Chapter 209: Chapter 208: The Shock of the Great Yan Generals
The Great Yan Army Formation is essentially a Transcendent Means that unifies the power of multiple people.
This is not particularly rare among the various Extraordinary Paths.
In magic, there is also magic cast by multiple people, and even in alchemy, there is Combined Alchemy.
However, most of these methods can only gather the power of dozens of people, or at most hundreds of people.
But this kind of formation could gather the strength of a million people!
It is considered a Transcendent Means specifically used on the battlefield, capable of producing a rather terrifying effect compared to individual combat.
Similar inheritances to this army formation are indeed available in the marketplace, found in the VIP store with a Quality above blue.
Yet, without a solid foundation, without decoding, they are not so easy to learn.
This illustrates the importance of having a foundation.
Presently, the Great Yan Army Formation had laid everything out in front of Human Civilization.
There were not only inheritances, but also experts on the Formation, and even the performance from yesterday’s battlefield. Additionally, with Fiora’s complete record and calculations, Shen Hao saw a viable option for quick learning.
Fiora did not disappoint him.

“Models related to the army formation have been established, but for a super-large army formation of a million people, one needs to practice the same Cultivation Technique and continue extensive practice and drills. It’s difficult to replicate in a short time,” She quickly displayed several schemes to Shen Hao. “The optimal scheme calculated is to use a consistent piece of alchemy equipment as the hub to create a simplified version of a hundred-thousand-person formation. The disadvantage is that its scale and augmentation cannot compare to the million-level army formation, but the advantage is that no complex training is required and it can be quickly implemented.”
Shen Hao looked at the schemes in front of him with a sense of awe.
It has to be said, perhaps this is Fiora’s greatest utility!
Using it for AI management is merely a waste of Fiora’s capabilities. Her strongest aspect likely lies in the simulation and computation within the Extraordinary Domain.
Like the plans currently displayed.
Everything is based on the Transcendent inheritances from the marketplace given by Shen Hao, and the usage model of the Great Yan Army Formation. Yet even so, to achieve such viable results, one would need to gather experts from two civilizations and various pathways to engage in lengthy studies and discussions.
But now, Fiora had taken only so much time to obtain a viable plan!
“Can it be further optimized?” Shen Hao asked while looking over the scheme contents.
“Returning to master, this is already the preliminary calculation’s best scheme. Further optimization would require greater computational input, more detailed data models, and more time…” Fiora explained.
Shen Hao gradually understood.
Fiora’s capabilities were indeed powerful, but not as exaggerated as he initially thought.
What she could quickly derive was only the basics.
Fundamentally, she was similar to a calculator, capable of quickly completing complex calculations that would require many people. However, once it involved content outside of the inheritance models, that would not work then; such information had to be obtained from the marketplace or researched by experts from various domains.
But even so, she remained powerful, especially in the current situation where there was no lack of knowledge inheritance; only rapid learning, combination, and application were needed. She was truly a Divine Artifact!
“In that case, pass it to the command department, and have them implement it as soon as possible,” Shen Hao finally instructed.
In war, temporarily enhancing strength might seem unthinkable, but within the Civilization Trial, it’s completely normal.
Every civilization hasn’t stopped increasing its strength!
Soon, the schemes were delivered to the command center, and the many commanders, upon seeing these schemes, were also thrilled.
In this war against the Undead, Extraordinary Means are more useful than technological methods.
Otherwise, the Desert Tower Civilization wouldn’t have been so devastated. Once they fail to eliminate the Undead at the start, the entire Desert Tower Civilization faced the undead army with hardly any resistance, even performing worse than the Louis Civilization, which was ranked fifth.
At least the Louis Civilization hadn’t collapsed all at once within a single day, even their top ruler wasn’t killed.
Therefore, these schemes built on the Great Yan Army Formation were quickly disseminated.
From back-end to front-line, acceleration in all aspects was initiated.
First was special equipment. The design carried out by Fiora was based on the Wing Sky people’s alchemy level, also using some basic materials from the marketplace. After brief testing, the Wing Sky people stopped other production work and started mass production.
In this Alliance, although the Wing Sky people did not directly form an army, they established an alchemy logistics division at the front line.
Mainly to adjust equipment for the frontline warriors.
Shen Hao assigned this task to Chen Sihui.
Chen Sihui, as one of Shen Hao’s original direct subordinates who was somewhat inconspicuous, actually played an important role during this time, especially after the Wing Sky people joined; she was fully committed to the design and manufacturing of logistics equipment.
Her own job change was also related to this field.
Named “Immortal Master Yan.”
Yes, this is a standard Cultivation profession, similar to Puppet Master, but as a Purple Epic profession, it is not just about puppetry.
Magic treasures, mechanisms, puppets…
She was adept at handling all of these.
This time, she personally oversaw the production, even applying to go to the front lines herself to observe and make adjustments.
Yet, in just three short days, Chen Sihui had brought the first batch of equipment to the front line.
Although the defense war of the Desert Tower had only been ignited for four days, the intensity of the battlefield had exceeded many people’s expectations.
Facing the defense of the Alliance, the Undead seemed unwilling to let them simply take away the remaining hundred billion people of the Desert Tower. They even reduced their harassment on other planets and transferred more and more Undead to the Desert Tower Mother Planet.
The total number was even more than one billion!
The Alliance also increased its support, sending all two hundred sixty million people prepared, and many more Legion were still preparing.
The intensity of the battlefield, while not as bloody as the previous Blood Demon War’s meat grinder battles, had seen as many as twelve million sacrifices within just three short days due to its scale.
Even the rear, on the Human Mother Planet, was filled with a solemnity that only appeared during wartime.
However, the warriors of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty were more accepting of it—they had been continually waging war in the past, and the current intensity was even better than they had anticipated.
At this moment, Zhu Wu was not very nervous.
His war armor had a huge rupture that was inflicted on the second day after reaching the battle zone by an Undead of Level 18.
Later, using the “Emperor Talisman,” he successfully killed that powerfully strong Undead.
Now, recalling the battle of that day, Zhu Wu’s heart surged with pride once again.
Of course, more than that, he was astonished by the President of Human Civilization.
He now realized just how strong that person was.
Not only could he lend strength to his direct subordinates to wield power comparable to the third stage, but he was also able to create such powerful talismans that every person could use. Even the Immortals of legend were probably no better.
They in Great Yan had indeed been immersed in their own glory for too long, unable to imagine that there could be such a powerful Chosen One, such a mighty civilization.
“Unfortunately, this alliance can only last until the end of this Trial,” Zhu Wu regretted whenever he thought of this.
Speaking thoughts that might be somewhat disrespectful, he felt that this Emperor was far stronger than their own.
Initially, when he learned that using the “Emperor Talisman” required him to shout “In the name of Emperor Wu Shang,” he, along with many Great Yan warriors and generals, was quite reluctant.
However, after using it as per the command within the channel the day before yesterday, Zhu Wu regretted his initial reluctance.
Such great power, how could they not use it!
“If the alliance could continue, my Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would probably have an easier time advancing in the Civilization Trial.” Zhu Wu looked towards another patch of defense not far away where a group of Mongolians, a species, were positioned. He felt somewhat envious.
Although the civilization of the Mongolians had perished, these surviving Mongolians had such a powerful Chosen One and the immensely potential Human Civilization as their backing.
Their losses in these days of battle were much less while their military achievements were even more numerous than theirs.
He envied all the powerful equipments, weapons, and spiritual medicines that all logistical supports provided.
“Our Emperor also possesses a Golden Legendary Ability, and has a great future too…” Zhu Wu consoled himself internally.
Suddenly, an urgent notification appeared on his personal terminal.
Zhu Wu’s gaze sharpened—there was an urgent task!
In these short three days, he had no qualms about the orders issued from the Human Civilization-led headquarters.
Every command and directive was crucial, and on several occasions, warnings about the enemy’s movements allowed him to focus on his expertise without worrying about anything else, thereby achieving a more exhilarating feeling than under General Mu Zhan’s command.
Thus, he valued the tasks very highly.
However, this time, the newly received task was not a combat mission as he had expected.
“Support for a hundred thousand soldiers… am I to advise and help the reinforcements use military formations?” Zhu Wu’s eyes widened in shock!
There was a moment where he almost doubted what he had read.
As a General of Great Yan, he was naturally more than familiar with military formations, and precisely because of this familiarity, he understood how difficult it was to train an army capable of using military formations!
Out of the over two hundred fifty billion people in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, there were at least one hundred fifty million with strengths above Level 7.
Originally everyone practiced martial arts and Qi refinement, and since the start of the Civilization Trial, during this cultivation boom epoch, even ordinary civilian farmers had strengths of third to fourth levels; numbers of people above Level 7 were at least ten times more than the official military.
Why were there only these one hundred fifty million people in the official military?
It was naturally because of the difficulty of maintaining military formations!
