Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Boss, are we just leaving like this?"

A soldier from the Yellow Heaven Legion scratched his head, asking in confusion.

According to Ma Er's past traditions, he would not rest until he had beaten these people for forty-nine days.

"There's no time. According to Luoyang's previous plan, they're supposed to set off in two weeks!" Ma Er waved his hand and explained.

When the army sets out, they are given ample time to reunite with their families, which is also a tradition of the Huangtian lineage.

Furthermore, Cú Chulainn and his men have already demonstrated their backbone, and in Ma Er's eyes, they are now qualified to take up the banner bestowed by the Emperor.

Of course, there's also the most important point.

"We've been away from Luoyang for seven days now. Don't you want to go back soon and pay your respects to the Emperor?"

The soldier who was asking the question twitched at the corner of his mouth; this was probably the most important reason.

Meanwhile, in Luoyang, Lü Meng was reporting to Zhuge Liang on the logistical supplies needed for the expedition.

"There's no problem with these supplies. I'll arrange for someone to transport them to you later!" Zhuge Liang glanced at them. Lu Meng had asked for quite a lot, but it was still within a manageable range, so it wasn't unexpected for him.

"The climate there is bad. Are you sure you don't need a batch of cotton-padded clothes?" Zhuge Liang looked at the list of supplies compiled by Lü Meng.

“No need, I plan to train a cold-resistant legion,” Lü Meng explained casually.

"White Calamity?" Zhuge Liang searched the elite talent pool and found that only this legion met Lü Meng's requirements.

"Are you serious? If this kind of army is countered, they'll probably lose miserably!" Zhuge Liang said with some concern.

The White Calamity is indeed very powerful, with explosive combat strength in winter. Any non-top-tier legion that encounters it is basically doomed. Fighting against this legion requires enduring the pain of a significant drop in temperature.

In icy and snowy environments, the power of the White Disaster will only be stronger.

Although in summer they are just low-level characters with two talents, or even blank slates, in winter, especially in extreme cold environments like the North and South Poles, their combat power immediately jumps to three talents, and they can even suppress most top-tier legions, making their strength extremely exaggerated.

His weakness is also obvious: against an opponent who can reverse the temperature, he will basically be beaten badly.

Lu Su once used his spiritual talent, along with the Xuanxiang, to easily defeat several White Disaster Legions head-on.

"I have my own plans!" Lü Meng said calmly in the face of Zhuge Liang's questioning.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, but did not say anything more.

Their initial investigation showed that the White Disaster was indeed very suitable for that world.

If the White Disaster can be effectively utilized during the heavy snowfall of winter, it can defeat the vast majority of opponents, and the training cost is low, making it an absolutely good move.

Even with its significant flaws, its advantages are also quite obvious, and it can achieve maximum effectiveness when used properly.

Zhuge Liang also guessed some of Lü Meng's little schemes.

The White Catastrophe Legion is indeed formidable. In the freezing winter, their combat power is extremely explosive. Many elite troops lose most of their fighting strength after a short period of combat with them. The physical loss and stiffness caused by the cold make this legion incredibly powerful in winter.

In addition, due to the drawbacks of ignoring their own talents, the legion can significantly reduce the surrounding temperature as the temperature drops, so that in winter, they can even use frost as armor. Furthermore, when the temperature drops to a certain level, weapons and equipment will become brittle, but frost will harden.

The most monstrous aspect of the White Catastrophe Legion is that when their own temperature drops to an extremely low level, the strength of their ice weapons far surpasses that of steel. In addition, the soldiers' stamina and endurance will rapidly deplete in the extremely low-temperature environment, resulting in the enemy being covered in debuffs when fighting this legion in winter, while the entire defense of one's own side is greatly enhanced.

When a normal army encounters this terrifying effect, they will lose their fighting ability due to the temperature in less than 15 minutes of combat. It is no joke that winter is invincible.

However, the biggest problem with this legion is that it is too restrictive.

While a single White Catastrophe Legion may be incredibly powerful, it cannot actually unleash its near-explosive combat power when there is no one to maintain its logistics, the enemy forces are holding their ground and waiting for reinforcements, and they do not engage in battle.

If the opposing side can reverse the temperature in a short period of time, the White Disaster's combat power will collapse directly, and it is quite normal for it to be taken down in one wave.

Lu Meng wasn't stupid; he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the White Calamity.

His choice was simply to move resources and concentrate them elsewhere.

That's why the White Disaster, a legion used as a temporary measure, is employed as a transitional measure.

"You also intend to try to create a miracle army?" After a moment of contemplation, Zhuge Liang had a pretty good idea of ​​what Lü Meng was thinking.

"Who wouldn't want the Miracle Legion!" Lu Meng didn't deny it; he did indeed have a plan to create the Miracle Legion, but that wasn't the whole story.

"Good luck!" Zhuge Liang didn't stop him; the birth of the Miracle Legion was illogical in itself.

Even Han Xin, Bai Qi, and others were unable to create such an army, and Zhuge Liang was stuck at the threshold of miracles, unable to grasp the key.

Lü Meng can be considered one of the commanders recognized by Xing Han to some extent.

It's not unreasonable for the other side to have such intentions; on the contrary, this might be a symbolic sign that Lü Meng is beginning to grow stronger.

For the Empire, both the Miracle Legion and the War God are worth trying and investing in.

Lü Meng was also qualified to be invested in.

Zhuge Liang quietly allocated an extra 10% of meat supplies to Lü Meng. He didn't know if it would create a miracle, but at least it would ensure that Lü Meng could train a powerful three-talent legion.

Upon seeing this, Lü Meng silently bowed to Zhuge Liang.

Involving 10% of the supplies for 200,000 troops is an astronomical figure.

He estimates that the success rate could increase by another three percentage points.

Whether it will actually succeed depends on luck.

Every commander of a large army is a complete gambler, and it is precisely this gambling nature that allows them to stand out from ordinary officers.

"I've given you all the supplies, so you should at least give me a hint: what kind of legion are you planning to build?"

Zhuge Liang pressed the signed supply list to his hand and looked at Lü Meng with a smile, asking him questions.

One man's plan is short-sighted, but two men's plans are long-sighted. Zhuge Liang felt that he still had some authority in the area of ​​troop training and might be able to help Lü Meng.

Lu Meng looked up at Zhuge Liang, hesitated for a moment, and then revealed his plan.

"I was inspired by Sun Tzu's training methods. The Qingyang soldiers used wood as their core, drawing in the spirit of wood to build up their vitality. I plan to use metal as their core, drawing in the metal to build up their strength and build up their elite troops."

After listening, Zhuge Liang fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

Ruishi's elimination was an inevitable trend.

The elite troops are a legion with high attack and high health, and they can't wear heavy armor, so their fighting style is similar to that of the swordsmen. At least the swordsmen have a psychological power to enhance their defense, so arrows shot by ordinary archers may not be able to penetrate their defenses.

But the elite warriors have absolutely no defense. Even a three-talent elite warrior can only survive by dodging, but a wide-area rain of arrows is a death sentence.

The Empire needs stability. The elite troops are walking too high a tightrope. They may be able to create miracles in some battles, but in most cases, they will only give away kills and at best be able to trade one kill for one kill with the enemy.

But Lü Meng's approach was a bit different.

He knew what Lü Meng meant by "drawing metal into the body." Aphrodite of Rome used the essence of heaven and earth to activate the metal skeleton in the body of a Roman veteran, making it active and enabling him to transform into a steel giant.

Lu Meng, on the other hand, used Sun Tzu's approach, drawing upon the power of sacred songs and myths to address the survival issues of elite soldiers within their own inherent qualities.

This doesn't affect the strength of the elite talent, and it can also enhance the survivability of the elite soldiers. Theoretically speaking, such a unit is indeed qualified to try and achieve miracles.

Whether it will succeed or not depends on luck and a suitable battlefield.

The birth of a miracle requires the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable.

Some members of the Miracle Legion, looking back on what happened, are now unable to describe their mindset at the time.

Zhuge Liang released his hand from the supply list.

"It is indeed a good plan. In a while, I will send you ten more truckloads of ore. I hope you can make good use of them."

"Thank you!" Lu Meng's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He had originally planned to go to another world to find a mineral vein before starting his training.

However, if Zhuge Liang could directly send him ten cartloads of ore, he could put the training plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although the main priority right now is conquest.

But he is not a single-threaded being; the earlier these plans are implemented, the higher the success rate will naturally be.

Although the main force has not yet set off, the vanguard legion has already arrived in the other world to set up outposts.

“Someone is spying on us!” Li Jue frowned, looking at the empty sky.

There was nothing there, but he immediately felt like he was being watched.

This feeling had lingered with them ever since they entered the other world.

"We can't lock on from the opposite direction. We're probably exposed now. Should we retreat?" Guo Si's expression was equally grave.

Exploring other worlds requires caution, as many have died from the loss of their inner energy while carelessly exploring them.

Within the empire, the level of Qi cultivation to the point of forming a powerful force is called the middle-level backbone, while the level of internal Qi leaving the body is called the national essence. The hurdle between the two has blocked countless people.

"Withdraw? We'll have no way to explain if we retreat now!" Li Jue grinned. If they retreat at the slightest risk, what kind of vanguard are they?

Lu Meng wanted a three-talent Xiliang Iron Cavalry unit. Hearing that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had taken their reserve troops to train, Li Jue and Guo Si decisively led the Flying Bear's reserve troops to join the operation.

Lu Meng had a lot of confidence in Li Jue and Guo Si. Although they weren't commanders of large armies, they were veterans of the battlefield, having fought since the founding of the empire.

Therefore, Lü Meng directly assigned the task of acting as the vanguard and clearing the way to the two men.

Retreating directly would indeed be the safest option, but they are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and retreating at the first sign of danger has never been their style.

"Report! A troop has been spotted approaching us at high speed from twenty miles away!" The long-range scout borrowed from the Shooting Sound Battalion reported loudly.

"The number of people is estimated to be over 12,000, a mixed legion, with about 3,000 cavalry. Preliminary assessment indicates that all of them are elite troops with dual talents."

"They came pretty fast!" Li Jue grinned maliciously. "Let's go see what exactly is spying on us!"

"Everyone mount up and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Li Jue mounted his warhorse and led nearly five thousand Xiliang cavalrymen to charge directly at the enemy forces.

They were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the enemy had somehow locked onto them. Given their mobility, they had no way to escape.

Then let's fight them head-on. As long as we defeat them, we won't be hunted down.

Because they are strong enough, as long as their judgment of the situation is correct, they can basically achieve quite good results with a single punch.

To put it bluntly, the Xiliang cavalry is inherently suited to reckless attacks, so they don't need overly detailed command; they can simply lead their army into battle.

They were quite surprised to see the large force of Xiliang cavalry charging towards them.

They were worried that Li Jue and his group would escape, but unexpectedly, the other party actually charged towards them.

"Fire!" Almost reflexively, the commander immediately ordered the army to begin suppressing the enemy with arrows.

"Swordsmen and shieldmen, advance!" While directing the archers to suppress the enemy, the commander began to order the army to change formation, with the swordsmen and shieldmen at the front advancing collectively.

The cavalry on both flanks also moved to encircle the center, like a wild goose surrounding the Xiliang iron cavalry.

"Charge!" Li Que activated his Legion talent and launched a frontal charge.

The moment the two sides made contact, the brilliance of the Legion's talent shone through the mixed forces, and began to completely disrupt the performance of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

When the Xiliang cavalry charged right up to the swordsmen and shieldmen, they made several mistakes in succession. On the battlefield, a mistake could mean certain death.

Fortunately, the Xiliang cavalry were tough and resilient, so even if they were cut down due to mistakes, they were generally not killed outright.

Having not died immediately, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers quickly adapted to this interference.

"Disgusting ability!" Li Que was a little annoyed, and the miraculous radiance rising from his body instantly canceled out the interference.

"Damn it!" Guo Si's face turned ashen as he watched a Xiliang cavalryman in front of him being pulled off his horse due to a mistake and nearly beaten to death by a flurry of punches.

Their performance was disrupted by the enemy. When using crossbows, they would sometimes accidentally shoot their comrades with shaky hands.

These intellectually disabled mistakes could never happen to them.

But their current performance shows no signs of rigorous training.

"Found him! It's that guy interfering! Kill him!" Li Jue and Guo Si simultaneously used their enhanced intuition to pinpoint the culprit.

"Alright, let's charge together!" Guo Si roared, joining Li Que in a charge towards the other side.

But the Xiliang cavalry were not the same as the elite infantry. They could withstand immense pressure and crush the battle lines, but expecting them to tear a gap with lightning speed was pure nonsense. (End of Chapter)
