The entire field of vision seemed to turn crimson.

……

Lu Liu stepped onto the majestic pass.

On both sides were elite soldiers lined up waiting. Based on his experience and vision, he could tell that most of these soldiers had reached the elite level and were well-deserved elite veterans.

Most soldiers wore silver armor or robes with a striking pure white sword symbol engraved on them.

In front of the middle city wall, there were three strong men wearing armor, who looked like generals.

Their armor also has a striking pure white sword logo.

But apart from these people, there are several powerful men in the distance whose styles are somewhat out of tune with the surrounding generals and soldiers.

There is a handsome elven ranger with a bow and arrow;

There are strong men like iron towers wearing door-plate swords and scarlet armor;

There is a human wizard holding a ruby ​​staff, whose robes are also light red;

There are warriors with naked upper bodies, scarlet lines streaking across their muscular bodies, and golden eyes;

Without relying on intuition, Lu Liu could tell that these four were all strong men just by their style and appearance, as well as the expensive equipment they were wearing.

His own painting style is actually out of tune with the surroundings.

After all, he was wearing black armor, carrying a huge shield, and standing among a group of soldiers in silver-white armor, naturally standing out from the crowd.

Lu Liu didn't say anything and just looked around.

"Ding!"

"Reminder: The Hero Trial 'Defense of Stone Mountain Fortress' has begun. Trialists will assist in the defense of the fortress as reinforcements and must hold out for at least ten days."

"Tip: Killing the enemy will earn you gold coins. Trialists can use the gold coins to replenish troops and supplies within the Stone Mountain Fortress."

"Reminder: During the trial, the trial-taker will have temporary heroic powers."

"Hint: There are 5 participants in this trial."

"Reminder: The Hero Trial has officially begun."

The stagnant time seemed to begin flowing from this moment on.

Lu Liu looked behind him.

He now possessed the power of a hero and understood that there was a close connection between him and the one hundred soldiers behind him.

He could command these soldiers as easily as if they were his own arms.

You can also open the panel and carefully check the information of the arms.

Lu Liu opened it and scanned it. There were 50 royal guards, 25 halberd guards and powerful archers inside, all of whom were at the early elite level.

He is usually the commander of the territory and is quite familiar with troops such as the Royal Guards and the Halberd Guards.

Not bad off to a good start.

He looked at the other trial participants. Like himself, they also started with a hundred soldiers, but the types of soldiers were slightly different.

There are wood elf archers, griffins, nuns, mages, and more.

Different corps are distinguished by their different uniforms and insignia.

"Thank you all for your assistance to the White Kingdom in this critical moment..."

The NPC character who is like the main general, like a guide, narrates the opening remarks.

Very mechanical.

But neither Lu Liu nor the other four trial-takers interrupted or said anything that was inappropriate for their current status.

The troops and generals in the Hero Trial are mostly rigid and will only execute orders mechanically. However, it is not ruled out that NPC generals will make other reactions based on the behavior of the trial-takers.

Some unwise trial-takers may fail because of this.

And here, perhaps because Lu Liu himself was at a high level, the few trial-takers he was 'matched' with were obviously not weak.

Judging from Mu Yuan's experience, they are all above level three.

After the commander finished explaining the situation, everyone was free to move.

This is roughly the amount of time given to the trial-takers for preliminary preparation.

Several trial participants looked at each other, walked down the city gate and came to a teahouse not far away.

The burly man, carrying a door panel and a sword on his back, couldn't help but speak, "You are all trial-takers, right? Will there be teammates in the Hero Trial?"

The mage took over and said, "My lord told me that some trials allow you to hire previous generations of trialists as teammates, such as the famous 'Dragon Slaying War'. However, those hired are merely projections left behind by previous generations of trialists... You are obviously not projections."

Elf Ranger: "Ah Ba Ah Ba..."

This child obviously has not awakened his self-awareness. He wants to speak but doesn't know how to say it, and he looks anxious and aggrieved.

Lu Liu said ambiguously, "I've heard about the Dragon Slaying War as well. It's said to be a very difficult trial."

At this time, the young warrior with half of his body bare, golden eyes, and suspected to have dragon blood spoke.

He raised his head slightly, with a faint smile of superiority on his lips:

"The dragon battle was difficult, but it's a thing of the past."

"Right now, the Dragon Slaying Battle is the easiest trial scenario to achieve a perfect rating, bar none, because..."

Seeing that several trial-takers were unable to conceal their curiosity, the Dragonborn no longer kept them in suspense. "Because in the Dragon Slaying War, there is a projection of a previous trial-taker with terrifying combat power. As long as we find this projection and hire her, it will be easy to kill the final boss."

Is there such a thing?

This dragonborn has an extraordinary origin.

The strong man, the wizard, and the elf were all surprised.

Lu Liu’s acting skills are limited but he is wrapped tightly in full body armor, so he doesn’t need any acting skills, just stare in amazement.

The smile on the Dragonborn's lips grew even brighter.

He continued, "We are not projections. We just encountered a very rare matching pattern... Although this situation is rare, there have been a few cases in history."

"Sometimes there are two or three people. The most we have ever had is eleven participants taking the trial in the same space."

"From the perspective of the trial mission, we are collaborators rather than competitors, which is quite fortunate."

"Of course, for us, passing the trials is never difficult. I pursue a perfect evaluation, and I imagine you also want to strive for a high-level evaluation."

He looked at the mage, the strong man and Lu Liu.

As for the Elf Ranger, a weakling who had not yet awakened his self-awareness, he just glanced at him and passed him by.

He wants to establish his own dominance.

He wasn't lying; the current trial was indeed a cooperative mode, not the more brutal hostile, hunting mode. However, there was also competition within the cooperative mode.

There are 5 trial participants, who can get a perfect evaluation?

Naturally, it is the one with the most outstanding performance, who is also the person responsible for leadership and command.

"And I come from the great territory of 'Fire Cloud City'..."

The dragonborn youth was like a thigh, and the burly man and the mage naturally moved closer together.

Lu Liu also showed that it was.

It's still early and the information is unclear.

He also followed the Lord's example and drew up several plans in his mind. As for which one to use, it would depend on the size of the enemy and subsequent intelligence updates.

They had not yet seen the enemy.

The Dragonborn youth suggested visiting Stone Mountain Fortress to gather intelligence, and several others agreed.

But just as he walked out of the teahouse, the urgent alarm sounded "Dangdangdang" suddenly, echoing over the fortress.

The enemy is coming.

The trial participants naturally couldn't wander around aimlessly, and they all climbed up to the city wall.

In the distance, beneath the red fog, smoke and dust swirled, and a vast army, stretching as far as the eye could see, appeared. A closer look revealed a highly disorganized army, with all sorts of troops within it. Or rather... it was like a wave of monsters from the real world, a black mass.

However, compared to the waves of monsters, the legions that appeared in the field of vision were more or less disciplined and wore various types of armor.

It seems that the main troops there are goblin-type troops.

Compared to the defenders of Stone Mountain Fortress, the siege corps is more like a ragtag army, but...

There are too many to count.

It is extremely visually impactful and oppressive.

A burly goblin general walked out.

He had a green face and fangs, looked ferocious and terrifying, was three or four meters tall, and held two huge copper hammers covered with spikes in his hands.

"I am the Goblin General. Who dares to fight me, weak human?"

According to the ideas of several trial participants, of course they should rely on the majestic city walls and the various city defense weapons on them to resist powerful enemies.

No matter how powerful the goblin general in front of him is, he dare not break through the pass alone.

However, the commander of the defending army seemed to be dissatisfied with the Goblin General's arrogance and spoke directly:

"Chen San, go meet this guy."

A general standing next to the commander immediately took the order and jumped down from the city wall which was more than 20 meters high.

Tens of seconds later,

This unremarkable third-level NPC general was killed by two hammer blows from the Goblin General.

The trial participants: "..."

Although this general is only at the third level, he lacks a strong aura and is clearly no match for the opponent.

Aren't you just giving it away?

However, the commander didn't seem to mind giving himself away. He just frowned and asked, "Who can defeat this enemy?"

The NPC general didn't speak, showing no fear.
