18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9NMxd37q
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTOqUHd2z1
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvPCKlztQ
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGEDJMUWAO
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80urVVWPbC
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUD6Ji5bSv
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKOM5GOV4
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKcRHAu2C0
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUrF5Qi6g
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJQUFrSeKf
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhip2MtvCia
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7yQ6qP9kX
A sharp neigh followed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJ6Z3eZVj
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLhzvMFdQ7
Mount Skill · Trample!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5k1XBQvHi
[Trample]
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmE5SSMQUP
Type: Mount Skill
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCda4z4Fjc8
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZYY1PeIkh
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8maGte62Y
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe9us3BqzW
Ma Chao immediately moved.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIy14IQigd
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57e8qsIjj
Critical Hit, HP -999.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IABzfmacU
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHN4CnRib
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzdZ6Ahnmg
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDYmv8vpH
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobT633kxk2
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwqLD2A9k
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQoR6fhIJq
The notification sounded beside his ear.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SjMYXL6R9
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IO3lcJDoC
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDaqRMXD1
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSx1GneNz
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5X1b6Dgt
Kill! Kill! Kill!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf53ueS4LQv
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwnZVfobkZ
Critical Hit, HP -999.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3l2ao48yP
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXtXMC3I3s
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVW3nl8ek
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NjB3Z7rOe
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFvMrpvSO
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNxvXweBCq
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XHruay7z
The notification sounded once more.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ISya1xlT
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYk6wqERNN
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHlXy1uv1
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWxzx28zNC
Could Ma Chao handle them?
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ57ua702c
He probably could.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PJpabP5Lr
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBux5aKtBp
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4kygoqS8d
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94CoM83ExR
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ114eHTB5HI
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMy41FgJCr
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCohBmCHQh
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xoeZObPJ
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcs2yV27h8
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrpGe1OX2C
He needed to wait a little longer.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb6j27zWL8
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOh6ELot6
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABa47L3PEz
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TKkMBGrd
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoDPnTOrcg
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOAYqllq86
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgYbEafsM3
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUslKTB6j5f
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFaeL978HT
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpV0SwtnV
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093a74jAku
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5sGoYQddX
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsofDgpCRpv
If anything, it was even stronger.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpmIKlIbUN
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRLrFj5MSd
This would be a hard battle.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1epouuE8MG
"Kill!"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNPOoT0mgT
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv240bI8k2
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnC2QxEije
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VphqxewPb
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwgYkxC5BZ
A red damage number floated upward.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn8feWhZKs
Blocked, HP -10.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddi3EDnU7r
The damage appeared.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS9V28Hwre
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgPV4SJIG9
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOJSEvC1VB
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr6TJY1SxA
This was not an isolated incident.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtBLZvVzv0
It was the norm.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuaSt5LESP
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8LLEyERYk
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeOHHr7mXc
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5j4iuSZYi
The spear tip struck the armor.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnGk6dIFeP
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHSX0M1I3c
But only for an instant.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEQTkGlFtL
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvcpTOSB4
Armor broken!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzf43LTT39
Critical Hit, HP -999.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DWtD7iSG4
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1TMKlAl3F
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA66WJAuKnq
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Do6qWgXc
