Although they came across the sea and carried limited supplies, the size of the legion was there, and parading through the city would naturally attract the attention of the enemy.
Under the effect of 'Magical Marching Method A+', the army of nearly 10,000 people moved flexibly like a small team, and they would beat up any small enemy troops that were caught alone. After annihilating the enemy and taking their food and supplies, the legion under Shuoyue even took out several camps and strongholds, disguising them as resource points of the Imperial Army, and then continued to move forward.
After experiencing the hellish battle with the Servants, the soldiers were shocked to find that fighting their former enemies was as easy as a father beating his son. Sometimes, they didn't even need the Blood Evil. They formed formations under the command of their respective legion commanders, divided and encircled the enemies without losing a single soldier, and safely defeated all the enemies.
It's like a giant dragon formed by the gathering of all of them, and it's no longer an existence that ordinary humans can defeat.
The morale of his men was high, and Shuoyue was silently digesting the blood and evil that came from "burning, killing and looting" along the way, fighting to support the war, waiting for the next nightmare-level battle.
Both of them are listed in the Temple of Martial Arts, representing the two chiefs of the Chinese military strategists, Annihilation and Justice.
Now, as a pseudo-Servant, a afterimage from different time and space, is it finally time for a real fight?
After countless deductions and plans, the bloody man opened his eyes and a confident glow appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, but in the intelligence war, I've taken the lead!"
Kong Ming was a servant who had reached level 13 or above very early in Gali, and Shuoyue knew his skills inside and out. Although his skills would definitely change in a real battle, he would not panic as he was prepared in advance.
——But soon, Shuoyue gave up the idea.
Because the situation before him was even more unexpected than he had imagined.
He was a young man with striking short red hair. His androgynous appearance stood out from both male and female perspectives, and his attire made him look clean and heroic.
However, the scales and horns wrapped around his arms, as well as the beast heads protruding from the flesh on his shoulders, separated the beauty of the young man. The ferocious beauty and the handsome beauty were not combined, but instead looked at each other like enemies. The fight made the young man's expression look painful.
Even so, when he bumped into Shuoyue at the forefront of the legion, his eyes still shone with joy.
"Hello, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After the sincere joy, malice rose like a rising tide. The beautiful boy opened his mouth in pain and uttered a voice that did not belong to him at all:
"The Chinese Servant like you has been kidnapped by me. If you want to destroy me, fool, come here if you don't want to drop your weapon, and I will give you the deepest despair!"
After saying that, the two beast heads on the boy's shoulders roared, urging the body to turn around, and disappeared from Shuoyue's sight at a speed beyond ordinary people.
"Governor, it seems that he is also..."
"Yeah, it's just like Caligula back then." Shuoyue nodded, "It wasn't him who challenged us, but another existence."
Recalling the pleading look in the beautiful boy's eyes when he left, and the provocative words uttered by that being, the white-haired commander raised his hand without changing his expression.
"Keep marching."
As New Moon was advancing triumphantly towards the final hurdle, Nero encountered a new crisis.
"Is this all you can do? Countless years after my death, has even Rome fallen?!"
The person who asked this question was a man who looked extremely wealthy and dressed in tribune uniform and had laurel leaves on his head.
Although he has the body of a fat man, his fighting ability is extremely strong. Every time he swings the "Yellow Death" in his hand, it will emit a yellow flash, forcing back the servants who try to move forward, and chopping the soldiers who do not have time to evacuate into pieces.
"Damn... I don't remember that Caesar was so brave in personal combat!" Boudica complained loudly, and rolled sideways with Fujimaru to avoid Huang Zhisi's attack range. "In this case, there is no wheel to protect by oath!"
The chariots roared over, not to attack, but to stand in front of Caesar, blocking his storm-like offensive. Even though such a defense would be shattered by the sword in a short while, Boudica had already led her army out of the attack range.
The man did not chase after them. He just stood there like a puppet that had been turned off, watching the imperial army's embarrassing retreat.
Bathed in the blood-red sunset, the sharp scales on his body made a low buzzing sound as if they were about to pierce the air.
After returning to the camp, Boudica tidied the soldiers, sat down in the tent, and complained angrily.
"So the Roman emperors are all weird guys. After all, this is the country he passed down to future generations. They were too cruel!"
Even if she still did not recognize Rome, Boudica would still feel heartbroken when she saw the lives disappearing one by one in front of her.
"Gaius Julius Caesar, the wise emperor who said 'I came, I saw, I conquered', should not have been like this..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru sat aside, deep in thought.
"Not only that, as a Servant, his output is also very inconsistent with the state of his spiritual base. According to Chaldea's calculations, that is an attack that can only be used if the spiritual base is burned." The doctor on the other end of the bracelet gave a conclusion, "At the same time, the spiritual base itself is not pure, and it is even fluctuating unstably, with a strong resistance reaction."
"That is to say..." Boudica and Fujimaru looked at each other and quickly came to a conclusion.
I'm afraid something unusual has affected this Caesar.
"Phew, luckily Nero had a headache and took a rest, so he didn't participate in this battle." Boudica rubbed her temple and sighed with relief.
If the current Roman emperor saw his predecessors playing Mowing Warriors and being invaded by foreign objects, he would probably suffer a great mental blow, right?
At this moment, the tent door curtain was opened, and the emperor, who had slept for a whole day, walked in full of energy:
"Fujimaru, General Boudica, I found a way!"
"Method?"
"Hmm, I heard that today's battle with the enemy failed, right? Ah... I'm sorry, Boudica, I didn't mean it."
"That's fine." Boudica looked at Nero, who was truly apologetic. It was hard to connect her with the person who said such cruel words yesterday. "Your Majesty, just keep talking."
"Hmm, well, it's very simple. When I was hungry tonight and wanted to find something to eat, I happened to hear a farmer saying something like 'the gods appeared'. A traveling merchant I passed by today also said something similar. After asking more, I found out that an ancient god appeared on an island in the Mediterranean!"
"If there really are gods joining us, then we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties ahead!"
"As a rumor, the content is quite specific," said Fujimaru.
"An island where gods live. How wonderful! Ah, how romantic it is!" Dr. Roman said with longing, "Ancient gods who came to the world in the first century! The gods who were supposed to disappear have returned to the world again...!"
After a brief conversation, everyone quickly decided that Nero and Fujimaru would set out to the Mediterranean to look for the gods.
While Nero was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, he unexpectedly saw several large ships following the route and heading towards another place.
"Hmm, is this... the symbol of the Roman Empire? Is it our ship?" Nero stopped steering and looked around curiously.
"I heard from Mr. Sakutsuki that... this should be a transport ship supporting his expedition..." Fujimaru hugged the pillar and used the conversation to ease his confused state. "Come to think of it, I don't know how Mr. Sakutsuki is doing now... Ugh..."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, the young emperor suddenly pondered, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"By the way, Fujimaru, you can sail a boat, right? You must be able to do it, right?"
ha? "
The seating order of famous generals in the Temple of Martial Arts in different eras is different. Just like Bai Qi was the leader of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts in the Tang Dynasty, but was kicked out in the Song Dynasty. Just remember that the nominated generals are all very capable fighters.
Chapter 273: The Gate of Life or the Gate of Death?
Chapter 273 The Gate of Life... or the Gate of Death?
Xiumen, Shengmen, Shangmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Simen, Jingmen, Kaimen. These are the eight gates of the human plate.
The five elements of Xiu Men are water, the five elements of Sheng Men and Si Men are earth, the five elements of Shang Men and Du Men are wood, the five elements of Jing Men are fire, and the five elements of Jing Men and Kai Men are gold.
Okay, you have learned the basics of Qi Men Dun Jia, which is great.
Now, you are invited to crack the ultimate position of the great military strategist, the supreme work of Qi Men Dun Jia - the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers.
What a joke." The white-haired general twitched his lips. Beside him, the stone pillars covering the surrounding area were connected in a clever way, blocking the five senses and hindering the magic power.
The stone pillars are just appearances. The mutual connection between the anchor points is the essence of the formation. The net of heaven and earth woven by the principles of the way of heaven and earth cannot be broken by force.
This was a formation set up to stop Wu's 100,000-strong army. Even Wu's great marshal Lu Xun and Lu Boyan were unable to break it. If he hadn't been rescued by others, he would have been nearly trapped to death in the formation.
As a descendant of the Chinese, Shuoyue knows only too well how difficult it is to break this formation.
As for why he got into this situation——
Although it was a large army going out, the team transporting food and supplies would always be slower. As the war was imminent, Shuoyue simply let the main force and the transport team move together, and he himself led hundreds of light cavalry to lead the way and act as scouts.
Shuoyue is not a fragile human being, but a pseudo-Servant. Naturally, he does not have to worry about the decapitation tactics. It would be better to say that he hopes the enemy will rush towards him.
However, just as they advanced to a wilderness, several huge rocks rumbled up, overturning the heaven and earth in an instant, reversing yin and yang, and pressing down on Shuoyue like the Five Elements Mountain, making him unable to move.
Not only did the sky and the earth lose their directions, but impacts from all directions also emerged one after another. Rocks rolled down from nowhere, rivers and lakes rushed, bringing about strong winds and thunder, and flames fell from the sky. The scorching steam almost blinded people's eyes.
The blood evil swept across and turned into a barrier, blocking the ever-changing attacks.
"So flashy." With a cold snort, Shuoyue's expression didn't look much better.
The person who is similar to the follower is Zhuge Kongming, and his position is this.
The most famous skill of servants is "position construction".
Of course, there are also embarrassing things like Shakespeare, but as a great military strategist, how can the positions set up by the great Sleeping Dragon be underestimated?
Even though Shuoyue's spiritual foundation is also that of a top military strategist, at this moment all the advantages of time and place are in the hands of the enemy. If he is not careful, he may be suppressed here.
What is more important is the problem with the existence of the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation itself.
If Sakutsuki had not become senile, then the being possessing the beautiful boy was indeed saying, "The Servant who belongs to the Chinese family like you has been kidnapped by me."
Although it is a bit sorry to say this, Shuoyue does not think that this group of beings has the necessity and intelligence to lie.
So what exactly is this Eight Stone Soldiers Formation?
In Shuoyue's opinion, there are two possibilities.
One is that Zhuge Kongming is like Caligula or the beautiful young servant, who is possessed by an unknown existence and has no control over his own behavior.
The second reason is that El-Melloi II was under duress and had to compromise in order to protect someone and set up this formation.
Wait, maybe there is another possibility that tests luck and tacit understanding...
With his eyes flickering, the white-haired general looked at the frightened soldiers and made a decisive choice.
"Gather together, gather around me. I will go all out from now on, and you guys follow me!"
As the man shouted, a giant blood-red terracotta warrior stood upright, holding two swords, and randomly found a place and started running.
"Boom boom boom!" What greeted the blood-colored terracotta warriors was the overwhelming explosion of lightning.
If ordinary soldiers were to take over, they would be wiped out in a short moment. Even the Blood Evil Terracotta Warriors could only hold out for a moment before disbanding on their own, without wasting time.
Not only that, the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation seemed to be enraged, and their momentum in attacking Shuoyue became even more fierce. Even the majestic blood evil was quickly becoming thin under the wind, thunder, water and fire, and it was feared that it would not be able to hold on for long.
At this time, you will miss my original body." The white-haired general waved his hand, and a large amount of blood spewed out to fill the defense line.
If he went into the battle alone, it would be no problem for him to protect himself, but he was accompanied by hundreds of other people, and the energy he would have to spend to protect them would be much greater than if he were to protect himself alone.
After a brief complaint, Shuoyue calmed down again and began to try to analyze the formation.
If it were any other myth, or a heroic spirit from another region, they would probably just be flying around like a headless fly, and eventually be consumed to death. But both Shuoyue and the servant possessed by him were from China, and they had some knowledge of the famous Eight Diagrams.
"The Injury Gate falls on the Zhen Palace. Its five elements are wood. It is located in the east, and its power is thunder." After just this test, Shuoyue figured out the characteristics of this gate. Then he raised his hand and waved. The blood figurines behind him re-condensed and ran in the direction he pointed.
"The Gate of Life is located in the Gen Palace, which belongs to the earth element and is located in the northeast. This means that this is the key to escape!"
Sure enough, when the terracotta soldiers broke through the turbulent flow, the scene before them suddenly became clear and the road to life was clearly visible.
This is the magic of Blood Evil. Even without using cannon fodder to explore the way, Shuoyue can still find a way to escape intact.
"Let's go." Shuoyue said softly, then mobilized the blood evil, withstood all kinds of attacks from inside, and broke through to the gate of life.
As long as you keep moving in this direction, you will be able to escape the blockade of the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation.
However, will things be as simple as Shuoyue imagined?
The answer is naturally no.
The Eight Diagrams Formation is based on the Eight Trigrams of Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li and Dui, and uses heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake to form the formation. It is compatible with astronomy and geography and encompasses everything. It is a rare formation in the history of Chinese military and magic.
Sixteen sky formations, twelve earth formations, the wind formation is invisible, and the clouds are attached to the ground—
Who else said that once this formation is formed, it will be fixed?
After breaking through obstacles one after another, Shuoyue held the sword in his hand and slashed forward fiercely, as if piercing a soft membrane, and the scenery ahead suddenly became clear.
However, Shuoyue only had time to remember the direction in front of him before he was once again shrouded in mist.
Curses, paralysis, resentment, and wailing came to my ears from time to time, as if I was on the Yellow Springs Road leading to the underworld.
This time, even the Blood Evil could not protect the soldiers. As long as they could not stop breathing, feeling, and moving, they were destined to sink in the suffering of hell.
Screams rang out one after another. The soldiers covered their throats and hugged their heads in pain. Their wills were corroded by the resentment and curses caused by themselves. They voluntarily broke away from the protection of the blood evil and turned into blood in less than three seconds.
The Death Gate falls in Kun Palace, and its Five Elements belong to Earth.
And it is directly opposite to the life gate.
Just as mountains and lakes are connected, and thunder and wind are close to each other, Qiankun is also one inside and out, and life and death are inseparable. A place that looks like the door to life, but if you push it lightly, there will be no way to heaven and no door to the earth.
To make matters worse, amidst disorganized roars, a group of soldiers with bloodshot eyes, like wild beasts, rushed into the Death Gate, bathed in blood and fire, and charged towards Shuoyue and his men.
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
