66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAxmgzKBv
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzZND6Rsw8
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh835UiSyvQ
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr8b0nF6WO
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSO96Ymdw
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGOJnRrpyw
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdnYDkUM1I
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOLvgGwsS6
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWKM77oRUW
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA16eqhdz4
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnx4pI25Ur
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81GFldeeNW
A sharp neigh followed.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5XG1PsYjt
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKReiRTT86
Mount Skill · Trample!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG9ki4eUqu
[Trample]
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hx3Aag7Q
Type: Mount Skill
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGnMhmDDuI
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH8GLNy8lo
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xbFn9eXQG
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAgQPY9J3H
Ma Chao immediately moved.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTxHDqVAbf
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kx9WSGXq7
Critical Hit, HP -999.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLUiK9ni8R
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwI3PDsG8Y
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLtzOg9mtF
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdT8pMjpXJ
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnkABNmKB
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCbVS8T0gM
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyx16r7FUi
The notification sounded beside his ear.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm2E2gYE76
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEr7eDHFE
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJajK08trt
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewlJ6PgV3M
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoctDIDNOc
Kill! Kill! Kill!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwPKRX0xkp
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4cX031wO
Critical Hit, HP -999.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnDnnXUsnh
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtd41GNCx6
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgNj6qkGGR
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdSPoVQb5t
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnEP097Y7F
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoULlDcBzp
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfgnr0AnP0
The notification sounded once more.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShUXBrhrYL
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB7JdaneXw
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCcdqDh7yB
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4jtIbfgAh
Could Ma Chao handle them?
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTRXTgAj92
He probably could.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgJmmJGPs
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv5CpBqK8v
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wYaNULzoP
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfbuFCGMPL
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMXf9CF6ZM
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38Q6iaElG
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciXQRxQAuL
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJin1E5KfvY
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfoj4RNO8N
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4FqL5Ltfq
He needed to wait a little longer.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP2tQ16Dfy
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNqOxvLS2r
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWfdUcxGkf
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV5r2KYA7y
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeaevsxX5E
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVysDmGWlb
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONS9d5a5Hy
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhOa0yJDWe
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu42DCwL1G5
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIzqgvMjB6
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgitqmFIJT
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ndjeTQvOi
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzrhscHrqD
If anything, it was even stronger.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrAqdMWKs8
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFe5PIVhs
This would be a hard battle.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhc2tipS5N
"Kill!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Wh4ckr9y
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVjlJfDzW
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8q1jfa18h
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmBDE9fbm
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6wALkkwVq
A red damage number floated upward.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNPmPvyWwe
Blocked, HP -10.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pJjzrSCK
The damage appeared.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XFXEN3NC5
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSSFyra7jb
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QNAhVzsH
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ4bM2PkO3
This was not an isolated incident.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJTAFpp8yM
It was the norm.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHLrtocYiE
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQlNrVXdIN
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrT5utJ4c
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNruOOAmYah
The spear tip struck the armor.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxOnhMiKXW
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5LTsdRpr
But only for an instant.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFrh8r9Ne
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTGcWxp5BE
Armor broken!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesyg9chNDw
Critical Hit, HP -999.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe01Tzb0le
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODxiRsfNO6
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyYYCf0rO
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOZdKjAXg5
