"World Item" Status: The Grey Dwarves' Panic (Happy New Year!)

As Tang Zheng thought about this, he suddenly realized...

Besides talent, the number of professions may also limit human capabilities.

However, even if there are enough professions, once the level reaches the limit of the race, there is still no way to continue to improve.

Those powerful individuals who hide in the shadows and transform themselves into the Undead Race are essentially breaking through the limits of their race.

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

He thought of a World Item in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, called [Greed and Selflessness], which has the ability to store and consume experience, replacing some skills and spells that require experience to activate.

This ability seems rather simple.

However, given its status as a "World Item," possessing this item, with sufficient Experience Points, might allow one to easily break through the race's level cap and reach level 100.

He shook his head.

This matter is too far away for him. Even if he were to obtain this World Item, the experience required would be a significant problem.

I came to my senses.

Looking at Yaluer's expectant face, Tang Zheng stood up, reached out and grabbed at the air, and Magic Greatsword appeared in his hand.

Yaluer's silver eyes widened in surprise; she had no idea how the greatsword had suddenly appeared.

Furthermore, the gray armor worn by the Hero earlier also seems to be able to be put away and released at will.

Is it an ability related to magical powers?

Yaluer thought to herself.

"Watch closely, this is a Martial Arts. Although it's a swordsmanship skill, you can use it as a reference and apply it to the ' Precise Control ' move you used earlier."

As Tang Zheng spoke, he swung his sword with one hand and slashed downwards.

Fourfold Slash of Light!

In an instant, four cold sword beams appeared simultaneously in the air.

Yaluer, who was watching from the side, felt a chill run through her body, as if she were facing an attack from four enemies.

"This..." Yaluer's breathing quickened, her silver pupils gleaming.

This is not a move similar to the skill "Precise Control" she uses, which rapidly enhances her own abilities; rather, it is a pure technique.

"Instant Reflection!"

After Tang Zheng unleashing his attack, a flash of blue light appeared on his body, and his posture instantly returned to its initial state, as if nothing had happened. He then swung his Magic Greatsword once more.

"Fourfold Slash of Light - Break Through!"

Four cold, icy lights flashed in the air once more, then instantly merged into one!

Yaluer felt her vision suddenly turn dark, as if all the light in her vision had been absorbed by a dazzling stream of light.

Boom!

A deafening roar as if the air was being torn apart exploded.

A surge of air!

Yaluer suddenly woke up, panting heavily, and took two steps back, her face showing a look of shock.

So strong!

How terrifying!

She had thought that the four attacks unleashed in that instant were already unstoppable, but she never expected that the Hero could launch an even more terrifying combo after finishing his attack.

"Did you see clearly? Ask me if you have any questions." Tang Zheng looked at Yaluer, who was covered in cold sweat, and spoke calmly.

The professional skills he possesses are not relevant to any specific profession, so even if Yaluer wanted to learn them, she wouldn't be able to master them. The only area he can teach her a little about Martial Arts.

On the other side!

An Oasis for the Grey Dwarf.

The deployment of a 5,000-strong elite Grey Dwarf legion is naturally a major event for the entire Grey Dwarf race.

The extermination of the human population, the capture of the second Oasis, and the restoration of the Glory of the Grey Dwarf are matters of great importance to every Grey Dwarf.

Not a single Grey Dwarf believed the war would be lost. Many Grey Dwarf in the tribe were betting that the war would end within days.

That's right!

This is a war we are destined to win; it's just a matter of wiping out all of humanity, which will take some time.

All the Grey Dwarf eagerly awaited the fine wine His Majesty the King would reward them with after the war's victory, and the anticipation of the second Oasis.

However!

The remaining Grey Dwarf soldiers from the elite legion fled back to the Oasis.

The death of the Commander-in-Chief and the annihilation of 5,000 elite troops caused a complete uproar among the entire Grey Dwarf race.

A sense of fear permeated the air above the entire Grey Dwarf race.

At this moment, even the king's attempts to appease the people were ineffective, and everyone was gripped by panic.

The heart of the Oasis, an area close to a living water source.

There was a huge opening, and the Grey Dwarf lived underground. Dwarf are a race that doesn't like sunlight, especially Grey Dwarf.

The closer to the water source area underground, the higher the status of the Grey Dwarf.

In a spacious stone chamber underground.

Three Grey Dwarf with completely white beards sat at a low table, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber was extremely oppressive.

What was thought to be a sure victory turned out to be such a devastating defeat, something no one had anticipated.

The three Grey Dwarf before us are the three highest-ranking members of the entire Grey Dwarf race.

One of them was the king of the Grey Dwarf, and the other two were the Minister of Blacksmithing and the Minister of General Affairs.

There was originally another director-general, but he is now dead.

The Grey Dwarf are different from the Dwarf of the Azerlisia Mountains. Although their Evileye by the Troll Kingdom, they fled to the Despair Valley.

However, the Royal Family bloodline of the Grey Dwarf has not been severed, and they still maintain monarchical rule.

"Anyone capable of destroying an elite legion of 5,000 must be a powerhouse in the Hero Realm! They must be a powerhouse in the Hero Realm!"

The Grey Dwarf king looked alarmed at the two ministers before him, whose expressions were equally grim.

"Didn't the human race lack ' Hero' -level experts? Where did this person come from?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"What should we do? Should we send people to the human community immediately? We can offer compensation!"

"No, no, how can the great Grey Dwarf bow down to the inferior Human Species?"

Seeing the panicked king.

The Minister of Steel and the Minister of Internal Affairs both looked helpless and somewhat flustered.

A powerful figure at the Hero Rank suddenly appeared from among the humans, disrupting all their plans.

Most importantly, it is completely impossible to determine why that powerful figure at the Hero Rank is helping humanity.

Could it be that legendary curse?

The Minister of Steel and the Minister of Internal Affairs suddenly exchanged a glance, and the same thought flashed through their minds at the same time, but they quickly dismissed it.

This is just a legend, and if it were the curse, it wouldn't be fulfilled until humanity is wiped out, not at this moment!

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to panic," the Minister of General Affairs said, suppressing his own panic and trying to keep his voice calm.

"What should we do now!" The Grey Dwarf King immediately looked at the Minister of General Affairs.

"First, we need to investigate whether that powerful figure in the ' Hero ' realm is human, or someone of another race who happened to be passing by and helped a human."

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications spoke while glancing at the Minister of Steel.

"You mean... This Old Woman understand. We are also short of food and other supplies, but we can spare a batch of weapons from the armory as compensation."

The Minister of Steelworks and the Minister of Internal Affairs exchanged a glance, and the Minister understood what the other was thinking. After a moment's thought, the Minister nodded.

"Alternatively, in the worst-case scenario, we can also make compromises and concessions by offering the condition of 'forging weapons specifically suitable for humans' as compensation."

The Minister of Internal Affairs stroked his thick, gray beard and nodded.

The humans had already obtained a batch of weapons from the annihilated Grey Dwarf Legion, so giving them some more wouldn't matter.

The human population will ultimately be much smaller.

The key is that they need to figure out the current attitude of humanity and the attitude of that mysterious, powerful Hero as soon as possible.

"Sending weapons? That won't do!"

Upon hearing the two ministers' proposed solution, the Grey Dwarf King immediately retorted loudly, "How can we compromise with that inferior race!"

"Your Highness, things are not like they were 50 years ago. We no longer have a powerful figure from the Hero Realm to oversee things," the Minister of General Affairs said softly.

It made the atmosphere in the room heavy.

Fifty years ago was the most glorious time for their Grey Dwarf Kingdom, which was followed by the invasion of the Troll Kingdom. All the Kingdom's powerful warriors died in that invasion war.

"We also need to prepare for the worst."

The Minister of General Affairs bowed slightly and continued respectfully, "Your Highness, we must also prepare for the worst. The contents of the treasury are for Your Highness's use only."

The next morning.

A fully armed squad of ten Grey Dwarf, pulling a cartload of weapons, set off from the Oasis toward the Oasis inhabited by humans.

On the human side...

After two days of basic training and familiarization.

Three thousand humans, armed with Grey Dwarf hammers and iron shields, gazed intently ahead.

Fully armed, Yaluer stood before the group of her people, instinctively gripping her silver Lancer.

This included almost everyone in the entire clan who was capable of fighting.

She didn't know how many people would survive the war that followed, but she knew, and everyone standing here knew too.

With the help of the Hero!

This is an opportunity they cannot afford to miss, one that will allow their descendants and all their people to live in peace and security for a long time to come.

"Too many of our people have died in the war against the Grey Dwarf!"

"Relatives, friends, ancestors, etc."

"Not long ago, I thought I was going to die. I thought our people were going to be completely wiped out in this Despair Valley."

"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

As Yaluer spoke, her eyes reddened. She looked at the group of her people ahead, whose eyes were also red, and raised the Silver-White Spear in her hand:

For all people!

"For all the people!" the three thousand tribesmen roared in unison.

They're a group of people who have already died; there's nothing to be afraid of!

Thump! Thump!

Two footsteps sounded from not far away.

Yaluer turned her head, quickly wiped her eyes, and then put on a bright smile again, looking in the direction from which the footsteps were coming.

It was my father and the Hero.

Tang Zheng walked calmly toward the crowd, with the Barghest, now transformed into a hawk, perched on his shoulder.

Feel the atmosphere in the air.

Tang Zheng glanced at the somewhat serious faces, but didn't say anything more.

"My Hero, hero..."

Chieftain Dielong bowed slightly, his scarred face showing a hint of nervousness as he cautiously looked at Tang Zheng, seemingly wanting to say something, but the words remained unspoken.

Tang Zheng glanced at Chief Dielong, then suddenly smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will bring everyone back."

After saying that.

Tang Zheng turned his head again and said calmly, "Let's go!"
