Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Inside Lake City, the village girl whom Lu Xun hated so much was kneeling before a large banner, praying to the gods.

Lu Xun listened to the story as a tale, but the awakening he experienced was actually true.

Nadak was originally just an ordinary village girl, at most a kind-hearted young woman.

Their village was plundered by the defeated army of the kingdom, and Na Dak fell off a cliff while being chased by thugs because of her beautiful face.

On her deathbed, she encountered her god.

The gods bestowed knowledge and power upon her, enabling her to transform from a village girl into a saint.

With his terrifying personal charisma, he united various forces, turning the defeated armies of various countries that had been ravaged by Lu Xun into a new force, and blocking the torrent of Lu Xun's violence.

He became the savior of various kingdoms.

Today, Nadak has a new name: Joan of Arc.

"Holy Maiden! Our scouts have reported that the Eastern army is gathering and seems to be planning to attack us again!" Gilles de Montmorency Laval respectfully reported the latest news to Joan of Arc.

“Baron Gilles, there’s no need to call me Saintess. We are comrades-in-arms. Just call me Joan of Arc!” Joan of Arc stood up and pulled out the iris banner that was stuck in the ground.

This is something that appeared in her hands after her encounter with the gods, and it is also a symbol of her meeting with the gods. It contains powerful energy, and after becoming a symbol, its effects have continued to grow stronger, even to the point that it can drastically distort reality.

"As you command, Your Majesty Saint Joan of Arc!"

Joan of Arc smiled helplessly. Gilles de Rais clearly possessed exceptional command skills for large armies, and at one point he was even able to rival Lu Xun.

However, the kingdom he served was too small, and he was directly betrayed to Lu Xun by the king. When he was almost captured, he was saved by Joan of Arc and voluntarily became Joan of Arc's right-hand man.

Helped Joan of Arc maintain order, train the army, and manage logistics...

If Joan of Arc is an unreal miracle, a beacon of hope in everyone's heart, then Gilles de Rais is the shadow beneath that light, hiding himself in its shadow and giving everything for Joan of Arc.

"Gather your warriors, for this time, we will once again defeat those Easterners!"

Joan of Arc began to radiate light, even burning with holy flames, and her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

Joan of Arc was enveloped in dazzling holy flames, and in Gilles de Rais's eyes she was so beautiful that he was captivated and willing to offer everything to help her achieve that impossible miracle.

Indeed, Joan of Arc was full of miracles.

Lu Xun's painstakingly devised tactical arrangements were seen through by Joan of Arc without any intelligence, relying solely on her intuition.

All the plans were seen through, and we were already at a complete disadvantage before they even began.

If it were anyone else, Lu Xun might have been able to turn the tide.

But the problem is that Lu Xun is facing Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc's command ability was indeed no match for Lu Xun's. After all, she was just a village girl before, and even if she received knowledge from the gods and possessed all the knowledge needed to command a large army, it would be difficult to achieve the same results.

But Joan of Arc lacked real-world experience and had no platform to fully transform her knowledge into ability.

Compared to Lu Xun, who has already transformed knowledge into ability, the difference is huge. Joan of Arc's growth is rapid, but she has no chance of winning against Lu Xun in his complete form.

However, the one who truly commanded the army was Marshal Gildre.

This was a true commander of a large army, especially after being crushed by Lu Xun, betrayed by his own country, and rescued from despair by Joan of Arc, and after sharing the knowledge of the gods completely.

Gildre's mindset underwent a qualitative leap, and his abilities also began to improve significantly.

While they may not be considered the pinnacle of large-scale army command, they are certainly among the top-tier large-scale army commanders.

Joan of Arc was in charge of planning, and Gilles de Rais was in charge of execution. Their tacit cooperation had thwarted Lu Xun's attacks several times.

"..."

Looking at the massive army that appeared in front of him, Lu Xun's face darkened slightly. His spiritual talent was completely useless against Joan of Arc.

All the elaborate deceptions were completely ineffective against Joan of Arc.

The opposing team always manages to catch his main force.

Fortunately, this time he didn't intend to misjudge anything using his mental talent.

This time, he will face Joan of Arc head-on.

Dian Wei, carrying two halberds and wearing three suits of armor, squatted in the center of the army with the Imperial Guards of the Former Emperor, concealing his power with a rather silent demeanor.

Although his command and troop leadership skills were mediocre, Dian Wei's intuition was quite accurate. With just one glance, his expression became completely serious.

He felt that Lu Xun was talking complete nonsense, and that the aura emanating from Joan of Arc had absolutely nothing to do with a village girl.

At their level, they have almost etched their will into their aura.

With just one glance, you can roughly tell what kind of person the other person is.

Dian Wei had never met anyone like Joan of Arc.

The saintly aura emanating from the other party made Dian Wei hesitate, wondering whether he should attack.

But soon, Dian Wei suppressed all his distracting thoughts.

He was very clear about his own position. He had no command ability and could not make clear and efficient judgments on the battlefield. He would never become an outstanding general.

Therefore, he only needs to follow orders, as every commander in Xinghan is definitely stronger than him.

Therefore, Dian Wei is only suitable to team up with the original Emperor's guards.

"Once we see the enemy cavalry charging, we should immediately press forward to meet them?" Dian Wei scratched his head, looking at the military order issued to him with some doubt.

What kind of order is it to counter-charge and press forward as soon as you see cavalry charging?

Infantry deliberately ramming into cavalry? Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"General, this is a military order, please obey it!" The messenger wore an innocent expression; he truly hadn't changed a single word, he relayed exactly what Lu Xun had said.

"I see!"

After confirming the authenticity of the military order, Dian Wei sent the messenger back with the reply to report back.

Although he didn't quite understand the order, Dian Wei had confidence in Lu Xun, in the Imperial Guard of Yuanzhu, and in himself.

Regardless of the actual situation, and regardless of how saintly Joan of Arc was on the other side.

All he needs to do is execute the commands.

Dian Wei was very confident in the defensive capabilities of the Imperial Guards. Even when clashing with cavalry, he could confidently guarantee that even if the opposing Miracle Legion were to break through, they wouldn't be able to do so easily in a short time.

There's nothing to be afraid of in a mere charge by the Military Soul Legion; just charge straight in.

Moreover… Dian Wei looked at the Xing Tian Dharma Image residing within his body; this might become his killing move. Lu Xun stared at the layout on the sand table. The two sides faced each other thirty miles apart, a dangerous distance; the other side could launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Joan of Arc's army was a cavalry unit. Cavalrymen have long legs, so Dian Wei definitely couldn't catch up with them.

Therefore, the only option was to send Dian Wei with the original Imperial Guards to confront the enemy directly.

He did have cavalry under his command, but they were no match for Joan of Arc, so he had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

Meanwhile, at the very heart of the allied forces, Joan of Arc was praying, while her Knights of Souls were replenishing their supplies. They were not afraid of fighting head-on.

This was the confidence and momentum they had built up by following Joan of Arc's victories all the way.

Under Joan of Arc's leadership, they will fear no opponent.

As for Gilred, who was positioned slightly further back, he was adjusting his own condition, knowing he couldn't be careless in the slightest when facing Lu Xun.

He didn't have Joan of Arc's ability to see through Lu Xun's spiritual talent. If he were to be careless for even a moment during command and be misled by the enemy, the entire army would likely be affected.

He absolutely cannot hold Joan of Arc back.

"Report! The enemy is gathering and marching straight towards our army!" The scout urgently reported the situation, and Gilred nodded slightly.

Joan of Arc's intuition proved correct once again, and they were already prepared to meet the attack.

"Order all units to prepare for battle."

Gilred gave the order to the messenger beside him, and the army began to busily prepare.

“We need to get ready too,” Joan of Arc said, looking at the knights behind her.

Joan of Arc cut her palm with a silver sword, then knelt down devoutly, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a gesture of prayer.

All the knights stared at Joan of Arc with fervor, knowing full well that they were about to witness another miracle.

Joan of Arc stood up, and the holy banner in her hand began to radiate a divine light.

"Listen, noble knights, even though we come from different kingdoms, even though we were once enemies, we now fight side by side against a common enemy."

"I am Joan of Arc! In the name of the Lord, I will be your shield against all harm, and your sword to cut down all enemies!"

Joan of Arc raised the sacred banner high, and bright light flowed from it, radiating through Joan of Arc's body.

A bright light enveloped the entire army.

In an instant, the allied forces, which had been arrayed in formation with an imposing aura, suddenly soared into the sky. Their iron-blooded and ruthless momentum made the soldiers on the Xinghan side feel oppressed.

Lu Xun's expression grew even more grim. He had had a vague suspicion before, but the power Joan of Arc displayed this time confirmed it completely for him.

The banner in Joan of Arc's hand was now almost like the Roman eagle banner, which already contained the embryonic form of the imperial will. The military spirit that Joan of Arc had forged paved the way for the imperial will.

Could a miracle really happen?

Lu Xun felt a little flustered. This scene reminded him of Ardashir, who, when his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, achieved a miracle and began to suppress all enemies.

Although he felt a little flustered, Lu Xun did not show it at all.

"go ahead!"

The instant Lu Xun's army crossed a certain line, a large number of arrows appeared in the sky, with French longbowmen frantically hurling arrows.

Gilred's goal was clear.

They did not intend to overthrow Lu Xun immediately, but rather to proceed steadily and gradually wear down the army's morale, launching a counterattack only when the army could not break through after a prolonged siege.

"Upper String!"

Lu Xun's expression was normal. The ones at the front were all heavy infantry, and they were fully armed heavy infantry.

The arrows rained down on these heavy infantrymen, making a crackling sound. Few were killed, and even a few were wounded.

Therefore, he was not worried about the safety of these heavy infantrymen at all.

"Counterattack!" Lu Xun shouted.

As he advanced, he kept his eyes on the distance. As soon as the arrows appeared on the horizon, Lu Xun immediately ordered the Danyang soldiers to nock their arrows. With their full field of vision, the Danyang soldiers would not miss any angles. Moreover, with their full field of vision, they could calculate the trajectory of the arrows based on their experience and then counterattack the enemy.

Dian Wei casually deflected the arrow that was shot at him, glanced at the Yuanzhu Emperor's guards who stood motionless around him, made no reaction, and quietly waited for the cavalry to appear.

Most of the arrows landed on the armor and were simply spread out.

It wasn't that the French longbowmen were bad, but rather that the distance was simply too great.

Archer legions like the French Longbowmen and the Danyang, who rely solely on physical exertion to achieve beyond visual range, will see their effectiveness decrease significantly as the distance increases without the compensation of archery talent.

Only certain specialized long-range archery units have archery correction at long distances, which, while causing a decrease in power, is not as pronounced.

Lu Xun's Danyang team unleashed nearly a thousand powerful arrows, covering the incoming rain of arrows.

Danyang's incredibly powerful arrows shot out, and another volley of arrows flew in from the opposite side. The Danyang soldiers immediately retreated behind their teammates, who raised their shields to block them.

However, almost all of the arrows flying from the opposite side landed on the other side, missing the Danyang soldiers.

This was precisely the effect of Lu Xun's spiritual talent, which interfered with the opponent's calculations, causing them to misjudge the distance and thus fall into empty spaces.

"It should have hit..."

Lu Xun's expression was somewhat solemn. He had misled the other side, but the other side had no ability to mislead him.

Countering the opponent at this distance using ballistics is not a difficult task for Danyang.

But the reality is that the other side was completely unaffected.

"Does the Empire's will distort reality to provide a layer of protection for all soldiers?"

Lu Xun already had a guess in his mind: the imperial will on the other side was at most a prototype, and it was impossible for it to give all soldiers the defensive power comparable to heavy infantry.

Therefore, the most likely effect is something like protection that can withstand one instance of damage.

Even so, it's enough to give anyone a headache.

"Come on!"

After the long-range arrow barrage began, Ling Tong and Ling Cao roared and led the Danyang elite troops out to clamp down on the allied forces' defenses like pincers.

"Abandon high-powered arrows and implement rapid-fire arrow volleys for suppression!" Lu Xun issued a new military order.

A dense swarm of arrows descended upon the enemy like locusts. Just as Lu Xun had guessed, Joan of Arc had granted all the soldiers a layer of protection, allowing them to withstand one instance of damage.

Faced with this situation, what's needed isn't powerful arrows, but rather cover and suppression; a volley of arrows should be rained down to directly break through the enemy's defenses. (End of Chapter)
