Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"I'm going to check on the situation." Tangning didn't want to stay in this dead and dull room, so she got up and went out. There were seven or eight monks standing or sitting cross-legged in the outer control room, all bowing to him.

"Have you received any news?"

Several people shook their heads.

Tang Ning then came to the deck of the warship and looked up. They were all warships of the 9th Regiment, standing side by side.

At this moment, a ray of light shot out from a distance and came straight to the warship, where a thin man appeared. Tangning recognized that he was the messenger beside Zhuang Qiusheng, so she went up to him: "But did Senior Zhuang have an order?"

"Yes, Senior Zhuang ordered all the managers of your unit to go to the meeting hall to assemble immediately."

"What's the situation outside now?"

"The rebels have broken through the outer light curtain. They have all invaded the formation and are in the process of breaking it."

"All? Everyone is in the formation?"

"yes."

"When the enemy attacked the defensive light curtain, did Senior Zhuang lead his troops to stop the enemy?"

"No."

"Okay, go ahead! Fellow Daoist Qi and other fellow Daoists are in the cabin."

The man walked into the cabin, and Tang Ning stood there, thoughts racing in her mind. Zhuang Qiusheng did not lead his troops to harass the enemy troops in Mubei, and now he hurriedly summoned everyone, so he must be using the power of the formation to fight with the enemy in the formation. The army competed.

It seems that his will to defend the formation is not strong, otherwise he will do everything possible to prevent the enemy from breaking the formation and delay time. As early as when the enemy attacks the defensive light curtain, he will organize manpower to counterattack. Now he places all his hopes on the defense of the formation. Go up, want to decide the outcome in a battle, the intention is very obvious.

If the enemy in the formation can be severely damaged, then the formation can be defended. If the battle is unfavorable, then simply give up the formation and trap the enemy in the formation, making it easier for you to evacuate safely.

Although this decision seems slightly disregarding the overall situation, it is undoubtedly the wisest and can greatly reduce casualties.

If we really want to hold on to this formation at all costs, the casualties will definitely be huge, and there is no definite date when reinforcements will arrive. Facing almost twice the enemy force, it is obviously unwise to hold on.

There is no point in killing more than half of them.

Qianyuan City divided its troops and stationed everyone in Chaoyang Valley in order to attract enemy troops. To put it bluntly, it used everyone as cannon fodder to reduce the pressure on Qianyuan City.

…

The cabin door behind him creaked open, and Qi Yue and others came out. Everyone jumped into the sky, and after a while, they came to the meeting hall. Inside, Zhuang Qiusheng was sitting high in the chair, and the stewards of the ninth and twelfth regiments were below. Already standing in the hall, Tang Ning and others stepped forward and bowed before retreating into the crowd.

Zhuang Qiusheng glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The enemy has broken through the formation's outer defense screen and has now all entered the formation. Success or failure depends on this. Only with the power of the large formation can we have a chance of victory. At this time of life and death, you must work together to inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

"Junior is willing to do his best."

"Junior is willing to do his best."

"Junior is willing to do his best."

No one in the hall shouted first, and then the voices started to fall one after another.

"Very good. I have been keeping my troops stationary before to restrain my sharpness. It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only use it for a while. Now it's time for you to show off your skills and make a name for yourself."

"Although the number of enemy troops is large, we rely on the large formation and are not without the strength to fight. What I say is by no means a comforting statement."

"As you all know, the enemy has dispatched five regiments to attack this time, and all of them have entered the formation at this moment. As far as I can tell from my observation on the formation board, the enemy has only five Void Refining monks."

"With the power of this formation, one or two Void Refining monks can be held back, and with the combat power of the Wind Spirit Ship, it can also defeat one person. Based on this calculation, the enemy can only use two or three Void Refining monks at most. , I, Fellow Daoist Mo, and Fellow Daoist Jiang can definitely defeat him."

"In short, you don't have to worry about the enemy's Void Refining monks being disadvantageous to you. Just attack most of the enemy's army with all your strength. With the help of formations, I believe that as long as you have the courage and determination to break the cauldron, you will be able to defeat the enemy."

"I promise you in the name of the coalition forces and personally, no matter who it is, as long as the general can make meritorious service in this battle, I will immediately propose to the coalition forces to promote him and give him a heavy reward."

"You all should return to your headquarters immediately, assemble your team, come to the front of the palace and wait for orders, and follow me into the formation later."

"Yes." Everyone accepted the order in unison, turned around and left the hall, turning into light and leaving.

………

Gray mist shrouded the sky and the earth. As the warship was sailing, suddenly, black lava surged in front of the sky. The mighty lava was like a long river, rushing towards it with an astonishing momentum.

More than a dozen light-escape figures flashed and stood in front of many warships. Everyone used their magical powers. Some people crushed the talismans, some made seals with their hands, and some pulled out magic weapons. All kinds of rays of light intertwined, forming huge... shield.

The overwhelming black lava rushed towards various shields, and was blocked or absorbed by the shields one after another.

The black lava came one after another and lasted for a stick of incense. The shields used by several people could not hold on. They were twisted and deformed and on the verge of breaking. Seeing that they were about to lose their support, a group of more than a dozen people came up one after another and replaced the first batch. Monk.

As time goes by, the black magma gradually disappears.

In the center of the warship's starry surroundings, the man surnamed Chu held a blood-colored orb above his head, which glowed brightly and slowly rotated, with many obscure runes flowing on it.

Beside the man, Jiang Taixuan and several other column stewards stood around as if facing a formidable enemy, protecting the Blood Orb.

Many warships also moved slowly along with the speed of the blood bead. After a short time, the blood-colored bead suddenly stopped moving.

The man surnamed Chu made a move in his hand, and the blood beads immediately returned to his hand. Picture-like symbols flowed on them. The man looked at them for a long time, and then a seal was formed in his hand. The characters on the blood beads emerged one by one. came out, circling and flying around like headless flies, and finally gathered on the ground, as if they were firmly attracted. Hundreds of tiny characters rushed to that place one after another.

"A position has been determined." The man surnamed Chu stepped forward and made red marks there.

Just as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud rumbling sound, and hundreds of black thunder and lightning struck down like dragons and snakes, instantly swamping a Xuanling ship, and the defensive light curtain on the Xuanling ship was shattered in the blink of an eye. , everyone else and the Xuanling Ship were shattered into pieces in the black sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

The black thunder and lightning appeared for less than ten seconds before suddenly disappearing without a trace, as if everything was an illusion and had never existed. Only the fragments of the Xuanling Ship and the flesh and blood wreckage that were torn apart there proved this fleeting reality. .

Jiang Taixuan frowned slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chu, how long will it take for us to break the formation? So far we have lost many warships, but we haven't even determined the location of an formation altar."

The man surnamed Chu was contemptuous in his heart, but his face remained calm: "This is a sixth-level formation. If it can be broken so easily, it wouldn't be called a sixth-level formation."

The man with slender eyes and long beard asked: "Fellow Daoist Chu, are there any rules to follow for this large formation restriction? Can we avoid it as much as possible?"

"Some large formation restrictions are random, and some are designated. Like the black thunder and lightning just now, it is designated and can only be activated in a specific area."

"So, subsequent bans like this will still be inevitable?"

"Yes, unless we can crack this formation, forbidden attacks will continue to appear, but each forbidden attack will cause a certain amount of energy consumption in the formation."

"Since some forbidden attacks can only be triggered in specific areas, Brother Chu, do you think it would be safer to move the low-level warships and monks to a safe location and let them stay there. "

"It's useless. The person who controls the formation can launch random bans at every location at any time, just like the black lava attack just now. Without the protection of high-level monks, Nascent Soul-level monks can't stop it at all."

"Then can we send some of the god-forming monks to stay in place and take charge of guarding?"

"I don't recommend this. Under the full attack of the sixth-level formation, the God Transformation monks cannot stop us. Once we are far away from here, the people who control the formation are likely to launch a large-scale forbidden attack. The low-level warships left behind will then There is a risk of the whole army being annihilated. In fact, they can only ensure safety by following us, so I say it is not a wise choice to let all the low-level monks enter the formation."

…

Outside the meeting hall, many warships were suspended. Following Zhuang Qiusheng's order, many warships filed towards the main formation altar, where a huge light gate appeared.

As the mermaids passed through the light gate, the world immediately changed, and the surroundings were filled with gray mist.

The warship moved forward for a while, and a faint light could be seen in front of it.

In the cabin of the Ninth Wing's Fengling Ship, a voice suddenly sounded in front of the control panel: The Ninth Wing heard the order. Your troops will go around from the left and attack the enemy's flank. Please reply if you hear this.

"The Ninth Regiment takes the order." Qi Yue immediately reported back: "Order each brigade to immediately turn the helm and go around from the left."

"Yes." A person next to him responded, and connected to the intercoms of the warships in each brigade to convey the order.

Many warships soon separated from the main force and headed towards the left wing.

The enemy army has obviously also discovered the movement of the coalition forces. They saw rays of light coming towards this side from the opponent's camp, and the two sides were getting closer and closer.
