Chapter 486: Power of Civil Officials

Up in the air, the flaming ant queen formed by flaming ants already turned into a ball of fire, trying to destroy the thunder clouds.
Boom! Boom!
The giant soundwave bats and the red dragon attacked with their skills as well.
The soundwaves and fire blew up two armed helicopters that were ready to launch missiles.
Roar! Roar!
The giant Dense Fog creatures that weren’t stopped roared and ran past the Rank-breaking Camp and Tiger Leopard Cavalry. They charged at Cao Cao, Ji Ye, and Cobb.
As the creator of this dream, if Cobb was attacked, the entire dream battlefield would become unstable.
And if he was killed, the rest of them would be trapped in this dream.
Therefore, Ji Ye couldn’t let anything happen to Cobb.
Roar!
There was an ear-splitting tiger roar.
Immediately after that, a figure riding a blood-red tiger charged out of the military base. He was wielding an intimidating black saber.
“Hula!”
A double-headed wolf running toward the military base split into halves.
The person on the tiger was none other than Wu Song.
“Hoooo!”
A giant ape-like creature smashed an M1A2 tank, picked it up, and threw it at the military base. A mandrill about the same size as the ape caught the tank and added a layer of yellow glow to it before throwing it back at the ape, making it stumble back.
Needless to say, inside that mandrill was Lu Zhishen.
And they weren’t the only two heroes here.
Whoosh!
The silver-armored Zhao Yun jumped from one roof to another on the back of his Jade Lion.
In the end, he turned into a streak of bright silver light, stepped onto a falling helicopter, and leaped into the sky.
The energy coming out of the Snow Spear froze the flames of the red dragon.
Clang!
Then, the semi-transparent spear pierced into the red dragon’s head through its left eye.
“Thunder! Come!”
The flaming ant queen was hit by a streak of dragon-shaped lightning.
It fell right to the ground.
Gongsun Sheng appeared on the cloud.
What?
Hadn’t those heroes gone to fight against the yakshas and would only come back tomorrow? Why were they here now?
Because Cao Cao wasn’t the only one who could “create” heroes. As the master of Dragon City, Ji Ye could do the same.
In the dream, these people were the dream builder’s subconscious.
It meant that the closer they were to the builder, the easier they could be formed.
Since Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Gongsun Sheng had all been with Dragon City for a long time, Ji Ye was very familiar with all of them.
Although Zhao Yun arrived much later, as the first Transcendent hero, he was more familiar with Ji Ye than Li Yuanba, which was why Ji Ye created him as well.
“This dream battlefield is indeed unique. Because of this rule, theoretically, any hero that has learned Inception or fused with the Dense Fog crystal can ‘create’ familiar heroes in the dream.”
For instance, Yu Ji could create Xiang Yu, Zhou Yu could create Sun Ce, and Li Chunfeng could create Yuan Tian’gang. Since Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were leaders of kingdoms, they could create a lot of their civil officials and military officers.
For instance, Professor X could probably bring most of the X-men here.
Moreover, military officers weren’t the only ones that could fight in dreams.
Civil officials could do wonders as well!
For example…
When the heroes stopped four Dense Fog creatures, one last creature with Transcendent power that could travel underground infiltrated the military base.
Boom!
The cement ground suddenly opened under Cao Cao’s and Cobb’s feet, and a mouth with sharp teeth tried to bite Cao Cao.
Meanwhile, green poisonous smoke rose out of all the crevices and soon spread out through the military base.
Whoosh!
As a Legendary hero, Cao Cao reacted fast. His Hundred Ghost Whip suddenly elongated, wrapped around the sentry post nearby, and pulled him away, evading the attack.
“I came to view the boundless ocean from Stony Hill on the eastern shore. Its water rolls in rhythmic motion and islands stand amid its roar…”
Meanwhile, he chanted the poem.
Splash!
As he spoke, the area under his feet suddenly turned into a sea. The waves surged, and the seawater devoured the green smoke, stopping it from spreading.
Boom!
A small island emerged and crushed down at the opening. The impact knocked out the creature’s teeth, and it spat out green blood.
Chanting a poem?
Was that Cao Cao’s talent skill?
No, it wasn’t. The poem-chanting was more like music temperament or painting.
In the Land of Inheritance, when a concept was popular enough and was widely recognized by civilization, it would gain Extraordinary power.
Music could turn into lethal runes and painting could become the skill of “Eye Painting Brush”. Classical poetry was one of the key elements of the traditional Chidragon culture, so it should have Extraordinary power.
In fact, it had been demonstrated by settlements with a literature background that just like music, classical poetry could launch mental attacks at the Extraordinary level, and at the Transcendent level, it could materialize the scene described in the poems.
Moreover, the power would double if the one chanting the poem was the author.
Cao Cao wasn’t just a strategist and a politician, but he was a poet as well.
He could even be considered as one of the most famous poets of the Three Kingdoms era.
The poem he just chanted was “The Sea” and was in Chidragon textbooks. Needless to say, it was very famous.
“Moreover, unlike modern so-called ‘masters’, most great men of letters back then could write poems extemporaneously. They can act according to circumstances and use different poems to give the generals and soldiers different abilities to turn situations around!
“It means that top literati like Li Bai and Du Fu can benefit from a settlement more than warriors of the same level…”
Moreover, many ancient literati were martial arts practitioners as well.
For instance, Xin Qiji was as good a general as Gao Shun. With the additional ability provided by his literary achievement, he would be a much capable hero overall.
“We’ll have at least ten Special Souls of Civilization this time. If we can get enough offerings, we’ll definitely summon some top literati!”
Ji Ye looked at the battlefield.
Boom! Boom!
After the arrival of the “subconscious heroes”, the ferocious attack of the Dense Fog was stopped.
After that, Dragon City soon turned things around.
The Dense Fog creatures weren’t real Transcendent creatures, and their settlement hadn’t made the advancement either.
Dragon City had three Transcendent and one Special heroes, as well as a few advanced Commanders of the Rank-breaking Camp and Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
More importantly, before Ji Ye entered the dream, he had told Li Chunfeng and the others to attack when they felt that the time was right.
It also meant that the battle had gone beyond the dream, and a lot more Dragon City members would participate.
…
The battle lasted for several hours.
Boom!
When Gao Shun killed the giant dwarf with the magical gun, the last two Dense Fog creatures suddenly gave up fighting and turned around to flee.
“Stop right there!”
Dragon City wouldn’t let them escape.
Dragon Aura rose from Ji Ye’s feet. When he caught up with two Transcendent creatures, he saw that they stopped in front of a ball of dim gray fog and seemed to want to put up their last fight.
Unlike ordinary Dense Fog, that gray fog gave off the light of the power of providence.
“It’s the Dense Fog’s settlement core!”
The race’s settlement core was in a dream.
That was why the race could go this far and defeat more than one race that was born into the Extraordinary level when it wasn’t a high-intelligent race.
After all, its settlement core was so special that if it hadn’t run into Dragon City that could fight in dreams, it would be invincible.
However, it would only help Dragon City grow now.
“Roar, roar…”
Although the last two Dense Fog creatures roared and combined together to form a Transcendent creature to put up a fight, Ji Ye easily tore them to pieces with his Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
[“You’ve destroyed the settlement core of the Dense Fog race (Special). Honor gained: 15,039. Rare Honor gained: 300.”]
After defeating the Dense Fog race, Ji Ye had over 1,000 Rare Honor points, which were enough to exchange a Transcendent-level ability or object to take back to Earth.
