If the current Roman emperor were to see his predecessors playing a hack-and-slash game and being possessed by something else, he would probably be greatly traumatized.
Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and the emperor, who had slept all day, walked in full of energy:
"Fujimaru, General Boudica, I've found a way!"
"Method?"
"Hmm, I heard that the battle with the enemy was lost today? Ah... I'm sorry, Boudica, I didn't mean to."
“It’s alright.” Boudica looked at Nero, who was genuinely apologetic, and found it hard to reconcile her with the person who had spoken such cruel words yesterday. “Your Majesty, please continue.”
"Hmm, okay, it's very simple. When I was hungry tonight and wanted to go find something to eat, I happened to hear a farmer say something about 'the gods appearing.' A traveling merchant I passed by today also said something similar. After pressing him for details, I discovered that an ancient god had appeared on an island in the Mediterranean!"
"If a god were to join in, then surely we would be able to overcome the current difficulties!"
"As a rumor, the details are quite specific," Fujimaru said.
“An island inhabited by gods. How wonderful, ah, how romantic!” Dr. Roman exclaimed wistfully. “An ancient god who descended from the first century! A deity who should have vanished has returned to the mortal realm…!”
After a brief conversation, the group quickly decided that Nero and Fujimaru would set off to the Mediterranean to search for the gods.
While Nero was sailing in the Mediterranean, he unexpectedly saw several large ships following a course and heading towards another destination.
"Hmm, this is... the symbol of the Roman Empire? Is this our ship?" Nero stopped steering the ship and looked around curiously.
“I heard Mr. Sakugetsu mention…this must be the transport ship supporting his expedition…” Fujimaru hugged the pillar, trying to calm his dazed state through conversation. “Speaking of which, I wonder how Mr. Sakugetsu is doing now…ugh…”
"Hmm hmm." Upon hearing this, the young emperor fell into a deep thought, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"By the way, Fujimaru, you can sail a boat, right? You definitely can, right?"
ha? "
The ranking and selection of famous generals in the Temple of Martial Arts varied across different eras. For example, Bai Qi was the head of the Ten Philosophers of the Temple of Martial Arts during the Tang Dynasty, but was removed during the Song Dynasty. Just remember that all the nominated generals were very capable fighters.
Chapter 273 The Gate of Life or the Gate of Death?
Chapter 273 The Gate of Life... or the Gate of Death?
The eight gates of the Human Plate are: Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Block Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Open Gate.
The Rest Gate belongs to the Water element, the Life Gate and Death Gate belong to the Earth element, the Injury Gate and Block Gate belong to the Wood element, the View Gate belongs to the Fire element, and the Shock Gate and Open Gate belong to the Metal element.
Alright, you've learned the basics of Qimen Dunjia, that's great!
Now, it is up to you to crack the Grand Strategist's ultimate formation, the pinnacle of Qimen Dunjia—the Stone Soldier Eight Formations.
"What a joke." The white-haired general twitched his lips. Beside him, the stone pillars that enveloped the surrounding area were cleverly connected, blocking the five senses and hindering magic.
The stone pillars are merely the surface; the true essence of the formation lies in the interconnectedness between the anchor points. This intricate network, woven from principles that align with the laws of heaven and earth, is not something that can be broken by force.
This was a formation set up to block the 100,000-strong army of the Wu Kingdom. Even Lu Xun, the Grand Marshal of Eastern Wu, could not break it. If he had not been rescued by others, he would have been trapped and died in the formation.
As a descendant of the Chinese nation, Shuoyue was all too aware of the difficulty in breaking this formation.
As for why he got caught up in this situation—
Although it was a large army going on an expedition, the teams transporting provisions and supplies would always be a bit slower. With the great battle imminent, Shuoyue simply let the main force and the transport teams move together, while he himself led several hundred light cavalry to take the lead and act as scouts.
Shuoyue is not a fragile human being, but a pseudo-Servant, so naturally there is no need to worry about decapitation tactics. Rather, he would rather the enemy charge at him on their own.
However, just as they reached a wilderness, several giant rocks suddenly rose up, instantly overturning heaven and earth and reversing yin and yang, pressing down on Shuoyue like the Five Elements Mountain, rendering him unable to move.
Not only did the sky and earth lose their bearings, but impacts from all directions also emerged one after another. Rocks rolled down from the mountains and rivers surged, summoning gales and thunder. Flames even fell from the sky, and the scorching steam almost blinded people.
The bloodlust swept through, forming a barrier that blocked the ever-changing attacks.
"Fancy and frivolous." Shuoyue snorted, but her expression wasn't much better.
The one who resembles a follower is Zhuge Kongming, whose official position is...
The most famous thing about the Servants is their skill 'Territory Construction'.
Of course, there are also shameful things like Shakespeare, but as a great strategist, how can the battleground set up by the dignified Zhuge Liang be underestimated?
Even though Shuoyue's spiritual foundation is also among the best of the military strategists, the timing and location are now entirely in the enemy's hands. If he is not careful, he could be suppressed here.
More importantly, there is the inherent problem with the existence of this Stone Soldier Eight Formations.
If Shuoyue isn't senile yet, then the being possessing the beautiful boy is indeed saying, 'The servant who also belongs to the Chinese lineage has been kidnapped by me.'
Although it's a bit apologetic to say this, Shuoyue doesn't believe that these beings have any need to lie, nor do they possess any intelligence.
So what exactly is this Stone Soldier Eight Formations?
In Shuoyue's view, there are two possibilities.
One interpretation is that Zhuge Liang, like Caligula or that beautiful young servant, was possessed by an unknown entity and was powerless to control his own destiny.
The second explanation is that El-Melloi II was coerced into setting up this formation in order to protect someone.
Wait, there might also be a possibility that requires a lot of luck and teamwork...
With a flicker of his eye, the white-haired general looked at his terrified soldiers and made a decisive choice.
"Gather around me, and I will give it my all. You can follow along on your own!"
As the man uttered a soft shout, a giant, blood-red terracotta warrior, standing tall and imposing, wielding two swords, casually chose a spot and strode away.
"Boom boom boom!" What greeted the blood-red terracotta warriors was an overwhelming barrage of explosive lightning.
If ordinary soldiers were to take their place, they would be wiped out in no time. Even the Blood Fiend Warriors only held out for a short while before collapsing on their own, avoiding unnecessary losses.
Not only that, the Stone Soldiers Eight Formation seemed to be enraged, and its momentum towards the new moon became even more intense. Even the mighty blood demons were rapidly thinning under the wind, thunder, water, and fire, and it was feared that it would not be able to hold out for long.
"At this moment, I will miss my original form." The white-haired general waved his hand casually, and a massive amount of blood energy spewed out to fill the defensive line.
If he were to enter the battle alone, protecting himself would be a piece of cake. However, he is accompanied by hundreds of burdens, and the effort required to protect them is far greater than that required to protect himself.
After making a brief complaint, Shuoyue calmed down and began to try to analyze the formation.
If it were any other mythology or heroic spirit from another region, they would probably just wander around aimlessly like headless flies, eventually being worn down and killed. But both Shuoyue and the servant possessing him are from the Central Plains of China, and they have some understanding of the famous Eight Trigrams Formation.
"The Injury Gate falls in the Zhen Palace, its element is wood, it is located in the due east, and its power is thunder." With just this one test, Shuoyue figured out the characteristics of this gate. Then, he raised his hand and waved it, and the blood puppet behind him re-condensed and rushed in the direction he pointed.
"The Gate of Life is located in the Gen Palace, which belongs to the Earth element and is situated in the Northeast. In other words, this is the key to escape!"
Sure enough, once the terracotta warriors broke through the turbulent flow of the encirclement, the scene before them suddenly opened up, revealing the path to the Gate of Life.
This is the magic of Blood Fiend; even without using cannon fodder to scout ahead, Shuoyue can still find a way to escape unscathed.
"Go." With a low voice, Shuoyue stirred up her blood energy, enduring all kinds of attacks from within, and broke through towards the Gate of Life.
As long as you keep walking in this direction, you can break free from the blockade of the Stone Soldiers Formation.
However, will things be as simple as Shuoyue imagines?
The answer is naturally no.
The Eight Trigrams Formation uses the eight trigrams (Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui) as its core, and forms a formation based on the elements of heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird, and snake. It is compatible with astronomy and geography, encompassing all things, and is a rare and ingenious formation in the history of Chinese military and magic.
Sixteen celestial formations, twelve terrestrial formations, the wind formation is formless, and clouds cling to the ground—
And who has ever said that once this formation is formed, it will remain fixed?
After overcoming one obstacle after another, Shuoyue, wielding her longsword, slashed forward fiercely, as if piercing through a soft membrane, revealing a breathtaking view ahead.
However, Shuoyue only had time to memorize her location before she was once again shrouded in a hazy mist.
Curses, paralysis, resentment, and constant wails echoed in my ears, as if I were on the road to the underworld.
This time, even the Blood Fiend could not protect the soldiers. As long as they could not stop breathing, could not stop feeling, and could not stop moving, they were destined to sink into the torment of hell.
Screams rang out one after another as the soldiers clutched their throats and heads in agony. Their wills were corrupted by the resentment and curses they had inflicted, and they willingly broke free from the protection of the Blood Fiend. In less than a quarter of an hour, they turned into blood.
The Death Gate falls in the Kun Palace, and its element is Earth.
And it is directly opposite the gate of life.
Just as mountains and lakes communicate, and thunder and wind interact, so too is heaven and earth one inside and out, life and death inseparable. What seems like a gateway to life can, with just a slight turn, lead to nowhere to heaven or nowhere to earth.
To make matters worse, amidst the chaotic roars, a group of soldiers with bloodshot eyes, like wild beasts, surged into the Death Gate, bathed in blood and fire, and launched a charge towards Shuoyue and the others.
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"

Chapter 274 The Alienated United Roman Soldiers
Having led his army in battle for many years, killing countless people, and having been ordered by the king to destroy mountains and temples, he had witnessed countless strange occurrences and slain countless ghosts, but never before had he been so astonished.
It was something that resembled a demon but was not a demon, something that resembled a beast but was not a beast, something that resembled a human but was not a human.
They thirsted for blood, indulged in the ultimate depravity, and suffered terribly and went mad the moment they returned to peace.
Those are slaves who seek self-destruction, souls that have become corrupted by their own prosperity, walking corpses that have lost all meaning.
If there is only one of these items, then it is a rare and precious thing.
Ten, the collections of high-ranking officials and nobles.
One hundred small-scale disasters that must be eliminated.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands—
And so, the army of undead, clad in armor and driven by desire rather than reason, stood before him.
Only then did he realize with astonishment that it was a natural disaster.
It is a catastrophe for humanity that must not be allowed to spread.
A resolute killing intent surged forth.
Shuoyue had never experienced such intense emotions from her spirit foundation. That famous general was always the epitome of someone who never showed his emotions. In the ever-changing battlefield, only unwavering spirit could stand out.
However, at this moment.
A bone-chilling flame ignited on the eternally frozen ice.
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"
The blood demons swept in like a storm, transforming into swords, spears, and halberds that stood at the forefront. The hundred or so soldiers remaining under Shuoyue's command also roused their spirits, withstanding the desperate situation brought by the Gate of Death. Each of them gripped their weapons, their eyes fixed resolutely on the monsters ahead.
Yes, monster—
