"Young comrade, that's a term of address for a fellow soldier. How does it feel to be addressed like that by someone strong?"

Tens of thousands of sows scoffed, neither denying nor refuting.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. Among the five-nation alliance, the Japanese were the most despicable. And as far as he knew, there were two powerful assassins in the two guilds of that country who loved to ambush people.

Jiang Hao, relying on his high health, wasn't afraid of them, but if he didn't eliminate them in time, many of his helper players would probably be killed.

"Help me find the location of the Poison Blade."

"Yes, young comrade." The response came from the thousands of sows below him, clearly indicating that he was very relaxed.

Jiang Hao thought it must be because the battlefield situation was so favorable.

Jiang Hao stood on the thatched hut, constantly waving his staff to clear out the monsters besieging Dingbei City while waiting for news from the tens of thousands of sows. After waiting for a while, having already cleared two waves of monsters, he still hadn't heard a sound from the tens of thousands of sows.

As Jiang Hao looked around in confusion, he suddenly saw three daggers flash past his lower right eye and plunge into his back chest.

A tingling sensation came from his back. The reason he didn't feel pain wasn't because Jiang Hao had high attributes or was only lightly injured. It was because, to protect players, the Spirit Ruins hadn't yet granted them the ability to feel pain.

With three daggers piercing his back at once, Jiang Hao instantly lost over 10,000 health points. However, due to his high defense and high health, this 10,000 damage had virtually no impact on his health bar.

The owners of the three daggers clearly hadn't expected their joint assassination attempt to be so unsuccessful. A look of terror instantly appeared on their faces.

Jiang Hao recognized all three foreign players. Standing in the middle was Blood Shadow, the guild master of the Blood Letter Monastery from the Kingdom of John. On either side of him were Japanese players. On his left was the assassin he was looking for, Poison Blade, and on his right was the assassin he was looking for, Shadow Blade.

Jiang Hao could easily guess that if the tens of thousands of sows hadn't responded to him for so long, they must have been assassinated.

He wasn't far from the tens of thousands of sows, so why didn't Jiang Hao hear any noise? It has to be said, these three assassins were quite skilled at assassination.

However, targeting Jiang Hao for assassination was somewhat disrespectful to his abilities. Especially Shadow Blade, who had already ambushed Jiang Hao multiple times; did he really think that bringing in two helpers this time would guarantee his safety?

I want to laugh!

It's not that Shadowblade and the other two are stupid. Blame it on the awful mechanics of Spirit Ruins.

On the battlefield, their level was more than ten levels lower than the Lord of Hell, so they could not see Jiang Hao's attributes.

Since leaving the battlefield, all three of them had been working hard to level up. They finally managed to level up from level 18 to level 21, thinking they were qualified to fight the Lord of Hell. But Jiang Hao had already leveled up to level 32!

Still unable to view the attributes of the Lord of Hell!

They thought that the summoner was a weakling who relied mainly on summoned creatures in battle.

Even though the Lord of Hell is incredibly powerful, with the ability to pull monsters from a distance, and even though his attack power is high enough to instantly kill any player or even a monster.

Does that mean his defense is also high?

Does that mean he has a high amount of health?

You should know that last time on the battlefield of slaughter, Shadowblade ambushed the Lord of Hell by himself and was able to take away a third of his health!

This time, you brought two assassin teammates of the same quality, with high burst skills and talents. Is it too much to try to kill the Lord of Hell?

That's not an exaggeration at all!

That's perfectly reasonable!

But in Jiang Hao's eyes, these three assassins were complete idiots. He was just looking for them when these three morons showed up together.

The scene became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Jiang Hao raised his staff in his right hand, and the three assassins instantly realized something was wrong. Shadow Blade flickered, his figure fading as he was about to disappear again, Blood Shadow instantly teleported back more than ten meters, and Poison Blade, lacking an escape skill, flipped to the left, about to jump off the thatched hut.

The three players' reactions and on-the-spot adaptability were top-notch among players, but with Jiang Hao's agility value of over 1 million, their movements were slower than snails.

Jiang Hao struck down with his staff three times in succession, and Shadow Blade's body solidified again. The body that had retreated with Blood Shadow Flash flashed forward again. The most comical was Poison Blade, who had already jumped off the thatched hut. He was still in the same position as when he jumped off the thatched hut, his head appearing under Jiang Hao's staff, but his toes were tilted to the upper right.

The health bars above the three poor creatures were instantly emptied, and with a flash of white light, their bodies disappeared into the wind and snow.

On the battlefield, among the five allied forces, there were few who could pose a threat to Jiang Hao, not to mention that Jiang Hao's attributes had been greatly improved at this time.

Jiang Hao's concern was simply that they might pose a threat to the Ice and Snow World and the other players who came to help. However, seeing the grayish-brown health bars of the tens of thousands of sows among his teammates, he knew that the guy was dead and probably somewhere respawning, making his location function unusable.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about anything else and focused solely on clearing out the monsters besieging Dingbei City. After clearing out the level 59 Dark Gold Magic Boars, level 60 Dark Gold Skeleton Slayers appeared. Jiang Hao waved his staff repeatedly, and when the last Skeleton Slayer flashed with white light and disappeared, not a single monster appeared around Dingbei City.

"Realm Announcement: The level 6 main city of Dingbei has been successfully defended. All players and factions who arrived via the teleportation array will be teleported back to their respective main cities in one minute. Please be prepared."

From the start of the siege battle, when players were teleported there, to the end of the battle, the entire process took no more than half an hour. The promised 12-hour siege battle has now become a joke.

Actually, you can't blame the system. It's just that Jiang Hao's monster-killing speed was too fast.

When other major cities were being built, the city lords wanted to gather every single power that was friendly with them. Even so, defending the city was still incredibly difficult.

Their defense of the city was simply to slow down the monster-killing speed as much as possible, thus wasting time. Once 24 hours were up, the defense would be considered a success.

But what about Jiang Hao?

As a single individual, from level one to level five, Jiang Hao would kill monsters as quickly as possible whenever they appeared. Even during the siege of a level six main city, despite numerous disturbances, he still killed monsters at his maximum speed.

Of all the main cities in the entire Lingxu, Jiang Hao's is the first to defend it in this way.

Almost all the players who chose to attack the city felt cheated, but their complaints couldn't reach Jiang Hao in the snowstorm.

Those players who chose to defend the city breathed a sigh of relief.

Amidst the wind and snow, a system notification sound, directed only at Jiang Hao, rang in his ears.
