Raiding the Camp and Slaying the General

Bai Xiaowen commanded the Rageclaw and Skeleton Champion to step forward and withstand the assault of the Hittites Elite Tier legion. He first cast an Insight on the fat, Han Empire.

[Heint (Level 7 Boss Tier)]

[Race: Human Species / Human Race]

[Class: Shield Armor Warrior Commander]

[Attributes: Strength 45, Agility 23, Constitution 52, Spirit 19]

[Skill 1: Shield Reflection: Raise your shield, reflecting the next targeted single-target spell for 10 seconds. If you are not attacked by a spell during this time, your next physical attack (including physical spells) is enhanced.]

[Skill 2: Vengeful Swing: Slash at the target in front, launching a vengeful attack that deals moderate damage to the primary target and minor damage to other enemies in melee range in front. This attack will receive a damage bonus equal to the percentage of your missing Life Value.]

[Skill 3: Savage Charge: Omitted.]

[Skill 4:???]

[Skill 5: Helabu's Courage LV1: Omitted.]

Just by looking at the magnificent iron armor covering this burly giant Heint, one can tell that his physical armor is extremely high, and that bleeding attacks are unlikely to be effective.

The only good news is that his general Advanced Boss skill is only LV1, adding 300 health points, bringing his total Life Value to 820, which is below 1000. For Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, who are currently level 6, he's not particularly difficult to kill!

"It's just one level higher... This is the time to test the team's fighting strength!"

Bai Xiaowen muttered a sentence to himself, then said in the Team Channel: "Activate the Void Ring... Clear out the Elite Tier first, then kill the BOSS!"

Li Shuyi agreed, and a faint light flashed from the ring on her right hand, making her appear ethereal. Her figure glided into the crowd like a serpent, heading straight for the first Elite Tier Hittites officer.

The attacks from all around, whether slashing with knives and axes or thrusting with spears, seemed to pass right through the air when they landed on Li Shuyi, having no effect whatsoever!

"Witchcraft! Witchcraft!" Many Hittites slave soldiers cried out in panic upon seeing this incomprehensible scene.

However, the Elite Tier Hittites officers were different. Although they had never seen such a strange situation where swords and spears could not harm them, they did not panic. They shouted orders to the slaves to reorganize their formation, form a defensive line, and use their flesh and blood to block Li Shuyi.

Li Shuyi's feet flashed again, the Phase Walking effect of the Traveler's Boots activated, her movement speed increased by 25%, and more importantly, she ignored unit collision volume! She truly Incarnation into a shadow, sweeping past the flesh and blood defense line composed of slaves and soldiers, and rushed to the first Hittites Elite Tier officer.

The Demonfire Dance was unleashed, the twin swords clashed amidst flames, and blood gushed forth!

The instant Li Shuyi rushed forward, a bolt of lightning and a gunshot rang out simultaneously. Bai Xiaowen and the Bone Warlock provided ranged fire support from behind. The three attacks were unusually synchronized, but the damage inflicted by Bai Xiaowen was the first to erupt, mainly due to the First Blood effect of the Blood Essence Stone.

The Hittites Elite Tier officer watched in vain as his scimitar struck thin air. At that moment, Li Shuyi's follow-up attack arrived, Triple Slash that brought forth crimson blood.

In just about three seconds, the Elite Tier Hittites officer fell backward.

Taking advantage of the Phase Walking effect of her shoes, Li Shuyi whirled through a wall of Hittites soldiers and crashed into the second Hittites Elite Tier officer.

"Ghost! She's Ghost!"

After numerous failed attempts to attack Li Shuyi, the Hittites soldiers cried out and retreated.

At this point, the six-second Intangibility effect of the Void Ring had disappeared.

The Hittite general, the stout, armored giant Hyent, roared, "Foolish slaves! Keep attacking! Whether she's a witch or a devil, even if it costs you your lowly lives, overwhelm her!"

Seeing Li Shuyi's imperviousness to swords and blades, Heint was actually a little uneasy. As a warrior who relied solely on physical attacks, he was naturally afraid of someone who couldn't be hit.

"Hmph... Stop showing off."

Bai Xiaowen pointed his finger, and the Vengeful Spirit aimed at Heint, suddenly opening its claws. A thin line of Divine Might extended out, activating the Venomous Resentment skill.

Heint felt a jolt; the sensation of his Divine Might being rapidly drained was quite unpleasant. However, his intelligence was undoubtedly far superior to that of King Akanna in the trial instance. He immediately locked onto the master of the Vengeful Spirit — Bai Xiaowen —and launched a Savage Charge!

Although it is a physical type BOSS, Heint's strength is as high as 45 points. As it charged forward, it was like an indestructible tank. Some slave soldiers who could not dodge in time were directly knocked away and spat out blood.

This ferocious momentum came to an abrupt halt after colliding with the greatsword-wielding skeleton— the Skeleton Champion unleashed Whirlwind Slash, directly clashing with it. As the two powerful creatures clashed, the Skeleton Champion staggered backward, but Heint also came to a stop.

The Rageclaw and the Skeleton Champion entangled the level 7 Boss Tier, Heint. Bai Xiaowen commanded the other summoned creatures to speed up the kill of the Hittites Elite Tier officer, together with Li Shuyi.

The team's health is indeed under considerable pressure. Heint is only a physical type BOSS, and his Divine Might has been drained by the Vengeful Spirit, causing his threat level to drop sharply. However, it's important to remember that we are currently in the Hittites camp! For every Hittites soldier killed, two more will take their place. Although Bai Xiaowen's side has strong individual strength, they cannot hold out for long due to the cumulative effect.

"It seems that investing some money is still necessary."

Bai Xiaowen muttered something to himself, took out the Silver Tier item Bloodspear Horn from his Storage Space, and immediately chose to use it!

As the horns sounded, a group of the Bloodspear Clan ancestors appeared, brandishing their spears and charging into the Hittites ranks, relieving the pressure on Bai Xiaowen's side. However, with the sound of the horns, this excellent Silver Tier artifact also used up its last use and shattered.

The Hittites Elite Tier officers who surrounded them fell one by one under the coordinated attack of Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen. With the death of these Elite Tier, the Hittites battle formation began to fall apart, and the previously continuous offensive, which was like a spinning wheel, was halted.

"I'll have the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier on the perimeter to defend against the attacks of the Hittites ordinary soldiers. Shu Yi, switch your focus to the BOSS," Bai Xiaowen continued to command. Under his control, the Bloodspear Clan ancestors, whose summoning time was almost up, abandoned their complete formation and charged into the Hittites battle formation. They were killed one by one under the ant-like onslaught, thus contributing their remaining strength.

Heint was also in a panic. His Divine Might was not high to begin with, and the Vengeful Spirit drained 15 of his mana. He also used the Savage Charge skill, so now he had almost no Divine Might left and couldn't even use a single skill.

He originally had a powerful crowd control ability, but now it's all just a mirage.

Although he was surrounded by more than a thousand guards in the military camp, Heint was all alone, surrounded in the center by Rageclaw, Skeleton Champion, and Li Shuyi. His slave soldiers were blocked outside by the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier forming a circle, and could not break through at all.

The Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier were also running low on Life Value, teetering on the brink of collapse under the relentless attacks of the Hittites slave soldiers. Both sides were locked in a battle of attrition, each determined to withstand the onslaught first.

The first Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier exploded into bone fragments, leaving Heint with 70% Life Value.

Three Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier fell, leaving Heint with only 40% Life Value. Then, the fourth and fifth Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier fell.

With its incredibly high armor and shield, this physical-type BOSS is truly a tough opponent for Bai Xiaowen's team, which relies heavily on melee attacks. After being besieged for so long, Heint still has over 30% Life Value left, but Bai Xiaowen's team is almost at their breaking point.

The Bone Warlock's final Lightning Strike strike reduced Heint's Life Value to 30%. His Divine Might was also severely depleted, leaving him with virtually no fighting ability.

As the team's almost sole source of magical damage, the Bone Warlock plays a crucial role in Heint's boss fight. Without him, relying solely on melee attacks would be far less efficient.

Bai Xiaowen took a breath. His body was slightly hunched, like a sharp arrow, or a gliding shadow.

The next second, Bai Xiaowen appeared behind Heint and grabbed the Han Empire by the throat from behind!

At this moment, Bai Xiaowen's strength value, amplified by the Agony Potential, had reached around 40 points, approaching Heint! Taking advantage of the situation, the throw was successfully judged, and the force sent Heint's large body flying into the air.

However, this was just the beginning.

Bai Xiaowen straightened up, gently blew on two fingers to extinguish a small flame.

Just as Heint was about to land, Bai Xiaowen suddenly opened his arms!

With a muffled thud, a dazzling pillar of fire erupted, sending Heint's body flying back into the air!

Then came the second, the third... a total of six enormous pillars of fire, bombarding Heint one after another. The armored Han Empire was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, eventually being thrown high into the air before crashing down heavily.

Kusanagi-Style Ancient Martial Arts - Ultimate Technique: Ama- Ama-no-Murakumo!

Bai Xiaowen was breathing heavily. Using the forbidden technique, Ama-no-Murakumo, not only deducted one charge of the Kusanagi Sword, but also consumed a large amount of Bai Xiaowen's physical strength! The physical strength consumed was even more than when using the Super Orochi Nagi —this was also because Bai Xiaowen had little practice with this ultimate technique, Ame-no -Ultimate Art: Ama-no-Murakumo, and was relatively unfamiliar with it.

The reason I chose the ultimate technique, Ame-no- Ama-no-Murakumo, is mainly because this move is a concentrated burst of damage, unlike the Super Orochi Nagi which has a dispersed attack.

The significant physical exertion and the expenditure of 10,000 Psionic Points were well worth it.

Heint was engulfed in flames, his Life Value plummeted to rock bottom, and he was also severely Burn Status! The concentrated impact of six pillars of fire was so powerful that even a BOSS with a physical strength would find it difficult to withstand. Heint had iron armor and an iron shield, making his armor defense outstanding, but his magic resistance was not so strong.

Thump!

Heint's body crashed heavily to the ground, completely reduced to nothing. A brilliant golden treasure chest materialized above his corpse.

The death of Heint, the slave owner, dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the surrounding slave soldiers. Many Hittites slave soldiers hesitated and wavered. Heint was their master, and according to Hittites rules, slaves who were the property of their master should either be buried alive with him or be divided up by other slave owners.

Neither outcome is desirable, and the hope of rising through the ranks to a lower-ranking officer based on military merit is simply out of the question.

In an instant, the vast majority of Hittites slave soldiers began to waver and retreat.

Although some of Heint's troops rallied and called on the slave soldiers to charge, the army lost its core without the organization of those Hittites Elite Tier officers.

Bai Xiaowen grabbed the treasure chest, controlling the wounded Rageclaw and Skeleton Champion, and together with Li Shuyi, they formed a wedge formation. Li Shuyi stood at the forefront, wielding her twin swords, sending sprays of blood flying, and once again carved a bloody path through the disorganized camp of the Hittites soldiers.

Elite Tier Hittites who arrived after hearing the commotion attempted to restore order, but Bai Xiaowen's long-range shooting remained sharp, eliminating the Hittites from a distance and ensuring they could not regroup.

After breaking out of the Hittites camp and reaching a safe area, Bai Xiaowen briefly assessed the spoils of war.

The battle resulted in significant casualties; five Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier died, and the surviving summoned creatures, including Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, were all wounded with their Life Value below 30%! It was a narrow victory.

The cost was considerable, but the results were also quite fruitful. Heint dropped a level 7 treasure chest, and several Elite Tier Hittites officers contributed a total of three treasure chests. In addition, the gain in Psionic Points was also substantial. This raid killed at least three or four hundred Hittites soldiers, but most of them were weak slave soldiers below the Standard Template, with a very low probability of dropping treasure chests, contributing only a small amount of Psionic Points.

Furthermore, although Bai Xiaowen's losses appear severe, they are actually all summoned creatures, which can be resummoned after 12 hours. As for the team's low health, there's no need to worry. In non-combat situations, as long as they haven't suffered any Severe Injury, their Life Value will naturally recover to full within a few hours.

"If Butcher hadn't died, the safety of this charge would have been much higher." Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. Although Butcher wasn't as practical as a true tank-type Awakened, he was still the Yi-Yi tank in the team. His large size also had its advantages; charging ahead could absorb a lot of damage for the team. Not to mention his shameless passive recovery ability after killing an enemy, making him perfect for this kind of battlefield.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowen's disgust and murderous intent towards the awakened one Zhalun deepened.

"Let's go, we've achieved our goal. Next, we'll head to Bela Valley to find Pharaoh Ramses," Bai Xiaowen said.

On the way, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi opened the treasure chest they had collected.

The treasure chests of several Elite Tier Hittites officers didn't yield any equipment or items, but instead contained some food called [Rough Rations]. Consuming this food restores 1 point of Life Value per second for 20 seconds.

Restoring 20 Life Value seems like a great deal, but it takes a full 20 seconds, which makes it somewhat impractical. Awakened individuals usually eat food when their health is critically low and they want to quickly recover from danger. This kind of ration isn't suitable for critical situations; it's better than nothing.

Now, all we can do is look forward to Heint's Golden Treasure Chest.
