One sword!
Only one sword!
The previously arrogant ogre lord was blasted to death instantly!
Lin Yang was shocked by this thunderous descent of the Thunder Punishment Divine Sword.
He knew Ling Yue was strong after learning the Purple Firmament Thunder Sword Technique, but never imagined she had grown this much unknowingly.
In this battle, Zhao Meng's terrifying combat power had already greatly impressed him—single-handedly holding off armies!
But Ling Yue's performance was even more dazzling.
This move seemed to consume huge energy.
After releasing the Thunder Punishment Divine Sword, Ling Yue's face flushed with a strange redness—the consumption was tremendous.
That was understandable; such a terrifying skill would be suspicious if it used little energy.
With the ogre lord's death, the war finally ended.
The few remaining ogres still barely resisting completely collapsed.
To many ogres, Ogre Lord Edmund was an invincible figure!
It was his terrifying power and prestige that united the tribe.
When their core died, the ogre army's morale plunged again.
The ogres had already been routed by the Demon Suppression Legion, elven archers, and Zhao Meng, broken and scattered.
Now, their last shred of fighting spirit vanished.
Cries of pain and anguish rang out.
One by one, the ogres lost the will to fight, turning to frantic flight.
Some too slow to escape even knelt and surrendered, hoping to survive.
But for these lazy beasts who fed on humans, elves, goblins, and other intelligent beings, Lin Yang had no interest in recruiting them.
His order was to kill them all, leaving none alive!
No matter how they begged after surrendering, the Shadow Archers ruthlessly pierced their heads with arrows.
Compared to before the war, the fleeing ogres were more pitiful than ever, no trace of their prior fierceness.
In the end, only a few ogres escaped, madly running for their lives, not daring to look back.
[You have successfully defeated the ogre tribe, slaying many ogres, reputation +1000]
[All ogres' favorability toward you decreased by 200]
[Current relation: Hostile (-200)]
[You have won a minor war]
[Final evaluation: SS Rank]
[You received 6,000 Energy Crystals reward] (Base reward 1,000 + 500% for SS Rank)
……
"SS Rank evaluation?"
Seeing the final rank, Lin Yang's spirit soared.
Before this, his highest rank was only S+.
The SS Rank alone brought 6,000 Energy Crystals, showing the difficulty of the achievement.
Excited, Lin Yang checked the other rewards:
[A-rank special reward: A bag of 100 Qingxin Lotus seeds.]
[S-rank special reward: Energy Battle Puppet (Tier 3)]
[SS-rank special reward: Book of War]
……
Qingxin Lotus was a Spirit Plant higher than Lingzhi.
Direct consumption cleared heat and nourished the body, and could reduce the risk of derangement when cultivating certain special Cultivation Techniques.
Of course, almost all Spirit Plants were better used in Elixir refining than direct consumption.
As for the S-rank Energy Battle Puppet...
————
[Item]: Tier 3 Energy Battle Puppet
[Type]: Puppet
[Effect]: Can attach a sliver of consciousness to the puppet.
The puppet can take the user's appearance and be controlled to perform various actions.
The puppet's Four Attributes equal those of a level 30 excellent hero, without any talents and unable to cause level suppression.
[Skill]: Efficient Repair — after damage, the puppet can use Energy Crystals to restore itself if its core remains intact.
[Description]: A puppet made by special means, capable of creating a perfect illusion.
————
The Energy Battle Puppet was a special tool.
Purely in combat power, a Tier 3 puppet could not compare to a level 20 excellent hero.
Though it had higher attributes, it had no talents or skills, limiting its combat ability.
However, the puppet's use was not for fighting.
It primarily acted as a body double, providing some protection against assassination.
Of course, in Lin Yang's view, the puppet's uses went beyond that—such as scouting dangerous areas, or experiencing frontline combat vicariously.
Even for negotiations with other forces, when the real person couldn't attend, the puppet could stand in.
In short, it was versatile.
The final SS-rank reward was yet another strategic treasure!
————
[Item]: Book of War
[Quality]: Level 7 Magical Item
[Attributes]: Spirit +500
[Skills]: Sharpness, Fierce Strike, Iron Arm, Rock
[Description]: A powerful Magical Item imbued with multiple war spells, a super weapon on the battlefield!
————
Though the Book of War's skills were not individually strong, the sheer number was impressive!
All were group buff skills, with four in total.
These buffs would cause any army to undergo a qualitative transformation!
