(The "Peiyuan Realm" in the last sentence of the previous chapter should be "Heavenly Mandate Realm", which has been modified.) ）

The research on the 5-star circle did not go well.

Compared to a 4-star magic circle, the complexity of a 5-star circle was several times higher, and it took Fang Mo a whole day just to figure out the design intent and overall idea of the entire magic circle.

And this alone is certainly not enough to master this circle.

The real difficulty lies in completely replicating the magic circle in the body to form a magic circle that can be used by the successful method of refining the flying sword of the human body.

This not only requires Fang Mo to master it, but also requires Fang Mo to be able to make corresponding modifications according to the characteristics of his physical body and the cooperation of the exercises.

Although a lot of similar things had been done, and he had also completed the mastery of more than a dozen 4-star magic circles, when it was his turn to be a 5-star magic circle, Fang Mo still felt inadequate.

This is something that can't be helped, after all, the higher the star rating, the higher the difficulty of mastering.

Fang Mo hadn't been able to completely and thoroughly master the 4-star magic circle now, so he jumped directly to the 5-star magic circle, and the difficulty of learning and mastering it was of course much higher.

The reason why he asked Ma Yuanning for a 5-star magic circle blueprint was more to feel it in advance.

And I have to say that studying the 5-star magic circle can still bring him benefits.

Although he couldn't fully master this 5-star magic circle, some of the inspiration he gained from studying it and using it in those magic circles that he had mastered before still made Fang Mo's strength improve again, and in just a few days, he was promoted from the 7th order to the 8th order of the Zhiji Realm.

When the warship arrived at the target planet, it did not land directly on the surface, but stopped at the space station and let a group of people down.

This planet, which is locally named "Enke Belt Qi Red Deer", which translates to "Yellow Sand Star" in the language of the Earth Federation, belongs to the Calcou Alliance at the border with the Earth Federation.

Because the regime of the Calcow Alliance is loose, unlike the Earth Federation, which is under a unified regime, there are actually nearly hundreds of countries large and small on the Yellow Sand Star, and there are many chieftaincy associations that are not even countries.

On the surface, the Earth Federation and the Calcow Alliance are good countries to form allies, but the warship they took this time was still for the purpose of a friendly military visit.

And Ma Yuanning and the group of federal soldiers he led were actually not on the visit list at all.

Down to the surface, Ma Yuanning took the lead, posing as a rich kid traveling, and the 70 federal officers were all his subordinates, bodyguards, etc., Fang Mo...... It's probably just a little follower.

A local man came up and received the group of them, and they went to an oasis in the desert somewhere in the northern hemisphere of the planet, where they set up camp.

According to some information that Ma Yuanning revealed to Fang Mo in private, the locals who received them were actually undercover agents planted by the Federation here, and they had already obtained accurate information about the activities of the Rogat Divine Cult in this vicinity, and then they only needed to find the specific location of their stronghold, and they could directly launch an attack.

As long as this stronghold is destroyed and all the people of the Cult of Rogat are eliminated, the mission will be considered a success.

Ma Yuanning didn't reveal more detailed information to Fang Mo, anyway, Fang Mo's task was mainly to reinforce the rear, responsible for solving possible flying sword-related problems, or repairing and maintaining the damaged flying sword in battle, etc.

He didn't even have to go to the front line.

Fang Mo was naturally happy to be idle, so he stayed in the huge manor of this oasis and continued to repeat the days of the previous days.

While inspecting the flying swords of those soldiers and making small improvements to their requirements to make the flying swords more suitable for their usage habits, he continued to practice and studied the 5-star circle blueprints.

When Fang Mo was busy, Ma Yuanning and the others were certainly not idle.

These days, Fang Mo watched them keep going in and out of the manor, occasionally coming back with the appearance of having experienced battles.

When their flying swords are damaged in battle, it's time for Fang Mo to step up.

After 11 days in a row, the situation finally changed a little.

Early in the morning, Ma Yuanning returned to the manor with a group of people, and Fang Mo was surprised to find that among the 30 soldiers dispatched this time, they were all injured when they came back, and two of them were even so seriously injured that they fell into a coma.

As for the flying swords they used, almost every one of them had different damage, and even a few people's flying swords were completely destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but go to Ma Yuanning.

"It's nothing, I've been ambushed a little, just rest and recuperate, and don't get in the way." Ma Yuanning was very arrogant, as if this was not a problem. "But this time, I finally got accurate information. The bunnies of the Cult of the Rogat God were hiding in such a hard-to-find place, no wonder they had not been able to find them out before. But this time, since I found you, then you won't have a good life! ”

After speaking, Ma Yuanning stared at Fang Mo with a solemn expression.

"Fang Mo, I'm afraid I can't let you stay in the back at ease this time. The strength of those guys was a little bit more than we expected. According to the battle rehearsal, when we engage them, the weapon loss should be very large, so you will need to provide emergency logistical support on the spot. ”

"No problem." Fang Mo shrugged. "You are fighting life and death in the front, I can't always watch the play comfortably in the back alone, can I? Anyway, you said before you came here that this operation will be a little dangerous, and I am mentally prepared. ”

"That's good." Ma Yuanning nodded.

He was not a person who dragged his feet, in fact, even if Fang Mo had an opinion, he was ready to persuade or even directly forcibly order Fang Mo to carry it out.

But since Fang Mo took the initiative to agree, he was of course even happier.

"We expect to storm that stronghold in two days' time, and you'll be in the rear at any time ready to temporarily repair and replenish the flying swords we've worn out in battle. I'll send a few people to follow you to protect you, and you just need to do your thing in peace. ”

"There's no need." Fang Mo waved his hand. "How can I say that I am also a monk of the Zhiji Realm, and I have the ability to protect myself, so there is no need to send a few other people to protect me. It's better to send them to the front line as well, and it will also improve the combat effectiveness of your front line. ”

"!" Ma Yuanning scolded unceremoniously. "Their mission is not only to keep you safe, but also to give you a safe environment to repair your flying sword. Protecting logistics is the most important thing in all battles, and you think it's just to protect you alone? ”

Seeing Ma Yuanning's serious expression, Fang Mo had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say no more.

"Remember, Fang Mo, although Gezi said that you have killed people and seen blood, this is still different from being on a real battlefield. If you can, I still don't want you to go to the front and kill people, you know what I mean? ”

Fang Mo nodded silently.

Of course he understands that this can be regarded as Ma Yuanning's kindness to protect himself.

For the next three days, everyone in the team looked noticeably nervous.

Fang Mo had also stepped up his time during the past three days to put a final check on each of their flying swords to make sure that there would be no problems in the battle.

In the past three days, he even gave up his own cultivation, and also gave up continuing to study that 5-star magic circle, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to inspecting and maintaining the flying sword.

Three days passed in a flash, and it was time to strike.

After three days of rest, the soldiers who had been injured during the mission had recovered well, their equipment was also fully checked, and they were in good spirits and high morale.

Fang Mo was also a little excited.

This was the first time he had followed them to carry out an operation, and although he was strictly forbidden by Ma Yuanning to approach the battlefield and stay in the rear honestly, he was still full of expectations for personally participating in this kind of operation.

More and more, he discovered that he had the kind of adventurous and challenging character in his bones.

The group left the manor and made a rapid northwest head.

In order not to startle the snakes, they did not use any means of transportation this time, but walked on foot.

Of course, this is nothing to the weakest group of people who are also the strength of the subtle realm.

Although as soon as they left the oasis, they entered a desert, where the yellow sand was everywhere and the sun was scorching, but the speed of the people was still fast.

In just four hours, the group had already traveled 50 kilometers in the desert, resting between two sand dunes.

"Hey, how's that? Fang Mo, can you still hold it? Ma Yuanning suddenly ran over and asked Fang Mo.

Fang Mo couldn't help but smile.

"I said Brother Ma, do you think of me as a delicate aristocratic lady? What's not going to hold on to walking a little bit? ”

Ma Yuanning couldn't help but smile and waved his hand.

"Yes. How can you say that you kid also have the strength to know the machine realm now, and it doesn't tire you to walk such a little way. Now that you're holding on, we're going to increase our speed and advance quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Yuanning looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Fortunately, in order to hide themselves, those idiots did not dare to connect to satellites, not even the pan-galactic network. Otherwise, if we had walked on foot like this, they would have discovered it a long time ago. ”

"After all, it's just a group of cult members, how capable they should be." One of his officers next to him laughed. "After a while, we rushed in and killed them without leaving a piece of armor, so that they regretted that they shouldn't have let their parents give birth to them."

There was a burst of laughter around them, and the soldiers who were traveling with them all had relaxed expressions, obviously not taking the group of Rogat Cultists seriously.

They certainly have that qualification.

According to the intelligence, the most powerful sect leader in the Rogat Divine Cult has the terrifying strength of breaking through the Skyclave, but in fact, not all of the disciples are strong monks, only a few archbishops and dozens of bishops are worth noting.

In addition, the rest of the disciples are at most in the Heavenly Destiny Realm, and the vast majority of the disciples and cultists are just those who have entered the subtle realm or even weaker.

The 70 of them are all in the lowest realm, several of them know the machine realm, they are also well-equipped, well-trained, and have tacit understanding, and it is easy to deal with a stronghold in the Diocese of the Rogat God, and it can even be said to be devastating.

Ma Yuanning also smiled, in a relaxed mood.

If he wasn't sure that this task was indeed easy and simple, he wouldn't have thought of pulling Fang Mo over.

What he didn't actually tell Fang Mo was that the main goal of this mission was not to destroy the stronghold of the Cult of the Rogat, but rather an experiment.

This experiment is to verify those flying swords that have been improved by Fang Mo through actual combat.

If the effect is good enough, it is very likely that the federal military will equip the army with this flying sword in a larger number as a new conventional weapon.

As long as he succeeds, it will not only add a very important sum to Ma Yuanning's qualifications, but also add prestige to his father, Major General Ma Zhengze, and help him be promoted to lieutenant general of the Federation more quickly and go further in the army.

"You guys, all lift my spirits, and when you get to the place in a while, you ......"

Ma Yuanning was about to pretend to be serious and tell this group of subordinates a few more words, when suddenly his eyes shrank and he stared at the sand dunes behind Fang Mo.

Almost at the same time, several of his officers also reacted, and looked at the dunes in unison, showing surprised expressions.

Then they saw a sword shoot out, piercing straight into the dunes.
