The members of the Demon Alliance all glared angrily, their faces filled with rage.
Having long been discriminated against and oppressed, they were already filled with resentment. They never expected that the military would openly declare war on them, which undoubtedly ignited their anger.
Sensing the military's undisguised hostility and formation, the demons instantly entered a state of high alert, their energy surging.
"A demon-slaying formation? I knew you had this trick up your sleeve!"
The Rock Demon King snorted, completely enraged, and roared like thunder:
"Very well, since you dared to launch the first attack, today we will show you the strength of my Demon Alliance."
As he spoke, the stones all over his body rapidly rose up, soon piling up like small mountains, instantly increasing his size. Any movement he made caused the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.
The Rock Demon King patted his stone-covered belly, grinning maliciously as he looked at Zhou Xuan:
"Hmph, don't forget we're prepared too; we also know how to use formations!"
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he forcefully waved his hand at the demon clan members behind him:
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"
Under Zhou Xuan's incredulous gaze, the demon race responded quickly, taking their positions in various parts of the formation and rapidly forming a new great formation to counter the military's demon-slaying formation.
The two forces clashed fiercely in the air, like two giant dark clouds squeezing and rubbing against each other, sparking bursts of energy.
This breathtaking scene of the great battle attracted the full attention of Li Yu, who had been watching from the observation deck.
He couldn't help but concentrate, his eyes fixed on the two opposing formations, observing them more closely.
"Is this an array?" Li Yu murmured to himself.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the world of the painting that the assassin had pulled him into.
He clearly remembered that after the undead in the paintings formed an array, their attack and defense capabilities were greatly enhanced, as if they possessed a powerful, cohesive force, and even the damage they suffered could be shared.
Zhou Xuan had previously formed a large formation in front of the swamp's pink mist. At the time, Li Yu thought that only those military personnel, with their special training and resources, were capable of forming such a formation.
But now it seems that not only those people from the Central Plains Military Command can use the great formation, but even these half-human demons can skillfully set up the same powerful great formation.
Doesn't that mean his seven regiments can also use a large formation?
A thought suddenly struck Li Yu, and his gaze quickly swept over the people maintaining the great formation.
Upon closer observation, it was discovered that all those who formed the great formation were, without exception, awakened individuals with some strength.
This is not surprising, since operating such a large formation obviously requires more than just ordinary awakened individuals; the stronger the better.
Moreover, these awakened beings are continuously injecting their own energy into the great formation, as if they are the power source that keeps the formation running.
At the core of the two great formations stood Zhou Xuan and the Rock Demon King, respectively.
The two of them were like the central nervous system of their respective great formations, able to mobilize all the energy in the formations at will for attack and defense.
"It seems that maintaining the great formation requires the energy supply of awakened beings. This is the power source for the formation to operate, and it has nothing to do with the identity and strength of the controller," Li Yu thought to himself.
Li Yu wasn't too worried about the fact that only awakened individuals could form the array.
You should know that his Seventh Regiment lacks everything except awakened individuals.
Li Yu also discovered that in the confrontation between the two formations, it seemed that the more people involved in forming the formation, the more obvious the advantage of the formation became.
This is also why, although the demon race's grand formation was countered by the formation itself, it was still able to suppress Zhou Xuan.
Because the number of reinforcements sent by the Demon Alliance this time completely exceeded the number of Awakened Ones from the military.
In terms of sheer numbers, Li Yu had even less to worry about.
After all, the Seventh Regiment has a large number of members, which is a major advantage for him.
Moreover, he can replenish the refugees at any time and continuously cultivate new awakened individuals, which undoubtedly provides a solid guarantee for supporting the great formation.
Li Yu's gaze was fixed on the two large formations fiercely clashing in the distance, as he pondered thoughtfully:
"Array formations are truly wonderful things."
He knew that once he mastered the formation, it would be like having a powerful weapon that could be used by everyone, and this weapon would definitely play a huge role at crucial moments.
You may not need to use formations, but you absolutely cannot be ignorant of them.
As long as everyone in the Seventh Regiment learns the great formation, there won't be much to worry about on their future migration journey.
At this moment, the Rock Demon King on the swamp was concentrating on controlling the great formation, engaging in a fierce collision and compression with the military's great formation.
Although neither side has officially launched a full-scale attack, their two great formations have already acted like two domes, isolating everything outside and forming two independent spaces.
Beside the Rock Demon King, the Leopard Demon King sneered disdainfully at Zhou Xuan:
"Although the formations are evenly matched, it seems you don't have as many people as we do."
Having said that, he flashed like a ghost and instantly appeared at the weak point behind the military formation.
His sharp claws shot out like blades as he unleashed a fierce attack on the demon-slaying formation with all his might.
"Thump, thump."
With two muffled impacts, the military formation swayed slightly, but was not broken by the Leopard Demon King.
After all, with the combined efforts of everyone in the military, the Leopard Demon King's seemingly ferocious attack was not enough to pose any threat to the great formation.
Just then, the stunningly beautiful woman with fox-like eyes frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the outcome.
This slight displeasure vanished in an instant, and her face quickly returned to calm.
After a moment's thought, the fox woman realized that since she had already chosen to support the demon race in their struggle for the dragon vein, she could no longer remain neutral and had no choice but to lend a hand.
She stood on two vibrant, fresh flowers, her figure light and graceful as she floated to the front of the military formation. She elegantly raised her hand and waved it gently in front of her eyes, revealing her tall and captivating eyebrows and eyes.
In an instant, the awakened soldiers at the edge of the demon-slaying formation suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
They were like puppets whose souls had been taken away, powerless to resist, collapsing limply to the ground.
"Don't panic, stay calm!" Zhou Xuan was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly shouted loudly.
He quickly directed the others to adjust their positions to maintain the formation's operation and prevent any obvious weaknesses from appearing.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan's mind raced, instantly recalling detailed information about the various demon kings of the Demon Alliance:
"Fox eyes, flowers at the feet..."
"She is Qingni!"
Zhou Xuan immediately recognized the fox-woman's identity and hurriedly shouted a reminder to the military personnel in the formation:
"It's a charm technique!"
"Everyone be careful, don't look at her face!"
