67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJS9AXXjm
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOCTHX2qFm
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5MHNoMBU
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM97CnFZRY7
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevXgt1SaGu
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUssN57EJpw
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQx3RGklV
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOJRVEXYwW
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt44BaDKwY
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RlESfh83s
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tkDQwdDp
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDKzyDSuBY
A sharp neigh followed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRezI6O0d7G
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8mWh4NwTv
Mount Skill · Trample!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmOWjbZ7vJ
[Trample]
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVXVrSLKr
Type: Mount Skill
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hinciwmBh
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSiINy0STx
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jGuSl5tjN
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHSmNyzAxF
Ma Chao immediately moved.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EfaVgZO8M
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VBXLtCHwp
Critical Hit, HP -999.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mbF2mZ6Nw
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcA1uw3jTI
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReiCVXrKpI
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DDhfglOcZ
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl21RAZOkWY
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqgo69TY6
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM30Bw42vLq
The notification sounded beside his ear.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7EZ4QtOUo
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAg9ilKukt
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyQtnzwWTn
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHkOvi13iU
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CqV0G1iub
Kill! Kill! Kill!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhO070FWK4
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV7D31C8jz
Critical Hit, HP -999.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjg5uSCMzM
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsmwFk40Gz
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyAr4xGtxz
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2w7IB6DH
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZ1km4t5Z
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAkAt2DIAp
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdXYJBZvf
The notification sounded once more.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ97nDQKGj
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPJkjk1XqV
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVU7ou5GLU
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfDjdhqVo
Could Ma Chao handle them?
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFYVaOWRix
He probably could.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8JTbxx03R
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1CF8BHe1c
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQeA4tSkkT
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspEA6yvMPJ
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOA0Z8oZxv
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2jAv1StRM
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlTaaltiYh
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlK9b1Kngh
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc7G8nMoSi
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434OIdBKrc
He needed to wait a little longer.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNv2d8fHdU
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBk9zEf7WY
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aG12ji79k
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbln8V4L5tH
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbC52FcbZA
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kDyW8i1Pv
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfSiyQ4qt
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzweMLiAYI8
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRRDVp0wBu
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ716Fuq4Yq8
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0Gevoghh
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl078kzrfQ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABIafLl1rp
If anything, it was even stronger.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPeA8IR638
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfxHxZEuuc
This would be a hard battle.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE1XY5YNEJ
"Kill!"
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPkpgwA0DS
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajoTS7gJYk
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY22maFaIKH
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1t2HRPTB1
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh23IcWWQ7N
A red damage number floated upward.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60sgE56Gi
Blocked, HP -10.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9HpPevkW2
The damage appeared.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ylb7RqdUk
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcOrEBK6bW
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuo9r4HeUA
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlI6Cw9uS
This was not an isolated incident.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lhjRZj2Fg
It was the norm.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8XbifNq1
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57JyWCsXy
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTSfSWoAay
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88gSDDbkF7
The spear tip struck the armor.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJivErcCS83
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSk7xy2z93
But only for an instant.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bHsy0Rj7
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdVkpUnEUA
Armor broken!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwKH2c4cEK
Critical Hit, HP -999.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKkWcWttJw
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCdq359NFK
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GQNY0BIyF
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIxMyRmAf
