Throughout Lu Bu's life, although he was once the all-powerful hero, he still occupied a place even in the late Han Dynasty when all heroes came together.
He even left a reputation as Lu Bu among men and Red Rabbit among horses.
But Lu Bu's life was also a life played by power and policy.
First, he betrayed his foster father Ding Yuan under Li Su's instigation, and then betrayed his foster father Dong Zhuo under Wang Yun's beauty trap.
After finally killing Dong Zhuo and gaining a foothold with Situ Wang Yun in Chang'an City, he was defeated by Jia Xu's poisonous plan dedicated to Li Jue and Guo Si. Wang Yun was killed and Lu Bu was forced to flee Chang'an.
After that, Lu Bu, who was separated between brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, was still jealous. Both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were wary of Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao even organized an assassination attempt on Lu Bu, who was under his command at the time, but failed.
Since encountering Chen Gong, Lu Bu has not been able to gain Chen Gong's 100% loyalty.
Compared with the master, Lu Bu is more like a weapon under Chen Gong.
Chen Gong, who was guarding Yanzhou for Cao Cao with brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, took almost the entire city of Yanzhou to seek refuge with the displaced Lu Bu.
Judging from the strength, it is appropriate to say that Lu Bu came to seek refuge with Chen Gong.
But Cao Cao is not a being who can swallow this breath willingly.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong quickly retreated under Cao Cao's offensive, gave up their territory in Yanzhou, and defected to Liu Bei, who succeeded Tao Qian in charge of Xuzhou.
One of the two brothers, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, was annihilated by three clans, and the other died in a mutiny and was sacrificed to Cao Cao by his soldiers.
Later, he betrayed Liu Bei because of the conditions given by Yuan Shu, and was almost framed by Chen Gong and Yuan Shu.
In the end, Guo Jia's plan flooded Xiapi and trapped him in Xiapi City, unable to advance or retreat. He was captured alive and died on the Baimen Tower.
Lu Bu's life may really be as non-combative as he said when he fired his halberd at the gate.
But being born into a world of betrayal, he was inevitably involved in the struggle.
Or maybe Lu Bu, who was unwilling to be ordinary, took the initiative to get involved in the dispute.
If you look carefully, Lu Bu's life has been confused by strategies and conspiracies.
Even with the courage to defeat thousands of people, it is still of no avail.
Even now that I have become a heroic spirit——————
Still the same.
If Lu Bu really has any weakness in that person, then conspiracy and conspiracy are probably the only things that can be considered.
Magic power was continuously transported from the dark magic beam behind Lu Bu to his spirit body.
That doesn't come without a price.
Of course, Animusfia couldn't just give her magic power to Lu Bu for nothing and make him go crazy.
For the sake of his own life, he was unwilling to become Lu Bu's master, let alone Nero.
This is the same even if Lu Bu is now a Berserker who is much easier to control.
So how to control Lu Bu?
The magic beam connected by Animusfia behind Lu Bu is the best embodiment of his control.
The real Lu Bu's consciousness is still firmly frozen deep in the spiritual base by Animusfia using Saturn magic.
And he used [strategic advice] to mobilize and guide Lu Bu's subconscious, and used his magic power to control Lu Bu like some kind of moving biological fortress.
Thanks to Zhou Yu's role as Sun Ce's entrusted minister to Sun Quan during his lifetime, he still had a great degree of decision-making power over Soochow even after Sun Quan had reached adulthood.
Therefore, Zhou Yu's "loyalty advice to the military advisor" can be evolved into "loyalty advice to the lord" to a certain extent.
Just like Chen Gong's control over Lu Bu.
Perhaps Animusfia controlled Nero unknowingly because of the influence of this skill.
probably.
At least Animusfia himself felt that he did not have the ability to be a powerful minister to that extent.
should not.
"I'm sorry, Marquis Wen."
Silently reciting her apology to Lu Bu in her heart, Animusfiya also turned into a villain who manipulated Lu Bu's miserable life.
After all, he still saw what happened to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.
And I am afraid that Lu Bu's previous madness was also related to Zhuge Kongming, who was also a military advisor.
Although Wolong's loyalty is legendary and cannot be effectively manipulated as a friend, Zhuge Kongming is more than enough to manipulate Lu Bu as an enemy.
What a good calculation.
Looking at El-Melloi II Animusfia who was charging with Iskandar not far away but was blocked by Lu Bu, he couldn't help but think so.
But that II probably didn't know that Animusfia had completely penetrated the essence of the Eight Stone Soldiers Formation.
Or maybe now he can't do anything even if he knows.
Under the general guidance of Animusfia's magic power, Lu Bu followed his instinct and waved the weapon in his hand.
To be honest, if Animusfia said that she was second when it came to controlling the body with magical power, I'm afraid no one could be the first.
Nothing but familiarity.
At first he couldn't even ring the doorbell, but now he can imitate and become a normal person.
Lu Bu lost his mind and lost a lot, including military strategy and martial arts. Now controlled by Animusfia, Lu Bu could not even change the five weapons of the God of War in his hand.
However, even the Fang Tian Painted Halberd wielded normally has full power under Lu Bu's powerful body like a living fortress.
Just a few ordinary horizontal slashes and slashes completely disrupted Iskandar's king's army.
It was obviously just a strong man like an iron tower standing there, but Iskandar felt that no matter how many soldiers there were, he could not overcome it.
"whispering sound."
El-Melloi II frowned and looked at Lu Bu in front of him.
Even with the job of berserker, it would be very difficult for Iskandar and him to defeat Lu Bu in his current state.
Even Iskandar in his heyday may not be able to win easily.
Otherwise, El-Melloi II would not have gone to great lengths to transform Lu Bu from the enemy into an uncontrollable element on the battlefield to weaken the enemy's combat power.
The fact that the king's army summoned by Iskandar included him was actually included in the expectations of El-Melloi II under Zhuge Kongming's calculations.
However, El-Melloi II failed to anticipate that Animusfia could manipulate Lu Bu.
It was expected by El-Melloi II that Lu Bu would be suppressed or lose control.
But only Animusfia's magic and its servants exceeded his expectations.
That is a variable that even Qimen Dunjia cannot predict.
Now the battlefield he expected had changed from Lu Bu's attack without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy to a one-sided disadvantage.
Fang Tian's painted halberd hit hard where El-Melloi II was standing, and yellow sand and marble fragments flew around.
This was not over yet, a pillar of fire reaching the sky then emerged from the huge crater created by Fang Tian's painted halberd.
"Rider, we need to deal with Lu Bu first."
El-Melloi II, who was pulled back on the horse by Iskandar's collar, was wary of him.
"Does this need to be said?"
Lema forced Bucephalas to stop Iskandar, who had narrowly avoided Lu Bu's sweep, and said loudly.
Iskandar could certainly see that Lu Bu was a huge obstacle to him continuing to charge, continue to advance, and continue to conquer.
The surrounding Roman soldiers have also surrounded them again, taking advantage of their numbers again.
The discovery of the problem is certainly not a problem.
The question is, how to solve the problem.
Iskandar looked at Nero who was Animusfia on the high stage of the theater not far away, surrounded by many soldiers, with a wry smile on his lips.
"It looks like it's over here, Weber."
His spiritual power was approaching its limit.
In fact, cracks have appeared on Iskandar's body. The blue-white light of the magic power and the electric light dancing underneath seem to have filled the gaps, but in fact they have not filled them up at all.
Even the magic power filled in his body due to the Holy Grail caused Iskandar to maintain the balance of magic power between his spiritual base and the outside world.
It's like a high-pressure water pump full of cracks.
Even if Iskandar returns to the Hall of Valor in the next moment, it will not be an unexpected ending for him.
Jing Ke's Dagger of No Return had a great impact on the conquerors, especially him, the conquering king.
"That's not your style, Rider."
After being silent for a moment while dodging, El-Melloi II suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Regarding El-Melloi II's sudden change of tone, Iskandar sounded confused.
"Rider, will your conquests cease?"
"Hahahahahaha, what nonsense is that? How can I stop my conquest of Iskandar?"
"Then, let's continue that conquest——————!"
El-Melloi II suddenly jumped off Busifaras' horse, then waved forward, and with his movements, several beams of light shot straight towards Lu Bu in front of him.
"Help [the King] open up the final road and let Alexander's King's Army (Ionian Hetairoi) come into play!"
Immediately behind the beam of light were the only remaining companion cavalry and silver shields behind Iskandar and El-Melloi II.
Ignoring the sharp blade swung at him and the huge pillar of fire pouring out from the ground.
The golden snake, whose luster had become slightly dim, still swallowed up Lu Bu, who was entangled in countless diseased palms.
However, after a roar, the giant golden snake and its palm were chopped into pieces by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, who looked like a god of war, walked out of the giant snake's belly unscathed and continued to attack other members of the king's army without any pause.
The king's army also rushed towards Lu Bu who was blocking them like a mountain without any hesitation.
Even if the chariot of the sun was split in half in the air, or if many soldiers were cut in half with one blow.
More soldiers and generals, and even El-Melloi II himself, flocked to Lu Bu.
"you......"
Iskandar looked at the king's army behind him who was using everything to hinder Lu Bu, and showed a complicated expression.
But then, he looked at Nero directly in front of him with an extremely proud smile on his face.
"Okay! These are the subjects who follow me, Iskandar!"
While drinking loudly, he drove Buciferas without looking back, trampling the Roman soldiers with thunder, and launched the final attack on Nero.
Even if it comes to an end, his journey to Iskandar will definitely end on the road of conquest.
And Nero was already ready with his sword, as if he was deliberately waiting for Iskandar's arrival, ready to fight.
The power that bursts out from the blade of the Primordial Fire can no longer be counted as "fire".
If it had to be counted as a flame, then Animusfia had only seen such a large flame when a rocket was launched into outer space.
As for where Animusfia is at the moment?
Standing out from the thunder that struck down like a torrential rain was none other than Animusfia, holding the Spear of Ouranos in one hand.
The incomplete part of his other prosthetic limb that was cut off by Lu Bu before extended several thick magic beams and finally extended to Lu Bu's back.
It's like Lu Bu, the best general in the world during the late Han Dynasty, was just a vicious dog in the hands of Animusfia.
That's probably true.
Animusfia's thunder defeated the successors of the king's army who were finally able to delay Lu Bu.
"....we lose."
Looking at Animusfia in front of him, El-Melloi II admitted as if he had lived for a hundred years and struggled for half his life but finally recognized him as an ordinary old man.
"Kong Ming has suffered many defeats, not more than this one."
Manipulating Lu Bu and the soldiers to continue strangling the surrounding companion cavalry and Silver Shields, Animusfia himself walked in front of El-Melloi II. "
"...Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, it's really a bad fate. And it seems that you know me personally, so this is the last question——Who are you?"
"That's a boring question, II. If you insist on asking, it's better to ask me where I come from and where I'm going - but don't worry, you don't know me that well. ...It’s just that I’ve heard of a famous person like you.”
"Yeah....."
El-Melloi II closed his eyes, raised his head and muttered quietly.
"But if you stop Rider now, you can win even more beautifully."
"I think so too, but my Majesty thinks I am more suitable to appear here."
Animusfia waved her incomplete left arm slightly, and Lu Bu, who together with the soldiers wiped out all the remaining servants of the king's army, jumped back to him.
The ground, which had changed from yellow sand to gorgeous marble, was cracked by steps, but then began to recover under the influence of some powerful force.
"My Majesty has his own definition of what is perfect and beautiful."
Animusfia turned sideways to block the sight of El-Melloi II.
Then El-Melloi II saw Iscandar, his body flashing with thunder and lightning, walking among a group of Roman soldiers who gave way to the road.
Stairs of glory appeared at the feet of Bucephalas according to Nero's wishes, and Iskandar was gradually led onto a path that stood above everyone else and belonged exclusively to the conquering king.
And at the end of the road, there was Nero waiting with a sword.
In the end, the thunder and fire collided together, and the huge magic power fluctuation made everyone present, including Animusfia, unable to stand for a while.
But Nero's golden theater remained motionless and even more dazzling.
The outcome has already been decided.
"It seems that your master also lost——————"
Animusfia blocked El-Melloi II's sight again.
"So is there anything else you want to say?"
"snort."
El-Melloi II closed his eyes and chuckled indifferently.
The reappearance of conquest and military power here satisfied him enough.
It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he can go to El-Melloi II with Iskandar again, his wish will be fulfilled.
However, he still had a question to ask.
"...How are you going to break my Eight Formation Diagram?"
"Ah, this."
Animusfia smiled apologetically, and then without changing her expression, she inserted the Spear of Ouranos into Lu Bu's spiritual core beside her.
Lu Bu's body, as strong as a mountain peak, began to collapse backwards in the next moment.
And the seven huge portals standing around began to collapse as Lu Bu fell.
"Sure enough, I noticed it."
"Of course, Zhuge Kongming's Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers once trapped Lu Xun. If not for the help of Kong Ming's father-in-law Huang Chengyan, I might not have been able to get out of the Eight Formations in this life."
Trapping Lu Xun to death in the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers could certainly severely damage Soochow, but the subsequent invasion of Cao Wei made Soochow's survival critical.
Zhuge Liang, who spent his whole life planning a three-legged alliance, naturally would not sit back and watch Soochow's demise.
"For Lu Xun, the real disciple is Huang Chengyan. Then for me, the real disciple is clearly visible on the page."
Why did Iskandar pull Lu Bu into his inherent barrier, and why did El-Melloi II reveal his whereabouts as soon as he subdued Lu Bu.
These answers can all be revealed at this moment by the conclusion that "Lu Bu is the disciple".
I am afraid that El-Melloi II even gave Lu Bu the task of "telling the direction of the living gate" to Lu Bu, so Lu Bu kept wandering in the formation while moving towards Animusfia.
However, unlike Huang Chengyan who was able to communicate, Lu Bu had difficulty even distinguishing between himself and me, so the location of the disciples was basically never told to Animusfia.
Under normal circumstances, Animusfia would not think of removing a member of his lineup to try to break the formation.
"What a good calculation."
Animusfia sighed, and used the Spear of Ouranos to also penetrate the spiritual core of El-Melloi II in front of her.
However.
"You lost this time, Kong Ming."
Turning into little bits of stardust, after sighing, El-Melloi II disappeared into this singular point.
While sighing, Nero had already walked to Animusfia's side.
After defeating the conquering king Iskandar, she lifted the existence of the Golden Theater, and the normal sky with a slight white tint finally reappeared in front of them.
Even though there was a huge ring in the sky as an obstacle, Animusfia even felt a sense of intimacy with the ring.
Not to mention the long-lost sky and comfortable air.
The depressing feeling of being in the Eighth Formation of Stone Soldiers and the sense of death in the wasteland of Iskandar are not something ordinary people can bear.
Compared with the first two, the broken terrain created by magic where Animusfia is now seems to be as beautiful as heaven.
"Yu and you are victorious, Governor."
Nero took Animusfia's hand again.
"Ah, we have won for now...Your Majesty, but your hand————?"
"don't want."
"I guess so."
Animusfia had no choice but to clench the slender palm in her hand in response.
But it’s not that helpless.
