Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 38: Preparations Before the Big Battle! (Part 2)



Lin Feng's words indeed made everyone feel incredulous!

Not only make the Beastman Army come in vain, but also have them suffer heavy losses?

Even on the frontal battlefield, where four hundred thousand True Martial Country soldiers face off against an equal number of the Beastman Empire, no advantage is to be gained, often requiring twice the number of soldiers to achieve superiority.

But now, Moonfall City only had a stationed force of eighty thousand, minus the ten thousand casualties from Death Canyon, leaving less than seventy thousand combat-capable troops.

With a stark six to seven times disparity in troop numbers, no matter how this battle was to be fought, it couldn't possibly be a match for the Beastman Army, right?

It would be good enough not to suffer a crushing defeat!

Lin Feng looked at Huang Shilan and asked, "Do we have any large-scale siege weapons?"

Huang Shilan said, "We have giant crossbows, the kind that require twenty people to draw them. They can even kill large beasts, and there are a total of twenty of them with immense lethality."

"Good, deploy them all on the city walls, and in addition, have the archers stand by on the walls," Lin Feng said.

Huang Shilan had already witnessed Lin Feng perform too many miracles, so she took his words to heart without doubt and quickly gave the orders.

"Furthermore, I need a massive amount of materials, search through every shop and family in the city, and ensure these materials are fully prepared."

Lin Feng took out paper and pen from the Spirit Ring and swiftly wrote down hundreds of materials.

These materials were all precious Array Formation Materials!!

Lin Feng intended to undertake a world-shaking task, something inconceivable to most—a task to set up a large formation that would envelop the entire Moonfall City.

For average Spirit Array Masters, this was simply impossible, because such a gargantuan formation would demand too much from one's soul power.

Many would collapse before they could even complete the setup, and might be devoured by the backlash, dying tragically.

This sort of incident was not uncommon among Spirit Array Masters.

Yet, Lin Feng still decided to risk it, for his soul power had reached the Peak Level of Martial King.

At this level of soul power, could he support the completion of this formation?

Should it be successful, and the entire Moonfall City was enveloped by the large formation, by the time the more than four hundred thousand-strong Beastman Army arrived and the formation was activated to trap them, one could imagine the immense damage the Moonfall City Cultivators, attacking from the city walls, would inflict upon the Beastman Army.

This is why the Spirit Array Masters are the most revered profession across the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent.

Alchemists, Forging Masters, and the like could not compare to this profession.

Is it merely because of the various wonders of the Spirit Array Skill?

Of course not!

The most powerful aspect of Spirit Array Masters lies in setting up "Great Formations".

A Great Formation can trap tens of thousands!

A Great Formation can kill tens of thousands!

This is the truly terrifying aspect of Spirit Array Masters!

Lin Feng handed the paper with the needed materials written on it to Huang Shilan.

Huang Shilan then hurriedly commanded people to search for them.

In Moonfall City, all the shops, big and small, the major families, and the great forces contributed their spirit array materials without exception.

Because everyone knew that the moment of life and death had arrived.

If they couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Beastman Empire's army, once the city fell, the brutal nature of the Beastman Empire assured a massacre.

By then, over a million people within Moonfall City would meet a grisly end under the blades of the Beastman Empire.

After collecting the needed spirit array materials, Lin Feng began to busy himself.

Time was of the essence, with only a short day available, so Lin Feng couldn't afford to delay for a moment.

"Are there any Spirit Array Masters within these city walls? Have them come help me," Lin Feng said.

This massive undertaking, a spirit array covering the entire Moonfall City, was too difficult for Lin Feng to complete alone; he needed helpers.

"There are three Spirit Array Masters. I will personally fetch them," said Huang Shilan.

The three Spirit Array Masters, one old and two middle-aged, were originally somewhat dismissive upon seeing Lin Feng. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy—just an apprentice Spirit Array Master, surely?

But when they heard what Lin Feng intended to do, they were all dumbstruck.

Set up a grand formation that envelops the entirety of Moonfall City?

That sounded utterly far-fetched.

Surely such a feat would require the soul power of a Dark Stage Spirit Array Master at the least, right?

"Kid, are you daydreaming?" the old Spirit Array Master said.

"We are in a moment of life and death; there's no time to say so much. Just follow me," Lin Feng said, and immediately turned to walk towards the city outskirts.

"Please, I implore the three of you!" Huang Shilan bowed in respect.

The three were originally reluctant to agree, as the Beastman Army was about to attack, and they wanted to leave Moonfall City quickly. However, Marshal Huang had shown them kindness, and now that Huang Shilan was personally inviting them, it was difficult for them to refuse.

In the end, the three nodded their heads, although they still didn't believe Lin Feng could accomplish such a task, for it was too incredulous.

However, they were soon astonished.

For the abilities Lin Feng demonstrated far surpassed their own. From the overall construction of the grand formation to the drawing of spiritual patterns linking the various array eyes, the old Spirit Array Master felt incapable of achieving such feats. All three Spirit Array Masters stood there, mouths agape.

"To be at the peak of Yellow Rank Early Stage Spirit Array Master at just sixteen or seventeen years of age?" the old Spirit Array Master said with a bitter smile.

It had taken him forty years to progress from a Spirit Array apprentice to a Yellow Rank Early Stage High Spirit Array Master.

And he had been stuck at the rank of Yellow Rank Early Stage High Spirit Array Master for twenty years without making a breakthrough.

How could they not be shocked to see a boy in his late teens demonstrating the prowess of a Yellow Rank Early Stage Peak Spirit Array Master before them?

Lin Feng said, "I need to trouble the three seniors to bring these spirit array materials to the intersecting points of the spiritual patterns at the array eyes, and also to cast an illusion technique to conceal these array eyes. Our time is limited; we must finish all these before the Beastman Empire's army arrives."

The role of a Spirit Array Master was a particularly special one; generally, whoever had a higher rank as a Spirit Array Master had a higher status, regardless of age. Among the four of them, Lin Feng was the highest-ranked Spirit Array Master, naturally holding the highest status. The other three, upon seeing that Lin Feng, despite his young age, was already a Peak Yellow Rank Spirit Array Master without any hint of arrogance, instead treating them with such respect, felt their spirits rise. If they truly managed to accomplish this task and withstand the invasion of the Beastman Army, how many lives would they save?

This was certainly a deed that would benefit all!

Looking at Lin Feng, the three Spirit Array Masters nodded solemnly. They felt their own blood boil, seemingly ignited by the passion, bravery, and chivalry of the young man before them. Taking the array formation materials, they joined Lin Feng, each taking on their respective duties, and began constructing the vast grand formation.
