Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang's personal guard was called the Emperor's Guard, which was a continuation of the usual name for guards. However, Zhuge Liang felt that this was not good, so he changed it to the Qimen Army.

The Qimen soldiers who took the stage this time were all veterans of Rome. This was partly because there weren't many strong veterans among the barbarians, as they had mostly been absorbed by the various Eagle Legions.

On the other hand, these Roman veterans were the cream of the crop in Rome. If they hadn't been injured, they wouldn't have survived to this day. After experiencing great ups and downs, they were carefully nurtured by Zhuge Liang, and almost all of them reached their absolute limit.

The legion sent by the Ming Dynasty was an ordinary-looking legion, with no outward signs of anything unusual, just like any other legion.

But everyone knows that's impossible.

Any legion that can step onto this gambling battlefield must be a top-tier legion, and a top-tier legion that is completely ordinary often represents a return to simplicity.

Zhuge Liang opened his mental talent and tried to analyze the talent framework, but found that this legion seemed to have no elite talent, and what appeared in his mental talent was a blank.

Zhuge Liang encountered this situation twice: once when facing Sima Yi, and once when facing Wei Yan.

But this is the first time we've encountered this situation with elite talents.

Zhuge Liang was immediately intrigued.

The Qimen Army naturally deployed their most frequently used elite talent combination: super-fast reaction and enhanced defense.

The former gives them the ability to quickly switch to targeted elite talents based on the enemy's abilities, while the latter maximizes their chances of survival and prepares for unexpected events.

But to everyone's surprise, their opponents made the exact same move.

"Copy? Imitate? Infinite variation?"

After a brief standoff, at the centurion's command, the Qimen Army switched their talent combinations, directly switching to the combination of charging and explosive power.

Even if their talents are similar, there is still a significant difference in their equipment.

"Boom!"

The short crossbow bolts swept across, instantly creating a deafening roar, like being hit by a rocket.

Such a massive bombing campaign was impossible to avoid.

When the smoke cleared, the Ming army stood unharmed in the middle, and each of them had an identical crossbow in their hand, which they then pulled the trigger.

The same crossbow bolts rained down on the Qimen Army. The centurion's pupils constricted slightly, and he immediately ordered his elite talent to be switched for protection.

Atmospheric deflection and spiral field easily steered these arrows off course, bombarding the ground with holes.

"What a strange legion!"

Many of the onlookers were completely bewildered and could not understand the intricacies of this Ming army. They could only judge from its performance that it was an army capable of replicating the abilities of its opponents.

Dealing with this kind of legion is both the most difficult and the easiest.

For this kind of copycat monster, you either need to use a deep understanding of talent to defeat the copycat, or you need to directly compete on basic qualities.

However, everyone present knew very well that what was being shown was definitely not the full picture of this legion.

The legion held immense mystery, and even the representatives of several miracle legions who came to observe the battle stared wide-eyed, trying to find any clues.

"Even without a powerful crossbow, it can be directly copied. Can a will-distorting reality really do something like this?"

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Gao Shun, then at Zhang Liao, and asked with considerable confusion.

Even he can't do that right now; he's better at destruction and is rather unfamiliar with these kinds of operations.

Not to mention that this happened to a group of soldiers who were not even close to miracles.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao both shook their heads. This was a bit beyond their comprehension. If they could understand the general idea, the miracle should be achievable through the power of the flying bricks.

But now, they are completely in the dark and can't figure out the trick at all.

"Throw spears!"

The centurions of the Qimen Army were also taken aback, but they quickly adjusted their strategy and began to snipe at mid-range with spears.

Since they assumed the other party would imitate their actions, they decided to do the opposite.

A direct and brute-force approach breaks the deadlock; no matter how much you imitate, numbers are still numbers.

A volley of spears rained down, but failed to cause any damage. Instead, the Ming army found themselves with some standard-issue spears.

"Something's not right. It's not imitation; it's more like..."

Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, vaguely guessing the true capabilities of the Ming army.

It's not about copying or imitating at all; it's the most bizarre kind of legion that touches not reality, but cause and effect.

Directly distorting reality is far too time-consuming and laborious, and its scope is too small, unlike now, where directly distorting cause and effect is much easier.

The Ming army exchanged the cause and effect between the two armies. No matter what kind of attack Xinghan makes, as long as there is a clear cause and effect relationship, the Ming army can directly intercept this cause and effect and place it on itself.

So no matter what tricks Xinghan uses, the first thing they have to face is themselves.

"Doing this will inevitably consume a lot of resources. We should exchange our elite talents and aptitude-based talents for close combat with them!"

"They must expend a lot of energy to unleash this kind of power, so don't give them a chance to catch their breath!"

After realizing that things were not simple, the centurion immediately chose the most ruthless fighting style.

I don't know what your specific elite talent is, so I'll just stop thinking about it and give you a burn directly.

Tell me what you have to say with my fist.

No matter what your talent combination is, I'll first cripple half of your arm, then drag you into close combat with me.

But the illusory flames vanished the moment they landed on the Ming army, and instead, the Ming army itself ignited illusory flames.

"Reversing cause and effect, what a brilliant tactic! It must have inherited the power of a fragment of a sacred hymn, manipulating cause and effect to forcibly transform the cause and effect of both sides into each other. No matter what elite talent we use, it will ultimately become something we use against each other!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and immediately waved his hand in surrender.

If he were to deal with this himself, there would be some room for maneuver. But expecting his centurions to crack it is simply wishful thinking.

The Qimen Army's actions were the cause, and the elite talents' effectiveness was the effect imposed on the Ming Army. The Ming Army, in turn, manipulated the cause and effect, and the cause and effect that should have fallen on them was directly grafted onto the Qimen Army itself.

It is no wonder that this legion was specially dispatched by the Ming Dynasty to reverse its decline; among the three legions, probably only a few can rival it.

This ability to manipulate the rules is a devastating blow to ordinary officers.

In this three-way battle, the stakes lie in the wisdom of the upper echelons, the special skills of the middle echelons, and the combat strength of the lower echelons. If any link in the chain goes wrong, the team could lose miserably.

Zhuge Liang had no psychological burden, so he directly conceded defeat in a bet that was almost impossible to win. The generals and officers of Xinghan all received Zhuge Liang's telepathic message and understood the cause and effect.

"Second Brother, are you confident you can defeat this one?" Zhang Fei scratched his head, seemingly unable to handle this monstrous army.

It has the ability to exchange cause and effect between the two parties, and it possesses a terrifying power.

According to Zhuge Liang's speculation, this legion even has the effect of sharing damage through a chain of iron chains.

Such a legion would be incredibly difficult to deal with on the battlefield.

"I will personally take action, and the swordsman can be slain!" Guan Yu nodded slowly. In the end, things like cause and effect and fate are still products of the distortion of reality by will. The more abilities one has, the more vulnerable one becomes.

The willpower to sever everything is simple and brutal, which makes it all the more pure. It doesn't have many fancy functions; it just cuts everything off directly.

The causal chain is something that can be severed easily.

"You flatter me!" Liu Bowen smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was not annoyed. He nodded, a smile appearing on his face as well.

Although they lost, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, who were mixed in with the main force, had already copied this legion, and Zhuge Liang had also analyzed it. After returning, they could use it as a basis to create a new legion.

This betting match allowed me to learn such advanced techniques, making the trip truly worthwhile.

It was these two defeats that pushed the Ming Dynasty to the brink of collapse; otherwise, they might not have openly deployed such a force.

"It's our turn to clash again!" He Nian Chongshan said with a smile. "Mr. Kongming, shall we raise the stakes?"

"Add a bet?" Zhuge Liang was naturally interested.

"How about doubling the value of the small world as the stake?" The conditions proposed by He Nian Chongshan were not complicated, and could be considered simple.

They completely ignored all the intrigue and began to gamble purely.

It's not a gamble based on luck, but on the real strength of both sides.

"Since Mr. Henjie Chongshan has such an elegant interest, we should certainly accompany him!" Zhuge Liang readily agreed.

The Ming Dynasty has already given them a huge surprise, and now they hope that the Mongol Yuan Dynasty can also come up with some innovative things so that they can learn from them.

He smiled and waved, placing a note on the table.

Zhuge Liang glanced back at Xinghan's generals and officers, and then pushed out the three-talented Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

No matter who the opponent is, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is capable of fighting.

In fact, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry might have performed even better than the Qimen Army in dealing with the Ming army just now.

"Mongol Yuan versus Starry Sky, begin!"

The two teams stepped onto the arena, and all eyes were on the team sent by the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

A group of people dressed in animal skins, covered in tattoos, and wearing demon masks, looked like a hideous monster.

"A totem warrior?" Liu Bowen looked at Hexie Chongshan with some surprise.

This is like pulling out all the hidden trump cards...

On the battlefields between the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties, these totem warriors were quite active and could definitely be considered a benchmark legion of the Mongol Yuan.

The deployment of such elite troops signifies the Mongol Yuan dynasty's determination to win this battle.

"Something's not right with this legion. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is likely to lose!" Gao Shun said, looking at the totem warriors with a grave tone.

"Gao Gongzheng, don't talk nonsense. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not that weak!" Li Jue approached with an arrogant gait, full of confidence in his Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"A three-talent legion using claw-like weapons, and you're still so optimistic? I have to admire you," Gao Shun said without turning his head.

On the battlefield, length is everything, and weapons like spears and lances are generally preferred.

Generally speaking, the shorter the weapon, the more dangerous it is.

After all, aside from those unlucky fools who don't know their own limitations, everyone who survives to the third day has some skills.

"Weapons are merely external possessions; what truly determines victory or defeat is people!" Li Jue's confident expression piqued the interest of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

The next instant, Zhang Liao suddenly realized something.

"You didn't strip Flying Bear's abilities from them, did you?"

Li Jue looked at Zhang Liao with some surprise, not expecting the other party to react so quickly.

But the next moment, Li Jue laughed. There was only one explanation for Zhang Liao's quick reaction: Zhang Liao himself had done it, or rather, wanted to do it.

"Zhang Wenyuan, you're not being honest either!"

"I only thought about it, I didn't do anything. The Military Soul Legion has a clear order against participating, you're courting death!" Zhang Liao rubbed his temples, this bastard actually did it.

This kind of gambling match between three parties could easily lead to serious problems.

"Don't worry, I've already consulted the Prime Minister!"

Li Jue waved his hand dismissively. Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then regretted it a little. He should have asked him too.

I overthink things and forget that it would be simpler to ask for instructions first.

"Without the support of military spirit, can gravity manipulation achieve even 50% of its effect?" Gao Shun asked with some curiosity.

"As a legion with a shared lineage, they can utilize about 60% of the skills through constant exposure. This is equivalent to having an additional elite talent. It might not be enough on the battlefield, but it's sufficient on this arena!"

Li Jue was full of confidence and certain of victory. In fact, there was something else he didn't say: he had specially changed the horses for the Xiliang cavalry.

These horses share a common characteristic: they possess exceptional talent, even dual talent. They were originally bred in the research institute, but Li Jue shamelessly borrowed them for actual combat.

The Xiliang cavalry on the field today are definitely the strongest 100 men under the Miracle, and some Miracle soldiers may not even be able to defeat them.

"Just you wait and see. As long as the opposing legion isn't like the one we just saw, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fears no one in a head-on confrontation!" Li Jue raised his head, his face full of confidence.

The Xiliang cavalry on the field did not disappoint Li Jue's trust.

One minute into the battle, the Xiliang cavalry, using their wedge formation and spears, sent the Mongol totem warriors flying all over the place.

Even if a few were knocked off their horses, they could still draw their melee weapons and fight back with wild punches, forming a defensive formation to withstand the totem warriors' wolf-like hunting attacks.

By the third minute, the battlefield had become a sandwich, with the outer layer of Xiliang cavalry surrounding the totem warriors, and the inner layer of totem warriors surrounding the Xiliang cavalry. The two sides were locked in a fierce and protracted battle. (End of Chapter)
