65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwkuMQOqA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZgphPz5PS
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlSDzPiW7
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmmyaq2MR6
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0gHsAuEbH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJZ7mnQYAv
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYsdQXzBqr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGELAeaK1S
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh5KjDAoxr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtayqpDBkHD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7YCEXACkC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJBZsXcm7
A sharp neigh followed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5vuMhAmKL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6rlbS9Jo1
Mount Skill · Trample!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOef0pYUS9
[Trample]
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTSBChufB0
Type: Mount Skill
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2eNR9Klz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgRpzYzQmF
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0eRFGSlH
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iGZB6OutV
Ma Chao immediately moved.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamexGbEOZA
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEAU8wXUMG
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QAgVPo3JR
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB28zkDJzJ
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRi6yULXZo
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5r46V49oH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1sIdIFzjl
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnONJxSOEiB
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO8AXxzKqi
The notification sounded beside his ear.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpb8v6m58r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7nUTxbtm3
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJQIRSTzQi
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2muIrtzGH
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzAMJZt8O4
Kill! Kill! Kill!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOMr7s50U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB7y8xK3Xx
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzrGjsGfnW
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7sU4434bS
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPm5QWDlQm
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3of29CjXZT
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SbSp37MtH
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSz0sGFv2x
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmyIQKtHI
The notification sounded once more.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwSOKhQPgR
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkpMPRWDSK
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4A4askG3J
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU1GVgPES5
Could Ma Chao handle them?
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWRqy3vJPO
He probably could.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LHjqQEjz7
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU41AcV6bxl
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgen1QsXV
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiZxTxhOfe
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1ZQH1MmG
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxNUSkgGWn
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjHGmbZSDQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUSASNjK1D
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqieyLhKX9s
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2uYJNeT5y
He needed to wait a little longer.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsptWnGUcJq
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB41H11nCy
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y3FtMbeoF
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3o6smmG4g
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMTFPQEijk
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOkwBwjJqP
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkP8EkRm8d
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8M22v7gI
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81evLgnTnI
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoQ8X6mxzX
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb5y7fekIv
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt69HgfSHS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrdsJR9j3m
If anything, it was even stronger.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4MtNLL0b
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFBJJfFJeG
This would be a hard battle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEkzqbtcAV
"Kill!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffHwfAvb5C
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObEp45ndUk
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQVKY2X5uw
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhrJF2zh2C
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXUkJdOcM
A red damage number floated upward.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXbxqX7E3x
Blocked, HP -10.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvzTsyhZjH
The damage appeared.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHSFG3Vj3
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloqVaFb5Cl
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJAAFDJj3B
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3RZMg24M
This was not an isolated incident.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs0zfn5vEv
It was the norm.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx47QQJuuk
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRIdCzcRdc
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW3ZLAKQEx
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Jj7tmu9F
The spear tip struck the armor.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuuzl1yijQ
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irerJumVQ
But only for an instant.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSorWbqaRQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkd9E1M36B
Armor broken!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqViBXqVSC
Critical Hit, HP -999.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1NTE60Th
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVfK2aQaQ
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLDuK8vcP
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfatUiUyvl
