However, when he saw the sand table and the map in front of him, he was not happy at all.
Whether it was the small green flag that represented the barbarians on the sand table or the small black dot that represented the barbarians on the map, they had already surrounded the small blue flag and the small dot that represented the Linhai.
Originally, this encirclement hadn't been closed. It was heading towards the direction of the Linhai. There was also a huge gap that could keep the supplies and supplies of the people in the Linhai at a constant rate. This was also the reason why the Pingling Pass was able to hold on for so long.
However, as the Airship was ambushed, the barbarians' tentacles had already penetrated deep into the back of the Pingling Pass, cutting off their connection with the Linhai.
If this situation didn't improve, the Pingling Pass's failure would be irreversible.
Although there were still some resources left in the Pingling Pass, the people who could participate in the battle were being consumed at a rapid rate!
The loss of members in battle was a huge problem, especially the high quality Soul Cultivator. It would be extremely troublesome if they could not replenish them.
Looking at the situation on both sides, Ye Bufan knew that other than using his specialty in formations as much as possible, there was nothing else he could do to help the Pingling Pass.
Once he wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to pay a lot of price. Not only would he be very tired, but he would also have to look at so many high grade and even high grade Soul Stone. He actually couldn't take them away and use them. Instead, he had to use them all on the array formation. His heart was bleeding non-stop.
However, in order to take over the Pingling Pass, he had to hold on until the government sent a true expert. He could only watch with teary eyes as the pieces of high grade Soul Stone were taken out from the warehouse and handed over to him. Before he could grasp the heat, he placed it in the eye of the formation.
There was a formation in the entire Pingling Pass, and it was not like there were no Array Master in the army.
However, the Array Master in the army was obviously not the same as Ye Bufan's. The two of them had almost no way of communicating with each other.
At the beginning, Ye Bufan still wanted to unite some forces that could be united. He wanted to complete the mission that Old General Lian Po gave him, so he took the initiative to look for the Array Master in the army. He asked them for guidance on the arrangement of the formation in Pingling Pass, as well as to discuss the matter of cooperation.
The result was disheartening. There was a huge difference in his understanding of formations with the Array Master in the army. As a result, both sides had their own views on formations, and neither could convince the other. There were ideological conflicts in every aspect, let alone cooperation.
Ye Bufan was very suspicious. If he did not have the same authority as the general, it would be a problem for him to walk out of the army's Array Master barracks.
The quarrels between the two sides were definitely not peaceful.
The final result was that after Ye Bufan asked about the situation of all the formations in Pingling Pass, he left the Array Master's barracks and found the old general. He directly ordered the old general to put these Array Master under house arrest for the time being.
Of course, this was not because he was jealous of virtuous people and did not like others.
It was because both sides had a completely conflicting ideology. He did not want others to interfere with his modification and arrangement of the Pingling Pass's formation. He had to keep his words strictly carried out, and only then could he have true combat strength.
As for the Array Master in the army, he could only let them down.
Ye Bufan obtained a large amount of Soul Stone and rare materials from the warehouse in Pingling Pass.
Especially the blood of the Demonic Beast, which was what he wanted the most.
Drawing a formation was not something that could be done casually on the ground. Every line... Every pattern had a deeper meaning. They would become the carrier of energy. If there were no good materials to draw the formation, the effect of the formation would be greatly reduced.
When Ye Bufan set up the formation in the mine, he used the Stone Marrow. Before Dazhuang and Erzhuang found the Stone Marrow, he even had to use his own blood as the raw materials for drawing the formation.
Now that he had a large amount of blood from the Demonic Beast, the drawing of the formation was much simpler.
He had no idea what the barbarians were doing during this period of time. The overall situation was surprisingly calm, unlike the past where they attacked the city walls every two to three days.
They had been honest for several days, and had given Ye Bufan enough time to modify one side of the formation according to his train of thought. In addition, they had also supplemented many of his own unique formations.
With sufficient time and sufficient Soul Stone and Demonic Beast blood, Ye Bufan was able to set up the formation in a much more straightforward manner.
For a total of seven days, he rarely rested. He would wander around the city gates all day long to see where he should set up the formation. When it was suitable to set up the formation, he would take action. He would use the blood of the Demonic Beast to draw up a formation diagram and the Soul Stone as the eye of the formation.
Not long after, a formation was set up.
Seeing Ye Bufan's efficiency was so high, Old General Lian Po couldn't believe it. He even specially sent someone to secretly test the formation that Ye Bufan had set up.
In the end, a Third Level Form Transformation guard sent by ___ punched a section of the city wall that was protected by the formation a hundred times, but it didn't cause any damage to the city wall.
Since then, Old General Lian Po specially sent a few soldiers to follow Ye Bufan. In name, they were helping him take some Demonic Beast blood, Soul Stone, and other things as laborers. In fact, everyone could tell at a glance that this was the bodyguard that he had sent over, and they were afraid that he would be killed.
Ye Bufan was naturally happy to accept these extra bodyguards and subordinates. Anyway, he would not do anything shameful. If there were people following him, he would let them follow.
After inspecting the entire city gate again, Ye Bufan felt that the places he could set up the formation had already been set up. There was no place for him to attack anymore. So he let a few followers go back and returned to the room in the station.
He had a small courtyard in the station. In the past, Qiu Lin also lived here with him. However, after Qiu Lin was promoted, he lived in the military camp. In this small courtyard, he was the only one left.
When he returned to the room, Ye Bufan sat cross-legged on the bed. He wanted to cultivate, but just as he sat down, he opened his eyes again.
A great battle could happen at any time. If he wanted to advance to the next level, he could not rely on cultivation alone. He needed to obtain the soul essence.
Since cultivating was meaningless, Ye Bufan did not have the mood to continue cultivating.
He suddenly went into a daze and sat by the window. His two eyes looked at the courtyard outside the window. There was no focus in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a knocking sound from afar. He immediately stood up.
"It's the sound of the war drums. Have the barbarians attacked?"
He didn't have time to think. He walked out of his room and prepared to go to the city gate.
When he opened the door, he found that the few followers who had left earlier were already waiting for him at the gate.
"You are!"
"By the order of the marshal, Mr Ye is to stay in the post house."
"Why is that so?" Ye Bufan's face darkened.
"I think it's to ensure Mr Ye's safety." The soldier replied.
"Humph, I am not a coward." After saying that, Ye Bufan started walking towards the exit. He had to go to the city gate to watch the battle. If he didn't appear in the battle against the barbarians, could he still be considered a human?
However, a few soldiers blocked the road and didn't move.
"Mr Ye, this is the order of the marshal."
"What marshal? I am an Array Master. How can I not look at my own array?" Ye Bufan's momentum was a little weak.
"Please forgive me, Mr Ye." The soldier still did not move aside.
"Alright, alright. I know you are following orders, so I will not make things difficult for you." Ye Bufan seemed to have given in. He turned around and walked back into the yard.
The soldiers were relieved. They were under orders to protect Ye Bufan. They told him to stay in the post house and not go out, but who knew if this Array Master would be too hot-blooded or unhappy to be controlled. If they really fought, they really did not have much confidence.
Just as the few soldiers let out a sigh of relief, they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
"What is so fragrant?"
"Not good, it's a smokescreen!" One of the sergeants sniffed and felt a bout of dizziness. He quickly perked up and called out.
However, this was the only thing he could do. When he called out... He fell to the ground. The other soldiers were not spared either. They fell to the ground one after another. Many of them had mixed feelings before they lost consciousness. The Array Master was indeed worthy of being called the Array Master. It had many methods.
"Hehe, the effect of this Confusion Array is pretty good." Ye Bufan came out of the courtyard again. He looked at the soldiers who were limp on the ground and cupped his fists. "I'm sorry, everyone."
Then, he skipped out of the station and walked towards the city gate.
After leaving the station, he could use his invisibility ability. The reason why he didn't use invisibility to escape but used the rosa formation was to test the effect of the formation. The other reason was that he didn't want to expose the fact that he could be invisible.
However, after leaving the station, he didn't have such scruples. He began to feel at ease and boldly turn invisible. Then, he quietly went to the city gate.
He didn't dare to swagger up. Otherwise, if Old General Lian Po discovered him, he might have to send someone to tie him up and send him back to the station.
The old general's care for his forehead was obviously a little too much. It was unknown if he suddenly showed mercy or if he valued the effect of the Array Master too much.
In any case, Ye Bufan wasn't prepared to let the old general find him.
The city gate did not only have one passageway up and down.
In order to make it easier to move around in the city, the distribution of resources and soldiers was smooth. There were many passageways between the city and the city.
When Ye Bufan arrived at the bottom of the city gate, he saw that the passageways were moving up and down in an orderly manner.
After the soldiers gathered in the city, they ran up to the city gate along the passage. A convoy that carried the resources of the city ran up and down to deliver the rolling wood and rolling oil and fire mines.
Ye Bufan hid himself and followed behind a carriage transporting the city defense resources to the city gate.
With a casual look, one could tell that he was at the western section of the city gate, near the mountain rock.
