Chapter 565: Ning Zhuo Joins the Battle
Chapter 565: Ning Zhuo Joins the Battle
The offensive and defensive battle surrounding the two countries' front-line camps has now entered a white-hot stage.
The Thousand Peaks Forest Allied Forces and the armies of the two nations were like a battle between two giants. It had already reached the dangerous moment of hand-to-hand combat and bloody bayonets.
This is a chaotic battlefield.
In some places, the armies were in a state of disarray, while in other places one side had a clear advantage.
Half of the defense line built by the two countries' armies around the city wall has collapsed.
Although most of the city wall remained, the defense line on the other side had collapsed under the attack of Lord Long and Lu Hongtu. A large number of monks and soldiers from the Qianfenglin coalition followed the gap in the defense line and poured into this military camp that was painstakingly built at great expense.
The shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and the explosions shook the sky.
Countless spells intertwined with each other, forming a dazzling, brilliant colorful light, gorgeous and deadly.
A large number of weapons and magic tools collided with each other, and in the most intense competition, the winner was decided in an instant.
And often the difference between high and low is the difference between life and death!
Whether it was the two Zhu countries or the Qianfenglin coalition, the number of casualties increased rapidly.
The two sides entered a stalemate, resulting in extremely brutal consumption of energy. Every moment, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground and lost their lives.
If there were a master of military strategy or a talented commander, he would certainly sneer at this battle scene.
The two sides fought fiercely, but without any military strategy.
Lord Long is the priest of the Dragon King Temple. He is powerful but not proficient in military tactics.
The commander of the two countries, Du Tiechuan, was indeed powerful, but he was recovering from his injuries and never showed up.
It was precisely because of his shortcomings that the two Zhu countries and the Qianfenglin coalition forces failed to show their military advantages in the full-scale confrontation, which was like eight ounces against half a pound.
In a valley far away from the battlefield, ripples suddenly appeared in the calm space.
A young man in white appeared out of nowhere, wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, as white as clouds. His facial features were handsome, his eyes were clear and black and white, and he was full of fighting spirit at this moment.
It is precisely Ning Chuang.
He came out of the Wanli Swimming Dragon and stretched out his hand. A small insect-like mechanical dragon quickly enlarged and became like a small snake. It actively wrapped around Ning Zhuo's waist, circled around him, and bit his head and tail together, acting as a belt.
"After participating in the war between the two countries, I finally found an opportunity to attack the mechanical carriage."
Ning Zhuo was not calm, but secretly excited.
He and Sun Lingtong had once taken an adventure before and tried to explore the Six Caves Sect’s headquarters, but were discovered and escaped with a narrow escape.
After that, he dared not take risks. After all, someone as smart as Lu Hongtu would definitely take targeted precautions.
It would be foolish to make the same mistake again.
"Now is my best time."
"There is no need to take risks by going to the Six Cave Sect's lair. Almost all of the Six Cave Sect has gone out in full force. Even the Demon Heart Cave Master is in a fierce battle, so his energy is being diverted."
Ning Zhuo joined the army just to be on the front line and find the opportunity to take action at the first moment.
He spent time and patience, and finally waited for this moment.
There is no way.
His cultivation and strength are relatively weak, and only by taking advantage of the situation can he have a chance to obtain the magic-level mechanical carriage from the giant Liudong Sect.
"The threat from the twin ghosts of heaven and earth will grow greater over time."
"Perhaps, this is my first and last chance to take action."
"Once I make a move and my attempt fails, my true intentions towards the mechanical carriage will be exposed, and it will be difficult in the future."
"With a strategy like Lu Hongtu, he will definitely use the mechanical carriage to set a trap for me!"
When Ning Zhuo thought of this, his fighting spirit became even more determined, and the desire to fight began to burn in his heart like fire.
He took out mechanical dolls one by one from his storage bag.
Soon, more than 400 mechanical puppets gathered around him to form a mechanical army.
Ning Zhuo took out another piece of mechanical armor of the magic weapon level.
This armor is bronze in color, majestic and heavy, giving people a sense of hardness and strength. However, its rounded lines and elegant curves give people a sense of compassion and tolerance.
The forehead of the helmet is slightly raised, with a circular halo, like the image of an arhat. The helmet has horns on both sides, like ox horns.
The front of the breastplate depicts a statue of an Arhat, which contains the magic circle that the Arhat guards.
Six mechanical arms extended from the back of the mecha, all made of bronze. Along the arms, golden lines appeared one after another, and the internal structure was shining with rich golden Buddha light.
It is the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor!
This was a gift Mulan gave to Ning Zhuo. When he received it, it was only half a body of heavy armor.
But now, the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor has become a full body armor, and its incomplete lower body has been supplemented by Ning Zhuo.
"Although the lower body was temporarily supplemented by three mechanical pedestals, it is obvious that the lower body was only hastily put together."
"Not only is it totally inconsistent with the upper body, it's just for show, and even in terms of protection, it's not even 30% as good as the upper body."
Ning Zhuo's main job is to disguise himself.
He tried hard to make the lower half of his armor look similar to the upper half, at least there was no difference in style or aura.
"Boss, look at me." Ning Zhuo's expression was somewhat excited.
"Ah?" Sun Lingtong was in the dragon head cabin, looking confused.
Ning Zhuo raised his arms high and shouted to the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor: "Hundred-Armed Arhat, armor covers your body!"
The next moment, the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor flew to Ning Zhuo's body and separated into upper and lower parts.
The upper part flew to the top of Ning Zhuo's head and slowly fell down, covering the inside of the armor. The lower part split apart with a crackle, forming the front and back halves of the mechanical armor.
The two parts of the mechanical armor separated, one part flew in front of Ning Zhuo, and the other part flew behind him. After wrapping Ning Zhuo's lower body, they combined with each other and buckled tightly, and everything fit perfectly.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Sun Lingtong opened his mouth wide, his eyes sparkling with stars, and he kept making noises in excitement.
"So handsome, so handsome!" Sun Lingtong shouted. All his attention was drawn to him for a moment, and he no longer felt the nervousness he had before the battle.
He jumped up in the dragon head cabin: "You little bastard, you did this without telling me. I want one too, I want one too!"
He wished he could replace Ning Zhuo right now, have a set of mechanical armor, and be able to stand in front of the armor. After shouting, the armor would automatically cover his body.
"Hahahaha!" Ning Zhuo imitated Sun Lingtong's posture, put his hands on his hips, and laughed out loud with his head raised.
"Boss, this is the benefit of practicing mechanical arts." Ning Zhuo was very happy as he showed off his success.
Sun Lingtong laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, after this battle, hurry up and get yourself a set, otherwise I won't let you go!"
He then sighed sincerely, "I don't think the art of mechanical engineering should be the last of the hundred arts of cultivation. Just based on what I just said, it should be the first of the hundred arts."
"Don't worry, boss. I'm here. I will design a set of mechanical armor specifically for you, which will definitely satisfy you." Ning Zhuo patted his chest.
Sun Lingtong: "Humph, if you don't satisfy me, I will never forgive you."
"Xiao Zhuo, you fight well."
"This battle will be fought with great force."
"With your talent and ability, if you practice hard, you can carry forward the art of mechanical engineering and change people's views on it. It may not be impossible for it to become the top art among all arts."
"If you can do it, you will go down in history. In the future, whenever the younger generation thinks of mechanical engineering, they will definitely think of you and give you a thumbs up in their hearts!"
Ning Zhuo quickly waved his hands and said modestly: "Boss, you think too highly of me. I still have a lot to learn and a lot of shortcomings."
Sun Lingtong: “Uh…”
Ning Zhuo put on the mechanical armor, placed himself in the mechanical army, and immediately set off for the battlefield.
The emergence of this new force did not attract widespread attention.
In the chaotic battlefield, the monks and the army were fighting each other.
Battle formation - Light body swift wind formation! The mechanical puppets formed a battle formation, and their speed suddenly increased, becoming extremely agile.
By now, Ning Zhuo had experienced many battles, both big and small, and was already familiar with activating this battle formation.
However, during the march, mechanical dolls would fall down from time to time.
"What is that?" Ning Zhuo was surprised.
In response, he heard the rustling sound of the poisonous insect.
These are the poisonous insects released by Li Jiuchong, which have spread all over the battlefield.
Ning Zhuo rushed to the battlefield and they were the first ones he encountered.
A gust of poisonous mist drifted over, and the mechanical puppets showed signs of corrosion. Some of the severely corroded ones fell to the ground and lost contact with Ning Zhuo.
A river of blood was split apart, and part of it, like a blood-red stream, ran through Ning Zhuo's group of mechanical puppets, causing more than twenty casualties.
From time to time, the sound of drums could be heard suddenly, shattering a dozen puppets in the front.
……
Before the battle even started, problems kept arising on the way to the battlefield, causing the army under Ning Zhuo's command to suffer continuous casualties.
Sun Ning and the other man were no longer as relaxed as they were when they were joking before, and both had serious expressions on their faces.
They had never seen such a situation since they joined the war!
It was fine to watch the battle before, but now they had to take the initiative to join the battle, which immediately made the two of them feel the extreme pressure.
Even Sun Lingtong had never experienced this, let alone Ning Zhuo who had been waiting in Huoshi Xiancheng for more than ten years.
The second major battle!
This is a war dominated by the God Transformation level, with the Nascent Soul as the general, and the Golden Core is just a middle-level combat force!
The war has entered the most brutal stage of confrontation, and it depends on which side will collapse first.
It is obvious that even if the winner wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory and will suffer heavy casualties.
"This is just a crusade within one country."
"The armies of the two countries are just newly formed armies, and the Qianfenglin side lacks military training." Sun Lingtong sighed sincerely.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "Yes. If it is really a war between cultivation countries, how grand would it be?"
While their spiritual consciousness was communicating, the mechanical army led by Ning Zhuo finally rushed to the battlefield and encountered the first group of enemies.
This is a group of barbarians who stick together and help each other.
Ning Zhuo rushed over and immediately put this group of barbarian cultivators in a predicament where they were attacked from both sides.
Ning Zhuo stretched out his hand and waved, and fire, earth and gold spells formed three waves of attacks, beating the barbarian cultivators so hard that they couldn't raise their heads.
Not many casualties were caused.
“Break out quickly!”
“The odds are stacked against us.”
"We can't be attacked from both sides, we have to fight our way out first."
The barbarian cultivators felt the crisis of defeat and destruction, and burst out with strong fighting spirit and offensive.
Ning Zhuo's mechanical army could not stop them, and a large number of mechanical puppets died on the way of the barbarians' desperate breakout.
Ning Zhuo glanced at them and ignored them, continuing to lead his troops deeper into the battlefield.
He will replace as many mechanical dolls as were lost.
Ning Zhuo is now extremely rich. With no shortage of financial resources, the mechanical pedestal has solved his production capacity problem, allowing him to stockpile a large number of mechanical dolls!
The Art of War - The Art of Recovery of the Warriors!
Ning Zhuo still hasn't fully understood this military strategy. After all, it is a combination of the generals and helmets and Gao Sheng's posthumous book, which is extremely exquisite and far beyond ordinary military strategies.
Although he has not fully understood it, it does not prevent Ning Zhuo from enjoying the benefits of this military strategy.
The more mechanical puppets are damaged, the more his strength increases.
By the time Ning Zhuo arrived at the battlefield and began to approach the middle, his combat power had already risen to the Golden Core level!
The number of monks who died at his hands was no less than two hundred.
Sun Lingtong also participated in the control of the mechanical puppet.
To date, Sun Ning and his companion have experienced many battles, and are now more skillful and decisive in controlling the mechanical puppets, and their combat abilities have been honed to the best of their abilities.
Keep charging.
From the periphery to the middle of the battlefield, Ning Zhuo clearly felt the resistance to charging skyrocket.
The marching speed of the agency army slowed down significantly.
The periphery of the battlefield is relatively spacious, and the gaps between various large and small battle groups are large enough for the mechanical army to shuttle between them.
But in the middle of the battlefield, the battle groups were much tighter, and the space for the enemy and us to fight was narrow. Ning Zhuo led the machine army, not only to break through the obstacles in front, but also to face occasional attacks from all directions.
"In the core area of the battlefield, I'm afraid our army will have a hard time!" Ning Zhuoxin thought.
Fortunately, he did not need to go deep into the core of the battlefield, that is, the two Zhuguo military camps, because Lin You himself was only in the middle of the battlefield.
Ning Zhuo led the mechanical army and rushed straight towards Lin You.
The barbarian cultivator Gu Ya was organizing a large wolf army to attack the city wall. Under the cover of his spiritual sense, he caught a glimpse of Ning Zhuo's mechanical army.
Ouch!
Gu Ya's heart moved, and not wanting to let the agency army show more, he made a small move.
The next moment, a small group of wolves separated from the pack and pounced on Ning Zhuo's mechanical army.
The wolves attacked from the side, coming and going as fast as the wind.
Sun Lingtong gave a warning in advance, and Ning Zhuo was shocked: "This is Gu Ya's true strength!"
Under tremendous pressure, Lone Fang fought with all his might. The wolf pack had never shown such strength and power before.
The agency troops were stationed in place, forming a group.
The wolves rushed in like a tide, and Ning Zhuo's mechanical army was like a bunker made of sand. Although the formation was very square, it was all just for show and collapsed at the first charge.
Although Ning Zhuo had expected this, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "There is not enough time. I haven't even learned the Iron Bucket Battle Formation yet."
He would replenish as many mechanical puppets as the number lost.
But there were so many wolves around that there was no space for Ning Zhuo to deploy his troops.
Looking down from the sky, the position occupied by Ning Zhuo was getting smaller and smaller.
It looked like it was about to be completely destroyed...
Roar!
Three fire dragons rose up and circled around, burning bones and flesh wherever they went.
The flames were raging, transforming the small battlefield area in an instant.
Ning Zhuo was wearing a mechanical armor and standing in the sea of fire, his body remained motionless, extremely conspicuous.
Beside him, three fire dragons were swimming freely in the sea of fire, roaring continuously.
Spell——Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Spell!
This spell is one of the most classic spells in the fire element and is famous throughout the world of cultivation.
The number of fire dragons increases according to the cultivator's cultivation level. Ning Zhuo only has foundation building cultivation level, so according to common sense, he can only condense two fire dragons.
But now he has obtained many levers such as mechanical arts and military tactics, and has reached the golden elixir level of combat power, so he has condensed three fire dragons across levels!
Many wolves were killed in the sea of fire and the burning of the fire dragon.
Ning Zhuo continued to charge.
With the help of the military strategy and the warrior restoration technique, his strength continues to rise!
