Chapter 63: The Terrifying Demon Beast Forest
The military system of the Eastern Qi State, when the commander leads the troops outside, he has the right to control, and at the same time, he also has the right to temporarily organize an army to join his command, but the army that is incorporated is only temporary, and at the same time must not exceed the number of his own army, Ji Renfeng's current position is the commander, and his subordinates can lead a group of 60,000 people, that is to say, he has the right to recruit the same number of monks to become his temporary subordinates, and it is also a very simple matter to temporarily recruit Fang Rui and them to become a battalion of men.
Because this battalion was commanded by Fang Rui, their name was also known as the "Fangzi Battalion".
"The nearest battalion was on a rotational rest of an hour...... You can take this time to go to the supply wall and see how the monsters are impacting...... It's good to be mentally prepared. We want zero casualties, and I don't want any of you to die in the clutches of the monsters, lest Dean Dusk come to blame me. If your strength and cooperation are not enough to protect your own lives under such an onslaught, then I will cancel the establishment of your battalion, understand?"
With Ji Renfeng's words echoing in his mind, Fang Rui led his "Fangzi Battalion" and climbed the supply wall.
There are no stairs for people to walk up to the supply wall, because the soldiers who come here to defend against the demon beasts are not of the first grade, and those monks who can't even break through the innate period are not qualified to participate in the border army at all.
When they climbed to the top of the wall and looked out of the wall, a scene that was enough to shock everyone appeared in front of Fang Rui and his Fang Zi Battalion.
Beyond the supply wall, there is a clearing that is sixty miles long and five miles wide, and beyond the clearing, there is a dark demon beast forest!
In the place close to the supply wall, five hundred people were a battalion, and a battalion guarded a place for a mile, countless magic weapons crisscrossed the air and the ground, and the sound of fighting resounded in the sky!
Near the Demon Beast Forest, there was a steady stream of demon beasts, rushing over like a tide, but when they rushed to a place far away from the camp, it seemed that there was a strong force to separate them, and they could only rush to the place in front of them, and they were clearly distinguished.
"Between every mile, there is an invisible barrier, even a six-rank demon beast can't break through such a barrier, so each battalion only needs to face the demon beast that rushes over this mile head-on. ”
Tian Dan explained with a smile on his face, on the way up, Fang Rui had already heard Tian Xingjian say, this monk named Tian Dan was originally a foreign disciple of the Tian family, but he cultivated an earth-shattering fire cultivation, and it was more and more valued in the Tian family, and being able to lead a private army of the Tian family was enough to prove that Tian Dan was an extremely important part of the Tian family.
He is also the object of admiration and hard work of foreign children like Tian Xingjian.
"Thank you, Commander Tian...... In this way, what we have to pay attention to is only the demon beast in front of us. Fang Rui said thoughtfully.
"That's right, it's just that the demon beasts in front of you are not only on the ground, but also in the air, and even underground, there will be continuous demon beasts gushing out, but there are also prohibitions underground, and those demon beasts that escape from the ground must also jump out of the ground when they are close to you. Tian Dan was obviously a very careful person, constantly explaining to Fang Rui.
"Each battalion has to defend for six hours, and the rest of the time is resting, recuperating mana, and practicing tactics, and there are 120,000 men here, and no one can be idle. ”
Fang Rui nodded, it was obvious that the Eastern Qi Kingdom already had a very mature system for the breakthrough of resisting demon beasts, and if they wanted to join in, in addition to proving that they could do what other battalions could do, they also had to be able to ensure that they would not be harmed in any way, otherwise, they would not be qualified to conduct trials here.
120,000 people, 30,000 people, exactly one battalion guarding one mile, it seems that the number of guards here is also carefully calculated.
While Fang Rui was calm about this, the other five hundred students were deeply shocked.
They are all geniuses, they are all talented, and they have also gone through tragic battles in the trial, but the tragedy of this battlefield is still beyond their imagination!
All kinds of strange-shaped monsters surged over from the place where they could see, flying in the sky and running on the ground, screaming fiercely, like a torrent of flesh and blood, rushing over without fear of death!
And after rushing closer, countless magic weapons were wielded, and countless spells flashed with brilliant light and streaked through the air, tearing apart the bodies of the demon beasts and sprinkling their blood.
Tian Xingjian saw that a demon ape, with the blue mist behind him, roared all the way and rushed to kill, but it was continuously pierced through the body by ten crimson sword lights, and after letting out a huge roar, it fell down blindly.
When this demon ape pounced, the primordial spirit above his head was condensed, it was obvious that it was a demon beast that had reached the sixth rank and was only one step away from entering the free period, such a demon beast was enough to become the overlord of that dangerous place in any C-level dangerous place, but in an instant, it lost its life!
Stumps, blood rain, flying all over the sky, a fierce demon beast died under the dense all-round blow, there was that brave demon beast when it was close to the defensive position when it exploded the demon pill desperately, but it was offset by a heavy earthen wall and turned invisible, it was the earth monk in the border army protecting his comrades.
The combat power of the border army is indeed amazing, and this kind of unmoved psychology of slaughtering demon beasts is also strong enough.
The faces of the students are a little pale, among the demon beasts that pounced, there are not many fourth-grade and fifth-grade demon beasts, and occasionally sixth-grade demon beasts appear, with the strength of their battalion of men and horses, can they resist it?
Fang Rui also frowned, he also discovered this problem - this battalion of people and horses of the highest second grade, if they concentrated their strength, it would probably not be a problem to destroy the fifth-grade demon beasts, but with the speed of this dense impact of the demon beasts, would this group of centaurs really have time to destroy their opponents?
"To be honest, the strength of your group is still a little worse. Tian Dan commented very pertinently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we're going to have to talk about it. Fang Rui nodded, and then raised his voice and said to the students: "Now let's go down and discuss this issue well." ”
The students of the Fangzi Camp were silent and jumped off the supply wall with Fang Rui, and Tian Dan smiled silently behind him.
"Your Excellency, this battalion wants to be like us...... It's still far from it. A soldier beside him said with a frown.
"Young people, you always have to know something before you are in awe...... And I see that they have also learned about the dangers of the Demon Beast Forest, if it weren't for the difficulty, it wouldn't be one of the places for us to exercise the combat power of the border army. If they want to go somewhere else, let them go. Tian Dan replied with a smile.
Tian Dan didn't think that this team of students from the Intermediate Academy would be able to survive here, you must know that although most of the 120,000 monks here are first-grade and second-grade monks, the backbone of each battalion is all monks who have exceeded the Great Dao period! A battalion has at least one fifth-grade monk as the battalion commander, ten fourth-grade monks as the backbone, dozens of third-grade monks and first-grade and second-grade monks who account for the majority, so that they can stand tall in the impact.
What about Fang Rui's battalion? The main force is more than 80 second-grade monks, although the number is about the same, but in terms of strength, it is more than ten times worse than a battalion of the border army!
At most, it will withstand the impact for an hour, and maybe it will not be able to resist it -- this is Tian Dan's estimate of the combat strength of this battalion.
"It's that I didn't think about it enough, I didn't expect the Demon Beast Forest to be so cruel at all......"
Fang Rui sighed and said, all the students were also silent, they didn't expect that the Demon Beast Forest was actually such a situation, the 120,000 monks of the border army, they had to maintain such a strong combat power to be able to withstand the constant impact of the demon beasts.
"When I was observing just now, I found a situation, that is, every attack of each battalion of the border army is mixed together, and the spells cancel each other out a lot, if we can solve such a problem...... It's not that there are no opportunities. ”
Fang Rui pondered, and then said: "Between spells and spells, especially between spells that a large number of monks shoot together, it is impossible not to hinder each other, if this problem can be solved, with our overall combat strength, it is actually not impossible to resist the impact of demon beasts." ”
"We all know each other well, but that's not the actual problem...... It's those high-grade demon beasts, and we can't deal with them in a short period of time. ”
After a sigh, the enemy sighed and said: "With the strength of our joint efforts, the fourth-grade demon beasts can be killed lightly, and the fifth-grade demon beasts will take some time to kill, how can we deal with the other demon beasts that pounce during this period? Not to mention the sixth-grade demon beasts, we have to fight around for half a day before we can kill them...... That's the hardest part to deal with. ”
"If all of our mana is continuously concentrated, it will still be enough, and the speed of the demon beast's attack is not so fast, and we have time to buffer. Fang Rui said after thinking about it.
"How is this possible, mana is like flowing water, we can't accumulate all the mana. Gai Yiming shook his head and said with an incredulous expression.
"Possibly...... That's why I said, we need to test it. ”
As soon as Fang Rui raised his hand, the Guiyi Seal emerged from the top of his head, flashing with a strange light.
"Everyone knows that I am a ninth-line warlock, and the natal magic weapon I refined does not have much peculiarity in attack, but there is one of the most peculiar places, that is, it can absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi almost infinitely, and then release it according to my mind. ”
Fang Rui said lightly, his words immediately caused incredible exclamations from the students.
"After refining, I have tried it, at least all my true qi is input into the Unified Seal, and it will not be unbearable, but what I have imported is pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, not the mana of each system, so I need to test it, first, how much mana can be contained in the capacity of the Unified Seal, and second, whether the mana of each system you have cultivated can be stored well, if these two problems can be solved, we don't seem to need to worry too much in the attack. ”
"Is it really that peculiar?"
The eyes of the enemy flashed, they naturally knew how amazing Fang Rui's words were, if there was a magic weapon that could really store the mana of all systems almost unlimitedly, this kind of magic weapon could simply subvert the war system on the Flying Immortal Continent!
"This is refined by my natal mana...... It seems that it is also impossible to form a promotion. Fang Rui laughed slightly.
