Chapter 15: First Battle Against the Yellow Turbans, Equipment Appears!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWYqAJTIod
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wv9wbGhps
Slightly frowning as he stared at the armies clashing ahead, Zhang Baiqi's expression turned cold.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS9euaks6A
"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! Form ranks!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Jo6lJbGB
Zhang Baiqi shouted in a low voice.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucri7VaLlD
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6vDLeHLK
Ding! Your subordinate Ma Chao is under attack from Yellow Turban Militia.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxVfpqUbIk
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDs0bSCgP
In Heroes Contend, soldier classes in the early stages were divided into four levels: Militia, Recruits, Soldiers, and Elite Soldiers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0LP6mI5b
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz9sIlRnsI
Militia were the most basic troop type of all. Precisely because they were so basic, Ma Chao felt no fear when facing them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMErVW3UjSl
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAU6dB0xg
A sharp neigh followed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGZLSZBV0J
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu30epbLrb
Mount Skill · Trample!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNTHc2XOsc
[Trample]
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0ykMs4nY
Type: Mount Skill
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVPVYxsHmL
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk6MBbHtP3
Note: When the Trample skill reaches its highest level, it can trigger an Absolute Stun effect!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3mPcG0gC3
The shockwave surged outward, instantly scattering the attacks of the five charging Yellow Turban Recruits.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HTEeQqf5e
Ma Chao immediately moved.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnIyQUNJl
The spear in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, striking directly at their fatal weak points.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiguZOZgLs
Critical Hit, HP -999.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqfMFw5Pc6
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VcxuKVzc
Five flashes of red damage numbers appeared.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAeeaPXaY0
Expressionless, Ma Chao swept his spear and charged toward the remaining recruits.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gk0bxEXP
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Militia at the front had all been slaughtered by Ma Chao.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZbZNv9xWi
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Militia. Mission completion: 10%.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKReT9pbzN
Notice: Yellow Turban Recruits are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzJY3UtyG
The notification sounded beside his ear.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpNXedGb8
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbywGXXuFCx
There were not many Yellow Turban Recruits, only around two hundred.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DRooQH28F
Against the more than four hundred soldiers still under Ma Chao's command, they naturally lacked much resistance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHDXrgpJNl
Especially with Ma Chao charging fearlessly through their ranks, the recruits quickly collapsed in a short period of time.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtegLE6Qaw
Kill! Kill! Kill!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELYgB8pmV7
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYTapmV06
Critical Hit, HP -999.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yNIOoqobR
Critical Hit, HP -999.

...
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOfwS4roh
Red damage numbers continuously flashed through the air.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgiLjvlmQa
Ma Chao's spear struck repeatedly, and the number of enemies he killed continued to rise.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJkeah1dV
Before long, all of the Yellow Turban Recruits lay dead in pools of blood, becoming experience points for Ma Chao.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqioeocffsg
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for killing Yellow Turban Recruits. Mission completion: 30%.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTt9SX1xaf
Notice: Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers are about to arrive. Please prepare yourself.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmybL2nYNIO
The notification sounded once more.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ05fI4rCSx
Xiao Wen's expression stiffened slightly, his face becoming somewhat grim.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteGuk5glEa
Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5s2wDTX32
Jumping directly from Recruits to Elite Soldiers meant an increase of two full tiers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfPuAydBgT
Could Ma Chao handle them?
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmI06afhCw
He probably could.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDaRQQ7NIi
But beyond this point, relying solely on his own strength would likely become difficult.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyvwpGGnC
Looks like this lord will eventually have to step in personally.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznIAC4O7TT
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind as his gaze shifted toward the options in the Lord Skill Bar.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMyW9ddkzV
The skills there included both Self-Created Skills and Inherited Skills.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngckd7btoZ
In his previous life, Xiao Wen had created many powerful skills.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMsFg0OI7U
However, his current level was too low and his equipment far too poor, leaving none of them usable.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfktRO9P5US
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHardR4C7Tg
At the very least, he could hold his own and reduce some of the pressure on Ma Chao.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPURL0gYxF
But it still wasn't time for him to act.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWZJXlVZA
He needed to wait a little longer.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD9anEe9q3
Achieving one hundred percent completion of this hidden mission would not be so easy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0au1ZY3T6Q
While Xiao Wen was thinking this, Ma Chao and his forces had already wiped out all two hundred recruits.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX50Y9ckpv
At this point, the soldiers around him had decreased from five hundred to three hundred and eighty.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH8r115Ja7
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqPEzOsxI9
They hurriedly took the opportunity to rest before the enemy's next wave arrived.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt4gnO9JJ9
About three minutes later, a heavy series of footsteps echoed from the distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw06c37xiw
Looking ahead, one could see a force of one hundred men charging toward them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGduHvoFb
However, this hundred-man force was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban troops.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bH3wJOC1
The earlier soldiers all wore wooden armor and wielded the most basic spears.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRroI8yoAAl
But the hundred soldiers charging forward now carried Horse-Chopping Blades forged from refined iron and wore Brass Armor.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkiRrABsXk
The moment they appeared, they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk6Wi3tRYu
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIh493N1O0
If anything, it was even stronger.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmm9H27OWt
Because of this, when Ma Chao looked at those hundred men, the expression on his face became much more serious.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtI09r2SEN
This would be a hard battle.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfXMZLUq5u
"Kill!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SqcQREFQb
Ma Chao shouted and directly led his three hundred and eighty soldiers into battle.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJAVjhUrJ
One of Xiao Wen's soldiers thrust his spear at a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier directly ahead.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4sSGPfiLv
When the spear struck the armor, a dull clang sounded.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovqN4P0npC
The spear only left behind a white mark before being completely blocked.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf0m07eK5J
A red damage number floated upward.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqIu8zC47
Blocked, HP -10.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3zH1IOrHG
The damage appeared.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsCsllKhs1
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier paid it no attention whatsoever.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmYHxSJT3e
With a savage grin, he swung his Horse-Chopping Blade downward, striking the soldier and knocking him to the ground.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXpjg2bVx
He then rushed forward and hacked several more times, killing him outright.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFGGPc3cN
This was not an isolated incident.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwysXtiPL
It was the norm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8SMJXcD3h
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Wen's forces immediately fell into a suppressed position.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqk67uXVXH
Ma Chao's expression darkened.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYCaNtT736
Looking at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier ahead of him, he thrust the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear forward.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaMfRHO6Bf
The spear tip struck the armor.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0rGFj8q0q
For an instant, Ma Chao felt resistance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2URyxxzdml
But only for an instant.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKpMos8Ig0
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.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBdHhI17Bt
Armor broken!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA55HWuXNs
Critical Hit, HP -999.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUz2K64Ctq
The moment the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier died, two spheres of light dropped from his corpse.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rR6AjSsGg
Ma Chao reached out and grabbed them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7lz5N1dyz
He then connected directly to Xiao Wen's lord inventory and tossed the two light spheres inside.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4ae0IXjI
