Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1123 Uninvited Guest
After a 15-minute stalemate, the Xiliang cavalry decided to go all out.
They could sense that the totem warriors opposite them were getting stronger and stronger during close combat, although they didn't know the exact reason why.
But it's certain that the opponent will get stronger as the battle goes on. Rather than letting the opponent reach their limit and collapse, what the Xiliang Iron Cavalry wants to do is to directly crush the opponent.
"Slaughter them!"
The Xiliang cavalry on the outer perimeter naturally formed a small wedge formation, heading directly towards the Mongol totem warriors.
The Xiliang cavalry did not require much command, or rather, in small-scale battles, tactics were not very meaningful. On the other hand, the Xiliang cavalry did not really need such refined operations.
Just charge in! If you can hold them off, then those Xiliang cavalry deserve to die. If you can't, then you're all going to die today. There's no fancy stuff, just fight!
A dozen or so Xiliang cavalrymen formed a wedge formation, their speed suddenly increasing dramatically. They used gravity manipulation to weaken the ground beneath their feet, enhancing the force of their charge, and crashed into the totem warriors like thunderbolts.
The rampaging Xiliang cavalry unleashed a momentum like a heavy hammer, striking the totem warriors and slowing down the movements of many of them.
With their spirits and fighting will at their peak, the charge was a desperate gamble. Their combat power quickly broke through the limits of their talents, and they launched an assault on the summit.
The totem warriors dispersed into smaller groups, causing the Xiliang cavalry's aggressive attack to miss its target entirely.
The Xiliang cavalry were extremely angry. After rescuing the surrounded Xiliang cavalry, they formed a sharp wedge formation and chased after the scattered totem warriors.
The scene suddenly became extremely comical, with the totem warriors scattering and fleeing, and each wave of Xiliang cavalry charge only managing to take away two or three men.
After several waves of charges, the morale of the entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry began to decline. Even they, with their excellent training, could not sustain a full-force charge continuously.
The totem warriors seized the opportunity, regrouped, and attacked the Xiliang cavalry from all directions.
Many Xiliang cavalrymen were instantly knocked to the ground, and the totem tattoos on the totem warriors were now shining brightly, radiating a captivating brilliance.
The iron claw pierced through the armor of the Xiliang cavalry and plunged straight into the abdomen of a Xiliang cavalryman. Just as the Xiliang cavalryman raised his broadsword to slash, the totem warrior gracefully retreated to a position outside the attack range.
This skillful pulling caused a lot of trouble for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers; almost everyone was injured, but not a single Xiliang Iron Cavalryman died as a result.
But everyone knew that the totem warriors had grown strong enough to injure the Xiliang cavalry, which made the battle dangerous.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were exhausted and their horses were worn out. To think that they could defeat the ever-growing totem warriors in this chaotic world seemed like a pipe dream.
"We're going to lose!" Gao Shun sighed.
The Xiliang cavalry was essentially countered by the enemy. Furthermore, the Xiliang cavalry was actually better suited for large-scale battlefields, and its disadvantages were too great in this kind of war that was almost a one-on-one duel.
In comparison, a more specialized legion like the Elite is more suitable.
The Xiliang cavalry performed exceptionally well, easily qualifying as above average.
However, their performance on the field was not satisfactory.
"It's not that simple!" Li Jue's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
The Xiliang cavalry did indeed fall into a disadvantageous position, but the effect of the totem warriors forcibly increasing their strength would eventually reach its limit, causing the totem warriors to collapse.
Now, the Xiliang cavalry only has one way left to win.
That means holding on until the totem warriors collapse on their own.
In fact, it was proven that the Xiliang cavalry shared a common mindset. When they realized that a collective charge could not defeat the enemy, but instead dragged them into a quagmire, they realized that the Xiliang cavalry had no chance of winning.
As if hearing Li Jue's voice, they made the exact same decision.
"Discard the horses, form a circular formation, and tighten the defenses!"
With a roar from the centurion, all the Xiliang cavalry abandoned their horses and formed a circle, tightening their grip on each other.
The Xiliang cavalry's immediate dismounting surprised the Mongol totem warriors.
Although they were well-traveled and knowledgeable, this was the first time they had ever seen mounted infantry like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Despite being cavalry, they abandoned their horses and relied on them to consolidate their defense and launch a thorough defensive counterattack.
However, the totem warriors were indeed in a difficult position. Their totems were actually very similar to those of the Dragon Wolf Guards, but they had gone further in terms of fusion.
Instead of summoning totems, the focus is on empowerment. The inner energy of the beasts sealed within the totems is transferred to the totem warriors through the tattoos. However, because the empowerment is so powerful, the pressure and backlash are also becoming increasingly severe.
Totem warriors are almost incapable of fighting for extended periods. The longer the battle lasts, the greater the pressure they endure. In the end, even minor injuries can cause their bodies to become instantly unbalanced, leading to paralysis or death.
The battle between the two sides immediately turned into a race against time, or rather, a clash between shield and spear.
Both sides have a clear objective.
The totem warriors must use the most violent attacks to break through the shell of the Xiliang cavalry, while the Xiliang cavalry must withstand the shell and drag the totem warriors to their collapse.
The totem warrior charged at the Xiliang cavalry like a ghost, but before he could even swing his claws, he was sent flying by a tremendous force.
The centurion of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry raised his hand with a cold smile. Although it only had the effect of 60% gravity control, when the defense was contracted, the combined strength of everyone made it easy to send someone flying.
The battle on the field inexplicably became comical. The totem warriors desperately tried to rush to the side of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to launch an attack, while the Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely avoided the battle. As soon as a totem warrior rushed in front of them, they would immediately use gravity manipulation to knock the person away.
This unusual battle scene left the spectators looking at each other in bewilderment. What should have been a battle of a hundred people had turned into a war of attrition, a contest of who would give up first.
The whole process lasted about fifteen minutes.
The gravity manipulation of the Xiliang cavalry was finally broken by the totem warriors.
This kind of power consumption is huge. Even though the Xiliang Iron Cavalry adopted the method of shrinking the defensive circle to reduce the contact area, the continuous attacks still caused the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to lose the ability to continue to control gravity.
The totem warriors are becoming increasingly powerful. With each charge, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's strength is drained. At this point, they are almost completely unable to unleash the full power of their gravity manipulation.
As a result, the totem warriors were able to withstand the force of gravity and squeeze to the outside of the circular formation, forcibly tearing open a gap with their claws to attack the Xiliang cavalry inside.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry were tough and thick-skinned, and this attack, which had been weakened to an unknown extent, sometimes couldn't even leave a noticeable mark on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers.
"We lost!" Li Jue sighed deeply at this moment.
Those who are familiar with their own situation know that at this point, the Xiliang cavalry is truly exhausted and on its last legs.
On the other hand, the totem warriors still haven't reached their limit, let alone collapsed from the strain.
"We surrender!" Zhuge Liang also saw the problem, so he waved his feather fan and took the initiative to surrender.
Since the outcome was already decided, Zhuge Liang did not continue to send his soldiers to their deaths.
On the contrary, these veterans are extremely valuable veterans, and we will save as many as we can.
If Zhuge Liang were to choose, the value of these one hundred veterans would even lie in the two small worlds that served as the stakes.
"You flatter me!" He Nian Chongshan said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand. Since it was a contest, there were winners and losers. He wouldn't lose his composure over the outcome of two small worlds. "Two wins and two losses, that's quite reasonable!"
The result of two wins and two losses led to Xinghan losing a small world, which was not a pleasant outcome for Zhuge Liang.
However, this was only the beginning; the competition lasted for seven rounds.
The real challenge is yet to come.
The further one goes, the more a nation's foundation is tested.
Although there are no rules, basically any legion that has appeared in the game will be immediately analyzed and dissected by other forces, and they will be completely dissected in less than a round.
It allows for targeted troop deployment and exerts a restraining effect.
The previous legions have been analyzed to a great extent, and Zhuge Liang has already passed on the targeted legion talent combinations to the personal guard through Wei Yan.
The more they see, the more Xinghan can absorb, so Xinghan isn't in a hurry at all.
They had already discussed it on the small world side.
Since the small worlds are connected by spatial gates, there is no such thing as geographical contact, so even if some are lost, it won't have any impact.
Ultimately, they are still no match for the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties; they can only drag one empire down with them, so they sometimes have to make concessions.
But through this bet, Xinghan should at least demonstrate its bottom line, not make unlimited concessions.
That's why Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu worked together to orchestrate this contest, all to find the right balance.
At the same time, it was also to drag the high-ranking officials of the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties into the fray, and see if they could obtain some intelligence from the opposing sides.
Sometimes, even a casual remark can contain quite useful information.
Because of Zhuge Liang's status, the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty had to send two equally matched figures.
"Match Six, Ming Dynasty vs. Mongol Yuan Dynasty, prepare to begin!"
Just as Liu Bowen was about to hand the note with the legion's name on it to Zhuge Liang, a general wearing a blood-red cloak and fully armed walked towards the stands.
"General! What brings you here?" Liu Bowen looked at the newcomer with astonishment. It was none other than General Lan Yu.
"I have the authority to handle all military movements at my own discretion!"
"Your reckless command has led to the deaths of our Ming soldiers; this crime is unforgivable!"
"Liu Bowen, go back and apologize to His Majesty!"
Lan Yu showed Liu Bowen no kindness whatsoever, directly stripping Liu Bowen of his power and ordering his personal guards to send Liu Bowen back.
"Have they become so incompatible?"
Zhuge Liang was secretly surprised. Lan Yu's almost public humiliation of Liu Bowen was a kind of suppression of status and power that should not have occurred between these two high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the two sides are not from the same faction, the fact that the conflict is so sharp suggests that there are quite a few problems within the Ming Dynasty.
The cost of losing the bet to the Mongol Yuan dynasty seemed to be greater than they had imagined.
This actually forced the Ming Dynasty to make the drastic move of changing generals on the eve of battle.
Although the Grand General's status was higher than Liu Bowen's and he was more suitable for commanding battles, it was still a change of generals on the eve of battle.
"General Lan Yu, the affairs of your Ming Dynasty are none of our business, but since you have sent Liu Bowen back!"
He Nianzhongshan deliberately emphasized the words "rush back," and a flash of anger crossed Liu Bowen's eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
He wasn't sure whether this was Lan Yu's own idea or the Hongwu Emperor's. He would find out once he returned to the Ming Dynasty.
"I, the Great General, will naturally take over everything here. What is there to fear from mere Mongol Tartars!"
"You all, get them!"
Lan Yu was clearly aware of the situation. With a wave of his hand, a hundred people immediately marched towards the arena from behind him.
He actually sent his personal guards directly into the arena.
Hen Jie Chongshan's expression was not good.
Lan Yu's personal guards are not a miracle, but they are definitely one of the top legions in the Ming Dynasty. Selecting one hundred of the best among them would definitely give them the ability to compete with miracles.
Even if you include all the three talents and military spirits of the three great empires, they are definitely among the top.
However, given the intelligence gap, they are not without ways to counter it.
Simulated battles against the top-tier legions of the Ming Dynasty are one of the important development topics for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
However, just as Henzhu Chongshan was about to give the order, another group of people walked towards the stands.
"General Lan Yu, why are you so angry!"
Upon seeing the visitor, He Nianzhongshan quickly stood up and bowed.
"Xue Chanhan!"
Zhuge Liang was shocked to discover that it was Kublai Khan, one of the supreme rulers of the Mongol Yuan Empire.
If Liu Bowen and He Jun were to be considered as the mediators, they could only be considered high-ranking officials or subjects in their respective empires, not true decision-makers.
Kublai Khan was one of the decision-makers of the Mongol Empire, and may even have been the third most powerful figure in the Mongol Empire.
In comparison, even Lan Yu's identity seems somewhat lacking.
The fact that both the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty changed their commanders at the same time made Zhuge Liang realize that a battle on one of the battlefields must have already been decided.
And most of the time it's a draw.
Otherwise, neither side would have attached such importance to this bet; it is clearly an extension of another battlefield.
For both empires, the person who came was of extremely high status.
Just like the gambling battles in these small worlds, Mu Yi cannot personally participate.
Because of his status.
If Mu Yi presides over the entire process, all three parties will have no way out, and no one knows how it will end up.
But now, in the sixth battle, both sides seem to have no way out. (End of Chapter)
