Chapter 23: Conquering Three Cities
On the west side of Li Pass, Chen Lan saw Sun Hao's arrival and started fighting without saying anything. He immediately led the Wind God Guards to the center of the formation that Sun Hao had mentioned before.
Although Zhao Shu and Ji Zhan were with him, unless it was necessary, the strong men above the Tianshu Realm would not interfere with the battles below the Tianshu Realm.
So this siege mainly depended on the performance of the border troops and the Wind God Guards.
"Wind God Guards, form a formation!"
At the command, Chen Lan was the first to burst out with a breath, and a mysterious formation diagram spread out with him as the center, slowly covering all 20,000 Wind God Guards.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Wind God Guards urged their spiritual power, and the blue armor shone brightly, slowly turning into blue light and gathering at the position where Chen Lan was, forming a blue shadow a hundred feet high.
Although the shadow was only a hundred feet, its momentum was far beyond that of an ordinary Tianshu Realm strongman.
"Wind God Formation!"
The next moment, the formation took shape, and all the Wind God Guards gathered towards the hundred-foot phantom. After the aura condensed, Chen Lan also completely controlled the complete Wind God Phantom.
This formation was passed down by Chen Feng, and it was unique to the Wind God Guards. It could gather the strength of all the people participating in the formation. It was a rare formation in the entire Xuanling Realm, and it could make the weaker people shoulder to shoulder with the strong people in the Tianshu Realm.
Although the Wind God Phantom was huge, it was not slow in action. With a flash of green light, the Wind God Phantom disappeared completely on the spot, and when it appeared again, it had arrived in front of the formation center on the west side of Liguan.
The green light in his hand turned into a spear, as fast as lightning, and bombarded directly at the weak point.
In Liguan, most people's attention was on Sun Hao. Although there were people guarding the west side, it was far less than usual.
At this time, the green giant suddenly appeared, and the long spear had already touched the formation center of the west side of the formation in the flash of light, and they could not react at all.
After Chen Lan's attack, the center of the formation on the west side trembled. Although the tower was shaky, the formation did not show any signs of being damaged.
After the attack failed, the people in Liguan had already reacted, especially the cultivators who stayed on the west side, who began to frantically inject their spiritual power into the formation to maintain the stability of the formation.
If it was a hundred years ago, they could have stabilized the formation in time, and Chen Lan and the Wind God Guards might not have been able to do anything.
Unfortunately, this place is far worse than a hundred years ago.
"The Wind God is angry!"
The gun failed to hit, and the green spear dispersed. Under Chen Lan's control, the Wind God's phantom put his hands together in front of his chest, and the green light on his right palm was so strong that it seemed that the Wind God's phantom was much dimmer.
The next moment, a palm was slapped.
The formation on the west side of Liguan still did not have any cracks, but was directly shattered. The tower under the protection of the formation also collapsed and turned into ruins.
The formation on the west side was dissipated, and the entire Liguan formation was also affected, and its power was immediately reduced by 30%.
The Bingyue Xianchao warriors in the main battlefield ahead didn't know what had happened, but Sun Hao understood that Chen Lan had succeeded so quickly.
Then he immediately ordered 100,000 border troops to line up and bombard one place continuously. After being weakened, cracks soon appeared on the Liguan formation.
At this moment, the Wind God Shadow had already arrived at the main battlefield, and slapped out the same palm as before, hitting the position where the formation shield had the largest crack.
With one palm, the Liguan formation was broken, and then the protective spirit formation guarding the entire Liguan also completely collapsed and could no longer play a role.
Seeing this, Sun Hao immediately seized the opportunity, and his deputy general in the Tianxuan realm personally led the border soldiers to fly to Liguan to surround and kill the Bingyue Xianchao defenders.
The Wind God Shadow controlled by Chen Lan launched two palms of Tianshu realm attacks, and at this time, it had consumed nearly half of its spiritual power.
Now that the Li Pass formation has been broken, the remaining 10,000 defenders do not need the Wind God Guards to take action, so Chen Lan directly controlled the dispersal of the Wind God's phantom and turned back into Chen Lan and the 20,000 Wind God Guards.
There were no accidents in the subsequent battles. The border troops of the Chenfeng Immortal Dynasty beat the Bingyue Immortal Dynasty with overwhelming numbers and morale.
Soon, Chen Lan and Sun Hao sat together in the City Lord's Mansion of Li Pass.
"The Wind God formation is much stronger than I thought. I didn't expect to break the Li Pass formation so easily."
Sun Hao saw that Chen Lan was a little surprised and explained to him with a smile.
"The Wind God formation is extremely mysterious. Its power is related to the cultivation of the master of the formation and the understanding of the formation. Not everyone can have such power as you when using it for the first time."
His words did not mean to flatter Chen Lan. Chen Lan's performance today really made him very satisfied. His nephew is indeed talented.
"Uncle, Li Pass has been taken, and the cities behind should have received the news now. I want to seize two more cities in one go while they are not ready. Do you have any suggestions?"
Sun Hao also knew that Chen Lan would not stop so easily, so he had considered this matter a long time ago.
"If you want to continue to increase deterrence, you can march straight in, attack Lixi City, Gushan City, and head straight for the capital of Bingyue Xian Dynasty."
"If you really want to plot against Bingyue Xian Dynasty, you can first repair the formation of Li Pass, and then take Sanyuan City and Ningcheng on the north and south sides of Li Pass to form a new line of defense with Li Pass."
Chen Lan looked at the distribution map of Bingyue Xian Dynasty cities in front of him, and kept thinking about Sun Hao's words in his mind.
"Which of these two options is easier?"
For this question, Sun Hao blurted out without any thought.
"Of course it is easy to attack Sanyuan City and Ningcheng. After all, they are border cities, and they have always been led by Liguan. No matter what, they can't compare with those hinterland cities. The defenders are all the elites of Bingyue Xianchao."
When Chen Lan heard the word "elite", he suddenly seemed to be ignited and made a decision immediately.
"Then go straight in. I will attack the elite."
Chen Lan swallowed the word "I" very reluctantly. After all, the person in front of him was his uncle, so he didn't need to be too polite, but he would still be beaten if he talked nonsense.
Sun Hao was not too surprised. No matter which one Chen Lan chose, he would not refute.
"Although the city defense formations of Lixi City and Gushan City are not as good as Liguan, they are well prepared in advance and have no weaknesses. They will be stronger than Liguan."
"But seeing the power of your Fengshen formation today, it is not difficult to break the formation under continuous attacks."
Chen Lan immediately got excited. If the city defense formation can be broken, what are you waiting for.
"When the whole army recovers its spiritual power, we will continue marching and head straight for Lixi City."
"Okay."
Sun Hao agreed and went down to make arrangements in person.
Then, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Chen Lan's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully interrupting the Son of Destiny to win the trust of the Ice Moon Emperor, and rewarded with mastery of formations. ]
[Mastery of formations: Increase the host's understanding of formations, increase the power of formations when in the main formation, and find the weaknesses of any formation with the help of the Eye of Breaking Illusions. ]
When Chen Lan heard the voice of the system, he knew that the news of Liguan should have been transmitted back to the capital of the Ice Moon Immortal Dynasty.
This is not surprising. As an important border pass, Liguan must have a way to contact Kyoto directly.
On the contrary, this reward made Chen Lan very satisfied.
It is worthy of being a system, always delivering key things so timely.
After Chen Lan mastered the formation, he could not only further enhance the power of the Wind God Formation, but also cooperate with the Eye of Breaking Illusions to find the weaknesses of the Ice Moon Immortal Dynasty's city defense formation behind.
With this, Chen Lan's attack on the city will be much easier.
As Chen Lan expected, after mastering the formation, the power of the Wind God formation increased by more than three times.
In addition, he was always able to find the key points of the Ice Moon Immortal Dynasty's city defense formation in a short time, and the formations of the two cities could not stop the two palms of the Wind God's phantom.
His performance shocked Sun Hao, but Sun Hao did not delay at all.
He followed Chen Lan's steps and commanded the border troops. After Liguan, before the reinforcements of the Ice Moon Immortal Dynasty arrived, he broke through Lixi and Gushan again.
"Uncle, leave 20,000 border troops here to help me rebuild the city defense formation of Gushan City, and I will stop the reinforcements of the Ice Moon Immortal Dynasty."
"Take the rest of the people to take Sanyuan City and Ningcheng. Although the two cities are now somewhat prepared, they are isolated and helpless."
"I want them all!"
