Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 939 Zerg Empire
The group, whose light and shadow magic had been cut off, were somewhat bored.
The Miracle Legion clearing out the bugs was really not a very interesting sight.
Watching fireworks as a regular thing is fine, but watching them for several hours straight is a nightmare.
Not to mention, everyone here has exceptional vision; they can see every single hair on the insect with a single glance, making it quite painful to stare at the sea of insects.
"Zilong, look over there at the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Fei moved closer to Zhao Yun, urging him to project the light and shadow towards the Ming Dynasty.
Of all the people, Zhao Yun wasn't the only one capable of handling this kind of technical problem, but Zhao Yun's internal energy was the most abundant, resulting in the clearest light and shadow effects.
Zhao Yun also found it rather boring; insects and such were really not something that could bring him any joy.
"Alright! I'll give it a try!" Zhao Yun communicated with the technicians and projected the light and shadow technique onto the Ming Dynasty. This time, Zhao Yun did it even more discreetly.
The fact that Phagpa easily severed the light and shadow technique ignited a competitive spirit in Zhao Yun. He realized that his previous technique had been too crude, and this time he wanted to see if the Ming Dynasty could discover it.
However, as soon as the light and shadow screen was turned on, the group of people became restless.
On the screen, tens of thousands of people formed an exaggerated formation, ranging from small teams of ten people to nested teams of a hundred people, then to teams of a thousand people, and even teams of ten thousand people.
More importantly, they could clearly see that the other side did not have a commander-in-chief, but rather spontaneously completed this nested military formation.
The soldiers spontaneously developed a coordination as perfect as the ultimate Danyang, and the clouds, under the coordination of the army formation, transformed into the shape of a tornado, completely clearing away the nearby insects.
"Impressive! Four layers of military formations stacked upon each other, the formations are as stable as the eye of a typhoon within the clouds, but the external enemies will suffer the greatest attack!"
"What a powerful army! It looks like a military spirit legion, with tens of thousands of people. It's truly extraordinary!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Even those like Dian Wei, who weren't skilled at leading troops, could tell that this Military Soul Legion was an extremely powerful force.
Being at the same height as the sky is the most basic requirement; the most important thing is the tacit understanding and cooperation between the two parties.
"I wonder which general of the Ming Dynasty commands this army, that it possesses such a magnificent presence?" Zhuge Liang, standing at the rear, turned to Liu Bowen in amazement and asked.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Lu Bu and his men were merely watching the spectacle, but Zhuge Liang truly understood the underlying principles.
This is the complete embodiment of the Kushan gods and Buddhas' vision, with small teams as the basic combat units, and it can be stacked all the way up to the level of large armies.
They possess an absolute advantage, whether in small-scale battles or in large-scale combat.
This was absolutely the work of a military genius, and one who placed great emphasis on fundamentals—a true master of troop training and military formations.
One glance is enough to understand that the opponent has completely integrated troop training and military formation. There is no need to look at their command level on the big battlefield; they are already among the ranks of military geniuses.
"This is the Qi Family Army, which was commanded by Marshal Qi Jiguang of our Great Ming Dynasty. It is one of the strongest armies of our Great Ming!" Liu Bowen introduced with a smile.
Ultimate legions often form quickly and have strong combat power, but they also have unavoidable flaws.
But some legions are not afraid of others finding out.
Qi Jiguang's army belongs to this category. They are not all-around soldiers, but more like a mixed legion. Even a small squad is mixed with soldiers of different ranks, which makes them even more chaotic when placed in a large legion.
But after the military formation organized this chaos, it became different, giving a sense of order within the chaos.
"Truly a powerful army!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed in admiration.
His personal guards were far from reaching that level. Without him going all out, his personal guards couldn't even reliably defeat the other three talent legions, and there was still a considerable gap between them and Qi Family Army.
Zhao Yun continued to move the light screen and soon discovered that there were also some veterans in the Ming Dynasty who had undergone ninefold refining, similar to those in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and even more in number.
However, in contrast, it is clear from the veterans of the Ming Dynasty that they all basically come from the same legion.
"It feels like the Imperial Guards' style?" Zhang Liao examined them closely and found that the style of these veteran Ming soldiers was very similar to that of the Imperial Guards Wolf Riders.
"It's not surprising that they've followed the same path and inherited the same lineage."
“The powerful armies of every empire are somewhat similar!” Hua Xiong rubbed his chin.
The Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty were intertwined and had many similarities.
The differences between Xinghan and the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties are obvious, making them seem somewhat out of place.
"A legion is nothing more than a change in quality and will, and at most it will manifest as a difference in fighting style."
However, everyone knows that even though it is all a combination of qualities and willpower, there are still significant differences.
Even the Miracle Legion has different development paths.
As they were watching, an invisible force suddenly cut off the image on the screen. Everyone looked at Zhao Yun, who shook his head.
There were also masters in the Ming Dynasty who easily cut off his enhanced version of the secret technique. They didn't seem like a military general, but rather more like immortals.
In the Ming army formation, Qi Jiguang sensed something and turned to look at the Taoist priest beside him.
"Master Zhang, who were you just now?"
"A kind of peeping technique using light and shadow, which I casually severed!" Zhang Sanfeng chuckled and waved his hand.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Zhang!" Qi Jiguang was very respectful, and Zhang Sanfeng returned the greeting with equal courtesy.
Although he was the Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was the God of War of the Ming Dynasty. Strictly speaking, their status was actually in the same category.
With the light and shadow cut off, everyone fell into a state of boredom once again; the Ming Dynasty's reaction was a bit too fast.
They had only been watching for a short while when their communication was cut off.
It's not that we can't build any more, but stopping at the right point is better for everyone.
"I can sense that the overall will of the insect plague is taking shape, and the timeframe is probably more complicated than we imagined," Lu Bu said, idly talking about the insects.
He could sense the convergence of the insect plague's will.
He wanted to charge straight into the core of the insects and deliver a brutal blow to that collective will, but the situation wasn't good; if he really rushed in, he might not come back.
Even with Red Hare's speed, it probably wouldn't be able to shake off these ubiquitous insects.
"The will of the insect plague is too immense, almost greater than the imperial will of the Qing Dynasty that we have ever seen. And it is not yet fully formed, which is extremely troublesome."
Guan Yu also frowned deeply, finding the situation difficult. As powerful beings with divine will, they were acutely aware of the significance of the collective will of the insect plague.
"Wait, Zilong, lend a hand! Go all out in this direction!"
Huang Zhong squinted. He had the best eyesight, and for a moment just now, he thought he had seen something different.
Pointing in a direction, Huang Zhong spoke to Zhao Yun, then his eyes gleamed with an icy blue light as he stared intently at the unusual area.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yun asked, and without hesitation, he followed Huang Zhong's instructions and unleashed a Hundred Phoenixes Facing the Sun attack on the area Huang Zhong pointed to. Hundreds of fire phoenixes shot out simultaneously, clearing a large area.
"Found it!" Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed as he spotted the anomaly he had discovered amidst the aftershocks of the explosion.
An ice arrow shot out fiercely, freezing an insect into a solid block of ice in mid-air.
Huang Zhong swiftly retrieved the ice block, his expression unusually grave.
"Is this a Legion talent?"
Zhao Yun recognized the meaning behind the shimmering light on the insect's surface.
"A bug with Legion talent." Huang Zhong's face turned pale; he even thought he was seeing things.
But when he finally got his hands on it, he could clearly feel the brilliance of the Legion's talent.
"Huh?" Everyone around felt their scalps tingle upon hearing this. What the hell was this?
The fact that insectoids already have an elite talent is ridiculous enough, but now they have a legion talent too.
Is this really the Zerg Empire?
"This is definitely a Legion talent!"
Huang Zhong pinched the Boundary-Breaking Insect, which was still struggling inside the ice, to show the others what it was like, and then said with a bit of a headache.
"The threat of the insects has reached a new level, they even have Legion Talent now..." Guan Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Legion Talent and Elite Talent are similar, but in terms of performance, the former is far more dangerous than the latter!
Although Guan Yu was not a military genius, he was still a commander of a large army at the pinnacle of the world, and he saw things more clearly than others.
For large creatures like humans, elite talent is far superior to legion talent. However, for insects, legion talent means an endless supply of reserve soldiers, which can be exhausted to death.
What's worse is that while the two are fine on their own, when combined, they become quite unbearable.
With a bug that has dual talent effects, can you imagine how many talent combinations you can create?
The sheer terror of a talent framework that combines charging and self-destruction was something no one present dared to imagine.
I thought the Incinerate insects were already monstrous enough, but now an even more monstrous combination has emerged.
"Go, go, go! Quickly send it back so the people behind can see what's going on and who made this!"
Huang Zhong grabbed the insect and turned back immediately. This discovery was too much for him to handle; he felt he couldn't carry it anymore.
"A bug at the Breakthrough Level with Legion-level talent?"
After Zhuge Liang met Huang Zhong, he pointed to the boundary-breaking insect in Huang Zhong's hand and asked him about it. Huang Zhong nodded.
“Leave it to me,” Zhuge Liang said to Huang Zhong with a complicated expression.
Huang Zhong nodded without asking any further questions, then handed the insect to Zhuge Liang and quickly left.
Then Zhuge Liang looked at the insect in his hand, and his mental talent instantly analyzed the insect's legion talent.
The talent's effect is simple: muscle liberation.
It would be more effective on humans, but on insects, their basic attributes are too low. Even if they unleash all their power, the final effect is not as good as an arrow.
But if combined with some kind of high-speed elite talent, that would be fatal.
Zhuge Liang did a simple simulation, and the combined power of the two was probably the difference between turning a crossbow into a ballista.
Being attacked by tens of thousands of these insects, only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could withstand it. If it were the Emperor's Imperial Guards, even the thickest shields would be worn through by the constant dripping of water.
Researchers from the three great empires of Xinghan, Daming, and Mongol Yuan fell silent as they looked at the Boundary-Breaking Bug in the conference room.
"Gentlemen, tell me, what have you done this time?"
Zhuge Liang asked with some weariness, as he had actually anticipated the appearance of this thing. After all, such a large-scale insect plague would definitely happen if there was even a slight probability.
According to Zhuge Liang's prediction, the insect plague should not have resulted in the appearance of individual Legion talent insects so early.
Furthermore, if this Legion-talented bug was created temporarily, it means that the swarm likely already had a large number of bugs with Legion talents.
The insects that broke through the boundary before did not exhibit this behavior.
"Tell me, which part of the process went wrong?"
"This situation is only possible when the collective will of the insects is rapidly integrating," Liu Bowen replied with an extremely grim expression.
"This should be the information of the Empire's will that was devoured when the insects were rampaging across various places."
"This information is constantly spreading within the swarm. Once a bug tainted by this information reaches the Breakthrough Realm, it will directly develop Legion Talents!"
Boyan immediately refuted Liu Bowen's statement.
"The emergence of Legion Talents requires the concept of recognition and unity. The prerequisite for breaking through the boundaries to forcibly create Legion Talents is the concept of collectivism and recognition."
"The will of these insects is one; if it were to be born, it would have been born long ago. How could it have waited until now!"
Liu Bowen pulled up a set of data and pointed at it with a chill, saying...
"This means that the insects of the insect plague are awakening their own will; they are evolving and becoming a truly intelligent species."
"We have to take some drastic measures. If this continues, I'm afraid the insect infestation will turn into a real disaster!"
Liu Bowen was now truly serious. He suddenly realized that he had overestimated the harm of the insect plague as much as possible, but he had still underestimated it.
Intelligent beings mean that the other side may be able to learn military formations.
Once the enemy learns about military formations, they don't need a very high level of skill; commanding a large army is enough.
When the power of tens of thousands of insects is combined, will it really be weaker than a dual-talent soldier?
They might even be as strong as the three-star soldiers.
Given the sheer number of insects, once they learn these things...
They would no longer be facing an insect plague, but an insect empire with hundreds of millions of soldiers.
Even as the number continues to grow, despite the massive efforts of the major empires to eradicate the insects, the overall insect population continues to rise.
Compared to the so-called "all people are soldiers" of nomadic peoples, insects are the ones who truly embody the spirit of "all people are soldiers."
In that case, they might end up fighting a defensive battle.
Instead of leisurely considering how to exterminate the insects at the lowest cost. (End of Chapter)
