Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1075: The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden

Lu Xun looked at Guo Jia and felt a sense of powerlessness.

What's the difference between a smart person who refuses to think and a fool?

However, he was very curious about how Gao Shun was able to enter the realm of miracles so easily. There has never been a standard for breaking through miracles, so the ways to break through miracles are varied.

But one thing is certain: it requires a brilliant will, exceptional qualities, and a sufficiently powerful opponent to achieve the impossible in dire circumstances, thus creating a miracle.

"for you!"

Guo Jia, expressionless, extracted the memories that his instincts had blocked from his consciousness.

"Aren't you in pain?" Lu Xun was utterly bewildered by Guo Jia's nonchalant actions.

This involves extracting memories; if done wrong, one could turn someone into an idiot. Guo Jia is truly defying the heavens.

He originally thought it was an adjective, but it turned out to be the literal meaning.

"I'm used to this pain!" Guo Jia said calmly, as if he were talking about someone else.

Lu Xun took a deep look and realized the true value of Guo Jia's desperate gamble back then; he was truly heading towards death.

No, it might be even worse. What's the difference between a wise person who has lost their wisdom and someone who is worse off than dead?

Guo Jia and his colleagues' seniority wasn't earned through mere waiting, but through sheer hard work and dedication.

Lu Xun infused his mental energy into Guo Jia's memories to investigate further.

"General Gao, what exactly did you go there for?"

In his memory, Guo Jia looked at Gao Shun with a puzzled expression.

They had separated from Lu Xun to fight in Southeast Asia, which was a rather troublesome project. Fortunately, there was no unified dynasty there, and Guo Jia led the Trapped Camp to create a huge force in no time.

After all, their technology and power are akin to a dimensional reduction attack for these people, making them easy to eliminate.

They recruited some and then attacked others, expanding their territory rapidly.

Gao Shun was only tasked with dealing with some low-level bandits and thieves, mainly because the local army's discipline was too poor and had not yet been reformed, so Gao Shun had to be sent on the mission.

Guo Jia had considerable confidence in Gao Shun's military leadership.

"I went to the Himalayas..." Gao Shun's expression was somewhat unpleasant in my memory.

“Among the bandits I dealt with, some were using the power of divine visualization, so I went to the Himalayas, where there was actually a ‘Brahma’ lying there.”

"To be precise, he should be called Shiva, and he seems to be a completely different being from Brahma!"

Gao Shun looked puzzled as he said this.

Japan has a sacred land, and Japan has sacred lands in several worlds. So when he saw someone using the power of visualization of gods and Buddhas, he went to the Himalayas, the source of this power, to find out.

It turned out that, whether due to the passage of time or the prayers of believers, Shiva replaced Brahma, and was even alive.

Then Gao Shun led the Trapped Camp into a miracle and shattered Shiva.

The whole process, as Gao Shun reported, was that simple.

Guo Jia was stunned upon hearing this. He was absolutely certain that the process Gao Shun omitted was filled with all sorts of thrilling moments.

But the final result was exactly as Gao Shun had said: the Trapped Camp kicked Shiva on the Himalayas to death, then divided up Shiva's power, and all of them directly achieved internal energy transformation, realizing a miracle in normal circumstances.

The qualities that were originally lacking were immediately replenished after absorbing Shiva's power.

The current Trapped Camp has truly broken free from the scope of the Imperial Guards and become another direction for the development of the Wolf Riders.

However, because it absorbed Shiva's power, it was inevitably affected.

The Trapped Camp's abilities have now undergone a significant shift; the original "Military Spirit" effect, which grants an extra point to the entire army, has been replaced by "Destruction."

The attack carries a higher level of destructive power, which is basically the destructive power of internal energy leaving the body by using the quality of internal energy forming a qi shield.

In a sense, it can be considered an evolution, since the burden on the Trapped Camp has been reduced, and they can even exert some of the destructive power of breaking through boundaries.

To put it simply, it's like the difference between a pistol and a cannon.

For Gao Shun, this is actually a good thing. In a sense, they can now benefit from the enhancement of Mu Yi's monarch talent, and their theoretical upper limit has become even higher.

Lu Xun withdrew from observing the memories. He had suddenly realized something: why was he looking at Guo Jia's memories? Guo Jia's memories were also secondhand. If he wanted to see or ask questions, he should have gone to Gao Shun.

A chill ran down his spine. Lu Xun's gaze towards Guo Jia was now no different from that towards a monstrous flood.

I was actually infected by Guo Jia; it felt like I was being branded with an aura of idiocy.

However, Zhou Yu's talent was spiritual, while Guo Jia's was purely personal talent.

Not daring to be in the same room with Guo Jia, Lu Xun made up an excuse and went to find Gao Shun.

When Lu Xun saw Gao Shun, he discovered that Lü Bu was also there.

"Lord Wen, what are you doing here?" Lu Xun was somewhat surprised, as he had not received any transfer orders.

"Marshal Lu, please forgive me. This is the projection of Marquis Wen's will. I summoned it to check the enemy's formation and see if there are any hidden dangers."

Gao Shun stood up and recounted the whole story.

Lu Xun looked at Gao Shun and found it somewhat amusing. What kind of mortal wisdom was this? Had he been infected by spending too much time with Guo Jia? He should probably stay away from Guo Jia.

If he were to lose his prized wisdom, he would truly be living a life worse than death.

Not everyone can be as straightforward as Guo Jia; if it were Lu Xun, he might have committed suicide.

He simply couldn't imagine himself thinking like an ordinary person or a military general.

"General Gao, the vanguard is the soul of the Imperial Army. If there were any problems, the Imperial Will and the Emperor would have intervened long ago!"

Lu Xun casually offered a suggestion that enlightened Gao Shun.

Guo Jia had been in power for so long that Gao Shun almost forgot that when encountering something he didn't understand, the best choice was to consult a wise person first.

Even if he didn't trust outsiders and wanted to consult an acquaintance, he shouldn't have gone to Lü Bu, but rather to Chen Gong.

Lu Bu didn't care. He was worried about it at first, but after hearing Lu Xun's words, he immediately realized what was going on.

With the imperial will in place, he doesn't need to worry about this matter.

"Gongzheng, remember to look me up when you get back to Luoyang. You owe me a drink!" Lü Bu waved his hand and disappeared.

Lu Xun must have something to discuss with Gao Shun. Although Gao Shun is one of his own, Lu Xun is a marshal on orders to go out into the world, and he cannot be interfered with at will. This is one of the ironclad rules that Chen Gong told him he must abide by.

After all, the Bingzhou faction objectively existed, but Lü Bu could not treat the Bingzhou faction as his own army and mobilize it at will.

Even if Emperor Mu Yi was magnanimous, such a vast empire, if it were to be sued by someone with ulterior motives, would be punished even if Lü Bu was the emperor's father-in-law. In other words, as a relative of the emperor, Lü Bu absolutely could not be allowed to interfere in the military.

The fact that Bingzhou now has two miracle legions is itself a very dangerous sign.

Mu Yi might not care, but Jia Xu would definitely not hesitate to issue a warning, regardless of Lü Bu's identity.

"Has the Marshal issued any orders?" After seeing Lü Bu off, Gao Shun looked at Lu Xun with a serious expression.

"I already know about your situation from Fengxiao!"

"If you were to face a miracle legion that has just been promoted to a miracle and cannot maintain its normal miracle status, but is supported by the will of the Empire and can even burn the enhancement of the will of the Empire, what level of performance would you be able to achieve?"

Lu Xun's words made Gao Shun frown and think for a while before he spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid it's hard to say who's better!" Gao Shun gave a very objective result.

Both sides have their strengths, but given the status of the imperial will, Gao Shun really couldn't say which was better.

"I see!"

Lu Xun frowned slightly, but said nothing. At least the vanguard could definitely hold off Joan of Arc's miraculous legion, and that was enough.

Joan of Arc's left and right arms had been cut off by him. Even if the other side had backup candidates, they would definitely not be as good as Gillespie and Charlemagne II.

Furthermore, he used peace talks to sow discord between Joan of Arc and the nobility, and used unequal treaties to push Joan of Arc to the opposite side of the common people.

Once he had the slaves and artisans in hand, Lu Xun immediately adopted a policy of appeasement, and then released them back to undermine the morale of the allied forces.

It will be more valuable to tear up the treaty at that time.

The act of breaking a treaty can only be used once; he must get rid of Joan of Arc directly, otherwise the consequences will be endless.

"If we want to deal with a legion like this, I suggest that you request the Flying Bear Army to be transferred here. With the combined strength of our two families, we will definitely be able to eliminate them at the lowest possible cost!"

Seeing Lu Xun frown and fall silent, Gao Shun thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

"Would the casualties of a single legion be very high?" Lu Xun was knowledgeable about military affairs, but his understanding of the Miracle Legion was relatively insufficient.

"If it's a fight to the death, even if you win, it's basically because your unit is crippled and can't continue fighting!" Gao Shun gave a definite answer.

It wasn't that Gao Shun had seen them before, but rather that he had been constantly simulating how to deal with various Miracle Legions, so he had a very clear understanding of the upper and lower limits of the Miracle Legions.

If it's a two-on-one situation, casualties can be kept to a very small range, but that's the limit. Regardless of the number of opponents, casualties are unavoidable.

However, adding a few ranged legions such as Vanguard, Archer, Houyi, and Peacock could reduce casualties.

These legions possess enough offensive power to pose a threat to miracles.

"Does it absolutely have to be the Flying Bear?" Lu Xun pressed.

"No need, any two Miracle Legions can join forces... Of course, the opponent can't be the same as the First Yellow Heaven." Gao Shun explained, while casually mentioning the First Yellow Heaven.

There was no way to understand how extraordinary the First Yellow Heaven was after achieving this miracle; this thing was a monster that shouldn't even exist.

Miracles are merely the threshold to the first Yellow Heaven. Without the ability to overcome miracles, one will be greatly suppressed when facing the first Yellow Heaven, leaving only the ability to fight desperately.

This is also why the First Yellow Heaven was unable to deal with the multiple Miracle Legions fighting to the death.

Any miracle soldier, when fighting to the death, has a fairly high probability of taking down the opponent.

The tactic of mutual destruction can often narrow the gap in strength between the two sides.

"I understand!" Lu Xun's application was submitted to Luoyang just as Zhuge Liang was on duty.

"Request the Miracle Legion's assistance to deal with the Miracle Legion?" Zhuge Liang tapped the table, looking at Lu Xun's objective description of Joan of Arc's miracle in the application. Zhuge Liang felt a little troubled.

The Miracle Legion of Xinghan basically all had their own things to do, so when Lu Xun requested to transfer the Miracle Legion, Zhuge Liang really didn't know who to transfer for a while.

“How about sending the Tenth Knight… But no, they’re not suitable…” Zhuge Liang’s mind flashed with the image of the Tenth Eagle Banner, then he shook his head, rejecting the idea.

The Tenth Knight, busy nurturing Little Caesar, was unwilling to leave. Besides, it wasn't about fighting the Mongols, so the Tenth Knight might not be willing.

Their initial agreement was that if they fought against the Mongol Yuan dynasty, the Tenth Knight would definitely participate; as for anything else, they would have to discuss the terms.

Zhuge Liang was the King of Rome, but the Tenth Knight represented the Roman knightly class, and in a sense, he was indeed qualified to negotiate with Zhuge Liang.

After much deliberation, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to submit the application to Mu Yi.

"Your Majesty, I suggest calling the Imperial Guards back from the front lines. They can coordinate better with the Vanguard. We can also send Marquis Wen with his Dharma Avatar. General Dian's Dharma Avatar is clearly different from Marquis Wen's in actual combat. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to do some more experiments."

"Moreover, the vanguard was once the personal guard of Marquis Wen, so there might be other effects when they work together."

Zhuge Liang told Mu Yi his ideas, and as for making the decision, that was Mu Yi's job. He was only responsible for submitting the plan to Mu Yi, and whether or not to use it was entirely up to Mu Yi.

"Joan of Arc..."

Mu Yi was familiar with this name, and considering the other party's special status, Mu Yi decided to send out his ace.

"Pass on my order: Command Marquis Wen to lead the Dharma Minister to the Trapped Camp to command the troops!"

"Send the First Yellow Heaven Legion to assist Lu Xun in defeating Joan of Arc, and ideally capture her to serve our Xinghan!"

Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Mu Yi to send out the First Yellow Heaven directly. Did he value this saintess named Joan of Arc so much?

Although Zhuge Liang also felt that the other party was very capable, and might be a half-step military genius who was skilled in both military strategy and yin-yang theory, or a military genius who specialized in one area, Zhuge Liang was still far behind the other party in terms of his exaggerated ability to mobilize and boost morale.

With the issuance of the order, Lü Bu and the First Yellow Heaven crossed the spatial gate and arrived directly under Lu Xun's command to receive orders.

With the backing of two miracle legions, Lu Xun became even more unscrupulous, directly ordering the widespread dissemination of rumors about Joan of Arc and making the treaty known to everyone.

In an instant, Joan of Arc, the savior she once was, became a pariah, hated by everyone.

After all, only a few people had actually seen Joan of Arc; most people believed the kingdom's propaganda.

Previously, everyone was praising Joan of Arc and regarding her as a savior.

Now, they want to suppress Joan of Arc and remove her threat to their power and status.

But everyone who knew Joan of Arc stood firmly on her side.

This discovery sent a chill down the king's spine. If things continued this way, would the kingdom truly belong to him or to Joan of Arc?

In particular, Lu Xun's alliance proposal made the king fully aware that Joan of Arc had a way to save everyone.

That means getting rid of him, taking over, and all the problems will be solved.

In a moment of panic, the king acted decisively ahead of time, since the war was over and Joan of Arc was no longer the indispensable savior.
