Ouyang Shuo checked his second talent.
[Ice]: Attacks contain the Ice attribute.
It was a very concise description, less than ten words. Ouyang Shuo thought back to when Song Jia was cultivating the Nine Yin Manual, her inner Qi contained the cold attribute. Both of them had the same effect. The only difference was that Zhang Xuan's talent came with it, so there was no need to activate it. On the other hand, Song Jia's ice required one to activate it using one's internal energy.
The specific effects could only be explored in actual combat.
Ouyang Shuo then looked at the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" that had been cultivated to the sixth level. The special characteristic that had been derived was [Emperor's Way]. The name sounded quite scary, but he didn't know what effect it had.
[Path of the Emperor]: A Dao created by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. It enhances the Heavenly Perception and gives rise to the might of an Emperor.
Another specious description. Ouyang Shuo was about to go crazy. What was Heaven's Perception? What was the might of an emperor? Gaia did not explain a word.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't care about it for now. After cultivating the Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch to the sixth level, his inner force attribute was replaced with the True Essence attribute. The upper limit of the True Essence of the sixth level was 100 points.
Oh well, I have to start all over again!
Ouyang Shuo gave it a try. Right now, he could only revolve it three times a day, and each revolution would only increase his True Essence by a little. In other words, Ouyang Shuo only needed a month to cultivate to the seventh level.
On the surface, it seemed that cultivating the 'Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch' had become easier. Ouyang Shuo did not believe it. With Gaia's character, it must have dug an even bigger pit for him to jump into.
In the battle with the Ironback Beast, Ouyang Shuo discovered his own shortcomings. Among the martial arts he practiced, there were internal energy, spear techniques, and palm techniques. The only thing he lacked was a body lightening technique, which was commonly known as Qinggong.
Unlike the 'Nine Yin Manual', which was about all things, the 'Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine' was a pure Qi cultivation technique, and the 'Yang Family's Spear Manual' was a pure spear technique. Level Eight Fist Scripture did have some footwork, but it was just an extension of certain moves. It was more like a leg technique, and it was not pure. When used, the effect was not good.
When fighting on foot, not practicing Qinggong would be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have been in such a sorry state during the battle that day. If he had the chance in the future, he would have to look for a Qinggong secret manual.
This was a story for another time.
After his cultivation improved, Ouyang Shuo joined the army of wild beasts. He could feel that the Yang Clan's spear technique was at a bottleneck and needed to be tempered in actual combat.
After that, Ouyang Shuo would kill at least one or two desolate beasts every day. As for the inner core, there was no need to even think about it. Such a good thing would never happen again.
Ouyang Shuo's "Savage Beast Taming Art" was useful in front of desolate beasts. Unfortunately, the desolate beasts that appeared were either too weak or too ugly. They were not suitable as mounts.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo would have liked to tame a desolate beast and use it as a mount.
The addition of Ouyang Shuo allowed the clean-up operation to go much smoother, and they advanced at a shocking speed every day. Ouyang Shuo estimated that in another half a month, he would be able to clear out the village that he had chosen.
While Ouyang Shuo was campaigning in the Cliff Province, the Lianzhou Basin, which was thousands of miles away, was experiencing a drastic change.
Since the beginning of winter, various signs indicated that the tribes of the grassland were planning to launch a large-scale war against Shanhai City before the Spring Festival. Even Duanren County's people were mixed among them.
No one knew when it started, but Ba Dao and the Sky Order Tribe had colluded.
Shanhai City's two biggest rivals in the Lianzhou Basin were actually working together. Just the thought of it was a headache. Not to mention the Yan Huang Alliance that had been hiding behind Duanren County.
Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang's promotion to Marquis was a huge blow to the Yan Huang Alliance.
If this trend continued, the Yan Huang Alliance would sooner or later be left far behind by the Shanhai Alliance. This was something that they did not want to see.
Using Duanren County to cause some trouble for Shanhai City, and if they could seize the opportunity to attack Shanhai City, that would be the best outcome. For the Yan Huang Alliance, this was a brilliant move.
The three parties hit it off, and the moment the auction ended, they started plotting how to deal a fatal blow to Shanhai City.
After a month of preparation, the time was ripe.
The first to launch an attack were the tribes of the grassland.
The tribes of the grassland, who had endured for a long time, finally stopped concealing their desire for war and brazenly declared a first-level war. In an instant, tens of thousands of young and strong herdsmen prepared their own warhorses, bows, and rations. They bid farewell to their wives, children, and parents and embarked on their journey, gathering at the military camp from all directions.
The young herdsmen were skilled in archery and horsemanship. They did not need any training to become qualified cavalrymen.
Usually, the herdsmen were divided into small groups according to the areas they grazed. During wartime, these small groups were ready-made armies of ten or a hundred men, forming the cornerstone of the grassland army.
In a short five days, the army was assembled.
With the Sky Order Tribe as the leader, the grassland army had 50000 people, and the Sky Order Tribe alone had mobilized 15000 soldiers. The commander of the Sky Order Tribe's eastern region, Dai Qin, was the commander of the allied army, and Lakshon was the deputy commander.
The last of the three great generals of the Sky Order Tribe, the commander of the personal guards, Bori Tiechina, led an army of 8000 soldiers to guard the northern region of the grassland, to monitor Mulan City and protect the grassland.
Khan Mengke swore an oath at the Blessed Lake, listing the crimes that Shanhai City had committed against the grassland.
"The shameless Shanhai City destroyed the Tianpiao Tribe, tried to frame us, and sowed discord among the tribes of the grassland. They shamelessly attacked the western region, and used the same trick to frame their brother tribes in the western region, causing the grassland to be in chaos for half a year. They brazenly sent troops to destroy the Sky Abundance Tribe. The sun and moon can bear witness to their wild ambitions. Their evil deeds are unforgivable. A debt of blood can only be paid with blood! "Meng Ke said vehemently.
"A debt of blood must be paid with blood! A debt of blood must be paid with blood! "
For a moment, the crowd was stirred up, and their will to fight was overflowing. It was the first time some of the warriors heard of the evil deeds of Shanhai City, and they were filled with righteous indignation. The trace of hesitation they had before was thrown far away.
Meng Ke looked at the army below the stage, and he was filled with satisfaction. It was as if he was ten years younger, and he had returned to those glorious days. A trace of unease and fear flashed in the eyes of the various tribe leaders behind Meng Ke.
Times had changed, and the seven large and medium-sized tribes who had already obtained the right to speak and were strong enough to oppose the Sky Order Tribe would absolutely not tolerate the Sky Order Tribe acting like a tyrant over their heads.
In the face of a great enemy, the various tribe leaders could only temporarily suppress their thoughts and cheer along.
After the oath-taking ceremony ended, the army immediately set off.
The fifty thousand allied army, also known as the one hundred thousand strong army, marched majestically towards Shanhai City.
At the same time, the only city guard regiment of Duanren County brazenly left the city and gathered at the border of the territory, pointing their swords at the Third Division of Shanhai City.
With the strength of the Duanren County City Guard Regiment, they would not be able to stop the Third Division. Ba Dao also knew his own limits, and directly requested for reinforcements from the Yan Huang Alliance.
The Yan Huang Alliance was also straightforward, and arranged for Sha Pojun to be the commander of the vanguard, leading five thousand troops to reinforce Duanren County. The vanguard and the First City Guard Regiment were responsible for delaying the Third Division.
Whether it was Ba Dao or the Yan Huang Alliance, they were all very cunning. Before the Grasslands Alliance Army fought with the Shanhai City army, they would not take the initiative to attack.
The Grasslands Alliance Army was a good weapon.
Shanhai City's defense force, including the Second Division stationed at the Northern Barracks, and the City Guard Regiment stationed within the city, had a total of 27000 people, which was just half of the Grasslands Alliance Army.
The outer city walls of Shanhai City had basically been repaired, and could be put into use. The problem was that the outer city walls on the east and west sides were still empty, and could not stop the Grasslands Alliance Army at all.
This also meant that Shanhai City could not defend itself, and could only fight the Grasslands Alliance Army.
Meng Ke had also considered this when he chose to start the war at this time. He knew that when the outer city walls of Shanhai City were completed, it would be extremely difficult for the Grasslands Alliance Army to take down such a huge city with just the Grasslands Alliance Army.
This was a rare opportunity for them.
The Military Intelligence Department was the first to know that the Grasslands Alliance Army was moving out.
The Military Intelligence Department had long been on guard against the Grasslands Alliance Army. During this period of time, the Military Intelligence Department had not stopped investigating. The various preparations for war had been carried out in an orderly manner since a month ago.
Shanhai City did not have the time to panic yet.
Mu Lanyue immediately contacted Ouyang Shuo through the Alliance Channel. Although Mulan County had withdrawn from the Shanhai Alliance, Mu Lanyue still rejoined the Alliance Channel as a member of Shanhai Territory.
Ouyang Shuo was not surprised when he received the news. The only thing that surprised him was that the Grasslands Alliance Army had formed a tacit understanding with Duanren County. This also taught Ouyang Shuo a lesson: never underestimate your opponent.
When the Military Intelligence Department received the news, Ouyang Shuo had already left Lian Province, so naturally, he did not know.
He asked Mu Lanyue to pass on his orders. All military operations in the Lian Province Basin would be handled by the Chief General Bai Qi and the Military Intelligence Department Chief Du Ruhui. During the war, there was no need for him to ask for instructions. They could make decisions on the spot.
Ouyang Shuo did not forget to remind Mu Lanyue to constantly remind Bai Qi and Du Ruhui that they had to consider the Yan Huang Alliance's ability to teleport into the war.
Bai Qi and Du Ruhui were unfamiliar with teleportation battles. Without him personally overseeing it, Ouyang Shuo had to carefully remind them.
Mu Lanyue's expression became solemn, indicating that she would take the initiative to take on Ouyang Shuo's responsibilities.
The Alliance Channel could not be contacted one-on-one. With this commotion, all the members of the Shanhai Alliance knew about it. When the members received the news, they expressed their concern and expressed that they could send reinforcements at any time.
Ouyang Shuo first expressed his gratitude, reminding them to prepare their military. Apart from providing reinforcements to Shanhai City, they also had to pay attention to the Yan Huang Alliance's tricks.
Ouyang Shuo was not very worried that Shanhai City would be breached. Instead, he was worried that the Yan Huang Alliance would create a diversion. They would attack Shanhai City on the surface, but secretly attack the other territories of the Shanhai Alliance.
In his previous life, Di Chen and the others had done this many times.
Ouyang Shuo's reminder caused the hearts of Bai Hua and the others to tighten. This was especially true for the Siege Lion. He was a thorn in the side of the Yan Huang Alliance and had long since become enemies with Di Chen. (To be continued.)
