red, and the things before him changed. He gained a second perspective beyond his own.He saw the entire vast cavern, the face of the Xu Guonfu cultivator, the specific arrangement of the entire format...Random Recommendation:
The nine Fire Dragons guarding the central city have already proven themselves under the powerful assault of the Moon Shooting Crossbow.
But before the "Purple Extremity Conquest Dragon" of the Great Qi Empire, it was almost as fragile as paper, unable to withstand a single blow!
>
This is obviously something unexpected and hard to accept.
The grand city walls of Tongyang City rumbled with the commotion. Xia Guo's officials and generals were in an uproar, some leaping to their feet, ready to defend the city personally, while others scrambled to adjust military formations, hoping to repel the invaders with force.
And Minister Liu Xiyi, having already taken out his Seal of State, stamped it into the air and gritted his teeth: “Activate the National Protective Formation!”
The Grand Master, Xi Mengfu, did not speak. However, with a flip of his palm, he also pressed out the Grand Master's order.

The seal of the State Chancellor pressed down upon the mountains and rivers, making them resemble a magnificent tapestry. When the imperial advisor ordered the seal to be removed, there was an endless stream of horses and carriages like flowing water.
Thus, the national defense formation was opened!

The entire Central City was enveloped by a radiance unlike any other.

That was a vibrant green, and it couldn't be simply described as "green".
It has a feeling of purest simplicity, yet embraces the greatest power.

Within the azure radiance, myriad things transformed, yet all returned to unity. At times, it was commoners walking by, at times, princes and generals commanding armies. Sometimes, majestic mountains rose high, while at other times, mighty rivers surged forward. Mighty legions displayed their grandeur, and formidable fortresses stood watch.
The great Xia Dynasty spanned a thousand years, encompassing vast mountains and rivers, with billions of people living within its borders.
This radiance doesn't seem harsh, nor is it scorching.

But when it enveloped Tongyang City with a speed that seemed both languid and swift, it had already changed the very face of this place.
That dilapidated Nine Dragons' Flaming Array, like the "Purple Extreme Dragon's Sign" of a broken mud pellet, upon seeing this radiance, could not advance another inch.
It just hovered above Tongyang City, unable to fall.
Its serpentine body stretched for thousands of miles, reaching all the way to Linzi. Its dragon head was majestic and awe-inspiring, roaring with the power of swallowing the sun and moon... but it had been firmly held back.
Any national defense line is one of the most fundamental forces of a country. Broadly speaking, it concerns the national fortune.
This radiant glow of humanitarianism shines not only in Tong'an City but also encompasses the entire Xiangyou Prefecture!
...But that's not all, it extends beyond Xiangyou Mansion.
If someone were in the heavens, and able to see far, they would see—
The entire Xia territory stretched for thousands of miles.

Except for Fengjie, every prefecture and even the summer capital's noble city, each place was bathed in a brilliant azure light, reflecting off one another across great distances, all imbued with the same radiant glow!

Before the menacing "Purple Extreme Heavenly Dragon" unleashed its might in Qi, chaos erupted on the tower of Tongyang City. Everyone tried to resist this unparalleled power in their own way until Liu Xiyi and Xi Mengfu joined forces to activate the country-protecting grand formation.
And after the clamor... was a long silence!
The collapse of the Nine Dragons Fire Array signifies that the Xia Kingdom's scholars and warriors, who had labored tirelessly for a year and a half to repair the Tongyang City defense line, were... officially breached!
Si Jiao, Liu Xiyi, Xi Mengfu, Long Jiao, Tai Xu... These prominent figures of the Xia Kingdom, all gathered in Tongyang City. It is a reflection of such high expectations.
But when the "Zijingzhizhenglong" appeared, everything turned to ashes.

The hope of stemming the enemy advance outside the Northeast defense line has been dashed.
This hidden weapon, which should have been used against powerful rivals like the Jing Kingdom, was actually used in the war against Xia. Cao Jie even used it to break through a mere Nine Dragons Fire Formation—
This forced the Xia Kingdom to activate its national protective formation early!

The opening of the Grand Protective Formation signifies that this Qi Xia national war has entered a completely new stage.
Using the vast territory of Daxia as a foundation, supported by national strength, and powered by well-trained cultivators and massive amounts of primordial stones... This should only be used as a last resort in a life-or-death situation.
In other words, when the National Guardian Formation is fully operational, it usually means that this country has reached a critical moment of life or death!
According to the original plan of Xia Country's high-level officials, how long was this period supposed to be
A year Eight months Half a year
Cao Jie gave them the answers.
In eight days, the troops marched rapidly, bringing millions of soldiers to Xia. In one day, they defeated the Jianfeng Mountain army, and in three days, they occupied all of Fengjie Prefecture. Less than a day later, they broke through the Jiulong Lìhuǒ formation and forced out the Summer Kingdom's national protective formation!
It's almost as if one would think that leading the campaign against Xia was not someone else, but that incredibly formidable general, Chong Xuan Chu Liang.
The boasted butcher who vowed to destroy Xia in three months, wasn't he unable to secure the head coach position
How could Cao Jie, known for his steadiness, have turned the war into such a mess in less than half a month!
The entire Xia Kingdom was enveloped in the brilliance of the Protecting Country Grand Formation. Within this terrifying formation, truly connected to the nation's power, every invader would be crushed by the might of the entire country! Every warrior who fought for the nation would receive the blessings of the national power.
This land, with its thousand years of history and glory, the beliefs of countless citizens, all manifest here in immeasurable power. Condense history into brilliance. Grasp the past to gain strength!
In Jiang Wang's perception, this feeling was very much like his experience when he stormed the enemy's Heavenly Palace, or when facing Tai Yin's negative predicament divine ability, being rejected by the entire environment.
The difference lies in that when facing Tai Yin's negative predicament divine ability, he could use divine arts to counter it, or leave the range of environmental influence, or directly blast the divine ability releaser. However, when facing the national protective formation that enveloped the entire Xia Kingdom territory, he could only passively endure it without any way to escape.
Of course, because the land was vast and he was in the midst of the Qiu Sha Army's ranks, the pressure he endured wasn't extremely strong. It would only affect about half of his combat strength.
But on the battlefield, even a tiny loss of strength can decide life or death.
To enlarge this to the entire million strong army, it would undoubtedly be terrifying to the extreme!
To illustrate this most intuitively, if the Zhen Guo Army were to clash with the Zhu Feng Army again in this state, the casualties would be even more severe, and perhaps the Zhu Feng Army would suffer greater losses.
Such a national defense force, as the "Great Wall of Defense," undoubtedly plays a crucial role in reversing the tide.
Standing beside Jiang Wang, Chong Xuan naturally also felt this pressure.
But instead of being alarmed, he was delighted. He clenched his right fist and slammed it into his palm with force, causing the fat on his body to ripple with excitement: "Opportunity has arrived!"

What opportunity
>
Before Jiang Wang could even ask his question, the fat man had already turned around, taking out a battle flag and brandishing it in the air: "Brothers of the Victorious Camp, gather under this banner!"
The banner unfolded, revealing a circle of swirling patterns. It was embroidered with a depiction of a dragon and tiger fighting, quite meticulously done, showcasing the artisan's skill.
The center of the circular pattern is also embroidered with large characters, which are the flag's designation.
It's just other banners, either a single "Cao" character, no need for anything else attached, already brimming with awe-inspiring prestige.
Either just the two characters "following the wind," simply highlighting the honor of a strong army.
This battle flag, however, bore four large characters embroidered upon it, stacked atop one another like layers of fat piled together in a heap. They read:
Victory is in sight!
Among them, the characters "victory" and "hope" were particularly highlighted with color, one red and one purple.
It's really flashy... and bloated.
I don't know when the military supplies officer finished making it!
Jiang Wang turned her head away, pretending she hadn't seen it.
And in his distant gaze,
That majestic purple Ziji Zhending Dragon was still locked in a standoff with Tongyang City, like it was biting onto an unbreakable pearl!
The might of the State of Daiqi, arriving after a journey spanning thousands of miles, was halted by the formidable defensive array of the State of Daxia.
Immense power, frantic consumption.
Every breath's power of dissipation, is enough to move mountains and fill rivers!
All cultivators below will be reduced to ashes in an instant if they are touched by this, with no chance of survival whatsoever.
Its power and might have reached this extreme.
At the same time, Tai Xu, the head of the Tai clan, with disheveled hair sticking out from a corner of the city wall, suddenly shouted: "Get up!"
Under the radiance of Xia Guo's Protective Formation, the outskirts of Tongyang City were once again ablaze with flames!
In just a short moment, Tai Xu gathered the cultivators from his sect and swiftly completed the repair of the formation. The Nine Dragons Fire Array, empowered by the vast might of the National Protection Grand Formation, revived!
With a command from the radiant one, the nine fiery dragons rose again from the flames, charging at the Zi Ji's banner dragon in a frenzy of madness.
Nine blazing fire dragons, stretched out could be dozens of miles long, but compared to the Purple Extremity Conquest Dragon spanning tens of thousands of miles, they were as small as earthworms.
But under the full force resistance of the Great Xia's Guardian Array, the Purple Extremity Conquest Dragon was completely unable to counterattack. It could only be bitten by the nine fire dragons, piece after piece, losing large chunks of its national power.
The Xia soldiers in Tong'an City couldn't help but cheer!

While standing proudly behind the ironclad ramparts, Cao Jie, holding aloft the Purple Microcosm of Heaven's Emperor Banner, unfurled its surface with a flourish, weaving patterns across its expanse before planting it firmly upon the battlefield! (The Purple Microcosm of Heaven's Emperor Banner, also known as the Weaving Patterns Banner)
It was at this meal that the dragon's roar echoed through the nine heavens. The majestic Purple Extremity Dragon, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, exploded in a shower of purple starlight, raining down upon the land.
The vast might of the Great Qi Empire sprawls across this ten thousand mile journey.

Imbue each Qì soldier with power, allowing them to resist the Xia nation's protective grand formation.
Many years later, the land that Daqi State had scattered could naturally integrate into Qi State's environment and blend in with its atmosphere.
This is what is meant by subtle influence, a shift in national power!
As a member who was drenched in the rain of national fortunes, Jiang Wang clearly felt his body suddenly become light and more agile! The invisible oppression of this world was broken. Perhaps "offsetting" would be a more accurate description.
With the Ziji's Dragon Strike, he shattered the Nine Dragons Fire Formation, forcing Xia Guo's national protective formation to appear. This pushed the war into a new phase. With a flip of his hand, he transformed the country's power into a star shower, negating the pressure of Qi army's formations within Xia Guo's borders.
Everything the opponent did seemed to be within Cao Jie's grasp.

The more he controls war, the more terrifying it becomes!
Because the submerged iceberg, potential dangers lurking beneath the surface, has gradually revealed its form, allowing people to see it.
According to Cao Jie's prior orders, at this time, Chen Zeqing's 100,000 army of Spring Death was relentlessly pressing forward on the Jiangyin plain. The surging tide of soldiers finally arrived at the gates of Tongyang City.
However, instead of attacking the city, they simply formed a defensive formation on the spot, clearly preparing to counter any assault from the large army within Zhongyang City.
And the army led by Chen Fu, a Doctor of the Right Ministry, was divided into three divisions of 10,000 soldiers each, pouring onto the Jiangyin Plain. They set up camp and cleaned the battlefield—the main Qi force had advanced too quickly, and the auxiliary troops were still outside Xia territory, so the county troops had to combine with them for auxiliary purposes.
>
Setting up camp, obviously represents preparations for a protracted resistance under Tongyang City.
To clean the battlefield is, undoubtedly, the prerogative of the victor.
Just like the people of Xia in Tong'an City, they could only gaze upon it from afar.
Generally, the power to clean up a battlefield means the acquisition and recovery of equipment.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
> It means our wounded have a chance to be treated, while the enemy's wounded will only meet their final blow.
But the Qi army did not kill the wounded Xia soldiers on the battlefield. Instead, they disarmed them and took them back to camp for treatment — perhaps this was a more terrifying choice for the Xia high officials in Central City.
The 300,000 coalition army of Eastern countries led by Xie Huai'an, the Grand Master in Charge of Morning Court Meetings, has also followed military orders and donned their armor to prepare for battle.
At this very moment, the stars twinkled in the sky, and Ruan Qiu appeared beside Cao Jie. Still adorned with her obsidian jade hairpin, her Star Chart robe was just as elegant.
The Great Xia Martial King, Yu Jiao, who had subdued the country with his martial prowess, also returned to the city wall of Tongyang City.
This epic battle of mutual restraint ended in a stalemate, with neither side clearly victorious.
Cao Jie, on his chariot at the Rong Chong Tower, gazed across at Si Jiao from afar. Despite their distance, he gave a very decisive command: "Have Xie Huai's troops immediately attack in the direction of Lin Wu, Hui Ming, and Feng Li. All military actions are to be decided autonomously; I only want results!"
He then ordered, "Chen Fu's troops shall be assembled. Excluding those responsible for cleaning the battlefield, all main forces will concentrate and attack towards Youping, Wuxing, and Yudi in one hour! All military actions are at your discretion. I only care about the results! Don't say that this general doesn't give them opportunities to make achievements. Opportunities will be given, now it depends on them to seize them!"
Then, he decreed: “Order Li Zhengyan to withdraw the army from the eastern bank of Lianjiang and set up camp for rest!”

At a glance, he saw that within the ranks of the Qiu Sha army, someone was raising a flag to gather troops.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, a slight smile crept onto my face as I continued, "Focus on the Xuan Chu Liang troops. Split them into two detachments of 10,000 each, one to attack Linwu and the other to head to Youping. They are to participate in the siege. Military decisions are theirs to make! The remaining main force will remain here, camp in place, and await orders!"
Then, he took one last look at the city gate of Tongyang.

The sky had cleared after night and the haze, now it was covered in the glow of sunset, with a different kind of charm.
"I'll leave the cleanup to Chen Zeqing, he knows what to do."
As he spoke, Cao Jie had already returned to his carriage.
With the cultivation of living beings in the present world, he stirred up the national fortunes of the State of Qi, maneuvering the Purple Extreme War Dragon. Even Cao Jie himself couldn't help but feel some fatigue.
The Xia Guo's national protection grand formation has been opened, and the next war may be very long... Half a month of effort, mobilizing millions of troops, pushing the battle to this stage. At this time, all he wanted was to have a good sleep!
The flag officers galloped swiftly, relaying the commander-in-chief's orders to every corner.
The sound of thunderous war drums echoed, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers swiftly dispersed.
Cao Jie's strategic intention was very clear. Your Xia Kingdom's national protective formation consumed endless resources, connecting all parts of the country across thousands of miles. Then our Qi army will launch a full-scale attack into Xia territory.
Make Xia Guo a land of constant warfare, engulfed in flames!
Of the twenty remaining prefectures of Xia Country, hundreds of large cities, each one captured weakens the nation's protective formation by a fraction. For every prefecture lost, the might of Xia Country diminishes by half.

This is also a great teacher.
This forced the people of Xia to enter a state of full-scale defense, and also consumed the most power of the Xia Nation's protective grand formation.

But the three main armies, Chun-si, Zhuifeng, and Qiusheng, were kept in Tongyang City, on this main battlefront.
