Chapter 265: Chapter 178: Grade 9 Military Array, the World Falls Silent

’Infer’

The command had just been issued in Lu Yuan’s mind.

A vast trove of memories concerning Arrays was generated.

Within them, there seemed to be an aura from ancient times.

Grand, domineering, and filled with a sense of mystery.

At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to see a scene from a distant era: a war between Celestial Beings.

The Human Race, using a Giant Array, could even clash with Celestial Beings.

[Ninth-grade Array Formation > (271/1000 Minor Achievement) Additional Effect: Borrow the power of mountains, rivers, and the earth’s ley lines, channel the nation’s destiny, condense it into a Qi Fortune True Dragon, and suppress all insubordination.]

Seeing the memories in his mind, the corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth curled up.

’With this Array, I’d like to see how those Renowned Generals of the world plan to match me.’

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Hongling heard the noise and walked in.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had broken through, she seemed to let out a sigh of relief and said, "You’re finally awake. Those generals under your command are all anxious to see you. They’re all blocking the entrance right now. If you had kept cultivating, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hold them back any longer."

Sure enough, Lu Yuan could faintly hear a clamor from outside.

It caused him to furrow his brows.

He got up and headed outside the tent.

RUSTLE!

The moment the curtain was lifted, a wave of heat washed over him. Dozens of figures were waiting outside.

Xiao Lie, along with a group of high-ranking generals, all looked toward Lu Yuan. After meeting his gaze, they couldn’t help but lower their heads.

They bowed and said, "Greetings, General!"

The sunlight was a bit dazzling. Lu Yuan knew he must have been in seclusion for a whole night.

Then, he said coldly, "What? A mere army of a few million has thrown you into such a panic? What did I say yesterday? What are you doing blocking the entrance? Have you come up with a plan to annihilate the enemy?"

Lu Yuan rarely reprimanded his subordinates, but his voice today was exceptionally stern.

It left the generals under his command not daring to even breathe loudly.

For a moment, they were at a loss.

His gaze, like the edge of a blade, swept across each and every one of them.

They all couldn’t help but shrink their necks back.

Even Xiao Lie felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing this, the three responsible for protecting Lu Yuan—Xiao Ku, Xiao Mie, and Xiao Li—all nodded. Lu Yuan had finally and truly matured.

With such an imposing aura, never mind these proud and fierce generals before him, even if it were directed at them, they themselves would feel their hearts pound with uncertainty.

Next, Lu Yuan took out a booklet and presented it to Xiao Lie. "Use a Profound Light Mirror to copy this and distribute it to every general in the Great Qin army."

"Whether they are a county commander or a prefecture commander, they must all practice and familiarize themselves with the Array within it in the coming days."

"The army will advance in formation. Just focus on mastering the Array within ten days; you don’t need to worry about anything else."

"Everything proceeds according to the original plan."

"Tell the men below: whoever messes up will bring me their head."

His cold voice rang out.

Xiao Lie fumbled to take the booklet, saying respectfully, "As you command!"

Then, the assembled generals dispersed.

After everyone had left, Xiao Ku took a few steps forward, looked at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Are we still going to continue advancing?"

"Of course, we’re advancing. Dayong doesn’t have many people left. Their regular City Guard Army flees at the mere sight of us. This is the perfect time to expand."

"As for the coalition army, they won’t be able to engage our forces for another ten days or so," Lu Yuan said nonchalantly.

Xiao Ku nodded. At the same time, a trace of respect for this young man rose in his heart.

He had never before seen someone remain so composed in the face of such a massive coalition army.

Anyone else would have likely been frantic, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Ku said no more. His responsibility was to protect Lu Yuan, not to offer him advice.

「In the following days.」

As expected, Lu Yuan simply ordered the army to march forward.

The Warriors engaged in battle while simultaneously practicing the Array.

One day, the Great Qin Army had just arrived less than fifty li from the Yong Dynasty’s Imperial City and had set up camp.

Lu Yuan had just entered his tent when he saw Xiao Lie rush in.

However, upon entering the command tent, his steps couldn’t help but slow down.

He became cautious and timid.

Apparently, Lu Yuan’s previous reprimand had left Xiao Lie with some psychological trauma; he no longer dared to appear overly anxious in front of him.

"What happened?" Lu Yuan asked faintly after tossing an intelligence report to the side.

"Prince, the grand armies of the various dynasties have gathered. Great Yu, Xirong, and Dayong have formed Military Arrays on different fronts and are advancing on us. Four Renowned Generals have appeared."

"A Renowned General from the Eastern Barbarians has already launched an attack on the borders of our Great Qin."

"The general defending the fortress sent word that he can hold out for one day at most."

As his voice sounded, even its tone changed.

’The whole world is attacking Qin.’ Xiao Lie didn’t even know how to defend against such a state of war.

After all, no one in the past had ever received such "special treatment," nor had anyone ever stirred up this much trouble.

Lu Yuan nodded. "The Dayong army has appeared as well?"

"They have left the city. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiao, they have deployed a Military Array and are pressing toward us," Xiao Lie quickly replied.

Lu Yuan said softly, "Let’s go take a look."

When he walked out of the camp, he indeed saw a massive Array formation pushing toward his own encampment.

Within the dark, heavy Array, an endless blizzard raged.

It created a domain that, from a distance, was a vast expanse of white. Wherever it passed, the lush green grass and trees of summer were instantly coated in a layer of ice, becoming crystal clear as a visible frost was generated.

And within the blizzard, a colossal figure was chanting, its white robes fluttering, like a Divine Spirit in the snowstorm.

Lu Yuan turned and looked in another direction.
