Chapter 209: The Power That Brings Victory!
A qualified soldier, who could integrate into the army formation, needed at least ten years from the time they enlisted!
Not only did they need to cultivate special techniques, but they also needed to practice constantly day and night—even the main generals had to follow the same rigorous training. Furthermore, maintaining a million-level army formation was even more challenging; nowadays, any legions that could maintain this level had been established for over twenty years.
This included their own main force of the Xuanwu Formation.
Therefore, General Zhu Wu indeed had some doubts about whether he had seen correctly.
However, the command efficiency of Human Civilization was extremely high.
Just after the mission had been issued, within just one hour, a hundred thousand people had already been sent to his position.
All of them were humans.
This made Zhu Wu feel a bit of pressure.
Although it wasn't overtly stated, on today's battlefield, the status of human soldiers was actually the highest.
This difference was unavoidable, after all, among the entire alliance, the most powerful civilization was Human Civilization.
A hundred-thousand-strong human legion arriving here was certainly significant support, but it was uncertain how much cooperation could be achieved when it was difficult to integrate into the army formation.
"General Zhu Wu, Lifei Ge, the commander of the Twenty-Fifth Regiment of the Seventy-Third Division of the Twelfth Army of the Human Unified Front, reporting to you!" Lifei Ge saluted Zhu Wu with a standard military salute.
In the current military organization of Human Civilization, a hundred thousand people made up one regiment.
Zhu Wu also saluted Lifei Ge with a Great Yan Immortal Dynasty military salute.
His gaze flickered slightly over the back of Ge Lifei's hand.
He did not see that sacred imprint.
This made him feel somewhat disappointed, but also relieved.
In these brief three days of combat, Zhu Wu had gained a certain understanding of many things about Human Civilization; the most impressive of which was naturally the group of people known as "Direct Followers of the President." They even had the nickname "Divine Envoy," a symbol of their status marked by the engraving on the back of their hand.
In necessary times, they could directly request the power of that President.
And unleash unimaginably terrifying power.
Four days ago, when they were ambushed, it was such a "Divine Envoy" who, in an instant, annihilated millions of undead!
Their status was inconceivably high.
If such a "Divine Envoy" had come, he, the main general, would probably have been replaced.
Of course, the pressure on the battlefield would also be greatly relieved.
Since it wasn't, Zhu Wu, while disappointed, also felt his mental burden considerably lightened, and he showed a smile, "General Ge, just call me Zhu Wu, no need to be so formal. Come, I've already prepared a banquet for all the generals."
"General Zhu Wu, time is pressing," Lifei Ge's expression didn't relax in the slightest as he said sternly, "The orders I received are to completely master the Xuanwu Formation within three days and to verify the results in actual combat."
"Three days?" Zhu Wu took a sharp breath.
Glancing at Lifei Ge's serious expression, which seemed to be very earnest, Zhu Wu even felt a sense of absurdity in that moment.
It was like talking to a wall.
So much so that he didn't even know how to explain.
After a while, he managed to get out, "General Ge, is there some mistake here? Let alone three days, even three years would be impossible to learn! Our Xuanwu Army took a full twenty years to take shape!"
"Not necessarily," Lifei Ge had obviously expected Zhu Wu's reaction, and he said directly, "We have already successfully tried it in training, although it wasn't stable. Please allow us to conduct a drill to test it on the spot."
Already succeeded?
Zhu Wu looked astonished and doubted himself again.
He just numbly nodded.
After a while, a hundred thousand Great Yan Soldiers quickly assembled, facing the hundred thousand human soldiers.
All the Great Yan generals who heard the news reacted similarly.
Learn the Xuanwu Formation in three days?
This was completely beyond their understanding.
Yet, the feats accomplished by Human Civilization that went beyond understanding weren't just one or two by now, and at this moment, almost all the generals had gathered here.
"Let's begin."
Zhu Wu's personal terminal transmitted Lifei Ge's voice. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stood in the middle of the formation, shouting, "Form up!"
In an instant, all the soldiers' blood and spiritual power started circulating, an invisible shield enveloped the entire formation, and covered each soldier.
This was the main defense of the Xuanwu Formation.
The blood and spiritual energy of a hundred thousand people merged into a formidable shield that even millions of undead couldn't easily break through.
This was their most powerful trump card.
In terms of its role on the battlefield, it was comparable to some powerful technological weapons, and when facing enemies like the undead, it even had a more potent effect.
Ge Lifei watched very intently, as this was his first time witnessing the original effect.
Many insights occurred to him.
He was a Cultivator, the Chosen One of his profession, and behind him were all Cultivators, highly skilled in the use of spiritual energy, one of the reasons he was chosen as the "Main General."
This was a temporary promotion, and for him personally, it was an extremely rare opportunity.
"All troops, get in formation!" Ge Lifei's voice clearly conveyed to every soldier, who instantly activated a Xuanwu token tied to their waistbelts.
Spiritual energy surged, and each Xuanwu Token seemed to become an energy point, rapidly converging together, forming a huge shield.
Although it was still somewhat weaker compared to the other side, this scene still left General Zhu Wu and other Great Yan generals too shocked for words!
"Did it really work?" murmured General Zhu Wu, his eyes growing hotter and hotter.
It really worked! It really worked in such a short time!
If it had been in the past, he might have felt some worries, some reluctance, because this meant that their decades of hard cultivation seemed like a joke.
But now, he was just ecstatic!
How many top players in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty could not form legions due to the military formations?!
If they could all form armies in such a short time, the military power of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty could expand wildly in a short time!
Double? Triple?
No, tenfold!
What could the Undead use to resist this?!
Frankly, just this display of power from Human Civilization right now felt like it was heralding the doom of the Undead!
"How exactly did you do this?" General Zhu Wu asked eagerly, "Is it because of the Magic Treasures you're wearing? Or because of special training! Please, you must tell us, this is power that can bring us victory!"
"..." Ge Lifei looked at him, somewhat at a loss for words. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
They were clearly here to seek teaching, yet now the roles were reversed with them being asked.
However, he could understand their excitement.
Because, indeed, this could greatly increase their chances of winning the war, this method, with its rapid popularization capabilities, is as significant on the current battlefield as the first appearance of airplanes and tanks on battlefields decades ago for Human Civilization.
It could directly change the mode of warfare.
More importantly—the Undead can't learn it!
"General Zhu Wu, this kind of discussion is not within our authority," Ge Lifei reminded him, "Our task is to perfect it, the rest will naturally be discussed by higher-ups."
"Right, right, I was too excited."
General Zhu Wu took several deep breaths in a row to calm his excited emotions.
He and his generals, looking at Ge Lifei's calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel extreme envy.
Human Civilization was truly too powerful.
This power was not only manifested in strength, nor only in their President, but in many aspects of their depth!
They had obtained the military formations from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty not long ago, and yet they had already achieved what countless people from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty couldn't achieve over many years!
This profound depth, even this seemingly hopeless crisis seemed like nothing anymore.
Actually, if Ge Lifei knew these thoughts, he would probably just proudly say, "Basic operation, no surprise."
In high-level stores, as well as achieving first place in the double rankings twice, there was really nothing strange about this, after all, doing things in a short period of time that couldn't be done over a long period of time is a basic requirement in the Civilization Trial.
Those who can't do this can't keep up with the worsening pace of the Civilization Trial's crises.
Growth rate is a crucial aspect in resisting trials!
Subsequently, General Zhu Wu, filled with astonishment and a desire to understand further, communicated in detail with Ge Lifei and practiced this kind of fast-formation military array.
Situations similar to this were not only happening here.
Human Civilization had sent quite a few legions to various battle zones stationed by the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, and all the practice information was also collected by Fiora for further refinement.
The news quickly reached the court of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.
At first, these civil servants simply could not believe it.
But after repeatedly confirming, they too were boiling with excitement.
"Your Majesty, we must acquire these methods,"
"No matter the cost, it will be worth it!"
"This will increase our Great Yan's military power by several times at least!"
"The depth of Human Civilization is indeed profound."
"Your Majesty, please host another national banquet, invite the envoys!"
"The opportunity for victory in this battle lies right here!"
"..."
Empress Xi Qing, looking at the excited civil servants below her, also had mixed feelings in her heart.
She knew that the court of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had been completely convinced by the strength of Human Civilization.
No longer having their previous blind arrogance, learning to open their eyes to see the vast starry river, the endless world, this was certainly good, but even she was deeply shaken by the performance of human civilization.
She was very clear now.
The initial strength of Human Civilization couldn't compare with theirs.
To say nothing of comparing with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, even the Louis People who possessed the heritage of Ancient Civilizations were no match.
To have reached this point today was almost entirely due to Shen Hao!
"The power of one man, in such a short time, has led the entire civilization to become so strong." Xi Qing pursed her lips, "Is this what a true 'Emperor' is?"
