Chapter 188: Anomaly
At this moment, Bai Ze, who was completing the sweep with the second wave of cavalry, was utterly astonished by Luo Ji’s multi-stage charge strategy.
This tactical approach was not actually complicated, but he had never considered it before!
And there was also this series of horse tack, including saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes.
Among these, the warhorse blinders and earplugs surprised him the most.
When he first saw these two items, Bai Ze’s initial reaction was incomprehension.
If you cover the warhorses’ eyes, they can’t see the path, and so how could they run faster?
Yet, facts proved that on the battlefield, warhorses that couldn’t see or hear actually became easier to control and charged faster…
All of this, without exception, proved that the man in the distance understood the cavalry unit even better than he did.
This was no longer a matter of being convinced or not, but of being thoroughly overwhelmed.
With the facts laid bare, he had no choice but to admit it.
The entire invasion battle ended in an instant, so quickly that people could barely react.
Although the cavalry unit required suitable terrain and charging speed, and maintaining such a cavalry force had daily consumption and costs far exceeding those of ordinary infantry units, it could not be denied that a cavalry force with so many restrictions, once placed in the right position, could unleash devastating destructive power!!
“Xiao Bingyi? Is that right?”
Gently pulling the reins in his hand, Luo Ji rode his horse to the man.
Sitting on horseback, he looked down at Xiao Bingyi, who had been trampled into a bloody mess by hooves during the second charge and was clearly not far from death.
“Your current condition is basically beyond saving, very painful, isn’t it?”
“Answer my question.”
“Who sent you?”
“If you do, I’ll give you a quick end.”
There wasn’t much pity in Luo Ji’s eyes as he looked at the other party; he had never considered himself a benevolent person.
It was unclear if his consciousness was already blurring, but Xiao Bingyi did not answer, merely breathing with difficulty, making a sound like a broken bellows…
“Not answering?”
Luo Ji didn’t show much anger about this, in fact, a meaningful smile even played at the corner of his mouth.
“I admire people with backbone.”
“Given your backbone, I won’t kill you.”
“Rejoice, you can still cling to life for a long time.”
“However, the smell of blood here is so strong, and I believe that after we leave, it won’t be long before large numbers of hungry wild beasts are attracted here.”
“I hope by then, you can still have such backbone…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bingyi’s pupils noticeably constricted, proving that he had absolutely heard Luo Ji’s words clearly.
Then, a hoarse voice brokenly emerged from his mouth.
“Y-you… you devil…”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Luo Ji readily accepted being called a ‘devil’ by the other party.
“How about it?”
“Choose either a quick end, or wait to be gnawed to death bit by bit by wild beasts.”
Xiao Bingyi finally succumbed.
“Wang… Wang Luzong…”
“Wang Luzong?”
Luo Ji confirmed aloud.
“Pr-promise, give me… give me a quick end…”
“Don’t worry, I still have that much credibility.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji flicked the spear in his hand.
The sharp spearhead directly pierced through the leather armor on Xiao Bingyi’s chest, plunging into his heart!
Feeling the piercing pain, as if it were a final flicker of life, at that moment, Xiao Bingyi used his hoarse voice to shriek with all his might.
His tragic appearance made him look like a vengeful spirit crawled out of hell.
“Luo Ji!”
“You won’t come to a good end!”
“I’ll wait for you in hell!!”
“Haha, hahahahaha!!!!”
Intense hatred seemed to form a visible aura, twisting continuously.
Facing Xiao Bingyi’s seemingly cursed roar, Luo Ji’s expression remained calm.
He spoke with an unchanging tranquility…
“Oh, really?”
“Then you’ll have quite a wait.”
Before his words fully fell, Luo Ji’s hand, gripping the spear, suddenly exerted force, instantly piercing through Xiao Bingyi’s heart and taking away his last trace of life.
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for achieving victory in the invasion battle.]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining item ‘Black Iron Treasure Chest ×1.’]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining ‘Xiao Bingyi’s Legacy.’]
“Only a Black Iron Treasure Chest?”
Luo Ji frowned upon hearing the system notification.
After a brief thought, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
It seemed the power gap between him and the enemy was too great.
After evaluation, the system had deemed this an easy and self-evident victory.
In other words, completely wiping out invaders of this level was only worth one Black Iron Treasure Chest, aspiring to a Silver Treasure Chest was out of the question.
According to this calculation, Luo Ji felt it would be difficult to obtain Gold Treasure Chests in battles against unranked players.
He had inadvertently developed too well in the early stages through farming.
“Dispose of these bodies and collect all the spoils of war.”
After giving the instructions, Luo Ji immediately rode his horse back to the city.
On the way, while activating his Truce Token, he didn’t forget to send a message to Ye Qingxuan, informing her that his battle was over.
Then he quickly opened his system inventory for a look.
That ‘Xiao Bingyi’s Legacy,’ to put it plainly, meant that upon a player’s death, the items in their inventory and their Civilization Points were dropped.
He opened it for a quick look.
Given Luo Ji’s current financial power, those 80 or 90 thousand Civilization Points were insignificant.
As for items, there were only a few Black Iron and Bronze-tier items that were better than nothing.
Even if there were Silver-tier items, they were probably stored in the opponent’s System Warehouse.
But it didn’t matter.
Luo Ji had already decided from the beginning that if those high-ranked players wanted to target them, they would have to use unranked players as a medium.
Therefore, in this war, he was determined to use ruthless methods to deter all unranked players, until no one among the unranked dared to invade them again!
At the same time, just now, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a new tactical approach.
He decisively messaged Ye Qingxuan to communicate, and after exchanging ideas and confirming the new strategy, their grasp of this war couldn’t help but grow stronger.
However, Luo Ji, or rather, no one, noticed that at the same time he killed Xiao Bingyi with a single spear thrust, a subtle anomaly was occurring throughout the entire world he inhabited.
And the closest anomaly location to them was on the west side of Mirror Tribe, approximately two days’ journey away.
On that plain, the entire space suddenly twisted, and in the blink of an eye, what was once an empty plain now inexplicably had a tribal camp of no small scale!
But the people of that tribe seemed not to have noticed this anomaly, and not even the slightest change appeared in their expressions, as if they had always lived there…
