What happened next within the instance dungeon proved that Yang Rui's decision was correct. After clearing the fifth segment of the instance dungeon with the terracotta soldiers, Yang Rui received a system prompt, indicating that the quest was only at the beginning.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for completing the first segment of the (True Expedition) segment. You will receive 1 reputation point as a reward. The soldiers you obtain in the process will assist you in completing the remaining segments of the trial. At the same time, you will receive 3 hours of accumulated time … …"
Yang Rui had spent 3 hours defending against the first wave of attacks. He originally thought that the fifth segment of the dungeon would be over. However, this was only the first segment of the trial. From this, one could infer that the (True Expedition) segment of the dungeon wouldn't be simple.
Yang Rui's original intention was to clear the dungeon, he didn't care if the segment was long or not. At the same time, he could receive reputation points as a reward and free soldiers. Therefore, Yang Rui didn't feel that it was a big deal.
The only unfortunate thing was that the terracotta soldiers in this instance dungeon did not drop anything. Yang Rui had been fighting for 6 hours in the fifth stage of this instance dungeon, but he had yet to obtain a single drop item. Even the previous batch of terracotta soldiers from the Qin army did not drop anything.
"System notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, 10,000 terracotta soldiers of the Qin army are holding 10,000 civilians hostage 3 miles away. The (True Expedition) segment's second segment of the trial has begun. Your remaining trial time is 3 hours, 3 quarters, 2 hours and 6 minutes … …"
Following closely, another system notification came, prompting Yang Rui to proceed to the second segment of the trial. It also gave him the remaining time. The remaining time after the 3 hours was the remaining time for Yang Rui to complete the previous segment of the trial.
The time limit of the dungeon segment was calculated cumulatively. Yang Rui also realized that the later segments would consume a lot of time. Therefore, after receiving the system notification, he didn't delay and gathered his troops. Following the system notification, he proceeded to challenge the Qin army.
After completing the first round of the trial, the system once again gave him a chance to open the sky city. Moreover, this time, the number of troops released was limited to 1. It should be for the participants of the dungeon to prepare for the later stages.
After some consideration, Yang Rui released a Fifth Grade Formation Breaker soldier from the Castle in the Sky. Yang Rui had already released a Fifth Grade Silvertusk Crossbowman from the Castle in the Sky during the previous wave.
Yang Rui had equipped the six or so civilian NPCs that had been converted into soldiers with hunting bows. At this time, Yang Rui did not change their equipment. However, they had lost the geographical advantage of the checkpoint. In a real head-on clash, they still needed close combat soldiers to hold the line.
At the same time as releasing the soldiers of the Formation Breaker, Yang Rui also equipped the last batch of new soldiers, but Sky City still couldn't be used as a means of transportation. They were unable to gather Yang Rui's troops.
Fortunately, the 3 miles of distance was quickly covered in the game. Yang Rui led the remaining soldiers and arrived at the Qin army's frontline battlefield in just 15 minutes.
Looking over, the Qin terracotta soldiers in front of them were in formation, orderly and orderly. Not only were their numbers slightly more than Yang Rui's, their military formation was also very impressive.
In front of the Qin army formation, a large flag fluttered, with a large 'Li' character written on it. In the center of the formation, there was a general standing alone. This was the general of this Qin army.
Under the leadership of Cheng Yu, Yang Rui's troops quickly got into formation. One Formation Breaker soldier was at the front, the other was a silver crossbowman soldier at the back. The new soldiers were at the back of the formation from the two sides. Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun and Yu Jin stood at the front of the formation, ready to charge and kill at any moment.
Yang Rui's side had just gotten into formation, and before he could do anything else, the terracotta general under the 'Li' character flag had already charged over, not giving Yang Rui much time to prepare.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"… …"
Following Yang Rui's order, Gao Shun and Yu Jin led the 1 Formation Breaker soldier, as well as Yang Rui himself, charging forward. Cheng Yu, on the other hand, led the remaining soldiers to slowly press forward from behind.
"Ka ka ka … …"
"Kill!"
"… …"
On the side of the Qin terracotta soldiers, there were no other sounds other than the striking of their joints. On the other hand, Yang Rui's soldiers let out shocking battle cries. Two completely different styles, yet each of them carried a supreme aura. Very quickly, they clashed together.
"Kill!"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh … …"
"… …"
Right after the two armies clashed, the silver-painted crossbowmen and soldiers behind Yang Rui, as well as the over sixty thousand 'hunting bows' that he had just acquired, began to pour out their arrows as well. Like a heavy rain, they drew out parabolas as they flew towards the enemy formation, taking the lead in toppling wave after wave of Qin terracotta soldiers as if they were harvesting leeks.
The strength of the Qin terracotta soldiers was still at the fifth grade. Although Yang Rui's troops did not have the advantage in terms of numbers, their long range force was sufficient. However, their advantage was that they had sufficient long range firepower. Especially the might of one silver-coated crossbowman, they were able to suppress the long range firepower of the Qin terracotta soldiers.
At the very front, although the number of soldiers of the [Capture Barracks] was relatively less, but as a special soldier class exclusive to Gao Shun, with the coordination of Gao Shun himself, the support of Cheng Yu and Yu Jin, as well as the [Life and Death] attribute that the soldiers of the [Capture Barracks] possessed, although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and faced a great deal of pressure, they were still able to forcefully resist.
As the long range soldiers at the back continued to exert their strength, the Formation Breaker soldiers continued to hold on under the leadership of Gao Shun and Yu Jin.
Only the terracotta soldier that posed a threat to the Formation Breaker soldiers was targeted by Yang Rui the moment he came forward. He pounced forward and engaged in a one on one battle.
The moment they engaged, Yang Rui roughly understood the strength of his opponent. It was even a level higher than Yang Rui! It was at least the peak strength of a second grade historical general, and very possibly the strength of a first grade historical general!
With Yang Rui's level of a second grade historical general, in addition to the uniqueness of the [Soaring Dragon Heart Sutra], after exchanging 4 to 5 blows, Yang Rui was beaten to the point where he could only parry and did not have the strength to retaliate.
"Huo!"
Although he was being suppressed, Yang Rui was not in a rush. From the start, Yang Rui had already clearly understood the situation. He had complete confidence in the soldiers of the [Capture Barracks]. He directly pulled the terracotta soldiers to the edge of the main battlefield.
At this moment, the terracotta soldiers did not disappoint, forcefully withstanding the charge of the Qin army and quickly reversing the situation. Thus, Yang Rui only needed to delay the terracotta soldier, making it unable to take care of the terracotta soldiers.
