Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 426: Chaotic Battle

"Pa pa pa!"

"Xiu~ Boom!"

Javelins and Crossbow Bolts shot over from all directions, but fundamentally hit nothing but loneliness.

Yes, the current Five-Star Professionals were at the very least comprehensively developed in both ranged and melee combat. Who wasn't a sharpshooter who never missed? Who didn't carry a few armor-piercing Javelins and Throwing Spears?

But first of all, they had to have the corresponding Profession Card in order to obtain enough damage bonuses.

You're a Butcher who wants to farm? Do you think the furrows are full of little piggies?!

Secondly, even if they had the Profession Card, was their Destiny Grid sufficiently high?

Thirdly, did they have the corresponding Codename and Title?

Fourthly, could all their Profession Cards synergize, or at least have three Profession Cards that synergize? Did they have that?

It was impossible.In the past, Li Wei had also thought that an individual could be omnipotent.

But as the levels of his Profession Cards grew higher, he increasingly realized that the positioning of different professions truly possessed A World of Difference.

He currently belonged to the category of having his buffs maxed out: three Rare Profession Cards synergizing, his Natal Farmer Card acting as a safety net, his Codename and Title perfectly positioned, fully equipped with gear, and an open supply of Magic Secret Potions. It was simply the ultimate all-in-one package of Propitious Circumstances!

What are you going to use to fight me?

At this very moment, Li Wei directly drank down a portion of Three-Star Spirit Potion and a portion of Three-Star Stamina Secret Medicine. With a flick of his wrist, he threw out another three Five-Star Enchanted Javelins. He first broke the shield of the third Neanderthal elite attempting to charge up, then broke his magic defense, and finally killed him with a spear to the head!

Up to this point, he had already achieved a hexa-kill!

His Stamina value and Spiritual Power had both been consumed by two bars.

The Neanderthals, however, were already terrified. Although it wasn't to the point of fleeing in defeat, they could only cower in the blind spots of the fortress, no longer daring to show their heads.

At this exact moment, Li Wei turned around and picked up the Five-Star Level Universal Gold Card and Purple Card dropped by that Archer, directly using them to enhance his Ranger Code by half a level. Following that, he picked up the remaining two Gold Cards and Purple Cards dropped by the Neanderthal elites and used them to enhance his Codename.

It was just a pity that the Gold Cards and Purple Cards dropped by the Spellcaster and that Neanderthal elite killed inside the fortress had already been picked up long ago.

These were Gold Cards and Purple Cards belonging to their own people. They would immediately be recovered, thereby reducing the losses of those Fallen in Battle.

At this time, Li Wei leaped down without hesitation.

"%……&!"

This time, he had no way to conceal his figure. A Neanderthal shouted loudly, and the remaining nineteen Neanderthal elites all dashed out with angry roars, wishing they could chop Li Wei into meat paste!

It would have been one thing if you were suppressing us from a range of several hundred meters outside the fortress; we indeed wouldn't dare to show our heads.

It would have been one thing if you were Commanding Presence from above on the fortress platform, guarding the only Passage; we indeed couldn't attack up there temporarily.

But now you've come down! If we still didn't dare to rise up and gang up on you, wouldn't we just become cowardly wimps?

At this kind of distance where everyone was less than ten meters apart from each other, it was precisely their home turf!

But Li Wei wasn't here to endure a gang-beating. The instant he landed on the ground, his Five-Star Warhorse was summoned out. The majesty and flair of this Warhorse was a full head taller than a Four-Star Warhorse. That kind of explosive power, that kind of speed and intelligence, was also comparable to Adai's.

Li Wei merely tapped the horse's belly lightly. This Warhorse neighed, and after galloping for a dozen meters, it directly "flew" up. With a leap from the ground, jumping three or four meters high, it was even able to kick a Neanderthal elite flying dozens of meters away with a single hoof.

Even Li Wei himself was left with only one feeling, and that was "fast." It was too f*cking fast! Primarily, its acceleration was fast—0 to 100 in about four or five seconds kind of fast.

Inside such a not-very-spacious fortress, this was truly too fast.

To the point that when Li Wei rapidly switched to his Enchanted Lance to attack a Neanderthal elite, he missed and struck empty air.

As for that group of Neanderthals, they were even more dumbfounded. A Five-Star Warhorse?! This is f*cking...!

For a time, they all yelled out individually. Some summoned their Warhorses, wanting to engage Li Wei in a Fight to the Death. Some hid behind buildings, preparing to launch a sneak attack. And there were others preparing to charge to a high place to continue controlling the Enchanted Giant Ballista.

Previously, there had been Neanderthal elites who wanted to do this, but in the face of Li Wei's ghost-like speed, the operation of the Enchanted Giant Ballista was too complicated and slow, so they had obediently given up. Now that Li Wei was one with his horse, making him a larger target, perhaps it was feasible?

But right at this time, Li Wei, who was about to charge to the fortress City Wall, suddenly turned his horse's head smoothly. Primarily, the control and flexibility of this Warhorse were too heaven-defying and too stunning; Li Wei felt as though his riding skills were somewhat unable to match it.

Originally, he had wanted to take advantage of this instant of turning around to switch to his Enchanted War Bow and shoot one person dead, but now he could only drop the idea. Fortunately, it wasn't a problem at all. Because after the smooth turn, this Five-Star Warhorse actually seemed capable of connecting with his mind. Without needing deliberate control at all, it could share his Perception, control the entire field, and automatically lock onto the optimal attack target.

"Rumble!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder, resembling the scream of a fighter jet. It was too fast!

Like a hurricane.

In the blink of an eye, it charged over dozens of meters. This time, Li Wei had finally grasped the rhythm well. Those Neanderthal elites consecutively dodged out of the way or fired with Javelins and Throwing Spears, but Li Wei and the Warhorse remained completely indifferent.

Because the Warhorse had Four-Star horse armor, and Sequence 3 Magic Crests inlaid on it. It was the same for Li Wei.

Ordinary Javelins and Crossbow Bolts shot onto their bodies would just be bounced away by the magic halos.

"Ahhh!"

A Neanderthal elite wielding a Great-Axe roared furiously. A heavy, foot-high blood mist ignited around his entire body as he chopped his axe toward Li Wei's Warhorse.

This looked to be at least Blood Burning +7.

If it truly hit, it might be able to break open the Sequence 3 Magic Crest. However, he was still too slow. He didn't quite understand what a Five-Star Level Warhorse meant.

In this instant, Li Wei perceived that the Warhorse was naturally accelerating. What did 0 to 100 in under five seconds count as? At this moment, it was estimated to have reached at least 3.5 seconds.

It even looked like it was about to break through the 3-second mark.

Before that Neanderthal elite's Great-Axe could even fall, the Warhorse had already whizzed past. Li Wei didn't even need to deliberately apply force to thrust the Enchanted Lance in his hands; he merely needed to adjust the direction and angle well, then grip it tightly. With a single thrust, he popped the heavy armor on that Neanderthal elite's neck, forcefully tearing his entire thick neck apart. A huge head rolled across the ground like a fully ripe watermelon.

This impact force was truly too strong.

Li Wei's right hand was a bit numb and sore; he almost couldn't maintain his grip on this Five-Star Enchanted Lance. His Strength was still his weak point.

"I should Quit While Ahead."

As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Wei nevertheless swung the spear in his hands out again, swatting away a Neanderthal elite who had charged up. At the same time, the speed of the Warhorse beneath him slightly decreased. It decelerated again, made a nimble interweaving maneuver, a leap, and with a single hoof kicked the head off a Neanderthal elite who was fiercely thrusting a spear over.

However, the Sequence 3 Magic Crest on the horse armor was fundamentally about to be exhausted. If this continued, the Warhorse was going to be injured.

And the remaining Neanderthal elites finally reacted. One by one, looking like fierce and malicious deities, they charged over desperately. There were even three Neanderthals who mounted their horses, attempting to use this method to encircle, pursue, and intercept, shrinking Li Wei's movement space.

"What a pity!"

Li Wei wasn't very satisfied with his cavalry combat performance. If it were Li Yue here at this moment, coordinating with a Five-Star Warhorse, she would have secured at least five kills by now, right?

Fortunately, he naturally had his own rhythm.

At this moment, after snatching two Gold Cards and two Purple Cards, and successfully mobilizing all the Neanderthal elites, Li Wei suddenly put away his Five-Star Warhorse. He flipped and landed on the ground. The next second, he dashed into the fortress building. With merely three leaps, he disappeared into a certain corner.

He was gone.

Right!

His aura was retracted, and no one could catch up to him or see him—wasn't that just disappearing?

But in reality, he rapidly drew his bow at this time. With a single arrow, he destroyed that Enchanted Giant Ballista that had already completed its enchanting charge and had a giant Crossbow Bolt ready to fire at any moment.

This thing was too dangerous.

However, this arrow also simultaneously exposed Li Wei's position. Those remaining Neanderthals charged furiously into the fortress building. They had made up their minds to block Li Wei in; even if they had to pile up human lives, they had to push him to his death.

But this truly was a foolish action.

Li Wei dashed directly toward the fortress roof-terrace, then leaped down from another direction like a nimble ape again. He directly intercepted an isolated Neanderthal cavalryman. He first chopped off his horse's legs with a sword, but this Neanderthal was also quite capable; he instantly sprang up. The spear in his hands pierced over like starlight, carrying a sharp edge straight for Li Wei's face. It was at least +6 Delusion Breaking, a Delusion Breaking specially meant to counter Perception!

But Li Wei's 9.5 Perception was sufficient to suppress it.

"Clang!"

His Enchanted Heavy Sword calmly parried it, but both of his wrists felt somewhat numb. His Strength was somewhat suppressed by the other party. Therefore, Li Wei had absolutely no desire to prolong the fight. Once the parry was completed, he turned and ran. His 84 points of Agility were enough to throw the other party a huge distance behind in the blink of an eye. Following that, he summoned his Five-Star Warhorse again. This time, it frightened that Neanderthal into turning around and ducking into the fortress building. No one dared to come out anymore.

They intended to defend the fortress to the death.

However, Li Wei no longer hesitated. He turned his horse's head and galloped out of the fortress. He picked up the outermost dropped Gold Card and Purple Card, completed the fourth enhancement for his Ranger Code, and madly dashed away along the road.

As for those previous two Gold Cards, they were exchanged by him for two Silver Tokens.

Galloping for over thirty li in a single breath, Li Wei stowed his Warhorse and replenished his Stamina and Spiritual Power. He also splashed a portion of Three-Star Magic Secret Potion, used for clearing bloodstains and the scent of blood, onto his body. His entire person was thoroughly refreshed, even carrying the fragrance of vegetation.

Perfect.

Then he left the main road, entered the depths of the Mountain Forest, and began a rapid transfer. He didn't rest from morning to night. Eventually, when the sun was setting in the west, he smoothly arrived near Gale Fortress.

At this time, it was only the third day since he accepted the mission. No one could know his actions over these past two days: fighting and raiding over six thousand li, killing eight Neanderthal elites, and obtaining six Purple Drop Cards. Placed on the frontal battlefield, these battle results weren't worth mentioning. However, this kind of behavior would absolutely sting the Neanderthals' Commander; they also needed to guarantee their Logistics, alright?

Especially since this was a massive provocation to the Scouts on the Neanderthal side.

The Neanderthals would absolutely withdraw a portion of their Scouts to go back and investigate this matter, to fish out this mysterious Scout. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to have any peace.

Yet at this time, Li Wei was "completely ignorant" of this. All six Purple Drop Cards had been placed into his Resource Card. He wouldn't open them; otherwise, when it came time for Task Settlement, taxes would need to be paid on all of them.

Ultimately, he lingered outside Gale Fortress for almost an entire night. Only on the morning of the fourth day did he, in his capacity as a Mercenary, request an audience with that Gale Grand Knight Teren, asking for assistance and guidance.

Because he hadn't found that Neanderthal Scout squad nearby over these past few days, he now had a good idea—such as luring the enemy in deep or something.

However, he didn't meet that Grand Knight, but rather another Gale Knight temporarily managing things. The other party was in a very good mood, which in turn made his attitude towards Li Wei much friendlier, quite giving the appearance of sharing happiness.

"Grand Knight Teren is not in the fortress. Are you the Scout who came to support this time? Yesterday, Grand Knight Teren even mentioned that you failed to report in on time. But it's no longer necessary; that Neanderthal Scout squad should have already withdrawn."

"Right now, Grand Knight Teren went to Windbreath City last night. Today, he is personally escorting a batch of supplies back. Just remain on standby in Gale Fortress for now."

"Could I trouble you to tell me why that Neanderthal Scout squad withdrew? Could there be a trick in this matter? We must be careful of these damn Neanderthal bugs; their cunning is known to everyone."

Li Wei offered friendly advice. Anything was possible; they couldn't be too optimistic.

"Rest assured, this news is guaranteed true! It's said that the Royal Capital side finally dispatched their top-tier Rangers..."
