The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Lin Yue frowned and was silent for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Young Master, I'm afraid I really can't hold on this time."

Chen Subaru gently stroked Lin Yue's hair, gently rubbed away her frown with his thumb, and said, "I had no intention of staying here."

Feeling Chen Subaru's gentle caress, Lin Yue's nervousness eased slightly. Then she looked at Chen Subaru in surprise and asked: "Since you don't intend to defend, why do you want to go to the dangerous place in person?"

Chen Subaru gently scratched Lin Yue's nose and said with a smile: "If I don't come, how can I make them feel afraid? How can I make them pay a sufficient price when they self-destruct the formation?"

After learning about Chen Subaru's plan, Lin Yue looked even more surprised than before: "Young Master, this formation consumes so little, can it still self-destruct?"

Chen Subaru left Lin Yue's cheek, clasped his hands and nodded: "This formation was designed in a hurry, and there is a serious flaw. Once the spiritual energy absorbed exceeds the load of the formation, the formation will self-destruct. This is why I have not done all the research. The main reason why military towns promote this formation.”

Lin Yue knew that she was controlling an extremely dangerous formation, and asked in horror: "Young Master, when we are controlling the formation..."

Chen Subaru waved his hand to signal her not to panic, and said calmly: "You don't need to worry. A confrontation of your scale is still far from critical. Moreover, you have two hundred people, which is enough to cope with the spiritual power of the current war."

Lin Yue immediately grasped the key point in Chen Subaru's words and asked: "Young Master, do you mean that the more people controlled by this formation, the higher the upper limit of spiritual power operation?"

Chen Subaru shook his head slightly and said: "That's not entirely true. Limited by the formation materials and the formation monks themselves, the maximum design limit of this formation is 500 people. If placed in Gaoping County to face the fierce attack of the puppet army, This upper limit will definitely cause self-destruction, and the upper limit of our formation here is exactly two hundred people."

Lin Yue did not notice the deep meaning behind Chen Subaru's words. Her mind was entirely on the limits of the formation. So, she asked: "Young Master, can you tell me how much spiritual power the two hundred people in the current formation can withstand?"

Chen Subaru noticed Lin Yue's concerns and knew that she was a bit over the top. So, he no longer tried to explain his intentions, but followed her train of thought and answered: "Theoretically, the spiritual power of two hundred people can withstand the spiritual power infusion of two hundred Nascent Soul fourth-level monks. However, that It is just an ideal state for two hundred Yuanying realm monks to stand in the formation and wait to be absorbed. In actual situations, due to the large number of fighting techniques, the flow of spiritual energy in the formation is far more complicated than the static state. It is estimated that the limit that two hundred people can bear is the spiritual energy infusion of fifty Yuanying realm fourth-level monks."

After hearing this, Lin Yue thought for a moment and said: "Fifty fourth-level Nascent Soul Realm monks are indeed a very high limit for the two hundred of us. Moreover, it is impossible for the formation to instantly absorb all the spiritual power of those monks." It is not easy to reach the critical point of self-destruction. However, there are six thousand troops on the opposite side, and there are more than sixty Nascent Soul Realm puppets leading the army. Even if the three half-step god cultivators don't take action, it will be difficult for us. If the formation explodes, the whole army will be wiped out."

Chen Subaru gently patted Lin Yue's delicate shoulder and said, "The reason why I haven't left yet is not just to explain these trivial matters to you."

He faced the direction of the enemy camp with his hands behind his back and said: "Even if all two hundred of you are sacrificed here, it will not be able to attract enough enemy troops into the self-destruction range of the formation. I am here to ensure that this formation can maintain its defense. Limit, stimulate these people to break the formation with all their strength. We must retreat before they organize the largest offensive, but before that, this formation must be maintained by fifty people, otherwise it will not meet the minimum requirements for detonating the formation."

Lin Yue finally understood Chen Subaru's intention. She had just awakened her self-awareness, and had no idea of ​​a companion who shared life and death. Except for Chen Subaru, who is her master, she cherishes her own life far more than anyone else. She is unwilling to lose the object of her perfect servitude, more because she is reluctant to part with the hard work and emotion she has put in. The reason why she went to rescue Gui Wu and was in danger before was entirely out of her obedience to Chen Subaru's orders and her trust in Chen Subaru's strength. Without Chen Subaru's assistance, she would decisively cut off contact with Gui Wu.

This relatively selfish awakening of self-awareness made Lin Yue not care about the life and death of the other two hundred monks. When Chen Subaru offered to ensure her safe escape, Lin Yue immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and began to focus on the task.

Chen Subaru proposed leaving fifty people to maintain the formation, but Lin Yue first excluded herself and Gui Wu. She immediately made a list of fifty lower-level monks in her mind. She cautiously asked Chen Subaru: "Young Master, are there any cultivation requirements for those who want to stay?"

Chen Subaru naturally saw through Lin Yue's little thoughts, shook his head slightly and said: "In this formation, the role of most monks is only to channel spiritual power, and they can be controlled with a little practice. The main purpose of arranging some monks with higher cultivation is to In order to kill the enemy and protect the formation, if there are a large number of enemy troops, in order to quickly reach the peak of the spiritual power of the formation, we may even need to arrange for our own monks to enter the formation to provide spiritual power. Look at those who are left behind. Just make arrangements. Remember to keep them informed.”

After receiving Chen Subaru's instructions, Lin Yue showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, young master, those who can come here to guard the outer defense line are all warriors in the army, there will be no problem."

"The puppet army will launch an attack tomorrow at the latest. We are pressed for time. You can make arrangements." After Chen Subaru finished speaking, he was ready to continue meditating to restore his spiritual power.

When Lin Yue saw this, she obediently bowed and left.

Chen Subaru looked at her leaving back thoughtfully. In fact, both of them knew one thing well: "How can there be any warriors in the army, who is willing to give up his precious life? Let fifty monks go willingly The greatest guarantee of death is Lin Yue himself.”

After leaving Chen Subaru's place, Lin Yue returned to the monks. A simple temporary stronghold was built in the formation to store supplies and provide a simple resting place.

In addition to a group of monks responsible for investigation and vigilance, Lin Yue called others together and held a temporary mobilization meeting. She briefly explained Chen Subaru's plan to the monks. As she expected, when it came to volunteering to stay and defend the formation, the monks were all hesitant, and very few stood up and were willing to die.

Lin Yue thought to herself: "Fortunately, I was prepared. I like to charm people around me, so the young master shouldn't mind, right?"
