My stats are higher than yours!

The wheels crunched over the withered leaves and thin frost, making a "crunching" sound. As the convoy continued to move forward, the shadows of the dead trees in the forest gradually thinned out, and finally a sliver of gray appeared on the horizon.

The wind blew in from the plains, carrying a chill and an atmosphere of strife.

"It's coming."

Bai Shuodong's eyes flashed, his blood seemed to boil, and his fighting spirit was brewing.

Soon, the plains unfolded before them, and in the boundless wilderness, several dark figures moved slowly, growing closer and larger.

They're Rangers!

These guys went straight to the plains last night!

"Fight! It's awesome!"

Bai Shuodong gripped the iron spear tightly, the tip hanging at his side, drawing a shallow mark on the frozen ground.

He walked forward alone, tilting his head slightly upward.

Rangers?

Hmph! He's worth killing!

Just as he was preparing to face it alone, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and dozens of figures followed closely behind him.

Bai Shuodong turned his head, and what he met was not the tense and timid gaze he had imagined, but a pair of bright eyes, eyes burning with fighting spirit. They were carrying weapons and all smiling.

Oh shit!

What are these idiots doing?!

Bai Shuodong also laughed, but it was a laugh born of anger. However, he quickly realized that as long as he killed quickly enough, he wouldn't suffer too much loss and could even get some command points for free. After all, these guys weren't capable of stealing his kills anyway.

Then he shouted:

"The elite of the Azure Wolf Tribe!"

"exist!"

The crowd let out a thunderous roar.

"Line up!"

Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded in an orderly fashion, and Bai Shuodong took out the Azure Wolf Battle Banner, a wild smile on his face, and led a group of elites toward the rangers.

...

P.S.: I feel the title isn't good and doesn't quite match the content. I'm thinking of changing it. Do you guys have any ideas?

Chapter Seventy-Five: Bloodbath on the Plains, Slaying the Leader!

As dawn breaks, the frosty grass lies low.

The gray rock rangers emerged from the morning mist. The cavalry were divided into three groups, with the middle group charging at the forefront, and the other two spreading out like wings, gradually trailing behind.

"Boom!!"

The sound of dense hooves approached from afar, transforming from a faint, distant vibration into a clear, rhythmic "clatter!" as the cavalry drew nearer. Bai Shuodong felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.

A sense of crisis!

An overwhelming sense of crisis!

Bai Shuodong's intuition was frantically alarming him, but this alarming feeling did not frighten him. Instead, it made his blood boil and his fighting spirit surged. At this moment, his mental state was also elevated to the extreme.

Pressure! So much pressure! But even with this much pressure, I'm determined to give it my all!

"Show weapons!"

Bai Shuodong's roar tore through the morning breeze, his eyes shining with an unbelievable light.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

In an instant, a deafening battle cry erupted behind Bai Shuodong. The thirty-odd people shouted with the momentum of more than thirty thousand people! They brandished their weapons, their hearts filled with tension and fear, yet also with a strange excitement and frenzy.

Then, Bai Shuodong planted the Canglang battle flag in the ground.

"boom!"

The flagpole is three-tenths of an inch into the ground, and the azure flag stretches leisurely in the wind, fluttering and rustling. The huge wolf head pattern dances in the wind, as if it has come to life.

[The Wolf Banner effect is now activated: Allied units within 100 meters gain +10% attack speed, +10% movement speed, and a significant boost to morale.]

Morale: 100

The team's morale is at its peak, and the members possess an unbreakable belief. No matter the dire situation, their fighting spirit cannot be destroyed, and there is a small chance to trigger the [Template Promotion] effect during battle.

[Note: Your team's fighting spirit has reached its peak, and morale has reached 100, triggering the team's passive effect [Exhilarating State]]

Effect 2: Increases all attributes by 30% and increases stamina consumption speed by 50%.

Synopsis: When the body reaches its limit, willpower will lead you to break through the encirclement.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Bai Shuodong had no time to look at this thing. He only felt incredibly strong at this moment, as if he was about to burst into flames.

Not only him, but everyone in the team could feel that feeling at this moment. A sense of fullness of power flowed through their blood, and the power hidden deep in their bodies was being developed. It was a hidden power that was brought out through extreme mental will.

Gray Fang's lips curled into a smile, his hand gripping the knife trembled, and he muttered in a trembling voice, "Ah, I feel like I've really become an elite! My brain is trembling!"

The other team members were in a similar state; they felt incredibly high.

Bai Shuodong walked forward.

He stood alone, carrying an iron spear, facing countless rangers ahead.

The morning breeze howled, making his cloak flutter loudly, making him look like a spiritual banner standing tall at the front of the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

The battle cries rang out again. Morale had reached its peak, and the soldiers' will had undergone a qualitative change. They followed Bai Shuodong's footsteps forward, without the slightest fear in their eyes.

"I...I'm coming!!"

Bai Shuodong revealed a maniacal smile, leaned forward, and activated [Slow Burst].

"Bang!!"

With a loud rumble, the frozen soil cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures appeared on the ground. Bai Shuodong's body, like a bullet fired from a gun barrel, left a blurry afterimage in the air and crashed straight into the cavalry at the front.

"This guy... is he crazy!?"

The lead ranger's pupils constricted, and he was dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone charge at cavalry at such speed. After all, most people would try to avoid them; who would charge head-on into a group of rangers? Weren't they afraid of dying?

He instinctively raised his weapon, but the combination of the slow burst charge and the horse's charge made the two approach each other too fast. Before he could react, the spear tip was already in front of him.

"Sizzle!!"

The iron spear flashed with a cold light, instantly piercing the ranger's chest. The spear's momentum did not diminish, and it also tore a bloody wound in the neck of another horse behind him.

The warhorse roared and fell to the ground, throwing its rider off. The rider bounced twice on the ground before being knocked away by another warhorse. When he landed, his body was twisted horribly, and finally, the warhorse stomped on his head until it was crushed.

Bai Shuodong laughed loudly, his body dancing among the cavalry, wielding his spear to kill cavalry horses. Bathed in the blood of his enemies, his smile grew even wider.

"The situation has changed!"

"Switch formation and surround him!"

The charging rangers instantly changed formation, spreading out their flanks to encircle the center, but without getting close to Bai Shuodong. They simply dispersed to surround him, drawing their bows and shooting arrows from a distance.

These rangers weren't stupid. They had examined the bodies of the gray rock warriors and had also met up with the archers on the cliff. They knew that Bai Shuodong possessed mid-range slashing abilities.

As for why it's not a long distance?

If it were truly a long distance, then he wouldn't need to climb the cliff to use the slash.

They guessed the distance was about ten meters. They rode horses, maintained a safe distance to fire, and did not give the enemy a chance to get close. The crowd did not huddle together, so they could fight.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Arrows rained down.

[Lion's Eye - Locked In]

Bai Shuodong focused his mind. In the world of the Lion's Eye, everything was incredibly clear. He could see every single arrow, a result of his enhanced mental attributes.

He smiled, sidestepped, and moved through the rain of arrows like a fish gliding with the current, free and agile. Occasionally, he couldn't dodge them, and he would use his "Slash" to cut them down in mid-air, with wood chips and iron arrowheads clattering to the ground.

"Keep your distance! Shoot!"

One of the rangers gave a low shout, and the rangers who were relatively close to Bai Shuodong immediately took off, giving him no chance to get close at all. The cavalry in the distance continued to fire volleys, seemingly trying to wear him down here by using the mobility of the cavalry.

Do you think this will be useful?

Bai Shuodong smiled as he let an arrow hit him, then casually pulled it out.
