The spear broke through the air and stabbed at the dazed demon mantis with a sharp scream. The speed was so fast that Chu Nan had no time to speak.
Ding~
The tip of the spear pierced the body of the demon mantis, and there was a frightening sound of gold and iron. The place where the spear was hit still appeared broken. The demon mantis was shaken by the huge force and took a few steps back. A pair of dark eyes.
Looking at Hou Cheng, a roar suddenly erupted from his mouth, his voice full of anger, and two sickle-like blades struck at Hou Cheng.
Hou Cheng sneered and took a step back. His two swords were blocked by the air wall. When he was about to strike again, Chu Nan quickly said: "Stop!"
Hou Cheng and Demon Mantis paused at the same time and looked at Chu Nan.
"Mantis, retreat!" Chu Nan looked at the demon mantis and said in a deep voice.
"Hiss~" The demon mantis hissed towards Chu Nan.
Naturally, they couldn't understand it, but everyone could hear a sense of grievance.
"General Hou, withdraw your troops." Chu Nan confirmed that Demon Mantis was still under his control, and its dependence on him had not diminished, and had even become stronger.
"Are you sure you can control it?" Hou Cheng frowned and looked at Chu Nan.
Chu Nan didn't say anything and walked straight towards the demon mantis. The air wall could trap the demon mantis, but it had no effect on Chu Nan and could penetrate directly.
"Be careful!" Hou Cheng saw Chu Nan pass through the air wall and appear directly in front of the demon mantis. He subconsciously wanted to take action, but was shocked to see Chu Nan wave to the demon mantis after entering. That was not a good look.
The demonic mantis provoked turned into a green light after seeing Chu Nan, and finally turned into a small palm-sized mantis and flew to Chu Nan's shoulder.
The evolved demon mantis can switch between combat and non-combat forms at will, and the size of its body can also be controlled at will. Just like now, it is only the size of a palm, lying on Chu Nan's shoulder, which makes Chu Nan a little bit overjoyed.
, in this way, it is also easy to hide.
"General Hou, don't worry, it won't hurt anyone." Chu Nan looked at Hou Chengdao.
"Withdraw!" Hou Cheng glanced at the mantis lying on Chu Nan's shoulder, waving its claws at him, and waved his hand.
The soldiers around him then withdrew, and many people looked towards Chu Nan curiously.
"Mr. Chu, your monster seems to be different from the monsters raised by others." Hou Cheng, Chu Nan, and Cao Xing walked back together, looking at the mantis from time to time, the envy in their eyes unable to be hidden.
"Oh? General Hou has seen other monsters driven by people?" Chu Nan asked confused.
"My lord's red rabbit can be regarded as a monster driven by people, but this kind of horse-like monster is easier to tame." Hou Cheng nodded. Lu Bu's red rabbit horse is already a monster. In terms of strength, let alone them.
Even a general like Zhang Liao may not be able to win such an ordinary general.
"How long have you been keeping this mantis?" Hou Cheng asked.
"It's less than a month."
"Generally, monsters have the opportunity to transform, and they do it step by step. You, a mantis, were not even as good as an ordinary person at the beginning, but now you have strong energy and are no less capable than an ordinary general." Hou Cheng was a little confused, this
Just a few days ago, the mantis could be easily crushed to death, but now, without the cooperation of the military formation, I am afraid it would take some effort to capture it.
How could there be such a transformation?
And although Chitu is strong, he was already strong from the beginning.
"And once the monster transforms, its character will become more ferocious, and the monster aura is full of killing and ferocious aura. However, your mantis monster aura is quite pure, without any cruelty." At this point, Hou Cheng was envious.
He glanced at the mantis on Chu Nan's shoulder and said, "Looking at the world, there are not many such obedient monsters."
"Luck, just luck." Chu Nan changed the topic with a smile, and then looked at Hou Chengdao: "What kind of magical power does the general use?"
"What magical power? The Nine Secrets of the Royal Army are not a secret. Have you never heard of it, sir?" Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan in surprise.
"It's only been a month since I woke up. How could I know this?" Chu Nan shook his head.
"The Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army are said to have been created by the military immortal Han Xin. Once the generals in the army are gathered, they will have a strange power. If the commander can figure out the rules, he can use his troops like gods. The secret of wind can make the soldiers
They run very fast without feeling tired. The trapped word secret is what I just used. It can use the power of all the soldiers to form a powerful force to trap the enemy, specifically to deal with the masters. There is also the mountain word secret, which can make the three armies as motionless as a mountain.
Non-invasion is used to deal with evil; in addition, there are fire-character secrets, forest-character secrets, hidden-character secrets, thunder-character secrets, water-character secrets, and breaking-character secrets. I am not good at it, so I can only use the three secrets."
Finally, Hou Cheng added: "Sir, please don't underestimate these three secrets. For ordinary generals and the nine secrets of the imperial army, even if they only have one secret, they are considered good generals. Since the advent of these nine secrets, who can learn the three secrets?"
Not a character?"
"I wonder how many secrets Marquis Wen can use?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"The Seven Secrets, except for the trapped secrets and the water secrets, the masters of the other seven secrets are quite proficient." Hou Cheng was a little depressed. He was naturally incomparable to Lu Bu.
The Difficult Word Secret is used to deal with masters, and Lu Bu is usually the one who is dealt with. The Difficult Word Secret is really of no use to Lu Bu.
"I don't know how to learn it? Do I need to practice?" Chu Nan looked at Hou Cheng and asked.
"The Nine Secrets of the Royal Army are different from other things. This is the combination of the strength of the three armies. It relies on the understanding of the use of soldiers. If you are not in the army, you will be hard-pressed to understand it in a lifetime.
When I was in the army and experienced a lot of wars, I naturally understood it. I have a volume of the Nine Secrets of the Royal Army. If you are interested, sir, I will send it to you when you return to Xiapi." Hou Cheng said with a smile.
The day before yesterday, he had just taken over the military power from Chu Nan, and he had a lot of bad luck. Afterwards, Hou Cheng felt that this was strange. Although he was not sure if it was because of Chu Nan, he felt that there was no need to make an enemy of Chu Nan, plus these two people
God treats me well, so I have the idea of repairing the relationship.
The Nine Secrets of the Royal Army are not a secret to most military generals. It is just that this thing relies on one's understanding and cannot be learned by holding bamboo slips. With Chu Nan's current achievements, if he wants this thing, it couldn't be simpler.
He is also happy to be a favor.
"Thank you very much." Chu Nan nodded.
Commanding the troops this time, he gained a lot of luck, which at least strengthened the little mantis into a usable combat force. However, his talent enhancement requirement starts with 100,000 luck. To strengthen himself, he needs more luck.
Good luck, it will be good for you to study more on this art of commanding troops.
"Sir, two generals, there are people outside the camp who say they are here to receive salt." Just as the three were about to separate, a military prince hurried over and saluted the three.
"Coming?" Chu Nan's eyes lit up slightly and he looked at the little mantis on his shoulder...
