Chapter 23 Black Armor General
In the spirit world, there is a certain probability that a treasure chest will drop when you kill a unit with a template. The drop rate of the treasure chest is affected by many factors, such as the difference in strength between the enemy and yourself, the percentage of kill contribution, the importance of the enemy in the world, and the importance of the enemy in the mission, etc.

In short, it is difficult to quantify.

All the enemies Ye Mingqiu killed had templates. Although ordinary soldiers were of very low importance in this world, they were numerous and strong enough compared to Ye Mingqiu, who had no template. Moreover, there were many elite template units with a higher drop rate from chests.

Therefore, Ye Mingqiu actually obtained quite a few treasure chests during the battle.

However, the battles were too intense, draining his energy and putting him under immense mental pressure. It was difficult for him to open treasure chests while fighting; a moment of distraction could result in a headshot and ruin everything. Therefore, he turned on auto-loot and then ignored it. (Auto-loot can only pick up chests with 100% kill contribution.)
The current haul includes 167 Iron Chests and 26 Bronze Chests.

Various rewards flooded the screen, but Ye Mingqiu was too lazy to look at them all. He went straight to the equipment category to see what he could equip to improve his strength.

Bronze Ring

Rank: First Rank

Quality: Bronze

Equipment effect: Strength +2, Agility +1, Spirit +3
Blood Crystal Necklace

Rank: First Rank

Quality: Bronze

Equipment effect: Health +100
[Black Cloak]

Rank: First Rank

Quality: black iron

Equipment effect: Agility +2
These are the only usable equipment. Of course, it's not that we didn't get armor, gauntlets, or boots from this treasure chest, but the bronze armor is a set with such powerful attributes that it's not suitable to exchange it for individual pieces. That's why Ye Mingqiu didn't consider changing it.

Putting everything else aside, the 200 maximum health is already a peak that other individual pieces can only dream of, not to mention that it also adds +5 to all attributes, making it extremely effective. Black iron-grade individual pieces simply cannot replace it.

So, the equipment!

With the bronze ring, black cloak, and blood crystal necklace instantly equipped, Ye Mingqiu felt the new power surging within him and smiled.

The toughest part of the opening is over; now it's time to sweep through the battlefield!
Ye Mingqiu had mentally reviewed the situation. The fundamental reason he was able to fight to this extent was that, as a person with a special mental ability, he possessed top-tier warrior talent and had more defensive damage reduction, which made it difficult for the enemy soldiers to break through his defenses. This allowed him to keep charging and killing in battle.

Even a top-tier mage couldn't achieve this level of performance in the same scenario. As long as the arrows can penetrate the mage's defenses, the mage would be chased and shot. Otherwise, a volley of arrows would mean certain death for the mage if they didn't run away. Even if they didn't die, being poisoned by the arrows would be extremely painful.

Moreover, with so many enemies, the mage in the early game simply didn't have enough mana to kill so many people. Ye Mingqiu relied on his talent amplification to further increase his psionic energy recovery speed and used low-cost psionic energy enchantments in conjunction with Musou attacks. Essentially, he fought by basic attacks rather than skills.

As dusk fell like blood, Ye Mingqiu held a bronze spear, its tip propelling the last rays of the setting sun towards the vast Zhou army, his killing intent surging forth.

A black-armored general leaped out from the enemy ranks, his bronze axe gleaming with a blood-red glow, and shouted, "Your fate is sealed, why not surrender now?"

Hmm? This guy is something else!
Detection technique!
【兏 (Level 1 Boss)】 【Race: Human】

[Attributes: Strength: 15, Agility: 10, Constitution: 14, Spirit: 8]

It turned out to be a leader-level BOSS, and this guy was even riding a horse, leading a group of cavalry!
I am an infantryman!
They were surrounded by a group of cavalry!

Moreover, the leader of the opposing side is the chief!
Is this a slap in the face?
Ye Mingqiu was greatly alarmed. Immediately afterwards, the Zhou army's war drums thundered, and countless soldiers behind the black-armored general rhythmically struck the ground with their weapons. The thunderous and majestic sounds rose one after another, creating an incomparably powerful and imposing atmosphere.

Detection technique!
[War Drums Rumble: After the war drums sound, the morale of allied soldiers is boosted to its maximum, increasing all attributes by 10%]

There's even a group buff?

This is a completely different level of intensity than before!

Ye Mingqiu's original pride vanished. When facing a leader-level BOSS leading a group of elite cavalry in a charge, few people could maintain a good mindset.

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy's attack intensity has increased significantly because he killed too many people before, leading Zhou's army to conclude that there is a powerful general inside the city, necessitating the deployment of additional troops to attack. The inhabitants of the Spirit Realm are not fools or static NPCs; they possess their own independent consciousness, can think, and can make judgments based on the situation.

"Gan!"

Ye Mingqiu bent down, staring intently at the massive, dark army before him. His heart pounded at its fastest, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"kill!"

The black-armored general brandished his bronze axe, and a large number of cavalrymen behind him charged. However, the movements of these cavalrymen were obviously not natural enough, and they could not exert the combat power of standard cavalrymen at all.

这 是
Ye Mingqiu quickly came up with the answer: the Shang Dynasty did not have saddles, stirrups, or high-bridled bits. Riders could only rely on their legs to grip the horse's belly, making it difficult to stably control weapons while moving at high speeds.

These cavalrymen were already at their limit in terms of the strength to maintain their balance on horseback and use their weapons to attack; it was almost impossible for them to unleash their fists and feet completely freely.

That's it
Ye Mingqiu felt a little more at ease. If it was this kind of cavalry, then it wasn't impossible to fight them.

but!

Such cavalry is still very dangerous!

Thunderous war drums resounded as a large number of cavalry charged forward with unparalleled momentum, brandishing long weapons and launching an attack on Ye Mingqiu from their high vantage point.

The clanging of bronze weapons rang out continuously. Despite Ye Mingqiu's best efforts to dodge, he was still repeatedly struck by the spear, leaving numerous wounds on his body.

These cavalrymen can break through his defenses!

"kill!!"

Ye Mingqiu roared, steadied his stance, and forcefully withstood the heavy blow. The bronze spear, enhanced by [Psionic Enchantment], soared into the air, its tip pointing upwards, piercing through the chest of a cavalryman and throwing him to the ground. He then slapped the horse's rump hard.

The stray warhorses neighed in pain and, without any control, ran wildly, disrupting the previously orderly formation.

The cavalry of that era was utterly ineffective, relying solely on the speed and strength of their horses to fight, lacking a mature combat system.

"You scoundrel, prepare to die!!"

The black-armored general spurred his horse, and the jet-black warhorse charged forward, rearing up in front of Ye Mingqiu. The horse's hooves slammed down, and along with them came the crescent-shaped arc of light drawn by the bronze axe.
