Chapter 54: War Puppet
The following is:
Here is the translation:
"For you, here is the full text of 《》, enjoy!"
On the border of Liangguo and Nanlinguo, a huge camp sprawled across the ground.
No majestic bugle calls, no stirring war drums, and no powerful weapons of war.
But this fort is like a sacred temple, awe-inspiring along this long border.
Inside the camp is stationed one of Liang Guo's two major war departments: Changdao Camp.
The red armor is like a burning flame, implying that this war department's invasion is like fire.
Austere and strong is all of Changdao Camp, they garrison the frontier, they fight a hundred battles without yielding.
They have been guarding the last dignity of Liangguo here year after year.
Time has left its mark on He Qing's face, guarding the border for decades, the handsome and heroic young man has become an old general on the border.
His longevity was still far from being reached, and as a cultivator in the Golden Elixir Realm, he had more than three hundred years of life left. These marks were all left on him by the battles at the borders and his daily worries.
So many years have passed, and I've experienced all sorts of hardships; our country is weak and it's hard to feel at peace.
Just then, He Changqing received the last message from the capital.
The country is in danger, Long Knife Camp must rush to Nanhai Huashan immediately to protect the emperor's safety, and also, open the scattered soldiers' gate to plot for future plans.
This order caused differing opinions among the leaders of Changdao Camp.
"General, our country is in danger. We should rush to the capital to save it at once, even if we have to sacrifice our lives for the nation rather than flee to a foreign land."
The deputy general is named Xiong Wei. He and He Changqing are not only the leaders of the Long Knife Camp, but also the deputy commanders-in-chief of the 2 million soldiers on the border of Liangguo.
It can be said that in the past, matters concerning the border were completely decided by the two of them through consultation.
He Changqing hesitated for a moment before turning to face Xiong Wei with a determined expression.
"Do you still remember the oath we made when we first joined the Dragon Blade Troop?"
Xiong Wei's breath was stagnant, and time had passed too long. He had step by step risen from an ordinary soldier in the Long Knife Camp to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
Those dazzling years of the past floated before his eyes.
When he was still young, he was selected to join the Long Knife Camp, what an honor it was, and he could never forget the day he joined the Long Knife Camp.
Xiong Wei's waist was straight as a pen, as if he had returned to that young age.
"Be loyal to the king's orders, obey the king's commands!"
Xiong Wei shouted loudly, his eyes full of reverence for Liang Wang.
"Long Saber Camp set off immediately! Open the scattered soldiers' gate!"
He Changqing shouted out his orders with a majestic momentum, the king's order was his creed, and the monarch would never be wrong.
Hualian Mountain, drunk and sweating profusely, cut off the spiritual power output, helping Lulu to temper his body was not easy at all, making him tired enough.
Lu Lu stood up from the ground, his momentum rising steadily.
"I was born for battle!"
"Roar!"
Excited Ruru let out a mighty roar, his body shining brighter than before, and more robust than before!
"Bang, bang, bang."
Lulu's fist struck his chest with force, and at this moment, he felt that the last bit of darkness left in his meridians was also eliminated, and his whole body felt indescribably refreshing.
Most importantly, he's stronger than before!
"Time is running out, come with me quickly."
Yi Deng suddenly found that Lu Lu was casting an ill-intentioned gaze at him, and his heart inexplicably tightened, quickly changing the subject.
One drunk and unclear, hurriedly urged LuLu, if a little slower, the mountain gate would be broken and it would be troublesome.
Lu Lu withdrew his gaze with ill intentions, he had just been thinking of sneaking up close to attack Yi Deng, to see if he could take him down.
A single lantern in hand, a simple handprint, and he was drunk with recognition - it was clearly a modified version of the Floating Technique.
The next moment, as if a strong gust of wind came, but it felt very warm, and picked up the lantern, the drunkard, and Ruru, quickly flying to the cyan stone gathering place under the main peak of Hualian Mountain.
The second time I saw this subtle technique being manipulated, my heart suddenly understood that this is indeed strength. Any ordinary technique can produce unexpected effects when used at the right time.
These simple techniques were also known to Yideng, but he was far from using them as skillfully as Yideng.
Looking at One-Lamp's level, one can suspect that One-Lamp can be easily defeated with just the simplest of techniques.
This opened up a path for him to rapidly increase his strength, and these things were the reasons why people of the same realm had vastly different strengths.
Soon, Zui saw the flat ground where the disciples would gather when there was a big event at the mountain gate.
The bluestones here are paved with great characteristics, one by one, as if there is no gap, closely gathered together.
Only a thin line tells people that this flat bluestone ground is paved with strips of bluestones.
One drunk didn't ask One Lamp why he came here, and One Lamp also didn't explain. Now the top priority is to solve external troubles.
Yideng was about to make a move, and Yizui immediately noticed it. He quickly judged that Yideng was going to cast a large-scale coverage spell. What did Yideng want to do?
The next moment, a lamp answered him with action.
A large number of wind blades were inserted into the bluestone ground in a short period of time and exploded underneath.
One lamp actually ruined the entire bluestone floor.
Gravel flying everywhere, the scene is quite spectacular, it's just that this piece of bluestone ground was destroyed, which is a bit of a pity.
The handprint changed again, a transparent dragon-shaped true energy quickly condensed and formed, one head plunged into the ground below, disappearing without a trace.
One intoxicating heart was shocked, such a powerful attack on Yideng was surprisingly easy, and the handprint changed in an instant to launch such a powerful attack. Moreover, looking at Yideng's potential, it seemed that it had not been fully explored yet. It was really hard to imagine how strong Yideng's true strength was.
Without saying more, Yideng took them and dived down headfirst. A large tunnel had already been dug out with force.
Looking down, there seems to be a faint light below. Suddenly, I have some understanding in my heart. This is probably the largest warehouse in Hualian Mountain. However, what's stored inside should be something with great power or high value, rarely seen, and only opened at such critical moments.
The vast bluestone floor is a perfect disguise, who would have thought that the largest warehouse in Huashan Mountain is right under the bluestone floor where they often gather, just beneath their feet.
When the critical moment arrives, what harm is there in destroying this expanse of blue stone? This expanse of blue stone is like an unlocked mansion gate that can be easily closed to conceal the scenery behind.
The countless restrictions along the way made Yizui even more certain of his conjecture, and a lamp led them to descend rapidly. The distance of several hundred meters was instantly gone, and at the bottom was a vast cave.
An incredibly vast cavern, with a very high ceiling, making the space seem extremely large, the surrounding flat rock walls are inlaid with glowing minerals, illuminating this underground warehouse.
They had seen their goal from the start, right below the passage opened by the lantern, a row of puppets with grayish-black metallic luster stood motionless.
They were a head shorter than Lulu, but they looked even stronger and more solid, with fists as big as super-sized ones, and it was hard to imagine who could withstand a punch from them. Their arms were as thick as their waists, and their thighs were like pillars.
War Puppet is a puppet that has been tempered with the pursuit of great power and strong defensive capabilities as its standard.
Their weight is also quite frightening, wanting to move these big guys is not easy, at least it takes a cultivation base of Congming or above to be possible.
"A drunken junior brother, driving these war puppets, still needs the core spell array of the puppet master to cooperate."
One lamp said to one drunkard.
Then turned to LuLu: "LuLu, you should remember how to drive these war puppets. I'll leave it to you here. If you do well, I'll reward you with a batch of crystal stones."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, turning into a residual shadow flying out of the huge Heavenly Pit. With his sword intent array and defensive array guarding the mountain gate, at least some time can be delayed.
One intoxication without hesitation, directly from the sea of consciousness drew out the core law array, and gave it to Lulu. This kind of thing, he didn't need. Lulu had already proven his loyalty with his actions, and controlling this core law array in his sea of consciousness made him seem not generous enough.
Lulu saw that one was drunk and carelessly returned the core law array to him, feeling a little touched in his heart, instinctively feeling very happy, as if he had found a good friend.
Lu Lu silently told herself in her heart: protect Yi Jiu, good friends and good partners!
The core law array returned to its position, and Lulu felt increasingly familiar with the war puppet, as if she had seen it before.
These were things he knew before he became aware of them, so he felt like he knew them, but his memories weren't that clear.
"How did I get here? Ruru can't remember..."
Lulu sat on the ground, gently tapping his head with his fist, feeling that he could remember as long as he thought a little more.
"Don't be in a hurry, Old Monk Yideng just said that we need to use the core formation array."
One intoxication can only try his best to remind Lu Lu, unfortunately, his insight is still not enough, unable to say more information, can only use Yideng's words.
"Have Cardinal Puppet imprint Core Law Array onto War Puppet's body, then establish connection."
At a critical moment, it was still reliable to see the true immortal who had seen much and knew widely. With a glance, he immediately conveyed the original words to Lulu.
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, as if reminded of something.
"I know, they are my subordinates, I am their leader, I can have many many subordinates."
Ruru's eyes sparkled with excitement as he recalled some memories, just like a child who had found his favorite toy, and immediately pounced on one of the war puppets.
