[Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers], also known as the Eight Formations.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wolong Zhuge Kongming showed not only strategy and wisdom, but also something else that ordinary people can't reach.
In Longzhong, he borrowed arrows from a straw boat and borrowed the east wind, and sent out Zhuge's crossbows.
There are also many things and legends left by Zhuge Liang.
But the most chilling one among them is probably the Eight Formation Diagram.
So much so that Du Fu, the poet saint of later generations, commented this way:
"Three points of effort make up the country's fame and become the Eight Formations"
"The stone will not change, but I will regret it and swallow Wu."
When Liu Bei, who was about to avenge Guan Yu in Lu Xun's burning camp for 700 miles, rushed all the way to Baidi City, Lu Xun, who continued to pursue, was stopped in front of Zhuge Liang's "one hundred thousand soldiers" who had ambushed before entering Sichuan.
And what Zhuge Kongming called himself "one hundred thousand soldiers" was not something else, but the eight formations of stone soldiers that Animusfia saw in front of her.
Although there were no soldiers, one could feel the murderous aura in the sky.
Although there are only dozens of piles of strange rocks standing upright, when you climb up and look far away, you can see a portal like an eight-sided archway——————
That was what Lu Xun saw.
At first, Lu Xun thought it was just a trick used by Zhuge Kongming to confuse people in the formation, so he didn't take it to heart.
However, when it got dark and Lu Xun was about to lead his troops out, he found that there was no way to go.
Every time you walk in front of a door, there will be flying sand and rocks, and strong winds.
The sky will turn dark in an instant.
When people regain consciousness again, they will only find that they have left the portal.
If one does not walk out of the gate of life in the correct way, then the person trapped in the eight formations will live forever and will not be able to get out of the formation.
At the same time, they will continue to be harmed in the formation, and will eventually be forced to die.
Therefore, the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers are also known as the Formation of No Return.
After entering the eight formations, Lu Xun cried out in despair: "I fell into Zhuge's plan!"
Thanks to Zhuge Kongming's father-in-law Huang Chengyan, he did not follow Kongming's previous instructions - not to draw the Soochow general from the formation.
Lu Xun, who was led out of the Shengmen, was lucky enough to escape and was able to withdraw his troops to fight against Cao's army who took advantage of the emptiness in Soochow to move south.
Otherwise, the final outcome of the Three Kingdoms may belong to Wei instead of Jin.
However, that was the eight formation diagram that Lu Xun saw.
In the eight formations of stone soldiers that Animusfia saw, even though he had already known that he could break the formation simply by walking out of the gate of life, the real problem was where the "gate of life" was located.
And someone who relied on Zhuge Kongming didn't seem to leave any chance for Animusfiya to survive.
It can be said that there is death but no life.
Lu Bu's roar continued to echo around, but Animusfia couldn't see him at all.
It was impossible to tell where Lu Bu was from the sound.
But for now, this is actually a good thing.
Lu Bu, who currently has no master, should be a companion of Animusfia and Nero from a standpoint.
But in fact, after going crazy, he is no different from the enemy.
Although Animusfia needs to control Lu Bu, the time to control Lu Bu is obviously not now.
If there is a battle with Lu Bu in the eight formations, it is difficult to guarantee whether Zhuge Kongming, who is hiding in the formation, will reap the benefits.
Under the premise of completely ensuring Nero's safety, Animusfia has the confidence to fight Lu Bu.
Although it may not be possible to completely defeat Lu Bu and send him back to the Throne of Heroes, it is not too difficult to just suppress Lu Bu and calm him down again.
But if you add Zhuge Kongming, who doesn't know who is relying on him, the result will be difficult to say.
Animusfia also had to ensure Nero's safety.
And once Zhuge Kongming adds some strange weakening techniques to him, it will be questionable whether Animusfiya can check and balance Lu Bu.
Moreover, will the "United Empire" that owns the Holy Grail send only Zhuge Kongming to fight?
The answer is obviously no.
Now Animusfia only hopes that Jing Ke can delay Zhuge Kongming and the heroic spirits who came with him as much as possible.
A weight like a huge boulder was suddenly placed on Animusfia's body.
The sudden pressure made him fall down.
After staggering a few steps, he barely got used to the pressure and did not fall to his knees.
Thanks to Animusfia becoming a pseudo-servant, her physical condition is much better than before.
Otherwise, if it were still the body of an ordinary person before, Animusfiya might have fallen under the first wave of attacks from these eight formation diagrams.
Lu Bu's roar could be heard in his ears, and it was clear that the anger in it was even stronger.
It seemed that he was also attacked by the Eighth Formation of Stone Soldiers at the same time.
Animusfia quickly looked at Nero beside her.
The situation of Rome's Rose Emperor is also not optimistic at the moment. Although he has been strengthened by the emperor's privileges, Nero is not a follower after all.
The body is still in the state of a mortal, and it is inevitable that it will be damaged when facing the pressure from the Eight Stone Soldiers.
Animusfia frowned as she looked at the young emperor struggling to support herself under the heavy pressure.
If this continues, Nero will be unable to hold on before he breaks the formation.
"His Majesty."
"It's okay, Yu is fine."
Nero still gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Mercury'---"
Silver light lit up from Animusfia and Nero.
"Mercury magic can temporarily offset the curse on me and you, but this curse will increase as time goes by, and it cannot be lifted as long as we are still in this formation——"
Feeling the pressure lessening on his body, Nero listened quietly to Animusfia's words.
"If you really can't hold on, please let me know at that time."
"Hmm..."
Nero nodded silently.
As a result, she ended up having to rely on the animus.
After temporarily solving the curse problem of the Eight Formation Diagram, Animusfia reconsidered the issue of the Shengmen.
Although Zhou Yu fought with Kong Ming during his lifetime, he died young without truly seeing the power of the Eight Formations.
Lu Xun, who was also the governor of the Eight Formations, was missing Lu Meng.
The method of breaking through the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers only came from Animusfia's own knowledge.
Thanks to Huang Chengyan's help, Lu Xun escaped from Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations.
Thanks to this, we were able to turn our troops back to Soochow in time to resist Cao Pi's army that went south to reap the benefits.
Perhaps this is also in Zhuge Kongming's calculation.
From the beginning, Huang Chengyan had no reason and did not abandon Zhuge Kongming who married his daughter.
Zhuge Liang knew that even if Lu Xun walked out of the Eight Formations, he would not continue to pursue Liu Bei who was trapped in Baidi City.
But once Lu Xun was trapped and killed in the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation, Soochow would be destroyed in an instant.
At that time, could Ji Han still face Cao Wei, who had an overwhelming advantage?
He may use all the power of the two rivers to annihilate Cao Wei and Keding the Central Plains, but he will certainly not sit back and watch Cao Wei annex Sun Wu.
Zhuge Liang, who had spent his whole life dividing the world, might have informed his father-in-law that he deliberately let Lu Xun go in order to maintain the balance of the Three Kingdoms.
So the only door to life that Lu Xun found was not actually a "door".
"Is it Huang Chengyan..."
And Zhuge Kongming's so-called "don't release the generals from Soochow" should actually be "lead out the generals from Soochow".
It can be said that the "Shengmen" that Lu Xun found was deliberately placed there by Zhuge Kongming.
"Didn't you leave any survivors for us this time?"
Animusfia muttered to herself with a somewhat ugly expression.
If so——————
With the almost invincible Noble Phantasm and the support of the infinite magic power of the Holy Grail, someone relying on Zhuge Kongming's spiritual foundation can now be said to be truly invincible.
But is that really possible?
Animusfia looked back at the portal that was obviously missing one side.
If there were no students like this, the formation that was supposed to coincide with the Bagua would not have been established from the beginning.
"Roar-----!"
A harsh roar sounded like some kind of wild beast.
That's Lu Bu.
Different from the past, this time the roar can accurately determine the direction.
Right behind Animusfia and Nero.
The magic contained in the roar even hurts the eardrums.
Even the roar itself became an attack.
Covered in blood and body parts, Lu Bu appeared in front of Animusfia like a demon in hell.
