Chapter 263: Activate the Guardian Formation

Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

Inside the Commander's Tent.

Amara's face was livid. Their attack today failed again.

They lost more than 10,000 people, although not as many as yesterday, but more than 100 cultivators were lost.

"Your Highness, there are cultivators in Pingyuan City. I think we must find a way to take Pingyuan City in one go, otherwise, there may be more changes."

At this time, a general put forward his own opinion.

"Your Highness, this is probably not an easy thing."

Another general said.

This time they sent cultivators to destroy the catapults and crossbow carts in Pingyuan City.

As a result, although several crossbow carts were destroyed, the hundreds of cultivators they sent were all wiped out.

Moreover, they instinctively believed that Pingyuan City must have some cards that they didn't know about.

Amara listened to them calmly.

After they finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lu and asked, "Master Lu, what do you think?"

"Hehe, although we lost again today, we have also gained something."

"I wonder what Master Lu means by this?"

"It's very simple. Pingyuan City's strength is just so-so." Lu Lu looked down on humans.

In his opinion, no matter how these mortals resisted themselves, they would not be as strong as when he took action.

"If I guess correctly, they should only have strong men in the Jindan realm."

"However, just in case, I can send someone to investigate the situation in Pingyuan City in person. Pingyuan City is not a big deal."

Even though they had lost several times, Lu Lu still looked down on mortal cities and was very arrogant.

"Okay, that's great." Amara was delighted when she heard it.

Speaking of which, they had been blindly attacking Pingyuan City from the beginning.

Thinking about it now, they all regretted it.

For this, they also lost tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of immortal cultivators.

Although these troops were not many, and some of them were slaves, it was not a pity to die, but this was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.

He now wanted to know what kind of power was hidden in Pingyuan City.

In addition, he was also thinking about a plan, which was the possibility of beheading.

However, after hearing Lu Lu say that he was going to investigate Pingyuan City, he decided to wait until Lu Lu completed the investigation.

"Master Lu, then the investigation of Pingyuan City will be handed over to you."

"No problem, Your Highness."

Lu Lu nodded, then stood up and left the commander's tent.

He was going to arrange manpower and investigate Pingyuan City, and even when necessary, he could come out in person.

At this time, Pingyuan City was over because the battle was over, and Zhao Chong began to count the losses.

"General, we died more than 1,500 people in this battle, more than 4,000 casualties, 5 immortal cultivators died, and 18 were injured."

Zhao Chong listened to the loss report and frowned slightly.

"It seems that our battle loss ratio is almost 1:2 with the enemy's battle loss. This result is not good." Zhao Chong was very dissatisfied.

"General, we didn't suffer such high casualties. It was mainly because the other cultivators came up that our casualties increased." The deputy general on the side said hurriedly.

This also made Zhao Chong see the horror of the cultivators again.

"Well." Zhao Chong looked at Master Luo and asked, "Master Luo, what do you think will happen next?"

"The enemy suddenly stopped attacking this time. I expect the enemy to prepare for a more violent attack."

"Although they have lost several games now, from a practical point of view, they are not to the point where you can break your bones."

"If General Zhao doesn't have a better way, I suggest you start asking for help."

Master Luo's words made Zhao Chong nod.

At the same time, he thought in his heart: "If Master Luo can think of this, then the cultivators on the opposite side will certainly think of this."

"It seems that I can't underestimate their strength, nor their IQ." Zhao Chong thought in his heart.

If it were in the past, Zhao Chong was actually not convinced by the cultivators.

In his opinion, the cultivators have high martial arts value and like to solve problems with fists.

But mortals have intelligence, and mortals can use intelligence to defeat these immortal cultivators.

However, Master Luo's words made him dare not underestimate these immortal cultivators anymore.

However, Zhao Chong's current means have not been exhausted, so he did not immediately ask for help.

"Okay, I already know about this."

Next, Zhao Chong thought of a series of possibilities.

Now, the enemy's next attack method is nothing more than two.

The first is to attack again, press more troops, stronger combat power, and strive to break through Pingyuan City in one fell swoop.

However, after seeing the power of catapults and crossbow carts, the possibility that they will use this point will be lower.

Because in this way, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which is not conducive to their next attack on Guangyuan City, not to mention the other cities in Nanlong.

Therefore, in Zhao Chong's view, the possibility will be relatively low.

The second is intelligence warfare. They may stop the attack and find out the truth about Pingyuan City before taking action.

In Zhao Chong's view, this possibility is extremely high.

Since the implementation of the household registration system two months ago, the spies in Pingyuan City can be said to have been cleared out.

Therefore, the expeditionary force launched this war without any understanding of the strength of Pingyuan City.

And he was able to tell during several of their actions.

That is, the expeditionary force knew very little about their Pingyuan City.

Therefore, the next investigation of Pingyuan City may become their key task.

"It is very likely that they will come to investigate and even behead me. It seems that it is necessary to activate the formation next."

In fact, whether it is a forced attack or reconnaissance, it will be detrimental to Pingyuan City.

After thinking about it, Zhao Chong decided to use Xuantian Shield Formation first.

Moreover, activating the Xuantian Shield Formation will not only prevent them from entering, but also allow them to launch larger-scale attacks in order to break the Xuantian Shield Formation.

In this way, their artillery can also be put to use.

In this way, Zhao Chong had already made up his mind, and after discussing with the generals, without wasting any more time, he immediately ordered all ministries to still be prepared for precautions.

And he activated the Xuantian Shield Formation.

After Zhao Chong saw that everyone had left, he took out the Pingyuan City Order and activated the Xuantian Shield Formation with his mind.

Because he has shed blood to recognize his master, so now to activate the Xuantian Shield Formation, just one thought is enough.

As his thoughts fell, the entire Xuantian Shield Formation was activated at this moment.

"Buzz."

At this time, twelve bright lights suddenly appeared in the city, rising into the sky, and then turned into a curtain, covering the entire Pingyuan City.

At this time, Lu Lu led some immortal cultivators and was about to sneak into Pingyuan City, when he suddenly saw changes in Pingyuan City.

He couldn't help being stunned at first, and then showed a look of shock.

"Array?"

"How can it be?"

Lu Lu looked at what was happening in front of him in shock. They never expected that they would actually see a protective formation in a city.

Moreover, it is also a large protective formation.

With the emergence of this formation, these immortal cultivators who originally wanted to sneak in suddenly lost their chance.

"Damn it, we obviously didn't attack, why did they activate the formation?"

At this time, Lu Lu was very angry.

He originally wanted to investigate Pingyuan City, and he also looked down on these mortals.

But now, he only felt that his face was burning and painful.

Because he was slapped in the face.

"Come on, let's go back."

After the Xuantian Shield Formation appeared, they had no chance to enter Pingyuan City again. Instead of wasting time outside, it was better to go back and tell them what happened.

We soon returned to the expeditionary force base camp by land.

He meets Amala.

Amara was very surprised to see him coming back so soon.

"Master Lu, are you back so soon?"

"Well, Your Highness, there is a problem in Pingyuan City."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Amara's heart tightened and she was praying secretly, hoping it would be a good thing.

result……

"Pingyuan City has activated the protective formation." Lu Lu's face turned pale.

"ah?"

Amara was a little confused.

"What is a protective formation?"

Lu Lu didn't know when he saw him, but when he thought that the other party was a mortal, he was relieved and said: "Guardian formations are generally only possessed by large sects, and they must be powerful sects."

"General sects cannot afford it, mainly because it consumes too much energy and the cost is extremely huge."

"But its function is also very obvious, that is, it can defend against other people's attacks and prevent others from sneaking into it."

Lu Lu told Amala about the situation. In other words, it was not that they did not want to go to Pingyuan City, but that they were blocked by the formation. They could not enter Pingyuan City now.

After hearing this, Amara was a little shocked.

"I didn't expect that there is such a formation. Is there any way to break it?" Amara asked anxiously.

If he's so awesome, then Pingyuan City still gives a shit?

"Yes, although the guardian formation is powerful, it is not invincible. If it is outside, we have to wait for its energy to run out, and it will inevitably shut down automatically."

"You can also use force to break through its defense, causing the formation to collapse."

"If it's inside, you can destroy its formation eye or close the formation."

Overland mentioned several methods, but for the expeditionary force, only two methods on the outside were suitable for them.

In other words, either wait or attack with force.

"A strong attack will cost us a lot, right?" Amara didn't want to do this.

If he wanted to attack with force regardless of casualties, he would have used it long ago.

"Actually, we can't afford to wait." Lu Lu sighed.

After all, the supplies consumed by a million-strong army every day are extremely huge and astonishing.

"I know." Amara instantly realized that she had fallen into passivity.

Lu Lu, on the other hand, cursed in his heart that a small human city actually had a weird protective formation.

All his bragging was ruined, but no one knew that Pingyuan City was so arrogant.
