Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Lu Xun was unaware of Bai Qi's arrangements. The less Lu Xun knew about Bai Qi's plans, the lower the chance that Shen Zhende would discover them.

On the other hand, Joan of Arc was somewhat uneasy, but often, even if you know there's a problem, you still have to face it.

For Joan of Arc, the army of over 200,000 men she led this time represented the majority of the French Empire's resources, with almost all of its elite troops mobilized.

This was also his final preparation to gather strength.

If all goes well, she will have at least 200,000 elite troops at her disposal during the decisive battle, at which point the framework of her million-strong army will truly be complete.

A veteran leading five new recruits is not simply doubling the number compared to a veteran leading ten new recruits; the overall combat effectiveness can be several times greater.

With the help of a group resurrection spell, Joan of Arc has a 50% chance of winning the final victory.

"Ganilon! You are hereby ordered to take five thousand paladins and, while the vanguard is engaged in battle, to flank and disrupt the enemy's advance!"

"Roland, take five thousand men and flank around from the rear. If you encounter any obstacles, retreat immediately and rendezvous with Ganilon."

……

Jeanne d'Arc issued clear instructions one by one. To be honest, besides training the troops, she was also thinking of giving Lu Xun a hard time this time, and weakening the Xinghan army's combat power to the greatest extent possible.

After several encounters, Joan of Arc had completely figured out Lu Xun's limits. Putting aside Bai Qi in the rear, she was confident that she could directly suppress Lu Xun.

Thinking of Bai Qi, a shadow of gloom couldn't help but rise in Shen Zhende's heart.

The shadow of being nearly surrounded and annihilated for the first time lingered in its mind, but the scouts it sent out were effectively shut down by Fifth Lark and the White Horse Cavalry.

Fortunately, they could occasionally rely on the Wizard's Eye to roughly determine the location of the army, but Bai Qi's isolation formation prevented their spying from seeing inside. They could only confirm that there was a large number of enemy troops in this unobservable area.

Joan of Arc sent many people to scout, but under the blockade of the Fifth Lark and the White Horse Cavalry, even officers with internal energy separated from their bodies acting as scouts could only see a tiny bit of information from afar.

Before this battle, Joan of Arc had already sent people to confirm that Bai Qi's army was still in the rear and, based on their speed of advance, it was impossible for them to reach the battlefield within a day.

This also gave Joan of Arc an opportunity to train her troops once again before the decisive battle.

With all these factors combined, Joan of Arc's final tactical arrangement was to suppress Lu Xun's army from both flanks, prevent them from deploying, then use cannon fodder and core troops to engage in a head-on confrontation, and finally use a mass resurrection to retreat safely.

The war reached a fever pitch from the very beginning, with both sides possessing their own will and neither choosing to back down.

Both sides' infantry charged forward in formation, while archers began to draw their bows and fire arrows.

With a thunderous roar, thousands of specially made heavy arrows, each over a meter long, were launched from the longbows of the Changshui Camp archers. They swept across the French flank, wiping out a large section of the French cannon fodder in a swift and devastating attack.

"Counterattack!"

At the same moment, the officers and soldiers of the French army roared and ordered their soldiers to beat the drums, and the French archers drew their bows in unison under the command.

The next instant, a rain of arrows, like a locust plague, swept over them. The elite swordsmen and shieldmen of Danyang, as if they had trained countless times, suddenly tilted their large shields at a sixty-degree angle and raised them.

A series of crackling sounds followed, but apart from a few powerful arrows piercing the shields and a few unlucky ones being hit directly, most of the soldiers were unharmed.

After the dense rain of arrows was blocked, the infantry on the edge roared and charged straight ahead. The archers behind them began to fire at a 45-degree angle as soon as the large shields were moved aside, using a volley technique to suppress the archers on the other side and allow their comrades in front to charge.

"General Guan, please slay the enemy general!" Lu Xun gave Guan Yu the order to charge and kill the enemy general.

Guan Yu's position was on the flank of the army. The front was the stage for the infantry, while the cavalry could play a greater role on the flank.

"Here!" Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade upside down in his hand, beginning to gather his momentum.

Although his command ability may be superior to Lu Xun's, he was still among the top-tier generals.

Moreover, the new recruits in the legion behind him need experience, and his personal leadership of the charge will make it easier for them to understand what it means to cut down everything.

"Beat the drums! Order the cavalry in the center to break through from the rear, and order the cavalry on both flanks to begin the counter-encirclement. This time, annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Lu Xun took a deep breath and looked at Chen Gong and Guo Jia beside him.

"I'm leaving the maintenance of the Ultimate Mystic Realm to you two!"

"Don't worry!" Chen Gong's eyes gleamed with wisdom. He had been accumulating spiritual power since he arrived here, and now was the time to unleash his full potential.

Compared to the Xuanxiang experts Lu Xun met, Chen Gong's ultimate Xuanxiang formation would only be more ruthless.

Although Guo Jia has been somewhat spoiled, he can still easily assist others using his mental power.

Lu Xun nodded and immediately issued a new order. The additional effects of the Ultimate Profound Realm had not yet been applied, but now every bit of power represented a significant boost.

Commands were issued swiftly, and every step of the deployment was coordinated with the unfolding of the ultimate Xuanxiang. Each time, space was successfully created for the army that was about to attack, and the originally blocky square formation gradually scattered under these circumstances.

Jeanne d'Arc originally intended to suppress Lu Xun and prevent Xinghan's military forces from unfolding, but Lu Xun's move was a clear indication that he was going to forcefully unfold his forces.

If someone were looking down from the sky at this moment, they would clearly see that the originally independent square formations are slowly spreading out like scattered flowers, revealing a magnificent sense of regularity amidst the chaos.

Lu Xun issued orders step by step. At this moment, he was fully engaged in this great battle. Orders were quickly and orderly passed down through drumbeats, flag signals, commands, and messengers.

"Hmph, if you want to expand your military force, you'll have to see if I agree!" Joan of Arc sneered, unaware that she seemed to be becoming more and more human.

Previously, the reason why she regarded herself as a god and displayed her divinity was mainly because she looked down on people. However, with the real threat brought by Xinghan, Goddess Joan of Arc placed Bai Qi, Lü Bu and others on the same level as herself.

Therefore, Joan of Arc became more and more human, as if she had stepped down from the altar to the human world.

Lu Xun's army's advance was quickly halted by Joan of Arc's command, as the French paladins seized the crucial nodes necessary for the formation's deployment.

"Slash!" Just as the two armies were locked in a stalemate, a powerful pressure suddenly appeared from all directions, followed by a huge burst of azure light from the flank.

The blade light, as thick as a mountain peak, not only unleashed a terrifying aura but also pierced a hole in the clouds above.

"Guan Yu... he really is someone to be wary of!" Lu Bu's lips twitched. After Guan Yu obtained the Dharma Form, he became so strong that it was almost heaven-defying, and even he had to be extremely wary of him.

He was confident that he could withstand Guan Yu's fatal blow and then whip Guan Yu around like a top.

But now, he really has no confidence. He has at most a 30% chance of surviving, while the remaining 70% is uncertain of his fate.

This probability might be quite normal for others, but it's a bit unusual for him.

Guan Yu is different from others; his offensive power is already at its maximum. Now, with the foundation of his Dharma form, the power of his fatal strike is directly aimed at breaking limits, and even the clouds will be shaken by this exaggerated power.

Ganylon, facing Guan Yu head-on, was cut down from his horse without any resistance.

At that very moment, the Star River army's formation reached the basic standard for deployment, and Chen Gong and Guo Jia forcibly used their mental power to fix the Ultimate Profound Formation. The clouds above displayed countless intricate nested patterns, instantly revealing a clear difference between the entangled clouds of the two sides.

These differences directly translated into tangible benefits, which fell upon the soldiers of Xinghan.

Guan Yu rode past the paladin Ganyron, who had been cut in two.

"All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Guan Yu's voice was not impassioned, but it touched people's hearts.

The soldiers behind him were instantly ignited, roaring and charging after Guan Yu towards the enemy soldiers.

The effect of the Ultimate Mystic Elixir is simple: it forcefully increases all attributes of the Star River Army, which has already been enhanced to a certain level, by another ten percent.

This one percent boost can increase combat power by up to 50 percent, and sometimes being a little faster can be a matter of life and death.

Morale soared, and strength increased significantly, creating a stable positive cycle.

France's flank was thrown into chaos by Guan Yu's attack. Just as the Holy Knight Roland was about to lead his troops to intercept Guan Yu, he received a warning from Joan of Arc.

"Don't get close to that bearded man. Gather Ganilon's troops and launch a fierce attack on the lines behind him!"

For the first time, Joan of Arc's face showed a look of horror, and she ordered all the paladins not to confront Guan Yu head-on.

At the moment of Ganilon's death, part of its senses remained with Ganilon.

In that instant, both Ganilon and its senses were completely severed by Guan Yu's single strike.

Even when he planned to revive Ganyron ahead of schedule and restore the front lines, he was surprised to find...

Ganyron cannot be resurrected.

Guan Yu's strike not only severed Ganilon's life and death, but also his future and the possibility of resurrection.

This is something that Lu Bu had never done before.

Realizing that Guan Yu was indeed capable of killing her officers, Joan of Arc quickly issued an order to avoid battle.

Guan Yu's forces swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, nearly cutting off their flank.

However, Guan Yu's triumphant advance contrasted sharply with the other troops, while Guan Sheng and Wu Song, who followed behind Guan Yu, were suppressed by Roland and his paladins in a fierce attack.

Guan Yu's blade was indeed indestructible, but the blade itself was tightly restrained by the paladins commanded by Joan of Arc, preventing it from completely penetrating the heart of the enemy and piercing into Joan of Arc's headquarters.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy drumbeats began, followed by incredibly stirring military music that resounded across the battlefield.

As a support military spirit, Dijiang only went to the battlefield a handful of times, but the enhancement effect provided by their military spirit was even greater than that of the ultimate Xuanxiang.

This is because they can not only provide a boost to their own side, but also weaken the opponent's fighting spirit, attacking the opponent from a psychological level.

"No! I don't want to die!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! I'm going to kill you all!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Extreme emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness erupted among the French soldiers, causing many battle lines to collapse instantly. The soldiers on the Xinghan side seized the opportunity to rush forward and cut through the battle lines, expanding their existing advantage.

"No matter how many times I see it, I still think this ability is insane!"

The First Yellow Heaven Legion looked at the Dijiang Legion's actions with a somewhat unnatural expression.

They were able to replicate the capabilities of almost all the legions of the Star Han Empire, but the capabilities of the Dijiang Legion were among the few that they couldn't effectively utilize.

After all, the prerequisite for this legion is the use of musical instruments. Huang Tian can only play a drum at most. It would be better to just kill them than to make them play military music.

"Fire arrows!"

On the other side, Lu Xun issued a series of orders, and the Houyi Legion and the Peacock Legion launched long-range attacks almost simultaneously.

However, the two have completely different effects, with the peacock launching a long-range attack.

Thousands of spear-like arrows rained down on the French army, with a pitifully low hit rate. But the horrific deaths that followed made it less a long-range attack and more a blow to morale.

But Hou Yi's army was different. A single quiver of arrows missed its target, and the area covered was not as large as the peacock's range, but after the rain of arrows was scattered, the entire area was completely cleared.

Even if there were heavy infantrymen carrying shields, Hou Yi's legion, being a three-talented archer legion, could easily pierce them with a powerful strike.

The French front began to crumble, with leaks appearing in almost every direction.

Shen Zhende then realized that the soldiers under Lu Xun's command were completely different from those before.

This batch of soldiers were all elites, and the vast majority of them were even members of the Imperial Guard and the Three Talents.

The lines it constructed were indeed perfect, and there were no problems with its deployment.

But it has to face one problem: people die directly.

Changshui, Houyi, and Kongque, three terrifying ranged legions, are destroying the battle lines in an extremely violent manner.

A critical command point can be destroyed with just one volley of arrows.

France simply doesn't have any ranged legions capable of countering them.

The only archer legion of the Imperial Guard level was sent to its death by the full force of the Archery Camp after firing only the first volley of arrows.

The disparity in long-range firepower caused the French casualty rate to rise at an almost rocket-like speed.

Especially when facing Taishi Ci, Changshui and Kongque launched a wave of attacks that crippled the enemy's forces, and Taishi Ci led his legion to charge in and begin reaping the rewards.

Although not as efficient as the White Horse Cavalry, it is definitely among the top three most efficient cavalry in the entire cavalry force.

As soon as the enemy formation breaks down, Taishi Ci leads his troops up, and the vacuum guns fire like machine guns, relentlessly reaping kills with terrifying speed.

In just fifteen minutes, they wiped out thousands of people, creating a massive crater in the battle line. (End of Chapter)
