Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2291 Xuanwu Fights the Giant, White Horse and Silver Spear in Might

Compared to Lian Po's all-or-nothing gamble, which involved concentrating all his elite troops and generals in one direction and taking a risky gamble when he knew that a conventional approach would not lead to victory, this strategy was quite different.

Li Jing's deployment was relatively traditional. He assigned strong generals to the vanguard and both flanks, leaving no weak points exposed.

After all, given his superior raw strength, a conventional fighting style is the best approach for him; it's only when his strength is insufficient that he needs to take risks. And the consequences of such risks, if they fail, are equally devastating.

However, it must be admitted that while Lian Po's tactics made his left and right flanks extremely weak, they also made his vanguard incredibly sharp, thus making it extremely difficult for Alcyoneus and his men in the Han army to fight.

Li Jing's vanguard included three god-level generals: Alcyoneus, Pallas, and Anubis. The Four Fierce Warriors and Eight Great Hammers were assigned to the left and right flanks.

In terms of numbers, they seem to be no less numerous than the legendary generals of the Song army.

However, Arceus, Pallas, and Anubis were indeed at a disadvantage.

More accurately, Anubis, one of the three, was at a disadvantage.

Shortly after the battle began, when they ran into Xuanwu and his two companions amidst the chaos, Arcyonius, being the strongest among them, took the initiative to confront Xuanwu.

"Ding! The effect of the Arcuenis Brute Force skill has been activated, increasing Strength by 10. Current Strength has increased to 124."

"Ding! The Xuanwu Tianxuan skill effect has been activated. The four celestial spirits, the Northern Xuanwu, after this effect is activated, your own strength increases by 4. If you are located in the northern region, the opponent's weapon bonus will be sealed."

Xuanwu's martial prowess increased by 4, base martial prowess was 109, equipment increased by 1, martial god increased by 4, and current martial prowess increased to 118.

"Ding, affected by the effect of Xuanwu Tianxuan skill one, the weapon enhancement of the sealed Alkuonius has been reduced by 1, and its strength value has dropped to 123."

Among the seven great dynasties, the Great Cang and Great Wu dynasties naturally belong to the north, and their current location is almost due north.

Therefore, this skill effect can naturally be activated.

"Ding! Xuanwu Tianxuan skill effect two activated. Weak waters are so vast that even a goose feather cannot float and a bird cannot cross them. This skill can seal the enemy's mount bonus. If the opponent is an infantry general, it reduces their attack power by two points."

Alcuonius's military strength has decreased by 2, bringing its current strength to 121.

Arcyonius and Genbu can be considered to be the same type of general, with extremely strong defense but poor speed.

With his superior weaponry, Alcyoneus was able to unleash his full power, and his overall attack strength was even greater than that of Xuanwu.

However, Xuanwu is much stronger than him in defense.

In terms of defense alone, Xuanwu was first-rate at the time, no less than Li Cunxiao.

At that time, Li Cunxiao had withstood the full force of attacks from four great generals, including Xuanyuanba, without suffering any damage, which shows the defensive power of people at their level.

In particular, while the two may be evenly matched in terms of physical defense, Xuanwu's shield naturally has a greater defensive advantage over Li Cunxiao's weapon.

Overall, Xuanwu's defensive capabilities are even stronger than Li Cunxiao's.

Therefore, Arcyonius was completely incapable of breaking through Xuanwu's defenses. He couldn't even break through the shield, let alone directly attack Xuanwu himself. Furthermore, Xuanwu was actually stronger than Arcyonius in terms of raw power.

Even if Xuanwu's power didn't reach the level of Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba, it was already at the level of Luo Shixin, barely reaching the edge of the first tier.

However, the spear he used for attack was a standard light weapon. This was a sacrifice made by Xuanwu to compensate for his disadvantage in speed, so that he would not be slowed down when he made his move.

With this configuration, Xuanwu would naturally have a chance against generals who are not good at physical attacks. However, even though Alcyoneus's defense is not as good as Xuanwu's, Xuanwu's attack power makes it difficult to break through his defense.

Therefore, it was very awkward when these two fought, as neither of them could really gain the upper hand.

As for Pallas, he looked exactly like a mini-Xingtian or a mini-Xuanwu, with a large shield in one hand and an axe in the other. He could wear Zhao Bifang down to death.

Despite Pallas being on the defensive, if Zhao Bifang can't find a way to break through, he will be the one who can't withstand the attrition first.

Alcyoneus and Pallas were both fine; at most, they couldn't beat each other, but they weren't going to lose either.

However, when it was Anubis's turn, he was immediately suppressed by Gao Siji.

Although Anubis is not considered strong among the divine generals, Gao Siji has only recently broken through to the level of a divine general.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to suppress the veteran god Anubis so easily on his own.

Gao Siji was able to do this because he had the boost from his combo skills at that moment.

"Ding! The Bloodline Connection effect of the combination skill of Gao Siji and Gao Shunli has been activated. Martial power +2. Gao Siji's base martial power is 105 (+1), equipment +2, martial god +4, silver spear +6. Current martial power rises to 119."

"Ding, the combined skill of Gao Siji and Gao Sixiang, Brothers United, was activated, increasing their attack power by 2. However, due to the influence of their bloodline connection, the activation failed. Their current attack power remains at 119."

With the boost from the two sets of combined skills, even though Gao Siji had only recently broken through, his combat power still reached the level of a mid-level divine general.

Therefore, this is how Anubis was able to be suppressed.

"General Anubis, stop lying! Ma Yuan is here to lend you a hand!"

Just as Anubis was about to be in grave danger, a general wielding a large sword charged out on horseback and blocked the silver spear that was about to pierce Anubis with a single blow.

"Ding, Ma Yuan's combat skill has been activated."
Battle: Fight against heaven and earth, never yielding even in death, slaying gods and demons alike. The effects of the skill vary depending on the user, and it is an advancement from the Fighter and Battle Soul skills.

Effect 1: Fighting Spirit and Unyielding Will. After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 4, and it can be activated up to twice.

Effect 2: If you are fearless, you will reduce the opponent's strength by 1 to 4 points, depending on the opponent's strength level.

Effect 3: After beheading a general, it greatly reduces the morale of the enemy troops.

Once Ma Yuan's combat skill is activated, his martial prowess increases by 4, bringing his base martial prowess to 104. He also gains +1 to the Ancient Moon Elephant Trunk Blade, +1 to the Fire Dragon Steed, +3 to the Martial King title, and +1 to Li Jing's Military God title, raising his current martial prowess to 114.

With the help of Ma Yuan, who was at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, Anubis, who was about to be defeated, was able to regain control of the situation.
