Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25: First Kill

With a loud cry, Wu Ba shouted, "Brothers! The Han army has surrounded us now. If we don’t fight to the death, we are certain to die!"

This statement ignited the morale and fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban soldiers. They were ready to face death with determination.

Their combat effectiveness instantly increased several times over.

Wu Ba secretly activated his commander skill, which could enhance the combat capabilities of his soldiers.

Around Wu Ba, there were also nearly a hundred second-tier troop units known as Yellow Turban Strength Warriors. Each of them was burly, skilled in martial arts, and wielded massive hammers, showing great ferocity and courage.

"Charge with me, and let’s take on the Yu Province troops!"

"Let’s do it!"

"Let’s do it!"

"Let’s do it!"

Just at that moment, the stronghold’s gates ultimately couldn’t withstand the relentless assault from Long Chen’s forces, and they fell.

The Yu Province troops charged forward like rampaging beasts, raising clouds of dust, and their fighting spirit soared.

The two forces collided at lightning speed, creating massive shockwaves.

Boom, boom, boom!

Under the protection of the Zhou Tai’s Xuanwu Shield and the Xuanwu Decision, Long Chen didn’t receive much damage or impact from the clashes.

Jiang Qin used his Sea Dragon Decision, moving like a sea dragon, and his Flowing Light Blade moved at incredible speed as he rampaged through the enemy lines.

Long Chen exerted all his strength with the Blood-Drinking Blade, continuously decapitating the Yellow Turban soldiers and attacking despite his exhaustion.

These large human heads were sources of experience points! freewebnoveℓ.com

His experience points increased rapidly in this battle.

He was already likely hundreds of times ahead of other gamers in terms of experience points!

The Blood-Drinking Blade absorbed blood and increased its attack power, making him even more powerful as the battle continued.

The Yellow Turban Strength Warriors formed a formation, and they were incredibly fierce, but under the assault of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, they were forced to create a gap in their formation.

Wu Ba’s stamina had long been depleted, and he was filled with dread facing these extraordinary fighters. He desperately turned to escape in this moment.

The blood on the armor and the bloody large blades of Long Chen and his companions had terrified him.

Especially since these fighters seemed to have boundless stamina.

"Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, it’s time!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Cold Moon!"

"Dragon Slaying Strike!"

Wu Ba’s body was instantly covered in blood, and his health bar was reduced by more than half, leaving only a thread of blood.

Seeing an opening, Long Chen, with the last of his strength, forced the Blood-Drinking Blade to perform the "Crescent Moon Slash."

Buzz!

Wu Ba’s enormous head fell to the ground, his face filled with reluctance, his bulging eyes showing fierce defiance.

Long Chen was panting heavily, his face pale, and his stamina depleted. At this point, even an ordinary foot soldier could easily defeat him!

"Ding! Congratulations on slaying the Yellow Turban leader, Wu Ba. You have gained 10,000 experience points and 1,000 reputation points."

"Ding! First kill of the Yellow Turban leader. You have gained +5 to all attributes, a purple-grade premium gift package, and 1,000 silver coins."

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to level 35. You have received 10 free attribute allocation points..."

Such rich rewards!

In the midst of danger, fortune is truly found, Long Chen thought to himself.

He then decided, "Allocate 5 points to Strength and 5 points to Stamina."

He immediately checked his attribute panel:

[Name]: Long Chen, alias Jueming

[Rank]: Village Chief

[Title]: None (Reputation: 1,200)

[Level]: 35 (Max Level: 100)

[Strength]: 50 (Max: 80)

[Strategy]: 15 (Max: 70)

[Endurance]: 25 (Max: 70)

[Domestic Affairs]: 15 (Max: 70)

[Charm]: 100 (Enhanced by the "Dragon and Phoenix Amongst Man" Legendary Gold Talent)

[Awakening]: None

[Equipment]: Blood-Drinking Blade (Blue-grade Outstanding...)

[Skills]: Heavy Strike (D-grade...), Crescent Moon Slash (C-grade...)

[Martial Arts]: None

[Talent]: Dragon and Phoenix Amongst Man (Legendary Gold Talent) (Charm 100, Increases all attributes of subordinates by 30%)

[Wealth]: 1,860 silver coins

.....

This directly elevates everything!

Currently, it appears that the lack of martial arts and skills is preventing significant improvement in combat capabilities.

By the way, the system provided a purple-grade premium gift package. Let’s open it and see what’s inside.

"Ding! Open the purple-grade premium gift package..."

"Obtained Wood - 5,000, Stone - 5,000, Iron Ore - 3,000, and Food Supplies - 5,000."

"Obtained a purple-grade premium crafting blueprint: [Zhuge Crossbow]*1."

.....

This is incredible! Just the abundance of resources is already excellent. With these resources, the progress of upgrading Dragon Village will accelerate. If Dragon Village upgrades again, it will become Dragon County. Though it’s only a small county, it’s an achievement that surpasses the current state of affairs. This will significantly enhance my overall strength.

Now, let’s talk about this purple-grade premium crafting blueprint, [Zhuge Crossbow]. It’s a powerful artifact, only second to the strongest orange-grade legendary crafting blueprints. And it’s a purple-grade premium [Zhuge Crossbow], which is impressive. Zhuge Crossbows can fire multiple shots, and thanks to system improvements, they have greatly extended range. If there’s enough material, mass production can even lead to the creation of crossbowmen, which are equivalent to third-tier troops.

Let’s see the crafting materials for [Zhuge Crossbow].

"Ding! Purple-grade premium [Zhuge Crossbow]: Wood - 50, Iron Ore - 30."

That’s quite a demand for iron ore, but it’s manageable for me. I can start by crafting a hundred of them to test their effectiveness. Having these crossbows will give my army a potent weapon that can turn the tide in critical situations!

A smile formed on Long Chen’s lips.

"Lord, the enemy bandits have been defeated, and thousands of Yellow Turbans have surrendered to our forces," Zhou Tai reported excitedly.

"Good! Send five hundred soldiers to escort the surrendered bandits to the Provincial Governor’s office. Then send eight hundred soldiers to search for Wu Ba’s treasures in the eight secret hiding places."

Long Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

After dealing with these bandits, the next important task is to search for their hidden treasures. This is one of Long Chen’s main methods for sustaining his forces through war.

With Wang Yun’s support, Long Chen won’t have to buy supplies for his troops. The spoils can go directly into Long Chen’s treasury to serve as the primary foundation for Dragon Village’s development.

Just as Long Chen was lost in thought, Zhou Tai’s shout interrupted his reverie.

"Lord, there’s something unusual here. Please come and take a look!"

"What’s going on?" Long Chen asked, intrigued.

Zhou Tai held a battered and ancient-looking book, its pages yellowed with age.

Long Chen carefully examined the book and became increasingly astonished.

"This... this is unbelievable!" Long Chen exclaimed.

"Why would Wu Ba have such a divine item!!!"

"I can’t fathom it! I can’t fathom it! But... it’s a shame. This book is already in tatters. It seems to be just a fragment. If I could get the complete book, then..."

"Then I would benefit immensely!!!"

Long Chen couldn’t help but express his amazement.
