98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2iBEzh1GC
The battle erupted. The Yellow Turban Army at the front hastily moved to meet the enemy. Such a disturbance naturally could not escape the notice of Zhang Baiqi deep within the central army.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG1h5Opije
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO9GLV3AJy
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6zmtOpuI8
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmV6bD9yI
His voice boomed like thunder. When the thunderous roar rang out, it immediately steadied the morale of the Yellow Turban Soldiers. Then, amid wave after wave of battle cries, they charged forward.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMFxY7Wwl
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8wPgXT7Ha
The notification sounded beside Xiao Wen's ear. Through Ma Chao's perspective, he could see that Ma Chao was simply slaughtering the swarming Yellow Turban Militia.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcCdihGJpt
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivj2Y1UH5b
As for the soldiers of the middle and late stages, their combat strength varied depending on their troop type, skill proficiency, and subsequent troop advancements.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdxPyZUfMG
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs24ZvFElay
Facing five Yellow Turban Recruits charging at him together, he pulled the reins with one hand. Claw Yellow Flying Lightning immediately understood, raising its front hooves high.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4LjbCXk3F
A sharp neigh followed.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiKXRYeULJ
A layer of dark light covered Claw Yellow Flying Lightning's legs before its hooves slammed heavily into the ground. The earth trembled, and an invisible shockwave spread outward.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iKfrrI0r1
Mount Skill · Trample!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MX4wBpWyo
[Trample]
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3BOZxwlf
Type: Mount Skill
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfDteXDQ4q
Effect: After horse and rider become one in spirit, the mount and rider synchronize their minds, gathering power. When the horse's hooves strike the ground, the earth trembles and shockwaves surge forth, breaking enemy attacks.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhFMGE81nR
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK0DosttJa
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScnOxlwFqG
Ma Chao immediately moved.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sqABd5ykV
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqqn0ukYp
Critical Hit, HP -999.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqTBcjODcc
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX7A6Egs1O
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79UIZKEI62
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbAFMe7KIs
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdX9aoTuI
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlFRINuLp
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpWrMeQNHn
The notification sounded beside his ear.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ExxQoUQn
Almost immediately after Ma Chao finished off the Yellow Turban Militia, a group of Yellow Turban Recruits charged forward in a frenzy, weapons in hand, clashing directly with the soldiers under his command.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDgbqh7t8m
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyrdC0MSJR
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAaMS6htZq
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReH88WcvLg
Kill! Kill! Kill!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZFKVOrC2M
Ma Chao's spear moved like a dragon as he charged into the battlefield, erupting into action and instantly killing several enemies, without slowing down in the slightest.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDyBuaWZla
Critical Hit, HP -999.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Fs2zpMvq

98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JkVMnAGv1
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7p75AJ5ke
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsIjb9DxI
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwidCmjGUB
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVE3XWiSVx
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGM0piXPlV
The notification sounded once more.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqmgyynGta
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDXsQ0A53w
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj1ObWPb7O
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgDF5Myngf
Could Ma Chao handle them?
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66tm5Pa46
He probably could.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bt1iqEzbd
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Vtxwre8x
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymhfRQrmo
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiM2dV0P16
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTxaqMaEA
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr24uXz9ax
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNNdup6zU
Even so, without any of those skills, if he personally entered battle, his memories and combat experience from his previous life alone would make him no weaker than an ordinary second- or third-tier general.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUsDfHymPp
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1grl2FU5s
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGi1muO0RB
He needed to wait a little longer.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy0yNtjAaD
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoeIiXzxsr
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxCH9qNDqA
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjhrFsmfs
Although these three hundred and eighty soldiers had gone through consecutive battles, most of them only suffered light injuries and still retained their combat effectiveness.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQkBl8XFI
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLSe6dAQA
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqS85x7hBB
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nsS8zVua
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaH23jmvC
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHppGDq7tGl
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaN2peyW2n
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzGhvhiLfl
Although there were only one hundred of them, the aura they emitted was no weaker than the three hundred and eighty soldiers behind Ma Chao.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WkemhOYem
If anything, it was even stronger.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NE5Hl4FZh
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiRC0Taqk
This would be a hard battle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNKFDnBjGD
"Kill!"
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieMVsdS8b8
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDk4G5yVL0
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgn2H1RDp
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eX1Cfa7BH
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nqa1H1BMx
A red damage number floated upward.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ5GnYIFzn
Blocked, HP -10.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxes9QQX0ef
The damage appeared.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcih3lYXe9x
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW9grUfyJg
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEShh4y98Wu
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcUmPgyakJ
This was not an isolated incident.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DpvmajF1a
It was the norm.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmRlmbYYM
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtISiTPF1CE
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN7BgwBBAy
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGCKZqzk1m
The spear tip struck the armor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcdeHgC6aY
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCY2pILxPe
But only for an instant.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dzPGof1tT
With a slight exertion of strength, the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear pierced through the defense and killed the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier amid the latter's shocked gaze.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBPWD4feY
Armor broken!
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVYsEbLLzY
Critical Hit, HP -999.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGnITyRi0N
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKy1NQcckT
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd2dfsuph7
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc33cFNaUd
