Chapter 204: Ancient Military Trial

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Li Cheng returned to the lost continent again, it was already evening. The sun on the horizon illuminated the entire territory in blood-red.

At this time, countless soldiers walked out from the imperial training grounds.

“Ding, dong! When you were offline, the imperial training ground of the Profound Empire received a total of two hundred thousand experience points. You also triggered a ten thousand times increase and obtained a total of two million experience points!

“Ding, dong! Your Frost Dragon has increased in level. Currently, it is level two.

“Ding, dong! Your Frost Dragon has increased in level. Currently, it is level three.

“Ding, dong!”

If the imperial training ground had triggered a 10,000-times increase, the levels of the countless newly recruited troops would be pulled to the maximum.

This was another terrifying aspect Li Cheng had. After logging in, he would obtain more experience points than others who did not sleep or rest.

Time flew by and two days had passed. During these two days, most of the extremely hardworking players had successfully obtained the tier five Meat Shield soldier, Bramble Centaur, under the Pearl and Little Rain’s leadership. They had also obtained the exclusive Gold-grade equipment, Bramble Shell.

It could be said that everyone’s combat power had increased by a large margin. At this time, Li Cheng was ready to set off for the Kingdom of Kent.

Li Cheng looked at his huge army. Up until now, he had a total of 1,960,000 Frost Marksmen, 1,320,000 Lucky Gamblers, 1,960,000 Heavenly Knights, 53,000 Frost Dragons, 5,090,000 Holy Light Priests, 1,840,000 Shadow Assassins, and 47,000 Profound Puppets, totaling to 13,170,000 soldiers!

This still did not include the Forest Treants, Trelefany’s believers, and the new population that was constantly moving in from all directions.

With an army of this size, Li Cheng could even take on the Church of Darkness. On top of that, he had the information to do so. He took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, “Let’s go!”

After saying that, he jumped onto Lillian’s horse and hugged her slim waist.

Lillian waved her small hand and a faint Shadow Mist instantly enveloped all the troops. This operation was completely confidential, at least until it was completed. It could not be leaked to the outside world. Therefore, Lillian’s Shadow Mist was extremely important.

..

The Kingdom of Kent was located in the southwest of the continent, not too far from Li Cheng’s territory. If ordinary players wanted to go there, they would need at least a week.

However, for Li Cheng, it would only take a few hours.

Along the way, they passed countless camps of wild monsters and many towns that were founded by the natives.

A few hours later, the stars in the sky began to shine brightly and the moon gave off a cool glow.

“Ding, dong! You’ve entered the Kingdom of Kent’s territory. Please, strictly abide by the laws of the kingdom or you’ll anger the ruler of the kingdom.

“Ding, dong! As a member of the guild, Extreme God, you have the right to station troops in the Kingdom of Kent. Please, confirm your identity to the guards so you can enter the city to resupply.

“Ding, dong…”

After hearing a series of notifications, Li Cheng took a deep breath and led his troops to the coordinates of the temple.

If Li Cheng remembered correctly, the war in the Kingdom of Kent would only happen at least a year later.

At that time, the Kingdom of Kent would be divided into three countries, the first under Prince Pine, the second under Prince Phil, and the third under Princess Lena. The players from the Divine Dragon Alliance could choose one of them to assist them.

However, the current Kingdom of Kent was still able to maintain peace. The two princes were attacking each other, and the little princess was still the Saintess of the Goddess of Phantom. On the surface, no one dared to make a move yet.

However, in the dark, the followers of the Phantom Temple were constantly being assassinated. At this moment, everyone was in a state of panic. Countless people had defected to other churches, which caused Ella’s divine power to drop rapidly.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng took a deep breath. He did not head directly to the kingdom’s capital city, Hindley City.

His plan was to first attend the military training. After all, he still needed to improve his army.

After more than an hour, Li Cheng was done. Along the way, he passed by many cities. He was only half an hour away from the capital city when the system’s voice suddenly rang.

“Ding, dong! You’ve entered a special area. Please, proceed with caution!

“Ding, dong…”

Li Cheng stopped and looked at the bright pillar of light not far ahead of him. This trial was no longer a secret. Someone had discovered this ancient trial hundreds of years ago.

However, no one had ever cleared it. Thinking of this, he used a scouting spell.

[Ancient military trial]

[Description: A cold battlefield filled with countless heroes. Can one find the ancient inheritances from ancient battles?]

[Level: 80]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Difficulty: Nightmare]

[Entry Requirements: 1,500,000 soldiers and below]

…

Seeing this, Li Cheng walked into the light beam without hesitation.

“Ding, dong! You’ve entered the ancient military trial. Current difficulty, Nightmare!

“Ding, dong! For unknown reasons, all of your troops’ attributes have been decreased by 30%!

“Ding, dong! Current mystical realm clearance condition. Destroy the worm nest!

“Ding, dong! Current mystical realm remaining time is twenty-four hours.

“Hint. The map of the secret realm will automatically be sent out if you exceed the time limit. I wish you good luck!”

It could be said that the Legendary military trial was very difficult. His attributes had dropped by a full 30%.

However, this was not a big problem for Li Cheng. Even if his attributes had been reduced by half, he could still complete it smoothly. At this moment, he was looking at the contents of the trial.

Destroying 20 nests within 24 hours was considered a very harsh condition as the hives here could be regenerated indefinitely.

After being destroyed, they could be regenerated within an hour. They would also instantly spawn an army of countless Zergs. This was the most difficult part of this secret realm.

The distance between each nest was also very large. With Li Cheng’s current speed, he would need at least 10 minutes to reach each nest. Hence, he would not be able to destroy all of the nests within an hour.

Facing such a situation, the best method was to split up. However, there was a condition when entering the secret realm. The total number of soldiers was not allowed to exceed 1,500,000. Facing an endless army of Zergs, the players would not dare to split up. Hence, it put them in an endless cycle.

This was also the reason why no one could complete this trial for hundreds of years.

Of course, Li Cheng did not have this problem. His troops were supermodels. Even if the queen of these Zergs came, he would not be afraid.

Splitting his troops up was completely possible for Li Cheng.. Moreover, in this secret plane, he had the most useful troops—the Shadow Assassins.
