After much deliberation, Zhong Ling’s fingertip chess piece finally slipped. She understood this game.
In fact, her defeat was sealed fifty moves ago; every step thereafter was merely guidance from her opponent before a complete loss.
At this moment, Zhong Ling deeply understood why this twenty-eight-year-old girl could overshadow the terrifying Li Mo, ascending to the top ten of the Qianlong Ranking at an unprecedented age, and be hailed as a Fairy.
“That...”
Zhong Ling was about to speak.
“Did we win?”
Then she saw Xiao Li, who had somehow sidled up behind Ying Bing, intently staring at the chessboard. He was a bit too close when he spoke, right by her ear.
The Han Xianzi, who had been so strategic and despair-inducing, seemingly without any flaws, subtly recoiled her neck.
Definitely not mistaken!
Ying Bing’s fingertips trembled, and a black piece slipped onto the board.
But she still said coolly, “Yes, just playing a game of chess with Zhong Ling.”
Li Mo tilted his head: “Aren’t you discussing the Dao of military formations through chess?”
“How do you know...?”
Ying Bing was startled.
“Commander Qu said that the more you command military formations, the better, and Miss Zhong has been so defeated by you that she’s doubting life.”
“.....”
Ying Bing lowered her gaze and glanced to the side: “She’s quite good. If I were to give her seven or eight pieces, she might not lose.”
Zhong Ling: “...You flatter me.”
“That amazing?!”
Li Mo saw Zhong Ling’s expression and knew it was true. So, Xiao Li surveyed the chessboard up and down, then earnestly gave the Ice Cube a thumbs-up, which earned him a slight eye-roll from the Han Xianzi.
He didn't understand a single thing about Go.
But he didn't skimp on emotional value.
“Then the warriors of my Qingmu Camp shall be placed under Miss Ying’s command.”
Qu Sheng presented his command flag.
“Let’s first try how many squares of soldiers and armor?”
“Ten squares should be no problem. We’ll see how it goes and add more then.”
Li Mo looked at the forest of long halberds below, and the thought of a true man being like this arose in his heart, feeling every cell in his body excited.
He couldn't distinguish whether it was his Battle Intent surging or if he was a bit nervous.
“Ten squares right off the bat?” Qu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
The generals present exchanged glances. The stronger ones among them were already at Inner Scenery Third Heaven, yet when ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) they first tried to accommodate military power, even one square was very difficult.
It was no easy feat for one person to accommodate thousands of soldiers and horses.
Ying Bing, however, took the command flag, her eyes calm as she looked at Li Mo: “Go, just do as you please.”
“!”
Xiao Li immediately felt that he didn't need to think so much.
Someone was backing him up.
So he strode forward, walking into the military formation. Soon, the seven Mystic Cores in his Dantian vibrated, and a phantom image of an ape appeared behind him, its eyes seemingly burning with golden fire.
Li Mo asked in a clear voice:
“Are there any brothers willing to help me form the array?”
“Count me in!”
“Li Shaoxia is so generous, how dare we spoil the fun!”
“Being a soldier in Li Shaoxia’s formation? Hahaha, we’ll have something to boast about when we drink later!”
The squad leaders and centurions all refused to be left behind, fearing that if they responded too late, they wouldn't get a spot. Not only could they gather ten squares of soldiers and armor.
Those who remained by Xiao Li’s side were all the most elite centurions.
“Rise!”
As the command flag fluttered above.
Ying Bing simultaneously familiarized herself with the method of commanding soldiers and applied the military formation techniques she had just learned from Zhong Ling.
Understanding one Dao leads to understanding all.
Military formations were originally a type of martial art, except that this martial art could only be performed by multiple people.
A thousand-man military formation, under her command, was like a precise machine composed of people.
“This is the power of a military formation, isn’t it?”
In an instant, Li Mo felt the surging power within him.
On the Dantian’s miniature figure, the Taiyin Divine Mark and the Stone Monkey Divine Mark lit up simultaneously.
The Qi of armored warriors was continuously channeled into the formation eye, sorted by his Yi Soul, and integrated into his body.
“It’s somewhat similar to accommodating the power of the world, but not entirely the same. It has more killing Qi, and soldier Evil Qi.”
“Will the Major Achievement of the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body have such an effect?”
Li Mo felt his Qi and blood surge like a rainbow, his thoughts stirring slightly.
Bang—
A massive whale breath coral stone was thrown into the field. This was a gift from Guo Jing to thank him for saving her life, but Tianjiao Xiao Li still insisted on exchanging something for it.
“A whale breath coral stone? Such a large piece is rare.”
“Is Li Shaoxia trying to test his attack strength?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, he actually completely accommodated ten squares of military power. He has the bearing of a great general. Li Shaoxia is unprecedented, isn’t he?”
“Han Xianzi’s military formation command is also terrifyingly good.”
The generals watched this scene.
“According to ancient legends, there was an Overlord with the Heavenly Overlord Body who, at sixteen, was already an enemy of ten thousand. I wonder if Brother Li can achieve that?” Zhong Zhenyue murmured, looking down.
“I wonder what his limit is.”
Qu Sheng glanced at Ying Bing, then at Li Mo, and murmured:
“But it’s definitely not now.”
Boom—
Accompanied by the Wuzhiqi phantom pounding its chest.
A roar exploded on the whale breath coral stone. This stone rooted itself upon landing, causing the ground to tremble, yet its color rippled like water, staining thirty percent of the coral stone.
Purple!
This indicated that Li Mo’s casual strike just now, without using any martial arts, was comparable to Inner Scenery.
“Not enough!”
Li Mo felt the Wuzhiqi phantom becoming more solid, and his voice boomed across the training ground.
“How many squares to add?”
Qu Sheng asked loudly.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze and met Li Mo’s eyes.
“Thirty squares!” x 2
In unison. freёwebnovel.com
“Adding thirty squares at once?”
The field couldn't help but fall silent; all the soldiers thought they had misheard.
Qu Sheng took a deep breath. He vaguely guessed what the young man and woman intended to do:
“First Camp, Second Camp, Third Camp, go up in order.”
“Understood!”
Three thousand soldiers and armored troops, obeying orders strictly, stepped out and began to prepare to form ranks and enter the formation. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Uncle Qu, thirty squares at once, won’t this be too big a step?!”
Zhong Zhenyue asked with a somewhat anxious expression.
Zhong Ling looked at the iron armor like clouds below, also feeling incredibly shocked.
This was four thousand people!
Wait...
Qu Sheng felt hot all over on a cold day, his voice trembling:
“You don’t know what they are doing. They are creating history, the history of military formations!”
“Creating history?” Zhong Zhenyue was bewildered.
Zhong Ling looked at Ying Bing, who had released the command flag and was using Scarlet Phoenix Qi to change the flag’s color, and suddenly remembered what this Han Xianzi had once said.
Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, complementing each other.
“She’s going to use a Forty-square military formation to simulate a domain, using four thousand soldiers to construct Li Mo’s Inner Scenery?!”
“Constructing an Inner Scenery domain with soldiers and armor?!”
Zhong Zhenyue instantly felt his scalp tingle.
No one had ever done this before, or perhaps someone had, but absolutely no one had ever succeeded.
What kind of talent was required to conceive this? And what kind of opportune timing, favorable geography, and harmonious human relations were needed to turn theory into reality?
Zhong Zhenyue’s heart pounded rapidly. He knew what this meant.
Once successful, the history of military strategists would likely turn a new page.
Whoosh—
Ying Bing’s beautiful eyes were like an ice mirror, reflecting the spirited young man in the formation. She then gently waved her fair hand, stirring the clouds.
The Scarlet Phoenix Qi changed color, turning into a swift green.
“Wind!”
