On the tenth day after Windshadow Kuang arrived at the Kuge Prairie, which was the seventh day after he woke up from his coma, or it could be said that it was the sixth day after the meeting attended by all the captains of the 17th Legion, Chen Bing suddenly stopped the daily harassment attack ten miles in front of the 17th Legion garrison fortress. Instead, he used his army to attack the two garrison fortresses that were only three meters high.
Standing on the wall that could only allow four people to pass side by side, Feng Yingkuang's eyes flashed with a surging killing intent, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a cold smile. He believed that in the seemingly endless Ter army opposite him, there must be someone watching them. The only prince of the Tell Empire probably thought for a long time before giving the order for this probing attack!
For this attack, the Tyr people had mobilized almost all of their forces. Only 50,000 people were left in the stronghold. 400,000 people were divided into four echelons, and two teams slowly pressed towards the garrison fortress that Feng Yingkuang had built. The endless army seemed to be connected to the world under the setting sun, extending all the way to the end of the horizon.
Windshadow Craze did not understand. He could not guess why the wise Prince Max would fight a war with them at this time that was obviously a probing attack. It had been 15 days since he had set off from Cullen City. The upper echelons of the Empire must have received news of the invasion of the Tyr people again. From the information sent from the rear, the new teleportation station would be completed in the next day or two.
If destroying the teleportation station was to buy time and create the best conditions for the plan of the Ter army, then before he arrived, the commander should have broken through the two garrisons at all costs and then occupied Kuge City as soon as possible to wait for reinforcements. But that was not the case...
There were too many things that Feng Yingkuang could not find a reasonable explanation for. He even felt that whether it was the person opposite him or himself standing here, they were both chess pieces, performing a performance under the command of a person hidden in the depths of the darkness. Moreover, perhaps even the two human empires, Arthurs and Ter, were just props in the hands of the person hiding in the depths of the darkness. This feeling of being led by someone made him feel very uncomfortable.
He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and pulled his thoughts back to the upcoming battle. Feng Yingkuang turned his head to look at Luo Lina, who had been following him, and ordered in a low voice,"Na 'er, go and inform Faxiu to get ready. It's almost time.”As he said this, a sinister smile appeared on Feng Yingkuang's face." Hehehe, come on! Prince Max, I've prepared a wonderful gift for you, a gift that is definitely beyond your imagination!”
Luo Lina stared at her husband's side profile for a moment before turning around and walking up the stairs. The change in expression on Windshade Craze's face was naturally taken in by Luo Lina who had been watching him. For some reason, ever since Shade Wind woke up, Luo Lina felt that he was a little different.
"Na 'er, wait. After informing Fasiuri, go to the cavalry and follow our plan!”
Feng Yingkuang's voice made Luo Lina stop in her tracks. She turned around and quietly looked at her husband who was watching her. After a while, she nodded silently.
Although she knew very well that if she wanted to perfectly carry out the plan, she had to personally carry out this crucial step, Luo Lina was still filled with a faint sadness and reluctance.
Just as she was about to turn around and walk down the fence wall again, Windshadow Craze shouted Luo Lina's name again.
This time, his voice contained deep tenderness." Na 'er, you…be careful. Protect yourself well. If things can't be done, don't force yourself.”
Luo Lina smiled charmingly and nodded at Windshadow Craze before turning around and leaving.
It turned out that her husband cared so much about her…
Beep! Beep toot!
The long and deep sound of the horn traveled into the tent from afar. Kathleen was still a little weak. She sat up abruptly from the bed, her face full of worry and frustration.
At this moment, how much he wanted to fight side by side with his lover and face the enemy's attack!
But Kathleen knew that her idea was impossible. Even if she insisted on dragging her exhausted body to her husband's side, based on her understanding of Feng Yingkuang, he would definitely not allow it. Silently, Kathleen got off the bed and knelt down in front of the curtain. She prayed piously to the God in her heart to protect her husband and sister from harm in this war.
According to the laws of the Arthurs Empire, a general who led troops to battle could not bring his wife and daughter to the front line. This was not only to prevent the shackles of kinship from affecting the generals 'battles, but also to prevent the generals who had a large number of troops from taking advantage of the opportunity to rebel. It could be said that this was a law set by the emperor of the empire to ensure the stability of the empire. Because of this law, those generals had to consider the situation of their families before they surrendered.
However, with Wind Shadow Kuang's current value in King Arthur's heart, this law naturally had no binding force. Moreover, the Kuge Prairie was his fief. When Kathleen found out that Feng Yingkuang had asked her to go to the Kuge Prairie with him, she was so excited that she couldn't describe it. But now, there was only a faint bitterness and self-blame in her heart.
On the battlefield, she couldn't give her lover the greatest help like her big sister, Luo Lina. So, let her use her most devout prayers to help him win this war. She believed that her husband, who was known as the God of War, was blessed by God.
Beep toot! Beep!
The Ter Army, which had reorganized their formation, finally launched their final charge. The four echelons gradually divided into two directions and charged towards the two garrisons. The soldiers 'deafening roars seemed to make the clouds in the sky tremble uncontrollably, and the magic elements in the air also showed abnormal restlessness.
The mages of Arcus who were standing in the middle of the fortress began to chant spells, and a large amount of magical elements of various elements rushed over. They were preparing to absorb as much magical elements as possible in order to make the defensive barrier that was about to be erected last longer and make the defensive power stronger. This was something that they had to do every day for the past few days. Therefore, although the roars of the Terre army were shocking, they did not affect the mages at all.
According to the standards of the Rostocker Continent, the two garrisons built by Windshadow Craze were not up to standard.
Other than the relatively sturdy fence wall, the garrison fortress lacked the magic array made of magic crystals prepared for the mages. As a result, the defensive strength of the entire garrison fortress against magic was greatly reduced. Moreover, when fighting against the enemy with magic, they would lose their original advantage. But now, there were far more mages in the Arthurs Army than the Ter Army, making up for this shortcoming.
The mages of the Tell Army finally completed the steps of releasing magic. In an instant, all kinds of magic attacks flew over and covered the sky of the Kuge Prairie. It was also at this moment that the mages of the Arthurs army also put up their defensive barrier and covered the entire garrison fortress.
The sound of continuous collisions rang out on the defensive barrier. Occasionally, a powerful spell would make contact with the barrier and cause a rumbling explosion. Just like the previous days, in order to maintain the durability and continuity, Ter's Magicians did not work together to cast high-level spells. Instead, they continuously used Basic Spells and Intermediate Spells to attack the defensive barrier.
The people of Tyr knew very well that they were not strong enough to compete with the people of Arthurs in terms of magic. They were only expending the magic power of the people of Arthurs. After all, maintaining a defensive barrier for a long time was a very taxing thing.
As the Ter army approached, Feng Yingkuang could see the expressions of the soldiers in the front row very clearly. Seeing the shouts and killing of these soldiers, he knew that it was time to attack…
"What are you?" With the help of the Magician's Wind Spell, Windshadow Craze's voice traveled far away. This voice contained the power to bewitch people.
The success or failure of this battle was related to whether the 17th legion could hold the Krug Plains before the reinforcements arrived. It was also related to whether the series of plans formulated by Windshadow Kuang could succeed. Thus, Windshadow Kuang paid special attention to it. Because Luo Lina was going to carry out the most important part of the plan, the only one left here was Windshadow Kuang. He didn't trust the abilities of the others because he didn't know them well enough. Therefore, this surprise attack that was absolutely beyond Commander Ter's expectations was personally led by Windshadow Kuang. The three large cavalrymen had to break through the encirclement of the garrison fortress that the Tyr people were trying to surround separately. They had to use the tactic of breaking through one by one, and they had to buy time for Facurite to prepare for his newly learned magic. This was a very difficult task.
At this moment, Feng Yingkuang was riding on his warhorse, making the final mobilization for the 30,000 cavalry in front of him.
"Liang!"
The 30,000 cavalrymen roared in unison. This question had been asked countless times during their training. Without any hesitation, he said these two words out of reflex. The originally low morale slowly rose with these two words.
"What are those outside?" Feng Yingkuang turned his hand and pointed at the Ter Army outside the garrison fortress. Looking at the changes in the cavalry in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.
"It's Glory! It's undying!"
Gradually, there was no longer any fear in the eyes of the cavalrymen. A faint desire was rising from the bottom of their hearts.
Windshadow Craze pulled out the long saber hanging beside the saddle. His expression became extremely solemn and serious, but his voice was still full of charm." Yes, that is the highest honor of a soldier! That was the place where the world would forever remember the undying! Follow me! Use blood and death to forge your merits!”
The soldiers were boiling. Whether it was the 30,000 cavalrymen that Windshadow Kuang was facing or the other soldiers who heard this conversation, the blood in their bodies began to boil.
Following their commander, the 30,000 cavalrymen slowly approached the tightly shut castle gate with a murderous aura, followed by Windshadow, who was also bursting with murderous aura. They were restless and shouting, infected by their companions 'bloodthirsty aura and becoming equally bloodthirsty. They were eager to fight. Everyone believed that under the leadership of the God of War, they would welcome immortality.
Thump!
The thick wooden gate (made of wood wrapped in solid stone) hit the fence wall under the effect of inertia, making a dull sound.
"Kill them!"
A short but powerful shout rang out from Windshadow Kuang's mouth. At this moment, he had already spurred his horse forward. Behind him were 30,000 pairs of bloodthirsty eyes and 30,000 shining sabers.
Mud and grass scattered under the galloping hooves of the warhorses. 30,000 fierce warhorses and the equally fierce Arthurs warriors charged at the Ter infantry from the gate of the garrison fortress. Behind them were dozens of mages who were hiding under their robes. These people were the most skilled in magic in the Seventeenth Legion. They had to complete a magic array as quickly as possible behind the thirty thousand cavalrymen outside the garrison fortress, in preparation for the new spell that Fahuri was about to cast.
When the cavalrymen charged in groups, the light infantrymen would find it hard to resist. The ones who could stop the charging cavalrymen were the heavy infantrymen clad in heavy armor and wielding sharp spears. However, due to the weight of their armor, their movement speed was extremely slow. In a siege battle, these heavy armored infantry were even more useless. Thus, the thirty thousand cavalrymen led by Feng Yingkuang were only facing the light infantry of the Tell Empire. To these Ter Light Infantry soldiers who were charging forward under the command of the generals, Feng Yingkuang and the thirty thousand cavalry were undoubtedly a disaster.
The long-handled broadsword designed according to Feng Yingkuang's idea was held tightly in his hand and stretched out diagonally from the horse's back. As the horse galloped, countless broken limbs were carried into the sky. Endless screams and hot blood spurted out, making the battlefield in front of the garrison fortress look chaotic and bloody.
Thousands of lives were instantly buried under the command of the commander. At this time, human lives were actually so worthless.
Feng Yingkuang led 30,000 cavalrymen to launch an attack on the Tyr people. He did not intend to cause too many casualties to the Tyr people, nor did he intend to use the powerful impact of the cavalrymen to disrupt the formation of the Tyr people. After all, 30,000 was too little for 400,000.
According to the battle plan, Windshadow Craze led the cavalry to attack the Tyr people. The only purpose was to buy time for the mages behind him, so that they had enough time to prepare for Fahuri's new spell. Moreover, these cavalrymen would play a crucial role in the upcoming plan.
Thus, Windshadow Kuang did not lead the 30,000 cavalry deep into the enemy's formation. Instead, he cleverly used the mobility of the cavalry to harass the front line of the Terre army, in order to minimize the speed of the Terre army's advance.
The sharp long-handled battle blade continued to reap lives. Blood and broken limbs flew into the sky amidst wails. The blood-red battle blade actually had a strange charm under the sunlight, which was so soul-stirring.
The ice and snow that had yet to completely melt formed a thin layer of ice under the constant trampling. From time to time, there would be soldiers of Ter who fell to the ground under the push of their companions. Countless footprints were instantly imprinted on them, and they were buried in the ground without any suspense. Then, life slowly flowed out of their bodies.
Without the protection of the mages, the 30,000 cavalrymen were completely exposed to the enemy mages 'attacks. Although they had high movement speed, the number of casualties continued to increase as they faced the overwhelming magic attacks and the long weapons of the infantrymen. More and more soldiers of Ter charged past the cavalry's line of defense and gradually rushed towards the mages behind the cavalry.
At this critical moment, the gift he had prepared for the people of Terre was finally presented to the world…
Ever since Fasurian learned ancient martial arts from Feng Yingkuang, he felt that he was changing every day, physically and mentally. Before Feng Yingkuang taught him these ancient martial arts, he had solemnly told him that ancient martial arts were different from martial arts. Ancient martial arts relied on the word "enlightenment". Wherever one's heart went, one would have a myriad of insights. Since the emergence of ancient martial arts, it was destined to be a process that required a long time and a gradual process. One needed to be calm, or else one's life would be in danger. Even though he knew very well that Feng Yingkuang was very serious when he said these words, he still could not restrain the throbbing in his heart, nor could he suppress the urgent pursuit. Because he knew that the turning point of his life had arrived.
Every morning after he woke up, Fasurian would practice according to the method that Windshadow Craze had taught him. He could clearly feel that there was another kind of power that was different from the magic power he absorbed during meditation, a power that he could not determine. As he breathed in and out, this power desperately surged into his body. Under the guidance of his will, it kept flowing back and forth, and finally returned to the place that Feng Yingkuang called the "Sea of Qi".
Many times, Fasurian had tried to explain what this power was that made his body stronger and his spirit more energetic. He could clearly feel that this was a power very similar to magic power, but the magic power absorbed during meditation was purer and gentler. But the result was always his defeat.
With so many distracting thoughts, his mind was naturally unable to calm down. In his eagerness to achieve success, it was naturally difficult to restrain his desire. His heart was not calm and his desires were not stable. This was exactly the two taboos that Windshadow Kuang had warned him about. Therefore, an accident happened to Fassuri Karen, one of the top ten sages of Rostak Continent. Half a month after he started practicing ancient martial arts, an accident happened.
Even now, when Fasurite recalled the scene back then, he was still terrified. If Windshadow Craze had not appeared in time, he would probably have been the only non-enlisted soldier to die in the military camp. However, it was also for this reason that Fashiuris deeply imprinted every word of Windshadow Kuang in his heart. He carefully cultivated according to the rules of his " master ", which was why he became the only archmage on the Rostocker Continent.
"I remember telling you that haste makes waste. If I hadn't sensed the abnormality in the energy flow here, if I had come a few minutes later, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to find your corpse!”Feng Yingkuang sat across from the exhausted and pale Facurite and reprimanded him sternly," I know that you are anxious. For you mages, suddenly discovering that you can have a body as strong as a warrior is very tempting. That is why I have repeatedly reminded you to be careful! Humph!"
" I just wanted to absorb more 'qi'. I didn't expect…I thought it was the same as meditation."”
Feng Yingkuang coldly swept his gaze over Faxiurite and said in a deep voice,"Fasiuri, you are the first person I met here, and also the first person I talked to. If I hadn't seen you almost collapse after practicing magic, I wouldn't have taught you ancient martial arts. This kind of thing that affects the progress of civilization is explicitly prohibited by the Federation. I've taught you now, and I've repeatedly reminded you not to be anxious. Ancient martial arts is a gradual process. If you want to reach the heavens in one step, the only result is death. Do you really not take my words to heart at all?”
" I…I feel like my body and mind have changed a lot these days. As you know, I've been stuck at the Sage level for almost thirty years. I think this is an opportunity for a breakthrough, so…I originally thought that Qi cultivation and meditation were the same, just absorbing and storing magic power…"
Feng Yingkuang frowned and waved his hand to interrupt Fassuri." I still don't know what kind of principles your magic and martial arts rely on to form energy forms, but I can tell you with certainty that ancient martial arts and magic are two absolutely different things. There is no possibility of any intersection!”
After a pause, Windshadow Kuang continued to explain,"According to my speculation, the so-called magic is a skill that absorbs a very pure type of natural energy from the world into the body and then releases it. However, ancient martial arts were the exact opposite. Although ancient martial arts also absorbed natural energy, it allowed natural energy to stay in the body for the practitioner to use instead of simply releasing it. That's why you can feel that your body and spirit have undergone great changes. These are the natural energies that you've absorbed and stayed in your body, transforming your body.”
" But..." Fasiuri suddenly interjected, as if he wanted to argue.
"No buts! Fasiurian, I might as well tell you directly that everyone's body can only withstand a limited amount of energy. Only by completely digesting the energy absorbed each time can one continue to absorb it. For someone like you, if a large amount of it stays in your body but hasn't been digested and converted, then you're in a hurry to continue absorbing it. The final result will only cause your body to exceed its limit and explode! The taste just now should have left a deep impression on you, right?”
Thinking back to the scene just now, Faxiu's face, which had slightly improved, immediately turned abnormally pale.
On his clothes, the blood that had seeped out earlier had yet to dry. Feeling the faint pain in his body, Fasurite nodded bitterly and said in a hoarse voice,""I understand. In the future, I will definitely cultivate according to your instructions.”
"Just now, when I was helping you to channel the energy in your body, I had already helped you convert the original energy into qi and guided it into your sea of qi. I also helped you expand your sea of qi slightly. In the future, when you cultivate, it shouldn't be easy for that kind of situation to happen again.”Windshadow Craze's lips twitched, and he gave a stiff smile to the first person he had met since he came to the Rostocker Continent.
"Ah?" Fasurite's mouth was wide open after hearing Feng Yingkuang's words. He really did not expect that this extremely cold-looking outsider would actually look at him in such a different light." Thank you, Master!”
Feng Yingkuang stood up and walked out of the tent from the kneeling Faxiu. Just as Fasurian was feeling extremely excited, Windshadow Craze's unique cold voice entered his ears.
"Fasurian, you must always remember what I told you!! Haste makes waste! I saved you the first time, but that doesn't mean I can save you the second time. Moreover, if it really happens a second time, I won't save you again. That can only mean that you don't have the ability to practice ancient martial arts at all. Remember that!"
Every word of Windshadow Kuang's words was like a thunderclap that exploded in Faxiu Rui's ears. When the last word ended, Faxiu Rui finally could not resist the invisible and shocking pressure. He was completely exhausted and fainted.
Although it seemed that what Feng Yingkuang said back then might not be completely correct, Fasiuri could be said to have perfectly carried out Feng Yingkuang's instructions. Ever since he woke up, he had changed his previous hasty thinking and accumulated the "Qi" in his body bit by bit. He carefully practiced according to Feng Yingkuang's instructions. Finally, about a month later, with the help of Windshadow Craze, Fasiurie successfully broke through his bottleneck and became the first Great Mage in the last hundred years of the Rostocker Continent.
At this moment, Fasuris was no longer a simple Magician. Not only did he possess the magic attainments of an Archmage, but he also had a strong body that was not inferior to a Hero's. This change also caused Fahuri's magic path to deviate completely from its original direction.
When a person possessed a powerful strength that ordinary people could not reach, they would always think about how to exert their strength to the limit and use this strength as much as possible.
Naturally, Faxiu Rui was no exception.
Therefore, with the best magical abilities in the entire continent and the powerful body of a warrior, Fahuri began to combine these two advantages and develop a spell that belonged only to him.
After thousands of failed attempts, Fasurite found what he thought was the most perfect method. When Windshadow Craze returned to the Krug Prairie and took out Dragon's Soul, he found the best solution to the last problem of his new spell.
As more and more soldiers of Ter rushed past the defense line of the Arcus cavalrymen and gradually rushed towards the mages behind the cavalrymen, the magic array under the feet of the mages was finally completed. In an instant, an incomparably dazzling red light illuminated the entire sky. The intense light made everyone instinctively raise their hands to cover their eyes.
A strange stillness appeared on the tragic battlefield. The red light that covered almost the entire battlefield did not show any signs of dissipating. Instead, it became more and more intense. The red light shot up into the sky. From afar, it looked like a thick pillar of light shooting straight through the clouds. With the violent magical fluctuations, a destructive power was faintly emitted from the red pillar of light. Dark red cumulus clouds kept spinning and spreading at the top of the pillar of light. Even the ground seemed to feel the terror of this power and began to tremble violently.
In the middle of the red pillar of light, five half-adult-sized brown magicite gems suddenly appeared, instantly bursting with an unusually dazzling light. The five Mana Stones were like five huge vortexes, crazily absorbing the magical elements in the air. The original earthy yellow color quickly faded, and a grayish-red coat was draped over it.
The commander of the Ter army was the first to recover from the shock and began to command the soldiers to attack the garrison fortress again. Under the orders of their superiors, the soldiers of Ter moved forward with trepidation. From their comrades who had survived the last battle, the soldiers of Ter knew how powerful the magic attacks of the Arthurs were. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen had been reduced to ashes by a single spell, which made them feel terrified. Right now, in front of them was another magnificent spell. No one could guarantee that its attack would be as powerful as the aura it displayed.
Just as the Tyr people were carefully and slowly advancing, and were even prepared to escape, a clear voice came from the red pillar of light, resonating with the world.
" Power that lingers in this world, please listen to my most sincere request. God who gave birth to this land, I pray to you with my most devout heart…"
Following the incantation, the five mana crystals flew out as if they had received an order and formed a vertical ring. The distance between the topmost and the two in the middle was slightly larger, while the space between the two at the bottom was closer.
"Like the blazing flames of the sun, it wrapped around the most solid armor and made a body as strong as a god of war.”
In an instant, a huge crack appeared on the trembling ground, and the earth seemed to feel the pain and let out a series of ear-piercing groans. The five magicite gems hovering in the air once again erupted with an intense light that no one could look at directly before instantly dissipating. The shattered ground kept rising and sinking. Countless large and small dirt and stones seemed to be pulled by some unknown force and flew into the sky, spinning around the five magic crystals.
Suddenly, the red pillar of light suddenly expanded and left the range of the magic array. Circles of deep red ripples with scorching heat spread out in all directions, almost instantly enveloping the tens of thousands of infantrymen in front of the Ter Formation. A shrill scream accompanied by a horrible burning smell spread from the red light to the sky. The ground covered by the red light and the soil and gravel that rose into the air were also attached to the dark red flames.
"Please follow my guidance and become my strongest weapon! War God Bio Equipment!"
Boom!
Following the last word of the spell, an earth-shattering explosion followed. After the powerful shockwave raged, the thick red pillar of light gradually faded. In the silent sand and dust, a huge strange figure appeared in everyone's blurry vision...
The moment the magic array was completed, Windshadow Craze led his cavalry and left the battlefield. Not only did he need to preserve the few cavalry he had for his future plans, but he had also been told by Fahuri that if the magic array was successfully cast, its formation process would carry a great deal of destructive power, and it could not be controlled. When Feng Yingkuang returned to the garrison fortress and stood on the fence wall to see the tragic state of the Tell army, he was secretly shocked and glad.
The name of the Ares Bio was given by Feng Yingkuang at Faxiurie's insistence. Even though this was the first time that Fahuri had turned his theory into reality, Windshadow Craze still gave a very suitable name to the spell based on his description.
After witnessing the entire spellcasting process for the first time, he lowered his head and pondered.
A huge humanoid object made of mud and rocks, wrapped in raging flames, raised its head and roared silently at the sky. It was Fahuri's cry of excitement. He finally had his own exclusive spell, and its power was so great and shocking that he even had the illusion that he had the world in his hands.
After a while, the forehead of the huge Ares costume, the back of its wrists, and the knees of its feet flashed with a faint yellow light, and it strode towards the Terr soldiers under its feet.
Looking at the retreating Ter soldiers, Windshadow Craze knew that there was no suspense in the outcome of this probing battle.#
