Chapter 326: Chapter 258: Mountain Rain Is Coming (4K)_1

Mu Yuan predicted that Lu Liu would have a relatively easy time passing the Hero Trial, but he didn’t expect it to be this easy.

There was no need for any strategies or upgrades.

He was able to defeat the BOSS right at the start.

Upon reflection, it made sense. The Hero Trial adjusted its difficulty according to the level of the trialist, but this adjustment wasn’t necessarily on par with the trialist’s level.

Those with lower levels faced a considerable disadvantage.

When Dead Bone first took part in the Hero Trial, he was merely a greenhand at the apprentice level, and his trial opponents were filled with professional and elite-level ones.

Lu Liu, on the other hand, is now at the fourth-order level, far surpassing the average level of the trialists, especially since this time, it was a multi-player trial.

In a multi-player balance, Lu Liu’s advantage is even greater.

‘Notification: Your soldier ‘Lu Liu’ has been promoted to a Hero Unit.’

‘Notification: ‘Hero Lu Liu’ has received a perfect rating in the trial, which has activated the Hero’s Aura and awakened strategic talent ‘the Fearless’ and strategic skill ‘Will to Break the Enemy Lines’.’

‘Notification: ‘Hero Lu Liu’ has received the divine weapon: Fearless Spear and Shield’

Lu Liu might be a very typical hero, but being typical does not mean weak, he has maxed out all his qualities.

The strategic talent ‘the Fearless’ is an imparting type of talent.

‘Explanation 1: Hero ‘Lu Liu’, when training his own soldiers, has a chance to awaken the talent ‘the Fearless’ in them. Once this talent is acquired, the soldier’s willpower is enhanced, and they are able to bring out 120% of their combat power at all times.’

‘Explanation 2: Whether the soldiers under Lu Liu’s command can awaken the Fearless talent depends on Lu Liu’s training level, training duration, his own level, as well as the level, intelligence, and potential of the soldiers under his command. Moreover, the more soldiers who awaken the Fearless talent, the more feedback Lu Liu will receive, which can enhance his own willpower.’

The strategic skill ‘Will to Break the Enemy Lines,’ is an advanced version of his venue skill ‘Unsettling Battlefield.’

Its effect is simple and direct.

It allows soldiers under his command to ignite the Light of Will in a short period of time.

Although it is not as strong as the constant self-status of the Light of Will, and severely injured soldiers will still fall, the duration of this skill is much longer than the Light of Will.

Compared to Dead Bone’s ‘Legion of Death’, Lu Liu’s strategic skill is the most compatible with his own troops.

‘Will to Break the Enemy Lines’ + Army Soul Embryo.

If Dead Bone’s and Lu Liu’s power and the power of the Undead Legion and Defensive Troops under them are the same… the likely winner could be the Defensive Troops.

The combat power of the Defensive Troops cannot compare with the Undead Legion naturally, but under Lu Liu’s command, it can also definitely bring out a strong force.

Tianyuan Territory now has five heroes, able to share much of the workload.

Although, Duo Lai and Xi Liu don’t really act like heroes at all.

…

In the following days, peace seemed to have been restored.

Tianyuan Territory just kept building more watchtowers, arrow towers, and setting up Thunder Flame Cannons one after another.

It might be because the front-line defense was more robust, or he got used to the pace of the monster tide attacks, Mu Yuan unusually found the environment quite peaceful.

The pressure wasn’t significant.

The situation was easy to handle.

He was accustomed to the routine.

But Red Fog Disaster Moon still persisted.

Whether in the Eternal World or Lanxing, this tranquility felt more like the calm before a storm.

Mu Yuan controlled Lanxing’s computer and logged onto the Tai Xuan Forum.

Newly appointed Lords from all areas, half-old Lords who had held territories for one or two years, had basically now become stable. Those who couldn’t have been eliminated and retired earlier.

“This Red Fog Disaster Moon seems to last a bit longer this time.”

“Yeah, it’s been over a month now, but it still shows no sign of ending.”

“More than half of the territories of the newest Lords have been breached in this period? This is quite brutal, it’s just bad luck.”

“The ones who are even unluckier are the newest batch. That is, the greenhands who have started to be selected and entered the Eternal World half a month ago, pure greenhands, many of them are said to have died.”

As some old player said so, many people suddenly fell silent.

The Eternal World followed a pattern in selecting new players, approximately every half a year.

Now, more than six months have passed since Mu Yuan stepped into this world.

It felt like a very long time ago.

Thinking back to the time six months ago, on the simple selection forum, Mu Yuan saw the tragic experiences of many greenhands – randomly killed by goblins, gray wolves, or walking corpses.

The greenhands cried out for help, with only ten one-star soldiers at the start, they couldn’t last long in the risky areas.

The newest batch of pure greenhands, compared to them, had a slight advantage – the advantage of information.

But they also had a significant disadvantage – environmental disadvantage.

The Red Fog Disaster Moon covered all four directions, there were no truly low-risk areas in the Eternal World anymore. Many new Lords, even if they immediately contacted the local association for help, couldn’t hold on until the reinforcement arrived.

Most of them couldn’t even hold on for one hour, or half an hour before they were invaded by monsters and torn to pieces.

Mu Yuan had also previously ordered the Battle Falcons to scout around, but could not find any traces of new territories. Although there might be quite a few new players, distributed across the vast Eternal World, they were like droplets of water that could not even ripple when dropped in.

The latest batch of greenhands were the most miserable, they couldn’t fight back.

The half-year-old greenhands from the previous batch were also quite tragic, new territories found it hard to withstand the surging monster tide – Lords could indeed request reinforcements, but the support could only help momentarily, if a territory wants to survive in the Eternal World, it has to rely on its own strength in the end.
