Chapter 621 The second round, Iron Wall Dragon Scale!

Under the leadership of Zhang He, this heavily armored infantry corps was like a black steel dragon, passing through the streets and alleys, heading straight for the venue of the martial arts conference.

Under the moonlight, the cold light on the armor interweaves with the night, forming a shocking picture.

Soon, they arrived in front of the martial arts tournament venue, where there was an open space specially designed for large-scale combat.

This open space is vast and can accommodate tens of thousands of people fighting at the same time without being crowded.

The ground was smoothed like a mirror, and every inch of the soil was carefully compacted to ensure that even the most intense battle would not cause collapse.

Surrounding the area, towering fences are like city walls, which are intended not only to protect the safety of the spectators, but also to limit the scope of the fighting and prevent innocent people from being affected.

At the edge of the open space, tall stands rise from the ground, staggered in an orderly manner, enough for every spectator to clearly see every detail on the field.

There are wide passages between the stands, which facilitates the evacuation of personnel and quick evacuation in emergency situations.

At the edge of this open space, there are special weapon racks and horse sheds for contestants to store equipment and rest.

As soon as the Halberd Corps arrived at the open space, the entire corps began its orderly garrison work like a sophisticated machine.

First, they built a circle of simple but sturdy tents around the edge of the open space as quickly as possible. The tents were closely connected to each other, forming an indestructible defense circle.

Zhang He rode on a tall horse, looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the mighty halberd warriors stationed in the open space in front of the martial arts conference, the entire Tianheng Mansion seemed to be shrouded in an invisible majesty.

Many common people and merchants outside who saw this situation stopped to watch, their eyes full of curiosity and awe. They talked and speculated about the purpose of this aggressive heavy armored infantry corps.

"This halberd warrior corps is so majestic. Look at the armor and the giant halberds. They are like heavenly soldiers who walked out of iron and blood!"

A man who looked like a merchant exclaimed, his eyes flashing with awe for this heavy armored infantry corps.

"Yes, I heard that they are the elite troops of the Duke of Zhenguo, invincible and unbeatable!"

Another citizen echoed, his tone full of admiration for Su Ye, who is now the Duke of Zhenguo.

"But why are they stationed here? Is it for the security of the martial arts conference?"

A gorgeously dressed woman asked in confusion, frowning slightly, as if she was surprised by all this.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could give a definite answer. They could only watch from afar, feeling the shock and pressure brought by the Halberd Corps.

At the same time, some sharp-minded warriors, such as Jia Fu, Ma Yuan and others, had already vaguely guessed the content of the second round.

The two looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"It seems that Lord Zhenguogong is going to give us a 'surprise'!"

Jia Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head. His gaze passed through the crowd and fell on the open space where the Halberd Corps was stationed. He was secretly thinking about the next challenge in his heart.

"Yes, the appearance of this army may be the key to the second round of the competition."

"I don't know how Lord Zhenguo will arrange it, but one thing is certain, we will most likely have to face this heavily armored legion head-on!" Ma Yuan also echoed with a wry smile, his hands clenched into fists, obviously suppressing his inner excitement and nervousness.

As a general, he was naturally excited to fight against such an elite army.

As for whether he would be eliminated, he was not too worried about it.

He believed that with his own strength, although he was not the best in the world today, he was at least in the upper-middle level.

If even he is eliminated, then most people will probably have to run away with him this time.

A few days later, the first round of screening gradually came to an end.

Jia Fu, who had already advanced, and Ma Yuan, Ma Shanwei, Fan Lihua, Zhuge Kunlong, Xue Kui, Bai Wenbao and others gradually came to the Liuli Building to wait for the second round of competition.

Liulizhu, this magnificent building built specifically for the martial arts conference, has a roof covered with transparent glazed tiles. The sunlight penetrates through it, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to the tense atmosphere.

Jia Fu and Ma Yuan walked side by side into the glazed building, both with steady steps, passing through the long corridor paved with bluestone.

In the center of the Liuli Building was an open circular plaza surrounded by towering stands. Each floor was filled with spectators from Tianheng Prefecture and even further afield. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity, and discussions were heard one after another, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet building.

At this time, Shen Wansan, who was in charge of presiding over this martial arts conference, appeared on the high platform in gorgeous clothes and walked steadily, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

Shen Wansan's gaze swept across everyone present, and finally fell on the neatly arranged army of halberd warriors in the open space in front of him. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Heroes, welcome to the second round of the martial arts competition!"

"For this competition, we will adopt an unprecedented method. Your opponents will no longer be each other, but..."

Shen Wansan's voice, with the help of his own slightly shallow internal strength, penetrated the entire Liuli Building, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.

As Shen Wansan finished his words, everyone's eyes turned to the heavy armored infantry corps - the Halberd Corps.

I saw that they had arranged themselves into a formation called "Iron Wall Dragon Scale Formation". The entire formation was like a giant dragon winding across the open space. The cold light of the armor flickered in the sunlight, forming a series of heart-pounding cold rays.

"The Iron Wall Dragon Scale Formation is the secret formation of our Cangzhou Army's Halberd Corps. It combines the solid defense of heavy armored infantry with terrifying suppression power. It can be called a meat grinder on the battlefield!"

Shen Wansan introduced in detail, "This formation is composed of a thousand soldiers, each holding a giant halberd, closely connected to form an indestructible barrier. At the same time, they can also deal a fatal blow to the enemy through precise coordination and movement."

"When the formation is in operation, each soldier is like a dragon scale, independent yet connected, together forming the huge body of this iron wall dragon."

There was a sense of helplessness in Shen Wansan's words. He had never expected that his master was so good at playing.

Which prince is so arrogant?

Just pull out all the heavily armored legions like the Halberd Soldiers for a walk.

"The rules for the second round of the competition are: you will form groups of 100 and face off against the Iron Wall Dragon Scale Formation of the Great Halberd Corps."

"Your goal is to break out of the formation and reach the other end of the formation within the specified time. The first ten people who successfully break out of the formation will be qualified to advance!"
