"Unless we have the assistance of an army, there’s no chance of victory."
This statement is indeed correct. With two World Bosses and countless little monsters, it’s simply unmanageable. Only by sending an army, cooperating with the Four True People and players, can we have a chance. The army’s role is naturally to serve as cannon fodder. In case of defeat, they can cover the retreat.
However, flying in dozens or hundreds of people might be possible. Bringing in thousands upon thousands of troops is clearly unrealistic.
If we directly charge into the formation, it would be falling into the enemy’s trap. The purpose of this big array is to trap and kill the army, with the enemy conserving strength and responding with the formation. Even an army of two hundred thousand might find it difficult to gain any advantage.
Seeing that neither option seemed feasible, everyone was hesitating.
Suddenly, a soft laugh echoed in the tent.
"Why sigh, everyone? Though this formation is somewhat dangerous, it is not difficult to break."
Chen Tianwen’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Xiao Jie was slightly taken aback and thought, "Is Chen Tianwen really that impressive?" Though he is a Qimen Immortal Master, which is a top-tier Master of Magic profession, that Demon Path King Evil is a Level 58 World Boss. Could the formation he set up be so easily broken by Chen Tianwen?
At this moment, Chen Tianwen spoke confidently, "This formation is called the Ten Extremes Formation. It appears as one, but is actually divided into ten arrays. Among them, nine arrays are guest arrays, and one is the main array. The main array is located at the center of the big array, where Long Wushang and King Evil garrison, commanding the troops and controlling the big array’s operations and transformations.
This Ten Extremes Formation is interlinked, containing changes of the Five Elements and mysteries of the Six Harmonies, full of killing intent and ever-changing...
However, a formation is an inanimate object. Though the changes are many, they will eventually exhaust. Understanding its principles and discerning the pivotal points — the gates of life and death exist within the mind. Although the Ten Extremes Formation is profound, I view it as if observing lines on my palm, its reality and illusion fully visible.
The Ten Extremes Formation is arranged by the Heavenly Stems, divided into ten gates: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.
It also changes with the Five Elements, divided into Positive Five Elements Formation and Anti-Five Elements Formation, which mutually conquer and generate.
Heavenly Stems rotate, Five Elements reverse... Jia Wood meets Geng Metal, it must be the Gate of Death; Bing Fire encounters Ren Water, it should be the Gate of Shock... Wu Earth is central, seemingly the Gate of Life, but actually a bait, luring one into the trap...
"If a troop charges into the Yi Wood Array, it will surely trigger changes in Xin Fire and Bing Fire arrays. So-called great fire in the sky, wood will turn to ashes, this troop will be heavily damaged, but it can trigger a slight chance for our army’s upcoming battle.
At this moment, dispatch a troop to attack the Ren Water Array, causing changes in the Jia Wood Array, then charge into the Gui Water Array, disrupting the enemy’s disposition. As long as the troops in the Jia Wood Array are not completely annihilated, the enemy will be thrown into a state where water and fire are not ready.
At this time, the Ten Extremes Formation will reveal a flaw. However, this flaw is a bait; without understanding, sending troops in there would mean certain death.
Send a death squad into the array to lure the enemy. When Geng Metal and Ding Metal arrays are triggered, the real flaw will appear. So-called fire and thunder are ready, earth and heaven’s calamity at hand; then send a troop to attack the Jia Wood Array, and another into the Xin Fire Array. Thus, the positive and negative Five Elements cannot generate each other, and the enemy cannot attend both ends, so our forces can fully deploy and directly take the enemy’s main array."
Chen Tianwen spoke impressively, while Xiao Jie was bewildered, thinking "What’s going on?"
He looked at the complex array diagram on the sand table but couldn’t make sense of it.
In his eyes, this big array on the sand table was just a strange defensive system made up of numerous cumbersome constructions.
What Ten Arrays, what Five Elements Changes — completely incomprehensible.
Looking around, the generals were all confused, the Three State Shepherds were deep in thought, and the players were even more astounded.
Only Master Qingfeng and Longhua True Man stroked their beards, nodded continuously.
Longhua True Man slightly bowed, "Wentian Daoist truly learns from the heavens. I can perceive three or four of this formation, but the changes cannot be fully understood. That Wentian Daoist could so quickly find a way to break the formation is truly admirable."
Master Qingfeng also nodded repeatedly, "In this way, we may try, but that Demon Path King Evil and Long Wushang jointly guard the main array. Relying on our four alone may not fully succeed; we must widely recruit heroes to grand venture."
"Haha, speaking of heroes, such a grand battle, how could I be absent?" A clear and cold voice came from outside the tent. Everyone turned to look and saw Master Xiao Yue in a silver armor battle attire, striding in.
