27: Chapter 27 Immortal Martial Meat Grinder Array

On the third day after signing the logistics supply contract, the first batch of commissioned equipment was delivered to the school's Advanced quiet meditation room.

Wang Pingan stood in front of the teleportation Formation, watching boxes of weapons and shields fall from the Formation light.

This batch of equipment was not considered high-grade; all of them were F-grade standard Spiritual Artifacts.

But the quantity was more than enough.

Three thousand crimson flame sabers.

Three thousand Black Iron Shields.

Among them, the crimson flame sabers used the iron ore provided by Zhao Yang as the main material, with Artifact Refiners adding a small amount of fire-patterned sand during production.

The blade bodies were thick and heavy, engraved with basic crimson flame runes on the edges, which could emit a brief flash of fiery light after being infused with Spiritual Qi.

The Black Iron Shield was more suitable for the Martial Dao Citizens to use, featuring a thickened shield face and embedded rune slots on the edges to withstand the impact of Qi and blood.

The individual pieces of this batch of equipment were not expensive, but they were extremely suitable for large-scale deployment.

What Wang Pingan wanted was not a few elites holding gorgeous weapons, but two thousand, three thousand, or five thousand people changing equipment simultaneously.

Only with established units could there be legion combat power.

After counting the quantity, he stored all the equipment into the Divine Kingdom's deployment permissions.

Afterward, he closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the Divine Kingdom.

The new Divine Kingdom of two hundred and fifty square kilometers was completely different from before.

On the eastern Spirit Mist Plains, large tracts of spiritual fields were neatly laid out, and the breathing cultivation grounds were built into circular areas.

Under the leadership of Wang Mu, the Cultivation Citizens engaged in breathing cultivation, practiced Sword Qi, and rehearsed Formations in batches every day.

The northwest red clay plains had already turned into a martial arts camp.

After the Mysterious Blood Pool expanded, dozens of Body Tempering pools were built around it, and the blood-jade ley line continuously provided the power of Qi and blood.

Wang Shan moved the Shield Armor Battalion, the blade-shield battalion, and the reserve battalion all here, and the sounds of training continued day and night.

The Northern Plains were completely transformed into a legion martial arts practice ground.

There were no residential houses, no spiritual fields, and no warehouses there, only a training area wide enough to accommodate the charge of thousands of people.

The first batch of fishing and hunting citizens also appeared on the southern coast.

The prototype of the miniature ocean made the Divine Kingdom more humid, and the environments of the spiritual fields and woodlands were more stable than before.

The population continued to grow.

The Divine Kingdom had already broken through the ten-thousand upper limit and was marching toward the thirty-thousand tier.

Wang Pingan brought up the panel.

[Divine Kingdom Population: 16,843.] (Most are infants, having continuously used gestation-type cards.)

[Body Refining Realm Citizens: 5,120.]

[Body Forging Realm Citizens: 5,437.]

[Sixth Layer of Body Refining: 396.]

[Sixth Layer of Body Forging: 421.]

[Heavy Immortal-Martial Legion: 2,000 people.]

[Reserve Combat Citizens: 4,800 people.]

Seeing this set of data, Wang Pingan felt very steady in his heart.

After the spatial expansion, the population and the number of practitioners skyrocketed once again.

The advantages brought by the Master of Time were also fully manifested during these thirty-two years.

For others, a few days in the outside world equated to only a few years in the Divine Kingdom.

Here with him, a few days in the outside world allowed the interior of the Divine Kingdom to complete the growth of a generation.

More importantly, the effect of A-Grade Comprehension finally showed even greater value during long-term training.

Wang Mu and Wang Shan did not blindly copy the Army-Breaking Sword Formation.

Over thirty-two years, they continuously deduced, tried and erred, and modified it.

The Army-Breaking Sword Formation was originally a legion-style sword Formation, leaning toward charging Formations with Spiritual Qi and sword momentum.

The Savage Bull Body-Forging Fist was more suitable for Martial Dao Citizens to temper their Qi and blood, and the derived Savage Bull Combined Attack Formation focused on shield walls and collisions.

Both had their own strengths and weaknesses.

The Army-Breaking Sword Formation had strong sharpness, but insufficient pressure-bearing capacity in the front row.

The Savage Bull Combined Attack Formation had stable defense, but its lethality was not concentrated enough.

Wang Mu and Wang Shan spent decades constantly dismantling the two systems.

Wang Mu separated the Spiritual Qi nodes in the Army-Breaking Sword Formation, modifying them into mobile nodes that could move along with the shield wall.

Wang Shan simplified the Qi and blood collision technique in the Savage Bull Combined Attack Formation, allowing ordinary Martial Dao Citizens to master it quickly.

The two men also mixed and matched the Cultivation Citizens and Martial Dao Citizens for joint drills.

Initially, the failure was miserable.

The Spiritual Qi nodes could not keep up with the shield wall; the moment the blade-shield battalion charged, the Sword Qi in the rear would break.

When the Qi and blood of the Martial Dao Citizens erupted too fiercely, it would also scatter the positioning of the Cultivation Citizens.

After several drills, quite a few citizens suffered mental trauma, and the training ground was also hacked into pockmarked pits by blade lights.

Wang Shan had a hasty temper, and once almost smashed a shield to pieces.

Wang Mu, on the other hand, went into seclusion for three consecutive months to re-deduce the node movement method.

Over the thirty-two years, the two had argued, quarreled, and overthrown more than a dozen versions of Formations.

But A-Grade Comprehension gave them a higher success rate.

Every failure allowed them to grasp a bit of the key.

Every modification made the Formation smoother than before.

In the end, the new grand array was formed.

When Wang Pingan descended upon the Northern martial arts practice ground, the two thousand heavy-armored legion members were already arrayed and waiting.

Wang Shan stood at the very front, clad in heavy armor, holding a rune heavy shield, with a long saber hanging behind his back.

Wang Mu stood at the center army position, holding a long sword, with rows of Cultivation Citizens behind him.

Unlike the past, this legion was no longer purely divided into the Shield Armor Battalion and the Sword Qi Battalion.

The front row consisted of martial dao blade-shield citizens.

The middle row consisted of cultivation blade-Formation citizens.

The two wings were mobile assault squads.

The rear was the reserve reinforcement squad.

Everyone wore heavy armor, their Auras connected into one piece, and the Formation was thicker and fiercer than before.

Wang Shan raised his head and knelt on one knee, his voice robust and powerful.

"Divine Lord, Wang Shan and Wang Mu have already fused the Army-Breaking Sword Formation and the Savage Bull Combined Attack Formation. Please inspect them, Divine Lord!"

Wang Mu also knelt flat following suit, his voice carrying an unsuppressable excitement.

"This array integrates offense and defense; it can charge Formations, slaughter, and resist long-range Spells. Please bestow a name upon it, Divine Lord."

Wang Pingan looked at the two-thousand-person array below, his eyes lighting up.

He had not expected that Wang Mu and Wang Shan would actually reach this step.

This was no longer a simple improvement.

This was the first true integration made by the citizens of the Divine Kingdom towards the Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation route under the blessing of A-Grade Comprehension.

Wang Pingan did not bestow a name immediately, but instead descended an oracle: "Demonstrate it for this deity to see."

Wang Shan abruptly stood up, raised his shield, and shouted sternly.

"All troops, listen to the order, raise the array!"

The two thousand heavy-armored citizens moved simultaneously.

The blade-shield citizens in the front row raised their shields and stepped forward, infusing Qi and blood into the Black Iron Shields as the runes on the shield faces lit up one by one.

The Cultivation Citizens in the middle row urged the crimson flame sabers with Spiritual Qi, causing fiery light to leap on the blade edges and connect into a crimson blade line.

The mobile squads on both wings lowered their postures, ready to cut in from the flanks at any time.

Wang Mu raised his hand to form hand seals, and Spiritual Qi nodes unfolded from the center army, connecting all the way along the front-row shield wall.

Wang Shan stomped his foot on the ground, and Qi and blood surged out from behind the shield wall.

The next moment, the entire grand array Advanced forward.

The shield wall went first, and blade lights slashed out from between the shield gaps.

With every step taken by the Martial Dao Citizens in the front row, the Black Iron Shields pressed forward by a foot.

The crimson flame blade lights of the Cultivation Citizens in the rear flew out along the gaps of the shield wall, cutting straight toward the targets ahead.

Hundreds of heavy wooden stakes were shattered on the spot.

This was only the first layer of changes.

Wang Shan shouted loudly: "Slaughter!"

The front-row shield wall suddenly split to the left and right, and small arrays in groups of thirty people rotated and cut in.

The Martial Dao Citizens used their shields to seal off the space, while the Cultivation Citizens supplemented the lethality with crimson flame sabers.

Blade lights, shield strikes, Qi and blood collisions, and Spiritual Qi fire blades erupted in the exact same area.

The orc puppet arrays placed on the training ground were swallowed up piece by piece.

The puppets were not simply chopped off, but were squeezed by the shield wall, shredded by the blade lights, and blasted apart by Qi and blood.

Wang Pingan watched the Formation below and made a judgment in his heart.

If an equivalent number of orc berserkers charged into this grand array, I'm afraid even complete corpses would be hard to leave behind.

Wang Mu continued to direct the transformation of the Formation.

"Retract the array, switch to defense!"

The two thousand legion members quickly shrunk back.

The Black Iron Shields were stacked layer upon layer, and Qi and blood were injected into the shield faces, forming a thick shield wall.

The Cultivation Citizens poured Spiritual Qi into the nodes of the shield wall, and a layer of light red light curtain emerged on the outer side of the shield wall.

On the other side of the martial arts practice ground, hundreds of Cultivation Citizens released training Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi crashed against the shield wall, was weakened layer by layer, and ultimately left only shallow marks on the shield faces.

Wang Shan waved his saber again and shouted loudly.

"Push back!"

The shield wall violently pressed forward, and crimson flame blade lights erupted simultaneously from behind the shields.

Defense and counterattack were connected almost seamlessly, with no obvious gaps in between.

This was precisely the most terrifying part.

The past Army-Breaking Sword Formation was strong in charging, but once dragged into a melee, the Formation was prone to disorder.

Now this new Formation could defend, push, slaughter, and maintain the operation of small arrays during a melee.

Wang Pingan descended a majestic oracle.

"This array is named the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array."

As the oracle fell, wild joy flashed simultaneously in the eyes of Wang Shan and Wang Mu.

The two thousand heavy-armored citizens knelt down in unison.

"Thank you for bestowing the name, Divine Lord!"

Wang Pingan raised his hand and dropped all the equipment that had just finished commissioned production.

Three thousand crimson flame sabers and three thousand Black Iron Shields turned into sweeping streams of light from above the firmament, falling into the military camp's warehouse.

Watching the new equipment fall, the Martial Dao Citizens and Cultivation Citizens found their breathing turning hurried.

They had practiced with the old rune long swords and refined steel shields for many years.

Now the new crimson flame sabers and Black Iron Shields were even more suitable for the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array.

Wang Pingan's oracle descended once again.

"Wang Shan, Wang Mu, change equipment immediately."

"We strictly obey the Divine Lord's decree!"

The legion acted swiftly.

The Martial Dao Citizens took priority in collecting the Black Iron Shields, and the Cultivation Citizens collected the crimson flame sabers.

Some elites dual-wielded sabers and shields, serving as the core nodes of the meat grinder array.

After the equipment was changed, the Aura of the entire legion changed instantly.

The Black Iron Shields were thick and heavy, and the runes on the shield faces lit up with dark red patterns after receiving Qi and blood.

The crimson flame sabers were sharp; after the Cultivation Citizens infused Spiritual Qi into them, the fiery light on the blade edges flickered, and their lethality was fiercer than ordinary rune long swords.

Wang Shan gripped the Black Iron Shield and fiercely slammed it toward the training stone pillar.

Bang!

The stone pillar cracked on the spot.

He then drew the crimson flame saber and slashed down with a single stroke; the cracked stone pillar was cleaved into two halves by the fiery light.

Wang Shan could not help laughing out loud.

"Exhilarating!"

Wang Mu also tried to urge the crimson flame saber; after Spiritual Qi was infused, the blade light was thicker than the Sword Qi of the past, making it even more suitable for battle Formation slaughter.

He looked at Wang Shan and nodded heavily to express his stance.

"We can regroup now; the lethality of the core small arrays can be raised even further."

Wang Shan immediately responded: "No resting tonight, we practice directly."

Hearing this, Wang Pingan did not stop them.

The longing for war among the citizens of the Divine Kingdom had been completely ignited.

They were not forced to train, but rather proactively wanted to become stronger after seeing with their own eyes the Divine Lord expand territories, bestow spiritual energy, and grant artifacts.

On the Northern martial arts practice ground, the two thousand heavy-armored Immortal-Martial Legion members, now newly equipped, arrayed themselves once again.

This time, the Formation was even more complete than just now.

The Black Iron Shields in the front row connected into a black shield wall.

The crimson flame sabers in the rear lit up with sweeping fiery light.

The Spiritual Qi nodes in the center army flowed, and the assault squads on both wings were primed and ready to go.

Wang Shan held the crimson flame saber high, and his voice resounded across the plains.

"Xianwu Meat Grinder Array, raise!"

Two thousand people stepped forward simultaneously.

The earth trembled, the shield wall pressed forward, and blade lights erupted from the gaps of the shield wall.

Qi and blood and Spiritual Qi repeatedly intertwined within the grand array, forming a terrifying power born exclusively for battlefield slaughter.

Wang Pingan stood atop the firmament, looking at this two-thousand-person heavy-armored legion that was armed to the teeth and proficient in Formations.

He was certain that among peers of the same realm, this army already possessed absolute crushing capability.
