After an hour and forty minutes in their journey, the four combatants from Blazing Sun City came across 784 horse riding individuals on military armors.
Finding the leading figure familiar, a name came to Zhou Zhou's mind.
"Lord Kunt."
"Remember the second plan."
He notified Bai Yung, Huang Sai and Sun Can as they continued forward.
Having the thought to communicate with Kunt, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Notification: You have officially come into contact with the local forces of the High Continent!]
[Reward: Common language of the High Continent, general knowledge of the High Continent's language, basic knowledge of the High Continent!]
A large amount of knowledge surged into Zhou Zhou's mind an instant later.
An ordinary person might have fainted.
Fortunately, his current mental strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he only frowned slightly and received this knowledge.
'I've mastered the common language of the High Continent? Nice!'
'There would be no need for a narrator when I communicate with those who aren't my subjects.'
'It seemed that the Supreme Will did not want to stop the communication between the competing lords and the local factions in terms of language. '
'I guess he isn't afraid of the story of the tower of babel.'
He lampooned with a smile before desiring the notification away from his view.
As the mechanostriders got closer to the forces of Kunt, Zhou Zhou shouted.
"Lord Kunt, I bring grave news from the city!"
Initially wary of the four alchemy technological products approaching his forces, Kunt's guard reduce after hearing the shout of the young man in the lead.
"Who are you and who attacked the city?"
Having lost his title as lord of Kunt city thirty minutes ago, he knew the territory token of his city has been seized.
Doing his best to play the role of a terrified subject before his lord, Zhou Zhou arrived close to Kunt before coming down from his mechanostrider.
He bowed as he answered.
"The Kobold Tribe acquired the help of a lord under the protection of the Supreme Will, bringing him to attack the city."
"The lord has a defensive talent that makes our cannons useless against his and Kobold Tribe's forces."
With Zhou Zhou attracting everyone's attention, arrows slid down the sleeves of Bai Yung, Huang Sai and Sun Can.
"Do you have any idea where the territory of the lord is?"
Kunt asked.
He might be able to retrieve his lord title if he seizes back the territory token from the young lord.
"He's within the desert sun territ..."
Zhou Zhou's words came to a halt as blood spurted from the hole in Kunt's neck.
"Lord Kunt!!"
The soldiers around Kunt shouted in shock as their lord held his neck in act of stopping his blood from exiting his throat.
Ending their screams, Bai Yung kept moving as the blood covered arrow in his hand pierced through the necks of three more soldier in Kunt's camp.
"Enemy attack!!"
The 700+ soldiers unsheathed their sabers as chaotic neighs of horses sounded out loud.
Retreating after taking out 8 soldiers in a span of 2 seconds, Bai Yung, Huang Sai and Sun Can stood behind Zhou Zhou.
Activating his area wide skill, Zhou Zhou stomped his leg on the ground.
Bang!!
A huge crater 4 meters deep and 8 meters wide appeared underneath the horses of the subjects of kunt city, pulling them and their riders into the crater.
Stomping on the ground again and again, Zhou Zhou planned to make it difficult for the riders to leap out of the pit.
"Go around the pit!"
A voice yelled out as the remaining soldiers rode their horses around the 16 meters deep pit.
Taking out their bows from their back, Huang Sai and Sun Can began shooting at the approaching soldiers.
Vanishing from where he stood, Zhou Zhou appeared behind an intermediate grade green bronze-tier soldier before thrusting his spear through them.
Moving in a dimension above the Green bronze-tier and black iron-tier soldiers, the reapers of blazing sun desert left nothing but death and blood in their wake.
Enjoying the resistance of the soldiers, Zhou Zhou gave the order to avoid using the mental manipulation skill.
Surprisingly, the order didn't sadden Huang Sai this time.
Whoosh!!
"More."
He muttered as he fixed 2 more arrows on the string of his bow.
Doing his best to predict the movements of the opposing soldiers in battle, he released his hold on the arrows.
Every movement was aimed towards perfection and ease.
Adhering to Huang Sai's views regarding the crossbow, Sun Can gave it up before picking up the bow and training to become an archer.
And having Huang Sai as his mentor, he easily learnt the basic tier skills of an archer with the help of the Hall of Truth.
Quickly fixing and firing one arrow after the other, he punctured the throats of 3 to 4 cloud horse riders in a single second, bringing the feeling of horror down on the riders.
The two archers held nothing back as they killed as fast as they could despite not competing against one another for promotion energy.
They'd already reached their limits with the help from their lord and his crystal ball.
"Esc.."
At the mention of the word, the speaker had his face ruthlessly punctured through by Bai Yung's spear, ending his life.
Letting go of his standard spear, Bai Yung took out his short spears before hurling them at the two riders escaping from the battlefield.
Sinking into the sand covered ground, Zhou Zhou ran circles around the soldiers trapped in the 16 meters pit as his every emergence took the lives of at least a couple of soldiers.
The four combatants of blazing sun city perfectly performed the duty of the grim reaper as they sent the souls of their enemy to the netherworld.
Finishing off the 700+ soldiers in 78 seconds, with each second witnessing the death of at least 10 lives, Zhou Zhou, Bai Yung, Huang Sai, and Sun Can stared at the blood soaked desert as they became aware of something terrifying.
In the view of those below the White silver-tier, they were walking calamities!
'That's must be the way I will feel when I face any being above the elementary grade of yellow gold-tier.'
'Terrific!'
Zhou Zhou mused as he checked the promotion energy remaining in his phantom storage.
[Promotion Energy Storage: 212,606 / 3,000,000 (1,000,000)]
"Attacking the local territories of the High Continent is indeed better than attacking the lords competing for the lord of all races event."
"They give way more promotion energy and loots."
"The disadvantage is the higher probability of death due to the strength of their armies and equipment."
He muttered before pulling the human corpses on the ground into his spatial ring.
Looting Kunt's corpses, he obtained the following:
8 mist cores (Green bronze-tier)!
1 martial arts manual - Gust blade - beginner tier (Green bronze-tier advance grade)!
1 aurora crystal (Green bronze-Tier)!
1 martial artist class change certificate (basic tier)!
9 lord talent crystal fragments (black iron-tier)!
"Finally, a new type of soldier."
Zhou Zhou smiled before checking out the info on the class change certificate.
[Item Name: Martial artist class change certificate]
[Item Level: Basic tier]
[Item Effect: Class change tool for non-professionals! After using it, you can become a basic combat tier martial artist! You will also have the basic theory of martial arts cultivation, one year of normal martial artist combat experience, and the initial strength of a lower-level black iron.]
"I will have 3 more soldiers in reserve after returning to the city."
He muttered before looking at the next loot.
[Martial Arts Secret Manual: Gust blade]
[Secret Manual Quality: Green bronze-tier advance grade]
[Cultivation Effect one: When you use a blade-type arms with all your might, your attack speed can be increased to 5 times per second!]
[Cultivation Effect two: Thirteen gust slash— the ultimate skill of the "Gust blade"! Within a second, strike the enemy 13 times consecutively!]
[Note: The above effects will reach the maximum value when a martial artist reaches the strength of a green bronze-tier advance grade. The cultivation effect obtained by those below the strength of a Green bronze-tier advance grade will decrease.]
Zhou Zhou wasn't disappointed after seeing the note.
"With the help of the Hall of Truth, the concept of limit doesn't exist in my territory."
