Soon, they were eroded by the earth's energy and became puppets of the Lonely Mountain.
Their eyes were filled with fervor and fighting spirit, but their combat strength was generally low, and they were driven out by Xiao Han.
He was all alone on the lonely mountain.
The First and Ninth Legions, along with the resistance forces that hitched a ride along the way, were carried by the Colossus.
Behind him stood a metal legion ready to be airdropped at any moment to deal with any emergencies.
"Without a gold-level rank, it is almost impossible to defeat a superhuman."
"Stepping onto the golden path and being infused with extraordinary power is itself a transcendence of the level limit, a racial sublimation, and a liberation from the constraints of common sense."
"In particular, the golden magic energy can exert several times the effect of the silver magic energy. If the golden magic energy is used to activate Lonely Mountain, it can combine offense and defense and is completely fearless against superhumans."
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing.
Currently, he has broken the human limit nine times. In terms of the Demon King's potential, he can be considered the number one combat power below the Gold Saint in the North.
The characteristic of a Golden Seed (half-step to the Golden level) is that it can draw upon extraordinary power at any time to forcefully break through.
If one successfully overcomes this obstacle, one becomes a pseudo-gold and begins to possess the magic of gold.
The price to pay is that without rare and precious materials, one's life will be stuck at this point, with no hope of advancement.
Furthermore, the most crucial Golden Path never awakens; essentially, it's just a Silver Dog with attributes multiplied several times over.
"Sequence Tree".
Having figured out the key point, Xiao Han murmured to himself and pondered for a moment.
To break free from constraints and advance to the Gold rank, one needs a Sequence Tree to transform into a stronger professional.
However, the Tree of Order is extremely rare. Bishop Nord had planned for so many years and only managed to acquire one, which was a gift from a demon god who secretly crossed the boundary.
Moreover, the attributes of the sequence tree must conform to its own actual situation.
Of course, if there is a sacred tree with life potential, it can break through the level cap and directly enter the gold tier, which means it will 100% enter the pseudo-gold level.
Without a Sequence Tree, in order to improve his combat power, he could only focus his attention on Lonely Mountain, Colossus, and Rare Treasures.
He had this idea on his way to attack the Duchy of Vayne.
"Wait a minute... I think I've fallen into a trap."
Suddenly, Xiao Han took a sip of lemon juice. The juice, which Anna had personally frozen, was icy, sour, and numbing, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
A thunder-path earthworm emerged from his palm, slowly crawling through the void like a caterpillar.
No one could have imagined that the first strike of the sword-drawing technique, combined with the damage boost from the sword's momentum, would unleash 300% more destructive power with the help of this earthworm.
If you unleash [Multiple Slashes], you'll get an additional 50% damage on top of the base damage, resulting in a burst output of 450%, equivalent to a casual strike from a superhuman.
This is also why the enemy soldiers who were at the half-step gold level were quickly killed.
The rare item has such a powerful auxiliary effect that it can almost transform a secret technique.
For example, 【Sprinkle Money to Form Soldiers】 + Lonely Mountain == Undead Legion.
Of course, the combination must be good first; otherwise, a bad situation may occur, triggering a backlash from the secret technique.
"I have created a combat system with skills as the core and rare items as auxiliary, covering aspects such as offense, defense, movement, healing, and reconnaissance."
"For example, it's possible to double the attack speed by combining Thunder Earthworm with [Piercing Flame]."
"If we cooperate well and gain experience, I can also use Lonely Mountain to create a secret killing technique."
Xiao Han's eyes lit up, as if a new door had been opened.
...
The expeditionary force was highly efficient, but halfway through the magic circle, news arrived again that Ulan City had fallen.
Immediately, the morale of the punitive expeditionary force faltered, but they increased their speed again.
Duke Vayne remained skeptical.
However, the rebels plundered several cities along the way, especially Ulan City, an important source of materials for refining monster cannons. All the resources were looted, and they couldn't find a single piece of iron ore even after digging 500 meters underground.
Therefore, he could not swallow his anger and this time he dispatched more troops, displaying extremely sharp offensive power.
If it weren't for the limitations of the resurrection spell and the fact that some problems hadn't been exposed, he would have already transformed into lightning and blasted the Colossus into a pile of scrap metal with a single lightning spell.
"Black Iron City, Rock Fortress, Ulan City... Look, everyone, the route of the Colossus has been marked. I'm afraid their next target is the Gate of Worth!"
"Ah, isn't this the strategic area known as the 'lungs of the principality'?"
"There are Purple Dust Ink and Star Magnetic Crystals cultivated by the Duchy there, as well as a Thunder Pattern Refined Mine that is currently undergoing recuperation. With such abundant resources, the other side will definitely head there."
"Go and provide support! The Knights have all gone to the Chaotic Lands. The defenses of the Gate of Worth are not strong; at least, they can't withstand the attack of the Titans!"
"But that's a vital area of the duchy. They've deployed various magical measures that can hold out for a long time. We need to get there quickly!"
After confirming the intelligence, the expeditionary force rushed to the Gate of Wols without stopping, only to find that the magical traps outside had been triggered. From the depths of the mountains, which were filled with magnets and floating lightning, rumbling thunder could be heard, as if the Titans were still plundering resources within.
The Gate of Wols was originally an alternate-dimensional battlefield, but it was extracted, controlled, and refined by the extraordinary individuals of the Duchy of Vayne throughout the ages, eventually becoming a resource-producing area for the Duchy of Vayne.
"Hahaha, we finally caught them!"
"I'll go first. They'll have to pay the price for angering the duchy!"
"Kill them!"
The punitive expeditionary force, filled with pent-up anger, charged forward with great force.
