Chapter 1135 – Formation and Talisman

Three thousand against 50 thousand.

The Divine Martial Guards were destined to create a new record.

The 50 thousand troops in Ilagan were Luzon territory’s main troops and Lord Mading’s personal troops. Their combat strength was naturally undeniable.

After receiving the order from their Lord, apart from the 10 thousand defending the city wall, the remaining forty thousand swiftly gathered toward the city Lord’s manor, bumping right into the Divine Martial Guards.

The two sides engaged in an all-out slaughter on the streets.

At the start, the advance of the Divine Martial Guards was really smooth. After all, the streets were of limited width, and there was no army that could block their advance when the numbers were comparable.

The Divine Martial Guards were basically pushing forward with a sprint.

Once they made it past the huge path and came to the square in front of the manor, their true test began. They saw 10 thousand elites solemnly waiting on the square, and the remaining forces had an airtight seal on the manor.

Mading stood at the steps of the gate, heavily protected by his Personal Guards as he said toward the Divine Martial Guards, “Preposterous. Since you dare to charge into here, prepare to die!”

When Xu Chu heard that, he scoffed. He raised his God arm crossbow and fired.

With a ‘Xiu!’, the arrow broke the air, leaving an afterimage in the sky. Looking at its trajectory, it was actually going to hit Mading. But at that split second, a shield was raised, and the arrow was blocked.

Even so, Mading broke out into a cold sweat and could not help but take two steps back.

“Haha!”

Seeing Mading in such a bad shape, the Divine Martial Guards broke out into mocking laughter, making his face flush red. He did not have the face to stay anymore, so he only said, “Kill them all!” After that, he hurried back to the manor.

When Xu Chu saw that, he grinned, “Boys, the warm up is over, time for the real killing. Kill them!” Xu Chu did not tease Mading for fun; rather, it was to lower the morale of the enemy.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The three thousand Divine Martial Guards formed a giant circle formation, the outside was a circle of shield bearers who focused on defense, the middle consisted of spear holders that pierced out through the sides of the shields, and the inner circle held the god arm crossbows and provided cover fire, especially at the archers hiding on the roofs.

The entire formation was a perfect killing machine, blocking the charging troops from all directions while shifting toward the gate. Anyone who tried to stop them were murdered one by one.

This formation was especially designed by Sun Bin for the Divine Martial Guards and was called the three thousand turning wheel formation.

This formation was scary not because it could defend and attack but because the three circles could change at any moment, having a strong ability to carry on the battle. In the hands of the Divine Martial Guards, it gave out an even stronger effect.

In front of the three thousand turning wheel formation, although the Luzon army had the numerical advantage, there was nothing they could do to it. They could only send out troops to charge at it, but the effects were minimal.

The strength of the formation was on full display in this battle.

In less than an hour, the Divine Martial Guards had broken through all the obstructions on the square and was near the gate. Currently, the gate was tightly shut, and on the walls of the manor, there were many archers.

How to break through was a big test for them.

“Spread out!”

At this moment, Xu Chu hollered, and the formation suddenly split into three, from one circle into three and into a triangular formation that pushed forward.

The middle circle was in charge of hitting the door while the two sides were like wings to block the soldiers attacking from the square and the wall.

Ilagan was only a normal prefecture city, so the city Lord’s manor did not have war defense ability. Under the strong hits of the Divine Martial Guards, the gate shook and was on the verge of collapsing.

The Luzon soldiers within the manor felt their hearts shake as they tried to hold the gate with all their lives.

Both sides competed with the gate as the medium.

With both sides pushing and hitting it, the wooden gate gave out creaking sounds; it was on the verge.

When Xu Chu saw that, he came to the front of the door. Standing still, he rotated all the primordial energy within him and stabbed the gate using a horse lance from one of the Divine Martial Guards. The tip of the lance actually turned white.

‘Hong!’

The lance viciously stabbed into the gate, directly piercing through it and leaving a huge hole behind. Not only that, but a spider web pattern also grew with the hole as the center before the gate broke apart.

The strength of one spear stab was shown.

Xu Chu’s great name shone once more at that moment.

Seeing a huge hole where the gate had been, the Divine Martial Guards’ morale soared. They hollered as they charged into the manor. The Luzon army was astonished, and before they could even react, the enemy was in the middle hall.

“Quick, stop them!”

Luzon Lord Mading appeared once more with an anxious his expression.

Although it was night, the entire manor was well lit up. Anywhere that people could stand, Luzon soldiers stood.

The Divine Martial Guards had charged into such a sea of people. Each forward step was extremely arduous.

As the place was closely-packed, the Divine Martial Guards could not show off their flexibility and skills and had to face attacks from all directions. From the roof, the window, and more; all these sneak attacks started to take effect.

In such an environment, even soldiers from heaven would have problems.

When Xu Chu saw that, he did not hesitate any longer. He took out a talisman and tore it apart. Then a golden light shone and swiftly formed a ball of light, covering the Divine Martial Guards.

Golden armor talisman (platinum rank): after use, forms a golden protective light that grants immunity to all physical attacks, lasting for half an hour, range of five thousand men.

This talisman was a family treasure of the Xiang Family that Ouyang Shuo handed over to Xu Chu.

At this crucial moment, the talisman showed its might.

With this golden glow protecting their bodies, the Divine Martial Guards were truly like soldiers from heaven. Every spear and every arrow were blocked by the golden light before it even got close.

When the Luzon soldiers saw that, their mouths hung agape.

The enemy was stunned but Xu Chu was not. The talisman lasted for only half an hour, and he had to destroy the stone steele before the effects wore off.

“Kill!”

Under the protection of the golden light, the Divine Martial Guards charged out a bloody path in the enemy formation.

The Luzon army was not composed of fools and knew that the target of the enemy was to charge into the meeting hall. As such, they all squeezed in and blocked the way to the stone steele.

If the Divine Martial Guard wanted to get close to the stone steele, there was only one path there.

At the crucial moment, the Divine Martial Guard would not show mercy. They all became asuras. Using this invincible mode, they killed anyone in their way.

Facing the highly efficient and Invincible slaughter god, no matter how good the Luzon army was, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spine. Some of them had started to flee, unwilling to face this group of devils.

In just 10 minutes, Xu Chu charged up to the stone steele.

He grinned, raising his hand and cutting down.
