The bizarre SS-rank trial: Did Blue Star lose the war?

Shen Xing looked at all this with a somewhat confused expression.

At that moment, a tall, middle-aged man in officer's armor approached him. "Rookie, what are you doing? Hurry up and rush forward to create an opportunity for the 'Star-Slaying Energy Cannon' to attack!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing's expression shifted slightly.

Charge forward to create an opportunity for the Star-Slaying Energy Cannon to attack?

Could this be the main quest of this trial?

He glanced around discreetly.

His gaze passed through the raging battlefield and looked behind him.

There, a magnificent ancient city stands on the plain.

The city walls are hundreds of meters high, with a dense array of arrow towers and tall towers behind them.

On the city walls, countless soldiers drew their bows or fired their cannons, launching attacks into the distance.

In the city center, there are three war machines, each over a kilometer long, made of a special metal.

The cannon barrel alone was over 500 meters long, accumulating terrifying power within it and emanating waves of destructive aura.

As he looked at the battlefield ahead, huge plumes of gray fog raged across it.

Wherever it passed, all the soldiers were melted into blood before they could even scream.

Even the officer who had just given the order to Shen Xing was hit by a strange attack, and his head exploded on the spot.

Seeing this, Shen Xing's lips twitched, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't rushed forward.

"Those monsters in the gray mist are probably at least Grandmaster Rank level. Isn't this just suicide?"

He felt that the Master Trial shouldn't involve killing the monsters in the gray fog.

After all, he's only an Expert Rank lord right now, two major ranks below those monsters.

Even if this is an SS-level trial, it is still an impossible task.

Just then, a system notification flashed before my eyes!

[Ding! Attention Pioneer, the Master Trial has officially begun!]

[Trial Content: Help Queen Silvia's Royal Guard defeat the mysterious monsters in the gray fog and win this war!]

(Note: You can also choose to join the Gray Fog faction and help them conquer the city.)

"Um?"

Shen Xing's eyes widened instantly, completely dumbfounded.

He was just thinking that this SS-level trial shouldn't require him to fight against Grandmaster Rank expert, otherwise the difficulty would be too abnormal.

The results weren't just the most outrageous, they only got more outrageous!

The goal shifted from eliminating a single monster to winning the entire war.

Clearly, the two are not on the same level of difficulty at all.

After all, on such a large-scale battlefield, there are quite a few monsters of the Grandmaster Rank.

He was just a common soldier, with neither power nor strength, so he couldn't do anything at all.

Moreover, Shen Xing also discovered that the Dragon Lord's Transformation Form was also unusable here.

This is tantamount to having your biggest trump card banned, it's like adding insult to injury.

The only good news is that his mental strength is still intact, allowing him to control his mental power and kill people silently.

"Thank goodness, I can still use my mental energy, which means there's still a glimmer of hope."

"In that case, let's give it a try."

"Let's see if we can take down this boss, and then proceed with the next step depending on the situation."

With his current mental strength, he could briefly control Grandmaster if he unleashed his full power.

With the addition of the surrounding soldiers and some Master Rank experts, if they coordinate well, they should be able to take him down.

If I make meritorious contributions, I might be promoted and given a rank such as captain or centurion.

Having subordinates gives you more room to maneuver.

With this in mind, he acted swiftly.

Next, while dodging the inexplicable mental attacks on the battlefield, Shen Xing Charge with the soldiers around him.

Soon, they rushed to within three kilometers of the gray fog.

Instead of advancing, he mingled with the crowd and continuously operated the weapons on the ground to launch attacks.

Chapter 318: The Bizarre SS-Rank Trial, Has Blue Star Been Defeated?

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Under Shen Xing's mental control, various broken swords, spears, battle axes, Arrows... attacked the gray mist one after another.

Using the soldiers as cover, he continuously inflicted damage on the monster.

And with each attack, he would change positions.

Although most of the attacks went unanswered and had no effect.

But Shen Xing could still sense that some of the attacks had hit.

The creatures inside would occasionally let out eerie cries of pain, followed by terrifying counterattacks that killed all the soldiers in that area.

However, Shen Xing had already fled and moved to another place to hide.

As for the dead soldiers, in his eyes they were just APCs generated in the trial space.

Under his relentless attacks, the monster in the gray fog screamed incessantly, its breath growing weaker and weaker.

Other soldiers and officers also noticed this scene and looked in surprise in the direction from which the attack came.

"This was sent by... that new recruit?"

"Such skillful manipulation, and its destructive power is also considerable!"

"Which regiment does this guy belong to? Tell me his name later."

Several officers discussed amongst themselves, their eyes all falling on Shen Xing.

At this moment, an officer unleashed the aura of Master Rank expert, shouting, "Everyone, unleash your full power! Cooperate with this recruit and create an opportunity for the 'Star-Slaying Cannon'!"

"Maybe this time we really have a chance to take down this monster!"

Upon hearing this, the other officers also realized what was happening, and a murderous glint appeared in their eyes!

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

A series of powerful auras erupted and swept towards the gray mist!

Seeing this, Shen Xing felt somewhat relieved.

"The people in this trial scenario aren't stupid."

"It seems there's a good chance of completing the trial!"

With this in mind, he felt even more confident.

Then, Shen Xing continued to maintain the same attack rhythm, launching a frenzied assault on the gray mist!

After five minutes of continuous scraping, coupled with the successive attacks from several Master Rank officers nearby, the aura of the gray mist had become increasingly weak.

At the same time, the officer who had spoken waved his hand.

Behind them, in the colossal city, one of the massive energy cannons began to turn its muzzle.

"Buzz—"

The terrifying energy accumulated to its peak at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of energy, hundreds of meters thick and extremely dazzling, suddenly erupted.

"Whoa!!!"

The beam of light instantly traversed tens of thousands of meters, passing through most of the battlefield, and struck the cloud of gray mist directly!

"Waaah—"

At that moment, Shen Xing heard a strange cry of pain.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying energy surge erupted!

"Boom!!!"

The entire battlefield seemed to be illuminated, and everyone briefly lost their sight.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that my vision gradually returned.

When Shen Xing looked closely, he was immediately struck by a startling sight.

Where the gray fog had been, a huge crater several hundred meters in diameter had appeared.

The monsters within had been completely evaporated.

At that moment, the soldiers around them were filled with ecstatic joy.

"We won! We took it down!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live the Star-Slaying Cannon!"

"With concerted efforts, victory will surely be ours!"

They erupted in thunderous cheers, raising their weapons high in excitement.

Shen Xing was also very happy.

"Great, the first one's taken down."

"This proves that my tactic is feasible."

"Although it consumes a lot of mental energy, there is no time limit for this trial."

"As long as I maintain my pace and proceed gradually, I may be able to complete the trial mission."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

Just as Shen Xing was preparing to press on and follow the main force to attack the second Gray Mist Regiment...

Suddenly, an even larger and thicker cloud of gray fog gathered above their heads out of thin air!

At that moment, a terrifying sense of oppression descended from the sky.

As if Mount Tai had collapsed, Shen Xing immediately felt his legs buckle, and he was almost lying face down on the ground.

The other soldiers on the field felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies stiff with fear.
