NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42 Sirius Totem, Terrifying Military Power
boom! boom! boom!
At this time, outside Yanmen Pass, countless barbarian soldiers spread like a tide from the end of the grassland.
Its momentum was so great that just the sound of footsteps seemed to shake the world.
When the barbarian army reached 500 meters outside Yanmen Pass, they all stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a large black flag was raised from the center of the army.
It is tens of meters high, with a ferocious wolf head painted on it, standing in the sky above the army and waving in the wind.
The next second, a terrifying power centered on the big flag gradually spread to the surroundings.
Until finally, a black wolf covering the sky and the sun formed above the army.
Suddenly, the phantom of the black wolf suddenly opened its eyes, its scarlet eyes swept in all directions, and the world became dark.
This was not an illusion. The moment Hei Lang opened his eyes, endless clouds gathered over Yanmen Gate, and the land with a radius of dozens of miles instantly turned from day to night.
"Is this... a military situation?!"
Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the military camp, stood up suddenly, his eyes full of horror.
"How is it possible? Why do the barbarians have martial arts cultivators?"
As a descendant of a military strategist, he naturally knows all about this kind of military strategist's methods.
To be able to directly change the situation, in his understanding, only Wenxiu who has stepped into the realm of military strength can do this by condensing military strength.
And looking at this coverage area, the opponent is not as simple as entering the army for the first time.
Although Liu Ye judged from Liu Ye's previous report that there was a military formation realm cultivator in the barbarian army, military formation and military strength were completely different concepts.
As far as he knew, there were less than ten literary cultivators who had reached the level of military power in the world, and they were basically all above the temples. They could not be easily affected unless the world changed drastically.
How could it suddenly appear in this borderland?
The key point seems to be that they are still from the barbarian side, which is too incredible.
With doubts in his heart, Zhang Liao quickly climbed to the top of the city.
When he saw the big flag fluttering in the wind, he realized that he had gone astray.
"Sirius Totem, that's it!"
Totem is a unique custom of barbarians.
In order to survive stably in the northern wilderness, the barbarian ancestors would gain blessings by believing in some powerful beasts.
Over time, their respective tribal totems were formed.
At the same time, the totem gradually gained some special powers because it gathered a large amount of power of faith.
The power of totems is very complex. Depending on the type of totem and the source of the power of faith, it basically has all kinds of abilities.
Among them, the Tuoba tribe’s Sirius totem is considered a relatively powerful one, and its most significant effect is to consolidate military strength!
Once the military strength is condensed, it will not only greatly improve the morale and recovery ability of the entire army, but also form a mental deterrent to enemy soldiers, resulting in a tenth loss of combat effectiveness.
And under the suppression of military power, the generals were unable to use their true martial arts skills.
This is a general trend that cannot be reversed without personal will.
"Now we're in trouble!"
Zhang Liao frowned.
He was well aware of the terrifying military strength. If he could not break it, the battle would be impossible to fight.
……
At the same time, Liu Ye also quit his cultivation state.
As expected, three body tempering pills were not enough to support him to complete a blood exchange.
Seriously speaking, he is now half-step into the blood exchange realm.
The combat power has indeed improved, but not as much as imagined.
"Huh? Why is it so dark? It's just refining three body tempering pills. It doesn't take a whole day, right?" Liu Ye stood up and walked out of the camp.
When he saw the heavy clouds covering Yanmen Pass, he felt inexplicably depressed.
It seemed like something was pressing on my chest, making me breathless.
"not good!"
Liu Ye realized that this might be the tactics of the barbarians, so he picked up the black dragon halberd and ran towards the city wall.
Seeing Zhang Liao standing on the city wall looking up into the distance, Liu Ye quickly walked over.
"Sir, what is going on?"
Liu Ye bowed and then asked about his doubts.
"Military strength."
Zhang Liao slowly spit out two words.
Later, Liu Ye also learned from Zhang Liao the terrifying aspects of the military situation. This was completely a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Sir, do you have any ideas to break the situation?"
No matter how strong the army is, it can't be without any flaws, right?
However, Zhang Liao shook his head: "The only thing that can resist the military force is the military force. Moreover, the opponent has the blessing of the Sirius totem, and the ordinary military force is no match at all."
"Then...is it feasible to directly cut off the Sirius Totem?" Liu Ye's idea was very simple. Since the military strength was condensed by the Sirius Totem, let's start from the source.
"It's basically impossible. With the military's suppression, even a warrior from the Third Realm of Middle School can't defeat an army of 100,000 and kill the generals and seize the flag."
"Can't you do it too, Mr. Meng?"
In Liu Ye's opinion, Mr. Meng should be one of those outsider masters who hides himself in the city, so it shouldn't be a big problem to kill him.
Although it is inhumane to send an old man in his seventies or eighties to the battlefield, for the safety of tens of thousands of people in Yanmen Pass, he can only work hard for him.
At worst, I'll make all the immortals drunk from ten altars and eight altars afterwards, and I believe I won't be blamed too much.
Zhang Liao glanced at Liu Ye when he heard this: "Why do you think Mr. Meng is stronger than the third level warrior?"
"Uh... isn't it?" Liu Ye scratched his head.
"Mr. Meng is from the Meng family, but he is in the casting profession.
Although he has entered the third-level ghost ax realm, in terms of combat effectiveness, he is actually only at the level of a sixth-level warrior. "
After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, Liu Ye suddenly realized.
I bet that not all cultivation methods have combat effectiveness. Meng Lao is a dignified third-grade expert, but he can't defeat a fifth- and sixth-grade warrior. This is very embarrassing.
Of course, lack of combat effectiveness will not affect Mr. Meng's status in the world.
A master who can cast the embryo of a divine weapon will be treated as a guest wherever he goes.
"But... if that person is here, maybe he can really kill the general and capture the flag as you said!" Zhang Liao stood with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, his eyes becoming a little deep.
"My lord, you mean..." Liu Ye hesitated.
For some reason, Liu Ye could hear deep admiration from the other party's tone.
"Jiuyuan Lu Bu!"
【really. 】
Hearing Zhang Liao's answer, Liu Ye was not surprised at all.
It seems that there is no one else who can make Zhang Liao, a genius-level warrior, admire him except Lu Bu, who overshadowed the entire Three Kingdoms period.
[But calculating the time, Lu Bu should have arrived at Yanmen Pass by now. 】
Yanmen Pass is only about 500 miles away from Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. According to the abnormality of war horses in this world, traveling thousands of miles a day is a basic operation.
Including the time to gather the army, it should be here in 7 days.
Could it be that... Lu Lingqi had an accident along the way?
Thinking of this, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel nervous.
"what happened to you?"
Seeing that Liu Ye was not in the right state, Zhang Liao felt a little strange.
"It's nothing. I just feel that water from far away can't quench the thirst for nearness. I'm afraid we can only rely on ourselves to break the situation."
Liu Ye did not disclose Lu Lingqi's situation in front of Zhang Liao, which was also Lu Lingqi's own intention.
"You are right. Although a messenger was sent to Jinyang seven days ago to ask for help, it will be difficult for the reinforcements to reach Yanmen Pass without half a month."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liao also sighed deeply.
The roads inside the pass are no better than those outside the pass. The roads are winding and winding. In terms of marching speed, they are far inferior to the prairie barbarians.
and many more!
Liu Ye suddenly realized something was wrong.
Zhang Liao just said that it would take half a month to get from Bingzhou Governor, which is Jinyang County, to Yanmen Pass.
Even with a large group of infantry, the 500-mile journey would only take seven or eight days, not even half a month.
How far apart is this special cat?
"Sir, how far is it from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass?"
"About three thousand miles, what's wrong?"
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Ye in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Liu Ye suddenly asked this.
Three thousand miles?
This distance is obviously wrong.
So, the territory of this world is dozens of times larger than the Earth in the previous life?
But yes, after all, this world even has cultivation methods, so it seems reasonable to have a larger area.
From this point of view, everything should be normal on Lu Lingqi's side.
The red phosphorus bloodline is quite strong, but it is still in its infancy and has limited endurance.
It is estimated that the news was only sent to Lu Bu three days ago. How could he arrive at Yanmen Pass so quickly?
After thinking about this, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.
As for the crisis at Yanmen Pass, it seems that we can only delay it until reinforcements arrive.
"By the way, my lord, is there no other way to resist the suppression of military power besides military power?"
There are so many cultivation systems in this world, and he doesn't believe that he can't find a second force that can compete with the way of military strategism.
If the military system were really that good, Confucianism and Taoism would not be the only ones now.
"Yes, there is, but...it's not realistic."
"The most direct way is the Confucian method of following the words, but this is an ability that can only be used by the third-grade Confucian realm, and the entire Han Dynasty may not be able to find one."
However, as soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, a slightly aged voice suddenly came from the side.
