"Beautiful!"
Lin Jin watched as Litia delivered a fatal blow on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
Litia's sense of timing was impeccable; she appeared at the perfect position at just the right moment. Not even a hint of deviation in her attack. Especially her seamless transition between Teleportation and the strike—it was flawless.
From this one attack, it was clear to Lin Jin that Litia had remarkable combat talent.
As a Legendary Hero, she truly lived up to her name, and her future potential was immeasurable.
On the battlefield, Lin Jin meticulously controlled the Terrifying Knights, sharing the burden of the Dark Knights' attacks and ensuring that the damage taken was minimized.
Facing 8 Terrifying Knights against 20 Dark Knights, naturally, some of the Terrifying Knights had to take on the damage from more than two enemies.
At this moment, the 7th-rank Vampires turned into cannon fodder.
Lin Jin commanded the Vampires to take turns charging in, blocking the Dark Knights' attacks. They could take a couple of hits, and once their health was critically low, Lin Jin would pull them back.
If any of the Vampires had extremely low health, Lin Jin would send them back in again, allowing them to take damage to maximize their last value.
Since the start of the battle, the Terrifying Knights and Vampires had been engaged in combat with the Dark Knights.
In the rear, large numbers of Skeleton Soldiers and Zombies were swarming in. Lin Jin's Skeleton Soldiers and Zombies were powerless to resist and were steadily losing ground.
He ordered them to retreat after drawing the enemy's attention, forming a circular formation.
Especially with the Zombies and Plague Zombies on the outermost perimeter, forming a defensive line.
The enemy's attack power was weak, and it took them a long time to kill Lin Jin's Zombies. With such a formation, only a few enemies could attack Lin Jin's units in any given area.
This maneuver, in another way, weakened the enemy's numerical advantage and reduced their offensive power.
From above the battlefield, it was a sight to behold. The Skeleton Soldiers and Zombies were all packed together, looking like they were doing nothing but standing there, completely ineffective.
This tactical move was truly awe-inspiring.
Sometimes, having the right idea is one thing, but executing it is a whole different matter.
Watching this operation, many players might think they could do it too, but once they tried to implement it, they would realize the many flaws and obstacles.
Combining both ideas and execution—that's what truly separates an expert from the rest.
On the battlefield, under the relentless assault of the Terrifying Knights and Vampires, the Dark Knights fell one after another. The bones of the fallen knights scattered across the ground, and even their armor turned to ash.
With the constant onslaught, all twenty Dark Knights were killed and finally dissipated.
Lin Jin had the Terrifying Knights split up, charging back into the enemy forces and also drawing down the Specters and Wraiths from the low air to join the fight.
After the Dark Knights were wiped out, the remaining enemies were no longer a concern.
Thanks to Lin Jin's buffs to the Terrifying Knights, these cannon fodder stood no chance of harming the knights.
The Terrifying Knights cut down Zombies and Skeleton Soldiers in a single strike, without any hesitation.
The Vampires also spread out, beginning to mop up the remaining minor enemies.
At this point, Lin Jin relaxed, no longer on edge.
He knew that the battle was essentially over.
The harvest continued for a long time, but Lin Jin's attention shifted toward Litia.
Her attacks were graceful yet lethal, like a flower blooming in the dark, exuding a deadly beauty. Every movement of hers caused a flash of sword light, and enemies around her disappeared in waves.
Ding! Congratulations, you have won a glorious victory and gained a large amount of experience!
Ding! Congratulations, you have won a glorious victory and earned a large amount of resources!
Ding! Congratulations, you have won a glorious victory and found the Cursed Helm!
Ding! Congratulations, your strategic level has increased to level 6!
As the last enemy Skeleton Soldier turned into a pile of bones, another series of notifications appeared on Lin Jin's interface.
On the battlefield, a large amount of resources materialized.
Among them, the most striking was a black Skull Helm, emitting a deep, ominous aura.
Cursed Helm (Low-tier): Part of the Cursed Set, it carries the power of dark evil. It's said that ordinary humans who wear this helm will lose their sanity.
Defense +1
Knowledge +1
"That's generous. It dropped a completed item!"
Lin Jin was quite pleased, impressed by his good fortune.
After all, the drop rate for Strategic Artifacts was notoriously low.
But considering the scale of the army he just defeated, it made sense.
Today was the first day of the game, and all the wild area guardians had minimal strength. From now on, the strength of these guardians would increase every day.
After seven days, they would stop increasing, but every subsequent week, the strength would rise again.
So, what Lin Jin just faced was already extremely high difficulty.
If players ventured into this area a little later, disturbing the Undead, they would likely face Terrifying Knights everywhere and Bone Dragons filling the skies!
After reorganizing his forces, Lin Jin continued onward.
However, he noticed that his army had significantly decreased in numbers, with Skeleton Soldiers and Zombies reduced in strength.
When Undead face living creatures, they can replenish their ranks rapidly through Soul Summoning, fighting to sustain their forces.
But when facing other Undead, particularly non-living Undead, their advantage wasn't as substantial.
Despite the loss of troops, Lin Jin wasn't concerned at all.
Only high-tier Undead were worth preserving. As for the low-tier cannon fodder, he could have as much of them as he wanted!
They had served their purpose as cannon fodder, fulfilling their role.
After clearing the Undead guards of the tomb, Lin Jin encountered no further enemies. Soon, he found himself before a massive tomb.
The entrance to the tomb was tightly sealed, majestic in design, resembling a small palace.
Only the most prestigious individuals could be laid to rest in such a tomb.
"Leader of the Silver Hand Knights, Chief Paladin, the Lightbringer Uther!"
Lin Jin narrowed his eyes, his right hand firmly pushing open the long-sealed tomb.
Creeeak!
As the doors creaked open, dust fell from the air, and a chilling, decaying aura surged forth.
Before his eyes lay nothing but endless darkness, a bottomless void.
But just as the darkness seemed to engulf him, the torches along the walls suddenly ignited on their own, lighting up a straight and empty path ahead.
