Lord of the Earth

Chapter 159 Zhuge Liang's supernatural powers!
"Commander Lu, how is the investigation of the Mountain Ghost Clan going?"

Xia Tian looked at Li Ru, who was wearing a black robe, and although he was practicing the "Poison Art" secret method, his demeanor seemed to be more elegant and easy-going!

"According to the letter information sent back by Deputy Commander Shen, these Tianshan ghosts frequently attack from their secret realms, sweeping the surrounding wilderness and some foreign strongholds. Relying on their own ability to control the 'cursed blood', they now have a group of ghosts under their command." A miscellaneous 'army'!"

"Roughly estimated, the number of creatures controlled by it is more than [-], and the levels are all above the fifth level of the mortal level. Among them, the number of creatures of the mortal-level race is about [-]."

"However, not all of these transformation-level creatures were transformed from the beginning, and many of them seem to be forcibly raised by some means to complete the transformation. The combat effectiveness may not be very strong... and in the past two days, the army of the mountain ghosts ’ The rate of expansion has slowed.”

Li Ru said.

"Why?"

Xia Tian has some doubts.

In just five days, tens of thousands of "armies" have been mastered. The ability of this kind of "explosive soldiers" can be called terrifying, and it is far beyond the reach of lowly alien races such as scorpions, murlocs, and werewolves!
Logically speaking, shouldn't the Shangui clan continue their efforts and make their subordinates stronger and stronger like a snowball?

"Because there is a shortage of manpower... The scout battalion has observed these days and found that there are not many mountain ghosts, and there are only a few dozen who have walked out of the secret realm so far!"

Reported by Li Ruhui.

Moreover, although the creatures affected by the mountain ghost's "cursed blood" will become stronger physically, they will also lose their wisdom and become beasts!
Because the number of clansmen is too small, for mountain ghosts, the more troops they have, the stronger their combat effectiveness will be.

But the more difficult it is to manage and control, and there are even situations where different creatures kill each other.

In addition to this period of time, they have already swept away the area within fifty miles of the secret realm. Other ordinary races have either fled or been controlled. Even if they want to continue to explode, they can't find many "sources of soldiers"!

"This explains why they started to attack our human race. But it is really a brutal race. In just five days, tens of thousands of creatures have gathered in the world. It is conceivable that there will be more people killed!"

Jia Xu turned over the golden bamboo slips in his hand, frowning.

"A [-]-strong army, a thousand degenerates, and an unknown number of powerful mountain ghosts... The enemy's troops are extremely strong!"

Then he stopped talking, obviously thinking about a strategy to defeat the enemy.

You know, although the strength of the territory has been greatly expanded these days, and tens of thousands of luck were spent in summer for rapid training, so that the newly recruited soldiers can quickly master the combat skills of the proficient level!
But even with the addition of the original soldiers, the strength of the territory is no more than 500.

Among them, 750 are trapped in the camp, and 250 of them have completed more than one transformation.

There are 150 members of the Yunjiao Guard, of which [-] have the combat power of morphing, but because the newly hatched black and white pheasants are still growing, they cannot fully exert their strength.

The rest are Huarong's [-] reserve shooters, and Wu Song's [-] territory patrols and security soldiers, of which about [-] are of the mortal rank.

More than [-] degenerate-level soldiers are already very powerful in any human territory, but they are not as good as the "explosive soldiers" of the mountain ghost in just a few days!
"Actually, the enthusiasm for practicing in the territory these days is also very high."

"Many non-military residents have also exchanged their merits for the method of 'cultivation' from the Langhuan Jade Mansion. It is conceivable that the number of people who will complete a transformation soon will increase significantly. However, those mountain ghosts should not would give us too much time..."

After thinking for a while, Jia Xu looked at Xia Tian and spoke in a deep voice.

"My lord, since Wang Wu and the others have already arrived, they have also brought the 'Green Bamboo'. Xu suggested that we make a 'Sky Lantern' and fly it in the sky to attract the surrounding human races to the territory."

"In this way, not only can the combat power of the territory be directly enhanced, but the people gathered from all directions will also be able to restrain the energy of the mountain ghosts, so that they can't attack us with all their scruples, and it can also buy some time for the territory to increase its combat power... ..."

This was originally a strategy decided after the previous territorial discussion, if it was before the mountain ghost attacked Xue Baochai and his party today.

Xia Tian would definitely agree with Jia Xu's approach.

But today, from Xue Baochai and others, Xia Tian knew that those mountain ghosts were searching for humans and trying to gather them together, and they would be taken as "hostages" when the war started!
This made Xia Tian have some hesitation.

Lighting up the "sky lantern" to attract more humans will greatly reduce the risk of fighting the mountain ghost in the territory and greatly increase the chance of winning.

But the bad thing is that those human races are very likely to be attacked by mountain ghosts in the process of gathering towards the territory, and even become captives of the other party to threaten their own territory!

As for this kind of result, Xia Tian thinks that Jia Xu should be able to predict it, but as a famous "poisoner" in history, he can use tactics as long as he can "benefit himself", even if he sacrifices some human races from other territories, it will be guaranteed. Eliminating the mountain ghost is also worthwhile in his heart!
But Xia Tian, ​​as a lord, must consider more...

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily require the help of everyone."

"Only relying on the strength of our territory, we can also deal with the army of mountain ghosts, and the chances of winning are not small!"

Seemingly seeing the hesitation in Xia Tian's heart, Zhuge Liang, who was shaking the black and white feather fan gently, spoke suddenly.

"Oh, what's Mr. Zhuge's plan?"

Xia Tian looked at this superhero with curiosity and expectation on his face.

"As your lord said, today's 'white soldiers' are no more than the first rank, and they can fight the two mountain ghosts head-on by relying on the army formation. Our territory can also use the power of the 'army formation'."

Zhuge Liang said.

"Military formation? The military formation is indeed powerful, but it must be transformed into a mortal and above to truly exert the effect of the military formation."

"Relying on the current [-] degenerate soldiers, even if the strength of the 'Trapped Camp' and the 'Cloud Dragon Army' is not low, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with the mountain ghost 'army'..."

Xia Tian said.

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten that besides the trapped camp, cloud guards, and patrol camps, there are thousands of terracotta warriors and horses in our territory who have the power to transform from mortals. If we can rely on these terracotta warriors and horses to build an 'army formation' to protect the territory , even if the 'army' controlled by the mountain ghost is tens of thousands, it is completely enough to fight head-on and defeat it!"

Zhuge Liang waved the feather fan and laughed at Yan Yan.

"Although the terracotta warriors and horses have a certain level of spirituality, they can be regarded as metamorphosis, but in essence they only belong to pottery warriors and stones... Can they also arrange 'army formations'?"

Xia Tian felt that there were some surprises.

According to his understanding, "army formation" is similar to "spiritual skills", both of which can greatly enhance a person's combat effectiveness.

However, a spiritual skill is a creature that has completed five transformations. It can be used alone by integrating its own powerful spiritual power into the spiritual power!

The military formation requires dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of people to work together to stimulate the power of their own blood, the evil spirit containing the power of the soul, etc., so that they can work together as one party.

Because of this, the requirements for the tacit understanding of the creatures forming the army formation are very high, and it takes dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people to do it!
The terracotta warriors and horses are essentially just pottery warriors with residual spirits, without even blood, can they also arrange "army formations"?

"Ordinary army formations are really not good, but Liang knows that an army formation can use the 'power of heaven and earth' itself... Even the terracotta warriors and horses can rely on the 'army formation' to exert powerful lethality!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. He is also aware of this military formation..."

Zhuge Liang smiled on his face.

"Did Commander Zhuge mean the 'Eight Array Diagram'?"

Jia Xu's heart skipped a beat.

The Eight Diagrams, according to legend, is a battle formation transformed by Zhuge Liang on the basis of the "Bagua Diagram" of Sun Wu, the soldier sage.

Among the many military formations in ancient China, they are undoubtedly the most well-known ranks, especially in the world of Romance, Zhuge Liang trapped Lu Xun's [-] Soochow pursuers with only eighty or ninety piles of stones, which is even more impressive. Exquisite, unpredictable!
Not to mention, this is really an army formation built with "stones".

And after completing the cheat challenge, Jia Xu obtained the "Super Art of War" bestowed by the will of the earth on Zhuge Liang, which requires the formation of the "Eight Formation Diagram"!
"The "Eight Arrays" commanded by Zhuge are named after the sky, the earth, the wind, the cloud, the dragon, the tiger, the bird, and the snake. Among them, the sky, the earth, the wind, and the cloud are the "four positive arrays". Snakes are the "Four Wonders Formation"... A complete formation can not only mobilize the power of heaven, earth, and wind and cloud, but also condense the power of the four great beasts of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu..."

"Among the military formations that Jia Xu has seen so far, it is truly unrivaled..."

Jia Xu had an expression of admiration on his face.

Although this "Eight Array Diagram" is transformed by the will of the earth combined with the laws of the eternal land and the luck of the heroes themselves, it does not mean that Zhuge Liang's military attainments in history have completely surpassed him, but this set of "Eight Array Diagrams" alone "The various information and changes contained in it are indeed very helpful to him who is good at himself and the art of war.

"It's just that I think that even if it's just a preliminary layout of the eight formations, at least eight hundred super-soldiers who have transformed into mortals will be needed, and if the number of morphed soldiers in the territory is not enough, I will ignore it... I didn't consider that the 'terracotta warriors and horses' cloth can also be used." formation."

Jia Xu said in his mouth.

"Although the terracotta warriors and horses are just 'remnant spirits', it is precisely because of this that their thinking is extremely pure, and they can command consistently on the battlefield. As long as there is a commander who is proficient in battle formations, and a thousand terracotta warriors and horses are used to lay out the 'eight formations', even ten It is also difficult for foreign races to break through, and it is enough to protect the territory from harm..."

Zhuge Liang looked at Xia Tian, ​​with full confidence in his tone.

"Okay! In this way, we don't need to worry about the 'big army' manipulated by the mountain ghosts. We only need to consider how to wipe out the 'mountain ghosts' clan in one fell swoop, so that there will be no future troubles!"

There is some excitement on Xia Tian's face.

However, how to get rid of the mountain ghost is really not an easy problem.

It's not a question of the difference in top combat power. After the "baptism of the stars", plus this period of buffer territory, the number of people who have completed five transformations has increased to ten.

Including Wu Song, Hua Rong, Hua Tuo, Jia Xu... etc. have all stepped into the ranks of the fifth stage of transformation.

Although it is inferior to the mountain ghost in terms of quantity, it is obviously higher in quality. Relying on equipment that has been strengthened to gold quality, and at least one strange item in hand, even if there is a gap in physical fitness, it is enough to fight the mountain ghost head-on. !
It can even be said that it is not a problem for Zhao Yun alone to kill more than a dozen mountain ghosts of the same level theoretically!

The real question is how to defeat these mountain ghosts and at the same time wipe them out as much as possible?
As high-level alien races, these mountain ghosts are very strong in physique, amazing in recovery ability, and hard to kill. Once the battle situation is not right, they only need to escape into the wilderness jungle and rely on their own "cursed blood", and they will become climate again in a short time!
"Liang is ashamed. Apart from the original army formation, this 'Eight Arrays' has also evolved into Liang's 'Natural Ability' in this eternal place. I am somewhat sure of keeping the lives of these mountain ghosts on the battlefield. superior……"

After knowing the worry in Xia Tian's heart, Zhuge Liang shook his black and white feather fan slightly, and said again.

"Well, supernatural powers? Yes, supernatural powers!"

Xia Tian almost forgot.

Zhuge Liang is a "Yubai" hero who has "supernatural powers" like him.

Moreover, as a top-notch superhero, Zhuge Liang's magical powers are absolutely extraordinary!
"Liang's supernatural power is divided into two abilities, 'ghost and god'... Among them, the ability of 'ghost' is..."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face.

……

【Eight Arrays (Jade White)】

[Type] supernatural powers

[Characteristics] 1. Eight Arrays·Ghosts (create an array, temporarily isolate the creatures within its range from the real space, and turn them into a state of "nothingness", which can be used to siege enemies, or use to avoid harm). 2. Eight Arrays·God (It takes a certain amount of time and pre-arrangement to send people, things, and things within the coverage of the Eight Arrays at a fixed point, and it takes a long time to recover after use)
[Explanation] The special ability bestowed by the Will of the Earth on a "Human Race Prodigy" has been recognized by the Eternal Land.

[Remarks] As a supernatural power, it can be further changed with the improvement of its own strength and grade!
……

"Eight diagrams of gods and ghosts?"

Zhuge Liang revealed his supernatural powers, which moved the expressions of the rest of the people.

You must know that supernatural powers are originally their own secrets, and even the lord's "eyes of insight" cannot directly detect them. Once exposed and known by others, it is inevitable that they will be prepared and even targeted.

However, Zhuge Liang obviously didn't care too much.

After all, the will of the earth endowed itself with supernatural powers to enhance the strength of the human race, and not use them for the sake of keeping secrets, so what's the point?
"It turned out to be a supernatural power of the 'space' type, which is of great help to the territory!"

While Xia Tian lamented Zhuge Liang's selflessness, he felt even more excited in his heart.

Space, time, fate... These supernatural powers are all top-level supernatural powers. If you simply compare the effects, Zhuge Liang's supernatural powers seem to be no more powerful than his own "natal blood"!
After all, the "Blood of Life" can not only restore all states, but also can achieve remote rebirth against the heavens...

But you must know that the "blood of life" is only useful to himself, and the magical powers mastered by Zhuge Liang can also be effective on the people around him.

For example, on the battlefield, when the enemy came down with an extremely powerful killer's mace, Zhuge Liang lightly turned on the "Eight Arrays·Ghosts" with a feather fan in his hand, so that all the people around him were in a "virtual" state.

Immediately, by attacking and locating the opponent's position, using the teleportation ability of "Eight Arrays God" to directly teleport the elite of the territory to the opponent's base camp... This space magical power is used well enough to allow the territory to have tactical space against any enemy, completely It can be used as a trump card for the territory.

"It just so happens that I also have a treasure in my hand. After using it, it shouldn't be a problem to kill dozens of mountain ghosts."

Xia Tian said to the three with a smile on his face.

Of course the treasure in his mouth refers to the "Yellow Turban Warrior Summoning Talisman".

If the 36 yellow scarf warriors of the fifth stage of metamorphosis are paired with the "Tiangang Magic Formation", if they cooperate with Zhuge Liang's "supernatural powers"... In this battle, the victory is not very sure, at least [-]%!

The remaining [-]% ​​is up to the mountain ghost.

For example, how many are there?
Is there any hidden power in the so-called "secret realm" that has not been revealed? Will these high-level alien races also have some powerful cards?

"These need to be understood before starting the war!"

Xia Tian tapped his fingers and said.

"The mountain ghost's defense of the "secret realm" is very strict, Deputy Commander Shen and the others dare not get too close! Therefore, no information about the secret realm has been collected yet."

Li Ru stood up and spoke, with a little shame on his face.

After all, I am in charge of the "intelligence department" of the territory, but I haven't even figured out the core intelligence of the biggest opponent yet.

"It doesn't matter, it's right to be careful in the scout camp. Only by living can we explore more information. The life of my human race is much more precious than that of mountain ghosts!"

"As far as it is concerned, it has performed well. As for the detailed information on the mountain ghost side, don't we still have two captives...Let Commander Wu interrogate the two mountain ghosts captured by me first. If they don't cooperate If so, I have a rare treasure in my hand that is enough for them to 'voluntarily' open their mouths. That is, there may be some waste..."

Xia Tian's mind fell into the lord's space.

It was concentrated on two "beetles" that were cast like gold, with delicate limbs and tentacles!
【Holy Gold Beetle (Silver)】

【Type】Exotic Treasure

[Characteristics] Puppet Heart (can replace the heart of a creature, and the consciousness of the creature after being replaced will be controlled by the owner of the 'Holy Gold Beetle')

[Description] A rare treasure with very rare attributes.

[Remarks] The upper limit of the controlled person's level is silver, and the upper limit of the level is the metamorphosis level. After being controlled, the potential will not be affected.
