CHAPTER 1717: CHAPTER 574: THE SECOND HANDSHAKE (PART 1)

Liu Zhenhan was still wavering between harvest and relationships, while the Summer Palace Guards who had invaded the Lishan Gate Estate had completed their mission and began to withdraw.

Do not be fooled by the earth-shattering cries earlier; truly, the Summer Palace’s ground forces did not unleash a massacre.

Apart from the four to five hundred centaurs arranged on the city walls, the rest of the Lishan Gate Estate was filled with a bunch of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

The large-scale outburst of tragic screams and cries of despair was merely a result of these vulnerable individuals suddenly seeing the Bimon warriors.

Within the Lishan Gate Estate were some human servants and maids without any martial skills or mana; as ordinary silk humans, suddenly seeing the overwhelming, fully armed Bimon warriors, it’s no surprise they screamed at the top of their lungs -------- For humans of the Silk Continent, these iron-armored, weapon-wielding warriors from another land were as tall as the houses they lived in!

Faced with these heavily-armored warriors, so massive, muscular, and fierce in appearance, ordinary humans of the Silk Continent certainly had the right to scream!

The same outcome would occur even if this were on the Aegean Continent!

To the regular army of any Aegean Continent nation, slaughtering defenseless, unresisting ordinary civilians is an extremely despicable and unethical act. While the spirit of the knight is not as strictly adhered to as before, professional soldiers do have their own professional conduct and limits. As long as the red ribbon was not tangled up, the Summer Palace Guards captured over a thousand prisoners, and withdrew from the estate like a stream.

The Tang Zang army, which had been observing from the perimeter, reacted extremely swiftly at this time. Under the command of the black-bearded General, they displayed a very high level of military aptitude, targeting the Bimon Army not only with ballistae but also quickly taking over all the captives and storming into the still-smoking water estate like a whirlwind.

Though these Tang Zang soldiers were deliberately concealing their actions, Xiao Kong didn’t hide anything from his cheap old man.

These Tang Zang soldiers rushing into the estate were dismantling and transporting the other four undamaged components of the "Five Elements Defense Array" ----------- Each time the "Five Elements Defense Array" is breached, one component is destroyed. Currently, there are still four intact defense array components within the Lishan Gate Estate.

The indigenous of the Silk Continent, the famed Bo Lang Sha firebird "Aurora of the Eternal Night" is the right-hand henchman of Xiao Kong’s cheap old man, and Xiao Kong knew that if he didn’t clarify things, his cheap old man wouldn’t understand the tutor’s intentions.

The "Five Elements Defense Array" must be equipped with a professional "Geomancy Compass Master" to truly unleash its potential.

For instance, the "Five Elements Defense Array" at Lishan Gate, even though breached once and had a formation component damaged, as long as there’s a "Geomancy Compass Master" to assist, recalibrating a new feng shui position and repositioning the remaining four defense array components, these four array components can once again form a "Four Symbols Defense Array"!

Even if the "Four Symbols Defense Array" is breached once more, with a "Geomancy Compass Master" there, the remaining three array components can still be moved to recalibrate feng shui positions, forming a "Three Talents Defense Array" again! Even if breached again, leaving only two array components, with the help of a "Geomancy Compass Master", the two defense array components can still form a "Yin and Yang Defense Array"!

This is the correct usage of the "Five Elements Defense Array"!

Similar to the "Five Elements Defense Array", the "Four Symbols Defense Array", "Three Talents Defense Array", and "Yin and Yang Defense Array" are large shield barriers of three-dimensional defense structures, but their defensive capacity is significantly reduced compared to the "Five Elements Defense Array" ------------- The strengthened intelligence of the "Five Elements Defense Array" relies on the inherent elemental power equipped by rare diamonds from the five series of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, combining into five waves of mixed defense, with each missing array component reducing the defense by one layer.

However, it must be noted that even the most basic "Yin and Yang Defense Array" still boasts a strong defensive effect!

The core strength of the "Five Elements Defense Array" is not the expensive and sophisticated array components, but the "Geomancy Compass Master" who can determine feng shui positions according to astronomical constellations and geographic features, using the Si Nan compass, truly representing the soul of the array!

Although Lishan Gate is equipped with the "Five Elements Defense Array", they do not have a "Geomancy Compass Master", which is the fact Xiao Kong wanted to convey to his father.

Liu Zhenhan wasn’t senile, he could hear what Jiulang implied beneath his words.

Taking advantage of the captive handover process, he persistently latched onto the black-bearded General, and finally managed to admire up close the compartmentalized structure of the "Five Elements Defense Array".

These four defense array components look like four metal octagonal plaques the size of cages, engraved with ancient wedge text and star symbols, with dazzling multi-colored diamonds embedded in specific locations. Besides looking quite mysterious and delicate, it hardly emits any strong or terrifying elemental tremor.

On the Aegean Continent, the more powerful the magical equipment, the stronger the elemental resonance, a universally known fact. The "Five Elements Defense Array" of the Tang Zang Empire is undoubtedly a highly powerful magical equipment, yet its elemental tremor is so mundane and common, this stark contrast to the Aegean traditional perspective left Liu Zhenhan deep in thought for a long time.
