Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1117 The Strength of the Heavenly Court
The Nine Heavens Child Killer General was not taken directly back to Luoyang.
Mu Yi, together with Sima Yi, set up a sealed-off military formation barrier in Yanjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty.
"Now I can rest assured!" Jia Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was the one who strongly advocated for placing the interrogation process in the world.
He felt that something was off about the Heavenly Court's actions this time.
Although there was no evidence, Jia Xu did not want to invite trouble, so he considered the worst-case scenario.
"So you are the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General?"
Only Mu Yi and Jia Xu were present at the interrogation, and there were many things that were not suitable for too many people to know.
"It's no use, I won't tell you anything!"
The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General sat cross-legged on the ground, his body covered in shackles. All the power within him had been forcibly suppressed by the divine will of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and others, making him not much stronger than an ordinary person.
"We don't intend to ask you either!" Jia Xu's expression remained unchanged, his spiritual power surged, and the power of the military formation spread out directly, pouring the will of nearly 100,000 soldiers into the mind of the Nine Heavens Killing Child General.
"what!!!!"
The massive amount of spiritual energy was like a heavy hammer, directly causing the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's eyes to turn white and almost completely lose consciousness.
Mu Yi used the will of the empire to distort reality, forcibly manipulating the Nine Heavens Child Killer General to answer questions.
If the other party were in a conscious state, they might not be so easy to control, but in this almost helpless state, the immense imperial will can distort reality and directly manipulate the other party.
What is your mission this time?
"Search for clues about the Awakening Hymn and confirm the other party's identity," General Nine Heavens Killing Child said, enunciating each word clearly.
There was a vague sense of struggle, yet I was ultimately unable to resist the immense power that distorted reality.
"Who is the leader of the Heavenly Court?"
"The Heavenly Emperor Taiyi, the Great Emperor of the Central Purple Palace and the North Pole, the Great Emperor of the Gouchen Upper Palace, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Buddha Tathagata..."
The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General rattled off a long list of names, all of whom were well-known mythological figures.
What is their strength?
"In the Heavenly Court's homeland, it is a completely indestructible Golden Core, but after leaving the Heavenly Court world, it is only at the level of the Third Realm Breakthrough after overcoming the Heart Tribulation!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu nodded to himself, as this was similar to the information they had obtained from the Tang Dynasty.
While high-end combat power is indeed formidable, it is still within their capabilities to handle.
This confirms that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' "Severing Heaven and Earth Connection" indeed directly locked the upper limit.
The Undying Golden Elixir requires special power to achieve, so the complete Holy Song is utter nonsense.
However... once the power of an individual reaches its limit, influence becomes the standard for measuring strength.
Jia Xu thought for a moment, then pressed for more information.
How vast is the Heavenly Court's sphere of influence?
"The Heavenly Court merged the thirteen great worlds into the Three Realms, along with nearly three thousand lesser worlds."
Upon hearing this news, both Mu Yi and Jia Xu were somewhat puzzled.
Although the idea of merging worlds is surprising, it is unexpected that the Heavenly Court only has thirteen Great Thousand Worlds. If we were to make a comparison, it would even be slightly inferior to the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
However, the combined value of thirteen worlds is certainly greater than their loose connection through a spatial gate.
The merging of smaller worlds like the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Nordic Realm alone has significantly increased the spiritual energy of the main world. If the thirteen great worlds were to merge together, the effect would likely be even more astonishing.
That's probably why so many immortal golden cores can exist.
Fortunately, they couldn't leave the Heavenly Court's homeland; otherwise, many empires, including the Tang Dynasty, would probably have been completely wiped out.
It was clear from the previous collaboration between the Mongol Yuan and the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the Zerg calamity that the combined forces of the three could at most deal with one or two powerful cultivators at the Undying Golden Core stage.
"This is tricky!"
Jia Xu then asked about issues such as the distribution of power, his brows furrowing throughout.
Based on the available information, he could deduce that the Heavenly Court was currently just a loose military alliance.
However, each of these forces is almost comprehensively stronger than the Qing Court and Xing Han, and their leaders are all at the level of the Immortal Golden Core stage. When they unite, their power becomes completely unpredictable.
"We can't defeat them..."
Mu Yi and Jia Xu looked at the information they had compiled; it was yet another enormous power that inspired awe and respect.
However, with the Tang Dynasty blocking their way, it's estimated that their reach won't be able to extend to this side for the time being.
The only problem is that the Heavenly Court has begun to take notice of their existence.
Although the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General did not receive any related missions this time, Jia Xu speculated that the Heavenly Court must also want to take this opportunity to test the waters.
We had made some discoveries during the previous naval battles, but we only classified them as vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.
This time, the news that the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General had sent back to the Heavenly Court meant that they would soon appear on the Heavenly Court's desk as allies of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, after the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General completely lost contact, the Heavenly Court held a meeting.
The content of the meeting is unknown, but it is known that the Heavenly Court has also begun intensive mobilization.
As the dominant party, they never need to consider defense; they only need to decide how to attack.
Xinghan was completely unaware of this.
After the interrogation, the research institute used the knowledge in the mind of the Nine Heavens Child Killer General to directly refine the fragment of the sacred song of the Nine Heavens Child Killer General into a magic weapon.
Compared to the spears, swords, and shields seized from the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General, the divine weapons forged by the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General are far more astonishing.
"Your Majesty, this is a magical artifact that the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General finally refined! Please take a look!"
Jia Xu handed a large umbrella to Mu Yi, who grasped its usage in a short time.
"Thirty-six Heavenly Soldiers' Umbrellas!"
Mu Yi opened the umbrella, and hundreds of heavenly soldiers poured out from under it, continuously forming ranks under Mu Yi's control.
In the end, a total of 3,600 celestial soldiers emerged, and each of them was no weaker than the current regular soldiers of the Star Han Army.
Aside from lacking a corresponding elite talent, its basic attributes are comparable to those of a three-talented individual.
"Great, a good product!"
Mu Yi's face showed a hint of surprise. As expected of a magical artifact forged from fragments of a sacred song.
This is equivalent to having an extra blank three-talented character with you, which allows for a lot more operations in terms of command and control.
"The researchers modified the quality of the Heavenly Soldiers, sacrificing some of their numbers, so that they can be used directly on the battlefield."
Jia Xu briefly reported that the original combination of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's abilities and magical treasures was more geared towards combat.
They are the type that overwhelm opponents with sheer numbers; in reality, they are not strong in one-on-one combat, and might even be considered somewhat weak.
It was precisely because of this that the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General was captured alive by Guan Yu and others using a pirated version of the Dharma Image.
The magical artifacts forged after sacrificing the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying Generals are now more suited to large-scale military battles than to individual combat.
"Is there no way to increase this number further?"
Mu Yi manipulated the 3,600 heavenly soldiers into various military formations with the ease of flowing mercury.
Although it was very enjoyable, the quantity was simply too small.
Although they can be resurrected after death, the combat power that can be deployed at the same time is too weak.
"Your Majesty, according to current calculations, simply by continuously adding Sacred Song Fragments, we can increase the number of celestial soldiers summoned," Huang Tianji reported, relaying the data.
"It is estimated that each standard hymn fragment will increase the number of heavenly soldiers by 3,600."
"Based on the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General himself, the divine artifact he possesses accounts for at most one-sixth of the value of his own Holy Song fragments, which is equivalent to six hundred heavenly soldiers."
"Those three divine artifacts are currently under research. Once the research is complete, they will all be put into use to verify their effects."
Mu Yi had no objection to this arrangement.
"Which unit is still fighting now?"
"Han Shizhong, a general under Yue Fei, the King of Song, is attacking countries in Western Europe. Two large kingdoms are resisting him, and Attila, one of the four finalists of the Young Unicorn Cup, is also participating in the war!"
"Young Jiang Wei is attacking a small world!"
"Ardashir is wiping out the remnants of the Qing army!"
……
Huang Tianji recounted the intelligence in detail, as if it were a treasure trove of knowledge.
"Give this to Attila and let him test its effectiveness on the battlefield."
After looking around, Mu Yi finally chose Attila.
The Xiongnu are gone. There is no more Hunnic Attila, only the Milky Way.
As a leader of the younger generation, he is capable of taking on the task of testing the artifact.
When Attila obtained the Thirty-Six Heavenly Soldiers Umbrella, he was attacking a fortress. The terrain, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, made Attila very uncomfortable.
A direct assault would result in too many casualties, and siege equipment could not be deployed on a large scale, so they could only rely on the few siege machines they had to bombard the city.
But after three days, the results were minimal, and it even drew ridicule from the soldiers inside the fortress.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Attila felt a headache coming on.
There is only one narrow passage in front of the checkpoint built against the mountain.
In this terrain, they have no tricks up their sleeves.
The only option is the most primitive method: a brute-force attack using ladders.
However, when several waves of infantrymen carrying shields and ladders approached the mountain path, they were driven back directly.
Several groups of people stood guard at the entrance to the checkpoint, clad in heavy plate armor, wearing strangely shaped cross helmets, and wielding two-handed greatswords, making it impossible to breach their defenses.
"Give me this at a time like this..."
Attila looked at the large umbrella in his hand, and with a final grit of his teeth, he opened it wide.
Three thousand six hundred heavenly soldiers appeared immediately.
Attila's eyes widened, and he quickly realized that this was an opportunity, a chance for him to capture the fortress.
"Kill them all!"
At Attila's command, 3,600 heavenly soldiers charged forward.
The heavenly soldier had just stepped onto the stone steps when he was struck by a two-handed greatsword coming straight at him, and died instantly.
That terrifying power, combined with the heavy weight of the two-handed greatsword, meant that even the Emperor's guards might not be able to withstand its overwhelming force.
But as soon as the heavenly soldiers in front died, the heavenly soldiers behind immediately took their place and rushed towards the enemy.
Their fearless fighting style greatly surprised the soldiers defending the city.
However, the advantage of numbers cannot be utilized at all in this narrow passage where only a few people can stand side by side.
The championship-winning Cavaliers are like steel bolts.
He swung his sword and slashed down!
The person collapsed!
Go again!
Pour it again.
The process repeated itself for a full hour, and not a single heavenly soldier was able to cross the defensive line.
However, the champion knights, who were as solid as an impregnable wall, had already exhausted a lot of their strength, and many champion knights were dragged down the mountain by the heavenly soldiers.
Even if he wasn't killed by the fall, he was killed by soldiers who arrived later.
Even though their numerical values were comparable to those of internal energy leaving the body, they were helpless against a large army attacking them.
A total of 120 champion riders completely blocked the mountain road.
They truly embodied the principle of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through."
The sound of Xinghan's war drums paused briefly.
"Hahaha, we won!"
On the mountain path, the champion knights cheered as they once again repelled Attila's attack, increasing their chances of victory.
Reinforcements are on their way. As long as they can hold on, it will all be worth it.
"Waaaaah~"
The long, drawn-out bugle call sounded, and the war drums began to beat once more, this time with a heavier rhythm.
A large number of heavenly soldiers once again rushed up the stone steps.
"Get the spearmen and axe throwers ready, and hurl them at them!"
"Archers, launch a volley of suppressive fire!"
The bowstrings twanged, and a dense rain of arrows covered the mountain path.
But when these arrows landed on the champion knight's plate armor, they only sent up a string of sparks.
Not a single champion knight fell to the hail of arrows.
Arrows were completely ineffective.
Just as the morale of the Song army was low, three thousand six hundred heavenly soldiers once again marched up the stone steps in a grand procession.
"kill!"
Hundreds of champion knights roared as they charged towards the heavenly soldiers.
This time, under Attila's command, the heavenly soldiers completely abandoned fancy tricks and aimed to take the champion knight down with them, with the goal of mutual destruction.
They were even willing to sacrifice ten heavenly soldiers to drag a champion knight down the mountain.
After the champion knights once again wiped out the heavenly soldiers, the throwing team, which was already prepared, immediately exerted all their strength to throw themselves at the champion knights.
The javelins, comparable to heavy weapons, caused considerable trouble for these tin cans. Their exhausted physical strength made them less composed in the face of such overwhelming attacks.
But the champion Cavaliers pulled through.
Their movements weren't fast, but their two-handed greatswords were wide enough to be used as shields, making them virtually invincible in such narrow terrain.
"Kill them all!"
Attila summoned once more, and three thousand six hundred heavenly soldiers surged towards the impenetrable wall of bronze like a flood against the current.
After the third wave of attack was thwarted, the champion knights had fewer than eighty men left.
But they remained steadfast at the city gate, even though they were completely exhausted.
But when the fourth wave of heavenly soldiers appeared before them, even these battle-hardened veterans felt a profound sense of powerlessness. (End of Chapter)
