Chapter 467: Immortal Master's Strategy and Method of Breaking the Formation
Chapter 467: Immortal Master's Strategy and Method of Breaking the Formation
After leaving the range of the magic circle, Xiao Jie and Chen Tianwen did not speak.
They walked forward silently, each thinking about something.
After a long while, Xiao Jie finally couldn't help but sigh: "This battle is not easy to fight."
It is indeed difficult to fight. I had thought that I could defeat these three world bosses one by one. No matter how strong you are, we have four masters here, plus a bunch of players who are here to take advantage of us, so we will definitely win.
But I didn't expect that, from what Wang Xie and Long Wushang said, these two world bosses would work together to defend their home. What the hell is this?
What's even more terrible is that another world BOSS, the North Sea Demon Dragon, has not appeared. Xiao Jie had previously speculated that the North Sea Demon Dragon is very likely Long Wushang's summoned beast, mount, or guardian beast. In other words, if a real fight breaks out, it is very likely that these three world BOSSes will appear together.
Is there any way to fight this shit?
Although the Jiuzhou coalition has four great immortals, Xiao Jie has seen their strength before. Compared with the world bosses of the same level, they are still much weaker. Before, it was a bit difficult to deal with the two world bosses in their early fifties, four against one. Now it's four against three, and they are three top-level world bosses. It's simply a feast for the eyes.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie had already decided in his heart that if the coalition forces wanted to use the decapitation tactic this time, he would not participate no matter what.
However, this investigation made him discover many suspicious points. Why did those magic runes appear in the magic circle? And they looked like part of the magic circle. Wang Xie clearly had some trick up his sleeve.
Moreover, Wang Xie had clearly said that he would overturn the chessboard and smash the chess pieces. So when he and Long Wushang joined forces to defeat the enemy, was that the so-called overturning of the chessboard? It didn't seem that simple.
Xiao Jie always felt that there was something else going on behind Wang Xie's back, but there was too little information to make a judgement.
Hearing Xiao Jie sigh, Chen Tianwen smiled and said, "Haha, what's so difficult about fighting? I think there is much we can do in this battle." Chen Tianwen's tone was unexpectedly relaxed, which made Xiao Jie subconsciously feel that Chen Tianwen seemed to have grasped information that he didn't know.
"Master Chen, why are you so confident? Did you see some flaws?"
"There is indeed a flaw. Let's go back and talk about it."
Half an hour later, the two returned to the coalition camp.
Now the troops of the three states have already fought their way to the borders of each state, and assembled a large army at the junction of the three states. There are not only the main armies of the three states, but also troops from the Ritian Kingdom and the Longxiang Kingdom, as well as special envoys from other states. Behind the camp, a new Qiankun Shifting Array has been built, which will allow them to teleport reinforcements from the remaining states as soon as the war starts, and launch a joint attack.
Players are naturally indispensable as well. There are always players accepting and handing in tasks from NPC officers in various camps, such as investigating the enemy situation, assassinating enemy generals, eliminating enemy spies, collecting materials, building armaments... There are countless tasks.
Whether you are a combat player or a life player, everyone can participate.
Not only are the mission rewards generous, but each mission also provides Jiuzhou reputation. This reputation is shared by Jiuzhou. In other words, one reputation can be used throughout Jiuzhou, which is very cost-effective.
Xiao Jie is the prime minister of Longxiang State (a newly appointed official position), and Wentian Wuji is the military advisor of this coalition force. Naturally, the two of them had unimpeded access and entered the coalition camp. At this moment, the governors of the three states, the generals of the six armies, the special envoys of each state, as well as the top leaders of Ritian State and Longxiang State were all holding a meeting here.
This meeting will last for several days, and it will continue as long as the war has not started.
From time to time, players come to submit tasks to investigate the enemy situation.
The task of investigating the enemy's formation is one of the most difficult tasks. As long as you obtain some information, you can exchange it for military rewards, so those who take it are all experts.
When the two walked in, they happened to see several people from the Hunting Wind Brigade crying to General Longxiong of Liuhuo State.
"Woo woo woo, my brothers and I risked our lives to complete the reconnaissance mission. The general cannot cross the river and destroy the bridge."
"Don't be sad, brave men. Our coalition army will never let down our meritorious officials. The man who died heroically will be sent to the Martyrs' Shrine to be worshipped by the world. Your heroic performance will also be rewarded. Based on your performance in the mission, you will receive the following rewards..."
After hearing this, those people stopped crying immediately. The Wind Hunting Brigade was different from other large guilds that formed their team cores offline. They were all composed of individual players. Although they had good relationships on weekdays, they were not that close. If teammates died, they died. The rewards were real.
The reason for crying out loud is to get more rewards - if you complete a mission while a teammate is killed, you can get 20% more reputation and money rewards.
Xiao Jie was speechless watching the performance of several people. He looked around but did not find any fondant steamed cake. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
Wait a minute, that unlucky guy who was shot dead by an arrow couldn't be——
Xiao Jie subconsciously sent a private message about the fondant steamed cake.
【System prompt: The person you sent a private message to does not exist. 】
Damn, it really is him.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the relationship between the two was average, they had formed a team after all, so they were considered acquaintances. Before, Fantang Fagao said that he had found a way to win and the secret of immortality, but he didn't expect that he would give it up in less than two days.
Things are impermanent.
Xiao Jie felt emotional, but did not stop. The two of them walked straight into the big tent.
In the middle of the tent, there was a huge sand table, on which was a map of Qiansong City and its surroundings.
The formation diagram of the Ten Absolute Formations was also included in it, but the model map on the sand table was sparse and incomplete.
In the camp, in addition to the three governors, four real people, and several generals leading the troops, there were also several players led by Long Xing Tian Xia and Supreme Emperor. Ordinary players could not enter such an important military base. Only large guilds that had established a country, such as Long Xing Tian Xia and Supreme Emperor, were qualified to participate.
A general suddenly walked in from outside.
"My lords, another spy has sent back information about the great battle formation." He walked to the sand table and gestured with his hands twice, and the map model on the sand table immediately added a lot of details.
So that's how it is... Xiao Jie immediately understood the principle. As long as the player walked around the Ten Absolute Formations, scouted some map information, and came back to submit the task, the corresponding terrain scene would appear on the sand table.
The more people involved in the investigation, the more detailed the sand table map will be, which is quite clever.
The two men walked to the sand table, and Chen Tianwen also gestured at the sand table twice. Many images suddenly appeared in the missing position in the center of the sand table.
Including the altar and the defense system around the altar.
When Long Hua Zhenren saw this, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist."
"Well, since we want to break this formation, we naturally have to observe it closely." After saying this, he observed the sand table for a while, "It's a pity that there are still many details missing. If we can't see the whole formation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the mystery."
As he was speaking, another person came in from outside.
"My Lords, another spy has sent back information about the great formation."
After gesturing at the sand table for a while, this time, the outline of the entire formation instantly appeared on the sand table. The entire map of the Ten Absolute Formations was almost clearly visible, and many missing details were now complete.
Xiao Jie immediately realized that this should be the map intelligence submitted by the Hunting Wind Brigade. The efficiency of aerial reconnaissance is really high.
Seeing that the sand table was completed, everyone gathered around.
The governor of Fengyin Prefecture stroked his beard and smiled, "Great, great, with this map, we can see everything the enemy is doing. This battle will be twice as effective with half the effort. Everyone, please watch carefully. Can you see the mystery of this formation?"
The four real people all watched attentively, and the more they watched, the more they frowned.
Taoist Long Hua frowned and said, "What a ferocious formation! This is the first time I have seen such a mysterious formation."
True Man Qingfeng also sighed, "That Wang Xie is indeed quite capable, but this formation is the first time I've seen it, it's really powerful, it's very difficult to break it."
Master Mingyue remained silent. He knew nothing about the battle formation and had no idea what was going on.
Venerable Chimei also shook his head and sighed, obviously also stumped.
The Supreme Emperor could not help but say, "Why bother breaking the formation? Can't we just go around it? We can attack Chuyun City directly, or simply cut off their food supply, and the enemy will naturally collapse without a fight."
Izumo Castle is the capital of Beiming Province, so theoretically it is possible to attack from a detour.
Or block the food supply of Long Wushang’s army.
The problem is that this is a game, and people can directly earn resources.
Of course, that's not the case.
Longhua Prefecture Governor shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. The enemy has more than 100,000 troops. Our coalition forces are not subordinate to each other, and many of them are borrowed temporarily. If we attack for a long time, these troops will not last long.
Moreover, if we bypass Qiansong City, what should we do if the enemy cuts off our food supply?"
Long Xing Tianxia said: "Then can we attack head-on? Gather a large number of crossbow carts, catapults, and thunderbolt carts, and launch a long-range attack from the outside. No matter what kind of formation it is, we can just push the formation plate and it will be over."
A general shook his head and said, "No, this formation is well-defended and has a complete defense system. If we use a long-range attack, the battle will probably be protracted."
True Man Qingfeng also said: "Once such a large formation is in operation, there is no telling how many mysterious functions it will have. It is definitely not something that can be destroyed by ordinary people's equipment."
Xiao Jie immediately remembered the strategic-level spells used by both sides during the battle of Luoxue Valley.
There is an altar in the center of this Ten Absolute Formation. Wang Xie is a level 58 demon in troubled times, so who knows how powerful his strategic-level spells must be. If they really want to engage in a long-range bombardment, no siege weapon can withstand the meteorites and lightning falling from the sky.
Someone else suggested, "Why not use the original tactics, with four real people leading the team, gathering heroes and heroes, assembling a team, and flying directly into the formation. As long as we take the head of Long Wushang and kill the demon Wang Xie, the formation will naturally collapse without a fight."
After hearing this, the four real people looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing how to start.
However, the governor of Fengyin Prefecture hurriedly said, "No, Long Wushang is extremely powerful, and he is assisted by the demon Wang Xie, whose strength is unfathomable. In addition, the main formation is heavily guarded, with countless elite soldiers and generals. If we send a small number of experts to rush in, the whole army will be destroyed.
You are the pillars of my Nine Provinces, so you must not take risks lightly."
The four real men nodded immediately.
Mingyue Zhenren tried to save his dignity by saying, "In fact, with the strength of the four of us, it is not difficult to eliminate the demon. However, there are countless soldiers in the formation, and it will be difficult for us to fight the demon at the same time.
Unless we have the help of a large army, we will have no chance of winning."
This is true. It is impossible to defeat the two world bosses and countless monsters, unless you can send in a large army and cooperate with the four real people and the players, there will be a chance of winning. The role of this army is naturally to act as cannon fodder. If you can't win, you can also use them as a scapegoat to escape.
However, it is possible to fly in dozens or hundreds of people, but it is obviously unrealistic to bring in tens of thousands of troops.
If you charge directly into the formation, you will naturally fall into the enemy's trap. The purpose of this formation is to trap and kill the army. The enemy is well-rested and waiting for you to tire yourself out. If you use the formation to fight back, even if you have an army of 200,000, you may not be able to gain any advantage.
Seeing that neither of these options were feasible, everyone was hesitating.
Suddenly a light laugh was heard in the big tent.
"Why sigh, everyone? Although this formation is a bit dangerous, it is not difficult to break it."
Chen Tianwen's just one question attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Jie was slightly stunned, thinking, is Chen Tianwen so awesome? Although he is a Qimen Immortal Master, a top-level wizard, Wang Xie is a level 58 world-class BOSS. How could Chen Tianwen break the formation he set up so easily?
real or fake?
Chen Tianwen said at this time: "This formation is called the Ten Absolute Formations. It looks like one formation, but it is actually divided into ten formations. Nine of them are guest formations, and one is the main formation. The main formation is located in the center of the formation. Long Wushang and Wang Xie will be stationed in the main formation, dispatching troops and controlling the operation and changes of the formation.
These ten formations are closely linked to each other, containing the changes of the five elements, the mysteries of the six combinations, and are full of murderous intentions and changes.
However, the formation is a dead thing, and although it has many changes, it will eventually be exhausted. Understand its principles, discern the key points, and the gates of life and death are all in one mind. Although the Ten Absolute Formations are mysterious, when I look at this formation, it is like looking at the lines on the palm of my hand, and I can see the real and the fake.
These ten formations are arranged according to the Heavenly Stems and divided into Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui.
The five elements are used as the basis for changes and are divided into the positive five elements formation and the negative five elements formation, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining.
The Heavenly Stems rotate, and the Five Elements are reversed… When Jia Wood meets Geng Metal, it must be the Gate of Death; when Bing Fire meets Ren Water, it must be the Gate of Shock… When Wu Earth is in the middle, it looks like the Gate of Life, but it is actually bait to lure you into a trap…”
"If an army attacks the Yi Wood Formation, it will cause changes in the Xin Fire Formation and the Bing Fire Formation. As the saying goes, the Fire Sky is Great and the Wood Ze is Turned to Ashes. This army will be severely damaged, but it can create a glimmer of hope for our army to win the next battle.
At this time, send an army to attack the Renshui formation, causing changes in the Jiamu formation, and then attack the Guishui formation to disrupt the enemy's situation. As long as the soldiers in the Jiamu formation are not completely wiped out, the enemy will fall into a state of being caught in a dilemma.
At this time, the Ten Absolute Formations will reveal a flaw, but this flaw is a bait. If you send your troops in without knowing the truth, you will surely die.
We should send a dead army into the formation to lure the enemy, and when the Gengjin and Dingjin formations are activated, the real flaw will be revealed. The so-called fire and thunder will help, and the heaven and earth will move. At this time, we can use one army to attack the Jiamu formation, and another army to attack the Xinhuo formation. In this way, the positive and negative five elements cannot be generated, and the enemy cannot take care of the head and tail. Then our army can use its main force to directly capture the enemy's main formation. "
Chen Tianwen kept talking and Xiao Jie was confused. What was he saying?
He looked at the complicated battle formation on the sand table but couldn't make any sense of it.
In his eyes, the large formation on the sand table was nothing more than a strange defense system composed of countless complicated fortifications.
What are the ten formations and the five elements changes? I don't understand them at all.
Looking at the people around, the generals looked confused, the three state governors looked deep in thought, and the players were even more stunned.
Only True Man Qingfeng and True Man Longhua stroked their beards, concentrated, and nodded repeatedly.
Taoist Longhua bowed slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Wentian is indeed a student of the gods. I can observe three or four aspects of this formation, but I cannot count all the changes in it. Fellow Daoist Wentian actually found a way to break the formation so quickly. I really admire him."
True Man Qingfeng also nodded repeatedly, "If so, we may give it a try, but the demon Wang Xie and Long Wushang are guarding the main formation together. I'm afraid that the four of us alone may not be able to accomplish the task. We should recruit heroes to join us in this great undertaking."
"Haha, speaking of heroes, how can I be missing from such a big battle." A cold voice came from outside the tent. Everyone turned around and saw Master Xiaoyue, dressed in silver armor, striding in.
