9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvKQkwbD1
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw3HGLr8fe
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLlYWX29hs
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iw14tfBdH
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20qs9fy5qO
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0WZhy8ysx
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x7WOvAT77
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLmvhy0xI7
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6AW09leBo
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8pjzWhrl0
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTv0jmLkIj
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq9iNGoJg0
A sharp neigh followed.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqaF01Zald
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZzgDTehx
Mount Skill · Trample!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0PkpiofQ
[Trample]
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A2jHfxhnI
Type: Mount Skill
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWojit3ahLy
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1eu9wKa5D
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrk0KheVx7
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MdP6qCd2s
Ma Chao immediately moved.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2y3OtV8Oe
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlULxzroc1
Critical Hit, HP -999.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnCRcDaxZw
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSF3Vkeli5
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA7LwLBQJZ
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq3sLvO8dc
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJ9mCLekG
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTOY1tscyV
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlceETB6UZk
The notification sounded beside his ear.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PrUkUaF4A
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6UsK5iGw
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXxRJRgvg
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJjLnd2ys
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZti2lbYc0
Kill! Kill! Kill!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6vVzNYXz4
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUlPeIPznn
Critical Hit, HP -999.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6gjXHaCi
Critical Hit, HP -999.

9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg8C4SUQ5s
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3tTuBDBFT
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJRYoudZ2J
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gijvqo4nz
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uEeWTQ1Us
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELtbKujLo5
The notification sounded once more.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3BSwOXdbf
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDRgZt67UX
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ISOl1Qumo
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXOqdlauK
Could Ma Chao handle them?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30FyX87UIn
He probably could.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwkXYqBmFm
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V7gyX94qi
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFe25ZXRCq
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkApaxeA1B
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFskyxyxvgi
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKi9H2ZX0t
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cRbtbV4bD
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZuhEm5s4T
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkA8sf3NjX
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIaGR6qpyZ
He needed to wait a little longer.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnS2IpLbh
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKAPWt90f
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruuALfG7hA
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtJ6yJOAG
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdH7RRWKI3
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884dDzLKBE
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtDMDHPPQe
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMdgKkyocX
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTE8RWThY
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7dA9wrKG9
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBXkBk1y8t
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYap0eqcxe9
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkx1co6OG
If anything, it was even stronger.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jOsn3btM3
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXJgxqwEk6
This would be a hard battle.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gi02YEwcH
"Kill!"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQffzUJa67
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGfpfYgoR
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrMGHXWtA
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDMPE9IKr
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbrWoL2Pj9
A red damage number floated upward.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmQUr08TSH
Blocked, HP -10.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXn5kyYTqx
The damage appeared.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKeO76TVWb
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2BIhHgDRI
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ4eudBzyK
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdUmuOeyv
This was not an isolated incident.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLuyP0MRE
It was the norm.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwMhMpyGd
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAJDGihTG
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr0YLXoM3l
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ7TlcL3MY
The spear tip struck the armor.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfTp9AUIK
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzBBzoJbrv
But only for an instant.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2AiiZyXUT
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdMZGfyl4Q
Armor broken!
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboW6WfoErK
Critical Hit, HP -999.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj90pyTHDs1
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTNvoAwjyr
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpqpbxLacX
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITmbsX5JQ
