Chapter 1080 The Escalating Test

The moment he saw the sun rise, Floresmat felt a sense of foreboding.

But at this point, there was no way out.

Sun Ce and Ma Chao had an excellent grasp of timing, not too early or too late, and their positions were neither too far forward nor too far back. They managed to separate the two cavalrymen and form two one-on-one situations!

"Kill them!" Floresmat roared, taking a deep breath.

They knew that Oliver's charge against the heavy infantry phalanx had been completely overwhelmed, but Sun Ce's army was clearly not the kind of heavy infantry specializing in defense. He was still very confident in using cavalry to break through infantry.

"Dispel the troubles, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Sun Ce roared and swung his spear down, and the soldiers of the Jiefan Army behind him charged directly at the cavalry legion.

At this moment, all the soldiers seemed to be united with Sun Ce's spirit and energy, and they knew what they needed to do without needing any command.

A powerful offensive, unleashing one's full combat potential, was launched to bombard the enemy's elite forces.

Floresmat's expression changed drastically.

Sun Ce unleashed the full force of his army, their military spirit distorting reality with an overwhelming momentum, like Mount Buzhou collapsing and the heavens crumbling, as they crushed towards Floresmat.

In just a moment, Floresmat felt a chill run down his spine.

Monster, yet another monster that's ridiculously strong.

A sense of fear welled up in Floresmat's heart. Every officer and general in Xinghan was so terrifying. Could they really achieve final victory?
"Fight for Her Majesty Joan of Arc!" Floresmat suppressed his fear and roared as he engaged the Jie Fan Army in close combat.

"Die!"

Floresmat slashed at the centurion of the Jie Fan Army with his sword. The centurion tried his best to parry with his shield, but he was still too exhausted to withstand the full force of such a powerful being who had broken through the boundaries.

The shield was cleaved in two by a single blow, and the centurion was instantly sent flying, but miraculously he did not die. Instead, he landed on his comrades and regained his footing.

"kill!"

Undeterred by Floresmat's aggressive stance, several soldiers on either side, wielding spears, launched a fierce charge, forcing Floresmat back.

Floresmat felt the numbness in his wrist, his face extremely solemn. If he hadn't reflexively used his sword to parry and successfully blocked these attacks, he would probably have been ripped open with several large holes.

The enhanced sun's blessing greatly amplified the soldiers' attack capabilities, making them undeniable even to those who had broken through realms.

Jie Fanjun's talent framework is a composite talent framework, which enhances physical and mental qualities, strengthens willpower, adapts to withstand all challenges, and is the core of the three subordinate elite talents - Exhilaration.

After acquiring the Military Soul, the fifth talent effect—Cooperation—was unlocked.

The main reason is that the Jiefan Army was trained based on veterans from Danyang. Even though their talents were washed away, they still retained their instincts, which were then fused into their bodies and became manifest talents under the distortion of the military spirit.

Having five talents at the same time, even without any special military spirit effects, makes this existence itself quite special.

Their strength has an extremely stable upper and lower limit, allowing them to consistently unleash the power of a top-tier legion and basically avoid any negative impacts.

Floresmat slashed left and right, displaying his formidable strength. He dared not hold back in the face of the overwhelming momentum of the Jie Fan Army.

The Jiefan Army could only barely resist, but had no power to retaliate.

Their numerical advantage was not effective against Floresmat's personal guard.

Floresmat's legion is a standard three-talent legion. Even though it is slightly weaker than the Jiefan Legion, it can easily suppress the Jiefan Legion by taking advantage of its charge.

But the core of the Jie Fan Army was never the soldiers, but Sun Ce.

"Enemy general, prepare to die!" Sun Ce looked at the chaotic breakthrough position and, knowing the resilience of the Jie Fan army, knew that the enemy would definitely not be able to break through. So he decided to hold them there and fight them to the death.

"Today I will slay you here!" Sun Ce's aura grew ever more imposing, symbolizing the ever-shining brilliance of the sun.

"Trying to kill me? You're overestimating yourself!"

Floresmat looked around at the situation, which was in a bad way. What should have been their advantageous combined attack had now been forced to break into one-on-one duels.

Ma Chao's side lost speed and his defense was greatly reduced, so he was suppressed by Roland and the Holy Knight Legion.

Roland's Paladin Legion also follows a pure three-talent path. While their physical attributes are explosive, their recovery ability and spiritual enhancement are much stronger due to the blessing of the archangel.

Having lost their speed, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was practically being beaten down. If it weren't for Ma Chao's Thunder God power, which greatly enhanced their reaction speed, they might have been scattered by now.

Ma Chao was fully aware of this; he was using himself as bait to create an opportunity for Sun Ce to break the deadlock.

Otherwise, if Ma Chao wanted to escape, Roland really wouldn't have been able to stop him.

After all, few legions in the world could catch up with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

Sun Ce knew this clearly, which is why he understood Ma Chao's determination even more.

"Kill!" Sun Ce's body radiated a crimson light, having already unleashed his full power.

The number of soldiers on both sides was not large, but their quality was extremely high, and the suppressive effect of the cloud formations was also very obvious.

Even against opponents with vastly different strengths, they can still put up a fight.

Sun Ce's spear slammed into Floresmat's sword.

That explosive solar power instantly blasted into Floresmat's body.

"Wow~"

Floresmat coughed up a mouthful of blood and quickly clasped his hands together. The angelic phantom behind him made the same gesture, and a beam of light descended, greatly improving his injuries.

"He actually has this kind of skill? But that's all he can do!" A small sun condensed at the tip of Sun Ce's spear, which he then smashed straight at Floresmat.

"I will kill you today!"

Floresmat staggered back several steps, horse and all, and looking at the excited and fervent Sun Ce, he clearly realized that he was no match for Sun Ce.

Floresmat felt a pang of sadness; he was hailed as one of the strongest knights, yet he suffered defeat after defeat.

It was as if anyone randomly jumping out from the Milky Way was much stronger than him.

Despite his sorrow, Floresmat did not hesitate to turn his horse around and flee from Sun Ce.

"Coward, are you trying to run away?"

Sun Ce roared, but Floresmat acted as if he hadn't heard him. Sun Ce tried to rush forward and forcibly stop him, but Floresmat's guards swarmed forward, blocking Sun Ce from moving.

Floresmat suppressed his urge to rush back and fight Sun Ce to the death, and calmly returned to his command position. He began to direct the two legions to make a flanking maneuver and concentrate their forces to encircle and annihilate Ma Chao.

"Sun Bofu, are you up to the task?"

While enduring the attack, Ma Chao angrily cursed Sun Ce, complaining that Sun Ce had spent so long and still hadn't defeated his opponent, which was practically sabotaging him.

"What can I do if the other side won't fight me?" Sun Ce felt a bit frustrated. The other side was like a dragonfly skimming the water. Since the first conflict, the other side had completely adopted a strategy of avoiding battle. Sun Ce's bursts of energy were like hitting cotton.

"Sun Bofu, you've been completely ruined by Zhou Gongjin!" Ma Chao shouted angrily.

Sun Ce is such an idiot. He created such a good opportunity for the enemy, yet he couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop. He really is a noob.

Fortunately, Sun Ce wasn't completely incompetent; he at least held the rear of the Liangzhou cavalry, allowing them to retreat and reorganize their offensive at any time.

"Sun Bofu, I need to withdraw and reorganize the formation for the charge. I'm leaving this to you!" Ma Chao said quickly.

"Understood!" Sun Ce replied in a muffled voice.

Ma Chao's roar perfectly captured Sun Ce's thoughts. It was unclear when Zhou Yu began to restrict his fighting ability. While Ma Chao continued to challenge the remaining enemies, Sun Ce was almost stagnant, or rather, making very little progress.

"Follow me and break through!"

Ignoring Sun Ce's reaction, Ma Chao led his Liangzhou cavalry past the Jiefan army, leaving them surrounded by two cavalry legions.

"Form a circular formation and prepare to defend against the charge!"

Just after Sun Ce ordered a change in formation, several streaks of light suddenly flew over from the horizon. Upon closer inspection, Sun Ce realized they were several holy swords wreathed in holy flames.

"Break it for me!"

Sun Ce mobilized the clouds of his army and pointed with his spear. A terrifying sun rose slowly, directly canceling out the several holy swords in mid-air.

"Roland, join me and annihilate this infantry corps!"

Floresmat watched Ma Chao stride away, knowing that the opponent would soon return. Ma Chao's defensive capabilities during his high-speed charge were simply too terrifying. A head-on confrontation would be too disadvantageous. They had to use Sun Ce to block Ma Chao.

However, the two cavalry legions did not have enough space to deploy, which prevented them from exerting their full strength to suppress Sun Ce. Instead, they were firmly held back by Sun Ce, creating a perfect opportunity for Ma Chao.

After a massive loop, Ma Chao made no attempt to conceal his attack, flanking out from the flank and striking directly at the very edge of Sun Ce's circular formation.

Having been slashed hard on the outer flank by the Liangzhou cavalry, Roland and Floresmat were momentarily at a loss.

Ma Chao's charging power was too fierce; without a frontal charge, it was impossible to withstand the surprise attack of Ma Chao's army.

Surrounded by them, Sun Ce's Jie Fan Army was exceptionally skilled in combat. They were unable to end the battle in a short time and could only hold off Sun Ce, only to be caught off guard and struck hard by Ma Chao.

"We must suppress them by force as soon as possible! Roland, pray with me to Her Majesty Joan of Arc!" Floresmat looked at the hundreds of soldiers who had been killed, his heart filled with hatred, and decided to overturn the table.

"For Her Majesty Joan of Arc!"

Roland understood Floresmat's meaning, so he readily cooperated with Floresmat and prayed to Joan of Arc in the distance, hoping to gain Joan of Arc's divine protection.

"allow!"

Joan of Arc raised her head, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light. The power of the Imperial Will directly bypassed the magic circle and landed on the banners of Roland and Floresmat Legion.

The two flags instantly burst into golden flames, visible even from a great distance.

"Should you go or should I go?" Ma Er turned to look at Gao Shun beside him. In the instant that power surged, they sensed a subtle piece of information.

The enemy's Miracle Legion seems to be approaching Ma Chao and his group.

Although the other side has not fully appeared yet, now that they have arrived, it is up to them to deal with them.

"I'll go, I also want to test what the difference is between our two Miracle Legions!" Gao Shun said calmly, but the bruises on his eyes looked rather comical.

Ma Er didn't get entangled. The Trapped Camp was quite strong, but after all, it was a newly promoted Miracle. It was only about eight ounces in radius with Joan of Arc's side, so the two sides could be considered good opponents.

Roland and Floresmat teamed up against Sun Ce, giving him a hard time.

Although Sun Ce was stronger than Roland, his strength was only limited. With the addition of Floresmat, Sun Ce could only defend and hold on, waiting for Ma Chao's support.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, patiently probed from the outside, like a soft knife, constantly cutting into the flesh of the Holy Knights.

"Really? Are you serious? You're going all in?"

Ma Chao once again broke through a portion of the soldiers, circled around, and prepared to reorganize his charge.

The original plan was for him to draw fire while Sun Ce pushed forward, but now it's the other way around, with Sun Ce drawing fire while he charges in.

However, this was also a matter of going with the flow. After the first wave of attack, it was Sun Ce who held the rear for him, which allowed the offensive and defensive situation to be reversed.

According to this model, as long as Sun Ce could hold out, they would win.

Just as Ma Chao was full of ambition and planned to kill Roland and his men, the aura coming from beyond the horizon made his expression turn serious.

He knew that their greatest opponent this time—the Miracle Legion—had arrived.

But the next moment, Ma Chao's seriousness vanished as they sensed the presence of the Trapped Camp.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, the miracles of the opposing side are naturally left to be dealt with by one's own miracles.

Of course, if given a choice, Ma Chao would rather challenge the Miracle Legion.

Knowing that the Miracle Legion was being dealt with, Ma Chao focused all his attention on the two legions in front of him.

Roland wanted to continue with the slow, insidious plan, but he also wanted to stop Ma Chao and kill that bastard directly.

But Ma Chao was just too fast, so Roland had no choice but to continue beating Sun Ce.

He simply couldn't believe that Ma Chao would really stand by and watch someone die.

But Ma Chao was clever and didn't fall for the flaws Roland had created. Instead, he kept looking for flaws he had made himself.

On the other side, the two Miracle Legions began to confront each other.

Both sides were well aware of each other's intentions, but both maintained restraint. Only when they truly stood together did they realize that the other's strength was not much different from their own.

Both sides were caught in a dilemma.

"This road is blocked, everyone should retreat quickly!" Gao Shun shouted with a forced smile, then gripped his long sword tightly, somewhat regretting leaving Lü Bu with the main force.

Bai Qi was curious about Zhang Bao's secret techniques, so he captured Lü Bu to act as a translator and also to get Lü Bu's opinions.

If Lü Bu were here, he would not hesitate to give the order to attack.

But now that both sides have equal strength, the losses would be too great.

"What if we insist on going through it?"

"Hehehe, then we'll have to rely on the weapons in our hands to decide the outcome."

When words fail to reach a consensus, even a few words are too much. Gao Shun's words almost made the other party unable to suppress their urge to attack.

 My family member is undergoing surgery these past two days, and I need to be with them full-time, so updates are extremely slow. But I'll update whenever I have time. I sincerely apologize to all my readers.
