Chapter 154: Ten years of sharpening a sword
Explosive Flame Rune, one of the fire runes deciphered from the back armor of the ancient seven-star Xuan Tortoise, this rune can instantly extract the energy of a fire spirit core, and then burst out with a bang, forming a powerful explosive flame impact, even if it is the lowest second-order spirit core, it is equivalent to the power of a grenade on the earth.
Da Chu is constantly advancing, Leng Zhuo, who only occupied the land of Weeping Blood Valley in the past, has established a small psychic academy, and cracked these ancient runes to understand their effects, at the beginning, the research speed of these runes was not fast, but with the continuous expansion of the psychic academy in Weeping Blood Valley, especially the Nangong family, the Long family and other families have also invested in it, and the speed of cracking the ancient runes has been greatly accelerated.
When Da Chu established the kingdom, in this psychic academy, there was already a rune sub-academy, which was listed separately from the psychic academy, and after Da Chu established itself as an empire, the rune sub-academy had become a ** student existence, and had more than a thousand rune array mages.
The profession of formation mage has always belonged to an auxiliary profession before, and most psychics will study some formations, and have also formed a relatively complete formation system, such as hundreds of common runes, which can be arranged or combined through basic formations such as five-pointed star array, six-pointed star array, seven-pointed star array, etc., to form a powerful formation, bursting out of the power that is not weaker than the heavenly spirit, and the power of the Holy Spirit forbidden art.
And the formation profession is even more deeply rooted in the people, and among the general wealthy families, you can often see traces of the formation, such as the ice array in the ice cellar, there will be a breeze array in the room, and the building will be attached to the soil system of the solid earth array, but the formation profession has never been able to compete with the psychic master, and can only act as the second aggrieved.
But with the continuous cracking of the ancient runes and the study of the formation, the rune array mages have gradually grown up. It is difficult for ordinary runes to exert much power on a single person, and they generally require a combination of formations. in order to achieve a certain power. This is also the most frustrating part of the rune array mage, after all, when fighting, people don't have time to set up the formation for you.
However, with the Ancient Runes, this problem is solved. Just pass through the medium, a rune. can unleash a blow that is not weaker than that of the Earth Spirit Warrior, and a powerful rune array mage can craft a large number of rune mediums. It's also more flexible to trigger. This allowed the rune array mage to have the ability to fight the psychic for the first time in a head-on battle.
The strength of the rune array mage lies in the medium, in the rune energy source, that is, if you give a rune array mage a large number of high-level spirit cores. Then a rune array mage who has mastered the foundation of rune formation can compete with a high-level psychic master, if he has a lot of combat experience. And if you make some preparations in advance, you can even take down the Heavenly Spirit Master.
In the war, the rune array mages played a more powerful role, and in Mu Yu's scout camp, there was a ten-person rune array mage, but this group of rune array mages was not only powerful in rune formations, but they were also mid-to-high-level earth spirit warriors, and they were not inferior in close combat.
Form a small rune array of small runes of flame bursts, and connect these small bursting flame pillars in series, so that as long as one rune array is triggered, the fire spirit power will quickly transmit energy through the front line, and let the other rune arrays trigger one by one.
Under the ground on both sides of the river, in a cave like a mole cave, there are two rune array mages, one of which is the fire system, and the other is the earth system, and the earth rune array mage scattered his spiritual power, forming a slight earthquake of the earth ripples, which are like his ears and eyes, and can grasp everything on the ground in his hands.
The barbarians above obviously did not find them, after scattering several waves of scouts, a barbarian took the lead in crossing the river, occupied the river bank, and formed a defensive circle, obviously the barbarian generals were very cautious, and on the river, the small bridge was also being built quickly, two thick giant trees formed the skeleton of the bridge, and some tough wood was laid on it, and a simple bridge was built.
The cart carrying grain creaked and slowly went up the bridge, and suddenly the bridge deck made a protest sound, but it still withstood the pressure, and there were barbarians in front and behind to help make efforts, but it didn't take much effort, a big car crossed the bridge.
After all, the river is not wide, but only three or four zhang wide, but these carts did not continue to move forward, but stopped on the bank, and were guarded by the regiments, probably waiting for all the grain and grass carts to cross the river.
The barbarian's caution made the rune array mages who had been ambushed quite excited.
"Let's do it, not only can I kill most of the other party's grain and grass this time, maybe I can also kill a lot of barbarians with it!"
For this operation, he specially let the empty cavalry run to the Maoshan camp, and put forward a lot of high-level goods from the logistics, such as the fifth-order and sixth-order mid-to-high-level spirit cores, using them as the center of the formation, and using some third-order spirit cores as the feet, they can release a power equivalent to the charged blow of the fire heavenly spirit master.
The fire spiritual power flowed out of the hands of the fire rune array mage continuously, lighting up the spiritual guide line around him, and quickly towards the entire formation stone slab buried in the distance, the spiritual power quickly bypassed each spiritual guide line of the explosive flame rune array, and when the spiritual guide line and runes were all lit up, the entire formation was immediately activated.
The fire energy in the third-order spirit core quickly poured into the spirit guide line, and entered the center of the array, and the fifth-order, egg-sized spirit core was suddenly overwhelmed, click, and a small crack began to appear on the spirit core, and it was constantly cracking and spreading.
And the brightness of those runes filled with flame power also became higher and higher, and finally a few seconds after the formation was activated, the flame rune absorbed enough flame energy, and then entered the fire phoenix that broke through the cocoon, and let out a cracking sound that changed the color of the heavens and the earth.
Peng, this burst flame array was launched, the burst flame charm carried a powerful force, lifted the soil above the head, and exploded violently, and it seemed that the spirit core located in the center of the array was finally completely shattered under the burden, a complete spirit core contains stable spiritual power, and with the different levels of the spirit core, the spiritual power contained in it is also geometrically increased, and the spiritual power in the fifth-order spirit core is released, and there is no longer a bomb containing hundreds of kilograms.
Originally, this spirit core explosion was in all directions, but because of the effect of the rune formation, this explosion was concentrated upwards, although the surrounding earth still shook like a carpet, but compared to the huge pillar of flames that was as spectacular as a volcanic eruption, it was insignificant.
The roar of the flames, the earth also trembled, the giant pillar of fire as thick as a tornado, straight into the air, and the two carts that happened to be above the pillar of flames can be regarded as unlucky, the powerful shock wave, directly lifted the cart weighing several tons, and the angry flames directly engulfed the scattered grain and grass, the frame, and even the barbarians nearby, as well as the two black iron buffaloes pulling the carts.
Peng, Peng, Peng, one after another pillars of flame rose into the sky, just like the festival flowers, those ignited grain with sparks like blooming fireworks, obviously so dazzling, the instant explosion of the pillar of fire, directly across the river dozens of carts included, and hundreds of barbarians in the pillar of fire turned into ashes, the rough skin and thick black iron buffalo also left only the scorched body.
On this side of the river, the pillar of fire has not stopped, on the other side of the river, a pillar of fire relayed like a relay, hundreds of carts of grain, in an instant, flying ashes and annihilation, connecting thousands of barbarian warriors, the pillar of fire did not last long, but the shock brought made the surrounding barbarians all dumbfounded.
The armor of the barbarian who was swept out by the fire wave was already in rags, and there were still flames burning on it, and the dark skin was burned and emitted a burst of meat smell, and his eyes were red looking at this hellish situation, his heart suddenly sank, it was over, it was all over.
Hushanqi, who came to greet them, witnessed this scene from a mile away, and the scorching waves of fire even swept past them: "Damn wolf, I will destroy you!"
The violent shaking was felt even by the Hushan camp thirty miles away, and although the sky-high fire lasted for a short time, it was still seen by some people, and when the night came, the Hushan cavalry who went out to receive grain and grass a thousand miles away brought a large group of wounded soldiers, which made the entire Hushan camp not calm.
After all, the barbarian generals were still weaker in terms of people's hearts, and they completely undisguised the remnants of the food guards into the camp, and did not block the news, and when the events of noon spread throughout the camp, those Hushan Tusi departments who had reduced one meal and only half full for dinner finally could no longer calm down.
Without food and grass, people can still survive for two days, but the beast rider under the crotch will not be so enduring, and if it is not good, there will be chaos, no matter what kind of elite it is, without food, it will not be able to escape the fate of annihilation.
People are iron, rice is steel, there is no strength, even weapons can't be picked, and they still fight!
The internal turmoil of the Hushan Tusi Collar has risen, and the wolf Mao Tusi Ling opposite the Hushan Toast Collar is also busy, the scenery of the explosion, but it is like the last straw that crushes the camel, the time has come, the opportunity that Tan Daoji is waiting for has finally come, and for this day, Tan Daoji has begun to lay out two years in advance, in order to have a brilliant victory.
In addition to the 30,000 Tusi headquarters, there are also large armies sent by the subordinate departments, and in the Tusi army, it is impossible to be like Dachu, how many people in a battalion and how many people in a brigade are completely based on tribes, so it is not easy to command.
But Tan Daoji is driven like an arm, although it is impossible to screw these tribes together, but it can make a precise number of soldiers and horses sent by these tribes, such as 800 to 1,000 people in the small tribe, 2,000 to 3,000 in the middle, and 7,000 to 10,000 in the big tribe.
The soldiers and horses of each department quickly received their respective tasks, quickly returned to their respective camps, and began to take a break and bury the pot to cook, because this battle is not the end, but just a beginning, Tan Daoji does not want the lives of tens of thousands of troops of Hushan Tusi, but directly sweeps away the Hushan Tusi Department.
Night, the stars are twinkling, Tan Daoji is unable to sleep, has been in this world for ten years, although he has fought some battles, but there is no great feats, not even a brilliant battle, ten years of sharpening a sword, this day, will be his Tan Daoji like the bright moon like the day of the shining day.
