Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Zhu Wen fell into deep thought, realizing that he had to go through more experience and improve his level before he could continue to read the Book of Heaven.

He stood up, his eyes determined, and vowed to overcome the predicament.

"I had to find more advanced spiritual resources. Zhu Wen muttered to himself.

He was now a first-level eight-rank reader, but this level obviously could not meet his needs to continue studying the Heavenly Book. He needed a higher level of practice and was prepared to face greater trials.

"I need to improve my skills in order to read more profound books. Zhu Wen's heart once again rose with firm determination.

He decided to leave the reading room and look for cultivation resources that could help him level up.

Zhu Wen came to the foot of a high mountain, and there were faint bursts of sword qi from the mountain. He knew that this was a place of spiritual practice, and that there were many experiences and trials hidden there.

He carefully climbed the mountain and experienced the strong wind blowing on the cliffs, as if to test his perseverance.

"Ahh

"Boom!" a huge force erupted and slammed into the mountain wall.

"Click!" A crack opened in the mountain wall, and Zhu Wen successfully solved a difficult barrier in front of him through this experience.

He continued to climb to the top of the mountain, making each step more difficult. But he didn't back down, because he knew that he could only improve his rank through experience.

"Buzz. The sound coming from the top of the mountain attracted Zhu Wen's attention.

He walked to the top of the hill and saw an ancient altar. The altar exuded a quaint aura and seemed to be waiting for his arrival.

Zhu Wen approached the altar and felt the powerful power contained in it.

"Only by passing the test of this altar can I have a chance to improve my rank. Zhu Wen knew that this was the key to his journey to a higher realm.

He stood still, his mind condensed, and his whole body exuded a powerful momentum.

"Quack!" a bolt of lightning struck down and slammed into Zhu Wen's face.

The energy on Zhu Wen's body fluctuated violently, as if it was about to be torn apart by the force.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, surviving the test.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test of the altar. A deep voice rang in Zhu Wen's ears.

Zhu Wen felt a huge amount of energy injecting into his body, and his level began to rise rapidly.

When Zhu Wen woke up, it turned out to be a sweet dream, and the Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi entered the big account and reported: Shadow Without a Trace gathered 100,000 demon soldiers and trapped us with the Bianzhou army led by Huang Jing and Shang Taide.

Zhu Wen woke up from a sweet dream, sweating profusely. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, trying to calm himself down. Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi hurriedly entered the big account report, interrupting his thoughts.

"What should we do if Shadow Without a Trace gathers 100,000 demon soldiers and traps us with the Bianzhou army led by Huang Jing and Shang Taide?"

Zhu Wen's face sank, obviously this news put him in a crisis. He immediately decided to convene senior generals to discuss countermeasures.

He summoned the medical officer Bian Yong, the Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi, the supervising army Ma Zhanshan, Zhu Dali and Luo Feilong to hold a meeting at the Huluzui military camp.

The crowd quickly gathered together, and the atmosphere was tense and serious.

"We must find a breakthrough and develop a program that will be able to deal with the enemy. Zhu Wen said with a firm gaze.

"The Demon Soldier of Shadow Without a Trace is strong, and we can't go head-to-head in terms of strength. Medical officer Bian Yong analyzed.

"Yes, we need to look for the enemy's weaknesses and find their loopholes. Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi added.

"We can take advantage of the terrain and set up ambush points to attack the enemy from behind. Overseer Ma Zhanshan proposed.

Zhu Wen pondered everyone's opinions, and then made a decision: "We will combine our respective advantages, distract the enemy, defeat their demon soldiers, and then join forces with the Bianzhou army." "

The generals agreed, and they began to draw up battle plans and division of labor.

After the meeting, they all threw themselves into intense preparations.

The sound of swords clashing could be heard over the Huluzui barracks, and the soldiers were training intensely to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Dr. Bian Yong was busy preparing herbs and preparing enough first-aid supplies. He knew that the wounded would inevitably appear on the battlefield, and his responsibility was to do everything possible to protect the lives of the soldiers.

Zhang Taiyi was reciting mantras and practicing his spells so that he could exert great power at critical moments.

Ma Zhanshan inspected the armament and made sure that each soldier was equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment. He asked the soldiers to train more rigorously and improve their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Dali was responsible for planning the layout of the ambush point, and he carefully selected the terrain and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Luo Feilong is in charge of intelligence gathering, he goes deep into the enemy camp and secretly detects the enemy's movements.

Everyone is doing their duty and giving it their all. This is a dangerous war, and the slightest negligence can pay a heavy price.

"The artillery is ready!" Zhu Dali personally checked the state of the artillery.

"Boom!" there was a loud bang, and the cannon was fired into the sky.

The generals kept their eyes fixed on the sky, watching the signals from the artillery.

Suddenly, they saw an unexpected scene - tens of thousands of crows appeared in the sky like a dark cloud, overwhelmingly flocking to where they were.

"Raven!" a chill swelled in the hearts of the generals.

Zhu Wen hurriedly shouted: "Quick, protect yourself! Crows are not simple!".

Everyone was on alert, ready for this sudden attack from the enemy.

The crows rained down on the generals like a black rainstorm, wreaking havoc on their surroundings, unleashing terrifying and evil powers.

Zhu Wen waved the sword in his hand, jumped forward, and used the immortal sword.

"Brush!" The sword light was like electricity, splitting the crow's flock.

Medic Bian Yong clenched the dagger in his hand, nimbly dodging the crow's attacks while striking back with precision.

Zhang Taiyi turned into a streamer and quickly shuttled between the crows, suppressing them with spells.

Ma Zhanshan waved a large flag and commanded the soldiers to take orderly defensive measures to block the invasion of crows.

Zhu Dali calmly observed the crow's offensive, calculating the best time to make a deadly counterattack.

Luo Feilong hid in a bush, constantly observing the crow's movements and passing on information to other generals.

The battle lasted for some time, and the crow's offensive gradually weakened, and finally disappeared into the sky.

The generals glanced at each other, and they all showed a tired smile. Although they managed to repel the raid, the war was just beginning.

"Our forces are weak, and the enemy is coming. Zhu Wen's voice was full of determination and determination.

The generals continued to discuss countermeasures intensely, knowing that time was of the essence, and every second would affect the direction of the entire battle.

"We need to have a well-thought-out plan of action so that we can respond forcefully to the enemy's offensive. Zhu Wen's voice was firm and calm.
