Chapter 49 [9 songs·National mourning]
As the name suggests, Legion Cards are cards that can summon an army.
It is a variant of the Summoning Card, or you could say an Advanced Card.
The number of card spirits summoned by a Legion card depends on the card's star rating.
Generally speaking, a Legion card of the Black Iron rank will not summon more than ten card spirits.
After mentally reviewing the steps for creating a Legion Card, Lin Mo immediately returned to the lounge to rest.
He needs to conserve his energy and prepare for the next legion card buildup.
……
One day later.
Lin Mo restored himself to his peak condition and immediately went to the counter.
Lay out the material cards you want to create in a row, and after confirming that none are missing,
Only then did his spiritual energy overflow, enveloping the cards on the counter.
As consciousness arrived, it entered the space of the mind.
After crafting several cards, Lin Mo had already become quite adept at it.
With a wave of his hand, the material cards instantly fanned out.
Lin Mo prepared a large number of material cards this time, in addition to the main material cards,
Six copies of each of the other ingredients were prepared.
His original plan was to prepare ten of each, but then he considered that this was his first time making Legion Cards.
Furthermore, the mental strength might not be able to sustain it, which is why it was reduced by four parts.
Even so, the total still exceeds thirty.
As soon as Lin Mo had a thought, the material cards revealed their true forms.
There are bronze halberds, incense ash from shamanic rituals, fragments of rhinoceros armor, the spirits of righteous men, and bronze arrowheads...
These materials are prominently centered around the card depicting a desolate ancient battlefield.
This ancient battlefield material card is a creation-type material, created by a high-level card maker who directly sealed away an ancient battlefield.
In a sense, it can also be considered a terrain card.
There are no more than twenty similar cards in the entire Wushan City Card Makers Association.
Lin Mo spent nearly 600,000 star coins to acquire this card.
Taking a deep breath, he immediately used his spiritual power as a pen to write the two characters "National Mourning" in the void.
That's right, what Lin Mo is going to create this time is none other than the Legion of Heroes of the Ninth Song Myth.
As the pen fell, a radiant light suddenly shone within my heart.
Eventually, it slowly coalesced into two large, golden characters.
The moment his real name was revealed, a storm raged in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, the two large, gleaming golden characters suddenly disappeared into the main material, engraved on the back of the card.
In an instant, a strange suction force burst forth from the main material card.
It absorbs the material cards that reveal their original state.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately wrote down the draft in his mind.
From its founding in the Western Zhou Dynasty to its conquest by Qin, the State of Chu endured hundreds of battles, large and small, over a period of more than eight hundred years. Countless soldiers died on the battlefield, their remains left to rot in the wilderness.
The souls of these soldiers linger on the ancient battlefield, but because no one calls them back, they gradually become wandering ghosts.
At the end of the Warring States period, Qu Yuan was exiled to the Yuan and Xiang rivers. Passing by the ancient battlefield of Danyang, he saw white bones covering the fields and heard the wailing of ghosts and wolves. Overwhelmed with grief, he composed "Nine Songs: Elegy for the Fallen" to summon the souls of the dead.
[Holding Wu spears and clad in rhinoceros armor, chariots clashed, short weapons engaged. Banners obscured the sun, enemies were like clouds, arrows rained down, soldiers fought valiantly.]
The poem, once uttered, was like a thunderclap piercing the night, like the rising sun.
Countless slumbering war spirits rose at the sound; though their bodies perished, their spirits lived on, their souls resolute, becoming heroic ghosts!
……
As the lines of text were written, the words "National Mourning" on the back of the card shone even brighter.
It was as bright as the blazing sun, almost blinding Lin Mo, before slowly disappearing from view.
He knew that the second step of narrative construction was complete.
The third step, pattern drawing, will begin immediately.
This step is both difficult and easy.
Similar to summoning cards,
The only difference is that more card spirits need to be drawn.
Since Lin Mo had prepared six sets of materials in advance, he needed to draw the patterns of the six Kaling.
However, this was no challenge for Lin Mo.
As early as yesterday, he had already sketched out the images of these card spirits on scrap paper.
All you need to do is copy it exactly.
However, the real difficulty lies in,
The more Card Spirits you have, the more mental energy you will consume.
Furthermore, this consumption will grow exponentially over time.
Therefore, Lin Mo could not pause for the slightest and had to complete the copy in one go, smoothly and effortlessly.
Lin Mo slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Without further hesitation, I used my mental energy as a pen to write on the card.
Armed with Wu spears, clad in rhinoceros armor, and carrying longbows, these are the vanguard warriors charging ahead!
Soon, the first Kaling was completed.
Lin Mo did not stop, but continued to copy the second Kaling in one go.
With the foundation laid by the previous crocodile, the drawing of the second Kaling was much easier.
……
As time went on, more and more warriors appeared on the cards.
Lin Mo's face grew paler and paler.
Finally, just before his mental energy was about to run out, the last Kaling figure successfully took shape.
In an instant, my heart was once again stirred.
Endless purple light bloomed, and a card with a bright purple border floated silently in front of him.
"It's finally finished!"
Thankfully, I only prepared six times the usual amount of ingredients, otherwise I would have been exhausted here today.
Lin Mo looked exhausted, but a hint of relief flashed across his face.
He immediately checked the card's attributes.
Card Name: [Nine Songs: National Mourning]
Rank: Heroic Spirit
Type: Legion/Summon/Source Card
Spirituality: Perfection, Bright Purple Edges, Black Iron
Star rating: ★★★★★★
characteristic:
【Ghostly Heroism】When legion members are near death, they enter a state of desperate battle, greatly increasing their combat power until they are exhausted.
[Unbreakable] Legion members are immune to mind control effects and will reflect a portion of the damage back to the attacker when attacked by physical attacks.
[Unrelenting Attacks] When a legion member dies in battle, their spirit remains in place, continuing to fight in spirit form. The spirit possesses some of the original body's combat power, and its attacks inflict a Soul Erosion effect, continuously eroding the enemy's mental and spiritual power.
【Slaughtering the Wilderness】When the legion's casualties reach a certain level, the Wrath of National Mourning is triggered, the sky and earth change color and the wind howls, and all attributes of the remaining legion members are greatly increased.
skill:
【Wu Ge Rhinoceros Armor】 Legion members form the Wu Ge formation and advance forward, dealing continuous damage to enemies in their path and forcibly knocking them back.
【Arrows Fall Like Rain】Legion members form a flying arrow formation, firing a dense rain of arrows at a designated area, causing area damage and inflicting armor-piercing effects, weakening the enemy's physical defense.
【Chariot Charge】League members summon Chu chariots to form a chariot-cavalry formation and charge into the enemy ranks, dealing heavy damage to enemies in their path and knocking them away. After the chariots are destroyed, the armored soldiers on board will dismount and continue fighting.
【Return to Chu】The legion members unleash their full fighting spirit, summoning the phantom images of the heroic spirits of the fallen generals of the Chu Kingdom throughout history, forming the Chu Heaven Battle Domain covering the entire field.
All allied units receive the blessing of Chu Soul, which temporarily increases their attack power and movement speed.
The phantom of the hero will launch an attack alongside the legion members, and then dissipate.
