empire wars

Chapter 103
Facing Li Deyi's invitation, Qin Yuan was quite surprised.

When the record was reported yesterday, according to the rules for receiving meritorious service formulated by King Nanjing, it would take at least a period of time for verification and verification.

After all, it was an army of human spirit guards, one of the trump card elites in the Heavenly Dao Army. Before that, only Yuan Zi had achieved the record of annihilating the human spirit guards.

Although Li Deyi is the second person, such a great achievement is of extraordinary significance, no less than winning a large-scale regional war.

It has a very important influence on the imperial camp and the heavenly camp.

It's just that people didn't expect that King Nanjing would set Li Deyi's merits so quickly.

Except for the King of Nanjing himself making the final decision, the bureaucratic system under the Liehan Dynasty couldn't get it done without a delay of ten days and half a month.

It is even doubtful whether there are any secrets or transactions between King Nanjing and Li Deyi.

"Then congratulations to General Li in advance."

Qin Yuan said with a smile, and at the same time, agreed to Li Deyi's invitation.

As the saying goes, people who stick out their faces and don't smile, Li Deyi still came to invite Qin Yuan in person. It seems that he attaches great importance to Qin Yuan. With this attitude, Qin Yuan will not refuse.

At the same time, King Nanjing usually lives in the Youjiang military camp and is out of reach of ordinary people.

Qin Yuan was very interested in this famous and powerful Prince Lie Han, and wanted to know what kind of person he was.

After all, the impression of King Nanjing is based on intelligence information and other people's narrations. Sometimes, no matter how much information there is, it is better to meet him in person to get a thorough understanding.

"Today, I will announce the achievements of this general and the Volunteer Army in Youjiang City. The time and place of the celebration banquet have not yet been determined. I will send someone to inform you of the specific time."

Li Deyi was in a good mood, after all, she was in a state of excitement when she heard the news from the envoy of King Nanjing early in the morning.

Previously, he told some officials at the same level that he led his army to annihilate the human spirit guards. As a result, no one believed it at all. Now that King Nanjing has personally recognized this meritorious service, no one dares to question it.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly. The meritorious service of Human Lingwei is not simple. The King of Nanjing is obviously planning to show it off. If Li Deyi reveals his willingness to join the King of Nanjing again, he may become a big hit under the King of Nanjing.

Originally, Li Deyi also had the same meaning. The King of Nanjing agreed with Li Deyi's behavior very much, and the two seemed to coincide with each other.

After the news spreads, and after a few days of brewing, Li Deyi's reputation will probably spread throughout Youjiang City, and even Yidu County. When the celebration banquet is held, and King Nanjing personally awards the reward, Li Deyi will probably soar to the sky. , a sudden rise in status.

"Seeing that Brother Qin is in a hurry, where are you going?"

Li Deyi asked aloud.

Qin Yuan smiled, but didn't answer, and was about to find an excuse when Li Deyi spoke again.

"I heard that there is a lot of movement on the side of the Tiandao Army, and the town guards have been dispatched. I am afraid that there will be a big storm in the Yiyou battlefield."

Li Deyi said, "Many people have gone to the Yiyou battlefield. Brother Qin, we are also destined. Why don't we go see and see together?"

"Zhendiwei, one of the three elite elites of the Heavenly Dao Army, is said to be stronger than the Human Lingwei." Qin Yuan pondered for a while.

The human spirit guards are all composed of warriors, and their fighting power is extremely strong. In yesterday's battle, Li Deyi took it down by fighting more and paying heavy casualties.

I don't know how terrifying the strength of this town guard is.

From Li Deyi's mouth, I got more news about Zhendiwei.

There is no doubt that Zhendiwei is powerful, but the number of shots is very small, and he is the trump card of the Tiandao Army. This time, there is probably something wrong on the Yiyou battlefield that caused the Tiandao Army to send Zhendiwei to take action himself.

"Could it be the reason why Bai Qi took down the formation eye?"

Qin Yuan thought in his mind that the place Bai Qi occupied was a formation. Now that it was captured, the Tiandao Army might also have received the news.

If Zhendiwei really went for Bai Qi, then it also reflects the importance of that formation.

Although the refining formation consists of one main formation eye and one hundred and eight formation eyes, the formation eyes must be different in size and importance.

Qin Yuan didn't give Li Deyi an accurate answer, but said that he still had something to consider.

Li Deyi was also very knowledgeable, so she didn't ask any more questions, but said that she was going to inform other colleagues.

After saying goodbye to Li Deyi, Qin Yuan found Gongsun Chi.

At this time, Gongsun Chi was wearing dark golden armor, standing in the mansion with awe-inspiring aura, listening to the report of his generals, when a group of elite cavalry gathered.

"General Gongsun, are you preparing to go on an expedition?"

Qin Yuan asked Gongsun Chi.

The forces gathered in Youjiang City now have only one purpose, and that is to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Since King Nanjing did not launch a general offensive, nor did he command the forces of the princes, of course, even if King Nanjing wanted to serve as the general commander and command the princes, he probably would not get support.

Therefore, although there are many forces in the imperial court, they all fight against each other and do not invade each other.

"Well, I originally planned to rest for a few more days, but I heard that Yidu City sent a group of ground guards to meet them."

In Gongsun Chi's eyes, there was a fighting spirit, and the team that was rectified was ready to set off at any time.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Zhuge Mo beside him.

"The intelligence network has already launched operations, but its foundation is shallow and the speed of getting information is not that fast. After some time, it will definitely not fall behind others." Zhuge Mo said with an unnatural look on his face and a low voice.

The previous conversation with Li Deyi also mentioned Zhendiwei, Qin Yuan didn't think much about it.

However, Gongsun Chi also knew the news of Zhendiwei, but Qin Yuan knew nothing about it, did not receive any intelligence information, but learned it from others.

Of course, as Zhu Gemo said, they have a weak foundation in Yidu County, almost starting from scratch, so, unlike other forces, they are not immediately informed of any troubles.

Even when Gongsun Chi first arrived in Youjiang City, the intelligence system was built up bit by bit from scratch.

"Improve the intelligence network as soon as possible."

Qin Yuan said.

Once a war breaks out, intelligence information is very important, and a single piece of information may lead to the outcome of a major war.

"I also heard the news, and I was just about to ask General Gongsun if he is free to go with you."

Qin Yuan smiled and looked at Gongsun Chi. "By the way, I'm very interested in the refining formation, and I want to discuss it with you again."

The eyes under Gongsun Chi's sword eyebrows were simple and dull, looking at Qin Yuan for a long time, making people unable to see through or touch.

After a while, Gongsun Chi seemed to be weighing the pros and cons in his mind, so he nodded in agreement, and made an appointment to meet outside Beicheng in half an hour.

Under normal circumstances, if it is not for the allied forces or if they know the basics, the armies of different forces will basically not march together, but will go their own way. If the goal is the same, they will just agree to meet at a certain place.

This time, Gongsun Chi agreed to enter the Yiyou battlefield with Qin Yuan, not only wanting to see the strength of Zhendiwei, but also interested in Qin Yuan's elite army.

Half an hour later, Qin Yuan led the Dragon Scale Army and waited quietly on a high ground five miles outside the city.

It happened that on the several official roads leaving Youjiang City, there were innumerable troops, like long winding snakes, disappearing into the horizon along the official roads.

"I didn't expect the action of a town guard to affect so many forces."

Li Deyi said with emotion.

The troops dispatched today are three times more than in the past, and they are basically heading towards the Yiyou battlefield, and the purpose is self-evident.

"It's a pity. I wanted to act together with Brother Qin, but Deyong led the army first. I have to join him."

Li Deyi looked at a mighty cavalry rushing in the distance under the scorching sun, and she felt a sense of parting in her heart.

If he marched with Qin Yuan, he would not have any worries.

Qin Yuan was young and promising, he looked very smart, but after all, he was not very old, and he was not like those big people, so it was difficult for people to get along with, so he was very willing to deal with Qin Yuan and establish a good relationship.

But Gongsun Chi is different. He has been in a high position for a long time and has a domineering manner.

Not to mention that he had thoughts of seeking refuge with King Nanjing. He could sense that Gongsun Chi was showing disdain and even hostility towards him.

Therefore, when he knew that Qin Yuan and Gongsun Chi had teamed up, Li Deyi quit without hesitation.

"Okay, then I wish Brother Li a successful start and another great achievement."

Qin Yuan cupped his hands towards him.

After a while, Gongsun Chi personally led [-] sword guard cavalry and [-] Beidi raiders to join Qin Yuan.

The [-] army, all cavalry, and the armor on the soldiers reflected the dazzling light under the sunlight.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, this equipment alone can definitely rank among the top ten existences in the entire Liehan Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Dragon Scale Army is wearing black scale armor, but it is very low-key. If it is not actively displayed, it looks like it is just a more sophisticated design covering the whole body.

Almost except for the front door, the whole body is covered by black scale armor.

If it weren't for the riding speed of the Dragon Scale Army, outsiders would have thought it was a heavy cavalry.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of ordinary heavy cavalry is much stronger than that of light cavalry. The armor is made of refined steel, which is extremely defensive. At the same time, the weight of the armor is much heavier than that of ordinary cavalry, so regardless of combat effectiveness , the marching speed will be much slower than that of ordinary cavalry.

For example, Gongsun Chi's Beidi raiders and sword guard cavalry are actually light cavalry.

Gongsun Chi looked at the Dragon Scale Army with his eyes, and nodded again and again, with a look of amazement and surprise in his eyes.

Of course, under Qin Yuan's arrangement, the Dragon Scale Army had all restrained their warrior aura, so Gongsun Chi only saw a thing or two, and could not really understand the strength of the Dragon Scale Army by virtue of his eyesight.

"General Gongsun, as you said last night, the refining formation has [-] formation eyes, which exist alone and can be occupied by outsiders."

Qin Yuan had no intention of showing Gongsun Chi any more, so he said aloud.

"That's right, occupying the eyes of the formation is equivalent to weakening the strength of the Heavenly Dao Army in a disguised form. Moreover, once the situation is irreversible, we can destroy the entire refining formation by destroying the eyes of the formation and end the plan of the Heavenly Dao Army."

Gongsun Chi turned around and said.

"Well, you said before that any formation eye can enhance the strength of a warrior, so if there is a chance to win a formation eye, how should the formation eye be used?"

Qin Yuan pretended to ponder for a while and asked.

"Of course there is a way. Since we know the existence of the Great Refining Formation, we naturally know some ways to activate the formation."

Gongsun Chi said, "There are currently three known, two of which come from aristocratic classics, which record the methods of mobilizing the formation eyes, and the other comes from within the Heavenly Dao Army. However, these three methods are still I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Qin Yuan nodded. It seemed that Gongsun Chi knew a lot.

Under Qin Yuan's insinuation, he knew that Gongsun Chi had mastered the third method, which came from within the Tiandao Army. At the same time, he also revealed a piece of news that Gongsun Chi had a secret son in the Tiandao Army, and his status was not low.

The other two methods are in the hands of Yuan Zi and Zhao Shangqian, both of whom happen to come from powerful families.

In the end, none of the three methods have been tested, which means that the three parties have not yet grasped any of the formation eyes. Eyes exist.

However, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, they did not act rashly.

After all, there are still 20 days until the refining formation is initially completed.

Only after the qi and blood are converted into pure energy by the refining formation can it be used by warriors. Otherwise, anyone who absorbs a large amount of qi and blood will either be out of control by the violent energy and die, or be trapped in the blood. distracting thoughts, leading to mental confusion or even collapse and death.

Either way, either the body dies or the soul dies, and neither can survive.

"Then before the refining formation is finished, can't the blood energy be absorbed?"

Qin Yuan frowned and said, even a little worried in his heart.

Last night, Bai Qi and the God-killing Army captured Wuyou Village, and also discovered the formation eyes in the village, and discovered the blood and energy inside.

With the characteristics of the Killing God Army, murderous aura and qi and blood are very similar, basically the energy of the same source.

If it is true as Gongsun Chi said, once the unfinished Qi and blood are absorbed too much, it will lead to body explosion or mental breakdown and death.

"Of course there are. There are some gifted geniuses who have both physical and mental cultivation and have reached the realm of acquired nature and Qi refining at the same time. Such people can withstand the terrifying energy of Qi and blood as well as the erosion of the spirit. There is also a kind of special cultivation. It’s just that this kind of exercise has long been lost, if there are still people practicing in this world, they must be members of the Heavenly Dao Sect.”

Gongsun Chi said.

Refining and transforming large formations Refining qi and blood is a special magic circle built through it, and through a certain operation method, the violent qi and blood energy is purified and refined.

Since the magic circle can do this, why not human beings, as long as they master the method, they can do it.

However, the human body's endurance is limited after all, and it cannot be as unscrupulous as the refining formation, but as long as you master a little, you can easily break through the realm, or even reach the innate realm.

"The purpose of the refining formation is to enhance the strength of the warriors. In addition to being in the center of the formation, these warriors will also master some absorption methods or techniques."

Qin Yuan murmured, going around and around, the real method of using the formation eye is still in the hands of the Tiandao Army.

Qin Yuan looked at Gongsun Chi, he had a method in his hands, and he could give it a try.

However, no matter how he tried, Gongsun Chi didn't reveal any relevant information at all.

Seemingly seeing Qin Yuan's thoughts, Gongsun Chi smiled indifferently, "It seems that you are quite interested in the opponent. With your strength, in the future battle, you may have a chance to win one or two teams." Eyes, if you want to activate the array eye method, it’s not impossible.”

Qin Yuan showed a puzzled expression, staring at Gongsun Chi's expression with burning eyes.

"The general who led the Zhendiwei this time is named Wei Zeyuan. His combat power ranks seventh among the 36 stars of the Tiandaozong. He is considered a high-level figure in the Tiandaozong. If he can be taken down, he can dig out a lot of information from him. .”
