He cannot recklessly charge in, if the commander’s strike is aimed at him, without a doubt, it will send him directly to heaven, and all the painstaking preperations and precious tools would be wasted.

He squints his eyes and calls upon his last resort against the commander- the ’Straw Man of the Beginning of the Hour of the Ox’!

[The ’Straw Man of the Beginning of the Hour of the Ox’ (Special tool ) : ....Upon usage of this tool, pinning the last long nail into the straw man’s heart, can severely wound the subject of the technique and afflict it with a strong ’weakening’ effect.]

[You pull out an inconspicuous, worn-out straw man, with blood-red characters boldly attached on it, it’s the commander’s name.]

[A few strands of black hair are mixed in with the straw. The straw man’s limbs and head all have pins nailed in, only one pin is left to be inserted into its heart to complete the spell.]

[You fiercely jab the last long nail into the heart of the straw man!]

[The ’Extreme Evil Commander’ suffers from a severe ’weakening’ negative effect!]

[In an instant, the black aura enveloping the commander is greatly dissipated, and his robust frame visibly shrinks slightly.]

[You can clearly feel that his fierce and unrivalled momentum has also greatly weakened...]

[The commander suddenly looks at you, sneers coldly and says: Is this your prepared killer move? Heh! A petty trick!]

[He lunges forward, and even before reaching you, the domineering black sword light is continually magnifying in your view, gradually occupying all your vision...]

[The ’Nine-tailed Fox’ with its hair flying and surrounded by dazzling thunder, emits an enchanting spiritual power, casting it onto the commander...]

[The black sword light only hesitates for a moment before regaining its luster and unmatched momentum!]

[But just this short pause is enough for ’Dayue circle’ to draw another bloody sword and block it in front of you...]

[And this brief moment is enough for you to call upon the ’Big Dipper Sword Technique’!]

[You let out a long cry, forming a sword seal with your hand, and your True Element surges violently within you!]

[The grand universe seems to transform into a tranquil night sky, with stars shining brilliantly in the night, among them, seven are known as the ’Big Dipper’, dazzling and eye-catching...]

[The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper scatter their shining starlight, concentrating in the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ in your hand!]

[You point with the sword seal. The sword’s aura is fierce and sweeping, attacking the commander together with the ’Dayue circle’s blood-colored sword light!]

[In the thunderous boom, your sight turns black...]

[When you come back to your senses, you find yourself in a huge pit, feeling only severe pain all over your body, as if you are falling apart, and the True Element in your body has also been completely drained.]

[You’ve suffered very serious injuries!]

[Your True Element is completely depleted, and you feel like dying of fatigue. Even the slight movement of your feet is a luxury!]

[The ’Dayue Circle’ is next to you, and compared to when it was first summoned, its spirit form is now blurry. If it takes another blow... maybe half a blow could obliterate it, causing its soul to scatter.]

[And the ’Extreme Evil Commander’ is still as imposing as an insurmountable mountain!]

[As your True Element is completely depleted, the effect of the ’Zifu Qingwei Submersible Star Heart Technique’ is triggered!]

[At the core of the Shell, a surging True Element flows out incessantly. In an instant, you recover all your True Element and your exhausted state is swept away.]

[You grab the ’Dayue Circle’ and retreat. The ’Shuten-doji’ quickly steps in between you and the ’Commander’ seeing your action...]

Lin Xun takes a deep breath, the look in his eyes growing more intense.

For the first time when he used Star Lord Canis against the commander, even though he used the ’Legendary Grade skill Big Dipper Sword Technique’, he was still easily knocked out by the commander.

Now, the commander is under the ’strong weakening’ negative effect, and he is able to resist the commander’s strike in collaboration with the ’Dayue Circle’.

It would seem that Lin Xun’s side wouldn’t last much longer, just a few more strikes from the commander would wipe them all out.

But that’s not the case!

As long as he wasn’t defeated by a single strike, he had a chance to win!

[You have taken possession of the shell of ’Fire Worshiping Saiou Wakaashi-hime’!]

[You raise the divine weapon in your hand —— the ’Harvest Sickle of Tiansui Blooming Rice’...]

"I told you, you won’t die in vain. I will use your shell... to defeat the general!"

[The plump shadow of a goddess manifests behind you, the goddess of harvest wraps you in her arms...]

[Shell skill ’Bountiful Kagura Dance’ activated!]

[The golden glow symbolizing bumper harvest illuminates all sides, and the harvest goddess sprinkles a golden light like rice...]

[Your Shikigami ’Ancestral Sly Ghost’ has fully recovered!]

[Your special summon ’Ancestral Dayue circle’ has fully recovered!]

[Your shell ’Desire of Star Lord Canis’ has fully recovered!]

[The general finally stops his march, fixing you with his deep gaze, slowly stating that he will kill all living things here, sparing only your life...]

[He will cut off your limbs and place you in the palace where the young emperor died. You will continue to use this body with royal blood to erode the struggling false gods for the True God!]

[Outside the graveyard, countless noisy footsteps are approaching...]

[The elite army stationed in the Capital has discovered a shocking battle in the ’Ancient Tomb of Fire Worship’. A steady stream of fierce warriors pours into the cemetery, forming a large battle array filled with murderous intentions!]

[As soon as the general gives an order, that countless warriors could submerge you...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, finally using that long-cultivated army tool!

[You pull out a black flag and silently recite the ancient characters on the flag: Swift as the wind, quiet as the forest, raiding like fire, unmovable like a mountain...]

[You have expended 3 points of soul strength, using the ’Ogiwara Family’s Command Flag’!]

[Since you have expended 3 points of soul strength, this summon is of the third tier.]

[The number of soldiers responding to your summon is: 1500, morale value is: 95 (Bonus added by military commander +20)]

[The sound of war drums rings through the graveyard, unleashing a deafening roar that makes one’s blood boil...]

[The graveyard is stained with a bloody red...]

[The ensuing elite soldiers respond to the call, their bodies adorned in crimson armor, some mounted on horses, others on foot, wielding spears, or carrying swords.]

[At the very front of the army are heroic generals of various shapes and sizes. There are stout foot soldiers dual-wielding large Tachi, long-armed crossbow leaders standing on chariots, and spear-holding generals charging on horses...]

[Cavalry soldiers lead at the front of the formation, infantry in the middle, and archers positioned in the rear.]

[At the very back of the formation, there are numerous terrifying siege weapons, like large crossbow vehicles, frontal assault blade carts, trebuchets...]

[The iron-blooded army, composed of more than a thousand soldiers, is robust and disciplined. Without your command, they stand as strict as a javelin, ready for battle. The only sound is the horses’ heavy breathing, and a tangible, heavy murderous aura fills the air!]

[The ’Ancestral Sly Ghost’ stands up, closes its eyes, and spreads its arms...]

[The desolate and ancient divine battlefield once again covers the entire graveyard. Everywhere you look, it’s a bloody red, not only is the land soaked in the blood of fresh spirits, but there are also numerous fearless ’Crimson Warriors’!]

[A terrifying sea monster descends at the forefront of the battle. With a screech, its arm-like tentacles crash down, stirring up blood-red dust...]

[All the soldiers and generals of the ’Crimson Army’ are ready for battle, waiting for your command to fight for you!]

"The real decisive battle... is just beginning!"

Lin Xun took a deep breath and issued the charge order!
