Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Chase after them, but don't go too far. Travel together and don't break away!"

Bai Qi watched Oliver's departing figure, then thought for a moment and sent Ma Chao and Sun Ce out.

He wanted to gauge Joan of Arc's true strength and weakness.

The other party gave him a strange feeling; logically, they shouldn't have launched such a half-hearted attack on their main force.

But that's exactly what happened; many people died. Could this be a trap?

Bai Qi didn't understand Joan of Arc, so he decided to give it a try, at least to determine Joan of Arc's true nature from the details.

Although Lu Xun said a lot, Bai Qi didn't believe a single word of it and only took it as a reference.

On the battlefield, Bai Qi did not trust other people's judgments unless the opponent was someone like Han Xin or Sun Wu. Lu Xun could not win his trust.

"Clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses."

After Oliver left, Lu Xun quickly regrouped the defeated soldiers.

With only 30,000 of the original 50,000 vanguard troops remaining, Lu Xun was so angry that his face turned black.

"Where's Lu Lifeng? Tell him to get over here and see me!"

Lu Lifeng was not originally surnamed Lu. Lu Xun took him in as a family retainer, then gave him a Han name and made him share the same surname as himself.

They had high hopes for the other party and intended to get him into the Xinghan court. As long as the vanguard officer performed his mission properly, he would be considered a success.

Unexpectedly, instead of showing his face, he ended up showing his buttocks.

"Reporting to Marshal Lu, the general led the charge against the enemy general, but was ambushed by magic and killed!"

A disheveled soldier knelt before Lu Xun and wept.

"My general originally intended to surround and kill the enemy with 50,000 troops, but unexpectedly a great sword wreathed in flames fell from the sky, and the general was immediately killed and then burned to ashes by the flames..."

Lu Xun raised his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to continue speaking.

The initial anger dissipated, replaced by a sense of sorrow. Since he had died on the battlefield, his crime was already less severe.

Moreover, Lu Lifeng's death was caused by the other party using magic, and his actions were not particularly wrong.

The auxiliary troops are not regular troops and cannot obey orders without question; they must lead by example...

After careful consideration, there's nothing more to say about Lu Lifeng's untimely death.

"I understand, you may leave now!"

Lu Xun sighed. This was almost the second worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario was that Lu Lifeng would desert in the face of battle, causing the army to collapse.

"From now on, I will personally lead you all; follow me!"

"Yes!"

The previously scattered soldiers instantly found their leader and regrouped, seemingly starting afresh with a semblance of order. However, the army's morale was wavering and appeared fragile.

Lu Xun was helpless to see this scene; not everyone has Joan of Arc's ability to instantly boost morale.

Fortunately, Lu Xun also saw that Ma Chao and Sun Ce had gone ahead. With the military spirit and the three talents as two pillars of strength, Lu Xun was confident that he could accumulate momentum and push forward.

Ma Chao and Sun Ce chased after him relentlessly, but they didn't even catch a glimpse of Oliver's backside.

"It's all your fault, Sun Bofu, for being so slow! If it weren't for you, I would have already caught up with the enemy!" Ma Chao was getting a little frantic.

If Bai Qi hadn't strictly ordered the two of them to travel together, he might have actually been able to catch up with Oliver.

After all, in the world, besides the White Horse Army, Ma Chao's army is the fastest.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Ma Chao.

"You are cavalry, we are infantry, this is already our fastest speed!"

"Hmph..." Ma Chao knew that not all legions were as fast as them, but he couldn't understand why Bai Qi insisted on binding them together.

Just then, Ma Chao suddenly raised his head and looked at the distance not far ahead.

Two powerful auras surged into the sky, charging menacingly towards them.

"Ma Mengqi, did you feel it?" Sun Ce's expression was somewhat solemn.

"I can sense it. It seems they're impatient because they think we're too slow!" Ma Chao understood why Bai Qi had told them to use Sun Ce's speed as a benchmark.

The enemy was so easily provoked that they jumped out of their hiding place. Were they afraid the enemy would escape?
Judging from their imposing presence, they should also be two top-tier legions.

"Shall we pull off a heist?" Ma Chao asked Sun Ce telepathically.

“Fine, the Jie Fan Army isn’t afraid of the enemy!” Sun Ce replied decisively.

Of course, he wasn't crazy; he simply knew that even if they retreated, he couldn't outrun the cavalry. Only by defeating them could they be safer.

Moreover, in a two-on-two situation, neither Sun Ce nor Ma Chao feared their enemy.

The two legions unleashed their full power without reservation, their auras clashing in the void like axes clashing against each other.

A chasm instantly appeared on the ground between the two sides.

Floresmat, one of the twelve paladins galloping about, had a solemn expression. As the heir to one of the greatest knights, his strength was only slightly inferior to Charlemagne and Roland.

"Roland, be careful, these two legions are not easy to deal with!"

Roland II, who inherited the mantle of the greatest knight, went even further after Charlemagne II was captured, working diligently to improve his situation.

She rose to become Joan of Arc's right-hand woman, and even mastered entirely new knowledge and abilities.

"All enemies who stand in Her Majesty Joan of Arc's way shall be put to trial!"

Roland's eyes were filled with blazing holy flames, and the phantom of an archangel appeared on his body.

"All sins will be judged!" Floresmat roared, and the phantom of an archangel appeared on his body as well.

The two archangels resonated with the legion, and the clouds in the sky transformed into golden light, as if countless little angels were shuttling back and forth within the clouds.

"Wow, this opponent is no pushover!" Ma Chao's expression turned serious; his opponent was using some techniques he couldn't understand.

I don't know what it is, but the opponent's aura is so overwhelming that they are definitely not an opponent that can be easily dealt with.

"Sun Bofu, I'm entrusting my back to you!"

Ma Chao turned his head and shouted at Sun Ce, his body crackling with lightning. He raised his spear and poured all his power into the clouds, followed by a thunderous roar from the heavens.

A massive bolt of lightning struck down, bathing the entire Liangzhou Iron Cavalry Legion in its thunderous light.

"Swift as the wind, fierce as fire, and swift as thunder!"

Ma Chao incorporated everything he knew into the legion, and then fiercely cleaved down the spear.

"All troops, listen to my command and charge!"

The Liangzhou cavalry charged forward with unwavering momentum, like thunder, towards the paladin legion that appeared on the horizon.

Watching Ma Chao's departing figure, Sun Ce took a deep breath and ordered the Jie Fan Army, "Full speed ahead! Gather your momentum!"

Jie Fanjun's momentum was as solid as an abyss, and with each step forward, his momentum became more solid.

This is precisely the tacit understanding between Ma Chao and Sun Ce. Although there were no extra words, both sides understood each other's meaning.

"Holy Light Impact, prepare! No elevation angle, frontal assault!" Floresmat led his legion directly towards Ma Chao's front, creating an opportunity for Roland to defeat Ma Chao from the flank.

Although Sun Ce's army was right behind them, they were definitely not able to participate in the battle immediately. They could have defeated Ma Chao first and then dealt with Sun Ce slowly.

They knew very well that both Ma Chao's and Sun Ce's armies were formidable, but with the two armies positioned one in front and one behind, they had the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

"Charge straight in!"

Ma Chao noticed that the opponent was accumulating something similar to a legion attack, and directly manipulated the clouds to form a barrier.

"It's useless, Holy Light Impact isn't just a simple cloud attack!" Floresmat revealed a ferocious smile.

This is knowledge they obtained from divine wisdom, something that ordinary people cannot contend with.

The condensed holy light transformed into arrows that shot out towards the Liangzhou cavalry.

Because it was a direct shot, there was no need to aim; the Liangzhou cavalry simply charged at them.

Even though the range of a horizontal shot has been significantly reduced, the distance between the two sides is already quite close.

Looking at the overwhelming barrage of holy light arrows, Ma Chao grinned maliciously. Others might be afraid, but the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry were not.

With its swift charge combined with the charge defense talent framework, plus the third talent's enhancement of idealism, the entire legion possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities during its charge.

Although the Holy Light Arrow was mixed with some idealistic power, which made it material and able to break through the cloud barrier, it had no effect on the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

The Liangzhou cavalry's defenses were simply too formidable.

"How is this possible?" Floresmat was stunned. His sure-fire attack had failed to break through the opponent's defense.

Could it be some kind of immunity to remote attacks?

"Follow me!" Floresmat didn't have much time to think at this moment; with both sides heading towards each other, the distance between them was very short.

Both sides were like they had been injected with adrenaline, unleashing their legion talents to the fullest and roaring as they launched a fierce attack on the enemy in front of them.

Ma Chao's side completely abandoned defense and launched an attack that directly overwhelmed the opposing paladin, forcibly suppressing the opponent's offensive and unleashing a frenzied burst of power, showing no regard for what was to come.

This frenzied fighting style left the fully-powered paladin legion somewhat bewildered.

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry soldiers' near-suicidal fighting style was ferocious enough, but what was even more deadly was that the Paladins had a hard time breaking through the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry's defenses.

"die!"

Floresmat roared and slashed a centurion of Liangzhou Iron Cavalry into the air with a single spear thrust, but he clearly felt that the feedback from his aim was off.

Seeing his opponent get up from the ground, his expression turned pale; his full-force attack had failed to kill him.

But he soon noticed that although the Liangzhou cavalry's first charge was quite terrifying, their defenses weakened considerably once they slowed down.

The defenses that were originally quite strong were suddenly pierced as if they were made of paper.

"So that's how it is!" Floresmat stopped a Liangzhou cavalryman with a single shot, then mercilessly pierced the man's chest with his spear.

As speed decreases, defensive capabilities also begin to decrease significantly.

"Hold on to them, don't disengage, don't let them readjust, stick with them tight!"

"Tell Roland to flank from the flank and rear!"

Floresmat roared as he gave the order; he had completely grasped the secrets of the Liangzhou cavalry.

"Enemy general, prepare to die!"

Ma Chao spurred his horse and charged towards Floresmat, his spear tip pointing directly at Floresmat.

With a sharp clang of spears clashing, Floresmat nearly fell off his horse. At that moment, Ma Chao's fighting prowess far exceeded his expectations.

Even with his body enhanced by divine power, he was completely unable to contend with Ma Chao.

In his view, only Joan of Arc could fight Ma Chao, and even Roland on the other side seemed to be lacking. So when the spear was passed, Floresmat dared not hesitate any longer and rushed outward as fast as he could.

"Trying to escape? You'll have to ask your grandpa if he'll allow it!"

Ma Chao sneered as lightning crackled around him, charging forward at several times the speed of before, swinging his tiger-headed spear towards Floresmat's back.

Feeling the wind whistling behind him, Floresmat was terrified.

He couldn't understand how Ma Chao could be so fast.

At the last moment, two guards rushed towards Ma Chao, forcing him to retract his spear and sweep the two men away, shattering them.

"You will die today!"

Ma Chao engaged in a verbal battle with Chun Lei, his hair and beard bristling as he unleashed the full power of the Thunder God, intending to eliminate Floresmat in one fell swoop.

Killing the enemy general in battle is definitely the fastest way to demoralize the enemy.

"Bang!" The tiger-headed spear pierced out with a thunderous roar, but its path was blocked by a greatsword.

"Floresmat, you take command of the army, I'll deal with him!" Roland roared, wielding his greatsword, and then unleashed all his power as he charged toward Ma Chao.

The greatsword swept across Ma Chao's spear with a sharp whistle.

"You're much better than him!"

Ma Chao looked at Roland with a slightly cold gaze. The marks on Floresmat were not obvious, but those on Roland were far too obvious.

The archangel on the other person and the Thor behind him are definitely the same type of being.

"You think you can stop me?" Ma Chao's spear transformed into dozens of lightning snakes and blasted towards Roland.

Roland completely ignored Ma Chao, simply sweeping his greatsword to shatter all the dozens of lightning snakes, and then forced Ma Chao back.

"Sun Bofu, the rest is up to you!" Ma Chao roared, his voice reaching Sun Ce's ears accurately.

"You've left me with a complete mess!"

Sun Ce snorted coldly and led his army straight towards Ma Chao's rear. Floresmat, who was flanking from the side, had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack Sun Ce first.

Otherwise, if the cavalry were piled up together, they would become easy targets for Sun Ce.

Cavalry that has lost its speed is still at a disadvantage when facing infantry.

"My men, today is the day to relieve our troubles! Follow me and kill!"

The accumulated momentum erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the entire legion appeared out of nowhere like a great sun.

Like Ma Chao, Sun Ce had completely integrated the so-called divine power into his respective legions, allowing their soldiers to share in this power. (End of Chapter)
