Xuan Yuan’s initially smug expression turned ashen upon hearing Ye Yun’s words.
He had witnessed Ye Yun’s combat power firsthand; an army numbering hundreds of thousands had been instantly obliterated by a single skill, regardless of their initial strength. Such power was beyond even his own father’s capabilities.
*Bang…*
An arrow shattered the foremost shield, and the two behind it exploded in quick succession.
-15649e
-1341e
As the commander of the allied forces, his pre-battle taunt had gone unanswered for a long time. Believing the human race to be terrified by their overwhelming army, he stood atop the first shield, drawing the attention of all.
However, before the commander of the allied forces could even issue the first command to attack, the entire health bar was depleted. His body plummeted from a thousand meters in the sky.
“General Meng…”
Gasps of surprise echoed as dozens of generals soared from various formations. Meng Yu’s corpse was caught by a general from the aerial formation.
“Kill!”
The city gates burst open, and Mu Ziming, leading the four thousand official members of the Dragon Palace, charged out. Behind them followed over ninety thousand reserve troops.
“What are you guys doing? Charge, I don’t need you to protect me!” A furious voice erupted from the rear of the main force. One hundred or so Dragon Palace members were slowly escorting An Chenyu, a situation that left the cavalry generals, accustomed to charging, feeling extremely stifled.
“General, this is the City Lord’s order. You are only level one now. Once your strength increases, dealing with these weaklings will be a piece of cake,” a player quickly stepped forward to pacify him.
Although they had been assigned to this native under Ye Yun’s command, their true objective was to help this individual level up. After all, his current attributes were far inferior to theirs.
The death of a general was not unrecoverable, but the revival cycle was prohibitively long. In this era where every moment counted, a general’s revival took thirty days. By the time he returned, it would be far too late.
“This… damn it, it makes sense, but we can’t let our liege look down on us! Kill!”
An Chenyu seemed to have undergone a transformation after becoming Ye Yun’s general. His previously somewhat cowardly nature had become significantly tougher, even his speech was filled with resolve.
…
The over one hundred reserve team members looked at him speechlessly. In terms of loyalty, which of them was lower than him? But loyalty also depended on the situation; blind loyalty was not advisable, especially since his revival was not as rapid as theirs.
“Yes, as you command, General. Charge.” Seeing that the main force had already surged out of the city gates, they knew it was time to sweep up the stragglers. Thus, they escorted An Chenyu and charged out.
Outside, the four thousand strongest fighters led by Mu Ziming had already collided with the enemy. Arrows rained down from the sky, and lightning struck like dragons, assaulting the enemy forces.
Although the commander of the nine-city allied forces was dead, they, as elites of their respective divine cities, quickly adjusted their mindset. In fact, the death of their commander made them even more ferocious.
“System Announcement: Congratulations to Fengle City for killing the commander of the nine-city allied forces, Lord Meng Yu of the Demon Realm, and obtaining 50 Jing experience, 360,000 Magic Stones, 50,000 Immortal Stones, 120,000 Demonic Immortal Stones, Flowing Cloud Staff*1, Commander’s Order (Elite), and Eye of the Demon Realm.”
“This is the person you placed so much hope in? He doesn’t seem all that impressive,” Ye Yun remarked regretfully as he watched the chaotic melee below.
He had expected this general to be at least a five-star level after hearing Xuan Yuan’s words, which might have given him an opportunity to recruit him. He hadn’t expected the opponent to be instantly killed when he carelessly lost control of the Human King City’s ballista.
“This…”
The two men were too embarrassed to respond. This slap in the face had come too quickly.
“Perhaps, City Lord, we should also participate in your city’s defense battle?” Xuan Yuan said with a sheepish smile, wishing he could just jump off the city wall.
“As you wish…” Ye Yun replied casually, waving his hand. His mind was entirely focused on the spoils from killing Meng Yu, and he had no intention of engaging with the two of them.
Below the city, under the leadership of the hundred first-tier reserve members, An Chenyu’s level increased almost every minute. In just over ten minutes, his level had already reached twenty-two.
During these brief ten minutes, aside from the four thousand official members and the first-tier reserve team, nearly all of the other ninety thousand-plus members had perished.
Mu Ziming, surrounded by an impenetrable enemy force, wiped the blood from his face. As the damage values in the air grew increasingly dire, he raised his scepter.
Ignoring the continuous single-digit damage he was taking, he glared with furious eyes, yet a faint cold smile played on his lips.
“The heavens are dead, the Yellow Turbans shall rise!”
A profound voice boomed across the battlefield, and a thousand-zhang banner swayed in the air, darkening the sky. Upon the banner, the ethereal figure of a middle-aged man stood, gazing down upon all living beings.
Under his searing gaze, warriors clad in yellow armor suddenly appeared from the ground. To the stunned eyes of the allied forces, they unleashed a saber, instantly killing the nearest foreign invader.
“Hahaha, you dare attack my Fengle City? Then you shall all perish here! Yellow Turban warriors, kill them!” For Mu Ziming, his sole objective was to kill! As for those who broke through his defenses, the city defense structures and the already revived reserve members would handle them.
The ninety thousand Yellow Turban warriors killed over thirty thousand enemies every second, truly becoming killing machines on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun returned directly to the Qitian Tower. He first converted all the various sacred stones Fengle City had accumulated in recent days into gold coins, then extensively upgraded all the arrow towers he had just constructed. In a matter of moments, the five thousand various city defense structures on the city walls all reached level 40!
All at level 40! The gold consumed was enough to train another army of four thousand. However, this was Fengle City’s treasury. Ye Yun could freely dispose of his own share of the profits, while the rest could only be used for city construction.
Flowing Cloud Staff (Legendary)
Usage Level: 120
Spell Attack: 12,000,000
…
Damn it, it requires level 120 to use. By the time I reach that level, what use will this attack power be?
Ye Yun glanced dismissively at the staff and abandoned it, tossing it directly into Fengle City’s vault. He wondered which idiot would use such a high contribution value to exchange for this equipment. Afterward, Ye Yun once again focused on the other two items.
