The battle horn was blown, and the earth immortal who led the way hurriedly left Xu Chunniang and Gong Laohou and went away without looking back.
Fortunately, the two people who stayed where they were were soon noticed by Zhao Mengdi, the commander of the Zuo Feng Army. After a little thought, she realized that the two were new members of the Zuo Feng Army, and she directly gave them instructions through voice transmission.
"You two will follow the others at the end of the team and set off immediately."
After she gave this order, she ignored the two of them and issued several orders in succession, deploying the battle in an orderly manner.
Under the command of Zhao Mengdi, the entire Zuofeng Army was divided into three teams, which would advance in the left, right and center directions respectively.
Before leaving, Zhao Mengdi glanced around, quickly went over all the deployments in his mind, and emphasized with a serious expression.
"Remember your identities. The most important duty of the Zuofeng Army is to explore the way and find out the strength and strategy of the demon army. Fighting is not our strong point. There is no need to be brave. Just try your best to survive on the battlefield. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The three teams responded in unison, resounding throughout the world, which was enough to show how high Zhao Mengdi's prestige was in the Zuofeng Army.
Xu Chunniang and Gong Lao were assigned to the central team, which will be led by Zhao Mengdi himself.
The fact that Zhao Mengdi led the team personally did not mean that the dangers encountered by the team would be reduced. On the contrary, as the commander of the Zuofeng Army, she had seen through the strategic layout of the demon army many times on the eve of the war and made countless contributions.
The demon army had long wanted to get rid of her and had even organized several battles against Zuo Feng's army.
But Zhao Mengdi, who was at the peak of the celestial realm, was not only an outstanding general, but also possessed powerful strength and rich combat experience. Despite being targeted many times, he managed to break out of the siege with a group of Zuofeng troops who were not considered elite.
This made Zhao Mengdi more prestigious, but also made him more hated by the demon army.
Xu Chunniang and Old Gong followed at the end of the team. Although the cultivation levels of the immortals in the entire team were generally not high, there was a solemn atmosphere among them. Everyone raised their concentration to the highest level in order to deal with the battle that might happen next.
Influenced by the atmosphere in the army, the expressions of the two men became much more serious. No one knew whether they would run into the demon army at the next intersection.
But at this moment, a short and faint sound of insects was heard. Hearing the sound, the Zuofeng Army, which was originally marching rapidly, stopped and quickly entered a state of preparation for battle.
It turned out that Zhao Mengdi, who was walking at the front of the team, discovered a small group of demon soldiers in front of him. He used the sound of insects to convey the battle message, signaling everyone to fight.
Although Xu Chunniang and Gong Lao did not know the specific meaning of the insect chirping sounds, when they saw the people around them stop and look alert, they guessed that they might have encountered a situation.
After a few breaths, a small group of demon soldiers appeared in front of everyone.
Fortunately, this small group of demon soldiers is not the main force of the demon army, and their overall cultivation is almost the same as that of Zuo Feng’s army.
However, every demon is brave and good at fighting, and their individual combat capabilities are extremely strong. Although the enemy's numbers are small, they should not be underestimated.
After Zhao Mengdi passed the information back to the main camp, he gave the order, "Form a battle array!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole team immediately took action and formed a peculiar formation.
Everyone took their positions, except Xu Chunniang and Gong Lao, two newcomers to the Zuo Feng Army, who didn't know how to coordinate the formation.
At the critical moment, Zhao Mengdi was busy commanding the troops and naturally would not pay attention to the two newcomers. The others were all doing their own jobs and also had no time to pay attention to others, so the two were left behind.
However, at the beginning, Zhao Mengdi arranged the two of them at the end of the team. In this position, even if they did not enter the formation, they would basically not encounter any danger.
As soon as the formation was formed, the battle broke out. With the Zuo Feng Army having the advantage in strength and numbers, the demon soldiers could not gain any advantage at all.
However, the demons were powerful, and even though they were protected by the formation, many people in Zuo Feng's army were injured or even died. The vacant positions in the formation would soon be filled by the people behind them.
This scene made Old Gong very anxious. Although he was afraid of death, he was also a member of Zuo Feng's army and wanted to contribute to the battle.
What's the point of just hiding behind other people
"Xu girl, don't you know a little bit about formations? Can you figure out something? We can't just stay in the back all the time, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm already watching."
From the moment the battle array began, Xu Chunniang had been studying this lineup. After looking at it for a long time, she finally had some idea of it.
To put it simply, this formation can be roughly divided into three parts, responsible for combat, guarding and storing power respectively.
Everyone can freely choose to join one of the branches based on their own strength and the laws they have understood. They can also switch freely between branches according to the specific situation.
After briefly explaining the effects of the formations listed by everyone, Elder Gong suddenly realized, "This formation is easier to understand than I thought. I plan to fight those demon soldiers. Where should I go?"
In this team, the number of earth immortals and human immortals each accounts for half. The earth immortals with higher cultivation levels are mostly responsible for more dangerous combat capabilities, while the guarding and power accumulation are mostly the responsibility of human immortals with lower cultivation levels and strength.
Old Gong felt that he was, after all, an earthly immortal, and since he enjoyed the protection of everyone, he naturally had to contribute more.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever fought against demon soldiers before?"
Old Gong shook his head. He had lived a very stable life in the fairy world for more than ten thousand years. He spent most of his time diligently earning fairy crystals and had never put himself in danger.
"In that case, I think you're more suitable to join the guard team and learn about the demons' strength first. After you have a general understanding of their strength, you'll be more confident in the battle."
Old Gong thought about it and felt that it made sense. For a man like him who seldom fought with others, it would be quite risky for him to rashly fight with the demon.
"Okay, what about you?"
"I will go with you, and first feel how powerful these demons are."
As she spoke, Xu Chunniang pointed to a location.
"When you go there, just keep using your immortal energy to condense the power of the law and constantly strengthen the protective barrier in the formation."
Mr. Gong understood and followed her instructions, and successfully integrated into the formation.
After settling Old Gong, Xu Chunniang also found a place for herself and strengthened the defense of the formation.
The actions of the two were seen by Zhao Mengdi, who was in charge of the overall situation. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that these two newcomers could understand and integrate into the formation so quickly.
Her eyes swept across the two of them, and quickly focused her attention on the battle in front of her. If this trend continued, these demons would be dealt with soon.
