Chapter 323: Chapter 257: Hero Trial, Matching Mode (4K)_1

“Prompt: You have used the special object ‘The Hero’s Proof’ on the recipient Fearless Commander·Lu Liu.”

Mu Yuan’s consciousness continuously ascends, penetrating layer after layer of cloudy mysteries, finally entering a new world.

His field of vision becomes incredibly broad, overlooking mountains and fields.

There are towering fortresses standing majestically, with countless strong shooters, imperial guards, halberd guards, mages and other elite warriors stationed on the walls, watching the distance attentively.

However, when Mu Yuan’s gaze moved higher, what he saw was…

Threads of red mist floating between heaven and earth, and a pale blood moon hanging above the towering pass, even in the daylight, it was still visible.

Eerie and ominous.

The entire field of vision seemed to be bathed in red.

…

Lu Liu stood on top of the towering fortress.

On both sides were the elite warriors in formation, with his experience and eyesight, he was able to discern that the majority of these soldiers had reached the elite level, making them bona fide veteran elites.

The soldiers were mostly dressed in silver armor or robes, prominently featuring the emblem of the Pure White Sword.

In front of the central tower, there were three strong figures in treasure armors, apparently, they were commanding officers.

Their treasure armors also bore the conspicuous emblem of the Pure White Sword.

Apart from these individuals, there were a few formidable figures in the distance, whose aesthetics conflicted with those of the surrounding officers and soldiers.

An elven ranger holding a bow with a handsome appearance,

A tower-like brawny man wearing a door-board greatsword and red treasure armor,

A human mage holding a ruby staff, wearing a robe that tended to a light red palette,

A warrior, the top half of his body bare, twisting muscles marked by crimson streaks and golden pupils,

Without intuition, just by the style and appearance, as well as valuable equipment apparent at first glance, Lu Liu was able to identify that these four were all formidable individuals.

His own aesthetic didn’t fit in with his surroundings either.

After all, he was clad in black armor and carrying a giant shield while standing amidst a group of soldiers in silver armor, naturally standing out from the crowd.

Lu Liu did not speak, observing his surroundings.

“Ding!”

“Prompt: Hero trial ‘Stone Mountain Fortress Defense’ has begun, trialists will assume the role of reinforcements to assist the fortress defense, you must hold out for at least ten days.”

“Prompt: Killing enemy forces can earn gold, trialists can use gold to supplement troops and supplies at the Stone Mountain Fortress.”

“Prompt: During the trial period, the trialists will have temporary Hero Power.”

“Prompt: In total, there are five trialists for this trial.”

“Prompt: The Hero’s Trial officially begins.”

Time, which had been stagnant, seemed to officially flow from this moment on.

Lu Liu looked behind him.

He now possessed Hero Power and understood that he had a close connection with these hundred soldiers behind him.

He could command these soldiers as easily as moving his own limbs.

He could also open up the panel to examine the information of the various types of soldiers.

Lu Liu opened it to take a look, inside were 50 imperial guards, 25 halberd guards and 25 strong shooters, all at the initial level of elite.

As a lord himself, he was quite familiar with types of soldiers like imperial guards and halberd guards.

The starting state was not bad.

He then looked at the other trialists. Like himself, they also began with a hundred soldiers of different types.

There were Wood Elf Shooters, Griffins, Nuns, Mages, etc.

Different armies were distinguished by different attire and emblems.

“Thank you for lending a hand to my Pure White Kingdom in this time of crisis,….”

The NPC, who looked like the main general, was mechanically reciting the opening lines.

Very mechanical.

However, neither Lu Liu nor the other four trialists spoke up to interrupt, or said anything out of context with their personas.

The soldiers and officers in the Hero Trials are mostly rigid, only executing orders mechanically, but it cannot be ruled out that NPC officers would respond differently based on the behavior of the trialists.

Some foolish trialists might stumble on this.

And here, probably due to Lu Liu’s high level, the ‘matched’ trialists are obviously not weaklings.

Judging by Mu Yuan’s experience, they were all above third-order.

After the main general had finished detailing the situation, everyone was then free to act.

This was presumably, the preparation time given to the trialists in the early stage.

Several trialists exchanged glances, descended from the fortress, and entered a nearby tea house.

The tower-like brawny man carrying the door-board greatsword couldn’t help but speak up, “You all are trialists, right? Are there teammates in the Hero Trials?”

The mage picked up the conversation, “My lord mentioned that some trials allow troop reinforcements through hiring previous generation trialists, like the renowned ‘Dragon Hunt’, but the hires are merely the projections of previous trialists… You guys are clearly not projections.”

The elven ranger: “Ababa…”

This kid obviously hadn’t awakened his self-consciousness, wanted to speak but didn’t know how, his face showed an aggrieved expression.

Lu Liu gave an ambiguous response, “I’ve also heard about the Dragon Hunt, it’s said to be a difficult trial.”

At this time, the half-naked, golden-eyed young warrior, suspected of possessing dragon blood, chimed in.

He held his head high, a faint smile of superiority at the corner of his mouth:

“The Dragon Hunt is difficult, but that’s in the past.”

“Now, the Dragon Hunt is the easiest trial scenario to achieve perfect evaluation, without a doubt, because…”

Noticing the curious looks from the other trialists, the Dragon Descendant stopped beating around the bush, “Because in the Dragon Hunt, there is a projection of a previous generation trialist with extremely terrifying combat power. As long as you find and hire her, defeating the final BOSS is a piece of cake.”
