Chapter 193: Kill Dong Zhuo, Get Loot!
"The Tiger and Leopard Army, hear my command, charge from the flanks and crush them!!!"
In an instant,
the dark golden heavy armor of the five thousand Tiger and Leopard soldiers seemed to be coated in sunlight.
They shone brightly, dazzling to the eye!
They moved faster than ever before!!!
Bang—
The two armies collided...
In Niu Fu’s shocked gaze, his once invincible Western Liang cavalry was... was utterly defeated...
There were no less than twenty thousand casualties...
Under Guo Jia’s terrifying skill [Ghost Scheme of the Left], the entire Western Liang army suffered heavy losses.
But it wasn’t over yet.
From the sky, a seductive pink mist suddenly dispersed.
The Western Liang soldiers who were touched by this pink mist lost the light in their eyes and began to slaughter their comrades indiscriminately.
Seeing this from afar, Guo Jia nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself:
"It seems the strength of the lady is not to be underestimated! She can actually cause the enemy troops to fall into a state of confusion and engage in indiscriminate attacks."
Indeed, the one who caused the Western Liang army to mistakenly kill their comrades was Diao Chan using her SSS-level skill [Closed Moon].
At the same time, it also reduced the enemy’s stamina attribute by 50%.
Seizing the opportunity, Guo Jia immediately ordered the entire army to assault!
In this battle, they killed thirty thousand enemies and captured another thirty thousand.
Only forty thousand of the hundred thousand Western Liang army managed to escape from Chang’an city.
Inside the palace, Dong Zhuo was already on the verge of death.
Honestly, Dong Zhuo being able to hold out so long under the combined attack of so many five-star generals and the near-max-level Lu Bu was a testament to his strength as the strongest early-game boss in "The Grand Lord".
"Dong Zhuo! Your defeat is inevitable. Your Western Liang army has completely collapsed!"
Long Chen shouted coldly at Dong Zhuo after receiving the battle report.
This voice was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
"Wha... What... I... I don’t believe it!!!!"
Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and sighed, his massive body covered with wounds and blood.
Lu Bu looked coldly at this former adopted father, with only coldness and no other emotion in his eyes.
"Die!"
With that, he was about to strike with his halberd.
Long Chen quickly stopped him, saying, "My lord, let me finish this wretch. I will give you his head afterward, how about that?"
Without hesitation, Lu Bu nodded in agreement.
For him, not having to kill personally was best; after all, this was once his adopted father...
Seeing Lu Bu’s willingness, Long Chen was overjoyed!
Dong Zhuo, after awakening, was a terrifying powerhouse, and the experience points he held must be immense!
If he could kill him, his level would surely soar rapidly!
Without further ado, Long Chen performed a hand seal, and his Qinggang Sword was instantly enveloped in golden light, with a golden dragon coiling around the blade.
Like a true dragon, its roar was loud and resonant.
Bang!
Boom!
The Qinggang Sword turned into a golden dragon and pierced Dong Zhuo’s heart.
"Ding! Critical hit, damage -645."
Dong Zhuo’s ten-zhang-tall body collapsed with a thunderous crash, like a tall building crumbling in an instant.
He lay in the hall like a mountain of flesh.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the awakened Dong Zhuo, experience points +..."
"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up..."
"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up..."
...
"Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 87, gaining 10 free attribute points."
After some thought, Long Chen allocated all the points to his strategy attribute.
It seemed that his 65 points in strategy were a bit low. freёwebnovel.com
Since many of Long Chen’s powerful skills relied on strategy points, the higher his strategy, the more damage he could inflict.
Therefore, Long Chen mainly focused on enhancing his strategy attribute, aiming to bring it up to the same level as his 90 points in martial strength.
No choice, being proficient in both physical and magical skills required such difficulty.
But the end result was very satisfying, being able to unleash power far beyond that of other lords.
Opening his current attribute panel:

The feeling of leveling up nine levels in one go was exhilarating!
After adding the attribute points to strategy, Long Chen instantly felt his mind clearer and more agile, and his meridians thicker.
These were the meridians needed for casting spells.
Even his dantian became more expansive, the spiritual energy within it more refined, condensing into droplets of liquid.
This allowed Long Chen to hold more spiritual energy in his dantian, and the spells he cast would have higher damage due to the more refined dantian.
In addition, after Dong Zhuo’s death, he dropped a lot of equipment.
The ground was glittering with brilliance, and Long Chen quietly collected everything into his backpack.
Most of what he took were equipment, leaving a large portion of gold and silver treasures for Lu Bu.
This made Lu Bu, who had been frowning, relax his brow. "Indeed, the reason I like this Long Chen is because he has a sense of propriety. Hahaha!"
Long Chen knew that if he took everything for himself, it would probably cause Lu Bu’s favorability towards him to plummet.
After storing away the equipment, Long Chen smiled at Lu Bu. "My lord, it’s been a long time since we parted ways that day. You can have these gold and silver treasures!"
Lu Bu stepped forward and patted Long Chen’s shoulder heavily, laughing loudly. "Hahaha! To fight alongside you is something I never thought of before. Since Jueming is so kind, it would be unwise to refuse. I’ll graciously accept."
Immediately, Lu Bu unceremoniously claimed the gold and silver treasures for himself.
Seeing Lu Bu’s action, Long Chen silently shook his head. "Hmm, I originally wanted to win over Lu Bu, but seeing his conduct now... Maybe it can be used, but cautiously..."
At the same time, Lu Bu’s favorability towards Long Chen rose to 53.
They were already considered good friends.
