Chapter 766: Chen Yi vs. Zhang Liao
Chapter 766: Chen Yi vs. Zhang Liao
September 25, 2017
As the gateway to the trial opened, Zhang Liao knew that he would likely lose this time, for he was well aware of the vast gap between his and Chen Yi's command abilities in military leadership.
This was not Zhang Liao being overly modest; it was a fact!
Zhang Liao was only fifteen years old at the time, and while he did have some innate talent for leadership, his temperament had not fully matured. Lu HaiKong had instructed him in the basics of military strategy, but his understanding was limited. In terms of leadership, Zhang Liao's score of 60 was far inferior to Chen Yi's in both data and experience.
Given this situation, Zhang Liao was fully aware that if he honestly defended the city, he would essentially be defeated. Their military command abilities were on completely different levels, and Zhang Liao knew that his only chance of victory was to disrupt Chen Yi's army and confront him directly.
However, in reality, he had no such opportunity. When his legion advanced into Chen Yi's army, Chen Yi's forces quickly responded, surrounding Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao understood Chen Yi, and Chen Yi understood Zhang Liao as well. He knew what strategies Zhang Liao might employ, so as he approached the city walls, he began paying close attention to his surroundings. He had a rough estimate of the size of the enemy legion and was also aware of Zhang Liao's potential tactics.
In this situation, Zhang Liao's every move was anticipated by Chen Yi. Once his ambush was expected, could Zhang Liao still have the advantage?
Zhang Liao essentially made a foolish move by dividing his troops and willingly marching into the enemy's formation.
When the enemy legion surrounded him, Zhang Liao realized his tactical failure, which was unavoidable. He had known from the start that his plan's chances of success were slim.
However, despite Chen Yi's encirclement, Zhang Liao did not give up resistance. Leading his legion, he attempted to break through Chen Yi's main camp.
Both commanders had troops with a strength of only 15, which was quite ordinary. This strength was no match for Zhang Liao's abnormal strength of 79. Within the enemy formation, Zhang Liao's progress was unstoppable.
Although Chen Yi was also not very familiar with his legion, he was still far better than Zhang Liao. As Zhang Liao desperately fought forward, Chen Yi's soldiers behind him were divided and consumed.
Zhang Liao was aware of this, but he had no time to react. His focus was solely on Chen Yi, with the singular goal of breaking through and defeating him. Was this possible? It was not impossible for a general to take an enemy's head in the midst of an army, but it was much more difficult for a young man with a strength of less than 80.
Even though Chen Yi's soldiers had a strength of only 15, Zhang Liao found it challenging to break through.
After Chen Yi's forces had devoured Zhang Liao's soldiers, they turned their full attention to him, making Zhang Liao's situation even more dire. In this dire situation, Zhang Liao, in the midst of the fierce battle, unleashed his full power!
Zhang Liao had been stuck at level 79 for over a year, and he could break through at any time. Now that Lu HaiKong had relaxed his restrictions, Zhang Liao, in the heat of battle, chose to break through without hesitation.
Upon seeing Zhang Liao's decision to break through, Chen Yi was not surprised. After a sigh, he did not intensify his attack at this moment.
With Chen Yi's abilities, he had already gathered over a thousand archers, who could have easily taken Zhang Liao down during his breakthrough. But Chen Yi did not do so; instead, he slowed down his attack, giving Zhang Liao ample opportunity to break through.
After all, regardless of the circumstances, Zhang Liao was still his colleague, and he could not afford to hinder Zhang Liao's breakthrough.
At this moment, interrupting Zhang Liao's breakthrough would inevitably lead to trouble. Therefore, Chen Yi had no choice but to let Zhang Liao break through first.
In fact, Zhang Liao was aware that Chen Yi would accommodate his breakthrough, which was why he acted so boldly. If his opponent were not Chen Yi, Zhang Liao might not have dared to break through so arrogantly amidst the heavy siege, as it carried significant risks.
In other words, Zhang Liao played a clever game. Once he broke through the strength level of 80, his combat power would undoubtedly surge, possibly giving him a chance to defeat Chen Yi. After all, Chen Yi was restricted by Lu HaiKong, and his strength would not increase until he broke through his leadership limit!
With this in mind, Zhang Liao quickly completed his breakthrough.
Zhang Liao, a top-notch historical warrior, showcased his exceptional strength despite being only fifteen years old. After surpassing a strength of 80, his aura and presence became truly awe-inspiring.
As he broke through, he swept his spear, instantly sending over a dozen soldiers flying with a single stroke.
Just as this young man was about to teach Chen Yi a lesson, he realized he had been surrounded.
In front of him were rows upon rows of spearmen advancing step by step, and behind them were thousands of archers aiming their bows directly at him.
It was over.
Zhang Liao clearly understood his defeat as he witnessed this scene. With a strength of 80, he couldn't withstand the thousands of archers aiming at him, no matter how strong he was.
Chen Yi stepped out from the enemy formation, smiling faintly at Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan? I guess you don't want to experience the grandeur of a thousand arrows raining down on you, do you?"
"Hmph, this time you win!"
Zhang Liao hesitated for a long time, finally spitting out these words with resentment. Before he could say anything else, the space around Zhang Liao and Chen Yi suddenly trembled, and the scene before them changed once again.
The difference this time was that Zhang Liao was directly sent out of the instance, while Chen Yi was presented with a pure white space where a book hovered.
Although no one spoke to Chen Yi, when he saw the book, he realized that it was the reward from his lucky encounter. Without hesitation, Chen Yi stepped forward and placed his hand on the book.
Instantly, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.
...
Zhang Liao and Chen Yi's side had a result, and the battle between Dian Wei and the giant ape also took a turn. After being repeatedly teased by the ape, Dian Wei finally lost his temper!
You think you can keep using the terrain to ambush me? Furious, Dian Wei grabbed a tree and uprooted it with his bare hands!
Dian Wei's strength was already terrifying, and uprooting willow trees was effortless for him, especially now that his strength had reached a superhuman level. He violently uprooted each giant tree with ease.
Within half an hour, Dian Wei had cleared a large area of several hundred square meters.
However, while Dian Wei's actions were agile and violent, this kind of outburst also consumed a significant amount of stamina. After half an hour of frenzy, Dian Wei's stamina was considerably depleted, and he was slightly breathless after finishing.
Seeing Dian Wei in this state, the giant ape seemed to sense an opportunity. As Dian Wei bent over to catch his breath, the ape swiftly pounced, intending to ambush. Surprisingly, instead of holding a tree, the ape gripped a sharp rock, aiming to smash it into Dian Wei's head.
Despite the ape's considerable size, its movements were incredibly agile. Its swiftness and burst of speed were astonishing, reaching behind Dian Wei in an instant.
However, just as the ape reached behind Dian Wei, before it could strike, a tree embraced it intimately.
"I let the first ambush slide, but if you keep doing this, do you really think I can't catch you?"
Dian Wei casually threw the tree in his hand, showing no signs of fatigue. In an instant, he burst forth with all his might, charging towards the giant ape.
Dian Wei's previous strike with the stick was precise, not hitting the ape's body but its leg, directly breaking it. This severely limited the ape's mobility.
Now, the giant ape couldn't jump around anymore. Dian Wei easily captured it, and with no chance of escape, the ape had no choice but to engage in a violent clash with Dian Wei.
Both their strengths were at a superhuman level, but in this direct confrontation, Dian Wei clearly had the upper hand. If it weren't for this, the giant ape wouldn't have needed to play this game of cat and mouse from the start.
In the pure strength showdown, Dian Wei quickly gained the upper hand.
With a demonic intensity, Dian Wei thoroughly annihilated the giant ape, ending this prolonged battle on the spot!
After Dian Wei killed the giant ape, the space he was in trembled, and soon the entire space shattered piece by piece.
However, instead of entering a new space like Chen Yi to receive a reward, Dian Wei directly appeared outside the territory instance... Along with the giant ape he had killed.
