Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 476: Champion Swordsman

After opening this Purple Card, Li Wei barely managed to gather all the dropped items and gave that God-Favored Item Card to Li Yue. Subsequently, his entire person directly fell into a deep sleep. Fortunately, he had now signed the Mercenary Contract with that Mountain Eagle Parker; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have dared to open this card. It was too treacherous.

He slept all the way until dusk, when Li Wei was awakened by the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

"It's the Legion from Mountain Eagle Parker's side. There are two thousand people in total. The heavy cavalry alone numbers five hundred. In addition, there are three hundred Archers, and the rest are all Heavy Armored Infantry."

Li Yue quickly told Li Wei, her words carrying quite a bit of relief. Early this morning, they truly could have managed to Perish Together with Mountain Eagle Parker's group, which was why they forced the other party to sign the Mercenary Contract. Otherwise, if the other party's Legion had already arrived by then, they wouldn't have shown them the slightest bit of politeness; they would have swallowed them up just like that.

Li Wei nodded. There was nothing that could be done about this matter. He felt disgusted and unlucky, and that Mountain Eagle Parker and his group on the opposite side were probably feeling depressed as well, having been manipulated by a mere Sycophant.

At this moment, Li Wei climbed onto the mountain ridge and saw that the opposite side had strong soldiers and sturdy horses, with an imposing aura like a rainbow. They were already pitching camp with great fanfare along the mountain range. A full several hundred Hunting Pets were circling and flying in the sky, among which there were at least three Druids.

In addition, the other party's Heavy Cavalry Commander should also be a powerful 4th-Tier Dawn Knight, riding a Five-Star Warhorse. The Legion Skill radiance enveloping his Spear was as dazzling as sunlight.

This was at least several streets stronger than Li Yue.

Tier 4 Legend, truly formidable.

However, this Mountain Eagle Parker was the Chief general under Duke Will. Having such a foundation was also normal. The man had lived for over six hundred years, what more do you expect?At this time, Li Wei also noticed that further away, there were Scouts and Rangers from both sides roaming and fighting in the open Wilderness. This commotion definitely couldn't be hidden!

"Where is Li Wei? The Commander of our army, Lord Parker, has an order: you are commanded to come and participate in the military council. Do not make any mistakes!"

A cavalryman galloped over to deliver the military order.

Good Heavens, letting me, a Mercenary, participate in the military council. Could it be a trap with executioners waiting for the signal of a dropped cup?

"Ouch, I ate something bad and have an upset stomach. Please convey to Marshal Parker that I cannot go." At this moment, Li Wei directly acted shamelessly. I don't care about my reputation anymore, just consider me a coward. Anyway, I just won't go alone.

The cavalryman delivering the order cast a disdainful look at him, said nothing, spurred his horse, and left.

It didn't matter.

In short, he couldn't give the other party an opportunity to easily fight and swallow him up at a very small cost.

"How is the situation on our side?"

Li Wei asked Li Yue in a low voice.

"Morale is very good, and stamina has also recovered. The Plate Armor of all the Soldiers has also been completely repaired. Especially with the intake of a large amount of high-quality food over the past period of time, all the Heavy Cavalry have achieved All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening. Their average Destiny Grid is 60+, and they are only a step away from condensing Combat Cards. But their cards are without exception all Common Cards. I'm a bit undecided; what do you think?"

It was normal for Li Yue to have such hesitation.

Condensing a Combat Card was not a simple matter. Not only did it consume a massive amount of Destiny Grid, but it also required a massive consumption of Gold Coins, as well as the investment of at least three Five-Star Class Cards.

Back then, Li Wei had invested so much and prepared thoroughly, yet in the end, he only managed to forge a Dawn Ranger Card. Even if these forty-two cavalrymen had achieved All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening, if forged hastily, at the very most they could only get a Dark Knight Card, the lowest tier one.

However, in the current situation, having one more hidden card meant having one more degree of certainty.

At this moment, Li Wei gritted his teeth and directly handed those fifty Purple Cards to Li Yue. "Open them all. These should drop at least 120 Five-Star Class Cards. Adding what we've stockpiled before, giving everyone five Five-Star Class Cards is no problem. As for the Barbarian Gold Coins, I still have 240,000 here. Distributing five thousand coins to each person is enough to forge Dark Moon Knights cards. In fact, even if we can only forge the lowest-tier Dark Knight Cards, it will increase their strength by at least a fifth."

"The next phase is a critical moment; we cannot show cowardice!"

"Alright!"

Li Yue nodded. Since things had come to this, overthinking was useless. Once a major battle broke out tomorrow, having a bit more strength to preserve one's life was always good.

However, this way, these forty-two cavalrymen truly gained a massive advantage. Previously, those fifty Five-Star Universal Gold Cards were basically all given to them. Now, even the majority of these fifty Purple Drop Cards could be distributed to them. This was equivalent to nearly half of the Spoils of War from the Battle of Dawn.

But there was no other way. Cultivating a powerful Legion, especially Heavy Cavalry, was truly too difficult.

And this wasn't even factoring in Five-Star Warhorses. That was the truly headache-inducing major project. Strengthening a Five-Star Warhorse wasn't something that could be done with just one Six-Star Universal Gold Card. The Warhorse and its master had to go through many major battles, possess unparalleled Tacit Understanding, and also require bonuses from various Magic scrolls.

For example, the God-Favored Item Card opened just now could, to a certain extent, increase the success rate of Hunting Pet Upgrades, Weapons Upgrades, and Gear Upgrades.

At this time, Li Yue went to take charge of this matter, while Li Wei called Zhao Xuanxuan and Thomas over.

"Xuanxuan, Thomas, your All Attributes have also completed Third-Tier Awakening, right."

"Yes, just exactly. Recently, we've eaten too much 3-Star Quality food. Counting our previous accumulation, I suddenly gained five Free Attribute Points, just enough to reach All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening. Thomas is the same. However, I am currently troubled; should I forge a Knight Card or a Warrior Class card?"

Zhao Xuanxuan was also a bit undecided.

"Of course, a Knight Card. This is your special Innate Talent; others couldn't even envy it if they tried. Besides, with that Hammer of yours, can you exert its full potential without a mount?"

Li Wei laughed. In the last Battle of Dawn, Zhao Xuanxuan, wielding her Great Iron Hammer, had hammered down five Ducal Guard Knights in one breath. Those were all All-Attribute Level 3 Awakened individuals with Knight Cards.

She belonged to the type suitable for melee cavalry.

The more chaotic the situation, and the more deadlocked the two sides were, the more she was Like a Fish in Water. Moreover, she specifically countered the enemy's infantry, truly deserving the title of the King of Can Openers. Li Wei felt that no Heavy Armored Infantry could withstand a strike from her hammer.

Blood Burning +13! It would be a pity not to utilize such an advantage.

And there was one more thing: Zhao Xuanxuan always followed behind Li Yue on The Battlefield. Looking like Li Yue's bodyguard, she was actually a master of dirty tricks hiding behind her. Relying on Li Yue to attract Aggro, she herself would Catch Unawares and strike down with a hammer. She was incredibly skilled at stealing kills.

"You two, see who will open this Purple Drop Card of the Fourth-Tier Warrior. This one also has the Blessing of the Gods. I don't want to open it for now, and I also lack the energy to do so." After saying that, Li Wei handed the Purple Card over, but it was immediately pushed back by Zhao Xuanxuan, who said with unparalleled straightforwardness: "Li Wei, don't lose your composure. A good meal is never too late, and good things don't need to be rushed. What are you anxious about? Since this thing has the Blessing of the Gods, it is absolutely inappropriate for Thomas and me to open it. It's better to save it for a suitable time. Don't worry, we are United As One, not afraid of those things. Boldness in Crisis, you have to have the courage to give it your all."

Li Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing this. You, a gambling addict, are actually lecturing me.

"Shut up, what are you Spouting Nonsense about? This is a Warrior Card, I, a Ranger, have no use for it. The opening conditions shouldn't be that harsh either. After opening it, whether it's you or Thomas, hurry up and forge a Combat Card; that is the proper business."

Hearing these words, Zhao Xuanxuan grinned and casually opened this Purple Card. However, seeing a flash of purple-gold light upon it, the Blessing of the Gods activated. It was unknown what kind of trial it was, but Zhao Xuanxuan immediately activated her Blood Burning hidden Innate Talent, and the blood aura around her body was incomparably dense. As a result, in barely three seconds, the blood aura vanished, and the card opening concluded.

Subsequently, Zhao Xuanxuan seemed as if all the lifeblood in her body had been drained. She directly slumped onto the ground, her face turning pale. She only said one word, "Holy shit," and then took out stamina Secret Medicine and poured it down madly.

It took her quite a while to recover.

Next, Zhao Xuanxuan shared the card opening rewards with Li Wei.

As expected, they didn't get the opponent's core Warrior Card, but they did get four Six-star Profession Cards, along with 580,000 Standard Gold Coins and 180,000 Barbarian Gold Coins, but no Ancient Magic Gold Coins.

In addition, there was a damaged set of Six-Star Champion Heavy Armor, a damaged Six-Star Champion Greatsword, and some Resource Cards, but no Troubled Times Pioneering Card, and absolutely no Origin Particles of any kind.

Of course, Zhao Xuanxuan's card opening process had a 100% trial completion rate, with no omissions.

Overall, the drop rate wasn't huge.

"Li Wei, this old boy actually won the title of Champion Swordsman in the All-Heavens Arena. I managed to snatch his Champion Swordsman Title during this card opening. This thing is quite interesting, take a look."

While speaking, Zhao Xuanxuan handed over a pile of things to Li Wei. Among them, an amethyst-like card was the Champion Swordsman Title she mentioned.

[Champion Swordsman Title: This is a special Title that can only be obtained in the All-Heavens Arena. It will definitely drop upon death and form a Champion Swordsman Legacy. Friendly tip: This Title can only be worn by the Warrior Class. After wearing, Life +300, Stamina +300, Strength +20, Agility +20, Defense +20, Spiritual Power +5, Sanity +1, Blood Burning +1, Delusion Breaking +1. Cannot be reinforced. Will definitely drop upon death.]

"Xuanxuan, aren't you going to keep this Champion Swordsman Title?"

"Why would I keep it? I use a Hammer and a Greatblade. Tell me, which part of me has the temperament of a Champion?"

Zhao Xuanxuan shook her head like a rattle-drum. This was prepared for infantry Warriors; it didn't match her temperament. Even Thomas—no, he could be directly ruled out—even Li Wei's temperament didn't match.

In a certain sense, there was no one in their Legion suitable for this Champion Swordsman Title.

Li Wei thought for a moment and kept this Champion Swordsman Title. There were quite a few good seedlings in his Royal Guard; he could leave it for them in the future.

Next, Li Wei took out the two Six-star Profession Cards he had obtained previously, added the four Six-star Profession Cards obtained this time, and did a Fifty-Fifty Split, handing them over to Zhao Xuanxuan and Thomas.

"These 180,000 Barbarian Gold Coins, ninety thousand for each of you. Plus the Iron and Blood Title you gained from the previous battle, fuse them all together and forge your own Combat Cards. The conditions might still not be good enough, but at this stage, all of us must find ways to increase our strength."
