wrong
Something's not right here.
The abundant spiritual energy was real; he could feel his body rapidly recovering. The inability to leave was also likely real, as he couldn't see any flaws in this world. His intuition told him that breaking through with force was definitely not a good method. But one thing was false.
That was the sense of security that Chen Qing deliberately created.
This place has abundant spiritual energy and allows one to observe the outside situation at any time. It seems like a perfect place to wait for an opportunity to act, but in reality, it is not.
There's something here that stirs up emotions!
Yes, he had actually felt it just now; his emotions were being manipulated by something.
"From the beginning, I suspected something was amiss. There was something lurking around." The Emperor maintained his distance from Chen Qing, speaking softly, "That Ancient Demon Clan's war priest was utterly incompetent and contradictory. At that time, I wondered if he was behaving strangely."
"Then I suddenly took action against Ziyue, which now seems very irrational."
"Why act irrationally?" Chen Qing looked at the battlefield and smiled, "His Majesty's army is on the verge of collapse, isn't it normal to intervene?"
The emperor said nothing, but silently watched the battlefield. Just as Chen Qing had said, the entire imperial army was on the verge of collapse.
The great formation was broken in several places, and even the commanders of several places were killed. Anyone who understands military affairs would know that the imperial army was about to collapse when they saw this scene.
Once the major formations are broken, the overall qi and blood will collapse instantly, at which point the sixteen cavalry of the Four Saints Army will be subjected to an overwhelming massacre.
The Quefeng was filled with mixed emotions upon seeing this scene, but there was nothing he could do. The strange golem in front of him did nothing but coldly stare at him, which made him dare not do anything. After all, the ability to make His Majesty disappear was too bizarre.
Did I really choose the wrong path?
Quefeng was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Originally, he and King Chujiang were cooperating with the Ancient Demon Clan, but they were tricked by the Emperor in the capital, encountered that powerful woman, and were forced to submit. What should he do if the Ancient Demon Clan now defeated the court?
Shamelessly throw it back?
Even though I'm usually quite shameless in my actions, this is just too much.
The moment this thought arose, the military tally suddenly lit up.
While remaining wary of the golem before her, the Quefeng glanced at the area far behind her.
The emperor has been made to disappear, and now the only one qualified to hold the military seal is that woman, who seems to be getting restless.
But what else can she do?
The Yin Crow Flame's forceful sealing of King Level opponent consumed a tremendous amount of energy; she's probably using less than 20% of her usual power now. Can she turn the tide of battle by forcibly intervening now?
But such doubts quickly disappeared.
He didn't see the woman make a move; instead, he saw the large-scale movement of the imperial army.
The originally complex and meticulously arranged military formation began to move swiftly like flowing water, as naturally and smoothly as receding tides.
This scene stunned not only the Quefeng, but also the Four Saints Army who were charging forward.
In the midst of the battle, they could clearly see that the great formation was on the verge of being destroyed, yet the enemy dared to change their formation at this crucial moment!
The so-called formation change is to forcibly change the action of the army formation by command. This method is extremely demanding on the commander's ability to control the situation, because formation change is not a common formula. It is not that you can change the formation at will just because you have a lot of army formations during the exercise. It must be done according to the situation at the time.
Especially for a military formation with a force of 100,000, the slightest carelessness can lead to the collapse of the entire formation's vitality. If a few parts are not executed properly, a last-minute change in formation can cause the entire army to collapse.
Commanders who dare to change tactics on the spot during a major battle are extremely rare in the entire history of the Central Plains. And to dare to change tactics in the face of imminent defeat, the commanders of the Sixteen Routes said that they had never seen such a bold commander in their inherited memories.
Given the already dire situation, declining morale, and panic, forcibly changing tactics at this point carries an extremely high risk. How can you expect a group of soldiers on the verge of defeat to execute your flawless command of a tactical change?
Their first thought was that the opposing coach had gone mad.
But what happened next shocked them even more. The soldiers, who were on the verge of collapse, seemed completely unaffected. The entire formation, whether it was being attacked or still in the midst of battle, was organizing and changing formation in an orderly manner.
The number of soldiers used to hold off the battle was so precise that they changed formation and retreated without hesitation. The soldiers used to cover the rear did not hesitate at all, and the retreating soldiers did not panic at all. The entire formation became so smooth and fluid, and the beauty of this smooth formation broadened the horizons of everyone watching!
"Legend has it that although King Xiang was a newly emerged Ghost King, his military command was exceptional, unparalleled in his time. His Ghost Army was fearless and could often fight to the last man without collapsing, an absolute miracle. Today I have witnessed it firsthand. It is fortunate that he was outmaneuvered back then, otherwise he might have truly overthrown all the forces on the Yin-Yang Road!"
"Indeed impressive."
Kagura also watched coldly from that direction. The cooperation between the human race and King Xiang made her very uneasy. King Xiang was a variable back then, and now the human emperor is also a variable. With two variables combined, it was really hard to feel at ease.
The woman commanding the troops was no ordinary person either. The formation she changed on the spot was extremely reasonable, almost the one with the fewest losses. Even Wang Yue, who was known as the Military Saint among the Four Great Guilds, might not have been able to perform so well.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
In the World in the Painting, Chen Qing couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, "Is this the person His Majesty can trust to defend the capital? I've truly witnessed something extraordinary. Not only does she possess the talent of the Yin Crow Flame, but she also has such military talent despite never having fought in battle. She's truly blessed by heaven!"
This complaint is genuine. The woman's background is shrouded in mystery; even Ziyue was unaware of her existence, which shows how well she usually hides herself. Logically speaking, such a person should not have the opportunity to personally command a major battle, even if she has secretly studied it. Everyone knows the difference between theoretical knowledge and actual operation.
But there are some unreasonable people in this world. They are clearly not born into military families, and they have never had the opportunity to command battles before, but they can still perform like King as soon as they step onto the field, and they can't lose no matter how they fight.
"No wonder His Majesty is not worried at all. With such a capable person here, even if they can't gain an advantage, they can certainly ensure the army's safe retreat."
The emperor smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Indeed, with such a powerful backer, why was I in such a hurry to act?"
Chen Qing: "."
"So I feel something is very wrong. If I'm not mistaken, this so-called golem has other abilities, doesn't it?"
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"The manipulation and alteration of emotions," the emperor said coldly. "It can agitate other people's emotions, making the angry angrier, the irritable more irritable, and the guilty more timid. All negative emotions are amplified. Take the Quefeng, for example. After several blows, cracks appeared in its heart. Now, it doesn't even have the courage to strike again, yet it doesn't realize it. Am I right?"
"Your Majesty's words are... How would I know?" Chen Qing laughed.
"You know that, don't you, King of Qin Highness?"
