The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2878: Stealing Formations (part 2)

Yan Zhu’s gaze was indifferent, "You and I are Shamans, our character is determined by the ’Divine Will’ we serve, this is fate."

After saying that, Yan Zhu no longer paid attention to Qing Zhu and turned away.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to Qing Zhu:

"Don’t forget, we’re both trapped by famine in this Barbarian Wilderness. It’s the right thing to resolve the calamity of the Wujiu Tribe quickly and find a way back to the Royal Court; otherwise, there’s no point in fighting endlessly."

"We are Shamans serving the Royal Court, even in death, we must die in the Royal Court."

Yan Zhu said coldly, then left, leaving Qing Zhu standing alone in place.

Qing Zhu stood still for a long time, then sighed softly, "Yes, even in death... you must die in the Royal Court..."

"However, this time it’s truly different..."

Qing Zhu’s hand touched his abdomen, murmuring complexly, "This is my last chance in this life..."

...

For several months afterward, warfare between the tribes continued, the battles were fierce.

But these were barely related to Mo Hua.

Killing was someone else’s responsibility, he was only responsible for constructing the formations in the rear.

Including building some Architectural Formations for the Barbarian wars, optimizing formation structures for siege equipment, and the internal Formation Patterns of Barbarian Armor and Artifacts used in tribal wars, etc.

Originally, the application of Formations in Barbarian warfare wasn’t thorough.

But now, after Mo Hua’s improvements, Formations nearly infiltrated all corners of tribal alliance wars.

This was Mo Hua’s first time practicing Formations in a major war.

How to systematically apply Formations in larger scale, larger forces, and larger range wars to enhance military strength and increase chances of victory.

How to use all the profound and complex knowledge of Formations learned throughout his life to drive wars, optimize war tools, from macro to micro, from large war equipment to small Barbarian Armor, from attack, defense, to warning, concealment, full-spectrum amplifications for war.

This was what Mo Hua had to do.

Strictly speaking, this war’s Formation practice didn’t meet Mo Hua’s expectations.

After all, it was the Great Wilderness, with many limited resources, many constraints, preventing him from going all out without concern...

But it provided Mo Hua with a lot of practical experience, offering feasible ideas for him to create and iterate higher-end Tao Cultivation war Formation systems in the future, laying a solid foundation.

These changes in warfare, Chief Dan Lie as the alliance leader, personally coordinating the war, felt them most deeply.

This was a completely different Barbarian war from anything he’d experienced in the first half of his life.

Although outwardly it looked the same, all were equipment sieges, Barbarian Army charges, but the internal Formation driving force, the whole system seemed "reborn".

The other Great Chiefs, including Yan Zhu and Qing Zhu, could more or less feel the difference.

But whether leading the charge heavily in love with killing, or having ulterior motives, being strong-minded, they were inherently less sensitive to Holy Patterns and Formations, and didn’t really know what kind of experiments Mo Hua was conducting in this.

Furthermore, the Wujiu Tribe was truly too strong.

The Young Master of Wujiu was also an uncommon talent, strategically astute and powerful, with countless Golden Core Strong People left.

The alliance of Chieftains felt significant pressure, wishing their Barbarian Armor were stronger, weapons sharper, equipment more potent, therefore thinking nothing else.

Little did they know, in some sense, they were all Mo Hua’s "guinea pigs".

They were "equipment" for Mo Hua’s Formation experiments.

As the conflict intensified gradually.

The fighting grew increasingly fierce.

The battles nearly entered a fever pitch.

Various tribes became increasingly busy, investing tremendous finances and military forces for a decisive battle with Wujiu Tribe.

Mo Hua himself, conversely, suddenly became "idle".

Because he had already built the framework of the main Formations.

Every problem solvable by Formations had been defined, some Formation Patterns had also been given set forms.

As a Formation Master, he had done everything he could, the bloody battles were now left for others to handle.

Amidst the fever-pitched stage of the conflict, where brain matter was about to spill out and they couldn’t focus on anything else, Mo Hua also began to plot some personal matters.

Firstly, collecting Formations, especially the internal Formations of various tribes’ Barbarian Armor.

Initially, Mo Hua could only handle the casting of some "ordinary" Barbarian Armor.

These Barbarian Armors weren’t considered confidential.

The truly confidential Barbarian Armor Formation Patterns, Mo Hua couldn’t even touch.

It wasn’t just the Bi Fang Tribe, even Danque Tribe, Flame Wing Tribe, Red Simurgh Tribe... etc., all Vermilion Bird Mountain Tribes wouldn’t expose the core Formation Patterns of their Barbarian Armor to Mo Hua.

They guarded against Mo Hua like he was a "thief".

Turns out, they were right to do so, Mo Hua indeed was a "thief", and a "big one" at that.

Initially, they did manage to guard against Mo Hua.

But as the war escalated, many things became out of their control.

General Barbarian Armor, even if "mass-produced", simply couldn’t withstand Wujiu Tribe.

Various tribes had no choice but to entrust Mo Hua with the casting methods of some cherished top-grade Barbarian Armors, particularly the core Formations for overseeing and designing.

Though these tribe Great Chiefs placed "seals" on these Formations, implemented various confidentiality measures, and demanded Mo Hua swear not to pry and leak these Formations.
