Chapter 552: A Great Gap

Outside the city there was an open land. There was nowhere to hide
Charging in the front, the elite team was soon discovered
Almost 100 bolt throwers shone. The radiance emitted by them covered every inch outside the city within a range of 30 miles. Endless arrows came
The elite team was like a silver beam, shining and solid. All of the arrows were bounced off them, leaving endless rattling sound behind
“Military counselor?” The senior general responsible for the defense of the city said in a tone of asking for instructions, coming up to the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop
He had been the supreme commander of the city, but the military counselor took over from him after his arrival
Anyone would be unhappy with that. And this military counselor didn’t look like a military man at all. He was only good at tactical formations and wards
Facing the enemy’s attack, he refused to use the deployed formation and sent the Black Dragon Troop to confront the enemy, resulting in unnecessary casualties
The only reason was he was leaving all this to one particular man
If he weren’t in a higher position, the senior general of the Black Dragon Troop might have drawn out his knife
“Let me see whether this Jiang Chen is good enough.” The military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop nodded. He switched on the first formation
The two-mile-high city wall was built by rectangular blue flagstone of the same size. They all looked exactly the same, fitting together perfectly. The crisscrossed seams made the wall look like a giant chessboard
As the military counselor waved his hand, there were golden lights overflown from the seams to form a giant net that flew towards the charging elite team
“Let me see how you’ll crack my Heavenly Silk Net Formation!” The military counselor said with a cold smile. He was very proud of this masterpiece of his. The giant net made of golden silk threads was dazzling
And it was powerful
Maybe its destructive power wasn’t the most amazing, but it was definitely one of the formations most difficult to crack.
“Once the net gets them, their formation will be melted. That’s when you’ll launch the attack,” the military counselor said
“Yes, sir!” The senior general said loudly
If that was the case, it would be the best. The formation of the Black Dragon Troop could kill each individual enemy easily
“Since when do they have such a formation?!” Following the elite team, Zhao Wenhao and others all turned pale when they had seen the giant golden net. This was one of the trickiest formation the Dragon Rebel Army had
Putting its destructive power aside, the thing was once they were under the net, any formation would be cracked
If the elite team couldn’t maintain the Cracking Resistance Formation, they would be courting death
Zhao Wenhao didn’t understand why the Black Dragon Troop had fought against them despite of the Heavenly Silk Net Formation, which had led to his wrong estimation about the defensive power in the city
It was already too late to retreat. The giant golden net was like a tsunami
“Are they showing off?” In the elite team, Jiang Chen laid his eyes on the giant net. He was more surprised than panicked
He felt like he was being challenged. This was the intuition of a tactical formation master
“Change!” No matter what the fact was, Jiang Chen was going to crack the giant net, and he was able to do that
The Cracking Resistance Formation changed from the silver beam into an extra large drop of water. Staying still in the air, it was waiting for the giant golden net’s approach
When the giant golden net got closer, about to wrap the elite team in, the water drop started to swirl around the net
It was a weird scene. The closing net became soft as the drop of water drop tumbled. It couldn’t wrap the water drop in.
In the end, wherever the water drop passed by, the golden silk threads lost their luster, as if they had been eroded. A hole finally appeared
The elite team went out through the hole. Zhao Wenhao felt relieved. He was happy that he had made a right decision to let Jiang Chen join the elite team
“It worked?” The proud military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop was petrified. He had never thought his tactical formation would have been cracked in such a funny way
“Military counselor, they’re closer and closer to the city. Let’s send the soldiers out,” the senior general said helplessly
The elite team would be over the city very soon. If they started the battle by then, the exploitation of the Black Yellow Gas would probably be affected
“Shut up! The really interesting part of the show is yet to come. Why are you in such a hurry?” The military counselor shouted in anger. He thought he had been looked down. However, he was too weak to speak resonantly
Anyway, the senior general wasn’t going to go against him
“So, the real competition starts now!” The military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop made a great effort to straighten his back, waving his hands
In an instant, two great formations outside the city wall and three wards were switched on together. Working with each other, they formed an absolute zone
At the same time, the military counselor played his trump card, expecting to eliminate all of the enemy after Jiang Chen fell into his trap
“If we had been treated in the same way, we could have been eliminated.” Zhao Wenhao saw the area within a range of 600 miles out of the city was extremely abnormal due to the tactical formations and the wards. Hidden energies were flowing. Killing intents were ambushing in the dark
“How naive.” But in Jiang Chen’s eyes, these complex and changeable tactical formations and wards without any rhythms were extremely clear and easy to understand
When you get the nature of things, it’ll be easy for you to see through them
Jiang Chen had seen through the level and attainments of the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop.
In his previous life spent in the Sacred Zone, it would defend on his mood as to whether he would accept such an apprentice
The Cracking Resistance Formation kept changing, travelling through the area deployed with tactical formations, showing mysteries that average people couldn’t understand
In lay people’s eyes, it was like sweeping trashes. The various lights and false appearances in that absolute zone were all removed. The process had never been interrupted
“No way…” The military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop, eager to have a competition with Jiang Chen, suddenly found he wasn’t a match for the latter at all. They weren’t even on the same level
“Military counselor!” The senior general said anxiously
In his eyes, the military counselor was only using camouflage to stop the enemy, but it didn’t work
Seeing the elite team had been in a very threatening position, the senior general requested to fight
However, the military counselor didn’t respond. He was still petrified
The senior general hurried to shake his shoulders, but the military counselor spit up blood and fell onto the ground like a pile of mud
“Useless thing.” The senior general didn’t expect him to be so fragile, even unable to handle such a small blow. He didn’t care about the military counselor’s order anymore. Raising his arms, he shouted, “Fight!” Out of the city wall, the senior general led the Black Dragon Troop to fight against the elite team and the battle groups led by Zhao Wenhao, who had just arrived
“It shouldn’t be like this. How could a person be so damn good?” Lying on the ground, the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop didn’t look any proud. He looked even older. His desperate look aroused others’ compassion
“Die. All of you, die!” However, pitiful persons must have some hateful aspects. The military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop had lost his mind. Ignoring his or his
men’s safety, he switched on the great killing formation combined by the wards and the tactical formations.
