Chapter 2634 The Ancestor of Zombies, Empress Dowager, and the Vermilion Bird Covering the Rear

"Ding! Jiang Ziya's Investiture of the Gods skill effect three activated: Divine Command. Anyone whose name is on the Investiture of the Gods list can have their martial prowess increased by two points when commanded in battle. This skill effect can only be activated when the user is the main general."

Yu Yuan's martial prowess increases by 2, base martial prowess is 107, equipment increases by 1, and current martial prowess rises to 110.

Yu Hua's martial prowess increased by 2, base martial prowess was 105, equipment increased by 1, and current martial prowess rose to 108.

The area of ​​White Wolf Ridge is quite large; otherwise, Jiang Ziya wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to conserve his troops.

Such a short time was not enough for the scouts to bring back accurate information, yet Jiang Ziya seemed to have already foreseen Zhu Quan's location.

The entire defense line of White Wolf Ridge was constructed by Jiang Ziya, so he knew exactly where the enemy might sneak up, and it would only be one of these three locations.

Although he knew this, he didn't pay any attention to these positions when setting up the defenses. The reason was that even if enemy troops managed to sneak up from these three positions, it wouldn't affect the safety of the entire White Wolf Ridge.

Reducing defenses in these three locations would allow for the maximum deployment of troops from White Wolf Ridge to more important positions.

White Wolf Ridge is a ridge, not a pass. From the beginning of the ridge to the top of the entire White Wolf Ridge, it is a continuous line of fortresses of all sizes, which form the defensive line of White Wolf Ridge.

If the previous defensive lines haven't been breached, what use would a few hundred men be if they managed to reach the center of the ridge? And in these three places, even if someone manages to reach them, it would only be a few hundred men at most; it's impossible for a large force to emerge.

Even if these people manage to sneak up, they are so far away from the front ridge that they cannot support each other at all, and will become an isolated force in an instant.

To put it bluntly, only after all the previous lines of defense have been broken down will these three weaknesses become Jiang Ziya's Achilles' heel.

But once the situation develops to that point, Jiang Ziya will naturally redeploy the troops at White Wolf Ridge in a timely manner.

Jiang Ziya understood this, and Wu Qi certainly understood it as well. Wu Qi's purpose in arranging this night raid was not to take White Wolf Ridge, but to constantly harass the Qian army on White Wolf Ridge and keep the entire White Wolf Ridge in turmoil.

In this way, conditions were created for the general offensive before Bai Qi's main force arrived.

As a striker, Wu Qi only needs to focus on his role as a striker and fulfill his responsibilities as such.

"Your subordinates obey!" Upon hearing Jiang Ziya's order, Hou Qing, Yu Yuan, and Yu Hua clasped their fists in unison.

Of the three, two were listed on the Investiture of the Gods and were affected by Jiang Ziya's skill, while only Hou Qing was unaffected.

Under Jiang Ziya's command, the three men acted very quickly, each leading only two or three hundred men, and headed directly in the direction Jiang Ziya had indicated.

After all, the number of enemy troops harassing them late at night couldn't be many, probably only a few hundred. Two or three hundred people would be enough to keep them occupied.

As long as we can keep the enemy occupied and prevent them from causing further trouble, it won't be long before countless Daqian soldiers from all directions surround us.

However, by the time Hou Qing arrived with his troops, Zhu Quan had already begun to withdraw, preparing to retreat with his forces.

Wu Qi's orders to him were simply to harass, and he himself was no fool, so of course he couldn't really wreak havoc on White Wolf Ridge with just a few hundred men.

"Han traitor, stop your escape! Leave your lives behind!" Hou Qing, who had arrived with his troops, saw that Zhu Quan's men were already retreating towards the foot of the ridge. He immediately shouted and charged forward with his halberd. Hou Qing was a figure who had emerged from the previous chaotic summoning. Although he had not been implanted into the Great Qian imperial family, he still had a close relationship with them.

He was an orphan raised from childhood by the old Celestial Being at the peak of the Celestial Realm in the Great Qian Dynasty. He not only cultivated one volume of the Divine Howling Heaven Technique, but also another secret technique of the royal family, the Heavenly One Supreme Saint Technique.

This kind of treatment is something even the most elite martial arts geniuses in the royal family wouldn't receive.

Someone like him is even more loyal to the Great Qian than the imperial family members; he has been instilled with the concept of loyalty to the Great Qian from childhood. Otherwise, why would the imperial family have devoted so much effort to cultivating him?

In this respect, even the royal family members cannot compare, as the loyalty of the royal family is based on bloodline, not on ideals instilled from childhood.

"Ignore him, you can continue your retreat!" Zhu Quan glanced at the newcomer after hearing the voice, then addressed the soldiers on both sides, instructing them to continue descending the ridge along the iron chains.

He himself, wielding a long sword, charged forward in the opposite direction, buying time for the soldiers behind him to retreat.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to be so insolent before me, Zhu Quan?" Zhu Quan roared, advancing instead of retreating, and slashing down at the barbaric Heavenly Fiend Halberd that was sweeping across him.

"Ding! Zhu Quantian's skill effect two is activated. Yao Huo Burns the Sky. As one's fighting spirit increases, one's martial power also increases. Each time it is activated, one's own martial power increases by 2, and the enemy's martial power decreases by 1. It can be activated up to four times. Each suppression can only be activated on one person."

This is the first activation; combat power +2, current combat power increased to 121.

"Ding, affected by Zhu Quantianyao's skill effect 2, Hou Qing's martial power value -1, base martial power 108, Savage Heavenly Fiend Halberd +1, Martial God +4, current martial power reduced to 112."

"Ding! Zhu Quantianyao's skill effect 3 is activated. Each activation of the Fiery Blaze - Blazing Fire of the Sky effect has a certain probability of triggering the explosive flame effect, which randomly increases the enemy's strength by 1 to 4 times."

The current burst damage is four times the normal level, and Hou Qing's martial prowess has decreased by 3, bringing his current martial prowess to 109.

Zhu Quan's negative skill effects are quite powerful. Within the range of 4 to 16 points of suppression, each point of value can trigger the effect. The lower limit is not low, and the upper limit is ridiculously high.

If some unlucky soul triggers the quadruple effect four times in a row, even many ultimate-level god-tier warriors wouldn't be able to withstand that.

"Zhu Quan?"

Upon hearing that the newcomer was actually this fierce general of the Han army, Hou Qing was both shocked and overjoyed, and the force of his halberd sweeping upwards increased by three points.

If we can take this opportunity to keep this person here, it will be a great achievement.

"Ding! Houqing Jiangzu's skill effect two has been activated. He is immortal, indestructible, and immune to all skill effects that are detrimental to him. When these effects actually affect him, he will only be able to activate half of the effect. He is completely immune to enemies below the god level."

The current martial prowess of the Minister has recovered to 111.

"Ding, Hou Qing's Evil Fiend skill activated..."
