Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 435: Azure Dragon Crescent Slash

Brook and the other two trotted all the way to the captain of the stronghold.

"Sir, we are here." Brooke said as he looked around.

Ahead stood several pinewood watchtowers, manned by two or three archers. Below the towers was a large fence made of thick tree trunks, within which stood numerous military tents, and outside of it were teams of fully armed soldiers, with the occasional neighing of war horses.

"Why are there only three people in your team? Where are the other two?" The captain of the stronghold was very dissatisfied when he saw Brook's absent-minded look.

"The other two? I don't know." Brook was a little confused by the question, as there were only three people in his team.

"...How did you manage to be a sergeant? You didn't even know the team was missing two men? They must have been afraid of death and deserted."

So he was a sergeant? Well, he was still an official, no matter how small.

"Your Excellency is truly wise, and you guessed it right at once." Brooke flattered him.

"Hmph~ Just admit it. There is a deserter in the team. The sergeant failed to control him and neglected his duties. He bears an unshirkable responsibility! Come, tie him up and give him 20 lashes!" The sergeant in the stronghold shouted loudly.

The corporal was punished for his subordinates' escape? Brooke quickly changed his words and said:

"Wait a minute, sir. I wish to atone for my mistakes! I wish to fight on the battlefield!"

"Oh! You're quite clever. You want to go to the frontline battlefield?"

"I am not afraid of death!"

"Alright! Then I'll give you a chance. Currently, the allied forces have divided into three groups and are advancing towards Sishui Pass. General Yuan Shu and General Liu Bei are heading north; General Sun Jian is heading west; and Lord Yuan Shao and General Gongsun Zan are advancing directly from the center. The battle is raging on the front lines, and General Yuan Shu in the northeast has encountered the enemy's main force, suffering heavy casualties. Lord Yuan Shu has ordered me to dispatch troops to support them, and your squad should follow."

"I obey my orders!"

Brook accepted the mission, broke free from the whip of the stronghold captain, and headed north with Bayin and Wenren Muyue.

The elders of Wushuang City had said that even if this kind of mission was completed, there would be no reward. So Brooke was not in a hurry, but walked slowly while observing the surrounding situation.

The compass map indicated Sishui Pass was located in the northwest corner. The three of them were currently stationed at their base camp in the southeast corner. According to the captain of the stronghold, their camp was a coalition led by Yuan Shao, and Brook and the other two were merely soldiers under Yuan Shao.

Along the way, I saw many teams running quickly northward. There were spearmen with long spears, swordmen with sharp swords, sword and shield soldiers, archers, and knifemen holding daggers in both hands.

Brook secretly used telepathy to check their attributes. The average soldier had around 2-4 HP and 1000-2000 attack damage. Different types of soldiers had slightly different attributes. For example, sword and shield soldiers had high HP but weak attack damage, while archers had low HP but strong attack damage. Other types of soldiers, like swordsmen and spearmen, had more moderate HP and attack damage.

至于伍长，血量达到了4万~6万，攻击也有2000~3000。还有什长，血量8万~10万，攻击3000~4000。

According to this stat breakdown, Brook has 7 HP, but only 2 Daoist magic, which is only enough to be a squad leader. Bayin and Muyue, on the other hand, have just over 2900 HP, so they can only be soldiers.

"Brook, are we really going to rescue that Yuan Shu?" Wenren Muyue asked.

"Let's go over and take a look first. If we can beat them, we'll rescue them. If we can't, we'll leave. In short, safety comes first." Brook said.

Brook had already located the generals the stronghold captain had mentioned using his detection necklace. Yuan Shu and Liu Bei were both in the northeast, so he'd go check them out.

"Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's younger brother. It is said that he is arrogant, greedy and short-sighted. His combat ability is average and his IQ is worrying." Bayin said.

"You know this as well?"

"I read two books about Wushuang City last night, and this is what they recorded."

"No matter what kind of person he is, at worst he is still in the same camp with us. Hey? What do you think, if we don't like him, can we kill him?" Brook suddenly had an idea.

"Of course. I heard from my father that someone has done this before, but it didn't reveal any information and would also attract people from several camps to hunt them down. So we must never do such a stupid thing that is thankless." Wenren Muyue said.

"Okay. I'm just asking."

"Stop! There is a wooden box and a jar over there." Bayin ran away.

With two loud bangs, the wooden box and the jar were smashed. The wooden box was empty, and there were two buns in the jar.

"What a pity. If you are lucky, you can get snacks or fairy wine, which can increase the upper limit of health and magic points." Bayin said.

"Aren't these two buns considered dim sum?"

"Not really. The buns are just like potions, they can be used to replenish health. Each bun can instantly restore 5000 or 5% of health. It's a pity that this kind of food cannot be brought back to the Dragon Empire."

"That's not bad. You guys put it away first."

Bayin and Wenren Muyue each took one.

"I think we should speed up," Brook said.

The map area of ​​Sishui Pass is not particularly large, but according to the current speed of the three people, it will probably take another hour to reach the northeast.

"Don't teleport too far at once, don't fall into the enemy's camp, and don't miss the wooden boxes and jars." Bayin said.

"No problem. 200 yards per transmission?"

"it is good."

Brook teleported to the front, and Bayin followed with Wenren Muyue.

The three of them stopped to observe, but found nothing valuable, so they continued to move forward.

The snow was getting heavier, and a thin layer of snow had already covered the branches and pine needles. The three of them teleported along the way, stopping and starting, and actually found a few more wooden boxes and jars. They opened them and found four steamed buns, two chicken legs, and even a bottle of Hua Tuo ointment.

Chicken Leg: Restores 2 HP or 20% HP.

Hua Tuo Ointment: Restores all health points.

From the front came the sounds of fighting and bloodshed. War horses neighed, men and horses neighed, and there was a cry of killing.

Brook and the other two moved closer and observed from a distance.

Three generals on horseback were seen charging back and forth among the enemy soldiers. One on the left was holding a crescent-shaped sword, one on the right was holding a spear, and the one in the middle was slightly behind, holding two double-edged swords in his hands.

"The man in the middle is Liu Bei, and the two beside him are his sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They are both extremely powerful fighters."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were truly formidable. With a single blow of their sword and spear, they decapitated enemy soldiers. The enemy had no generals, only two mounted centurions supervising the battle from a distance. Behind the centurions stood a small, square brick fortress, a hundred yards long. The gates were firmly shut, and massive crossbow bolts occasionally blazed from the walls, instantly killing anyone struck.

"No need to fight with these soldiers. We must capture the defensive stronghold as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Big brother. Let me take out those two centurions!"

"Brother, I'm here to help you!"

"Be careful with the crossbow! Second brother, third brother, let's go together!"

Ignoring the enemy's encirclement, Liu Bei and his two companions charged forward, relying on their swift horses to quickly reach the rear. They joined forces with the two centurions. Working hand in hand, they felled the two centurions in a matter of seconds. One of them fell, but he wasn't dead yet, tumbling and crawling back towards the fortress. Zhang Fei galloped forward and delivered a powerful lance strike, sending the fleeing centurion reeling.

The enemy, numbering over a hundred, were horrified at the sight of their leader being killed. Without a leader, some were still stabbing with their spears, while many more had already scattered and fled. Suddenly, the enemy became a chaotic mess, losing ground at every turn. Meanwhile, the morale of Liu Bei's soldiers was greatly boosted.

"Kill! Kill the captain guarding the gate, and the gate of the stronghold can be opened!" The soldiers shouted and rushed forward.

Brook looked at the battlefield ahead and could not help but said:

"I'm going to check Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attack and health. Wait for me."

Just as he was about to fly to the front of the battle, Bayin reached out and grabbed him.

"There's no need to take risks. The book says:

1-star entry difficulty, the average general has about 400 million HP and 8 to 1 attack.

2星容易难度，普通将领血量大约600万，攻击1万~1万2。

3星普通难度，普通将领血量大约800万，攻击1万2~1万6。

4星困难难度，普通将领血量大约1000万，攻击1万6~2万。

At 5-star Shura difficulty, the average general has about 1200 million HP and 2 to 2 attack. Some particularly powerful generals have even higher strengths.

"Is that so? Then the strength of these generals is very average, not as strong as the high-level monsters in the Warcraft battlefield." Brook said.

"Sister Bayin is right. In fact, these generals in the ancient battlefield of Wushuang City can be regarded as high-level humanoid monsters. Although their attributes are slightly inferior to those of high-level monsters, they must not be underestimated. Because once these generals accumulate enough energy, they can unleash their unparalleled ultimate skills!"

Wenren Muyue had barely finished speaking when something unexpected happened in the front. A spearman behind Guan Yu suddenly leaped up and thrust his spear fiercely, knocking Guan Yu off his horse with a muffled groan. Seeing this, the enemy quickly gathered around him, surrounding him.

Guan Yu was furious! A flash of light appeared on his body, and he swung his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade rapidly, doubling his attack range! All enemies within a six-yard radius were lifted into the air, a yard or two off the ground. As the Crescent Blade spun, they were slashed, slashed, and slashed again in mid-air! A phantom of a blue dragon seemed to appear in the air, circling with the rotation of the Crescent Blade.

Unparalleled ultimate move, Qinglong Yanyue Slash!

It lasted for 4 or 5 seconds. Guan Yu roared, raised his crescent-shaped sword, and the shadow of a green dragon soared into the sky. The enemies in the air were also carried up and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Guan Yu was surrounded by a vast expanse of space. Everyone, including the captain guarding the gate, had become corpses!

The gate of the defensive stronghold was slowly pushed open by the soldiers, and Zhang Fei rushed in on horseback!
