Chapter 48: Martial Aura

  Having a county's land and having a prefecture's land are not just about expanding the territory and increasing the population, but also about different power structures. With a prefecture's land, Zhang Xu is truly a master of one side, with real strength comparable to that of the vassals of the world. The framework of a county is really too small.

  The territorial pattern of a prefecture, reflected in the clouds and air, is light yellow, yellow, and golden. If it can even break through the light blue territorial pattern, then a county will never be able to break through to the yellow cloud power, this is a huge gap from birth. Only by possessing a prefectural land can Zhang Xu truly become a master of men!

  Moreover, a prefecture and a county give people different feelings. There is only one Chang County, and the large army comes to attack other places, so the people's hearts are not at peace. However, with a prefecture of land, there are more than ten cities, which makes it vastly different, and the psychological feeling is greatly different.

  So, in order to unify Donglai County after the autumn harvest, Zhang Xu is now making an extremely hard effort, using his incense faith power to its limits every day. Under such use, diligence makes up for clumsiness, and since Zhang Xu is not a fool, the use of his incense faith power has improved a lot.

  Firstly, it is reflected in the concentration symbols. Within twenty days, he can already stably maintain a production efficiency of more than three concentration symbols for half a day. The rest of the talismans are also drawn with greater ease and speed. The output of mighty symbols and golden symbols has exceeded two hundred each day, which shows how astonishing his proficiency is!

  With this, the inventory of these two talismans in Zhang Xu's hands has exceeded 3,000, which can be said to be a significant progress. As for the Condensed Spirit Talisman, after deducting the ones that have been distributed, there are actually 50 more in the past 20 days. This makes Zhang Xu extremely satisfied, and he can even distribute the Condensed Spirit Talismans to the first-level Fire Chiefs.

  Of course, he won't easily distribute such precious talismans. One must put in sufficient effort or establish merit; otherwise, it would give people a sense of not treasuring them.

  So on this day, with still ten days to go before the autumn harvest, Zhang Xu called Wu Zhong and had him conduct a drill of the Imperial Guard. He wanted to see if this new Imperial Guard, which had been formed for over a dozen days now, could satisfy him!

  The Imperial Guards were the most elite soldiers selected from the entire army, and they were also the ones who had made great contributions. Each of them had personally killed enemy soldiers, and whether it was their spirit or that fierce and courageous aura, they all met Ding Yuan's expectations.

  "Master Xian, shall we begin?"

  Seeing Zhang Xu nodding, a smile appeared on his face, Wu Zhong's heart slightly settled down. After all, the good or bad of the Imperial Guard was a matter of great importance. Now that Zhang Xu was satisfied, it meant that his hard work over the past few days had not been in vain!

  "Let's get started!"

  Nodding his head, Zhang Xu said.

  "Promise!"

  Wu Zhong was overjoyed, and with a loud "Ah", he immediately retreated, standing on the school grounds, his entire demeanor changed, causing Zhang Xu to slightly turn his head.

  "Wu Zhong's fate may be limited, but he is extremely hardworking. He can actually control his killing intent at will, and these days, his vital energy has been surging, as if it's about to break through. If he does break through, Wu Zhong can become a third-rate general, leading an army of a thousand without issue, and in extreme cases, even leading two thousand troops into battle!"

  He was extremely satisfied with his own personally selected commander of the Imperial Guard, although he had some shortcomings in terms of talent and other aspects. However, with sufficient effort and the help of the Concentration Symbol, he actually managed to break through, which made Zhang Xu feel extremely proud. After all, this was his personally selected commander of the Imperial Guard! The stronger his abilities, the better it would be!

  "Form ranks!"

  Wu Zhong let out a loud roar, and immediately the banners were unfolded, and in an instant the Imperial Guard troops formed a square formation. Each type of soldier worked together in coordination, with the cavalry roaming on both flanks to provide support. A stern and murderous military aura instantly gathered in the air above.

  The military aura is the cloud of the army, the difference between the miscellaneous crowd and the elite troops lies in this, with the condensation of the military aura, it can make the large army exert its overall combat effectiveness, whether it is attacking or defensive power has increased greatly. The Imperial Guard has been formed for a short time, but it has already condensed out the military aura that only the elite troops can condense, which is obviously not trivial!

  To know that just by arranging the formation, the military aura can be condensed, this is extremely terrifying, which was previously impossible, even if it were Guan Yu himself, the two armies of soldiers and horses would not be able to reach this level, only barely managing to condense the military aura during a charge.

  There is a military force with a strong army, which is generally not dared to be attacked by generals. The stronger the military force, the more restrained it is for the generals. Once the military force reaches the point of boiling blood, it can even attack without any scruples. According to legend, Gao Shun's Trap Array Camp was able to condense this terrible military force!

  The current gathering of the army's aura, although present, is a faint red color. The crimson aura represents the killing intent, and the pale red color indicates that the army's aura has gathered, but it is extremely ordinary.

  However, this is enough to make Zhang Xu overjoyed, after all, gathering the military spirit, then the Imperial Guard has the capital to compete with the elite soldiers led by the great general!

  "Haha, unexpectedly Wu Zhong actually has this skill, it seems that in these dozen or so days, he was extremely hardworking too! The Imperial Guard is actually able to reach this level!"

  Zhang Xu inwardly praised and was also greatly excited, rejoicing at the strength of his own army!

  "Riflemen, present arms!"

  A loud shout, Wu Zhong suddenly ordered again, and a team of long spear soldiers immediately lined up in an orderly manner, with a stern and murderous iron-blooded atmosphere. At this time, Zhang Xu saw that as the long spear soldiers lined up, the military aura became even more intense, almost reaching a true red color, no longer pale red, although much rarer, but extremely dense, like a single long spear.

  "Thrust!"

  Wu Zhong gave the order, and instantly the military atmosphere surged. At this moment, a strong military aura had reached its peak. At this time, a long spear soldier shouted loudly: "Kill!"

  In an instant, the slightly inferior military aura directly broke through and became a true red, and with the battle cry, one hundred and five long gun soldiers suddenly burst out!

  Suddenly!

  Rumble!

  A loud noise, but it was a sharp and powerful force, too fast, directly piercing the straw man in front of him, striking and shattering!
