My stats are higher than yours!!

"Thule, are you out of your mind?"

Questions arose from the camp; the people couldn't understand why the old guard had become like this—it was too strange.

"Hey hey hey!"

"I understand now!"

Greytooth jumped out of the car. He had been lying in the car for a long time, and his hair was piled up like a messy bird's nest, but his eyes were incredibly bright.

He raised his fist and said, "What's the use of thinking so much! Let's just get the hell out of there! Hahahaha! Our commander is so capable, he says we're elite, so we are elite! Maybe we just haven't reached our full potential yet?"

The appearance of Greyfang changed the atmosphere. Immediately afterward, another guard laughed and said, "Good, good, good! Elite! I'm elite too! Let's go for it! Grey Rock Rangers are nothing, I'll kill ten or eight of them tomorrow! Hahahaha!"

"That's right! Grandpa is the strongest! Hahahaha!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The atmosphere around the campfire became lively. Some people were laughing, some were slapping their thighs, and some were drawing their knives and brandishing them. The cold blades, reflecting the firelight, even revealed a ferocious sharpness.

[Hint: Morale increased]

Morale: 90

Your team's morale is soaring, and their fighting spirit is at its peak. They can unleash even greater strength in battle than before, and there is a small chance of a "template promotion" occurring.

Bai Shuodong closed the spirit realm notification as soon as he saw it was a morale boost, without even looking at it. Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't add any stats, so he didn't care much. Opening the bronze treasure chest was more important to him.

He not only wanted to drive, but he also wanted to drive alone, without anyone disturbing him.

Hmph!

'That group of people is finally gone!'

'Don't loiter around me. What if you guys interfere with my plans?'

Bai Shuodong stared at the treasure chest in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, his breathing becoming rapid.

open!

Congratulations on obtaining: The Wolf Banner!

【Blue Wolf Battle Flag】

Level: first level

Quality: Bronze

Type: Special Weapon

Attack power: 5-7

Durability: 70/70

Effect: Planting the battle flag in the ground or holding it in your hand increases the attack speed and movement speed of all friendly units within 100 meters by 10%, and greatly increases their morale.

"hiss..."

Bai Shuodong's eyes lit up. This thing was pretty good; it could improve collective attributes.

Unfortunately, his team members are all useless, so hanging the flag probably won't do them much good, which is a real shame.

No big problem

Although the effect is poor when given to them, I can take out the equipment and use it in team battles later. I don't believe that all my teammates are useless. As long as I plant the flag on the ground, the whole team will be unconditionally boosted, which is the best thing ever.

very good!

It's a good thing!

Bai Shuodong put the flag away, then took out goat milk from his storage space, took a sip from the bucket, smacked his lips, and muttered to himself, "This tastes pretty good, the quality is quite good. Although it's not very useful, it's still palatable and acceptable."

"At worst, I'll just kill more enemies and get more treasure chests, then I'll have some good stuff."

"It's not a big problem."

The cold night wind swept through the woods, tilting the campfire and sending sparks flying into the sky, witnessing the guards' laughter and the team's transformation.

The night passed quickly.

Before dawn, Bai Shuodong opened his eyes.

He didn't sleep at all; he was just resting under the tree, pretending to doze off. Not sleeping didn't affect him much.

Mental fatigue can also be adapted to through adaptive evolution, but the improvement in adaptation is relatively small and the recovery speed is not fast.

But that's enough. The boost from dozing and short-term adaptation is enough to keep his mental state at a relatively healthy level, without affecting his combat readiness.

Bai Shuodong stood up, brushed the dew off his shoulder armor, looked at the guards around him, and said, "Get up!"

In an instant, the guards quickly regained their senses and returned to their normal state as fast as possible, while checking their equipment. Their actions were highly efficient and without any unnecessary chatter.

What's going on with these people?

Bai Shuodong felt a little confused. He felt that this group of guards seemed a little different. The feeling they gave him had changed, but he couldn't quite figure out exactly what had changed. After all, he wasn't a genius in strategy; he was only good at fighting one-on-one.

Overall, the group seemed to be changing for the better, with everyone wearing a bright smile and sparkling eyes.

He just looks a bit brainless.

"Check the food again."

Bai Shuodong's gaze was serious and earnest as he said, "We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Yes!"

There was no unnecessary nonsense.

"..."

Bai Shuodong fell silent for a moment. He felt that this group of people seemed to have become quite elite. He didn't know how they had changed, but it was good that they had changed for the better.

Soon after, the situation was confirmed to be correct.

After listening to the scouts ahead report the details, Bai Shuodong, having confirmed that there were no obstacles or ambushes ahead, turned to the guards behind him and said, "Let's go!"

The convoy started moving.

The wheels crunched over the fallen 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 line of gray and white appeared on the horizon.

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

"It's coming."

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

Soon, the plains stretched out before them, and in the boundless wilderness, several dark shadows moved slowly, growing closer and larger.

They are rangers!

These guys went straight to the plains last night!

"Fight! Awesome!"

Bai Shuodong gripped the iron spear tightly, its tip hanging at his side, drawing a deep line across 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, he suddenly heard footsteps 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 look he had imagined, but a pair of bright eyes, eyes burning with fighting spirit. They were carrying weapons and all smiling.

Damn it!

What are these idiots doing?!

Bai Shuodong laughed too, 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 couldn't steal his kills anyway.

Immediately, he shouted:

"The elite of the Azure Wolf Tribe!"

"exist!"

A bloody roar erupted.

"Line up!"

Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded in an orderly fashion, and Bai Shuodong took out the Azure Wolf Battle Flag, a wild smile on his face, and led his men 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 bows low.

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

"Boom!!"

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

A sense of crisis!

An incredibly strong sense of crisis!

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

Pressure! So much pressure! With so much pressure, I'm sure I can give it my all!

"Show weapons!"

Bai Shuodong's roar tore through the morning breeze, his eyes flashing with unbelievable brilliance.

"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 Azure Wolf Battle Flag in the ground.

"boom!"

The flagpole sank three-tenths of an inch into the ground, and the azure flag unfurled gracefully in the wind, rustling softly. The huge wolf head pattern danced in the wind, as if it had come to life.

[The Wolf Banner effect is now activated: Allied units within 100 meters gain +10% attack speed and +10% movement speed, and their morale is greatly increased.]

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 passive effect [Exhilaration State]]

[Excited state]

Effect ①: Significantly increases pain tolerance, mental resistance, willpower, and soul strength.

Effect 2: All attributes increased by 30%, stamina consumption speed increased by 50%.

Brief introduction: 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 that he was incredibly strong at the moment, as if he was about to ignite.

Not only him, but everyone in the team could feel that feeling at this moment. The fullness of power flowed in their blood, and the power hidden deep in their bodies was developed. It was the hidden power brought out by the ultimate mental will.

Graytooth's lips curled up, his hand gripping the knife trembled, and he muttered to himself, "Ah, I feel like I've really become a sharpshooter! 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 cavalrymen ahead.

The morning breeze howled, making his cloak rustle, making him look like a spiritual banner standing tall on the front lines of the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."
