Ambush

On the lava slope behind Kurotsuchi Fortress.

Su Xiao blended in among the Empire's soldiers. The sense of crisis he had felt earlier had vanished. He chewed on compressed biscuits, occasionally taking a sip of water so he would not choke.

During wartime, he had no time to care whether the food tasted good. Filling his stomach quickly was what mattered.

After resting among the crowd for a while, Su Xiao's feeling of weakness faded. He had expended a massive amount of stamina in a short time, but fortunately, he had not overdrawn himself, so his stamina recovered quickly. After all, his Constitution attribute was right there.

The wounds on his body had been roughly treated. The deeper ones had been stitched, while the shallower wounds were left untreated for now and hastily wrapped with a special medical bandage.

After the special bandage was applied, a cool sensation spread from the wounds. This was the bandage's analgesic effect.

The Empire's army had gained the upper hand. By now, they had already charged over the top of Kurotsuchi Fortress and forced the tribal army back onto the stone slope below the fortress. If they could maintain their current advantage, the Empire's army would be able to drive back the tribal army before long.

While he waited for his stamina to recover, Su Xiao checked his current battle achievements.

Current battle achievements: 9,243 points.

Su Xiao was not surprised by the number. By his rough estimate, he had killed at least 3,000 enemies in this battle. Although he had only fought for two hours, he had charged up from the rear of the tribal army to Kurotsuchi Fortress, cutting down countless enemies along the way.

If they had been merely 3,000-odd ordinary soldiers, he naturally would not have earned this many battle
