Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 980 - 602: Alliance Army_2

"Rest assured, President, I understand!"

Chen Yi smiled with confidence, "The Han Dynasty Civilization is also a popular civilization. Ten lords working together with the Han Army should be more than enough to take down his territory."

"A lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit!"

The young man shook his head. "He has climbed to the seventh rank on the Newcomer List in such a short time; he must have something to rely on, especially in terms of personal martial power. We must devise a strategy to target this, turning his strength into his shortcoming, or even a fatal weakness, understand?"

Zhang Yi’s eyes narrowed in realization and she immediately said, "Understood, I will make the arrangements!"

"Very good!"

The young man nodded. "Let the logistics department know if you need anything. I’ll authorize a special fund to ensure that this operation is foolproof."

"Yes!"

...

Interest stirs the heart, as undercurrents surge, and three days pass in a flash.

In the Territory World, within Yellow Sky City, the army was prepared for battle.

Xu Yang straddled Red Rabbit, brandishing his halberd in front of the gate, with Hua Mulan and Lv Qiling by his side, and three hundred Heroic Bow Riders behind.

Lv Qiling’s mount, previously given to Hua Mulan, was a Ferghana horse, while she herself rode a white-maned armored warhorse acquired from the Jin Country stables.

After all, as a Fighting General, Lv Qiling needed a robust steed for charges, while she as a Commander Type Hero needed to command her trusted aides and, thus, had relatively lower requirements for her mount; considering the overall situation, she gifted the Ferghana to Lv Qiling.

This also further improved their affinity and seemed very likely to lead to their understanding Combined Skills.

The three generals and three hundred bow riders stood ready before the city gates, waiting for the enemy generals.

On the city walls, fifty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers were divided to defend all four gates, in addition to reinforcements brought by Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng, while Yue Yun with one thousand Yue Family’s Beiwei Army and four thousand Great Song Armored Soldiers defended the eastern wall, and Wen Da with six hundred trusted aide Sword Checkers and three thousand Great Song infantry guarded the western wall.

Combined, the forces neared sixty thousand, far stronger than those in the previous siege battle.

"Sixty thousand troops, plus such a formidable man as Yang and numerous Epic Heroes... Keeping a city should not be difficult, after all, it’s merely a test from the Civilization Wonders."

Atop the eastern wall, disregarding his own troops, Feng Cheng came to gossip with Zhang Yan again.

Regarding this, Zhang Yan could only helplessly shake her head and say, "Hard to say."

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Feng Cheng frowned, puzzled. "Why ’hard to say’?"

"Though it’s just a test from the Civilization Wonders, these tests, like Advanced Tasks, are tailored to the strength of the lord’s Reputation: the stronger the reputation, the more difficult the task. Given Xu Yang’s current Reputation, the power of this conquering army will definitely not be weak. Besides that..."

Zhang Yan hesitated in her speech, abruptly stopping.

"What else?"

Feng Cheng asked, curious.

"Besides that, the threat from other lords is also a major challenge."

Zhang Yan gave a bitter smile but did not elaborate further.

As a mediator, she was well aware that the student council, which Xu Yang had refused, would surely take some action.

This construction of Wonders and the military campaign presented a perfect opportunity for them.

Indeed, they would face not just the invading army but also...

"Because you constructed the Yellow Turban Civilization Wonder, the Eastern Han Court has summoned the Heroic Spirit Army to attack your territory."

"The army consists of the commander Gongsun Yang, deputies Ma Wu and Liu Long, 500 Gongsun Golden Hammer Armored Soldiers, 1000 Han Imperial Guard Cavalry (Special), 1000 Han Hu Ben Army (Special), 10000 Han Elite Infantry, 10000 Han Spearholders, 5000 Han Prime Crossbowmen, 3000 Han Iron Cavalry."

"Tower of Heaven Lord ’Chen Yi’ has responded to the Eastern Han Court’s call to join the conquering army!"

"Tower of Heaven Lord ’Zhang Ying’ has responded to the Eastern Han Court’s call to join the conquering army!"

"Tower of Heaven Lord ’Wang Jie’ has responded to the Eastern Han Court’s call, joining the conquering army!"

"Tower of Heaven Lord..."

"The enemy numbers reach 200,000, and enemy hero ’Yuan Shao’ launches a Special Skill—Alliance Army!"

"The enemy morale significantly increases, Iron Rod Army Iron Cavalry Camp’s morale drastically increases, Iron Rod Army Great Halberd Camp’s morale drastically increases, Iron Rod Army Long Spear Array’s morale drastically increases, Iron Rod Army Sword and Shield Camp’s morale drastically increases, First Death Soldier’s morale drastically increases, Hebei troop morale drastically increases!"

"The enemy numbers reach 200,000, and enemy hero ’Yuan Shao’ launches a Special Skill—Alliance Hierarch!"

"Yuan Shao becomes the Alliance Hierarch, gaining command over the full army, Charm Attribute +30%, Intelligence Attribute +20%, Tactical and Commander Skills +50%, enemy military equipment construction speed +100%!"

"Enemy hero ’Yuan Shao’ launches a Special Skill—Four Generations of Three Dukes!"

"Your soldiers are affected, their morale significantly drops, Yuan family descendants’ highest attributes and all skills increase by 50%, Hebei Generals’ highest attributes and combat skills increase by 25%, Hebei Civil Servants’ highest attributes and tactical skills increase by 25%"

"Enemy hero launches a Special Skill..."

"Enemy hero activated a special skill..."

"Enemy lord activated a special skill..."

"Enemy lord activated a special skill..."

"Enemy lord" Chen Yi "used a special item—King Yama’s Writ!"

"Lord" Xu Yang "was targeted by King Yama’s Writ, unable to enter or leave the Sky-reaching Tower, duration seventy-two hours!"

...

A flash of white light passed and outside Yellow Sky City, a tide of people surged.

It is often said, once the crowd surpasses ten thousand, it becomes boundless.

If ten thousand people created such a scene, then what about an army of two hundred thousand?

Dark and dense, banners and armor stretched for miles, nearly occupying the entire grassland outside Yellow Sky City.

There were various special skills emitting dazzling lights, twinkling amidst the stern formations, making onlookers tremble with fear.

"Holy shit!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Atop the city walls, Zhang Yan’s face changed color, and Feng Cheng lost his voice in shock, "Two hundred thousand troops, and so many special troops."

"What kind of hero is Yuan Shao, this skill effect is even more exaggerated than that last Demon Abyss Lord!"

"Is he building a Civilization Wonder or violating heavenly laws?"

"Is there no balance at all?"

Looking at the vast army outside the city, Feng Cheng found it difficult to express his feelings.

Beside him, Zhang Yan frowned deeply, knowing the inside story but feeling helpless.

Indeed, after tearing off face, the student council, no, the Heaven-Connecting Academy began to take action.

Although conquering the Yellow Turban Civilization could earn rewards from the Eastern Han Court, considering the dominance of the "Mage" of the Yellow Turban Civilization, few lords risked it.

But now, ten lords had assembled, all of them renowned on the Reputation List, now forming an alliance army to attack. To say that no one was pushing this behind the scenes, nobody would believe.

Not to mention, the other party had used a special item such as "King Yama’s Writ," clearly aiming to thoroughly eradicate Xu Yang, a plainly obvious intention. Apart from Heaven-Connecting Academy, who else would make such a costly move?

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

Ten lords, numerous heroes, plus two hundred thousand troops and a staggering number of special troops.

Although under Xu Yang’s leadership, they had grown stronger, facing such an onslaught... could they withstand it?

Zhang Yan was filled with unease in his heart.

Before the city gate, Xu Yang didn’t seem concerned at all and directly dashed out on horseback towards the enemy formation.

In the enemy formation...

"Enemy lord Xu Yang used a special skill—Challenge!"

"Our side must dispatch a hero to respond, otherwise it’s considered a ’Fighting’ failure."

In the center of the army, Chen Yi saw this prompt without any change in expression, only turning his gaze to the person next to him.

The person next to him, understanding, nodded and shifted his gaze towards a middle-aged man wearing splendid armor.

"Humph, audacious brat, daring to bluster!"

In the center of the army, a general clad in golden armor, holding a pair of golden hammers, was about to step forward to meet the enemy.

But unexpectedly...

"General Gongsun, hold on!"

The splendidly armored middle-aged man stepped forward and spoke to the Golden Hammer General, "For such a brat, there’s no need to trouble the general. Under my command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou can handle him and cut him down from his horse."

Hearing this, the Golden Hammer General’s brow furrowed but ultimately he conceded, "Then let’s do as you say."

"Enemy hero Yuan Shao used a special skill—Rotational Combat!"

"Enemy heroes Yan Liang and Wen Chou used a combined skill—Double Wall!"

With a series of prompts, two generals from the Han army charged out on horseback, facing Xu Yang sternly at the forefront.

Rotational Combat: When an enemy hero’s Physical Attribute is higher than/equal to all our heroes, and they actively use a Duel Skill, it can be changed to Rotational Combat, letting our heroes take turns against the enemy general, reducing the loss of Morale from defeat, and suppressing the opponent’s Boost effect. The number of turns for Rotational Combat is the user’s Intelligence + Tactics ÷ 10.

Double Wall: Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the Hebei Double Wall (when together on the battlefield, Physical Attribute +20%, and can enter a duel together, if one of them dies, they enter a Rage state, Physical Attribute +50%, lasting Physical X1 minutes)
