Chapter 420 Battle Techniques
Day four, early morning.

Before dawn, with only a faint glimmer of light appearing in the east, the heavy darkness of night still enveloped the land.

Buck then grabbed his two large axes, donned his armor and weapons, and mounted his warhorse.

Behind him stood the eight thousand iron cavalrymen who, in the battle just the day before, had swept through the entire Imperial Expeditionary Force camp with overwhelming force.

Even before the stench of blood on their bodies had dissipated, a terrifying aura had already gathered once more.

This unit, along with its commander Bak, does not actually belong to any tribe in terms of organization, but is directly under the personal guard of Mo Yu, the high priest.

His military spirit was forged by him, and he later selected brave warriors from various tribes to fill the ranks.

Being selected for this elite force is the greatest honor of any tribal warrior!

The more than 300,000 prisoners of the Imperial Army looked at this newly assembled black cavalry with eyes full of the fear of surviving a catastrophe. In their eyes, this was the death knight who brought boundless terror.

The warriors of the five tribes cast their fervent gazes, a mixture of longing and admiration, fixed intently on the imposing black knights, wishing they could take their place!
Several tribal warriors who narrowly missed out on the selection process to replenish the ranks after yesterday's battle were seething with rage, their teeth practically grinding to dust.

Driven by the enemy's fear and the admiration of their own people, the dozens of newly recruited soldiers, one by one, followed the example of their predecessors and proudly puffed out their chests.

Something called "honor" filled their hearts like molten lava, making their blood boil and eager to immediately engage in the most intense battle!

"Hahahaha!"

Even though he had experienced this scene countless times, Buck still thoroughly enjoyed being looked at.

He laughed wildly, slamming the blade of his giant axe against his breastplate, unleashing a deafening battle roar:

"For battle and glory! Attack! Crush those fools who dare to defy the High Priest's decree!!"

"Roar!!!"

Eight thousand iron cavalrymen roared in unison, transforming into a black, furious tide that surged out of the camp, carrying with it a sky full of killing intent and dust.

……

Inside the main tent, Najenda stood at the entrance, gazing at the iron cavalry receding like a black tide, a hint of shock still lingering in her eyes.

Mo Yu gave her the right to act freely. After all, even Esdeath had been defeated by him, so why would he be afraid of a mere Najenda?

However, due to her status as a captured enemy general, she also wore the same symbolic collar and chain as Esdeath.

Najeta reached out and tugged at the collar around her neck, still feeling awkward wearing it.

The cold iron chains, in particular, would occasionally slip from her collar into the seam, and the icy touch made her feel very strange.

She turned her head and looked back at the woman in the tent who was in a similar situation to her...

However, compared to her various discomforts, Esdeath, who should have been even more arrogant and untamed than her, adapted extremely quickly as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, she was leaning affectionately against Mo Yu, flipping through the manuscript he had just finished writing. The seriousness in her icy blue eyes was even more focused than when she was reviewing military reports.

This left Najenda somewhat puzzled.

What exactly is written on this?
It seems that, in the eyes of Mo Yu and Esdeath, this thing is far more important than sending eight thousand iron cavalry out of the camp to quell a large-scale internal rebellion.

"Internal force... internal strength... internal energy... internal energy..."

Esdeath slowly put down the manuscript in her hands, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing according to the method described in the manuscript.

She was already one of the empire's top martial arts masters, and her control over her body had reached its pinnacle.

Soon, she was able to condense "internal strength" in her dantian by relying on the fighting skills she had learned during her early years of studying in the empire.

Immediately afterward, as her internal energy circulated within her body, she quickly saw, through "internal vision," the already formed, dense network of energy meridians within her body.

"Didn't you say that the circulation of Qi through the meridians needs to be built up little by little by yourself?"

Esdeath opened her eyes and asked, somewhat puzzled,

"Why does a complete set of meridians already exist in my body?"

Mo Yu did not speak.

On his other side, Li Wu, holding a jade flute and exuding a mature charm, picked up the manuscript, casually flipping through it, and murmured:
"Because there is more than one way to build the meridian system. In this world, there are some strange beasts that are born with complete energy meridians. Some of them can achieve symbiosis with humans and are called 'alien species'."

"If one is fortunate enough to find one of these, one can harness its power to build a meridian system around one's body, allowing one to ascend to the heavens in one step, release one's energy, and become a master of innate cultivation, saving at least ten years of hard work."

"An alien species?"

Esdeath sensed something and subconsciously looked down at the demon mark on her chest.

Li Wu toyed with the Imperial Flute in her hand, her eyes revealing undisguised envy as she looked at her:
"In your world, what are called 'super dangerous species' are actually alien beasts."

"I'm considered quite talented. Under the rigorous training of 'The Net,' I endured fourteen years of arduous practice before finally achieving the Innate Realm. But you, with the power of this innate rare species, possessed it instantly. Truly...good luck." 'Your world? The Net?'

Najenda, who was quietly listening to the two women's conversation, keenly noticed some key points in Li Wu's words.

Just then, Mo Yu suddenly spoke:

While relying on foreign species can indeed grant power quickly, it is ultimately an external force. For ordinary people who have reached their limit, it is a coveted treasure; but for those with exceptional talent, it is a poisoned remedy, sacrificing future potential.

With her exceptional talent, Esdeath had now personally experienced the meaning behind Mo Yu's words.

As her internal energy circulated through her body's meridians under her control, a wisp of icy blue energy finally appeared in her palm.

Although she could sense that this wisp of energy was indeed much easier to control than the Imperial Arms she had manipulated before, feeling as natural as if it were her own arm.

However, Esdeath's beastly instincts told her something.

This system of meridian circulation did not perfectly match her body.

Moreover, the fact that her power has not increased since she drank the "Demon's Essence" and gained control of this ice imperial weapon also indirectly confirms this point.

Her potential was completely locked up by this foreign meridian system!

This is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to Esdeath, who considers the pursuit of power and the desire to become stronger as her lifelong creed!

Especially now that there is a cultivation technique that can give her greater power, right in front of her.

Although Esdeath herself did not know how to solve the problem, she did know who had the solution.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her, her icy blue eyes sparkling with an unprecedented brilliance, and her tone became alluring and seductive:
"Almighty Lord Moyu, you must have a solution to this problem, right?"

Mo Yu glanced at the black choker around her neck and muttered speechlessly:
"You're still a captured enemy general, why don't you at least surrender before saying this?"

Although Esdeath no longer felt much resistance to surrendering to Mo Yu at this moment.

However, she was reluctant to point her guns at her former master and wanted to delay until the empire was completely destroyed. In any case, given the current situation, it wouldn't be long.

Therefore, as she was not a member of the Church of the God of War, she did not discover the true secrets in the manuscript called "Battle Techniques".

Li Wu, who had already joined the Church of the God of War and held the position of priestess, discovered the moment she flipped through the manuscript that the technique was vaguely connected to the power of the God of War within her!

She simply followed the description of the exercise instinctively, circulating it throughout her body for one cycle.

The next moment, Li Wu felt as if she had been connected to a massive will.

She had seen this will during her initial initiation trials; it was... the God of War!
At this moment, powerful battle intents recorded by the God of War and battlefield martial arts honed in life-or-death struggles surged into her mind like a tide!

Her consciousness seemed to sink into the body of the God of War, transforming into powerful warriors recorded by the God of War, personally experiencing one brutal battle after another.

In this process, her fighting spirit was constantly honed, and her strength also became stronger!
This is the "Battle Technique" that Mo Yu created for his War God Church, modeled after the "Revenge Technique" of various heroes, with "battle" as its core!
However, unlike others, he did not create a physical statue of the God of War, but instead used the power of the God of War as a prerequisite for cultivating this technique.

Only by possessing the key of "Power of the God of War" can one connect with the God of War and thus experience the true wonders of this technique.

For an "outsider" like Esdeath, the Battle Manual is undoubtedly an extremely comprehensive and supreme martial arts manual whose ultimate goal is to "shatter the void".

In terms of sheer level, it's not much different from the legendary "War God's Record" in the world of martial arts.

However, it was ultimately rather "ordinary".

Like a towering tree reaching the sky, it has a trunk that reaches the realm of "shattering the void," but it is bare, without any branches or leaves.

Want to get the matching "branches and leaves"? It's simple.

Join a guild and accumulate enough contribution points first...

Yes, what Mo Yu copied was that classic cult model from Western fantasy.

Believers offer faith, and gods bestow divine power and divine favor.

When a pattern becomes a classic, it is enough to demonstrate its reliability and universality.

If you can't think of anything better, you might as well just copy it.

Esdeath clearly felt Li Wu's increasingly powerful aura beside her, and combined with Mo Yu's words, she immediately understood that this damn cultivation technique actually had prerequisites!
She was smitten.

No, I'm just craving it!

For the sake of power, former masters and such... can be put aside for now!
After a life of wandering, I finally met a wise ruler and became his godfather!

Esdeath, I surrender!
