Chapter 957: Chapter 957 Activate War

Wu Zhao hadn’t expected you to be so bold, and her beautiful face quickly became flushed with a rosy glow, her heart even sweeter than ever.

"Milord is so fierce!"

"Milord is mighty!"

Wu Zhao, with her superb shooting skills, had won over all the soldiers, including Hei Chitang. From the burning gaze he cast upon her, it wasn’t hard to tell how excited he was inside.

He and all the soldiers around him began to shout a phrase in their hearts—"We might not die after all!"

In reality, many had joined the army expecting certain death on this expedition. For their country and for their families, the sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty were willing to sacrifice themselves and vowed to drive out the invaders from their homeland forever. But life was precious, and no one wanted to die. From then on, the soldiers trained incredibly hard in the Infinite Bagua Formation that you had taught.

When the soldiers were practicing the Infinite Bagua Formation, you sat down with Wu Zhao at the sideline. You gently wrapped your arms around her and in a soft voice asked, "Zhao’er, your shooting skills are so remarkable, who taught you?"

However, Wu Zhao shook her head and said, "I don’t know. When I first entered the camp, I saw someone practicing archery in the neighboring camp, but a voice in my head seemed to tell me to pick up the bow and arrow. I got this Divine Arm Bow, a Two-stone Bow, from General Cheng, and I feel it’s still a bit light."

When Wu Zhao put it like that, you were at a loss for words. A Two-stone Bow felt light.

Mother, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties, two stones are two hundred and forty catties! You couldn’t help but look at Wu Zhao’s seemingly delicate hands. Seeing your gaze, Wu Zhao couldn’t help but purse her lips and giggle, teasingly glancing at you, and said in jest, "Is my husband disdainful of his wife’s coarseness?"

"International joke, am I that kind of person? My dear little Zhao’er has the same innate divine strength as your husband. I’m beyond thrilled." As you said this, your hands couldn’t resist sliding down Wu Zhao’s back, when suddenly—"Ouch!"

You got poked by something from Wu Zhao again.

"Young disciple." Although she said this, her heart was incredibly sweet. Your behavior was natural and utterly unpretentious, and Wu Zhao could feel your intense love for her.

"My dear Zhao’er, we’re already husband and wife, can’t you let me have a little fun with you?"

"No way, everyone is watching. If they find out, how will I face people in the future?" Wu Zhao’s coquettish glare was overpowering, and although she bore some signs of aging at her temples, her charm remained undiminished, almost making you drool, "Moreover, we’re not even married yet. Would you have the heart to let me be condemned by everyone?"

"Who dares? If anyone dares to speak ill of you, I’ll stuff their mouths with dung!"

With those fierce words, the soldiers sneaking glances from not far away suddenly felt a chill run through them and trained even harder.

Seeing this, Wu Zhao couldn’t help but break into a smile. She leaned gently against your shoulder and spoke calmly, "Husband, I don’t know why, but I’ve always had this bad feeling. If something were to happen to me..."

"Hush, don’t talk like that. Let me tell you, everything is going to be fine. With me, your husband, around, I can turn any bad luck into good fortune, and no one can hurt you while you’re by my side." Saying that, you and Wu Zhao stood up together, "Come on, let’s go practice as well. This Infinite Bagua Formation has limitless applications, and tomorrow we will definitely crush the Qin Kingdom!"

"Mhm." Wu Zhao nodded, her eyes revealing deep confidence in you.

To protect Wu Zhao, you had her stationed in the heart of the Infinite Bagua Formation, protected by Shi Kai’s unit. Her bow and arrow were like a death talisman, providing everyone with a glimmer of security.

During the night, the entire unit did not rest. When everyone felt somewhat weary, they would see a faint green light emanating from the earth under their feet, a light which was particularly obvious in the darkness of the night.

When the soldiers were enveloped by the green light, they felt all their fatigue swept away and returned to their training with renewed vigor.

Everyone knew that this was your silent dedication.

At this moment, you were sitting at the Array Eye, with Wu Zhao beside you, bow in hand serving as a defense, and also practicing the coordinated step technique within the Formation.

Wu Zhao’s talent already amazed even a freak like you, for you had just learned from Wu Zhao herself that she had only started cultivating three months ago, and now she was already on the verge of breaking through to the Combined Martial Realm and entering the Qi Gathering Realm.

Demon indeed, Wu Zhao had surpassed the decade-long arduous cultivation of ordinary people in a mere three months, and she didn’t even practice very hard; she said she merely sat quietly and focused, and her cultivation would naturally increase.

What delighted and surprised you even more was that you found as soon as you were within two meters of Wu Zhao, the Original True Qi within you would naturally start circulating rapidly, and your body would begin absorbing the Heavenly Aura from the air like a sponge.

Of course, for you, the faster Wu Zhao’s cultivation improved, the better it would be for you. This would increase the chances of both of you surviving in war, and more lives of the Tang Army could be saved.

Your body ceaselessly devoured the surrounding Original True Qi. Although the Original True Qi around you was fairly sparse, because the absorption rate was very quick, it temporarily compensated for the quality and gave you a slight advantage in quantity.

On one hand, you focused on cultivating in tranquility, and on the other, you calmed your spirit, as you must reach a saturated state before setting out to battle tomorrow.

An hour before making combat preparations, you allowed your soldiers to rest, but this did not include sleeping.

Under the large environment with the "Gate of Life" activated, the soldiers did not feel much fatigue, and being awake all night did not make them the least bit drowsy. Now, all they possessed was a thick battle spirit and a strong confidence.

This confidence stemmed not only from the miraculous powers of you and Wu Zhao but also from themselves. The Infinite Bagua Formation could be described as interlocking, capable of attacking and defending, with transformations profound and mysterious, not something ordinary formations could compare to.

Moreover, within the formation, the soldiers could clearly feel the enhancement in their strength and speed, which was also the most magical part of the Infinite Bagua Formation.

If one were to speak of the Infinite Bagua Formation, it was also a good application of your understanding of both Original True Qi and the Eight Trigrams Array.

In the Infinite Bagua Formation, you acted as the "Array Eye" of a formation, as long as the Original True Qi within you was sufficient for the activation of the formation, then all the soldiers within the formation would receive an enhancement to their strength and speed.

Accompanying a long horn call, you, who were meditating with closed eyes, suddenly opened them and shouted loudly, "Depart!"

Dust rolled on the battlefield as dirt flew in the air.

The hot sun was overhead, making everyone feel a bit parched. It wasn’t due to thirst, but because of a complex emotion within their hearts, an emotion mixed with impatience, fear, excitement, and even madness.

In the Great Tang Army, the song "Loyal to the Country" that you had once drunkenly presented to Li Shimin was starting to be sung. With slight modifications, it had become a sacred song in the hearts of the Tang soldiers.

The military songs were loud and clear, and you discovered that under the comfort of the songs, the anxious mood was gradually replaced by an unprecedented excitement. The "Loyal to the Country" sung by tens of thousands of people was incredibly resounding, stirring the hearts of all who heard it.

At this moment, you and your united troops were already standing in formation, positioned within the infantry square on the right flank, facing the dense Qin army approximately two thousand meters away.

Qin was dominated by the color black, so their military uniforms were also uniformly black, giving off a very somber feeling as well as an intangible pressure amidst that somberness.

You did not have your united troops form the Infinite Bagua Formation just yet, now was not the time. After a night of crazy training, the soldiers were able to form the array in a brief thirty seconds.

"Wu—"

The horn blew, the sound of war drums began, and the battle commenced!

"Kill!!!"

Tens of thousands cried out in unison, reverberating through heaven and earth, shaking the passing clouds.

"Form up!" you suddenly shouted aloud while running at high speed, and the united troops behind you responded. Their figures interwove, and in an extremely brief amount of time, they had completed the formation.
