Chapter 104: Three-Star Haunted House!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Tru, Adelia, Luo Fend, Su Yu, Xu Que, lead your subordinates, and let’s set off!”
“Wang Qiang, drive your excavator and open a path in front!”
“Yes, my lord!” They replied loudly.
“Rumble!!!”
Wang Qiang excitedly returned to the driver’s seat and started the excavator.
The engine whirred.
In this other world without any machinery, it looked especially out of place.
Tru rode on his Wind Wolf and shouted, “Cavalry soldiers, follow me!”
“Infantry, prepare yourselves!” Luo Feng followed closely behind.
Tap-tap-tap!!
One by one, the soldiers moved orderly to queue either in a vertically or horizontally manner.
Every team strictly followed the orders from the various commanders.
To be able to do that, it was all thanks to the fact that they were all loyalists now that they wouldn’t question orders.
Moreover, after resting for so long, with their equipment changed into a higher-level ones,
all the soldiers were already rubbing their fists in excitement. They could not wait to go to the Haunted House to test the strength of the new equipment.
“Rangers, protect the lord!”
Adelia was not to be outdone and led a group of rangers to the third camp.
With Lin Ye as the core, they formed a human fortress.
The outermost circle was the spearmen, the inner circle was the gladiators, the flanks were the wolf cavalry troops, and at the center were Lin Ye and the rangers with their long-range attacks.
“Target: Next Haunted House!
Thousands of people marched towards the north.
The zombies that were attracted along the way were instantly killed by a rain of arrows before they could even come close.
“Lady Adelia, don’t waste your arrows. Give the foot soldiers in the front row a chance to contribute!”
Tru turned back and complained.
“Sure, I will do that next time.” Adelia smiled.
A few minutes later, another wave of 100 zombies fell under the rain of arrows.
“!!!”
The foot soldiers were filled with bitterness.
Alright, in the end, even the cavalry team led by Tru did not care about martial rules. They rushed over from afar to snatch their contribution points.
“Don’t be anxious. There are many more opportunities. The second Haunted House is just opposite.”
The army passed through the dark fog. After walking for more than a thousand meters, they saw a black house that was three times larger than the one-star Haunted House.
A three-star Level 1 Haunted House?
Lin Ye chuckled and did not seem to care. He took out an electronic megaphone from his huge Meru Ring and said loudly, “Everyone, this is a three-star difficulty Haunted House. The numbers and difficulty of this Haunted House are three times that of the one-star haunted house. Although it’s still trash compared to us if anyone dies…!”
At this point, he paused.
His imposing gaze swept across everyone. The Level 2 Lord’s Skin was paired with the King’s Armor’s special effect, Disdain of The King (200% bonus).
In an instant, all the warriors below Class 3 felt as if a huge rock was pressed down on their backs, and their attributes fell drastically.
But in an instant, everything returned to normal.
“Oh my god, is the lord so powerful?!!”
“One look from him and I almost knelt down!”
“This is too terrifying!”
The Class 1 and 2 soldiers were shocked.
Not long ago, their lord had used the Wind Splitting Bow and they thought that their lord was just pretending.
But in an instant, they were shaken to their core again.
Their lord was still a lord, forever a god!!
Only the soldiers above Class 3 were clear-headed.
That pressure just now was definitely not from the lord, but the special effect of the Class 4 Silver Tier Armor—King’s Armor.
It looked like an invincible bug, but its effect was useless.
It was only useful for those with lower cultivations.
Furthermore, the more people there were, the shorter the duration of its effect.
Like just now, it disappeared within half a second.
They knew about it but they did not expose their lord. All of them pretended to look serious and shocked.
Like this, Lin Ye’s tall figure was instantly reflected in the hearts of every soldier.
“Very good.”
Lin Ye’s expression was calm, but inwardly he was satisfied with the soldiers’ reaction.
He had finally won 1 round.
He continued in a dignified voice, “For the teams whose members have died in battle would be the shame of our territory. Their contribution points from this battle will be nullified. On the contrary, those who rank in the top 300 for the number of zombies killed will have a chance of obtaining a Class 3 attributeless soldier upgrade scroll!”
“For those who are already Class 3, after accumulating contribution points and reaching 1,000 points, you can request for a Class 4 Upgrade Scroll or Body Strengthening Pill or Class 4 Silver Tier equipment in advance! Once it drops, loyalists will obtain the treasure based on their rankings.”
Sssh—
Everyone gasped.
What the hell. Their lord was walking further and further down the path of the rich.
In the past, it was a Class 2 and 3 upgrade scrolls and equipment.
Now, he directly skipped and changed it to be able to apply in advance for Class 4 Upgrade Scrolls, Body Strengthening Pills, Class 4 Silver Tier equipment as long as you had 1,000 contribution points?!!
This treatment was comparable to that of the city guard armies from the 365 megacities of the underworld.
Note: The underworld is divided into 72 cities, 108 main cities, 240 major cities, and 365 megacities. (It’s not based on strength, but economy. Those with poorer economies did not mean that they were weak. Some of their citizens may be so strong that they can win fights against 10 other people)
“Our lord is invincible!!!”
“Our lord is generous!!”
Immediately, the soldiers below went crazy.
Even Tru, Luo Feng, Su Yu, and the others were the same.
1,000 contribution points only required them to kill 1,000 Level 1 zombies, or 100 Level 2 zombies, or 10 Level 3 zombies, or 1 Level 4 zombie!
It seemed like a lot, but for high-class soldiers, destroying three to four haunted houses was probably enough for them to reach that amount.
Before they came, the information was already recorded by the lord in the sandbox.
There were twelve haunted houses in the north. If they were all destroyed, as long as they worked hard enough, changing to a full set of Class 4 equipment should not be a problem.
Before there were any Class 5 in the territory, this pace of theirs was unstoppable!
Just the thought of it made their mouths feel dry.
“Hehe—”
“Roar—”
At this moment, the Haunted House on the other side seemed to be alerted by the cheers from the army.
The angry roars of a few Level 3 supervisor zombies came from the gloomy cave.
Immediately after, a wave of zombies charged out.
They formed groups and they looked like a sea of zombies.
As they dashed towards them, they let out excited screeches. They could not wait to devour these humans who did not know their place.
“Wow, this scene is truly spectacular!”
Lin Ye sat on the back of the Giant Earth Wolf. Heart’s Web and Hint were activated to their limit.
Whoosh—
Streaks of invisible ripples spread through the sea of zombies.
“Friendly Hint: You are under attack by a three-star Haunted House. Total number of zombies: 6,832”
“Friendly Hint: For detailed information, you need to level your talent to level 2!”
“Danger Evaluation: G!”
Note: Hardest: SSS (Death God’s Difficulty), Easiest: G (Easy Peasy).
“6,832 of them. That’s twice the numbers I have.”
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes as he used Heart’s Web to sweep across his soldiers.
Now that they all had high-level equipment, they were not afraid at all.
All of them stood on the spot with their sabers in hand. With just a command from him, they would transform into ruthless hunters and charge into the sea of zombies.
Looking at the zombie wave, they were almost within the rangers’ attack range.
Lin Ye raised his megaphone and shouted.
“Everyone, kill them all!!!”
