Dongfang Yan frowned. "It's fine, why are you competing?"

"Does Your Highness still remember the < Wind Queen's Eight Arrays Military Art Diagram >?"

Dongfang Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "I remember. I bought it from a travelling merchant at a high price. You once said that the formations recorded in it were very profound. If you could study it thoroughly, it would be of great help in the field of war." At this point, his expression changed. "You figured out those formations?"

"These nine formations have gathered the intelligence of our ancestors. Although Thousandsnow has studied them for a long time, he was still unable to thoroughly understand them." Worry flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said: "However, I managed to comprehend a simple and effective formation from within. Because three people are a group, I named it the Three-forced Array."

"Three-forced Array..." Dongfang Ze walked around Ah Jiu and the other two, rubbed his chin and said, "I know a bit about the Dao of Formation, if it is used well, it can do twice as much work with half the effort, but..." "Xu Li and A'Xin only have rough martial skills, and nineteen can only display ten or twenty percent of their power. Even with the augmentation formation, it would not be difficult for me to injure them; not to mention, they've only been practicing for half a day. They're definitely going to lose."

In response to his words, Mu Qianxue only smiled, "Since the Nine Kings are so confident, let's begin now."

"Since the princess is adamant, please accompany me. Sabers and swords are blind, please forgive me if I am injured!" After the servant lit up the incense, he flicked his sword, which was as clear as autumn water, and in the next moment, his feet stopped. The sword's edge pierced through the air, and like a meteor catching up to the moon, it pierced towards the nervous Xu Li.

Even though Mu Qianxue said that she would control her strength, she, who came from the Divine Battalion and had fought her way out from the pile of corpses, was still far superior to Xu Li and his companion.

The tip of the sword continued to tremble, and just as it was about to pierce Xu Li, Dongfang Ze's vision suddenly blurred. When he could see clearly again, the person in front of him had already turned nineteen. The longsword in his hand trembled, and with a "clang", it was forcefully blown away, extinguishing Dongfang Ze's idea of winning with a single move.

While Dongfang Ze was changing moves, Nineteen turned his head and said, "Calm down. Just do as Princess has taught you."

"Yes." As Xu Li and Dong Fang Ze calmed down, the pressure felt by Dongfang Ze grew greater and greater. No matter how he attacked, he was unable to break through the defense of the three as one and was instead forced back step by step.

This was really strange, even with the three of them, their combined power was not even half of his, yet the one at a disadvantage was him, Three-forced Array … Was it really that magical?

The latter wanted to dodge but was already too late, seeing that she was about to lose. A stone accurately hit the nineteenth sword, causing her to lose her aim, and then, several stone fragments successively attacked the three of them. The angle was very tricky, and the originally airtight defense gradually broke into pieces, and before long, Xu Li's shoulder was hit.

After using the last stone to knock down the sword in A Xin's hand, Dong Fang clapped his hands and said lightly: "The Three-forced Array truly does have its own unique features. Clearly, there are three of them.

"No wonder I couldn't win just now." No wonder I couldn't win just now. Suddenly, Dongfang Ze's face filled with curiosity. "I just don't understand. It's just three people, how did it become the strength of nine people?"

"Formation techniques and mechanical techniques are both mysterious and unfathomable." After replying, Dongfang Qing once again looked at the silent Mu Qianxue and said seriously, "The main reason why this formation has this kind of effect is because of their footwork, the Form Displacement Transposition, and how unexpected it is; but this footwork is not complicated at all. As long as those who are close to the formation carefully observe, they will be able to feel out the rules and break the formation."

Mu Qianxue sighed and nodded, "The [Eight Arrays Soldier Diagram] that Your Highness obtained is not complete. To be exact, it is only half a book, so the amount of things that I can comprehend is very limited."

"Half a book?" "Didn't you tell me that all nine of the formation diagrams were complete?"

Mu Qianxue smiled bitterly and said, "I thought this map was complete as well, but after careful study, I realized that each of the seemingly complete diagrams was actually only half a page. I think that the ancestors were afraid that this map would be lost in the hands of someone who had ulterior motives, and that it would cause a calamity to befall upon them, thus breaking it into two copies. Only by finding the other half can one make up for the loss of the blood and sweat within the painting, and truly use the nine formations as well as the Three-forced Array."

Dongfang Zhi saw the black color in her eyes and knew that she must have stayed up all night to study the Three-forced Array. He forcefully suppressed the pity in her chest and said coldly: "So, the Three-forced Array is just a useless array?"

"Although the Three-forced Array is incomplete, His Majesty does not understand the formation technique, so I believe that it is enough to fool him. There are still nine days until the battle, and in nine days, Thousand-Snow will definitely complete the formation technique for Your Highness!"

Dongfang Qin sneered coldly, "If I'm not wrong, this military art has been in the hands of the princess for several months. In such a long time, she's only been able to come up with an incomplete magic formation, and now she says she's going to repair it within nine days. Don't you think it's laughable?"

"Since I've promised Your Highness, I will definitely do it!" Before Mu Qianxue had even finished speaking, Dongfang Yi had already raised her voice and said, "There's no need. This king will naturally think of a way to lead a soldier. There's no need for Princess to worry."

Xia Yue frowned: "For the sake of the Three-forced Array, the princess was only able to sleep for a few days, and last night, she was unable to sleep at all. It's fine if the prince is not grateful, but to be so ridiculing, isn't that a bit too much!"

Dongfang Yi walked up to her and raised his eyebrows. "When has it been your turn to ask about this duke's matters, little girl?"

Dongfang Ze quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Xia Yue has always been a straightforward girl, don't blame her, Seventh Brother. Speaking of which, the princess has always been witty. Maybe she can make up for this formation within nine days. How about …"

"Do you know that on the battlefield, the worst thing you can do is to say 'maybe'. Once you make the wrong decision, you will have to pay the price of thousands of soldiers' lives and the families behind them."

"But …"

"Enough!" After interrupting Dongfang Ze once again, Dongfang Qing spoke without hesitation, "Princess, thank you for your kind intentions. This duke has already made up his mind to lead this life. Princess, no need to trouble yourself any further." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, not even hesitating for a moment.

"Don't be angry Princess, Seventh Brother is just …" "But …" Dongfang Ze thought for a long time, but still didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say what Dongfang Qing was truly thinking.
