Chapter 24: Set Equipment: Python-Head Moon-Sundering Spear
Ma Chao entered the field. With a shake of the reins in his hand, the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear suddenly thrust forward.
With one spear strike, a spiraling force instantly erupted, directly piercing and killing the three soldiers in front of him.
Then, without losing momentum, he charged toward the trapped White Dragon Cavalry.
“Men, form up!”
Following Ma Chao’s low shout, the hundred White Dragon Cavalry trapped within the formation all had their expressions shaken. For a moment, it was as if they had found their pillar of support, and they fought with all their strength toward Ma Chao’s side.
Luo Hu saw this, and his expression darkened.
“Brat, how dare you ruin my good thing? You deserve death!”
With a low shout, the Mountain-Splitting Axe in his hand immediately swung toward Ma Chao.
Ma Chao’s expression remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
Even against the level-twenty Zhang Baiqi, he had never felt fear, let alone against this minor general before him.
Kill!
Killing intent appeared between his brows. The long spear in his hand thrust out repeatedly, bringing up bursts of wind-breaking sound. Almost in an instant, he had already killed his way before Luo Hu.
Luo Hu’s heart jolted. He only felt a wave of killing intent rushing straight at him, and shock could not help but appear on his face.
So... so strong!
His breathing became hurried. As his hands moved, he hastily lifted the Mountain-Splitting Axe in his hands and blocked it in front of himself.
In the next second, Ma Chao’s spear pierced forward and struck the axe blade.
With just one spear strike, the Mountain-Splitting Axe was struck until it trembled violently. Luo Hu’s arms shook, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger split open, and he nearly lost his grip on the axe in his hand.
The second spear strike landed again.
A tremendous force surged over, directly making Luo Hu feel as if the muscles in his arms were tearing apart. Naturally, he could no longer hold the Mountain-Splitting Axe in his hand. The axe fell from his grasp and smashed toward the ground.
However, before Luo Hu’s Mountain-Splitting Axe could fully hit the ground, Ma Chao’s third spear strike arrived, directly piercing through Luo Hu’s chest.
Fatal Strike. HP -999.
Luo Hu silently fell from his horse. A small ball of light appeared, but Ma Chao reached out and scooped it into his inventory.
When the surrounding bandits saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically in an instant. Their morale completely collapsed, and they immediately tried to flee backward.
However, before these bandits could escape, Ma Chao raised his arm and shouted.
The surrounded White Dragon Cavalry took advantage of this moment to break free. They charged toward Ma Chao one after another, gathering behind him and reorganizing their formation. Then, with Ma Chao as the arrowhead and the White Dragon Cavalry behind him as the shaft, they charged forward fiercely, transforming into a white stream of cold iron as they rushed ahead at extreme speed.
With Ma Chao as the leader commanding the cavalry’s strength, the power the entire White Dragon Cavalry could unleash was several times stronger than before.
If the power coefficient the White Dragon Cavalry had displayed earlier was 1,
then right now, under Ma Chao’s command, the power coefficient they could unleash was 5.
Moreover, this coefficient was only the current initial power coefficient. It was because Ma Chao had only just started leading this cavalry force, and their cooperation was still lacking somewhat. They still needed time to adjust and develop coordination.
Otherwise, the power they could unleash would be even stronger, likely reaching around 10.
Under Ma Chao’s leadership, this group of White Dragon Cavalry erupted with formidable strength. Along the way, they cut down these bandits as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
After roughly two quarters of an hour, Ma Chao returned with the White Dragon Cavalry, who had been baptized by a fierce battle. He bowed before Xiao Wen and said,
“My Lord, I have fortunately not failed your command! Our army suffered zero deaths and thirty-two light injuries. We killed over seven hundred enemies, captured twelve alive, and fewer than ten escaped.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded and replied, “Very good! General, have arrangements been made for the ten who escaped?”
“Replying to my Lord, scouts have already been sent to secretly follow them. We will definitely be able to find the location of their stronghold headquarters!” Ma Chao said.
“In that case, good.”
Xiao Wen nodded. Then his gaze landed on Ma Chao, and he continued, “I will leave those scouts to you, General. I believe you certainly will not disappoint me.”
“Yes!” Ma Chao clasped his fists and replied.
After dismissing Ma Chao, Xiao Wen’s gaze could not help but fall upon the ball of golden light inside his inventory space.
This ball of golden light was the equipment dropped after killing Luo Hu.
It was a long spear, glowing with silver light.
[Python-Head Moon-Sundering Spear]
Type: Weapon
Grade: Silver
Attribute: Attack Power +25
Set: One of the Python-Head Three-Piece Set (1/3)
Set Attribute: ???
Overview: One of a weapon set forged by an anonymous master blacksmith. Gathering the complete Python-Head Three-Piece Set can trigger an unexpected effect.
This spear is rather good.
Xiao Wen clicked his tongue and stared at the silver spear in his inventory, sighing emotionally. In his heart, he was naturally quite delighted.
It was not because Silver weapons were rare.
Rather, it was because...
This was set equipment.
In the early stages of the game, equipment was scarce, and sets with additional attributes were even rarer.
To a certain extent, a complete Silver-grade equipment set could even rival low-end Gold equipment in value.
And if this type of equipment were used as sacrificial material for Army-Breaking Strike, it would undoubtedly make his attack even stronger!
Good stuff!
This thought flashed through Xiao Wen’s mind, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Just as he was thinking this, a system notification sounded.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for successfully completing the hidden quest — Territory Defense Battle.
Reward: Random Territory Building Draw Chance x1 (Non-repeatable!).
The notification sounded in Xiao Wen’s ears. Immediately after hearing the final words “Non-repeatable,” his expression suddenly became rather strange.
It seemed that things really were the same as in his previous life.
When the great change arrived and the tinder of the Starry Sky Civilization descended, the entire game, and even all of Blue Star, began to undergo new changes.
Mm...
Pay-to-win players were being targeted!
Xiao Wen silently ridiculed this in his heart, withdrew his gaze, and directly proceeded with the draw.
A familiar roulette wheel appeared before his eyes. Then light and shadow spun, the halo shifted, and it pointed toward one of the sections.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for obtaining the unique territory building: Altar of State
At the same time Xiao Wen completed the draw, a grand voice resounded between heaven and earth. It was the arrival of a server-wide announcement.
Announcement: Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for being the first to trigger and perfectly complete the Territory Defense Battle quest. This announcement is hereby issued. All players, please remain vigilant!
The notification sounded in his ears. In the next second, the chat channel and game forum immediately exploded.
[March Beacon Fires]: Fuck! What the hell is a Territory Defense Battle? Do our territories still need to be defended?
[Residual Sunset, Floating Smoke]: Heh! The person upstairs is really ignorant! Didn’t you notice that those villages you occupied before all had flags planted in them? Those flags represent different bandit forces. If you snatch someone else’s territory, naturally they’ll come back to take it!
Don’t fucking ask me how I know! I’ve already gone back to before liberation overnight, and I’ve taken my precious three-star general and run away.
[Eight-Second Real Man]: Fuck! Is it that terrifying? Then should I still attack this level-two village? Should I withdraw first and defend for a while?
[Alone and Wanting Some Peace]: This is fucking inhumane! They actually created a Territory Defense Battle? Are there any big shots who know how to avoid it, or maybe can make a guide? I still have two coins in my pocket. Offering a heavy price to buy one!
