Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1821: Chapter 1687: Face to Face with Both Friend and Foe

This also shows the biggest difference between Legion Talent and Military Formation. Legion Talent has a personal number limit, while Military Formation—let me ask you this—instructing a force of two hundred thousand to perform Ultimate Xuanxiang, are you scared?

However, the drawback of Military Formation is obvious. First, you need the chance to learn it. Second, you must be capable of mastering it. Third, you need the commanding power to wield a military formation. Legion Talent is entirely about the rhythm of deployment and action. The pros and cons of both are very clear.

”I basically understand the situation, and those present probably also understand the situation we’re facing. Who brought their family along?” Sheni Pei asked, looking at the people present.

Everyone slowly raised their right hand, and Sheni Pei couldn’t help but nod. The legacy of Yuan Shao still remains till this day. Although Chunyu Qiong was unreliable, being able to present this thing is enough to show sincerity.

As for bringing their families, they have likely prepared themselves never to return to the Central Plains with Yuan Tan. These people are truly loyal in the most genuine sense.

”Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. First, we face fifty thousand women, children, and elderly of the Northern Huns. Our task is to eliminate them. We have elite soldiers numbering twenty-four thousand, and six thousand cavalry, but we cannot afford to lose too many troops to the Northern Huns.” Sheni Pei addressed everyone present.

”Bringing your families northward, you must already know our goal after winning—to establish a foothold west of the Western Regions. Our current power is sufficient, but if we lose too many troops against the Northern Huns, our path ahead will be difficult.” Sheni Pei said, looking at everyone.

”Our advantage is our ample provisions, but the Northern Huns have plundered resources from most of the plains; even if they supply the frontline troops, their rear resources are enough for them to get through winter. Our greatest advantage is actually our soldiers!” Sheni Pei declared with rising spirit.

”All our soldiers here have gone through many battles, ranging from small skirmishes to large-scale establishment battles in the north. Our soldiers have rich combat experience, they are deserving elites, whereas the Northern Huns are merely a group of weak and aging soldiers!” Sheni Pei spoke with fervor, which invigorated all the generals under the tent.

”The biggest problem for us is those vast fifty thousand whose combat power is generally poor, but we are human, and we don’t need to solve this battle with swords and blades. We can use other methods, using our wisdom!” Sheni Pei unleashed his Spiritual Energy, his sharp eyes scanning all the generals, causing everyone to feel a stabbing sensation at that moment.

Sheni Pei, with the heart of fighting to the death, after awakening found his Spiritual Energy’s purity comparable to Li Youu, and as a foundation of Spiritual Talent, it greatly enhances Sheni Pei’s talent which consumes a significant amount of Spiritual Energy.

”So, your task is only to deal with those fewer than thirty thousand older and weaker soldiers, while the remaining seemingly large fifty thousand Northern Hun clan members will be handled by me, Ziyuan, and Youruo. That is your mission!” Sheni Pei commanded boldly.

The generals under Yuan Tan’s command, whose morale had been slightly low due to discovering the number of Northern Huns, quickly revived under Sheni Pei’s majesty, boosting the morale of everyone under the tent.

After Sheni Pei reassigned military duties, everyone quickly got moving, dispelling the previous gloom as if everyone had found their backbone.

”General Jii, General Gao, stay behind, everyone else go about your business, make sure the Northern Huns don’t gain an advantage over our army,” Sheni Pei reassigned military duties, glanced at Yuan Tan, seeing Yuan Tan nod, and then issued the final order, afterward the others all withdrew.

”General Jii, can you tell me your exact strength,” Sheni Pei asked Ji Ling after everyone had left.

”When executing the lord’s orders, you can regard me as an Inner Qi Manifestation Perfection level military general, and additionally, when carrying out this order, I possess Legion Talent,” Ji Ling’s words left Sheni Pei a bit unclear, but he understood Ji Ling’s strength.

It wasn’t that Ji Ling couldn’t speak, but the strength of Ji Ling and Yuan Shu was too closely linked, not sure if it’s because Ji Ling is fervently loyal to Yuan Shu, or due to Yuan Shu’s absolute trust in Ji Ling.

In short, these two guys got mixed together, creating an odd effect, where a normal Ji Ling is just a fairly weak Inner Qi Manifestation, possibly even unable to beat Li Tiao who has opened secret techniques.

Yet, if Yuan Shu issued an order to Ji Ling, Ji Ling immediately became something akin to Superman, with his divine attribute forcibly saturating Inner Qi, his intense will allowing him to explosively generate effects far beyond normal similar to Yann Liang once did.

If it weren’t for Ji Ling’s foundation not being as solid as Yann Liang, he would essentially be another Yann Liang, his intense will forcibly elevating Ji Ling’s strength to surpass Inner Qi Manifestation Perfection, sufficient to contend with Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation.

His Legion Talent would also be distorted due to this powerful will, directly transforming into Combat Talent—Implementing, a fervent top-to-bottom implementation of the chief general’s will, even being willing to sacrifice for this will. But achieving this effect requires Ji Ling’s personal Imperial Guard; normally it can only exert combat power beyond limits due to a strong will.
