Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Order all subordinate generals to activate Belief Blessing. All middle-level officers, concentrate around Qi Refining to Gang to form the Elite Legion, prepare to attack.” Brack took a deep breath, erasing all the emptiness in his heart, and with ice-cold pride, issued a new command.

In an instant, the main formation of the Kushan army underwent frenzied changes. The Cloud Qi in the sky began to be consumed at a visible speed. The remaining seven divisions of troops all revealed a sheen akin to Legion Talent, and the soldiers of each division also started forming elite assault teams around Qi Refining to Gang, instinctively aligning into their most skilled battle formations.

Within a few breaths, half of the Kushan army’s Legion Cloud Qi was consumed, yet the momentum and combat power of the main legion continued to escalate. A vast number of elite main forces gathered to form a seamlessly coordinated counterattack legion centered on Qi Refining to Gang.

Various kinds of Radiance Blessings enveloped the Kushan army. At this moment, the Kushan army, which had swept eastward from the Kushan border and conquered most of the South Asian Subcontinent, finally bared its fangs. The Belief Blessing and Synchronization Legion, the foundations of the Kushan Empire, were fully displayed in front of the Han Empire, its elder brother from a hundred years ago.

Seeing the frontal assault gradually extending from the Kushan generals in various bursts of radiance, Yan Yan’s expression grew significantly graver. As the Kushan army naturally divided into units of about a hundred, maneuvering flexible Ruyi sub-teams, Yan Yan’s face became somewhat shadowed.

”Order Deng Xian and Wu Lan to lead the main force and prepare to suppress the Kushan’s left wing,” Yan Yan immediately conveyed new orders upon seeing the different Radiances emanating from the opponents. ”Liu Gui, Ling Bao, lead your forces and assist Meng Huo and E Huan in preparing to suppress the Kushan right wing.”

”Order Leitong to mobilize the Crossbow Corps to prepare for breakthroughs by our Rear Army if our Central Army is breached,” Yan Yan’s face was solemn, yet he showed no sign of panic. Even with the Kushan’s rise of their characteristic abilities, the war’s outcome was far from decided.

As the Kushan generals and commanders began to dispatch and synchronize with soldiers who believed in the same gods and Buddhas, the Cloud Qi in the sky started to be absorbed continuously. In this continuous response, the power of these gods and Buddhas was manifested.

This was the power by which the Kushan, though lacking a Legion Talent, still managed to stand proudly in Central Asia and dominate an era, by taking the image of the same gods and Buddhas in their hearts as a model, and using Heaven and Earth Essence and Cloud Qi as a foundation, bringing the gods and Buddhas from their recognition into reality.

Although each person might have a different image of the gods and Buddhas in their heart, and there’s a potential lack of commonality between the godly images recognized by generals and those recognized by soldiers, the universality and the reflected reality of this Belief Blessing sufficed to serve as Kashan’s foundation.

No matter if the focus was on Acala or Yasha Bright King, or any other god or Buddha, the closer the soldiers’ understanding of the divine was to the chief general’s, the stronger the manifested support would be.

Similarly, the stronger the power that the chief general recognized in a god or Buddha, for instance, certain gods holding all divine powers, within which each soldier’s understanding lies, theoretically, everyone could be encompassed within this blessing.

However, even today, if someone visualized Tathagata and realized Inner Qi Separation, believing that Tathagata possessed all divine powers and could govern all gods, seeing all gods visualized by others as avatars of Tathagata, with limitless power.

Yet, the soldiers he leads could only receive a portion of this power, far from reaching the state envisaged by the great sage who founded this as Kushan’s cornerstone. Even so, it sufficed for Kushan to roam the world.

As for the Synchronization Legion, it was almost Kushan’s foundational practice of visualization. As long as one could achieve Qi Refining to Gang, they essentially belonged to this legion, although the number per individual varied, fundamentally they visualized the same gods, achieving Qi Refining to Gang through collective effort.

This method, despite various drawbacks, undeniably meant that each of Kushan’s Qi Refining to Gang achievers always had a group of soldiers deeply in sync with their own intent.

The cooperation among these individuals was extremely intimate. If facing a Han army of equal strength and number, it would be incredibly challenging to secure victory against this combat method.

As the major Kushan generals and commanders deployed their Belief Blessing, merging their middle-level Synchronization Teams, the power of the Kushan army skyrocketed.

The Kushan left wing, initially beaten back step by step by Zhang Ren, finally displayed their rightful combat prowess, no longer suffering previous continuous mistakes and retreat, barely blocking the previously aggressive Zhang Ren, making further penetration into the central Kushan army nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, Monnari and Sharuk in the Central Army, upon activating their Belief Blessing, finally gained some resistance against the seemingly inexhaustible Wutugu. However, what mattered more was that simultaneously activating Acala, Monnari, and Sharuk’s forces, backed by strong defensive power, finally blocked Wutugu’s Rattan Armored Soldiers.
