After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Yun blushed and immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll go heat it up for you."
Then, with a sway of her slender figure, she went to the other side of the tent.
A while later, Li Chunhou also sent someone to invite Mo Qi, saying that the high platform had been built and the spirit stones Mo Qi needed were ready.
Mo Qi followed the soldier, and Xiao Yun, with nothing else to do, also tagged along to watch the excitement.
Mo Qi found it inconvenient to refuse, so he let her accompany them.
Li Chunhou had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Mo Qi, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, "You're finally here, my young master Mo. I was really afraid the enemy would attack at this time, what would we do?"
Mo Qi said casually, "It's fine. Even if the other side attacks now, we'll still have time."
Li Chunhou nodded vaguely.
Mo Qi stood in the center, patted his storage bag, and four formation flags shot out like lightning. After flashing in the air for a moment, they disappeared into the air, hidden in the four corners.
A team of soldiers had been waiting for a long time, all arranged by Li Chunhou to help Mo Qi place the formation spirit stones.
The soldiers, following Mo Qi's instructions, moved back and forth in an orderly manner, quickly laying the spirit stones in their proper positions.
At this moment, the artifact refining room also delivered the refined Thunderbolt Pills.
Mo Qi then took out all the Nine Heavens Divine Arrows and placed them on the high platform in front. The soldiers then placed all the Thunderbolt Pills into those Nine Heavens Divine Arrows.
The surrounding soldiers whispered to each other, finding it very novel.
"What is this thing? I've never seen it before."
"Is this thing useful? I hope it's not just for show."
"General Li has high hopes, let's hope it doesn't backfire."
Mo Qi then found Li Chunhou again and asked him to arrange for some people to maintain the magic power on the first high platform to operate the Nine Heavens Divine Arrows, and at the same time, to deploy some troops below and to the sides of the high platform to prevent the enemy from destroying these magic artifacts.
Li Chunhou accepted everything and made arrangements according to Mo Qi's instructions.
As fate would have it, after all this work was done, a scout reported that the enemy was attacking.
Officer Wu, who was beside Li Chunhou, immediately panicked and said to Li Chunhou, "General, aren't we forming ranks yet?"
At this time, they would usually pull all their troops to the edge of the cliff, forming neat ranks, layered three layers deep and three layers out, relying on the human wall and the magic treasures in everyone's hands to stop the enemy's invasion.
At the same time, the strength of this single flank was not enough, and they had to notify General Zheng to dispatch other flank troops to be deployed around them for support and reinforcement at any time.
Every battle resulted in countless casualties.
To put it bluntly, they relied on casualties to stop the demon race's invasion.
However, today, there was no one at the edge of the cliff. The two high platforms were a distance from the cliff edge, and most of the people retreated behind the high platforms, with only a small number deployed around the first high platform.
This formation itself was a joke, wasn't it?
If the enemy managed to gain a foothold and charge, it would be like a broken bamboo, unstoppable!
What was wrong with Li Chunhou? How could he believe the words of a mere soldier with no combat experience?
Was he crazy?
In fact, he didn't know that Li Chunhou was also unsure. Even though he had witnessed the power of Mo Qi's defensive system with his own eyes, he still felt it was a bit too abrupt to use against the demon race.
He suddenly felt a bit anxious.
But at this time, it was already too late to deploy troops at the edge of the cliff.
If this side collapsed, they could only rely on strong reinforcements to block them.
He immediately gave orders for the heralds to notify General Zheng and ask him to be ready for reinforcement.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi climbed onto the second high platform himself, and Xiao Yun followed him closely.
Mo Qi looked at her in surprise, "What are you following me up here for?"
Xiao Yun said righteously, "The General ordered me to protect you."
"I don't need protection," Mo Qi said calmly.
"But I have to listen to the General," Xiao Yun said playfully.
Mo Qi was helpless and said softly, "Take good care of yourself."
Xiao Yun was inexplicably moved and softly replied, "I know."
At this moment, the demon army had appeared, layer upon layer, like schools of fish surfacing from underwater. They all emerged from beneath the dark mist, and then their entire forms were revealed.
The vanguard was led by General Chang Yuxia. As soon as they crossed the black mist, fearing a fierce attack from the enemy, they immediately unleashed their magic treasures and techniques with full force towards the cliff edge.
According to past experience, there would be a barrier at the cliff edge.
All their techniques and divine abilities would hit it, causing sparks to fly and light to radiate.
There would also be thunderous sounds!
But today, all their techniques hit nothing. Instead, they created pits in the ground, kicking up sand and stones, and filling the air with smoke.
Thus, Chang Yuxia led the vanguard and landed easily on the open ground at the cliff edge.
This surprised them. Had the human army given up a position so easily?
This was a crucial strategic point. If they abandoned this position, it would become even more difficult to defend all the subsequent positions.
Were they crazy?
Looking up, it was a vast plain, but on the plain, two high platforms stood abruptly. Scattered around the high platforms were some figures, and behind the high platforms, there was a neat and orderly human force.
Chang Yuxia finally understood. It turned out they had moved the decisive battle to the rear.
It seemed they were relying on the high platform to block their army.
Could building a high platform stop our iron hooves?
It was truly wishful thinking!
"Kill!"
Chang Yuxia led his army to charge, and as his figure moved, thousands of magic treasures and divine abilities rained down towards the high platforms.
Thousands of techniques and divine abilities emitted colorful light, dazzling and brilliant. The powerful airflow surged forward, pushing the surrounding air to boil, and the air became scorching hot, almost igniting.
Even those behind the high platforms felt the heatwaves washing over them.
Officer Wu and the others felt a wave of panic. If it weren't for the military orders, they would have fled on the spot.
But they didn't understand. Did General Li mean for them to wait here to die?
At this moment, the sky-covering divine abilities and techniques roared forward, breaking through like a powerful force.
Suddenly, a barrier rose from the plain, which had been empty. The colorful divine abilities and magic treasures hit the barrier, sparks flying, and the rumbling sounds were incessant.
Most of the divine abilities shattered here and gradually dissipated.
However, a few divine abilities were stronger and actually penetrated the barrier, continuing to strike towards the high platforms.
But suddenly, thousands of lightning fires descended from the sky, their light dazzling, and with flashes, they scattered all the remaining divine abilities.
Li Chunhou's tense face showed a hint of a smile, "It seems this formation is still effective."
Chang Yuxia was somewhat surprised. This formation seemed more powerful than the previous barrier, but their arrangement undoubtedly gave their side an opportunity to charge. This was even easier than breaking the previous barrier!
So, he continued to lead his army forward, with three layers above and three layers below, three layers inside and three layers outside, densely packed.
From the perspective of the human army, amidst the smoky and chaotic scene, a wave of strangely shaped figures charged forward.
Some had human heads and beast bodies, some had entirely human bodies but two heads, some had entirely beast bodies, some had wings, some had eight eyes, some had eight arms... the list was endless, each with bared teeth and claws, ferocious and abnormal.
Thousands of techniques and divine abilities continued to strike Mo Qi's formation. As they got closer, more and more techniques and divine abilities broke through and entered the formation.
Still, thousands of lightning strikes descended, filling the world with light that made it impossible to open one's eyes.
In an instant, those techniques and divine abilities were still scattered.
Basically, all the techniques and divine abilities could not reach the high platform.
Chang Yuxia was somewhat angered.
If this continued, it would be a tough battle!
And precisely at this moment, Qiu Ci also appeared with a large army, emerging from the abyss below.
He saw Chang Yuxia's predicament.
Chang Yuxia felt very uncomfortable. With the vast army behind him watching, he couldn't afford to lose.
So, he took out his old family heirloom, the Green Lotus Tree. The tree shook, and thousands of leaves emitted specks of light, densely striking Mo Qi's formation.
The tree roots and vines spread infinitely, fiercely piercing forward.
They easily broke through the barrier and entered the formation.
The techniques of countless soldiers behind them also hitched a ride and followed into the formation.
Thus, the formation was filled with light, the sounds were like thunder, and lightning fires descended everywhere, tearing and penetrating each other.
The sounds of booming explosions were incessant.
