Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2766: Chapter 2765: Formation Instruction!

Soon on the square, three thousand soldiers stood silently and solemnly in formations, resembling an iron Great Wall, standing firm and unyielding.

This is not merely an accumulation of numbers, but rather a battalion sized to independently sustain and engage in combat.

An independent battalion, after all, has about three thousand people!

The team competition’s horn is about to sound, and the core of this event relies not solely on individual bravery but on the ultimate test of collective team capabilities.

The combat strength of a battalion is not just the clash of weapons and armor, but also the confrontation of wisdom and strategy, the showcase of team spirit and cohesion.

And this battalion is different from ordinary ones.

In this special battalion, there are many martial artists.

Their realms are distinctly divided but mysteriously fused into one.

At the pinnacle of the pyramid is the one hailed as the ’team leader,’ an Earth Realm martial artist.

She is none other than Ye Linglong!

She was selected as the ’team leader’ for the team competition.

Her stature is upright, her eyes profound, surrounded by faint fluctuations of Yuan Qi, a trademark only possessed by those who step into the Earth Realm threshold.

Her presence is like the Dinghai Divine Needle, steadying the morale of the entire team and guiding the battle direction.

Following closely behind are five vice-leaders who, though not fully in the Earth Realm, are still formidable as Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists.

They each manage an area, serving as the team leader’s capable aides and as absolute authorities in their domains, ensuring every detail of the team is precisely controlled.

Further down are thirty Grandmaster-Level martial artists, who, like brilliant stars, adorn various crucial positions of the team.

Achieving the Grandmaster Realm signifies mastery of the Martial Way, capable of influencing the battle situation with their power, and forming the team’s backbone.

Then there’s one hundred Martial Arts Masters, who though may not have reached the Grandmaster’s height, have profound achievements in martial arts, acting as the indispensable executors and critical tacticians within the team.

Their presence allows commands to rapidly and accurately translate into actions.

As for the other soldiers, most are Gold-Realm Martial Artists and ordinary soldiers who, though not trained in martial arts, possess resilient will and excellent physical prowess.

They may seem slightly inferior in individual strength, but these seemingly ordinary figures form the most solid cornerstone of the team.

In numbers, they are the most, directly embodying the source of the team’s strength.

However, forming such a team with a vast strength hierarchy into a true ’battalion’ is undoubtedly challenging.

Coordinating skills, organizing capabilities, team combat skills each pose a significant challenge to the team.

Creating chemical reactions between Earth Realm martial artists and Gold-Realm martial artists, ensuring every member performs to the maximum at the most opportune moment requires advanced command artistry and a deep recognition of the team philosophy by every soldier.

A strong team can exhibit several times, even tenfold combat power, since they can support each other, forming a perfect offensive and defensive system, pooling individual powers into an unstoppable torrent.

Conversely, if the team combat ability is poor, lacking trust and harmony among members, even with strong individuals, miscoordination can result in counteraction.

At the moment, Lin Dong glanced at this ’battalion’ of three thousand people and said: ”Everyone, follow me. Let’s head for jungle special training!”

The team competition venue will also be in the jungle.

Thus, Lin Dong directly led them to the jungle for special training.

Training within a simulated battlefield naturally yields the best effect.

Afterward, Lin Dong led this unique team composed of three thousand soldiers across vast plains and entered an ancient and dense jungle.

Sunshine penetrated through the dense canopy, dappled over the ground, adding some mystery and solemnity to the land about to witness the miracle.

In an open area, Lin Dong halted and turned around, facing the neatly lined-up soldiers, his gaze like a torch, his voice firm and powerful:

”Everyone, the upcoming training is extremely important. In this jungle, I will teach you several formations that will greatly enhance our team’s combat power.”

”You must strictly follow my arrangement and deployment, which is not only a test of our team collaboration ability but the key to standing out in the forthcoming team competition.”

Upon hearing this, the soldiers’ eyes glittered with excitement and anticipation, and they shouted in unison:

”Please impart the formation, War God Lin!”

Their voices echoed through the jungle, as if even the trees were trembling because of it.

Lin Dong nodded slightly, his expression solemn:

”The first formation I will teach you is called the ’Five Elements Xuanwu Formation.’ This formation originates from ancient military tactics, combining the principles of five elements generation and restraint, forming an unyielding defense akin to the stable and formidable Xuanwu.”

Next, Lin Dong explained in detail the setup of the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation.

Firstly, according to the soldiers’ strength and attributes, he divided them into five groups: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, each group consisting of six hundred people, representing one element of the five elements.

The Metal group is positioned at the front of the formation, symbolizing sharpness and solidity; the Wood group is on the left, signifying growth and transformation; the Water group is on the right, representing flow and flexibility; the Fire group is at the rear, symbolizing vigor and explosion; the Earth group is at the center, serving as the formation’s core, symbolizing stability and heaviness.

”Metal group warriors, you are to form the formation’s sharp edge, using your weapons to create an insurmountable barrier.”

”Wood group, you are responsible for the formation’s agile adjustments, altering formations rapidly according to the battlefield situation; Water group, you are like flowing streams, ready to support wherever needed.”

Fire group, your task is to gather strength and deliver a fatal strike to the enemy at a critical moment; Earth group, you are the foundation of the formation, maintaining the formation’s stability, ensuring every warrior can exert the maximum combat power.”

”The five vice-leaders, you are the commanders of each group!”

”As for team leader Ye Linglong, you will be the formation’s eye, controlling the entire big array!”

Lin Dong’s words like a baton guided the soldiers in constructing this fortress of defense step by step.

Behind Lin Dong’s command, the soldiers swiftly moved to their positions, conveying information through eye signals and gestures, adjusting their positions until the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation was fully formed.

The entire formation seemed to come alive, exuding an indescribable majesty and power.

After the setup was complete, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction and then turned his gaze to Dugu Tian, who had been quietly observing aside.

Smiling, Lin Dong said: ”Senior Dugu, next, please test the defensive power of this Five Elements Xuanwu Formation?”

Dugu Tian, upon hearing, smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes: ”Of course, War God Lin. Tell me, what level of power should I use? Shall I first use the power of the Third Stage Grandmaster to see if it can shake this formation?”

”After all, in the team competition, the strongest team leaders from each nation at most have the strength of the Third Stage Grandmaster.”

Still, Lin Dong shook his head, a self-assured smile curling at the corner of his mouth: ”Less, less, Senior Dugu, use the power of Stage Five Grandmaster directly. I believe our Five Elements Xuanwu Formation can withstand such a test.”

”Hmm?” Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Dugu Tian couldn’t help but be stunned.

He gazed at the defensive formation composed of three thousand courageous warriors before him, a surge of indescribable shock and anticipation rising in his heart.
