Chapter 334: The progress of the second offensive, Li Dingguo is full of confidence
"Duh!"
Li Dingguo stood in the air and cast a mysterious seal towards the center of the formation that had just been set up below.
As a colorful stream of light sank into the center of the formation below, rays of colorful light rose from all directions of Qingjian City, which had just been captured by his personal guards, and formed a huge five-colored light shield.
This five-colored light shield flickered in brightness for a while, then disappeared into the air.
At this point, this new city defense formation was finally completed.
All the forces guessed wrong. The town captured by the Restoration Army was not the kind of city defense formation activated by the imperial luck as they imagined.
All the important towns captured by the Fuxing Army and the official seals and magical instruments representing the masters of the cities, as well as the traces of imperial luck contained in them, have been refined and devoured by Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo, who has a complete inheritance of the ancient Five Elements Formation and is a junior formation grandmaster, will certainly not give up his greatest advantage.
What's more, collecting a large amount of luck points is also one of the main purposes of his army entering the pass.
Li Dingguo would certainly not keep the imperial fortune he had obtained, not to mention that it represented the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, and there would be great hidden dangers if he kept it.
Only by refining and devouring the imperial luck that has been obtained can one increase one's own luck value while continuously weakening the true dragon luck of the Ming Dynasty.
His most important task now is to devour the imperial luck in the official seals seized from various armies, and at the same time, to set up a third-level top-grade protective formation for each important town occupied by his side.
As the Restoration Army's offensive progressed rapidly, countless officials, gentry, and wealthy families were wiped out, and a large number of soul beads, spirit beast inner cores, and magic cores were harvested, enough for each firearms battalion to use and for setting up a city defense formation.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of his own military and civilians into the new city defense formation, Li Dingguo upgraded and modified a large number of card readers in the logistics department. As long as his own military and civilians have their own magical identity tokens, they can be identified by their own city defense formation and freely enter and exit the area covered by the city defense formation.
Those magical instrument identity tokens issued to all the soldiers and civilians on his side were refined from the innate formation within the innate artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, and were unforgeable. Li Dingguo would not leave any hidden dangers by doing this.
Each identity token needs to be recognized by a drop of blood, and it must be imprinted with the soul and aura of its own soldiers and civilians. Even if the enemy obtains it through various means, it cannot be used.
Anyone who is not the original owner of the identity token magic weapon will be identified immediately by the city defense formation. Any enemy who wants to sneak through will be trapped.
Over the past month, Li Dingguo took advantage of the time when the soldiers of the Royal Guard Corps were marching to ride on the golden eagle to the important towns captured by the soldiers of the Fuxing Army.
While refining an official seal to gain luck points, he also set up a new type of city defense formation.
Doing so not only eliminates various hidden dangers, but also gains a large amount of luck value.
Last night, Li Dingguo once again spent a large amount of luck to unlock the fourth seal of his natal artifacts, the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
Although the luck points gained by refining official seals during this period of time were all used up again, it was still very worthwhile.
After the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell lifted another seal, the power of the innate Dharma image doubled again, and the combat effectiveness was more than doubled.
After the fourth seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron was broken, the space inside expanded to twenty-four meters in radius, which would be of great help to Li Dingguo in the future.
He planned to take some time to visit the spiritual fruit garden in the old Fan family residence in Jiexiu and collect all the treasures and supplies hidden hundreds of feet underground so that they could be used as soon as possible.
These are the visible benefits, but there are even more invisible benefits.
After the fourth seal of the two innate artifacts, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron, was released, their ability to protect their master became even stronger and could better protect Li Dingguo's own safety.
Even if he was assassinated by a level six expert, he would not be harmed at all in a short period of time.
Unless one is attacked continuously by the opponent, causing one's own spiritual power and internal energy to be quickly consumed, making the innate divine weapon that uses Li Dingguo's spiritual power and internal energy as the energy source to activate the master protection function lose its energy source and become ineffective, Li Dingguo can be killed.
But given Li Dingguo's background, how could he allow the other party to attack him without running away immediately?
With two life-saving artifacts that have released four seals, even a sixth-level strongman cannot restrict his movements.
After unlocking the fourth seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron, the refining capacity of the Human Emperor Cauldron doubled. From now on, as long as there are enough spiritual materials of various levels to use, all the warriors of the Renaissance Army will no longer have to worry about not having suitable spiritual weapon sets to use.
These benefits are the main reason why Li Dingguo decided to spend a lot of luck to lift the seals of the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
"Great Commander!"
Li Dingguo had just activated the new city defense formation he had arranged, and a figure flew over from a distance.
The person who came was Li Mei, the commander of the Royal Guard Corps.
Li Mei was one of the first geniuses to join the Renaissance Army. Like Chang Liyun and Wei Jinfan, she was a core general and senior leader of the Renaissance Army.
After she took two rare marrow cleansing pills in succession, her own qualifications and talents were elevated to the level of a monstrous genius.
Li Mei has now reached the peak of level 4 and has become a core general of the first echelon of the Renaissance Army. Seeing that her aura is becoming more and more stable, and her aura is stirring, it will not be long before she can break through to the initial level of level 5 and become a great master who can rule a region.
Li Mei's management and command abilities are very good, not much different from Hong Mei's, and she is more than qualified to be the commander of the Royal Guard.
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Li Mei, who arrived in a hurry, reported, "I received a message from the leaders of each battalion. The three battalions of the Azure Dragon Army led by Cao Yongxiang advanced in unison. After sweeping across the southern area for thousands of miles, they joined forces and successfully captured Yanchuan City on the west bank of the lower reaches of the Qingjian River."
"The three major battle camps of the White Tiger Army led by Tang Guangqiang swept towards the southwest and met outside Anding City yesterday. They successfully captured Anding City, which is located on the south bank of Qingjian River thousands of miles to the west."
"The Suzaku Corps acted together with the Black Tortoise First Battalion. After the large fleet left the Wuding River, it sailed downstream along the east bank of the Yellow River and successfully captured the riverside fortress towns of Yonghe Pass, Xingde Pass, Tieluo Pass, and Madou Pass."
"Yesterday, their large fleet arrived a thousand miles near the Pingduguan Fortress. They are expected to capture this large riverside fortress today."
It is no exaggeration to say that this round of offensive by the Fusion Army can be described as unstoppable.
"Oh, and General Wan'er also sent a letter back via spirit pigeon."
Li Mei continued, "General Wan'er led the Qilin Corps and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Third Battalion. After completing the first round of sweep operations along the Guannei River in the northern part of the Yellow River basin a month ago, they handed over to the civilian personnel arranged by the military and the garrison."
"This northern army traveled south on a large treasure ship and arrived at the mouth of the Yanshui River yesterday. They turned into the Yanshui River and went upstream."
"It is expected that in half a month, we will capture the important town of Yanchang on the north bank of the Yanshui River in one fell swoop, and then while clearing the surrounding areas, we will wait for our Royal Guards Corps to join us."
"Then we will join forces and sweep towards Luochuan, Ganquan and other places."
"After we capture these areas, we will go to Yan'an City to join the White Tiger Army and complete our second round of offensive."
The most important part of this second round of offensive was the offensive operations along the Yellow River by the Suzaku Legion and the Xuanwu First Battalion.
Whether the traffic between Qin and Jin provinces can be cut off depends on whether the Xuanwu Army can firmly control the long Yellow River basin at the junction of the two provinces.
Only by achieving this strategic goal can the Fuxing Army avoid being attacked from all sides and running around in the future.
"Well, I hope the operations of each combat battalion go smoothly."
After hearing this, Li Dingguo nodded and said, "We have already started a new round of warrior recruitment in all occupied areas, and we are also only recruiting new soldiers under the age of 18."
"With the large amount of training resources I brought back not long ago, and the large amount of spiritual food seized during the invasion operations in the past few months, it is enough to complete the needs of this round of warrior recruit selection."
"Once this round of large-scale warrior recruit selection is over, we will have enough soldiers to guard various local towns. We can free up the soldiers of our five main battle corps and personal guard corps to launch the third round of sweeping offensives from the east and west."
"When the third round of offensive operations is over, it is estimated that Hong Chengchou's army will arrive and engage in a massive showdown with our army."
“By then, I must have broken through to the late fifth level, so I will go and meet Cao Bianjiao, who is known as the world’s number one general, to see if he is as terrifying as the legend says, and invincible at the same level!”
To have a head-on battle with Cao Bianjiao has been Li Dingguo's wish ever since he was reborn through time travel.
As a talented cultivator in the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wanted to meet this kind of peerless genius.
Even if they cannot defeat Cao Bianjiao at that time, as long as they can draw with him, it will have a huge effect on boosting the morale of the Restoration Army.
Li Dingguo is the only backbone of the Fuxing Army. Once he has the ability to confront Cao Bianjiao head-on, the soldiers will have enough confidence and it is inevitable that the morale of the army will soar.
If Li Dingguo could defeat Oboi, the top commander of the Later Jin Tartars, head-on in half a year, it would be a fatal blow to the Later Jin clan!
At that time, the Fuxing Army officially became a top-level force, and its impact on the stability of military and civilian morale was immeasurable.
Once this wish is achieved, no force in the world today will dare to underestimate us anymore, and it will be a natural thing for us to gain a firm foothold in the interior.
The reason why Li Dingguo was so confident in breaking through to the late stage of level five had a lot to do with the fact that he had unlocked the fourth seal of two of his innate divine artifacts.
Especially with the unsealing of the companion artifact Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, the martial arts form that was combined with this innate artifact received feedback from the natal artifact, causing Li Dingguo's own energy and spirit to surge nearly times!
This is the huge benefit that the companion artifact Xuanhuang Chaos Bell brings him.
In the next two or three months, as the Fuxing Army continued to capture cities and territories, Li Dingguo would be able to successfully remove the fifth seal of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell by refining more and more official seals containing the imperial destiny from various places.
By then, with the great feedback from this innate divine weapon again, Li Dingguo will have no choice but to break through to the late stage of level five!
This is what is meant by a natural outcome.
The innate Dharma image formed by most of his own essence, energy and spirit will usher in another surge in power, which will naturally promote Li Dingguo's breakthrough in cultivation.
This is also the reason why Li Dingguo has enough confidence to fight Cao Bianjiao head-on.
No matter how strong Cao Bianjiao was, I was no worse than him in every aspect at that time. What was wrong with a head-on battle?
