Six Paths of War

Crunchy~

The queue stretched for dozens of miles with no end in sight. Pairs of wheels rolled on the straight road, groaning under the weight.

Carrying tens of thousands of prisoners and countless gold and silver jewels, the bloated army walked slowly on the road back to [Linbo County], like a heavy caterpillar slowly wriggling.

However, it was this marching speed that made Zhao Yinshun sigh with emotion.

"How long does it take to reach the border of Fengguo?"

"There are still more than 800 miles to go, and it will take about ten days."

Tang Hongda was riding a horse half a body behind Ao Baibai and answered respectfully to the young man on the horse.

Rubbing his chin and looking at the staggering local tyrants and evil gentry, Zhao Yinshun let out a long sigh.

Travel eighty miles a day...

In previous generations, the normal marching speed in ancient times was only between 30 and 40 miles a day. If there was drag, it would be even slower.

And yet I can still travel 80 miles a day with such a large group of burdens, which is simply outrageous!

I don’t know if it’s because of the unscientific factor of aura in the air, but the physical fitness of the creatures in this world is obviously better than that of the creatures on the earth, especially their endurance!

I didn't realize it before because the reference was myself, an extraordinary creature.

Now, with an intuitive comparison, the gap between ordinary people in the two worlds is suddenly clear.

These are still the prisoners who are pampered and well-off in daily life, but if they are replaced by a professional army composed of all extraordinary people, traveling one or two hundred miles a day is simply a routine operation.

In addition to extraordinary power, this should also be one of the important reasons why the empire's territory is so outrageous...

Nodding with understanding, Zhao Yinshun looked back behind him, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"They're catching up."

"ah?"

Tang Hongda followed his gaze and looked for a long time before shaking his head helplessly.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I can't see this."

The mysterious light flashed on the lenses, and Zhao Yinshun stared at it for a long time before looking back.

"It seems that some secret method of [Army] has been used. The aura of the entire army has been covered up. It's normal that you can't see it."

If it weren't for Yani's glasses, he wouldn't be able to see that far with [Higher Dimensional Vision] alone. He would probably have to wait for the enemy to touch him before he could notice it.

Hearing this, Tang Hongda's face became solemn.

"It's [Unknowable as Yin]!"

"It's hard to know like Yin?"

"Yes, this is one of the six paths created by the Bingsheng. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the shadows, and as moving as thunder."

"Generally, we will choose one of the paths to practice. After we become a god general and solidify our natal abilities, we will start to practice other paths as well."

"However, compared to the first four common paths, the latter two paths are relatively rare. The royal family generally does not grant them easily, and even many gods and generals do not."

"Oh? Are the two paths at the back very strong?"

After learning such secrets about military art, Zhao Yinshun's eyes lit up.

"There is no distinction between the strengths and weaknesses of the six paths. They only have different emphases. However, the abilities of the last two paths are more focused on the strategic level. For example, [Unknown as Yin], it can completely control the aura of the entire army.

Cover up and confuse all prophecies, divination, causal regression and other powers that point to them."

After a pause, Tang Hongda sighed with longing.

"It is said that in the hands of the ninth-level soldier saint, even the existence information of the army can be erased. Tens of millions of troops are everywhere, but they are everywhere, like darkness surrounding the enemy. It is simply unimaginable."

Battlefield information is blocked!

A word jumped out of his mind instantly. Zhao Yinshun rubbed his chin with interest, his eyes shining with excitement.

This secret method is a bit interesting. If you have a seventh-level general who specializes in this, and cooperate with high-mobility troops to attack long distances, your defense line will be so interspersed that you won't even know where the enemy is. It's simply unpredictable.

I'm afraid that Yani might not be able to discover the seventh-level divine ability from a distance even if she comes in person, and by the time you discover it, it will be too late.

People can run away, but cities or strategic strongholds cannot run away!

The moving speed of a group is determined by the slowest individual among its members!

Just like you can easily break out of an encirclement at any time, but you have to leave behind all your troops, prisoners, food, grass and property...

No wonder the royal family refused to grant this path easily...

If the generals on this path rebelled, they would have to scratch their heads even if they had a hundred times the suppression force.

Find an area with complex terrain to fight guerrillas with you. If I can't kill you, I'll annoy you to death.

With ups and downs in his heart, Zhao Yinshun suddenly remembered the various divine operations on the Long March in his previous life. From the perspective of the captain of the transportation team, isn't it difficult to know?

"By the way, what's the path for that thunderous earthquake?"

Turning to look at Tang Hongda, the boy in white asked curiously.

"[Mobile Like Thunder] is the most mysterious. I don't know much about it. I only know that it is the opposite of [Unknown Like Yin]. It can enlarge the coverage area of ​​the blood evil, forming a blocked area that stretches for thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, transforming the heaven and earth.

It is a cage that locks a country in the palm of your hand."

"Oh, it's amazing. It must have been this kind of power that trapped Xiang Yu to death back then."

Nodding with relish, Zhao Yinshun continued to ask.

"General Tang, what path do you follow in practice?"

"I would like to report to you, the one who will finally practice cultivation is [Qixu Rulin]."

"Hmm... I can probably imagine the other three paths. They should focus on speed, attack, and defense. It's hard for you [Qi Xu Rulin] to guess just by looking at the literal meaning."

"Indeed, as your Majesty expected, [It's as fast as the wind] can greatly speed up the marching speed, [It's like fire] can increase the destructive power of the blood evil, [It's as motionless as a mountain] can comprehensively strengthen the defense of the army, and [It's as fast as the forest]

] is to increase the growth rate of the blood evil."

"Blood evil growth? Soldier training expertise?"

"Not only daily training, but also my soldiers can absorb more blood evil in every battle and advance quickly!"

"Oh?! In the later stage, although the first path is not as easy to use as other paths, it is better in all aspects. Later, you can use basic attributes to smooth out the gaps in other aspects!"

His eyes lit up, Zhao Yinshun hit his palm hard and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, there is no strong or weak distinction between the six paths of the military path. They just have different emphases. However, with my talent when I awakened, my army has few rivals among my peers."

Tang Hongda clasped his fists and smiled, his humility mixed with unconcealable pride.

Thinking of his unique sexual talents, Zhao Yinshun looked Tang Hongda up and down with great interest.

"What talent have you awakened?"

"I call it [Potential Stimulation]. Through the resonance of the blood evil link, a person's potential can be fully developed in a very short period of time. It is especially useful before the soldier first awakens and after each advancement. It can greatly shorten the period of time."

The time it takes to grow and enter its prime.”

Speaking of this, Tang Hongda smiled shyly.

"This is also the reason why I chose the [Qixu Rulin] path. Combining talent and path, I can train a qualified army in a short period of time and lead them to grow into a strong army!"

With a slight movement in his eyes, Zhao Yinshun finally understood why the senior sister chose Tang Hongda to take charge of the private army.

This guy is really worth training!

At the same time, he finally understood why first-order soldiers, which normally require several months or even half a year of training to awaken, were able to produce results one after another after being placed in Tang Hongda's hands for more than a month.

Before, I only knew that Tang Hongda was good at training, but I didn't know why he was so good. Now it seems that this guy is a complete catalyst.

In a daze, Zhao Yinshun remembered the time before he woke up.

At that time, he could gain a few attributes every time he broke through a level of bottleneck, but without the ruthless training machine of [Higher Dimensional Vision], [Infinite Focus], and [Multiple Self], it would take him several days to get just a few attributes.

It can be digested and absorbed, and finally transformed into real fighting power.

To break through the big bottleneck, or even to upgrade a large number of attributes, a normal extraordinary person may need several months, or even several years of hard work to digest.

This is why there will be a period of rapid growth after every breakthrough or advancement, because that is the process in which the potential accumulated in the body is gradually developed!

But with the help of Tang Hongda, a huge amount of time can be saved in the later stages, giving people more opportunities to hit higher levels!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yinshun couldn't help but sigh softly with regret.

It's a pity that this talent resonates through the blood evil link, which means that only soldiers under Tang Hongda's banner can enjoy it, and cannot be extended to other classes.

However, seeing Zhao Yinshun sighing, Tang Hongda thought he was dissatisfied with his "rookie talent", and he made up for it anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the military path is also hierarchical. I have now developed the high-level ability of [Qi Xu Rulin], which can strengthen the fine control of the army. After entering the sixth level, I also developed the ability to increase the speed of injury healing..."

Looking at Tang Hongda who was talking endlessly, Zhao Yinshun blinked his eyes in shock.

You actually have so many unique skills?

"When I am promoted to a divine general in the future and gather together the three defense paths of [Qi Xu Ru Lin], [Unmoving as a Mountain], and [Moving as Thunderous], I will even have the confidence to try to attack the eighth level!"
