Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Jiang Shu returned with his troops and summoned all the generals after arriving at Fenggao City.

He said, "What are your legion talents? Or what kind of legion do you want? I will design a suitable legion for you."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Is any kind of army acceptable?"

"Most talents can be created, especially after I read the Marquis of Huaiyin's Art of War, my understanding of the cloud system has become much deeper."

"By the way, this is the Art of War by the Marquis of Huaiyin. You can each take a copy later," Jiang Shu said.

Zang Ba stared in shock at the military treatise before him. Whose treatise was this? The Marquis of Huaiyin's? And it even included the design of legions! Aren't legions supposed to be earned through battle? Can they really be designed?

Guan Yu said, "Ever since Mingzhi pointed out the Legion Talent, I have been studying my own talent. Now I can confirm that my talent is probably something like increasing soldiers' confidence and strengthening morale."

"Yun Chang, try unleashing your Legion talent on me," Jiang Shu said.

Guan Yu immediately unleashed his Legion talent.

Jiang Shu felt it for a moment, and then wrote that it was easier to break through the limits.

"Yun Chang is a divine cultivator, isn't he?" Jiang Shu said.

"That's right," Guan Yu nodded.

"Then a legion with strong willpower would be very suitable for Yun Chang," Jiang Shu said.

Jiang Shu silently wrote down some talents, such as Willpower Limit Break, Willpower Export, Willpower Transcendence, and Willpower Enhancement, and then handed them to Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang can take a look at these talents and traits; we'll discuss them later," Jiang Shu said.

"Yide, how is your talent?" Jiang asked.

Zhang Fei said with a bitter expression, "My talent probably includes intimidation and the like. After a long period of fighting, my soldiers simply cannot withstand it and have to retire. Even the veterans who followed me during the Yellow Turban Rebellion cannot do it."

"Try releasing it on me," Jiang said.

Zhang Fei hesitated, fearing that Jiang Shu might not be able to handle it. Jiang Shu was their only legion commander, and if he made it impossible for him to go to the battlefield, wouldn't that be a waste?

"It's alright, Yide! I was just trying to unleash my power," Jiang Shu said with a smile.

Zhang Fei eventually released a tiny bit of his Legion Talent to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu assessed the situation and wrote: "This complex talent contains a series of effects such as intimidation, deterrence, and coercion. Prolonged use will cause soldiers to retire and become unable to fight, but the same applies to the enemy."

"The most suitable talent for Yi De should be one that can handle a talent that doesn't have much combat power," Jiang Shu said after thinking for a moment.

"The second talent doesn't need to be created; it just needs to be absorbed by the Legion's talent. Of course, even the capacity to bear talent isn't limitless, so you need to release your talent in batches, continuously releasing it as the soldiers reach their limits, without exceeding those limits!"

"Legion talents can be released in batches?" Zhang Fei said in disbelief.

You should know that ever since the experiment revealed that his Legion talent would cause his veterans to retire, Zhang Fei had planned to permanently shut down his Legion talent. After all, veterans are too important; a Legion simply cannot withstand the strain of having no veterans.

So when Zhang Fei heard that there was a solution, his eyes were still full of joy. Legion talent, the exclusive power of internal energy leaving the body (?), who wouldn't want to use it?

As for the question mark, it's because Zhang Fei saw Jiang Shu unleash his legion talent, but Jiang Shu clearly didn't have internal energy leaving his body.

"That's possible. Yide can go and exchange ideas with Zilong on this. After all, this is considered a secret technique, and Zilong is good at developing secret techniques," Jiang said.

Zhang Fei put his arm around Zhao Yun and chuckled, "Zilong, from now on, I, Old Zhang, will be relying on you!"

Zhao Yun smiled modestly and said, "Of course, I will do my best to help General Zhang."

"Then there's Zilong," Jiang Shu said with a faint smile.

Zhao Yun calmly replied, "My talent has a calming effect on my soldiers."

"Let me release some pressure," Jiang said.

The silver-blue Legion talent instantly enveloped Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu wrote, "It has a calming effect on soldiers and can greatly immunize them against negative effects."

Zhao Yun was taken aback. Great immunity to negative effects? His talent had this effect too.

"A terrifying talent, immune to negative effects. I wonder how high the potential is, but since that's the case, we can use some legions with negative effects," Jiang Shu commented.

"Zilong must have noticed when he was leading the white horse that your white horse is slower than the white horse followers of others," Jiang Shu said.

Zhao Yun nodded.

"Because excessive speed is also a negative effect on your talent," Jiang said.

Zhao Yun's lips twitched. No way, there's such a saying? But Zhao Yun knew his own talent, and he could tell whether his talent was being used normally or not.

Jiang Shu wrote it down: killing and absorbing, disintegrating the Heavenly Demon, liberating muscles, bloody berserk, squeezing the body, and other talents.

Looking at the talents Jiang Shu had written down for him, Zhao Yun felt that none of them would be of great harm to the soldiers, the least harmful being Muscle Liberation.

"Zilong's troops need to be trained one by one. The main purpose is to test the limits of Zilong's army's talent. If the limits are very high, they can be used as the Imperial Guard, the personal guard of the Marquis of Champion of the Later Han Dynasty. If the limits are not high, their talents can be separated and used."

"The personal guards of the Marquis of Champion of the Later Han Dynasty are skilled in killing and absorbing, adding bloodlust and ferocity, and also have a method of using military spirit to cut out negative emotions into shadow soldiers. If you want to use this secret technique, you, Zilong, will have to create something similar yourself."

"Hmm, Demonic Disintegration is also a pretty good talent," Jiang Shu said with a smile.

"However, we must be cautious about this kind of legion. Once the legion's talent is broken by negative forces, then the legion will probably be wiped out."

"Zijian, it's your turn," Jiang Shu said, looking at Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong chuckled and said, "I think my legion talent is very suitable for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as it can improve the soldiers' charging power and strength, which is perfect for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

Jiang Shu nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed no legion more suitable for your talents than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at present."

"Other cavalry, such as the Yue cavalry and the Hu cavalry, are not suitable for you. The main reason is that the talent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is hard to change. You are somewhat influenced by idealistic forces."

Hua Xiong was stunned. Could it be? Although he knew that Jiang Shu was very skilled, he couldn't be this skilled. He could even see through the mental power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

That power is hidden deep within them; only a handful of people know the truth, and once it's exposed, the talent is gone.

Hua Xiong thought for a moment and decided that since Jiang Shu hadn't said anything, he would pretend he didn't know.
