Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

The loss of mobility by the Xiliang cavalry made them the least mobile of all cavalry.

They are noble mounted infantrymen; for them, horses are merely ornaments used to enhance their combat prowess, providing them with additional attribute boosts.

However, they will also lose their mobility.

No matter how high-class a horse is, its mobility will drop significantly once it joins the Xiliang cavalry.

It's somewhat similar to a vow talent, which is one of the reasons why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is so powerful in frontal assaults.

All the Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers knew that their mobility was terrible, so they had no way to retreat. If they wanted to survive on the battlefield, they had to defeat the enemy. Only in this way could they avoid having to run away.

For the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, living towards death was like the underlying code.

At this very moment, Li Jue and Guo Si led the Xiliang cavalry in a frenzied breakthrough of the battle lines.

The combined legion's battle lines were breached layer by layer, yet they had no way to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The arrows that were meant to be suppressed landed on the Xiliang cavalry, but were deflected as if they had landed on a city wall.

The swordsmen and shieldmen who blocked the way could not withstand the charge of the Xiliang cavalry. Their ability to disrupt the Xiliang cavalry could cause them to make mistakes, but it could not stop their advance.

"What formidable opponents! Where did these guys even come from?" The commander of the mixed legion looked at the Xiliang cavalry charging towards him with unwavering determination, his face full of doubt.

"No matter what you are, since you are the enemy, then prepare to die!" the commander roared, and a radiant light rose from his body.

He did not fully activate his Legion talent, but only maintained its performance to a minimum.

His legion talent is quite unique; it not only consumes a lot of resources, but its effects are also adapted to. Therefore, he should never use his full strength at the beginning and should only use it when the opportunity is right.

While this playstyle might mean holding back your ultimate move, it's undeniable that when your team is weaker than your opponent, this powerful burst of energy could potentially overwhelm a stronger opponent.

The dazzling light that reached the heavens and the earth turned into countless specks of light that fell from the sky. On the spot, dozens of soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry stumbled and fell on their way to charge.

Various lapses in performance instantly disrupted the Xiliang cavalry's actions. Li Jue and Guo Si watched helplessly as their comrades fell to the ground one by one due to poor performance. This feeling of frustration fueled the raging anger in Li Jue's heart.

Unacceptable, unforgivable, how could the Xiliang cavalry be in such a sorry state?

"Unforgivable!"

Li Jue and Guo Si roared almost simultaneously, and a miraculous radiance burst forth from their bodies, combining and spreading into the air.

A crimson glow erupted directly from the top of their heads, and then, as if in response to Li Jue's roar, the glow representing the talent of Li Jue's army instantly combined with the power of miracles, blessing all the soldiers of Xiliang.

Deny all non-miraculous powers.

Even though it was only Li Jue and Guo Si, their miraculous achievements still shone on every soldier of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Although it couldn't completely negate the opponent's abilities like the real Miracle Legion, it did manage to block out that subtle interference.

The soldiers of the Xiliang cavalry no longer performed poorly.

"Charge with me!"

As if the negative status had been forcibly swept away, the affected soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly felt a sense of clarity, and then naturally followed Li Jue and Guo Si, charging towards their locked target.

"What kind of power is this?"

The commander's face turned ashen. His trump card, which he was so proud of, had only been effective for a few breaths before being dispelled by the opponent in an almost invincible manner.

"What exactly is going on with this legion?"

A host of questions lingered in the commander's mind. He had fought on the battlefield for many years, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a strange legion.

Not to mention their formidable defensive capabilities, the entire legion's morale and spirit are completely different from that of a normal legion, as if nothing can stop them.

"Continue the arrow barrage, prepare your javelins, and aim at the officer charging at the front!"

The commander cursed inwardly, then decisively ordered that no matter what the enemy was, they had to be eliminated.

A dense rain of arrows swept over the Xiliang cavalry, the sound of arrows crackling and popping as they struck the Xiliang cavalrymen.

"Charge! Crush them!"

Li Jue withstood the rain of arrows, cleaved the swordsman and shieldman in front of him to death with a single blow, took a javelin throw to his face, then drew his powerful crossbow and fired three consecutive bolts at the thrower behind him, pinning him to the ground.

Under the cover of the swordsmen and shieldmen, the spearmen formed a spear formation and charged forward with a forest of spears to attack the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, throwing hundreds of Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers off their horses.

Most other cavalrymen would have been doomed, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalrymen merely rolled on the ground, spat twice, picked up their weapons, and continued their attack.

"Order the left flank to clear, let the enemy enter the defensive line, and try to strangle them!" The commander solemnly directed, attempting to guide the Xiliang Iron Cavalry into the encirclement.

The Xiliang cavalry, utterly unafraid, stepped into the trap prepared by their commander, bracing themselves against attacks from all sides, and began to forcefully crush the battle line, advancing even faster than before.

"Damn it, what's wrong with these guys?"

The commander felt like he was going crazy. He had clearly separated Li Jue and Guo Si, who were the leaders, from their men, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the other side still showed strong pressure and did not lose the characteristic of being confused when led by their officers.

They kept a close eye on the direction of the commander and launched a full-scale attack.

"Prepare to retreat!"

When the commander realized that he couldn't drown the Xiliang cavalry no matter what he did, and that the enemy was getting closer and closer, he became a little restless.

After weighing the pros and cons, the commander decided to order a retreat.

They still have a mission to complete and absolutely cannot fight to the death with the other side here.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry's defensive capabilities were simply too strong. He clearly realized that without a legion capable of launching a strong offensive, it would be very difficult to kill the enemy.

The situation on the field was clear: although many of the Xiliang cavalrymen fell from their horses, very few actually died.

Seven or eight spears stabbed the opponent as if they were stabbing solid iron blocks; they could only knock him over but could not cause fatal injuries.

Faced with this unreasonable situation, the commander really didn't want to fight the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the death.

To put it bluntly, the Xiliang cavalry appeared out of nowhere, and even if they killed them, they wouldn't gain anything. In that case, they might as well retreat.

If the enemy manages to reach the center of the army, there will be no way to retreat.

The entire legion retreated as smoothly as mercury spilling across the ground, disappearing before the eyes of the Xiliang cavalry.

"Should we pursue them?" Guo Si turned to look at Li Jue.

"We didn't bring any reinforcements, we can't catch up!"

Li Jue shook his head. Just like the commander on the other side, Li Jue also had to consider the gains and losses. Pursuing without any benefit was meaningless.

They had only just arrived in this world, and their encounter with the other side was inevitable.

After all, if they don't force the other side to retreat, they'll be in danger.

Now that the goal of ensuring safety has been achieved, there is no need to pursue it any further.

“That feeling of being watched is gone!” Li Jue said, looking up at the sky. Guo Si scratched his head, seemingly lost in thought.

“I’ve heard Strategist Jia say that this seems to be a kind of internal protection mechanism of the world, which will disappear regardless of victory or defeat.”

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Jue glared at Guo Si immediately upon hearing this.

"I just remembered it!" Guo Si spread his hands, it was already quite good that he could remember it at all.

"Never mind that, let's clean up the battlefield, scouts spread out to reconnoiter, and find a place to set up an outpost camp!"

Li Jue took out the military order issued by Lü Meng, glanced at it, and then began to arrange the next steps of the plan.

They are the vanguard, and their greatest significance is to find a place for the main army behind them. Setting up a camp is only the first step. The real important thing is to find a city, establish a portal, and form a stable logistical supply chain.

The battle report from the Xiliang cavalry was immediately relayed to Lü Meng.

“The world’s unconscious counterattack…” Lu Meng’s finger tapped on the battle report.

"Is it an instinct of world consciousness, or is there something else behind it?"

After spending some time with Sun Tzu, Lü Meng also gained a profound understanding of the subtle relationship between the sacred song and the world.

Strictly speaking, every world is a manifestation of the corpse of a hymn; the only difference is how many hymn corpses manifest together in this world.

The more hymns that fall, the more prosperous the world becomes.

But the hymn is immortal and indestructible, and its influence permeates every world, whether living or dead.

Therefore, people from every world carry a trace of the sacred hymn, and when they enter other worlds, they are instinctively rejected.

A few isolated individuals entering will not be detected immediately.

But the large army is like a firefly in the dark, impossible to ignore.

Fortunately, these signs are usually temporary; after a while, they will be tainted by the corresponding world.

According to previous information and records from exploring the world, there should be no signs of being spied on as Li Jue described.

Both Li Jue and Guo Si are capable of achieving individual miracles, so their intuition and perception are no less than those of some realm-breaking powerhouses.

If they sensed being watched, then there must be some kind of entity observing them.

It's either the lingering regret of the hymn or some powerful imperial technology.

The opponents encountered by the Xiliang cavalry were basically representative of the average level in this world.

With a large number of soldiers with dual talents, the opponent won't be that weak.

Lu Meng did have some intelligence provided by Jia Xu, but it was all scattered and could only help him roughly understand the current state of the world.

To put it bluntly, it was plagued by war and chaos.

There are wars everywhere, and people are fighting for territory everywhere.

The mixed legion they encountered was ordered to go to a certain location to support the garrison.

"Interesting!" Lu Meng squinted and tapped his hand on the world map.

Based on the changes in the sundial and the sun's trajectory, the location of the Xiliang cavalry has been pinpointed.

In this world, the corresponding region is the Chu region.

"A troublesome place!"

The biggest problem in the eyes of the Chu people has always been the issue of wicked temples and licentious worship, which has been passed down since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

The speed at which things resurface after being dormant is all too common.

Li Jue and his group discovered several such places along their route.

This means that they may have to confront the mythological system of the Chu Kingdom again, especially given the suspected presence of lingering remnants of sacred songs.

What lies hidden beneath the surface of these Chu myths, only heaven knows.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Meng realized that the person most familiar with these matters was none other than Bai Qi.

As the big boss who personally killed the mythical Chu twice, Bai Qi has a wealth of experience in killing gods.

"Please enlighten me, Lord Wu'an!" Lü Meng found Bai Qi and respectfully requested his guidance, directly activating his spiritual talent.

"Gods of Chu!"

Bai Qi stroked his chin. He didn't really have any special techniques. He just locked onto the enemy with his will, then led his army to attack, and the enemy was instantly wiped out.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qi tossed his sword to Lü Meng.

"This thing has been contaminated with the blood of many mythical figures, and it has undergone a qualitative change. If you use this thing to guide the will of the army, it should be able to directly cause fundamental damage!"

Lu Meng drew his sword, and his powerful mental strength allowed him to instantly perceive the traces of will remaining within the sword.

Scenes of countless mythical figures dying in blood flashed through Lü Meng's mind. After a moment, everything returned to calm, but Lü Meng's scarlet eyes told the story of what he had seen.

"Your comprehension is really good!" Bai Qi was a little surprised. He originally intended to give Lü Meng a cheat code so that Lü Meng could easily cut down those strange things.

Unexpectedly, Lü Meng actually learned the essence of how to kill gods through swordsmanship.

"Interesting. One should look at a scholar with new eyes after three days of separation. I didn't expect you to have made such great progress!" Bai Qi had previously studied under Lü Meng.

However, Lü Meng's performance at the time was mediocre. In Bai Qi's eyes, he was merely a commander of a large army, with zero chance of becoming a god of war.

But now, upon seeing Lü Meng again, Bai Qi was surprised to discover that Lü Meng might actually be qualified to touch the God of War.

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. I have learned a lot from many teachers!" Lü Meng bowed slightly to Bai Qi in greeting.

"A gradual accumulation of knowledge and experience leading to a powerful breakthrough? That suits you perfectly!"

Bai Qi nodded. No wonder he could lead a regular army on a distant expedition. His calm and composed attitude alone was enough to make him capable of handling things independently.

“However, there is one thing I need to warn you about!” Bai Qi’s expression turned serious as he looked intently at Lü Meng.

"Please enlighten me!" Lu Meng also became serious. Something that Bai Qi took so seriously must be extraordinary.

"The root of Chu mythology lies in folk beliefs. If you want to solve the problem of Chu gods, you must start with evil temples and licentious worship; otherwise, you are only treating the symptoms, not the root cause!"

"The nobles of Chu are basically descendants of the Chu gods. If you want to completely eradicate the existence of those blood gods and evil gods, you should know what to do."

Lu Meng understood perfectly; there was only one answer.

That is killing.

This is also the optimal solution given by Bai Qi. (End of Chapter)
