Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1082 Joan of Arc's Preparations
"Hahahaha!"
Lü Bu laughed loudly as he wielded his halberd, displaying an invincible and powerful aura with his sweeping and powerful movements.
Gabriel gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but things became increasingly difficult.
"Boom~"
The void exploded with a deafening roar. Every strike from Lü Bu caused the void to tremble. The power that Lü Bu could unleash under the blessing of his Dharma form was terrifying. Gabriel was like a small boat in a stormy sea, struggling to hold on.
"Boring! The body and will are completely disconnected, and the strength displayed is less than one-tenth of the true power!"
A dazzling golden light pierced the heavens and the earth, followed by a deafening explosion, and Gabriel's armor was shattered.
Lu Bu, carrying his halberd, looked at Gabriel in front of him with disdain.
Even without the Dharma Form, under the influence of the clouds, the opponent was definitely no match for him.
Without the cloud formation, it would take at most a hundred moves to take them down.
Gabriel's face was extremely ugly. Even though his divinity was dominant, he could not tolerate being trampled on like this by a mortal.
"Fight for Saint Michael!"
The fluctuations in his emotions and will caused Gabriel to radiate a blazing light, and divine radiance descended from the sky, causing Gabriel's aura to rise again and again.
"I'm going to make you pay!"
Gabriel held the Holy Light Greatsword, his face filled with immense rage.
"Hehehe!" Lu Bu chuckled disdainfully. "Bring it on!"
Gabriel roared, unleashing his holy light greatsword in a torrent of light. The terrifying radiance caused even Gao Shun to turn his head in surprise.
However, facing such a terrifying torrent of light, Lu Bu only showed disdain.
"Kill!" Lu Bu shouted softly, and Gabriel's expression changed instantly. Lu Bu, who was radiating a golden-red glow, suddenly attacked at the same time as Gabriel's expression changed. He was like a thunderbolt, and the wind he generated was like thunder.
The radiant torrent of light broke apart inch by inch, and the golden-red glow, carrying a terrifying aura, swept over Gabriel.
Gabriel clasped his hands together, and the Holy Light Greatsword in his hands instantly transformed into a shield, with a halo of light protecting his entire body.
Lu Bu's fierce attack slammed into the shield without any reduction in force. The piercing sound of metal scraping against glass was followed by a deafening roar, and the ground beneath Gabriel's feet was shattered into powder.
The light surrounding Gabriel suddenly trembled three times, becoming extremely dim.
"Take another halberd!" Lu Bu no longer hesitated at this moment, and wholeheartedly devoted himself to this battle, fully unleashing his near-divine fighting power.
After entering this state, Lü Bu had completely unleashed his ultimate combat power. Fierce power burst forth from his body and the Dharma form that had assimilated to his body to a similar size. In that instant, Lü Bu unleashed almost all of his internal energy cultivated to its limit.
The wildly swirling halberd stirred the void, and the golden and red dragons on the halberd had fully bloomed, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression from the blade.
"Dong!" Like a bronze bell exploding, Lu Bu's main mental energy was unleashed on Gabriel.
"Pfft~" Gabriel was sent flying like a rag doll, landing on the ground where he was rescued by his personal guards. The remaining guards swarmed towards Lü Bu.
"Hmph!" Lu Bu snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating, his halberd sweeping across the battlefield and killing all the guards who rushed up in front of him.
Several miraculous soldiers joined forces and could not even withstand a single move from Lu Bu in his Dharma form. As the halberd swept across, they all became dead.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gabriel's already severely injured body became even more dizzy.
"Withdraw!" The moment Gabriel's voice rang out, the momentum of the Knights of St. Michael collapsed instantly.
"Don't let them go!"
Gao Shun led his troops in pursuit for several miles when suddenly a magic array rose from the ground, and a large number of illusory warriors emerged from the array, launching a frenzied attack on the Trapped Camp.
"Damn it!"
By the time Gao Shun and his men had wiped out all the illusionary soldiers, the Knights of Saint Michael had vanished without a trace.
"Clean up the battlefield!"
Gao Shun sighed. If the Miracle Legion wanted to leave, it would be really difficult for them to keep them there.
The vanguard has now abandoned cavalry and switched to infantry, significantly reducing its ability to pursue targets.
"Report, General! In this battle, we have killed nearly 800 enemy chieftains, while our army suffered 373 dead and 571 wounded!"
Gao Shun remained unmoved upon hearing his subordinate's report.
Putting aside Lu Bu and the results achieved during the pursuit in the latter half of the battle, overall, they were really evenly matched with the Knights of Saint Michael.
He was even at a greater disadvantage because he couldn't beat Gabriel.
I doubt we'll achieve such great success the next time we meet.
This time, it was hardly a fair contest, mainly because the first Yellow Heaven General, Lü Bu, was sent over.
Gao Shun squinted, pondering the future of being trapped in battle.
While they don't reject using Lu Bu's power, they also want to become strong enough to win without using Lu Bu's power.
Gabriel's retreat affected another battlefield.
"Retreat!" Roland, seeing Gabriel's retreat signal, shouted the retreat order to the rear almost without hesitation.
"Are we just going to leave like this?" Floresmat asked, somewhat unwilling.
In his eyes, they had already surrounded Sun Ce's Jie Fan Army, and it was only a matter of time before they annihilated Sun Ce.
"What can we do if we don't retreat? Look how many people have died on the outskirts. Before we can even take down this infantry, we might be crushed by their combined attack from both inside and outside!" Roland sighed, unwilling to give up.
But the fact is that they couldn't defeat Sun Ce for a long time. The Jie Fan Army, which formed a circular formation and held firm, was too powerful. Even when he and Floresmat joined forces, they couldn't shake them.
In addition, Ma Chao kept charging and cutting through enemy lines from the outside.
If they continue fighting, at worst it will only result in mutual destruction.
Although he didn't know what had happened on Gabriel's side, the fact that a miracle legion hadn't arrived at the battlefield as scheduled and had instead sent a retreat signal was itself an ominous sign.
Therefore, Roland did not hesitate at all and immediately led his troops to retreat.
"Trying to run away?" Sun Ce was displeased. He had been pretending to be a coward and getting beaten for so long, how could he just sit by and watch the other party run away? Wouldn't all the beatings he endured have been for nothing?
"Change formation, and keep them pinned down!"
Sun Ce roared and gave the order. The Jiefan Army charged forward fiercely, knocking down dozens of paladins and then finishing them off.
More than a thousand men in the central region drew their bows and arrows, and together they unleashed their full power against the retreating paladins.
As veterans from Danyang, they were skilled both at close and long range, and their arrows were second to none. When they worked together, the arrows they fired were comparable to those of a real archer legion. With several people working together, the arrows were extremely powerful, capable of piercing a paladin's body with a single shot.
Hundreds of arrows pierced the air, whistling as they went, and pierced the bodies of more than a hundred people, pinning them to the ground.
Ma Chao, who was roaming on the periphery, made the right decision in an instant. They couldn't possibly capture all the opponents. The best way was to intercept and kill a portion of them, forcing the enemy to give up that part, and thus maximize their gains.
Having realized this, Ma Chao did not pursue the main force, but instead launched an ambush along the enemy's retreat route.
With their lightning-fast charge, Ma Chao led the Liangzhou cavalry to a stop of more than 1,300 holy knights.
Sun Ce led his troops to cut off their retreat, and under the combined attack from two sides, the paladin remnants, who were already in a retreat, collapsed.
By the time Lu Xun arrived with his cannon fodder troops, Ma Chao and Sun Ce had already cleaned up the battlefield and buried all the corpses.
They certainly don't want to see a plague caused by war.
Therefore, during cremation and burial, a plague-repelling powder made by the medical school is added to maximize the suppression of the emergence of plague.
"For now, you will all be under my command and command. Do you have any objections?" Lu Xun asked Gao Shun, Sun Ce, and Ma Chao.
"Yes!" Although Bai Qi had completely taken over the command, Lu Xun still held the position of deputy marshal.
Ma Chao and his men had no objections and joined the cannon fodder unit directly.
The cannon fodder troops, whose morale had been somewhat low, instantly erupted in cheers after learning about the achievements of the three legions.
With such a powerful legion as their backing, a large group of cannon fodder immediately began to rub their hands together, their morale soaring as they continued to pave the way and advance.
They didn't need to worry about the safety of the central army behind them. The roads they traversed were patrolled by white horses, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage.
With Lu Xun in command and a powerful legion in the rear, the fighting power of the cannon fodder troops skyrocketed.
Joan of Arc's various disruptive tactics were completely ineffective.
After the army marched into a mountainous area with complex terrain, a large group of horse archers appeared in front of the army.
"shooting!"
Under the command of their centurion, thousands of horse archers fiercely fired arrows at the army. Thousands of arrows directly covered the cannon fodder soldiers at the forefront of the army, clearing out a large area.
Without the skill of the White Horse Cavalry, you simply cannot dodge such a comprehensive attack, so you can only endure it.
These ordinary cannon fodder soldiers were simply no match for the mounted archers of a three-talent legion.
Like a slippery loach, it twisted and turned before the army, launching a frenzied attack.
Lu Xun could only send Ma Chao to drive them away, and then have Gao Shun temporarily apply the Milan Guard's Spiral Stance to protect the vanguard of the army.
Otherwise, even if they are all cannon fodder and don't care about the losses, they will still find it hard to cope with the enemy's frequent reduction of their numbers.
After all, too many people died, and no one was left to clear the minefield for the main force.
Ma Chao felt a bit annoyed. The enemy's formation was loose, and they scattered and fled as soon as they saw them. He didn't even know which way to chase them.
They even worried that it was a trap to kill them, which made Ma Chao fight hesitantly and feel very frustrated.
Lu Xun did arrange for the Jie Fan Army to advance and wait for the enemy to appear, then shoot them down with a hail of arrows.
As it turned out, the opposing side seemed to have foreseen the future, directly avoiding Ma Chao and Sun Ce's main forces and instead exploiting their cannon fodder troops.
Imperial wars are basically between kings and generals; they don't easily send a top-tier opponent to fight among ordinary legions.
After all, it was a Pandora's box. Once opened, the consequences would be far too dire for either side to bear.
While top-tier legions are undoubtedly the backbone of the battlefield, the foundation of the battlefield still lies with the soldiers of ordinary legions.
If both sides go all out against the enemy's regular legions, after a few rounds, the casualties on both sides will increase dramatically.
Joan of Arc's fighting style is now beginning to subtly violate taboos, but it hasn't completely broken through that barrier yet.
It's like repeatedly drawing horizontal lines above a red line, betting that you won't dare to actually open the emergency Pandora's box and thus suffer losses.
Lu Xun saw this and was unwilling to do so, so he directly accelerated the advance, sending Ma Chao to clear the way and drive away the archer cavalry.
These archer cavalry really had no good way to deal with Ma Chao.
Their arrows were completely unable to penetrate the defenses of the Liangzhou cavalry during their charge.
"Change to armor-piercing arrows!"
The centurion in charge, seeing his two hundred-plus men wiped out by Ma Chao in one round, roared in a final struggle, took out his treasured armor-piercing arrows, and launched a last wave of resistance.
However, the difference in strength was obvious. They simply couldn't penetrate the defenses of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry. Without any restraint, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry swept across the enemy's defensive line at a normal speed.
When Joan of Arc's delaying tactics were completely shattered, Lu Xun deployed his vanguard troops, concentrating their firepower to support Ma Chao and Sun Ce's advance, causing the entire defensive line to collapse.
Roland and the others tried to remedy the situation, but it was too late; instead, they were blocked head-on by Ma Chao.
"We meet again!" Ma Chao's face lit up with excitement. "This time, I won't let you get away!"
"You really think we're afraid of you?" Roland suppressed his anger. "This is our territory."
Roland's roar unleashed a blinding light, and a massive magic circle appeared on the ground. A large number of soldiers were transformed into holy angels, and the strength of the entire army suddenly surged to an astonishing level.
This was one of the contingency plans left by Joan of Arc, which Roland was forced to use now. Without the Miracle Legion, they had no way to contend with Lu Xun's army.
"The clouds have actually changed color. The effect of this great secret technique is truly terrifying. The intensity of the clouds has changed. It's a truly comprehensive and flawless enhancement method."
Lu Xun muttered to himself, somewhat surprised.
But it doesn't matter; this tactic is nothing more than a death throes.
Although the desperate struggle was futile, the changes in the cloud formations still had some impact.
The soldiers' burden became even heavier, and the changing clouds caused the cannon fodder troops to be suppressed once again.
However, none of this mattered to Lu Xun anymore. Even if he became stronger, it would be difficult to change the current situation.
Besides, Lu Xun wasn't made of clay. Since the opponent was using a powerful secret technique involving cloud energy, he had to try it himself.
After Lu Xun unleashed his spiritual power, a large amount of flames erupted instantly and swept towards the French clouds.
The intensely burning clouds instantly weakened their effect, and the suppressive effect of the essence of heaven and earth diminished.
The injections into Ma Chao and other officers made them feel much lighter, and the power they could unleash became even more ferocious.
Lu Bu, who benefited the most, could even kill enemies within a radius of four or five meters with a single halberd strike. He could also wipe out large groups of French soldiers, completely becoming a supermodel monster.
Before the vanguard even made a move, Lü Bu, in coordination with Ma Chao and Sun Ce, utterly shredded the enemy's deliberately left-behind troops. (End of Chapter)
