The Function of Mark Fragments

"All units!"

"Fire at will!"

Then, the 10 Mercenary Crossbowmen acting as captains loudly repeated Shen Mu's command.

"Understood!"

This was the response of the 20 Mercenary Sentinels.

And when the final echoes of everyone's voices faded, it was as if they were of one mind.

They all pulled the triggers of their weapons!

Swish swish swish swish!

Instantly, arrows rained down, carried by the gentle breeze from the Suno Plain.

They all landed directly on the heads and faces of the Pigmen!

Splattering blood everywhere!

It also caused another round of even more tragic howls to erupt from the front-row Pigmen who were already being stabbed to death on the spot in front of the Pike Square.

Filling the entire Central Corridor with the wails of these Pigmen.

The smell of blood grew thicker.

Moreover, while those Pigmen were stuck in front of the Pike Square, which was like a reef, unable to advance or retreat.

The Lake Rats members, who had already retreated behind the Swadian Footmen and were still eager to fight.

At this moment, they began to reorganize themselves.

Behind them.

They still had most of their throwing javelins, 10 from the Lake Rats Veteran Thugs and 8 from the Lake Rats Recruits.

In the previous battle, they had only thrown two or three rounds.

Now, seeing the Swadian Footmen firmly blocking the attack of those Pigman monsters, and with the shooting from the Mercenary Crossbowmen and Sentinels overhead.

These Lake Rats members, who were already skilled in throwing, could no longer hold back.

Then, aiming at the more than one meter of space left between the 3-meter-high ceiling and the Swadian Footmen's Pike Square, and calculating the throwing angle, they began throwing again, following the example of the Lake Rats Veteran Thugs!

Swish swish swish!

Seven or eight Fishing Darts turned into black shadows, cutting graceful arcs in the one-meter space below the ceiling and above the heads of the Swadian Footmen.

Then, heavily, they landed on the heads of the Pigmen who were already crowded and struggling to move forward or backward.

And specifically, on the heads of the Pigmen in the very front row of this area.

This directly caused those who hadn't reacted at all to be hit by Harpoons and Fishing Darts again. Whether it was their faces or their chests or abdomens covered in Leather Armor, they were pierced by the sharp spearheads. The killing power of these throwing weapons, which were even stronger than bows and crossbows, was enough to kill with a single blow!

Even if they weren't killed instantly, they were severely wounded on the spot, their wails growing weaker and weaker until they finally knelt on the ground!

Swish swish swish swish swish!

Coupled with another round of Crossbow Bolts raining down, hitting the heads of that group of Pigmen with a pitter-patter.

In less than a few minutes.

More than half of the Pigmen who had been charging the fastest and most excitedly at the very front had actually fallen!

"Only 5 minutes."

Shen Mu murmured softly.

Behind him, the cool breeze that had been blowing had disappeared.

This meant that the 5 minutes during which the breeze, which could increase morale every 30 minutes, was effective had passed.

But Shen Mu's expression on the Balcony remained unchanged.

He still looked at the Pigmen who were once again crowding over from the stairs, this time more cautious, with a more determined attitude, and a more ferocious appearance, as well as the other Wasteland Races howling behind them.

Shen Mu turned his head and glanced at the Ballista that was still there, not used directly, intending to catch the enemy off guard.

Because he was looking down from a height.

He saw the guy who was clearly a Human, howling angrily in the Corridor because he had noticed the failure of the front-line battle.

Those thugs from the Diesel Company who were attacking him!

Furthermore, he seemed to have taken something out of his arms, something that shimmered with a strange faint light, like a fragment, which could be detected from dozens of meters away. He shoved it into his mouth, then turned his head and glared at him fiercely, with eyes like those of someone whose father had been murdered.

And the huge roar that came from his throat, as if suppressing extreme pain:

"I will!"

"Kill you!"

Then, this Diesel Company Thug's entire body began to swell, and black hairs grew out one by one, and even his face underwent drastic changes!

In just over ten seconds, he actually grew a pig's nose and pig's ears that hung down beside his head.

As well as scarlet, bloodshot pig eyes.

"This is..." Shen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw this scene from the balcony.

That Human Race person from Blue Star ate something unknown and instantly turned into...

A Pigman?!

"Oink—!!!"

Then, this Blue Star Human Race person who had turned into a Pigman really let out a howl like a wild boar.

His entire body instantly swelled to over 2 meters tall, and he was extremely obese.

Compared to ordinary Pigmen.

Now, this Blue Star Human Race person who had transformed into a Pigman looked even more like a true Pigman!

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Seeing this, the surrounding Pigmen all started howling madly.

Especially when they saw the Pigman who was already taller and stronger than themselves, their eyes flashed with awe, as if subordinates seeing their boss, slaves seeing their master, or lower beings seeing a higher being!

Now, Wu Hu had eaten the crystal core fragments of the Spiritual Realm Mark, allowing the rules of the Spiritual Realm to descend upon him.

He had completely achieved deep resonance and synchronization with the soul bound to the Pigman.

"And then I gained the power of a Pigman Elite Leader!"

Wu Hu's eyes glowed with a special red light.

But on his face, which had turned into a pig's head, as foul-smelling saliva dripped down, the look of gradually becoming ferocious due to gaining power became even more mixed with smugness and a sinister grin.

Especially when Wu Hu slowly lowered his head and looked at his own hands, which had also turned into a mix of pig hooves and human hands, looking fat and clumsy.

The abundant power from his entire body, as well as the special Supernatural Talent possessed by Pigman Elite Leaders among the Orc Race, which had also been strengthened by the Spiritual Realm Mark, made Wu Hu unable to help but let out a cheer that sounded like a pig's squeal: "Oink oink! This is the power!"

"Captain Wu Hu?" Behind him, the faces of the two outsourced team captains and vice-captains changed slightly at this moment.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Captain Wu Hu to use the method of devouring Spiritual Realm Mark fragments right away.

Generally speaking, this was one of the trump cards only used on the main battlefield.

It was impossible to use it specifically for ordinary battles.

Moreover, every time it was used.

Although it would increase the synchronization ability with Supernatural Creatures and enhance one's combat power, which was a good thing.

However, due to the preciousness of the Spiritual Realm Mark fragments, a serious report had to be written to the Diesel Company to explain why this power was used!

Even the two outsourced team captains, each having a Mark Fragment.

But they didn't dare to use them casually!

"Now, I need you to use them!"

But Wu Hu's eyes were red at this moment, letting the saliva from the side of his pig mouth drip onto the leather armor on his abdomen as he spoke, looking dirty and foul-smelling.

At the same time, Wu Hu also roared in a low voice to the surrounding official employees:

"Including you! We need to take down this Human Race Lord in the shortest possible time! Kill him! Seize his Lord's Crystal Core! Otherwise, by nightfall! We can only retreat! At that time! If the Chairman blames us! No one can escape!"

Hearing Wu Hu's words.

These official employees, as well as the two outsourced team captains, immediately took out their Spiritual Realm Fragments without hesitation and swallowed them.

Then, accompanied by painful groans, they transformed into the follower races they primarily possessed. Due to the soul binding, they had already developed the racial characteristic of Spiritual Realm Creature resonance, gradually becoming non-human!

"This is why I want to become a captain, why I want to become an official employee!"

At this moment, Zhang Caidong's eyes were full of jealousy.

And within those two outsourced teams, among the outsourced contract workers, there were also nearly 20 people who, as experienced outsourced employees, had gained some trust from the Diesel Company. So, they also took out the distributed Spiritual Realm Fragments from their pockets and swallowed them.

They also began soul synchronization and started transforming into those Gnolls, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Greenskin Orcs, and other savage Spiritual Realm Creatures.

This caused their respective Spiritual Realm Creature followers to let out excited howls!

"Oink oink!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Hu's entire pig face also showed a satisfied and brutal expression.

He raised the Flail Hammer in his hand, pointed at everyone in these two outsourced teams, as well as their Spiritual Realm Creature followers, and grinned sinisterly with a grunt:

"The battle is currently unfavorable, you will begin the assault! As long as you can break through that Human Race's defense line! I will personally report to the General Manager and request merit for you!"

"Understood." The captains or members of these outsourced teams, who had transformed into various Spiritual Realm Creatures, responded one after another.

Even if there was dissatisfaction in their eyes, they didn't dare to show it.

Temporary workers were responsible for the assault.

They were responsible for consumption.

They were responsible for being cannon fodder!

They all understood that this was an unchangeable fact and a tactic frequently used by the Diesel Company.

"Kill!"

So, under the charge of the captains of these outsourced teams and their members,

Behind them, their Spiritual Realm Creature followers also howled, raising their weapons high, and began to charge forward.

"Clear a path!"

Amidst Wu Hu's furious roar,

The Pigmen, who were originally chaotic and crowded, seemed to be terrified and cleared a passage in a short time.

Allowing the Spiritual Realm Creatures of these outsourced teams to rush to the front row.

They began to charge towards the troublesome Human Race Lord's Pike Square!

But on the Balcony, Shen Mu's expression changed slightly.

Because just as all the guys from the Diesel Company ate that strange thing that flickered with faint light, a dialogue box actually appeared before his eyes.
