Chapter 587: Chapter 43: With This Battle, Shaking the World!

The Wind Queen grasped the marvel, the Eight Gates Golden Lock.

This ancient Great Formation rapidly began to change, with more than ten thousand armored soldiers pressing onto the battlefield, transforming into a battlefield fourteen hectares in size. These soldiers, all in heavy armor with gigantic shields, linked in breath, again transformed into an Eight-Part Formation, capable of dispersing the pressure they bore.

To protect themselves, they constructed battle formations.

Within it, their own troops morphed into at least eight major formations, swiftly transitioning and changing. Enemies who entered this formation saw only ambushing troops to the left, right, front, and back, blindly charging forward, solely focusing on the slaughter. However, a strategist outside the formation was controlling the changes to the military formation with flags.

Like a constantly changing millstone, not a fixed form.

But this formation was not primarily for attacking through slaughter, but for defense, guidance.

The eight formations, sixty-four maneuvers swiftly transitioning and guiding the troops of Ying Country and Chen Country’s armies who entered the battle formation to collide with each other. This was what Yuan Zhi called "borrowing troops," a tactic and strategy proposed from extreme confidence in his ability to control his own battle formation and battlefield.

Once successful, it would be renowned throughout the world.

But if it failed, it would mean facing an enemy several times the size of their own with more than ten thousand men.

If they did not achieve a great victory, it would be a great defeat.

However, since all water systems were under their control, the possibility of great defeat was also eradicated.

A strategist of the Military School is supposed to ensure his position on invincible ground before launching an attack.

When Yuan Zhi proposed this plan, he thought it would trigger objections from many generals. However, to his surprise, perhaps due to the fact that the majority of the Qilin Army’s war generals and colonels were truly originators from unconventional backgrounds, they were not constrained by traditional military doctrines and were willing to try this battle.

Still, this battle was extremely perilous.

The battle formation began to change swiftly.

Yuan Zhi closed his eyes, simply relying on the pure Qi mechanism sensation to identify surges of ferocious Military School Qi energy. This was the Qi Observation Skill he had learned, a technique available to all factions, but each emphasized differently.

Heaven and Earth resonate, Yin and Yang buffer each other, called Qi. Accumulated over time to form clouds, where all forms below respond to the forces above.

He glimpsed within the Sky Covering Formation, an aura of a Fierce General, like smoke and mist, boiling like firelight illuminating the night!

The Fierce General of Ying Country, ranked ninety-one on the Divine General List, Meng Dahao, originally a commander of an alien tribe, later surrendered to Ying Country, ferociously brave, with arms so strong, seemed capable of moving mountains, his heavy cavalry, though not a prestigious corps like the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry of Ying Country, were still not to be underestimated.

Inside the Earth Carrying Formation, the Qi was yellow and white, moist, signifying a general of might and virtue, indomitable.

The General of Ying Country, ranked ninety-three on the Divine General List, Pei Xiao.

Mastering a long-handled horse spear, his Qi soared to the skies, his cavalry general rating still above that of Ling Pingyang!

And within the Dragon Flying Formation, the Qi was like firelight, like a mountain bank, like boiling dust, yellow and white, the banners fluttered without wind.

The Great General of Ying Country, ranked seventy-nine on the Divine General List, Zhao Guoqi.

He excelled in leading infantry and cavalry formations, his battle style as fierce as fire, yet calm and steady.

Meanwhile, from Chen Country, ranked ninety-eight on the Divine General List, Shen Tu Yongfu.

Ranked ninetieth on the Divine General List, Si Tongyuan.

Ranked eighty-five on the Divine General List, Han Zhenjia.

All brimming with vigorous Qi, these were formidable generals. Although it wasn’t likely for generals who chased the enemy deep to send all their troops, those participating in the battle, combining both sides, nearly amounted to thirty thousand soldiers. The largest disadvantage of the Qilin Army lay in—

The huge gap in the quality of their war generals!

Yuwen Tianxian’s fighting spirit was notably languid. In this battle, he was assigned only to the outermost perimeter, to maintain the stability of the entire Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, allowing the rotation and changes of each formation to converge at one point, linked by Qi mechanism.

The eight formations continued their ringed changes, capable of dispersing various pressures.

The only capable war generals they could use were Ling Pingyang and the Angry Scale Dragon King.

Thus, the famous generals of Ying Country and Chen Country occupied six battle formations.

And these two fiercest generals of the Qilin Army, with the strongest single combat capabilities, were within two of the eight formations, accumulating Primordial Qi, preparing for the most critical joint battle.

The other generals, even Changsun Wuchou, weren’t qualified to confront these few famous generals. Their task was to lead the troops in swift, flowing changes of the formation, forming shield walls, never engaging in prolonged combat. This formation had a total of twelve hundred fifty combat units, all required to change swiftly.

Yuan Zhi felt immense pressure.

"Report!!!"

"Chen Country’s troops, Ying Country’s war generals, have all entered the formation!"

The scout’s voice was extremely loud, clearly more tense than usual. Yuan Zhi exhaled a breath, without turning to look, simply said, "Change formation, outer part, change to the Sky Covering Formation. Have wind without clouds. Use the outer formation’s troops, advance two columns to the south. "

"In the southeast, southwest, have two companies each, arrange at two constraints."

"To the left and right Heavenly Balance, four companies each, arrange at the middle front. To the left and right, Heavenly Front and Back Charge, two companies each, position at both ends. To the left and right, Rear Heavenly Balance, four companies each, arrange at the middle back. To the left, Rear Heavenly Charge, two companies, positioned at the back. In the northeast, northwest, have two companies each, position at the two rear constraints."

"Sky Covering Formation, Wind Rising Formation integrated."

"Order Ying Country’s Pei Xiao’s troops and Chen Country’s Han Zhenjia’s troops to collide!"

These instantaneous battle formation judgments were made by Yuan Zhi, and nearby Li Guanyi, responsible for maintaining the continuous Qi mechanism of the entire Qilin Army’s formation, couldn’t help but grin, feeling that he, as a younger man, was indeed only suited for charging type combat methods. Like Yuan Zhi’s approach, making judgments in an instant, was too difficult.

Yuan Zhi hardly stopped, this usually carefree ranger, at this moment, seemed to have his entire spirit tensed, commands streaming continuously, transforming the Earth Carrying Formation and Cloud Formation into "Cloud Attached Earth".
