Chapter 2768 Trump Cards and Sophistry
Such a powerful artifact is rare even for Panlong. It was specially given to Zhong Shengguang by Xin Yi through a third party, and it is said to be one of the most treasured artifacts of Mount Ling. He Lingchuan originally hoped to use it on the Great Heavenly Demon to catch him off guard.
There's nothing we can do; plans can't keep up with changes.
The brutality of today's war has exceeded everyone's expectations. We haven't even reached the second half yet, and Panlong has already unleashed several of his most powerful moves.
At this point in the fight, even He Lingchuan could only take it one step at a time and react to each move as it came.
However, the giant elephant legion of Baoxiang Kingdom has always been Panlong's biggest headache. Being able to wipe them out here is a huge tactical success for Panlong. Those giant iron lumps are mobile fortresses, not only with explosive impact force, but also able to carry archers and spearmen, truly powerful weapons for charging into battle.
The Giant Elephant Legion was small in number, but it had always been Bega's elite force, and for a reason. Yuan energy was not very effective at resisting such direct and brutal military attacks. He Lingchuan preferred his Tiger Wing Army to face a combined attack from immortals and demons rather than have them confront the Giant Elephant Legion directly.
Zhong Shengguang also looked solemn.
The Dragon-Binding Platform was originally a set of two parts: the platform and the pillars, with a total of forty-nine pillars. However, when Xin Yi delivered it, about ten pillars were already damaged—even Lingshan couldn't afford to repair them; they were too expensive.
In this great battle, Zhong Shengguang only threw out pillars because the platform of the Dragon Binding Platform consumed too much energy. Where else could Panlong not use the saved Xuanjing and Yuanli?
“Beijia’s Yuan Power is also very vicious. The Binding Dragon Formation can only last for eighty breaths at most.” He said to He Lingchuan, “Intensify the attack.”
He Lingchuan was also secretly counting down: "That's enough."
In a national war of this caliber, it's remarkable that a magical artifact like the Dragon Binding Formation can last for eighty breaths. Firstly, the energy supply of the Panlong Formation can't sustain it for long, and secondly, the Bega army's attack on the Dragon Binding Formation is relentless.
Although the Dragon-Binding Pillar is powerful, it was not created for war. Faced with the erosion of the Yuan Power of a great power, it is also difficult to withstand, and it has no self-healing ability, unlike the dam wall of the Singing Sand Forest.
He Lingchuan estimated that eighty breaths would be enough. He wasn't aiming to annihilate the giant elephant legion on the battlefield; simply halting their charge would suffice. These creatures needed a long distance to accelerate, and the Longkeng battlefront was already a chaotic mess, leaving no room for them to speed up.
While the Dragon Binding Formation was in effect, two more teams of the Panlong Army advanced into the basin, slaughtering the giant elephants with all their might. Even the heavy weapons on the city gates turned and fired in that direction. Once they could no longer run, these guys would become huge mountains of flesh and targets.
In an instant, the roars of the giant elephants and the army mingled together, shaking the heavens and the earth.
That basin quickly turned into a blood basin.
"The Dragon Binding Pillar!" Just as Commander-in-Chief Gao Huaiyuan was shocked by the appearance of this strange magical artifact, the cold voice behind him shouted its name, "Lingshan gave all these treasures to Panlong!"
Its tone was stern as it questioned Gao Huaiyuan: "If you were going to send out the giant elephant legion, why did you place them on the side road? If they had been in the middle to cooperate with us, we could have achieved twice the result with half the effort."
I knew this commander was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, always trying to divide his troops among other forces.
Gao Huaiyuan's mouth was full of bitter complaints.
Mid lane? Mid lane is packed with people. The giant elephant has a hard time even turning around here, let alone accelerating.
What's the difference between a giant elephant that can't muster its speed and a giant target? Just look at the herd of elephants bound by the dragon-binding pillar.
He could only say, "The central area is too crowded and is a battleground for both sides, so the giant elephant can't maneuver properly."
"So, have you achieved your goal now?"
"Of course not." Gao Huaiyuan was speechless.
How could he have foreseen that Panlong possessed such a treasure? You must know that ordinary magical artifacts are not very useful on the battlefield, unless they are specific array artifacts or divine artifacts.
What troubled Gao Huaiyuan even more was that, as the battle deepened, even with both immortals and demons concentrating their attacks on two fronts, the pace of advance did not change significantly. On the contrary, this relieved the Panlong army of the burden of being pressured from multiple sides, allowing them to engage in a direct confrontation in the middle.
Previously, the Bega army had already eroded many of Panlong's territories. Why, with so many immortals and demons involved in the final battle, was it still not enough to quickly push them aside? Logically speaking, the role of immortals and demons should not just be to add icing on the cake, but to deliver the decisive blow.
After much thought, Gao Huaiyuan could only conclude that it came down to two points:
Firstly, after the celestial beings of Lingxu gathered, they were even less willing to obey his commands as their commander. They were simply incapable of following orders and acting with the same discipline as a large army. This level of discipline was vastly different from the Panlong Army opposite them—he had already discovered that the immortals of Panlong were exceptionally obedient, charging into battle without hesitation. Gao Huaiyuan personally felt a deep sense of envy.
Secondly, as I said before, perhaps everyone has overestimated the role of immortals and demons on the current battlefield.
Conversely, everyone underestimated the ability of Yuan Power to restrain immortals and demons.
The supernatural powers and magic of immortals and demons are often very loud, with extraordinary sound and light effects, which can turn the entire battlefield into a haze of smoke, as if it were the end of the world. However, the direct effect on the enemy is greatly reduced.
Furthermore, aside from a limited number of battle formations, the conventional formations used by immortals and demons have limited effectiveness on the battlefield. They have been used before, and some have even had an effect, but they are quickly broken.
On the contrary, it was the army's real swords, spears, and arrows that struck directly, leaving the enemy with little chance of escape and causing them to suffer serious injuries.
Faced with such a scene, wouldn't the gods of Lingxu feel embarrassed?
No one can deny their individual strength, but on the battlefield, they can no longer easily wipe out the enemy with a wave of their hand.
At this moment, Xi Yu turned around and said in a clear voice:
"Heavenly Venerable, the Holy Venerable's will..."
These words were specifically addressed to the people behind Gao Huaiyuan.
He had only uttered those six words when the cold voice interrupted him, saying, "I know."
"Useless! You can't even get to the foot of the stockade wall!" His next words were clearly a sign of his dissatisfaction with Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "I may have made some oversights, but the fact that Panlong used the Dragon Binding Formation to stop the Giant Elephant Legion is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows that they have few conventional battlefield tactics left and have no choice but to reveal their trump cards."
What do you do when you're out of cards and it's your turn to play, and you absolutely have to?
The two kings had to be handed over separately.
The combination that could have been a game-changer can now only achieve a mediocre result, losing its ability to instantly kill the enemy.
Isn't this good?
"An ancient treasure like the Dragon Binding Formation is simply not suitable for large-scale use on the battlefield; it breaks down very quickly! They probably originally intended to use it secretly in the war between immortals and demons. Now that it's been used up prematurely, we've lost a trump card later on."
"So, you're sending the giant elephant legion to their deaths for our own good?"
