Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 201 The difference between the Ten Commandments of Damol and Balford is basically equivalent to the difference between using a cup and using a real person.

Similar to Cheng Tian replacing Lancelot's adjutant, this player named "Sailor" also gained the qualification to infiltrate the Silver Cavalry by virtue of his real-world equestrian skills and by demonstrating his Popeye mutated bloodline to the Twin Swords Knights. He even obtained a set of Raider Armor that could only be used in this scenario.

However, his mission was unsuccessful from the start; even his superior horsemanship could not stop his warhorse from the roar of the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex, the top land predator.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Although the horse's legs went weak from the roar, causing him to fall off and be buried in the ensuing chain-reaction car accident, he also managed to avoid the Round Table Knights' charge and slash, as well as Cheng Tian's Solar Fist.

Although the death of the Twin Swords Knight Balford would not directly cause their main mission to fail, the death of the commander would inevitably lead to a drop in rating and even a further reduction in rewards, and the sailors certainly would not sit idly by.

With the help of the canned spinach in his inventory, his strength, which was already at 24 points, suddenly surged to 36 points, allowing him to push away the corpse covering him.

He immediately noticed Cheng Tian's move to shield strike his commander and charged forward without hesitation, throwing punches.

As an E-rank skill, Charge Punch's damage is naturally average, but its strength lies in its low mana cost and short cooldown. It can even be used to reduce health in critical moments. As long as it is combined with your own Wave Power, the speed of reducing health through continuous output is still very fast.

However, the fact that he had been resisted for six consecutive times and had zero damage output still made him a little uneasy, and a feeling of "Why?" arose spontaneously.

The reason is that although his skill can indeed deal considerable damage with its high strength, it only deals 18 points of damage per hit. Moreover, every punch was precisely blocked by Cheng Tian's shield. Just like Cheng Tian's Blessed Blade caused physical attenuation when it hit Balford, the sailor's punches landed on the shield, and the impact damage that eventually penetrated through was only half of what it used to be.

However, this half-value was enough to satisfy the absorption and resistance effect of the Primal Shell. As a result, after these six consecutive punches, Cheng Tian's mana bar actually recovered 14 points of MP.

If the sailor hadn't used any skills and had simply punched Cheng Tian with his fist, which was adorned with blue knuckle dusters, it wouldn't have been perfectly resisted and absorbed...

However, the sailor's disbelief lasted only a moment. Realizing that Cheng Tian was a more troublesome player than he had imagined, he immediately used another consumable item from his inventory.

He raised his arm, which was still in the form of a spinach mutation, and a scroll that was already open and covered with bloody words appeared in his hand.

The next second, accompanied by a commotion that caused the ground to tremble slightly, a group of simply dressed commoners of varying heights and builds appeared out of thin air. They then, like madmen, bypassed the sailor and forcefully rammed into all the Knights of the Round Table cavalry in a straight line, ultimately even affecting Cheng Tian, ​​who had just managed to withstand a six-hit combo of powerful punches.

"Militia Strategy" is a consumable item originating from the arcade game "Dynasty Warriors 2: Heroes of the Three Kingdoms". It summons a group of fleeing Shu Han civilians to launch a desperate charge against enemies in a straight line, dealing 25 points of charge damage per hit, up to 5 hits in a row, and also causing a forced displacement effect.

This time, Cheng Tian was like a conspicuous bag being lifted and carried by the crowd at a concert, bouncing around on the heads of the refugees, and the blue bar began to show a continuous decline.

Seeing Cheng Tian being carried away by the refugees on the spot, and without any indication of the props being resisted, the sailor breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to turn around and cover the retreat of the dual-sword knights back to the infantry group that was about to regroup. However, he caught a glimpse of something falling from the sky in a parabolic arc from the direction where Cheng Tian was being taken away.

It was a crystal-clear, collectible red bead that one would want to place on one's desk or bookshelf at first glance.

But this magnificent jewel struck the ground without mercy, shattering instantly. In an instant, a shockwave, so powerful that no one could resist, spread out from the shattered red jewel. Both the sailors and Balford, whose figure was now barely discernible, were thrown to the ground by this irresistible force.

However, what followed was the most terrifying.

The seven raider cavalrymen who belonged to the Roman camp and were not completely dead, inexplicably turned an unnatural golden color as they were engulfed by the shockwave. Their remaining life force was then completely drained and rapidly transformed into four bags of gold and silver coins, two silver coin chests, and a set of gold and silver tea utensils.

Red Vibration Orb! Effective!
In the sailor's field of vision, which was knocked to the ground, there was nothing but gold and silver treasures within reach... and friendly knight units lying next to the treasures, who had completely lost their lives. The conflicting feelings of joy and fear rose up in the sailor's heart at the same time.

Why would he choose to infiltrate the Raiders' Cavalry? Isn't it for more bounty?
But more than the desire for the bounty, the immediate deaths of these friendly units utterly horrified the sailors. Clearly, their deaths were directly related to the broken red orb. And what about himself, who was also affected by that shockwave? Would he also be forced to squeeze the bloody treasure chest?

Ignoring the fact that he hadn't gotten up yet, the sailor quickly opened the control panel with his mind. After seeing that his health bar hadn't fluctuated much, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. But the next second, a dark shadow loomed over his head.

In the sailor's view, a huge foot belonging to a crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex was rapidly growing larger.

With the Sword in the Stone's exceptional defensive capabilities, Arthur, who was the first to recover from his blindness, strode forward and charged toward Balford, whose eyes were still not fully open. Using the momentum of his charge, he delivered a powerful, sweeping slash.

However, Balford, who was under continuous control by multiple people, chose the safest approach at this time.

Like a gymnast, he used his sword-wielding stance to perform a Thomas Flair, rising up in a 360-degree whirlwind of sword strikes. Simultaneously, his body unleashed a terrifying storm of fighting spirit, directly blowing Arthur, who had switched from a slash to a block, away.

Battle Qi Storm!

As mentioned before, many arcade beat 'em up games feature playable characters with invincibility frames that can be used to escape dangerous situations. However, using these skills usually requires losing health, hence the common name "health-loss skills".

The Three Knights of Arthur possessed this skill, called "Holy Aura Storm," while Balford also had a nearly identical "Aura Storm." However, his Aura Storm had a unique feature that the Three Knights lacked: it could be used even when the user was down, and it also allowed the user to get up during the casting process.

The previous series of misjudgments had made the dual-sword knight, whose health was now less than 60%, extremely cautious.

The aura storm not only successfully blew Arthur away, but also shattered several golden energy arrows that were flying towards him.

"...As expected of a humanoid BOSS, the feel of defeating it is completely different from that of large BOSSes."

Cheng, who had been taken far away by the Shu refugees, first glanced at his almost depleted mana bar, then at the dual-sword knight who had successfully rolled backward to rejoin the infantry. Instead of showing any frustration, he became even more excited because he had encountered a difficult boss.
