Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1089 An Unexpected Existence

Just as the Xinghan army split into three groups and directly crossed the camp wall to storm into the camp, Joan of Arc finally appeared on the second layer of the camp wall.

"Not good, General Gao, rush over there immediately!" Lu Xun shouted loudly. At this moment, he finally remembered what that familiar feeling was.

God said: This place has no vital energy of heaven and earth!

As Joan of Arc's holy banner unfurled, an invisible wave emanated from it, instantly repelling all the vital energy of heaven and earth within a ten-mile radius. Even the clouds above both sides' heads appeared with a huge gap at that moment.

Lu Xun's face turned dark at this moment. He never expected that Shen Zhende would actually use the Xuanxiang formation. The other party's learning ability was simply exaggerated. She actually mastered the Xuanxiang formation in the middle of the battle and even carved a death formation in the camp.

The essence of heaven and earth was forcibly reduced to less than one percent, and the elite talents who relied on the essence of heaven and earth were directly diminished to the point of being unable to manifest.

However, despite this weakening, Willpower-type legions can still utilize some Willpower effects.

It can be said that Joan of Arc forcibly emptied the essence of heaven and earth, forcibly bringing the combat power of both sides to the same level. In fact, the French side had an even greater advantage because they had a unified will-based talent.

Lu Xun was in a real bind. Using regular troops to exchange for the enemy's cannon fodder was simply not the way to fight this battle.

But Lu Xun knew he couldn't retreat; he had to fight through this excruciatingly difficult exchange.

Gao Shun and his Trapped Camp clearly felt the difference from before when they entered the area devoid of the essence of heaven and earth. However, Gao Shun was not afraid at all. He forcibly activated the powerful will inherited from his original military spirit posture even in the absence of the essence of heaven and earth.

Similarly, after the essence of heaven and earth was forcibly reduced to one percent of its former level, the military spirit diffusion created by Han Xin once again received an unimaginable boost.

In just a moment, Gao Shun, relying on the power of the Miracle Legion, used his will to imitate the military spirit, allowing the military spirit to spread and spread to the vicinity.

At this moment, Gao Shun clearly felt that the will of the Trapped Camp could inspire his comrades many times over.

The Xinghan soldiers, who had been on the verge of defeat, suddenly surged in morale. Their superior quality compared to the French soldiers, coupled with the power of their military spirit, meant that although they hadn't regained their full strength, they were no longer suppressed by the French soldiers.

"Order the Peacocks to charge and break through the enemy lines, launch a full-scale attack from the right flank of the camp, and crush the inner camp wall at all costs!"

"Yes!" the messenger roared, and began to change the drumbeats and flag signals, using the battle flags to order the Peacock troops to launch a forced attack from the front and the middle of the cavalry on the right.

What does the draining of the essence of heaven and earth have to do with my heavy elephant cavalry? These mere dilapidated camp walls, I'll smash them to pieces.

Rahul, who was in charge of commanding the Peacocks, sighed when he saw the battle flag commander. He felt that the Peacocks should not actually attack now, but rank had an edge, and obeying orders was the responsibility of officers on the battlefield. So he roared and led the Peacocks to attack the right flank of the camp.

"Marshal Lu..."

Omzada, who was standing next to Lu Xun, looked at Lu Xun with some curiosity. In his opinion, shouldn't they concentrate their forces around the enemy's main formation, break through the enemy's main formation, and then focus their fire on the second line of defense?

Lu Xun did not answer Xiahou Yuan's question. Shen Zhende's Xuanxiang was stolen from him, so even if there were changes, the original fatal weakness must still exist.

Sure enough, the moment the peacock stormed into the camp, a messenger urgently reported to Lu Xun that the peacock had run headlong into the heavily stockpiled French troops, and that their resistance was extremely formidable, making it highly likely that they would be driven back. He requested reinforcements.

"Just as I thought!" Lu Xun's face turned ashen. It was a disgrace that the Xuanxiang, a cornerstone of the empire, had been stolen from him by the other side.

"Omzada, lead the Burning Guard, assist the Peacock, and break through at all costs!"

"Yes!" Omzada, who had been waiting for the right moment, led his 5,000 troops straight toward the direction of the peacock.

"Order Lu Junyi and Xiahou Yuan to suppress the enemy's reinforcements with all their might and break through the second layer of the right flank camp!"

Upon receiving the order, Lu Junyi led the Qilin Army, roaring as they charged fiercely at the paladins before them. Without the essence of heaven and earth, both sides' strength had been greatly reduced.

But the fighting spirit of the soldiers spread and transferred power to their side.

Even without the essence of heaven and earth, and the powerful force born from the distortion of will, a single blow from a Qilin soldier to a paladin's shield will cause a noticeable dent.

The twisted will allowed the Qilin Army to barely use a portion of their original qualities, and their ferocious force slammed into the paladin who was defending with his willpower and idealism, knocking him to the ground.

But in the next instant, these paladins got up from the ground. Lu Junyi's face darkened. The opponent's defense mode was too troublesome. Without the manifestation of the essence of heaven and earth, their three-talent legion had no way to kill the opponent.

But it didn't matter; their orders were to suppress the enemy with all their might.

Even if I can't kill the opponent, it's enough to just overturn them.

"If we can hold them off, we'll charge straight through!"

The paladins, summoned by Joan of Arc, roared excitedly. In the first wave of combat, only a few were killed outright, and it was only with the intervention of a powerful figure like Lu Junyi that they were eliminated. The remaining soldiers were not even injured.

This result was enough to greatly boost the paladins' confidence.

More paladins then charged forward in a defensive stance, intending to break through Lu Junyi and the others' blockade and head directly to support Peacock.

However, before they could even feel a surge of surprise, Lu Xun had already revealed his trump card, and the Shooting Sound Camp unleashed a barrage of arrows that rained down directly on the Peacock's front.

You want to dispel the essence of heaven and earth? Then let me show you the ultimate kill of pure will.

"Archery, fire!"

Even the heavily armored infantrymen were powerless against the terrifying combined attack of the Shooting Battalion; even with their shields raised, they were blasted apart by arrows.

Even a glancing blow felt like being hit by a cannonball, shattering the body instantly.

The battle line, which had been barely holding on by stripping away the essence of heaven and earth, suddenly developed huge openings when a volley of arrows swept towards the nodes of the formation.

"Peacock, charge forward!"

Rahul seized the opening, ordering some of the Peacock soldiers to fire from their positions while others launched a charge.

The piercing shriek could be heard even amidst the chaos of battle. The Peacock soldiers, standing on the elephants, wielded ten-stone bows and casually fired three arrows at the enemy's front. The ten-stone bow, which could be drawn with a mere thousand pounds of force, was a piece of cake for them, who could borrow the strength of war elephants.

Even if they are affected by the essence of heaven and earth, it is enough for them to complete a design.

The Peacocks' biggest weakness is their accuracy, which is almost the worst among all archer legions. However, at this range, they can hit targets even with their eyes closed.

Enemies are everywhere ahead!
No aiming is needed; you just need to draw the bow and shoot.

The terrifying power of the ten-stone bow was something that ordinary soldiers could not withstand, especially the French cannon fodder facing the Peacock. Even if they were wearing armor, a single arrow hit them and they would lose their fighting ability, even if they did not die.

The already shattered lines, disrupted by the initial barrage of arrows, crumbled instantly when confronted with Peacock's brutal fire and his charge, which involved shoving dragon spears directly into the faces of the enemy. Omzada arrived on the battlefield and, in coordination with Peacock, continued the advance. Those small, scattered units attempting to ambush Peacock were reduced to mere ordinary people after the Burning Guard burned away the last vestiges of their talents, leaving them easily slaughtered.

"Follow me and kill!" Oliver, one of the twelve knights, charged toward Peacock with a death wish, but before he could reach him, Omzada intercepted him.

"Die!" Omzada unleashed his full potential with his incineration talent, though its power was greatly diminished due to the loss of the essence of heaven and earth.

However, the Burning Guard with three talents is inherently more focused on willpower, so its combat power is not greatly affected, and it performs even more amazingly in this environment.

Omzada's weapon, wreathed in illusory flames, hurtled towards Oliver.

"You are the one who should die!" Oliver roared. Although he had no more spiritual energy, the holy light on his body still shone brightly, and he was able to fully unleash his full fighting power.

Flames and holy light clashed fiercely in mid-air.

From the moment they started fighting, it was a life-or-death struggle between the two. Both were bound by military orders and could not retreat.

Meanwhile, seeing that his opponents had been intercepted, Rahul led the Peacocks in a forced attack on the second-floor camp.

"boom!"

The heavily armored war elephants slammed into the camp wall, only to find that they couldn't move it.

"All of you, go! Open a breach at all costs!" Rahul immediately dispatched all his guards.

Even when these experts slashed at the camp wall, they could only leave a few shallow marks.

Rahul crushed the Heavenly Eye Relic in his arms, forcibly activating his Heavenly Eye supernatural power, and discovered that the camp wall itself actually had clouds flowing around it.

Therefore, in this environment devoid of the essence of heaven and earth, it is almost indistinguishable from an impregnable fortress.

This unimaginable defensive capability stunned Rahul for a moment, before he turned and roared at Omzada.

"Use your talents to burn down the clouds surrounding these fortified walls!"

Omzada and Oliver were locked in a fierce battle. Upon hearing Rahul's roar, Omzada didn't ask why. He risked being slashed and retreated to the center of the legion. He then manipulated the legion's will and unleashed all of his Burning talent onto the camp walls.

The once impregnable camp walls were rendered much less defensive, and the war elephants charged into them, instantly smashing through the walls and breaking into the second layer of the camp.

"Kill those cores!" Rahul's Heavenly Eye immediately located several core members of the Xuanxiang Death Formation.

Shen Zhende did learn Xuanxiang, but not thoroughly, and could only rely on the Death Formation to release its effects.

Therefore, when Rahul stormed into the second-level camp and destroyed several array cores in the first place, the array that dispelled the essence of heaven and earth immediately became ineffective.

After the essence of heaven and earth was eliminated, the talents of many legions were directly manifested, while the spread effect of the army spirit in the battle was greatly reduced.

But that was enough. After the return of the essence of heaven and earth, these French cannon fodder were almost powerless against these powerful legions. Their originally troublesome willpower defense was no better than paper in front of these top legion soldiers.

Feeling the power of his return, Lu Junyi raised his spear and unleashed his legion talent to the fullest. His Qilin soldiers, along with their horses, began to mutate into the appearance of Qilin, and their strength and speed increased significantly.

The paladins who were originally able to resist them were instantly dealt a cruel blow.

"die!"

A single spear thrust from a Qilin soldier pierced through the paladin's defenses. The previously formidable defenses were rendered as flimsy as paper, easily breached with a single spear thrust.

In just a few breaths, the Qilin Army, now at its peak, displayed terrifying strength at the pinnacle of three talents. The Holy Knight Legion, which was only at the level of the Imperial Guard, was no match for them.

Joan of Arc remained indifferent to everything that was happening; all the sacrifices were paving the way for the final victory.

"Die!"

A roar suddenly rang out on the front lines, instantly drawing Joan of Arc's attention.

All that could be seen was Ganilon, who had fought Zhang Fei head-on, now lying on the ground as a headless corpse, while Zhang Fei was radiating extreme fear.

The soldiers around Zhang Fei dared not approach him at all. In fact, black threads began to emerge from the bodies of all the soldiers facing Zhang Fei and surged toward him. This was a manifestation of the fear caused by Zhang Fei.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Zhang Fei roared madly, and the black threads behind him became increasingly solid, as if a terrifying demon god had appeared.

Even the Trapped Camp and Saint Michael's Legion, who were engaged in fierce combat, couldn't help but turn their attention to Zhang Fei.

Joan of Arc's expression began to change; things were starting to get out of his control.

Zhang Fei's existence is nothing short of a walking disaster for cannon fodder.

If Zhang Fei is allowed to continue his rampage, not only will the army not be transformed, but they might even be instilled with an irresistible fear by Zhang Fei.

At that time, Zhang Fei alone could probably cause the collapse of an army of 100,000.

God said: Be brave!

Joan of Arc picked up the holy banner, and an invisible wave spread out, instantly dispelling most of the fear.

But Joan of Arc could see clearly that the soldiers facing Zhang Fei were still experiencing a constant stream of fear, though it was very weak. If left unchecked, it would soon return to its previous state.

"Follow me and kill!" Joan of Arc could only carry the paladin and lead the thirty-odd guards around her as they charged towards Zhang Fei.

"Hahaha, well done! Let's fight!"

Zhang Fei glanced around and, upon discovering that all of Joan of Arc's personal guards were using internal energy to leave their bodies, immediately burst into laughter.

Being surrounded by so many experts fueled his fighting spirit to an all-time high, and the faces of Zhang Fei's personal guards, who had followed him through thick and thin, also revealed a strong fighting spirit.

Their side doesn't have as many people with internal energy leaving their bodies as the other side, but the remaining eighty-odd people all have internal energy that has reached the level of Qi Gang. Under the current suppression of the cloud qi, they are enough to fight the other side.
