Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 603 A tragic victory
Three lords, one died and two escaped, but the battle was not over.

Of the 20,000 enemy troops, only half are left, totaling more than 10,000 people.

There was no other way. In front of the group, the power of an individual was too small. Even though Xu Yang charged like this, and with Hua Mulan leading the remaining soldiers to shoot from behind, they only killed six or seven thousand people in such a short time.

There were still tens of thousands of troops fleeing here, trying to escape from this place through the "Lubai Teleportation Array" that had just been built.

Although this defeat prevention order was a way out, it also had many disadvantages, for example, it took a little longer to establish. Otherwise, Augustus and Zhao Wuji would not have had to use life-saving items, and Adams would not have died tragically.

But since they were already dead, there was no point in saying anything more. The remaining tens of thousands of defeated soldiers came to the teleportation array and looked at Xu Yang who was "standing alone against the enemy". Their morale, which had already fallen to the bottom, finally collapsed completely.

Seeing this, Xu Yang said nothing more, but raised his painted halberd and shouted like thunder: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Once these four words were spoken, it was the final blow. The psychological defense line collapsed instantly, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fell to their knees.

"The White Lotus Warrior has collapsed and is begging for surrender!"

"The Roman legion centurion collapsed and asked for surrender!"

"The elite shooter of the United States Federation has collapsed and requested to surrender!"

"Enemy hero Oaks requests surrender!"

"Enemy hero Hatzado requests surrender!"

"Enemy hero Gutner requests surrender!"

"..."

Special troops possessed better combat power and morale than regular troops, but no matter how high their murderous aura was, they could not withstand such destruction.

The intimidation of ghosts and gods and the unparalleled killing dealt a devastating blow to their morale. Coupled with the deaths of many heroes and the fleeing of three lords, even if they still had tens of thousands of troops, they could only kneel down and surrender.

When tens of thousands of people knelt, the victory was achieved. Tens of thousands of troops turned into white light and disappeared, leaving only prisoner cards and trophies on the ground.

Then came the reminder sound of the Tower of Babel...

"You have accomplished the achievement - the bravest of the three armies!"

"Your physical strength +15, physical strength +3, strong attack +3, martial arts +3, riding skills +3!"

"You have accomplished the achievement - invincible!"

"Your physical attributes +25, strength +5, strong attack +5, martial arts +5, riding +5!"

"Your use of polearms has reached Grandmaster level!"

"In a battle, you single-handedly turned the tide of the war and captured tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and many heroes. As a result, you realized "×&%￥#@§№☆..."

"You have mastered a special skill - the way of kingship!"

Way of the King: A hegemon dominates with strength, and a king respects his king with benevolence (your physical attribute will gain the effect of charm attribute, and each point of physical attribute will increase the upper limit of troops and morale by 20 points. In battle, there is a certain probability of shocking the enemy and making them surrender. After the battle, there is a certain probability of making the captured soldiers and heroes surrender directly. The attraction of your territory tavern to general-type heroes is greatly improved)
……

The prompt sound from the Tower of Babel came, but the first news was not the victory of the battle, but the achievement of two achievements and the acquisition of a skill.

Achievement is one of the mechanisms of the Tower of Babel. Lords can achieve various achievements and obtain various rewards. For example, his current "Bravest of the Three Armies" and "Invincible" give a lot of rewards for physical attributes and combat skills.

This is also an important way for the lord to enhance his own strength. Otherwise, with the five initial attributes and one free attribute per level, even if it is upgraded to the tenth stage or level 100, it is still not as good as the epic heroes with additional growth, not to mention those perverted legendary heroes and mythical heroes.

Of course, the reward for this achievement is proportional to the difficulty of obtaining it. For example, the current achievements of being the bravest among the three armies and being invincible require that in a battle of a certain scale, the number of personal kills exceeds that of all types of arms in the entire army. Only in this way can the achievement of being the bravest among the three armies be achieved, while being invincible requires one to fight against ten thousand.

The difficulty is high and the rewards are good, which is very friendly to "solo lords" like him. The two major achievements directly give him a 40% increase in physical strength and improvements in many combat skills, allowing him to further improve his combat power without advancing.

This is the achievement, let's look at the skills...

Familiar garbled characters appeared, and Xu Yang couldn't tell whether this skill was a reward from the Tower of Babel, or the effect of his own "plug-in", or both.

But no matter what, he acquired a new special skill - the way of kingship.

Needless to say, the effect of this skill, the physical attribute gains the effect of the charm attribute, directly increasing the upper limit of troop command and morale bonus, solving the biggest problem of him leading troops as a solo lord.

In addition, it can intimidate the enemy into surrendering during battle, and force captured heroes and soldiers to surrender directly after the battle.

This effect is incredible, because prisoners are an important source of military force for the lord, but recruiting prisoners is not a simple task. It requires extremely high charm attributes and eloquence, persuasion, prisoner management and other skills to convert prisoners into soldiers.

The way of kingly hegemony can directly recruit captives, saving Xu Yang the investment of charm attributes and charm skills. Its value can be imagined, and it will definitely make countless "solo lords" jealous.

Although Xu Yang's strength is already strong enough, he doesn't mind adding icing on the cake and becoming even stronger.

After achievements and skills, there are hints of victory in battle.

"You have defeated all enemies and achieved a glorious victory!"

"You get 850000 additional experience points and 18250 reputation points as a reward!"

"Obtained a special trophy - Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown!"

"Obtained a special trophy - Beast Face Swallowing Head Armor!"

"Obtained a special loot - Dragon Head Bow!"

"Obtain special loot - Dragon Bone Arrow (bag)"

"Obtain special loot - Heroic Contract (Epic)"

"You obtained the Battle Order (Rare) x50!"

"You get the Battle Order (General Attack) x1!"

"You have obtained the battle order (counterattack) x2!"

"You get the Battle Order (Legion) X1!"

"Mulan the Heroine Archer can be upgraded!"

"Mulan's female archers can be upgraded!"

"The Yellow Turban Infantry can be upgraded!"

"The Yellow Turban Spearmen can be upgraded!"

"..."

The battle records and blockbuster updates are dazzling.

Xu Yang did not take any further look, and urged Red Hare to rush towards the ruined city.

After a month of hard work and a huge amount of resources invested in building the outer city of the grassland, now only the dilapidated city walls on all four sides and various severely damaged buildings are left. It can be said that it is just a ruin.

But compared with the damage to the city’s buildings, the casualties were truly heartbreaking.

"Lord!"

Mulan led a group of remaining soldiers forward. Their armor was covered in blood, dirt, and many bullet holes and sword marks. Although no fatal injuries were caused, they also witnessed the cruelty of the previous battle.

Behind her were the remaining royal guards and the Yellow Turban Army. The former had been reduced from over 500 people to over 100, and the latter was even more miserable. There were only 800 Yellow Turban Army soldiers left out of more than 8,000. Although it was not yet the point where only one in ten survived, it was almost the same.

This is the price he paid and also the cruelty of the lord's conquest. The Tower of Babel and the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons are by no means a game between gods and demons, but a bloody struggle for life and death.

Xu Yang dismounted, walked forward, looked at Hua Mulan and the remaining soldiers of less than a thousand men, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of light, and the blood-stained remaining soldiers were instantly refreshed.

"Mulan Heroine Archer (Experienced) has been upgraded!"

"Mulan Heroine Archer Cavalry (Elite) upgraded!"

"Yellow Turban Infantry (Volunteer) upgrade completed!"

"Yellow Turban Spearmen (Elite) Upgrade Completed!"

……

Arms upgrade, fifth level!
Although most of the special forces have a fifth rank, having it is one thing and being able to upgrade it is another.

Although buildings such as barracks can train soldiers, they can basically only reach the third level. If you want to reach the special fourth level, you must undergo the baptism of war.

The fifth level cannot be achieved through ordinary baptism of fire. It requires a huge amount of experience and can only be achieved through a large number of battles and a long period of accumulation.

Xu Yang has only encountered one type of fifth-tier soldiers so far, and that is the Black Lotus Warriors of the Black Lotus Civilization. Under the transformation of the Black Lotus Warlocks, they became fifth-tier flesh and blood puppets. Their combat power is so terrifying that they forced him to use extreme means such as "Shenwu".

But this is an evil method, and the flesh and blood puppets created are most likely disposable.

It was different on Xu Yang's side, because the casualties were too heavy, the nearly one thousand surviving soldiers absorbed a huge amount of experience, so they were properly promoted to the fifth level, the Baizhan of Mulan's personal guards and the strongmen of the Yellow Turban infantry.

After being promoted to the fifth rank, the attributes, skills, and equipment of the two types of soldiers have been greatly improved or even qualitatively changed, and they have obtained a second special skill, the battle-hardened warriors of Mulan's personal guards and the strongmen of the Yellow Turban infantry.

The former can effectively increase the attack damage and combat endurance of Mulan's guards. When suffering fatal damage, there is a chance of feigning death to save life, which greatly enhances the survivability of Mulan's guards.

The latter can enhance the physical attributes and reduce damage of the Yellow Turban infantry, and play the role of one against a hundred in the Yellow Turban special skills, which are both extremely outstanding military special skills.

Of the eight thousand troops, only eight hundred survived. After the baptism of war, they are the essence.

Looking at the upgraded and brand new Mulan Guards and Yellow Turban Army, Xu Yang said nothing, waved his hand and asked them to go and clean up the battlefield.

"Ayang!"

As the Mulan Army and the Yellow Turban Army left, a group of people came forward. They were Zhang Yan, Feng Cheng and their defeated troops.

In this battle, Xu Yang suffered heavy losses, and their reinforcements were also not spared. Of the more than 200 Song Dynasty soldiers and 50 Beiwei soldiers brought by Zhang Yan, only more than ten are left following her and Yue Yun.

Zhang Yan was in such a state, and Feng Cheng was even more miserable. Only five or six people were left, and they were all soldiers. The rare hero who was recruited with great difficulty had died on the battlefield.

"Thanks for the help!"

Seeing the miserable appearance of the two men, Xu Yang went straight to the whole situation: "I will compensate you for your losses, and the mercenaries will not be less in remuneration."

"Hey, we're all so familiar with each other, and you're still saying something so unfamiliar!"

Although a hero died, Feng Cheng did not show any sadness. Instead, he was free and easy and very generous.

"This battle is really difficult!"

Zhang Yan sighed, also with mixed feelings, but these feelings soon turned into horror.

"No, it's my territory!"

Zhang Yan woke up and looked at Xu Yang: "I need to go back and take a look first."

Xu Yang nodded, and turned his gaze to Feng Cheng: "You should go too, there is still hope."

As mentioned before, the Tower of Babel does not provide any protection for lords and territories that go out to fight. If the territory does not have enough forces left behind, it will be easy for others to take advantage of the situation and break in.

The same goes for the conquest and the support. Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng came to help him and were trapped here for more than three months. During these three months, their territory was likely to be attacked or even occupied.

and so……

The two hurried away, and a moment later hurried back again, both with bitter expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Xu Yang was not surprised: "How is it?"

"The war orders have been exhausted, and the territory has been occupied for seventeen days."

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, then said in a deep voice: "You have to help me fight back!"

"me too!"

Feng Cheng also hurriedly spoke up after hearing this: "That damned Lord of the Demon Abyss stole my house while I was away. Ah Yang, you have to help me get back at him."

"It's natural."

Xu Yang nodded, not surprised by this.

Both of them were new lords, and it was natural for their territories to be occupied after they left for three months.

But it doesn't matter, the territory can be recaptured if it is captured. Unless you kill the enemy lord during the capture process, you must wait for one month + the number of war orders to resist the counterattack of the enemy lord, and then you can capture the enemy territory for yourself and obtain the territory treasure chest.

He had killed the lord last time, so he didn't need to waste time and could directly obtain the territory treasure chest.

But Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng were not so unlucky, so Xu Yang could definitely help them fight back.

But before that...

"Take a look at the spoils first and calm yourself down!"

Xu Yang smiled and opened the warehouse of trophies that Hua Mulan had prepared for the two of them.

　I was supposed to update it at midnight, but there was a power outage, so I'm sorry.
