Chapter 816: Victory and Defeat
this.Shelves upon shelves stood neatly arranged, with headless ghost employees diligently sorting through the wares. They were all... completely lacking heads!"Hee hee, customer, what would you like...Oh.
The sound of the bugle echoed through the sky.
Wuyicheng is a fortress city of the extraordinary era.
The foundation construction was built in the giant pit hammered out by the Soul Nails, with an underground section that could house spiritual entities.
The city rose from the center of a pit, and a ring surrounding it was filled with water, forming a moat.
In the age of superimposition, is a moat still useful
Flight and long-range spells were incredibly powerful, once causing the world's cities to abandon moats, but then... times changed.
Water ecosystems can accommodate a large number of aquatic creatures, forming a defensive system. As for the water element mages, both wizards and cultivators can access elements nearby.
The city is besieged, and the farmland within can also draw water from the moat, allowing the city to replenish its blue resources.
It can also defend against the opponent's fire-type spells and water-type spells that lower the opponent's star, with many benefits.
Actually, in the Northern Han dynasty's military blueprints, there was a concept called "Five Elements Defense."
After acquiring a large amount of silver ore, Huashi Technology began researching the Pattern Array technology tree.
Fewer than expected cultivation sects have been unlocked so far, and the progress on the battle formations is slow, but it's not stagnant.
According to Lu Cheng's design, a set of Five Elements defense should be a sword formation (Metal) system, actively defending against airborne physical targets capable of inflicting physical damage.
A city park (wood), used for production and blue return.
A moat (water) is used to assist and cool the environment.
A large-scale mechanism furnace core (fire) can unfold a fire spirit energy shield, used to burn and melt opposing magic, hinder energy attacks, and heat the environment.
A massive earthen rampart structure, offering passive defense and providing substantial structural protection. It synergizes with water and wood resources to produce military supplies.
This set consists of five cards, with any star rating on individual cards impacting the overall effect.
For example, the Sword Formation card can descend to 【Celestial Tracks】 and ascend to 【誅仙】.
The Era of Supremacy employs a card deck system.
While the Five Element defenses are absolutely powerful defensive systems.
Different star ratings determine the purpose.
Low-star units can be used by field troops, while high-star units can even be deployed on ships and fortresses.
Of course, Wuwei certainly doesn't have such a trial stage thing, but the moat is still there.
A whiff of chaotic energy drifted by, only to be ripped apart by the ghostly wind.
Zhou Yu and Bai Qi were counting the waterborne troops, and in the distance, they could already see the white snow on Aishen Peak.
The Trojans have arrived.
"Lao Bai, I still remember following Lu Shuai in the Trojan War back then. We flooded the west bank, Nezha stirred the sea, and bombarded Mount Eros. Our army came up with many tricks and attacked with all our might, but we still lost in the east because of the scheme of division. That defeat has been stuck in my throat for these years." Zhou Yu sighed deeply: "At that time, I just wanted to climb the city, dreamed about it, but I didn't even touch the wall of Troy once. Not even once."
Zhou Yu's words were true.
Xiao Huo and Lu Cheng were fine. In the thousand-year war, they were always chased around like chickens and dogs.
The fall of Troy, isn't it just being driven away again
It's nothing big.
Those two, one with a face thicker than the Great Wall, and the other with a temperament larger than the North Sea.
But Gongjin is truly incompetent. He never speaks up, but in reality, he's holding onto a grudge so tightly that it's making him sick. He coughs up blood every day.
If Troy wasn't fair, he probably wouldn't have mastered his cultivation methods. In a few years, he would have vanished without a trace and his soul would have returned to the Karmic Realm.
For a super era with exceptionally long lifespans, per capita/per card, it would definitely be considered dying young.
"Gongjin, I've read the military manuals from those years. Your tactics were exemplary. It is a pity that fortune did not favor you; do not fret." Bai Qi comforted him.
Zhou Yu clenched his fists.
How can one not be worried
The waves off the coast of Troy churned day and night, a tempest in my soul.
It's a shame!
"I'm not worried anymore." Zhou Yu stared fixedly at the fireworks rising in the distance. "Because the opportunity has arrived."
Bai Qi analyzed the god of love, and the two generals abandoned the city of Jincheng with a large sum of money, luring the Trojans to constantly advance their troops. From Shuangzi City to barren land, from barren land to Jincheng, and from Jincheng to Wuhui.
This deity doesn't understand warfare.
Even an iron man would be exhausted after such a journey. To force the troops to attack again at this moment would be like adding the last straw to a camel's back, breaking Wu Wei completely.
The enemy will surely be defeated!
Kunyu - Huaijiang.
Lu Cheng is still tending to the boiler.
After returning from the "Pīpá" adventure, it enters a "closed door" state once its experience bar is full.
Qing went to Youdu Mountain to harmonize yin energy, and she was left alone without a single speaking woman by her side.
It seems a bit dull.
Think about war.
A few days ago, we transported a large amount of dark materials back from the front lines of Troy. How is it going there
When thinking, Lu Cheng was attracted by the sound of wings flapping.
"Lu Shuai!" A giant dragon plummeted down at high speed: "The Golden City is lost!"
"What!"
The soldiers in front of us are the Feather Lin Army's scouts, so the information should be accurate.
Immediately return to the top table, Lu Cheng's face was grave.
Jin Cheng is really gone.
Zhou Yu's forces and Bai Qi's forces suffered a defeat in Jin Cheng.
Although the military card on the table seems to have full health and mana, as this round hasn't reached the decisive battle settlement stage, Lu Cheng is still unclear about the extent of their losses.
The card master information is not timely.
You won't see the results until the settlement stage.
The front line has an enemy army's "siege" effect, shrouded in war fog. Information from within is temporarily unavailable, and scouts can only get a general idea.
The more Lu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Both of them had meticulously crafted mountain and sea synthesizers, all from the Shanhai era, gradually upgraded over millennia. They were definitely veterans, not some rookie squad.
They could be crushed, which means the casualties in the Golden City battle probably exceeded 80%!!!
Lu Cheng took a deep breath.
Looking at the cards in his hand.
Need reinforcements quickly.
Reclaim Nezha from Liaodong Commandery and Gui Ling Sheng Mu from the other table, then put two "Seafaring Corps" into your hand. Next turn, immediately play them at Wuwei!
Card event, {Emergency Meeting}.
"Surely not" When Huo Qubing heard the news, his face turned sour.
He knew Zhou Yu and Bai Qi's abilities all too well.
Within a fortified region, within a month, two fully-equipped Mountain Sea legions were annihilated, accounting for 80% of their forces. The Golden City was forcefully seized from them.
What kind of strength is this
Were all the Trojans pushed to their limits How many Greek Gods came
"If it's true, then we truly deserved to lose those matches a while back." Xun Yu mused.
This brings to mind the Gemini surprise attack on Zhongdu a while back. They directly snatched two elite units from Zhongdu, leading everyone to speculate that either Zhongdu was weak or the Trojans had some kind of lucky break.
It seems like the enemy is too strong now!
"I bet the Olympus View was built first," the usually silent Master Lu, head of the Heavenly Craftsmen, suddenly spoke.
That's definitely thinking from the Ministry of Works' perspective.
It's possible to defeat Zhou Yu and Bai Qi within a month, who knows what terrifying weapons the enemy might have brought out.
All eyes turned to Master Lu.
The scene was deathly silent.
You're right, that is the most likely scenario!
In the era of deterrence, the Noachian Ark was traded for a shot at the sun, but the Olympian Project remained known to the Chinese Astronautical Corporation.
The Olympis level is unknown.
But if it was completed before [Kunlun].
The front line has fallen behind an entire generation!
