Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1184 Order
"The technical department has located the Xiliang cavalry and is ready to activate the reverse ritual at any time!" Lu Meng gave a clear instruction.
The situation on the scene was chaotic, but Lü Meng still firmly held onto the main force and prevented the chaos from spreading to the entire army.
"Spearmen and shieldmen advance, Danyang's elite troops organize a counterattack, and Changshui Battalion suppresses the enemy with a hail of arrows!"
"Can Huang Tian still spare a hand?" Lu Meng glanced at Ma Er and asked.
“We can use illusionary soldiers, keeping our physical bodies busy!” Ma Er estimated and gave a positive answer.
"Let the Illusion Warriors be at the forefront to buy time for our army to adjust its formation. Leave the rest to me!" Lu Meng decisively issued the order.
The Divine Guards, whose average level is at the level of internal energy forming a protective barrier and who also possess elite talents, are indeed difficult to deal with. However, the elite soldiers possess the combat power of a basic internal energy forming a protective barrier under the cloud of energy. Therefore, such a group of things are just troublesome for the Star Han army.
"Hold the line head-on! White Horse, conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area to prevent any sudden enemy attacks. Keep the light and shadow scan constantly on and notify me immediately if anything happens!"
Lu Meng had made arrangements for all aspects of the response, and then the heavy infantry legion began to advance slowly with shields, blocking the space passage from the front.
Lu Meng glanced at the top-heavy formation and guessed that Shenxiang would definitely send people to attack, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and adjusted the formation.
Sure enough, less than fifteen minutes after the main battle began, a Divine Guard appeared in the southeast direction, rushing at high speed.
The White Horse Cavalry discovered the surprise attack by the Divine Guards immediately and reported the situation to Lü Meng.
Lu Meng sneered and ordered the White Horse Cavalry to continue their reconnaissance while he led the elite troops of Danyang to prepare to meet the enemy, relying on the semi-permanent fortifications.
He had anticipated this situation from the beginning, and the opponent's choice was also as expected. The course of the battlefield was firmly in his hands.
"Marshal, the Xiliang cavalry has discovered some new intelligence!"
Lu Meng took the intelligence report from the scout, glanced at it, and his face suddenly darkened.
He had a brilliant plan, and there was a ladder over the wall on the other side.
He really hadn't expected the other side to have this trick up their sleeve.
Li Jue detected traces of blood sacrifice within the Divine Realm and suspected that the Divine Realm was using this ritual to forcibly bring itself into reality.
"Did the previous anti-summoning ritual alert them?"
Lu Meng frowned. When the scouts went to explore before, they used small-scale summoning rituals to ensure the acquisition of intelligence and avoid the sacrifice of soldiers to the greatest extent. But now it seems that they have made things worse.
If the other side were to bring the divine realm directly into reality, their anti-summoning ritual would become meaningless. If the other side were to translate their homeland advantage into reality, they would actually find it difficult to deal with them.
However, Lü Meng quickly figured it out: the blood sacrifice must have been decided when they conquered the capital of Chu, otherwise the other side wouldn't have been able to obtain so many offerings.
The opponent was probably more affected by the destruction of the altar and the subsequent rout; the counter-summoning ritual was just something they happened to resolve.
Otherwise, the other side would not have taken the initiative to use spatial oscillation to try to split their army apart.
This relieved Lü Meng somewhat. If it was an accident, it would be acceptable, but if the other side had known about their plan in advance, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Tell Li Jue and Guo Si to proceed according to the original plan, and not to worry about the blood sacrifice!" After clarifying his thoughts, Lü Meng decided to proceed with the original plan.
After all, the opponent's blood sacrifice transformation takes time, and during this period, it is a more efficient method for them to use the anti-summoning ritual army to probe.
As for being separated by worlds, that's not a problem at all for Xinghan.
They've already developed secret techniques that span the entire world, so how could they not have this kind of location and communication technology? It's just that the cost is too high, so they generally don't use it.
Xinghan's technical department has developed many outlandish technologies, but the problem is that few of them are actually usable, as cost constraints have hampered many aspects of their development.
The vast majority of technologies were shelved, with only a small portion receiving secondary investment after Huang Tianji's calculations.
However, as an emergency measure, Lü Meng carried a lot of this technology with him when he went on expeditions, which was just right for this situation.
Inside the divine realm, Li Jue and Guo Si are protecting the technicians as they set up the anti-summoning ritual.
"These idiots are disgusting!"
Li Jue raised his hand and used gravity to pull a guard down from the air, then cleaved him to death with a single blow. He shook off the blood from his blade, his face extremely gloomy.
Because the divine guard he killed turned into a ball of blood light at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the ground.
Li Jue could sense that these divine guards were sacrificed in some kind of ritual the moment they were killed, so there was no waste whatsoever.
He tried to counter with a killing army formation, but the two sides were not on the same level in terms of absorption speed. They could only extract one-tenth, and the rest were still directly extracted and sacrificed.
The sky was now completely blood-red, and Li Jue, as a serious enthusiast of witchcraft, naturally understood that this was an anomaly brought about by a large-scale blood sacrifice.
Such a massive blood sacrifice affects the entire world.
That's why Li Jue directly reported his guesses to Lü Meng. In this regard, he listened to the authority and was able to directly understand the other party's intentions.
Li Jue attempted to use his witchcraft to locate the location of the blood sacrifice on the other side.
The sacrifices made after the deaths of a large number of divine guards guided Li Jue, allowing him to successfully pinpoint the approximate area of his target.
"Ado, is it still not done?"
At this moment, Guo Si was locked in a fierce battle with the Divine Guards. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had activated gravity manipulation, which greatly restrained the Divine Guards.
But two fists can't fight four hands; more than 20,000 divine guards under the command of Yun Zhongjun are advancing in their direction in an endless stream.
They might even frantically drag the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry down with them, sacrificing them all in a ritual.
"I'm coming!"
After Li Jue imprinted his miraculous mark on the target area to ensure it wouldn't be easily removed by external forces, he grabbed his broadsword and lunged at the divine guards who were being suppressed to the ground by gravity.
How long until this ceremony is completed?
Guo Si, clutching the gaping wound on his chest that was rapidly healing, asked loudly as if his body was being opened up.
"It will take at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!" The technicians have been working as hard as they can, but it still takes time.
Li Jue and Guo Si exchanged a glance. The Divine Guard's attack was ferocious, and they had to adopt a different approach.
"Gravity Domain!"
Li Jue and Guo Si directly extracted the gravity control power from the entire legion and then set up a gravity field around the legion.
Anything that entered the domain was suppressed by gravity; the divine guards that had been hovering above the flying bear were now falling to the ground like raindrops. Through this force that distorted reality, the battlefield was forcibly transformed into a land-based duel.
"Taiyi has decreed that riding horses is prohibited here!"
A divine messenger, holding a book in his hands, loudly proclaimed that almost instantly all the Xiliang cavalrymen were thrown from their horses.
Before Li Jue and Guo Si could react, the divine messenger issued another announcement.
"Taiyi has decreed that the cloud suppression effect here be weakened!"
With the announcement, Li Jue and Guo Si instantly felt a sense of relief. Although the suppression of the cloud energy was still there, it had been largely neutralized.
However, this change did not bring smiles to their faces; instead, their expressions turned ashen.
The average quality of the opposing team is higher than theirs. Now that the suppression of the cloud energy has weakened, the advantage of the opposing team's higher internal energy cultivation has immediately become apparent.
"Can we counteract this power?!" Li Jue gritted his teeth, trying to use his miraculous transformation to counteract this power, but he could only counteract the rule that prevented him from riding a mount.
The suppression of the cloud energy wasn't something that couldn't be countered; rather, if it were countered, the suppression would actually increase for him, which immediately put Li Jue at a loss.
Miracles can negate and offset many things, but they have little advantage in suppressing cloud formations.
In particular, the environmental effect of cloud suppression and reduction is, strictly speaking, a beneficial effect.
Only Li Jue, Guo Si, and a small number of personal guards here possess the ability to perform miracles, making it impossible to fundamentally and directly negate the opponent's rules.
Under rules that were almost entirely unfavorable to one side, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry lost their previous momentum and were suppressed by the Divine Guards to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.
This suppression infuriated Li Jue and Guo Si, but they were helpless. There were seven or eight people with internal energy leaving their bodies in front of them, and they had no way to break through the joint blockade.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, more than a dozen members of the Divine Guards, possessing internal energy, led troops to suppress the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
In other words, the Xiliang cavalry was incredibly powerful; if it were any other legion, they might already be in defeat by now.
But precisely because the Xiliang cavalry had no option to flee, they managed to withstand the attack from Shenxiang by fighting desperately.
"Couldn't our reinforcements have arrived any faster?" Li Jue cursed as he frantically swung his knife.
The numerical disparity was magnified under the rules announced by the opposing side. Li Jue wanted to rush up and chop off the head of that divine messenger, but he simply couldn't get past him.
"What are those bastards from First Yellow Heaven doing?!"
Guo Si forced his severed arm back on and then used a miraculous healing technique to forcibly repair it, but this method was not without its costs.
If they keep going, they'll be completely exhausted.
"By order of Taiyi, gravity here shall be restored to normal!"
Upon hearing this announcement, Li Jue's face turned ashen. Watching the divine guards take flight, he immediately withdrew his gravity field and ordered his soldiers to convert it into a psychological defense to prolong the fight.
"Taiyi declares that the defenses of both sides will be weakened..."
Before the divine messenger could finish speaking, a spatial distortion appeared in the anti-summoning ritual. Immediately afterward, a pair of giant hands tore through space, and Dian Wei strode out from within. Following him, thousands of figures burst forth from the distorted space.
Zhou Cang, along with the Emperor's Imperial Guards, arrived via spatial positioning to support Li Jue and his group.
"Take down that guy in the air holding the tome!"
Li Jue's roar startled Dian Wei, who instinctively drew a flying halberd from his waist and unleashed a burst of power towards the divine messenger.
It was only then that Dian Wei realized that the cloud pressure here was much less than on a normal battlefield.
In such an environment, the stronger the individual, the greater their advantage.
Previously, the Divine Guards suppressed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry by utilizing their internal energy to leave their bodies, but now that Dian Wei has arrived, this brilliant move has instantly become a disastrous one.
With power amplified proportionally, the improvement of a monster like Dian Wei far exceeded expectations.
Despite possessing the strength to break through realms and having several divine messengers guarding him with their inner energy separated from their bodies, Dian Wei killed them instantly with a single blow.
The two who were intercepting the internal energy were crushed like speed bumps, and were killed instantly without even catching the aftershocks of Dian Wei's attack.
"General Dian, kill the enemy quickly!"
Zhou Cang, feeling the oppressive force of the rising cloud energy, immediately gave an order to Dian Wei.
Without hesitation, Dian Wei brandished his twin halberds and charged into the ranks of the Divine Guards, killing hundreds of them in the blink of an eye. Each move he made stirred up a storm of blood and gore.
However, with the return of the cloud suppression, Dian Wei quickly degenerated into a super soldier. Although he could still kill the Divine Guards, his killing speed dropped significantly.
Meanwhile, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had been severely suppressed, suddenly rose up, their will distorting reality to enhance their offense and defense, and unleashing the fury they had been suppressing.
The Emperor's Imperial Guards spread out to the flanks, leaving the frontal assault entirely to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
In direct confrontation, the Xiliang cavalry were indeed not afraid of any enemy.
Previously, they were forced to deal with enemies from several directions, which was a bit of a struggle. However, now that the gravity field has been activated, and with someone protecting their flanks, their combat power has soared to its peak. They crushed the Divine Guards in front of them, buying precious time for the rear to deploy their troops.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the anti-summoning ritual was activated, and a large number of Xinghan regular troops were deployed to the battlefield, quickly replacing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Emperor's Guards to begin fighting.
The fearless willingness to trade lives for lives caused the death rate of the Divine Guards to increase dramatically, while the Star Han soldiers only had to give up a false life.
Although they would grieve for a short while after dying, for these soldiers, it was like having multiple lives.
The two armies engaged in fierce combat retreated back to reality at top speed.
Li Jue left Guo Si to reorganize the army, while he himself immediately compiled his observations into a brief intelligence report and passed it on to Lü Meng.
"I've located the area where they're performing their blood sacrifice. I need more help to destroy their ritual!"
Li Jue directly proposed the idea of striking at the heart of the enemy's stronghold. Seeing the actual confrontation on the battlefield, Lü Meng agreed to Li Jue's plan without hesitation.
Regardless of whether Li Jue and his group succeed or not, they are dismantling houses within the divine realm, which is beneficial to them.
"Here, take this. If you ever encounter that so-called Taiyi, use this to stab him!" Lu Meng handed Bai Qi's sword to Li Jue.
This place already contains a vast amount of power, coupled with the will left behind by Bai Qi's army through repeated god-slaying. If it can strike Taiyi, it will definitely be able to bring this supreme god down from his pedestal. (End of Chapter)
