Battle formations could broadly be called formations, but formations were not necessarily battle formations.
Still, battle formations were a branch of the art of formations, and in most people's eyes, there was little difference.
The deployment and charge of the Twelve Capitals Banner-Demon Formation made one thing abundantly clear: if the Huan Emperor wanted to leave, the Han Kingdom could not stop him. Even deploying ten million troops of the Chu-Han Allied Army to form two extraordinary formations that sealed heaven and locked down earth changed nothing. Thus, Han King Liu Bang's threat and the blockade imposed by those two formations were naturally ineffective-at least against the Twelve Capitals Banner-Demon Formation.
"Aooo..."
The twelve Capital-Heaven Demon God Manifestations charged straight toward the dragon manifestation of the Twelve Earthly Branch Manifestations.
This Earthly-Branch Dragon Manifestation was, after all, condensed from the strength of tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, of Han Army soldiers. More than a dozen li long, it roamed and roared, riding clouds and driving mist. Its pressure, far surpassing that of Descended Immortal Gods, enveloped hundreds of li in the northern district of Chaoge Royal City, striking terror into every heart. Within a hundred li, it rampaged unchecked; none could break through, and even ghosts and gods fled before it.
This Earthly-Branch Dragon Manifestation had a head like an ox, antlers like a deer, eyes like a shrimp, ears like an elephant, a neck and belly like a snake, scales like a fish, claws like a phoenix, and paws like a tiger. It was unmistakably a Divine Dragon from the myths and legends of China's Divine Land, not the sort of Western Dragon found in the Great Huan Faction's Dragon Legion. The difference between the two was plainly that between heaven and earth.
