Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Taishi Ci's powerful advance quickly broke through the French defenses.

Joan of Arc immediately mobilized a force of paladins to reinforce the defense.

The moment Taishi Ci broke through the battle line, both sides could see the legions behind the other. Compared with Taishi Ci's main force, the paladins' side was obviously a bit weaker in terms of momentum, but this was not a problem.

War is not about winning every single point; as long as you can hold out, that is also a means to victory.

As the two sides faced each other, Taishi Ci fully activated his legion talent, and all the buffs were in place. No matter how weak the enemy in front of him was, or even if the enemy in front of him was the Miracle Legion, Taishi Ci would not be afraid.

After approaching 500 paces, both sides increased their speed again, and it was clear that neither side intended to give way to the other.

Knowing that they could be resurrected, the Paladin Legion, though not as imposing as Taishi Ci's main force, still harbored the idea of ​​directly crushing Taishi Ci's main force.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were only three hundred paces apart. Taishi Ci took the lead and led his personal guards to consolidate their advantage, preparing to crush the enemy in one fell swoop. No matter what it was, they would fight head-on and they would never fail.

"Prepare for salvo firing of vacuum guns."

Taishi Ci issued his first order: since the enemy dared to come directly at them, they should not let them go back.

On the other side, the paladin legion also raised their javelins and crossbows, launching a ranged attack on the enemy before charging forward—a routine procedure.

At a hundred paces, both sides could see the weapons in each other's hands and the fierce yet fanatical expressions on each other's faces, yet neither was afraid.

In the blink of an eye, fifty paces had passed. Almost instantly, Taishi Ci's soldiers unleashed their vacuum guns at the enemy. Thousands of vacuum marks converged, and in the next instant, without even looking at the result, Taishi Ci's soldiers continued to thrust out their vacuum guns, relentlessly launching thrusts.

At the same time, the moment the soldiers of the Paladin Legion entered within fifty paces, everyone suddenly threw out the short spears with iron tips in their right hands, and without even looking at the results, they immediately switched to long spears and began to charge.

Both sides were incredibly skilled. The vacuum gun's barrage of attacks almost entirely covered the front of the Paladin Legion, the very position they were using to break through the enemy's main formation. Similarly, the javelins were aimed at Taishi Ci's main force.

There was a gap between the two sides, but they were not completely without the ability to resist. With the sacrifice of the soldiers at the front, the elite paladins seized the opportunity and delivered their fatal shot in an instant. However, at the moment of impact, the eyes of the elite paladins were filled with confusion.

The opponent fired only one shot, but it achieved the effect of both blocking and thrusting, directly withstanding the opponent's attack and forcibly killing the enemy in front of him.

It felt like a one-on-one fight, but the opponent had grown three heads and six arms, able to attack and defend simultaneously, and each attack was incredibly powerful.

As Taishi Ci led his personal guards into the elite army of paladins, shattering their formation as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, his own troops behind him charged in without hesitation through the gaps in the enemy's defenses.

Several vacuum guns merged together, piercing through everything in their path, including men and horses. Taishi Ci's legion talent allowed them to fire multiple vacuum guns, and when combined, their penetrating power reached an almost abnormal level.

It even possesses such formidable penetrating power that it achieves the same effect as Zhang Xiu, capable of piercing through everything and directly attacking the opponent's will. Ordinary defenses simply cannot withstand such a near-fatal attack.

However, Taishi Ci's advance was quickly intercepted by Joan of Arc's men.

Taishi Ci looked at his opponent, who had neutralized his combo, with some surprise. The opponent looked young, but his strength was outstanding, and even Taishi Ci had to take him seriously.

"State your name, and no nameless bastard shall die by my sword!" Taishi Ci's face was full of confidence; he was certain that his opponent was no match for him.

"Then go die!" Favaria II, one of the twelve paladins and the heir to the title of Duke of Favaria, roared furiously.

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!"

Taishi Ci snorted coldly and ruthlessly slashed at Favalia II with his halberd.

With a loud "clang," Favalia II managed to deflect all the force, causing a noticeable tremor around the warhorse. Countless blades of grass and ashes were sent flying, and Favalia II's hands went numb.

Taishi Ci gave him the impression that he was not very powerful, but rather strange.

He had clearly parried the attack of the halberd, but it felt as if a second halberd had struck his weapon, causing him to involuntarily groan and suffer a silent loss.

A smug look flashed across Taishi Ci's face. After years of training, he had developed his legion talent to the extreme. His dual-force training was so refined that he could directly inject the second force into the opponent's body and detonate it.

Having suffered a loss in the first exchange, Favallia II directly used the Imperial Will left on him by Joan of Arc.

"My lord, grant me strength!"

Enraged, Favalia II unleashed a secret technique, pouring holy light directly into his heart. The blood pressure in his heart surged dramatically, and his blood and qi rose rapidly throughout his body. Some capillaries were even crushed by the immense pressure. With his arms now stronger, he pushed Taishi Ci back.

"Thump!" The powerful force caused the air to explode, and countless sparks burst forth the moment the halberd and the giant horse-slaying sword collided.

"Die!" Favalia II roared like a madman, unleashing boundless power from his giant sword as he relentlessly crushed Taishi Ci.

"A mere trick, watch me thwart it!"

After being suppressed for three moves, Taishi Ci immediately unleashed his full power, using double force to strike Favalia II three times in succession, directly reversing the situation.

Despite the damage to his internal organs, King Favalia II did not dodge or evade Taishi Ci's double-force combo. Instead, he swung his giant saber fiercely toward Taishi Ci's head, clearly intending to fight Taishi Ci to the death.

Taishi Ci switched from offense to defense. After all, Favallia II had a second life, but he did not. Favallia II was relying entirely on this to try and take Taishi Ci down with him.

The next instant, the two enemies whose weapons clashed suddenly displayed obvious internal energy radiance, and were then all shattered by the immense force of the other's weapons.

After Taishi Ci's halberd completely blocked Favalia II's attack, he unhesitatingly flicked his wrist to unleash a second, almost illusory, halberd.

After shattering Favallia II's internal energy defenses, the tip of the halberd struck Favallia II directly in the ribs.

At the same moment, the giant horse-slaying sword was also deflected by this attack. The fatal blow that was originally aimed at Taishi Ci's head was deflected to the ground after losing balance.

"Crack!" A crisp sound of bones breaking echoed from Favallia II's body.

Favallia II immediately created distance, ruthlessly extending his right hand and plunging it into his ribs, straightening the broken ribs. He then began to heal with holy light, and the wound in his ribs began to heal at an almost visibly rapid pace. Taishi Ci easily slaughtered all the paladins who rushed towards Favallia II, each strike taking down several of Favallia II's paladin guards simultaneously.

"It seems you can't kill me. Don't you intend to leave your name behind?" Taishi Ci said, shaking off the blood from the blade of his halberd and pointing it at Favalia II.

Favallia II's eyes were gloomy, but he was helpless. He couldn't beat Taishi Ci. After only a dozen or so moves, he could clearly feel the gap between the two.

Taishi Ci gave Favallia II no chance to catch his breath, and charged forward on horseback. The two exchanged more than ten blows in an instant.

Favallia II suffered severe internal injuries, but before the battle could be decided, Augil II, one of the Twelve Holy Knights, charged in.

Without any hint of disdain on his face, the moment he saw Taishi Ci, he immediately grabbed his spear and launched an attack on Taishi Ci.

After the two Twelve Holy Knights joined forces to desperately suppress Taishi Ci for more than ten moves, Taishi Ci unleashed all his inner energy, and his halberd transformed into three halberds with lightning speed, slashing down at Favalia II.

In just a moment, Favalia II was cut into several pieces. Ogier II, who had just arrived as reinforcements, changed his expression drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and rushed in another direction, leaving some of his main force to desperately hold off Taishi Ci.

"Chase after them!"

Taishi Ci roared and chased after Augir II. He never expected that the other party would be so shameless as to run away so decisively at the moment his comrade died.

The next instant, the archers of Hou Yi's army drew their bows and fired arrows. Tens of thousands of arrows rained down, and screams filled the air. Even though Joan of Arc had blessed the Imperial Will, giving all the cannon fodder a powerful regenerative ability to recover to their previous state, the situation was still dire.

But there was no good way to deal with this barrage of arrows.

"What kind of cutting-edge technology is this? How come it's so effective? I think the enemy's recovery ability is quite impressive!" Guo Jia asked curiously, looking at the battlefield.

"The Mohists' creations are arrows with a special temperature-controlled design. They explode upon impact, causing penetrating and high-temperature damage before exploding, guaranteeing the opponent's complete death!" Chen Gong said quietly, turning his head away.

"This was originally developed to deal with enemies like the Undying Guards, but the main reason is that the Houyi Legion itself is somewhat special!"

"Special? Military spirit?" Guo Jia stared at Hou Yi's army for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Huang Tianji tailored a military formation for Hou Yi's army, and had the Emperor extract a portion of the Sun God's essence to make military flags. It was originally just an experiment, but the results were surprisingly good." Chen Gong said with a sigh, truly showing that one person's plan is short-sighted, but the collective plan is long-sighted.

At the time, they didn't think it was anything special, but later they created something that was almost monstrous.

Simply put, Hou Yi's army gained the ability to shoot down the sun.

Their arrows contain the power of the sun, and this power is achieved simply by accumulating the sun's energy under its daily rays.

This idealistic approach allowed Hou Yi's Legion, a legion with only three talents and pure aptitude, to complete the Willpower component.

They are only one step away from joining the Miracle Legion.

However, the archer legion's ability to achieve miracles is currently an unexplored topic, and several military geniuses are also paying close attention to this matter.

Under these circumstances, Hou Yi's army might not be able to maintain its title as the strongest archer of the time, but it would at least be firmly among the top three.

The only drawback might be that it cannot stay in places that are constantly rainy and cannot receive direct sunlight for long periods of time.

But this is not a big problem for strategists. Even if they can't disperse the clouds and rain on a large scale, they can easily make a hole to let some sunlight in.

"They're probably nearing their limit!" Engineer Chen said, turning to Lu Xun.

"It's about time to tighten our defenses!"

"Contract the defenses?" Before Lu Xun could speak, Guo Jia jumped up and challenged him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shrinking the defensive line now is just letting the enemy retreat safely, isn't it?" Guo Jia retorted.

"Looks like your brain isn't completely rusty yet; you can still see how things are going!" Chen Gong glanced at Guo Jia. This bastard was definitely not a pushover; he could still be used if given a little stimulation.

"Don't worry, Lord Wu'an has already blocked their retreat. All we need to do now is hold them back!" Chen Gong waved his hand, revealing a strategic arrangement known only to him and Bai Qi.

"So that's how it is? I had a vague feeling about it before!" Lu Xun narrowed his eyes and began to shrink the battle lines as Chen Gong had said.

The main reason why Joan of Arc couldn't hold out was because their average strength was insufficient, which is why they were being suppressed by Lu Xun's side.

After all, if Joan of Arc herself didn't join the fray, no one could stop Guan Yu and Taishi Ci, nor could anyone withstand the long-range sniping of the Peacock and Houyi legions, not to mention the interference of the Dijiang legion and the suppression of the Ultimate Xuanxiangyang.

Although part of the reason is that Joan of Arc deliberately sent her soldiers to their deaths to forcefully improve the average strength of the army through the stimulation of life and death.

But the final result was that the French side suffered a series of defeats and could only rely on human lives to bridge the gap in hard power between the two sides.

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy's rear guard has begun a rapid movement!"

When Joan of Arc heard her subordinates' report, she didn't take it seriously, after all, Bai Qi was far away and wouldn't be able to get there in a short time.

Lu Xun began to proactively shrink his battle lines, giving the enemy an opportunity to severely damage him.

But Joan of Arc had not yet put her plan into action.

"Report! Your Majesty, a large number of enemy troops have appeared on our right rear!"

"Report, Your Majesty, a large number of enemy troops have appeared on our left rear!"
A series of urgent military reports struck Joan of Arc like a thunderbolt, instantly connecting everything together.

It was too arrogant, focusing primarily on Bai Qi's main force and completely ignoring the possibility that Bai Qi might abandon his main force and engage it in a premature decisive battle. (End of Chapter)
