 Chapter 3147: The General's Last Wish

Battle after battle that had occurred in the past played out again before Lin Moyu's eyes.

Not illusions created by rules, battle intent and obsessions, but real battlefields that had occurred in history.

Lin Moyu saw how the once powerful Divine Rune Army fought against the Bloody Legion from the Blood Rat Realm.

Those brilliant Daos, various strange techniques and secret methods of the Divine Rune Army, all displayed before his eyes,

letting Lin Moyu experience the style of prehistoric powerhouses.

Most importantly, Lin Moyu recognized the true Bloody Legion.

The true Bloody rat monsters were far more powerful than those illusory evolved ones.

They also had consciousness, intelligence, and tactics.

Whether in group combat or one-on-one battles, they were very powerful.

Especially from the sixth mural onwards, Lin Moyu saw those mutated rat generals.

Six-winged rat generals were seventh-level Dao Venerable. After mutation, they became even more powerful.

Although their realm didn't increase, their combat power rose sharply.

Mutation gave them various abilities that were very troublesome.

And their method of mutation was swallowing Great Dao crystals.

There were sixteen murals in total, distributed on the four high walls of the stone chamber.

When Lin Moyu saw the eighth mural, he suddenly discovered that the battlefield in the eighth mural was where he was now.

A powerful Divine Rune Army fought fiercely with the Bloody Legion here. The Bloody Legion's numbers were ten times that of the Divine Rune Army, completely surrounding them.

Although encircled, the Divine Rune Army wasn't panicked. They formed battle formations and counterattacked under the leadership of a fifth-grade general.

The Divine Rune Army was very brave. In this battle, they killed several times their own number of Bloody rat monsters.

But unfortunately they still lost in the end.

They fought to the last man. The fifth-grade general finally chose to self-destruct, sacrificing himself to take a large number of Bloody rat monsters with him.

Reinforcements arrived shortly after the battle ended, slaughtering all the remaining Bloody rat monsters.

After watching the entire battle, Lin Moyu muttered, "What a pity. If reinforcements had come one step earlier, it wouldn't have ended like this."

Actually, the Divine Rune Army's battle formation could have held out for a long time even outnumbered.

But in this Bloody Legion were several mutated Bloody rat monsters.

They possessed various abilities, which was the reason for the Divine Rune Army's rapid defeat.

And Lin Moyu had seen these few Bloody rat monsters - they were the ones used as watchdogs.

Of course, on the real battlefield, their abilities were stronger than the evolved ones.

After watching this battle, Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh.

If there were no mutated rat monsters, if reinforcements could arrive a bit earlier, this tragedy could have been avoided.

But prehistoric history was just history. Everything had already happened and couldn't be changed.

When Lin Moyu was about to continue examining the ninth mural, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed. Lin Moyu found himself back in the stone chamber.

The prehistoric mural journey came to an abrupt end.

The sixteen murals in the stone chamber were still glowing, but his consciousness could no longer enter them.

He had only seen the first eight. The rest couldn't be viewed.

At this time, the eighth mural rippled like water, stirring up circles of ripples, then a vortex appeared.

The vortex before his eyes was identical to the secret realm entrance vortex. Lin Moyu knew that after entering, there should be a secret realm.

The murals could no longer be viewed, and he didn't need to stay here anymore.

Lin Moyu remembered the remaining eight murals in his heart. With previous experience, he roughly knew the meaning of the murals.

Each mural recorded a battle.

Through these battles, some prehistoric situations could be understood.

After remembering them, Lin Moyu then entered the vortex.

In the secret realm, Lin Moyu looked at the scene before him, showing some surprise.

He had just seen the scene in the secret realm, in the battles shown in the murals.

"If I remember correctly, this is the battlefield recorded in the third mural."

"That creator of the ancient battlefield created a secret realm to reenact the ancient battlefield recorded in the murals?"

"With real records already existing, why reenact again? It seems somewhat redundant."

Lin Moyu's thoughts raced. He realized one point - entering the grave and viewing the murals was secondary. The main thing was still the task at hand.

Clearing the watchdogs, viewing the murals, then coming here - all this was related to the task.

That being wouldn't do meaningless things.

The watchdogs were just to let him understand the abilities of mutated rat monsters.

The murals were to let him see prehistoric battles and know the true Bloody Legion.

However, all this would converge at the end, which was now.

"I understand, so that's how it is!"

The corners of Lin Moyu's mouth lifted slightly. He finally understood what the task was and what he should do.

The previous seven murals were actually paving the way for the eighth mural.

The eighth mural recorded the final experience of this grave's owner.

Through the past scenes, Lin Moyu saw the look in his eyes behind the armor and felt his unwillingness.

That general self-destructed with unwillingness.

His unwillingness must have a reason. Lin Moyu guessed it should be that something went wrong with the reinforcements.

If reinforcements could arrive an hour earlier, he and his Divine Rune soldiers wouldn't have died in battle.

The task required fulfilling that general's last wish, without saying what the wish was.

Lin Moyu couldn't figure it out before, but now he finally understood.

The general's last wish was his unwillingness. He was unwilling to die like this. He hoped reinforcements would come earlier, hoped his battle would have a turning point.

After self-destructing and dying in battle, the general didn't really vanish into smoke. He left behind strong obsession and unwillingness.

The obsession and unwillingness evolved into a secret realm. Lin Moyu could even feel a trace of unresolvable obsession here.

Later, that ancient battlefield creator further modified the secret realm.

His task was to help the general fulfill the obsession left behind.

He needed to go support the general, change the outcome of that battle, so he wouldn't need to end his life by self-destruction.

The battlefields formed by the first eight murals were strung together, forming a huge map.

To go support, Lin Moyu needed to accurately find that general's position.

This might be very difficult for others, but for Lin Moyu, it wasn't very challenging.

A vast number of over a hundred legion commanders appeared, summoning a vast Dragon Cavalry that flew in all directions.

Lin Moyu didn't know if that battle had already begun, how far he was from the battlefield. Time was certainly of the essence now.

So he chose Dragon Cavalry. Dragon Cavalry were considerably faster than skeleton generals and could save time.

His vision constantly switched between various Dragon Cavalry, observing while rapidly sketching a detailed map in his mind.

Gradually, Lin Moyu discovered some information.

The secret realm was based on the eight murals he had seen. Some of the terrain inside was very similar to that in the eight murals.

Although the content of the eight murals differed, they essentially occurred on the same battlefield.

Realizing this, Lin Moyu knew what he should do.

Just following the order of the murals would lead to the correct path.

He was now in the area indicated by the third mural. The place he needed to go next was the location marked in the fourth mural, then the fifth, sixth.

The murals were road signs. Following the direction indicated by the murals would eventually lead to the location marked in the eighth mural.
