Chapter 177: The War Is Deadlocked
After all the troops had passed through the light gate, Zhou Xiaoning paused for a moment to stabilize the spatial passage so that it would not collapse without the shuttle gem.
Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoning stepped over the light gate and saw the completion of the large array, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
In terms of formation, Zhou Xiaoning can also be regarded as an expert, and he can see the subtlety of this formation at a glance.
If you want to talk about what formation is the most famous during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang's gossip array can definitely be on the list. In the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang used the Bagua Array twice, once when Liu Bei failed to defeat Sun Quan and defeated the White Emperor City.
And this stone soldier eight array is a gossip array built with stones, although it is only a dead array that no one operates, but if it weren't for Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and son-in-law, who brought Lu Xun and others out of the array, Lu Xun and the Eastern Wu army under his command would be trapped inside.
In contrast, the second use of the Bagua Array is much more formal, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan to the north to attack Cao Wei, met Sima Yi led the troops to meet the attack, the two met to compete in the formation, Zhuge Liang put out the Bagua Array at that time, even though Sima Yi's talent was no less than Zhuge Liang, but he was still helpless against this formation.
And the formation in front of Zhou Xiaoning was obviously born from the Bagua Array, and then combined with the essence of the Immortal Dao Formation, thus evolving into a new formation.
If Zhou Xiaoning didn't guess wrong, the eight golden gates that were side-by-side in front of the alien creatures should correspond to the eight hexagrams of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening. The entire Bagua Array is its own formation space, and the eight golden doors are the entrances to the formation space, and which door you enter from will be teleported to the corresponding hexagram position.
Each hexagram is a small array, that is to say, the entire Bagua array is a set of arrays within a array, a large array, and eight small arrays are almost perfectly connected together, and its complexity is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And the eight small arrays can be switched with each other at any time, thus driving the changes of the big array, one moment is the door of life, the next moment it may become the door of death, unless it is a person who is very proficient in this set of gossip arrays, it is impossible to control, or even crack this set of gossip arrays.
Even Zhou Xiaoning is the same, although he can see the subtlety of a gossip array, but if he wants to break the formation, he has no clue. The only way is probably to break through, as the so-called one force will drop ten, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how exquisite the formation is, it will appear fragile and powerless.
However, those alien creatures obviously don't have such strength, otherwise they wouldn't be used as cannon fodder. At the same time, they will not have the mind to break the formation, otherwise they will not be brainwashed by Thanos and be proud of death.
"Wolong deserves to be Wolong, it's really a hit, it's a blockbuster, it seems that those annihilators and god slayers have no chance to appear."
Zhou Xiaoning shook his head helplessly, in fact, since Zhuge Liang joined his command, Zhou Xiaoning always felt as if he was holding back his strength, this is probably a common problem for people with real talents and real learning, and they all want a stage that can show their talents.
It's just that Zhuge Liang's strength, which has just been recruited, is only at the level of the third order, and he is inconspicuous in the two realms city where the strong are like clouds. In addition, his military and political talents are also because the Two Realms City just entered a period of steady development, everything just needs to be done step by step, coupled with the lack of understanding of the present world, so that Zhuge Liang does not know how to implement it even though he has countless ideas in his heart. During that time, the boredom in Zhuge Liang's heart increased day by day, and finally Zhou Xiaoning gave him a chance to lead his troops to the battle, and he naturally wanted to go all out.
But then again, Zhuge Liang was really ruthless, after causing hundreds of thousands of alien creatures to be in the gossip array, he immediately opened the killing array, reversed the birth gate, turned into a death door, and completely cut off the upgrade in the formation space.
The six young Yang generals, as well as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, all had sixth-order combat power, and the eight small formations used them as the center of the formation to launch an ultra-high-speed slaughter of the alien creatures that entered the formation. These alien creatures have been with Thanos for so many years in the Marvel Universe, causing countless killings, and now that they have kicked the iron plate, it is time for them to taste the slaughter as well.
On the other side, under the escort of the Thunderblade Elite Cavalry, the Five Elements Legion finally arrived at the exit of the World Passage. It was a huge, black hole-like whirlpool. The light gate that Zhou Xiaoning opened before was not small, but compared to this whirlpool, it was really insignificant, and Zhou Xiaoning had to support the light gate at least ten times to be comparable to it.
It is precisely because of the existence of such a huge passage that Thanos is able to continue to fight violently. However, this is not a good thing for the Five Elements Legion, which means that what they will have to face next will be much harsher than expected.
"Well, can you? Do you want me to leave a Thunderblade Rider to help you defend together? ”
Zhou Pingzhong asked with a little worry, even at this moment, there are still alien armies coming from time to time in the world passage, coupled with the alien armies that have sensed the abnormality and returned to help, the Five Elements Army is bound to face a situation of being attacked at both ends.
"Hmph, who do you think we are, we've all experienced more brutal battles, where is this."
Luo Fei waved his hand and politely rejected Zhou Pingzhong's kindness: "Thank you Uncle Zhong, but once the Thunder Blade Elite Rider loses its mobility, its combat power will be reduced." What's more, the fighting style of the Thunderblade Elite Rider is different from our Five Elements Legion, and even if it stays, it will only hinder us. Besides, before the expedition, Xiao Ning further improved the Five Elements Battle Array, according to what he said, the power is several times stronger than Zhiqian, and now let's use actual combat to verify whether he has said big things! ”
Although the other four regiment leaders did not speak, their meanings were similar to Luo Fei, they were both the ace army of the Two Realms City, and the Thunder Blade Spirit Rider could kill all directions in the alien army, coming and going freely, if their Five Elements Legion couldn't even stand a world passage exit, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
"This ...... Well, then take care. ”
Zhou Pingzhong saw that the attitudes of the five regiment leaders were so resolute, so he gave up his plan to continue persuasion. The surrounding alien creatures have re-encircled, and if they don't move quickly, even the Earth Dragon will not be able to launch a charge, which can be fatal to the Thunderblade Rider.
"Thunder Blade Elite Cavalry, Charge Sincerely, Southeast, Kill!"
Zhou Pingzhong pinpointed the place where alien creatures were most concentrated, and then led the Thunderblade Spirit Rider to kill the past, and everywhere he passed, there were corpses of alien creatures.
"Everyone, the other legions have already shined, we can't afford to lag behind, now let those ugly creatures taste the power of our Five Elements Reincarnation Array!"
Han Nuo, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Legion, shouted with high morale, and for a while, five thousand and five marches corresponded at the same time.
The Five Elements Legion's housekeeping ability is the battle array, and since the day the legion was established, they have never slackened in the battle array drills, so if you talk about the proficiency of the battle array, the Five Elements Army is much stronger than the temporary clinging War Dragon Legion.
[Five Elements Reincarnation Array] is an advanced battle array deduced by Zhou Xiaoning on the basis of the Five Elements Battle Array. Once this battle array is operational, the power of the five elements will circulate and flow within the battle array, and at the same time, the five elements divine beast will also merge into one, turning into a divine general who has mastered the power of the five elements, and its power is so strong that it can even compete with the peak powerhouse of the seventh order.
There is such a god who will stand at the exit of the world channel, it is really a husband, ten thousand people can't open it, the alien creatures in the present world can't go back, and the alien creatures in the Marvel world can't come over.
So far, everything is going according to Zhou Xiaoning's plan, and the offensive of the alien army has been blocked by the army of the Two Realms City, giving the North American coalition forces a rare respite.
You must know that in the past week, those hateful alien creatures seem to be untiring, and have launched suicidal attacks on the coalition lines around the clock, forcing the coalition forces to fight 24 hours a day.
With such a high-intensity battle, even if those weapons can withstand it, the soldier's body can't hold on. In the past two days, there have been many cases of sudden death of soldiers, but there are no wounds on their bodies, and after the diagnosis of the military doctor, the final conclusion is sudden death.
If this continues, without the help of those alien creatures, it will not be long before the North American coalition will collapse confidently. It's not that the coalition forces don't want to ask for support, it's because the soldiers who can fight have already been transferred to the front line, and there are really no troops to adjust.
Claire Martin, commander-in-chief of the North American Alliance, a sixth-order peak Chosen One, and also a powerhouse whose strength can rank among the top five in North America. The initial reward of the source disk allowed him to get the X Gene and become a mutant with the ability to manipulate the air, and the air cannon he blasted with all his might was enough to flatten a bustling city.
But even with such a strong man in charge, the situation on the battlefield is still not optimistic. Claire had even made a decision to hold out for a while, and if the alien army's offensive did not abate by twelve o'clock at midnight, he would lead the coalition forces to withdraw to the second line of defense. In the past seven days, the sappers had already laid all kinds of mines on the way to retreat, and if they could not severely damage the alien army, they could at least delay their offensive and buy time for the coalition soldiers to recuperate.
However, Claire's entire plan was shattered by the army of the Two Realms that had descended from the sky, but instead of being angry, he was ecstatic, he didn't care where this army came from, but it seemed to be on their side, and that was enough.
"Pass my orders to recalibrate the firing elements of all artillery pieces and provide long-range support to our friendly forces! Be careful not to hurt your allies. ”
Claire immediately ordered that whether the entire territory of North America can be kept depends on this battle.
The soldiers below didn't know that Claire had already planned to retreat, and thought that the reinforcements that appeared now were already in contact with the Alliance. Seeing that the friendly forces were so violent, pressing the alien creatures to fight, the morale of the North American coalition army suddenly soared, and even the previous fatigue was swept away at this moment, and all the soldiers were once again in high spirits and threw themselves into the battle.
Although there was no communication in advance, the army of the Two Realms City and the North American coalition army seemed to have rehearsed several times, and the cooperation was called a tacit understanding. At this moment, the alien army, which was originally just a frustrated attack, showed signs of being suppressed at this time.
"Pretty capable."
Zhou Xiaoning raised his eyebrows, it seems that among the human survivors, there are still many talents. This is very good, and it can come in handy when fighting against the Chaos Heavenly Demon in the future.
"Now is not the time to praise people, the troublesome guy is on the scene."
Tony said unhappily, if it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing a steel suit mask, Zhou Xiaoning would definitely be able to see a face that looked like he was eating an apple and eating half a worm.
The guy who can make Tony so disgusted, Zhou Xiaoning is really a little curious.
Zhou Xiaoning looked in the direction Tony was facing, and saw that among the large group of alien creatures that seemed to be beasts, there were four more aliens, all of them were wearing clothes or armor, and some were even holding weapons, and they knew at a glance that they were intelligent beings.
The four of them are Thanos' children, the Dead Blade General, Proxima Centauri of the Night, Ebony Throat, and Black Dwarf.
Originally, according to the setting of Marvel Comics, there should be a superstar, five people and called the Obsidian Five Generals, and their identities are also Thanos' subordinates, not children. And what appeared in front of him was obviously in the plot of the movie, which couldn't help but make Zhou Xiaoning breathe a sigh of relief, after all, compared with the description in the comics, the strength of the characters in the movie version has been weakened to a certain extent.
Thinking about it this way, Thanos doesn't seem to be so scary.
"What's the matter, Tony, don't those guys owe you any money?"
Zhou Xiaoning knew that Tony must have been beaten by Ebony Throat like the original plot, but he wanted to pretend not to know, just to see Tony's embarrassing appearance, which is not common in normal times.
"He doesn't owe me money, but he owes me an account that I have to get back. Let's say okay first, hand over the tall and thin man to me, don't rob me of anyone! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony controlled the steel suit to soar into the sky, heading straight for Ebony Throat. You must know that in the past seven days of the present world, in the seven years of the school park apocalyptic world, Tony is not patronizing and having fun, he first absorbed and digested part of Zhou Xiaoning's latest science and technology, and then wholeheartedly created a new generation of steel suits.
Don't look at the steel suit that Tony is wearing now and the one he came here is not much different, but whether it is defense, the power of the weapons, and other aspects of performance have been greatly improved. If Tony could fight with the early seventh-order powerhouse in the previous steel suit, then now after he wears the steel suit, he can completely go head-to-head with the seventh-order late-stage powerhouse.
Because of this, Tony is very confident that he can get back on the field this time.
