Chapter 34: Runic Array
Qi Yue and Ling were training the battle formation with more than 100 Praetorian Guards, and Ao Xian led several middle-level Janissaries to watch with interest.
After Ji Buyun exchanged greetings with them, he introduced the two elf maids to them.
Ao Xian pointed to a few iron boxes on the ground and said to the elf maid: "It's hard work, a thousand rune weapons are here, can you send them to the brothers now?"
Yue Ge waved his hand and asked, "Aren't these weapons separated by class?"
Ao Xian's old face turned red and said, "We haven't dared to open these boxes when we get them back." β
Yue Ming and Yue Ge looked at each other and smiled, the two opened the box, Yue Ming picked up a bracer-shaped rune weapon, pointed to the circular pattern on it and said: "The one with the circular pattern on it is the shield, the nine short and one long pattern is the javelin and spear, and the sword-shaped pattern is the rune sword, let's separate them by category first." β
Ao Xian, Ji Buyun and several mid-level Janissaries worked together, and under the command of the two elven maids, they divided a thousand runic weapons into categories, with a total of 400 shields, 400 javelins, spears, and 200 swords.
Yue Ge picked up a shield and said to Ji Buyun: "The nine princesses brought the best quality rune weapons this time, if this rune shield is opened at one time, it can be used for ten consecutive hours, if it is opened ten times according to the number of times, the use time is accumulated for eight hours, and after the five shields are combined, it can resist the full force of the cultivators in the fairy realm." β
Ji Buyun hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Wait, wait, how can there be a time and number limit for this?"
Yue Ge smiled: "Childe, of course, these ordinary rune weapons have a time limit on the time and number of times they can be used, like the worry-free shield that the princess gave you that can be used infinitely is a treasure in our elf clan, and she only has that one." β
Nan Wan'er said that it might be true that she fell in love with Ji Buyun at first sight, otherwise she wouldn't have given him such a precious worry-free shield as soon as they met, and she wouldn't have fed him the precious seven-colored fruit when she saw him for the second time.
Ji Buyun asked: "Then, what should I do if the number of times and time of these weapons run out?"
Yue Ge said: "As long as the mage of the hall realm replenishes the weapon with an hour of aura, it can continue to be used." β
The highlanders now only have Ji Buyun and the high priest, two small mages who are not in the stream, if they are relied on to replenish the aura of the weapons, these weapons are basically equivalent to disposable items.
Yue Ming said: "Don't worry, Childe, the Ninth Princess said that we are responsible for replenishing the aura of these thousand weapons." β
It seems that Nan Wan'er has thought of this a long time ago, don't look at her usual crazy behavior, chatter and nymphomaniac, but she is thoughtful and meticulous when she does the right thing.
Yue Ming asked Ling Ling, "What weapons do you need for this battle formation?"
Ling said: "Five shields, four swords, and a spear, if you don't have a bow and arrow, use a javelin instead." β
The elves have a tradition of trading with the highlanders, although they have not interacted with each other for three hundred years, they still know that the highlanders like to use javelins, rarely use bows and arrows, and the runic weapons they bring are completely in line with the highlanders' weapon use habits;
Yue Ming asked Lingling to summon a group of Praetorian Guards in battle, and the two main attackers in front were equipped with a shield and a sword, the two people covering on the side were also equipped with a shield and a sword, the one in the center was coordinated with a shield and a spear, and the one who was supplemented in the back was only equipped with a spear.
Yue Ge first told the Janissaries of the shield to the Janissaries in the battle array, and there were a total of five spells for the shield, which were protect, merge, withdraw, and receive.
She commanded the Praetorian Guards in the battle array to demonstrate the use of shields to the other Praetorian Guards, when protecting, the shield-bearer's left arm was raised diagonally upward, silently reciting the incantation, and the shield was opened; when the shield-bearer's left arm was kept on a horizontal line, all the shields merged together to form a large shield, at this time, the people in the battle array should pay attention to keeping the same pace; and when the shield formed a protective shield backwards to protect everyone in the battle array, the shield was the strongest at this time, and the aura consumption would be twice as fast as usual; when the shield was withdrawn, the shield was retracted and returned to a separate shield state; when the shield was retractedγ
After signaling twice, she asked all the Praetorian Guards to follow her in shouting the command and chanting the incantation.
After all the soldiers had memorized their spells, she began to practice battle formations one battle formation after another.
When the Praetorian Guards in the battle array opened the golden light shield and synthesized it into a large shield to form a protective shield, Yue Ming asked Ao Xian and the others to take turns attacking the battle array to test the shield's protective ability.
These ordinary people have exhausted their efforts to feed milk, and they have used various methods, but they have not been able to affect the protective shield in the slightest.
The queen once showed Ji Buyun a large runic weapon battle array blessed with sacrificial judicial power, and now looking at this small melee battle array, she naturally didn't feel particularly surprised.
Ao Xian and several other middle-level soldiers of the Praetorian Guard had only heard of rune weapons, and now they saw the real protective power of the battle array, and they were all shocked, especially Ao Xian, who had been in the army for a long time, knew what this battle array represented on the battlefield, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't know where to put his excited hands.
The commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard, Xitu Xiao, rushed to hear the news, and after he saw the protective power of the runic weapon battle array, he high-fived and celebrated with Ao Xian, and he was so excited that he didn't know why.
After training the shield, Yue Ge picked up a rune weapon that combined a javelin and a spear, she pointed to the pattern of nine short and one long on it and said, these nine short patterns represent nine rune javelins, one long represents a spear, the javelin is one less shot, and the spear is used for the same time and times as the shield.
There are only two commands for the javelin, which are lifting and throwing, she asked Ji Buyun to help demonstrate the use of the javelin, when she shouted the password to lift, Ji Buyun, who was about to throw, had an extra golden javelin in his hand, and when she shouted the command to throw, Ji Buyun threw the javelin towards a stone in the distance.
The golden javelin landed accurately on the stone, blooming with a dazzling light, accompanied by a deafening explosion, and dust and stones flew away. After the light passed, the smoke cleared, and the stone was completely gone.
The middle and upper echelons of the Praetorian Guard, who had just been shocked by the power of the shield, were now shocked by the tremendous power of the runic javelin, and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.
Ao Xian slapped his thigh fiercely, then sat on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and said to himself with a crying voice: "Turn over, turn over, turn over completely, finally turn over." β
He was forced to retire from his position as commander of the Standing Army, and he had constant illusions that the Praetorian Guard could replace the Standing Army. The sheer power of the runic weapon gave him a real hope of hope.
Xituxiao's first action after waking up from the shock was to rush directly towards Yue Ming and Yue Ge, and he hurriedly said: "Give me one, give me one." β
Yue Ming gave him a rune weapon, gave him another password, and then pointed to a big tree in the distance, "Listen to my password, target, that tree." β
Situxiao followed her instructions and threw the javelin very, very standardly.
The javelin hit the tree accurately, and the tree was cut in two in a dazzling light and a deafening explosion.
When the canopy hit the ground, all the Praetorian Guards shouted wildly.
The two elven maids didn't know why, and they looked at Ji Buyun with inquiring eyes.
Ji Buyun waved his hand at them and said, "It's okay, they haven't seen a rune weapon before, and they were stunned by the huge power of this weapon, they haven't seen the world, they haven't seen the world, don't care." β
The two elven maidens and the senior brothers of the Qi clan were amused by his words.
After everyone returned to normal, Xitu Xiao pulled Ao Xian and Ji Buyun to the barracks headquarters, as soon as he entered the headquarters, he first slapped the table for a while, and then rubbed his red palms and smiled at the two of them: "Good things, really good things, brother, you have made a great contribution to our Praetorian Guard this time, haha, great, great, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, what should we do next?"
Ao Xian pinched his chin and said, "It would be nice if there were a few thousand more rune weapons, and equip our Praetorian Guard, and then the status of the Praetorian Guard and the Standing Army will be reversed." β
He is still the overwhelming standing army in his heart.
Ji Buyun said: "My opinion is that we are equipped with fifty battle formations, one battle formation with five shields, four swords, and two spears, I have calculated, two hundred rune swords, can only be equipped with these battle formations, after equipping the battle array, there are still one hundred and fifty shields left, three hundred spears, and a small military formation can be organized to deal with some special situations." β
Ao Xian said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that such a good thing is not used in battle." β
Xitu smiled and said, "Commander Ao, don't forget what the duties of our Praetorian Guards are. β
Ji Buyun said: "Captain, I will give you one hundred and fifty shields and three hundred spears left, and you can organize a small military formation according to the combat mode." β
Ao Xian said: "Okay, this army formation under the command of Lao Tzu can abolish a legion of the standing army." β
Ji Buyun said in his heart: You haven't seen the rune weapon battle array blessed by the mage's mana, and the power is earth-shattering.
Xitu said: "Commander Ao, let's organize fifty battle formations according to what Brother Ji said, and the Priests' House and the Senate will each arrange fifteen in three shifts to be on duty, leaving twenty for backup, and then organize a small military formation, what do you think?"
Ao Xian said: "Then I will do what the commander-in-chief wants, you two will talk first, I still want to go to the training ground to have a look." β
Xitu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, what about Brother Ji?"
Ji Buyun could only accompany them.
The two of them saw the sunset all the time, and only after the training was over did they reluctantly return to Hao Tiancheng.
After dinner, Ji Buyun was reclining on a chair and wondering if the high priest could make an appointment with him today, when Anya came in to report that the priest of Woyue had visited.
He sprang out with a single lunge.
The two little priests brought by the priest of Woyue each held a jar of wine in their hands, and when she saw Ji Buyun, she smiled and said, "Your Excellency the High Priest, I have something to tell you." β
Ji Buyun was waiting for the next step, and found that she looked at herself with a smile and stopped talking.
He understood that the high priest needed to carry someone to convey what Wo Yue had to tell, and said with a smile: "Please inside the priest." β
After the two entered Ji Buyun's headquarters, Priest Woyue smiled and said, "My lord, let me tell you that she can't accompany you in the past two days, so let these two jars of Baihua wine brewed by her herself accompany you instead of her." β
After speaking, he left with a smile.
Under the candlelight, Ji Buyun stared at the two jars of wine for a while, and finally decided not to drink, so let's hurry up and cultivate.
When he began to practice the dragon dance, the scroll with the word "dragon" written on it in the divine mansion opened by itself, and he followed the guidance of the ink on the scroll, and did every movement in a relaxed manner, and the aura between heaven and earth began to pour into his body crazily, when his whole body was filled with blazing aura again, his divine consciousness was once again frozen in the boundless thickness of the ink, and a burst of coolness rose from the divine mansion, instantly spreading throughout the entire body, completely engulfing the blazing heat of the aura mass.
In the sea of qi, the colorful pearl of that entity was more than twice as large as yesterday, and now it is not a soybean, but a pea.
After the cultivation was over, he silently memorized the Qi Suppression Technique again, and now he can completely recite these four things correctly.
When he recited the sentence "refining oneself to build a foundation, refining the gods and transforming the void, refining the void and merging the way" in the chapter on transforming qi, his mind moved, and according to the requirements of the text, he lay quietly on the bed, with his hands folded, left up and right down, and placed on the sea of qi.
The divine consciousness was concentrated on the seven-colored pearl in the sea of qi.
He felt the Prismatic Orb emit a brilliant brilliance and slowly began to turn, the speed of the rotation in keeping with his breathing.
Countless thin threads of heat radiated from the Colorful Pearl, slowly flowing through every part of his body, and the heat was constantly dredged every meridian of his body, forging every inch of his body's skin.
He felt that his body was now completely out of his own, and that he had blended into the world around him.
Finally, when the heat slowly retreated into the colorful bead in the sea of qi, he was surprised to find that a faint dragon shadow was reflected on the bead.
What was the situation? There was no such thing in the scroll, and he felt that he should ask someone in detail to find out.
He got up and walked out of his residence, the Praetorian Guards on duty in the barracks saw him come out and greeted him loudly, he asked casually, and the Praetorian Guards on duty told him that he was now a son, and before he knew it, he had been cultivating for two hours.
He stood at the gate of the barracks, looking at the five overhanging peaks on the mountain behind the priest's courtyard, the red palace of the high priest was still lit, and she had not even rested.
He closed his eyes and used his divine sense to try to communicate with the high priest, the high priest's face flashed in his mind, he smiled proudly, it seemed that the high priest couldn't help but think of himself when he was cultivating.
This period of time is the time when the relationship between him and the high priest is sublimated, the two are tender and sweet, like glue, and they can't wait to be together all the time, and they don't see each other for a few days in a row.
Ji Buyun walked out of the barracks, and among the Praetorian Guards on duty in front of the priest's courtyard, it turned out to be Qi Seventeen.
Ji Buyun felt that this Wind God Temple prince was well-informed, and he should know what was going on with the sudden appearance of the dragon's shadow on the colorful pearl in the sea of qi.
He walked over and greeted Qi Seventeen and said, "Good work, Brother Qi." β
Seeing that it was him, Qian Qiqi smiled and said, "Brother Ji, the boss hasn't rested yet, how dare the younger brother leave his post without permission." β
Ji Buyun smiled: "Brother Yu is polite, I just have something I want to consult you." β
The two walked to the side, and Ji Buyun learned about the sudden appearance of the dragon's shadow on the aura mass in his sea of qi with Qi Qi, and finally said, "Does Brother Qi know what's going on?"
Qian Qiqi asked with a surprised face, "Brother Ji said that the Colorful Pearls in your Qi Sea are physical?"
Ji Buyun said: "Yes." β
Qian Seventeen asked again, "It exudes a faint brilliance, and there is a dragon's shadow on it?"
Ji Buyun said: "Yes." β
Qian Qiqi seemed to be stunned, staring at Ji Buyun, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Buyun said: "Brother Qian, Brother Qi." β
Qian Seventeen came back to his senses, asked again, and said, "Brother Ji are sure that it is the physical seven-colored pearl, and there is a dragon's shadow on it?
Ji Buyun said: "I determined it with my divine sense. β
Qian Seventeen said: "It shouldn't be, Brother Ji started cultivating after the lifting of the ban on human aura, right?"
Ji Buyun said: "Yes." β
Qian Qiqi looked confused, and muttered to himself: "It shouldn't be, it's impossible? Three months, how can it be?"
Ji Buyun hurriedly asked, "Brother Qian, what's going on?"
Qian Qiqi found a stone nearby, pulled Ji Buyun to sit down, looked at Ji Buyun and said, "Brother Ji, can you show me your aura heritage?"
Ji Buyun said: "Yes, yes, how to show it?"
Qian Qiqi said: "I heard that Brother Ji has a sword that can spit out swords, so please use a sword to show my junior brother." β
Ji Buyun stood up, summoned the purple gold sword, moved as he wished, poured the aura into the purple gold sword, and he aimed at a big tree more than ten zhang away, and stabbed out a sword with all his might.
The colorful light flashed, and with a soft sound, the sword light actually passed through the tree.
Qi Qiqi jumped up in surprise, Ji Buyun was also at a loss, he remembered that yesterday with the full force of the three sword sword intent of the law and the meaning of the sword was used to give birth to a sword of about two zhang, how can today with the aura alone, the sword is more than ten zhang long.
Qi Qiqi looked at Ji Buyun in surprise and said, "Brother Ji is sure that he has only practiced for three months?"
Ji Buyun said: "It's really only three months, and it's still a piecemeal cultivation. β
Qi Qiqi began to mumble to himself again, "How is it possible? Three months, how is it possible?"
Ji Buyun said: "Brother Qian, what's going on?"
Qian Seventeen was still muttering to himself, "Impossible, there must be something wrong, impossible." β
Okay Seventeen, why did you suddenly start talking to yourself endlessly, Ji Buyun was puzzled.
Qi Qiqi untied the sword at his waist, handed it to Ji Buyun with the scabbard, and said, "Brother Ji, trouble Brother Ji, try again with my sword." β
Ji Buyun felt that this Qian Seventeen must have been stimulated and infected by Nan Wan'er, who had always been polite, and now he spoke upside down, and even changed his self-proclaimed name from his younger brother to me.
