 Chapter 3149: The Hardest Part Isn't Doing the Task, But Thinking

Knowing what to do, Lin Moyu no longer cared where exactly the Divine Rune Army was.

This was no longer important. What was important was how to eliminate the encircling Bloody Legion.

The Bloody Legion faced this time numbered about 200,000.

Most were two-winged rat generals, fifth-level Dao Venerable, about half of them.

A small portion were four-winged rat generals, sixth-level Dao Venerable, about 90,000.

The remaining 10,000 were six-winged rat generals, seventh-level Dao Venerable.

In the Origin Continent, powerful seventh-level Dao Venerables were just slightly stronger soldiers on the prehistoric battlefield.

But thinking of the Outer Gods, even their weakest divine pets were beyond seventh-level Dao Venerable. It seemed the Bloody Legion wasn't much in comparison.

Under multiple enhancements, the ten billion Dragon Cavalry corps reached the limit of fifth-level Dao Venerable in combat power.

Under the legion commanders' command, they cooperated with each other and could revive repeatedly, making them very difficult to truly kill.

This kind of army was the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.

Even with slightly lower combat power, they could wear down the enemy, truly a nightmare-level existence.

The Skeleton Kings' combat power reached the limit of sixth-level Dao Venerable. There were also 500 battle beasts that had just become revived beings, their combat power also greatly increased.

They were seventh-level Dao Venerable when alive. After becoming revived beings, they were stronger than when alive.

Giant Sword Dao Venerable and Zhao Dongsheng, once Lin Moyu's top fighters, now had combat power not as strong as the battle beasts, but they had intelligence, incomparable to ordinary battle beasts.

Lin Moyu handed the battle beasts to these two to command, making the best use of everything.

Flame North was naturally Lin Moyu's strongest fighter at present. With top eighth-level Dao Venerable combat power, as long as used properly, he was enough to dominate this battle.

Buddhist Lich and Fate Lich cooperated with each other, their combat power also reaching seventh-level Dao Venerable. They could attack enemies through the Fate Dao.

Their effect in group battles was average, but in one-on-one fights, they were stronger than battle beasts.

Five Elements Sword Demon was a good all-around fighter. The Five Elements Sword Sea was a powerful weapon, and it had combat power approaching eighth-level Dao Venerable. Its role on the battlefield was not much inferior to Flame North.

From Lin Moyu summoning them to the entire army mobilizing took only five minutes.

The undead army's greatest advantage was revealed at this moment. They didn't need to form up at all. When the undead army appeared, it meant they were already formed up and could enter battle at any time.

Most of the time was spent on Lin Moyu reviving battle beasts.

With an absolute numerical advantage, the undead army marched imposingly towards the Bloody Legion.

While the Bloody Legion was still surrounding from all directions, the Dragon Cavalry corps had already charged out from the center of the encirclement.

At this time, the Bloody Legion hadn't completed their encirclement. The Dragon Cavalry corps also divided into multiple routes, quickly clashing with various Bloody Legion forces.

The great battle erupted with a boom. There was no sound in the secret realm, even the battle's aftershocks were suppressed, but Lin Moyu could clearly know the battle's outcome.

He didn't participate in this great battle.

He needed to maintain the [Strengthen Troops] state for a long time, so he couldn't take action himself.

If he took action, he would have to use a second Origin-level technique, which would make his soul power consumption exceed replenishment.

After all, he wasn't facing real living beings and couldn't get replenishment during battle.

From the moment the great battle erupted, Lin Moyu already knew he would definitely win, and the battle wouldn't last long.

Even some mutated rat generals in the Bloody Legion couldn't change the overall situation.

Flame North and Five Elements Sword Demon were enough to kill these mutated rat generals.

Just as Lin Moyu thought, the Dragon Cavalry corps quickly gained the upper hand. Large numbers of the Bloody Legion were killed, their numbers rapidly decreasing.

Without needing any tactics, just direct overwhelming force, absolute strength nullified all variables in the war.

Before the undead army, war became devoid of any sense of art.

But from another perspective, this kind of war was also an art.

The art of the big fist!

Lin Moyu watched for a while then stopped looking, slowly descending.

The mountain below was still intact. This battle hadn't started yet, the mountain hadn't been flattened, and the general's grave wouldn't appear.

Now Lin Moyu needed to tell that general that his unwillingness could be eliminated.

He took out his general's seal and pointed it at the mountain.

As he approached the mountain, the seal hovered in mid-air, emitting a faint light.

The seal resonated with the formation in the mountain. The entire mountain rumbled and shook.

Numerous divine runes appeared on the mountain's surface. A formation woven from divine runes was revealed.

Then, large numbers of Divine Rune soldiers flew out from the formation, quickly forming into square formations, on high alert.

Finally, that fifth-grade general flew out. His appearance was identical to what Lin Moyu had seen in the eighth mural.

Lin Moyu could even feel the powerful obsession on him, and his deep unwillingness.

This aura had already connected with heaven and earth, easily sensed.

Among the generals Lin Moyu had seen, only he had such a powerful obsession.

Lin Moyu was very curious what exactly had happened back then to cause him to have such a powerful obsession.

After looking at Lin Moyu's general seal, the fifth-grade general flew alone to Lin Moyu's front.

He stopped about ten meters from Lin Moyu, examining Lin Moyu, as if further confirming Lin Moyu's identity.

Then, he looked around.

His gaze seemed to see far away, seeing those great battles.

He drew his battle blade, pointing to the sky, as if issuing some military order.

From the square formation, ten Divine Rune soldiers immediately flew out, flying in various directions.

Lin Moyu knew he was sending subordinates to scout.

The entire process was silent, without a single sound.

A moment later, those ten Divine Rune soldiers returned, bringing back information from the front.

At this time, the battle at the front was nearing its end. The Bloody Legion had been almost completely killed.

Flame North was battling a Bloody rat monster that could manipulate flames, identical to the one in the grave passage, just missing a chain.

It was no match for Flame North. Being slain was just a matter of time.

Lin Moyu remembered that in the mural, this fire rat monster had once rained down flames from the sky, burning through the Divine Rune Army's battle formation, killing at least thousands of Divine Rune soldiers.

After receiving intelligence from the front line, the fifth-grade general looked at Lin Moyu again.

Although his gaze was hidden behind his armor, Lin Moyu could feel his gaze was somewhat complex.

Lin Moyu gave him a military salute. This salute contained multiple meanings, telling him that the Bloody Legion had been eliminated, his Divine Rune Army was safe, and this battle had been won.

The task emphasized results. As long as the result was victory, it was fine. The process wasn't important.

Lin Moyu believed the other party could understand his meaning.

Indeed, after the salute, the obsession on the other party rapidly decreased.

Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief. The task was considered completed.

Actually, in the ancient battlefield tasks, the hardest part wasn't completing them, but figuring out their true purpose.

A lot of information needed to be pondered and explored by oneself.

Fortunately, this was his strong point. No wonder beast race people who weren't good at thinking found it difficult to even join the Divine Rune Army.

Beast races indeed weren't good at thinking.

The fifth-grade general raised his battle blade again, pointing at Lin Moyu's seal.

The seal began to slowly rotate, then grew slightly larger.

The 'seven' on it changed to 'six'.

Lin Moyu received an extra reward, becoming a sixth-grade general.

Then he pointed his battle blade at the mountain again, slashing out.

The mountain was cut off with a rumbling sound, revealing a large flat area, identical to the flat area where the grave had been before.
