65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWCyxk44K
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPumcdqYZdz
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEBcRAtq0w
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA8VzuHeO6
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj06npUgpM
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2qw4VWTdc
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuMTiQUFjI
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3TaPvVLzO
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LJnstZHfW
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzuzCyu4oQ
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAiFuFsW1d
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lnnT3PRVC
A sharp neigh followed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDStcPTuBv
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWiNDHHMwb
Mount Skill · Trample!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnI6690FlI
[Trample]
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMihJDpTL4N
Type: Mount Skill
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0hKS2QE9N
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAooEWDlLH
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIlDfRK50
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQuB9NSyxO
Ma Chao immediately moved.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU1hyx4WOI
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxotk222l3
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTQdal6T4e
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV8b7wKg9S
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EZ4DyjAye
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ072GTBup1W
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLC3ArODD
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZhS9s8vWV
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8dH7FMF1y
The notification sounded beside his ear.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtER1fSQga4
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1STYTtN5Bs
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDPlBBURi
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLauvvIJx90
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9wbNo5Q52
Kill! Kill! Kill!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagYstfUQz
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxYGFPlYSe
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOlRes3p2h
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyM11yhFL0
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH20CVs3WY
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckl38CSfN
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFnoY3okc
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJ2k8pLUR
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudTx3ceYdP
The notification sounded once more.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEQBTAf5o
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOQgxGqetB
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VeTZjXyvs
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdnOwwcpk0
Could Ma Chao handle them?
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR52v6QXC9c
He probably could.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamVCBwQEwd
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Mwx44hkW
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd027xMTi9
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHL5MM9Og
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1s9uXSueJ
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwqbEyj1Ev
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhFryKEkBa
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPn6oHBd4o
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f3Jt3mmS0
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp3SNEAbJh
He needed to wait a little longer.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMM2r2RuWj
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYlEXSPbl
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKRP7p9SGR
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSacb4YXK1
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mnyg0tu5z
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMBBPjfSx9
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqPEE03AC
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeayWFOyjMx
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUsKSU3HrR
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwR7a4Tzu
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEs9JGb2q
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhLF9sV48
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQBwSzdd9
If anything, it was even stronger.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOhOivs5TU
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NoHrdHLIL
This would be a hard battle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xyBAXe8fm
"Kill!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpguNl3Ly
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWMkRwXGsz
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2f01D07s
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV42NABsFF
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx83w5q4Fj
A red damage number floated upward.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnssnlTtJ
Blocked, HP -10.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYCcUOMzSW
The damage appeared.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyjGYqcvhr
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuXhUHYerl
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB1PmkaC6A
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVOqSVRez
This was not an isolated incident.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ28gCQGLM
It was the norm.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YIh1QIyR1
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGieziuymP
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI8CtqCD3O
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFgAE22Guy
The spear tip struck the armor.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeKWhm4HcS
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NuJ8haUTU
But only for an instant.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6GVoOiLEQ
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaCvZRXgQl
Armor broken!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0lXLmOrFc
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZqrO9JbF
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazQMDpv8DU
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT539De4rB
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRhaCBoQfC
