28: Chapter 28 First Battle! Lucky Star Orb!

He immediately pulled up the attribute panel of one of the Goblin Tyrants.

[Race]: Goblin Tyrant

[Talent]: Four-Star

[Level]: Level 1

[Equipment]: Silver Heavy Armor Set (All Attributes +200, Physical Defense +30%)

[Constitution]: 1400 (+200)

[Strength]: 2200 (+200)

[Intelligence]: 700 (+200)

[Speed]: 1900 (+200)

[Overall Combat Power]: 15000 → 18500

"Holy crap, the combat power went up by 3,500 directly!"

Fang Chuan was overjoyed. These were just the Level 1 stats; as the level increased, the boost from the equipment would only become more significant. The most crucial part was the 30% physical defense bonus, which made the already highly tanky Goblin Tyrants even more indestructible!

Just then, Yi also began organizing the ranged corps to change their equipment.

More than fifty Goblin Arrow Kings and over four hundred three-star Eagle-Eyed Archers stepped forward in turn to receive the Silver Ranger Set.

They put on the well-fitted silver leather armor, donned hoods that covered half their faces, and equipped brand-new silver longbows on their backs.

The aura of the entire corps instantly became sharp and mysterious, as if they were a group of hunters walking in the shadows.

Fang Chuan also checked Momi's attributes.

[Race]: Goblin Arrow King (Momi)

[Talent]: Four-Star

[Level]: Level 1

[Equipment]: Silver Ranger Set (All Attributes +200, Attack Speed +20%)

[Constitution]: 4000 (+200)

[Strength]: 6400 (+200)

[Intelligence]: 8000 (+200)

[Speed]: 10000 (+200)

[Overall Combat Power]: 75000 → 78000

"Don't look at the fact that the panel combat power only increased by 3,000; this 20% attack speed bonus is the real killer!"

Fang Chuan's eyes burned with intensity.

For an archer like Momi who relies on output frequency, attack speed is a divine weapon!

Combined with the 50% attack speed bonus from Yi's "Arrow Domain," the output capability of these ranged archers was simply going to break through the sky!

"My God, all core corps have finished changing equipment!"

Fara and Yi came before the main hall, knelt on one knee again, their voices filled with irrepressible excitement.

"Very good."

Fang Chuan's voice rang in their minds, carrying a hint of satisfied laughter.

"Fara, I command you to immediately form an Expeditionary Army!"

"From the five great cities of Baize City, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, draw two hundred Goblin Tyrants, one hundred Sharpshooters, and ten Goblin Arrow Kings from each!"

"Led by you and Yi personally, sweep through all unpurified areas within the Divine Kingdom, and wipe out all beasts and natives who dare to resist!"

Fang Chuan's voice was resonant and powerful, filled with unquestionable majesty.

After the Divine Kingdom expanded, although cities had been established in the Core Area, vast border regions still held many spatial rifts left over from when the Divine Kingdom shattered years ago.

From these rifts, fierce beasts from different dimensions would often run out and occupy the wilderness, posing a huge security risk.

In the past, Fang Chuan didn't have the ability to handle them, but now that he had upgraded his equipment, he naturally wanted to clear all these "wild monsters," train his troops, and harvest a wave of rewards using the Fortune Synergy!

"As you command, my God!"

Fara and Yi accepted the order in unison, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Soon, as Fara's order was passed down, all five cities went into action.

Squads of fully armed Goblin Tyrants and Sharpshooter corps set out from their respective barracks, moving along wide roads to converge on the central Baize City.

Fang Chuan's consciousness pulled up to ten thousand meters, overlooking this spectacular scene.

Five torrents of steel composed of silver armor converged from five directions toward the center.

Finally, on the huge plain outside Baize City, a massive army composed of one thousand Goblin Tyrants, fifty Goblin Arrow Kings, and five hundred Sharpshooters had officially assembled!

At the front of the army, the hundred-meter-tall golden giant Fara, holding a giant axe, looked like an undefeated god of war.

Beside him stood the Arrow King Yi, clad in gorgeous armor with light wings slowly flapping on his back; he just hovered there quietly, as if he were the soul of the entire army.

"Expeditionary Army, move out!"

Fara raised his giant axe and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Roar!!"

More than 1,500 elite believers roared in unison, their voices converging into a terrifying wave of sound that shot straight into the clouds!

The next second, the massive army formation began to move slowly, marching grandly toward the endless wilderness in the east of the Divine Kingdom.

The scene made Fang Chuan's blood boil.

——

After being expanded by two medium-sized expansion cards, the area of Fang Chuan's Divine Kingdom had reached over 20 million square kilometers.

Even though he had planned the pentagram city cluster, he had only developed a small area in the core. Outside the cities lay the vast, boundless wilderness.

At this moment, the Expeditionary Army led by Fara and Yi stepped onto this land full of unknowns and dangers.

The army marched for about half a day before a dark, oppressive forest appeared ahead.

The trees in this forest all appeared a strange, scorched black; the trunks were twisted, and the branches were clawing, as if they were struggling ghost shadows, exuding an ominous aura.

"Halt!"

Fara, walking at the very front, raised his hand, and the massive army formation instantly obeyed the command.

"Momi, take some men to scout!" Yi's cold voice rang out.

"Yes, Lord Yi!"

Goblin Arrow King Momi immediately accepted the order and, with a dozen Eagle-Eyed Archers who were also equipped with the Silver Ranger Set, moved like a ghost, silently blending into the forest ahead.

Fang Chuan's god's-eye view followed them the whole time.

He saw that after Momi and the others entered the forest, their movements were extremely agile, weaving and leaping between the twisted trunks without making a single sound.

Soon, deep in the forest, they discovered a group of monsters gnawing on the corpse of some animal.

Those monsters looked like wolves, but were much larger, covered in black scales, with foul-smelling saliva dripping from their mouths, and their scarlet eyes filled with violence.

Fang Chuan used his consciousness to click on one of them.

[Race]: Black-Scaled Demon Wolf

[Bloodline Rank]: Black Iron Rank

[Level]: Level 8

[Constitution]: 40

[Strength]: 78

[Intelligence]: 34

[Speed]: 66

[Overall Combat Power]: 333

"So they are Black Iron Rank monsters, Level 8, combat power over 300; no wonder they are so arrogant." Fang Chuan understood.

Soon, Momi returned with the reconnaissance team and reported the situation to Fara and Yi.

"A bunch of Black Iron Rank scum, about three hundred in number." There was a hint of disdain in Momi's voice.

Fara nodded and waved his huge hand forward.

"All troops, advance! Crush them!"

"Roar!"

One thousand Goblin Tyrants roared in unison, raising the silver giant axes in their hands, forming an impassable wall of steel, and directly crushed toward the Black Forest.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy footsteps were like war drums, and the earth trembled.

The group of Black-Scaled Demon Wolves in the forest obviously sensed the danger; they stopped eating, raised their heads one after another, and let out threatening low growls from their throats.

When they saw the silver army surging toward them like a landslide or tsunami, these ferocious demon wolves showed fear in their eyes for the first time.

But their bestial nature did not let them retreat.

"Awoooo!"

Accompanied by a long howl from the alpha wolf, more than three hundred Black-Scaled Demon Wolves charged fearlessly, turning into streaks of black afterimages as they slammed into the Goblin Tyrant phalanx.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The next second, a dense sound of metal clashing rang out.

The demon wolves' sharp claws and teeth scratched and bit fiercely at the Tyrants' silver heavy armor, but could only create strings of dazzling sparks, unable to even leave a decent scratch.

"Roar!"

A Goblin Tyrant was pounced on by a few demon wolves; it let out an impatient roar, swung its huge arm violently, and threw the few demon wolves away like trash.

Immediately after, the silver giant axe in its hand traced a cold arc.

"Puchi!"

A large wolf head soared into the sky, and hot blood sprayed out.

This was equipment suppression!

The sharp fangs that the demon wolves were so proud of bit fiercely into the silver heavy armor, only to hear a few crisp "crack" sounds; broken fangs flew everywhere, and the demon wolves let out shrill wails in pain.

In front of the Goblin Tyrants, they were as fragile as grass.

The Tyrants turned into ruthless steel meat grinders, their heavy silver giant axes weaving into a forest of death; wherever they passed, flesh and blood flew, and bones broke and tendons snapped!

The Goblin Tyrants didn't even use any combat skills; just simple slashes and smashes were enough to slaughter this group of Black-Scaled Demon Wolves into disarray.

At the rear of the army, Yi just watched quietly and did not let the archer corps take action.

In his view, this level of battle did not require his archers to waste arrows.

In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.

The corpses of more than three hundred Black-Scaled Demon Wolves covered the entire forest floor, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

And Fang Chuan's Expeditionary Army had zero casualties!

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

The moment the last demon wolf fell, a fist-sized orb emitting a soft blue light appeared out of thin air on the pile of corpses in the center of the battlefield.

"Huh? What is this?"

Fang Chuan's consciousness instantly focused on it.

He saw the blue orb floating quietly in mid-air, emitting a strange energy fluctuation.

Before he could figure it out, a huge palm reached over, carefully held the orb, and brought it to his "face."

It was Fara.

"Great My God!" Fara's huge body knelt on one knee with a boom, his hands trembling as he held the blue-light-flowing orb high, "This is a miracle condensed after the heretics died; it must be the supreme divine grace you have bestowed! Please accept it, my God!"

Fang Chuan's heart stirred.

It was here! The effect of the Fortune Synergy!

He suppressed his excitement and used his consciousness to touch the blue orb.

[Ding! You have opened a fortune orb (blue) and obtained the following rewards:]

[Faith Points * 5000]

[Black Iron Rank Equipment Card * 3]

"Holy crap! It really was a fortune orb!"

Fang Chuan felt a surge of wild joy.

Although the rewards were not much—five thousand Faith Points and three junk equipment cards, which added up to less than one thousand Faith Points—it wasn't even a fraction of what he spent on equipment.

But this was just the beginning!

This was just fighting a group of Black Iron Rank trash, and a blue orb had already dropped.

If he fought higher-level monsters, wouldn't it drop purple orbs, or even golden orbs?

Thinking about the scene where piles of orbs fell from the sky after the battle, opening up all kinds of Faith Points, equipment, and believer cards, Fang Chuan's heart couldn't help but thump wildly.

He happily accepted the rewards and then gave Fara a new order.

"Well done, continue forward."

"As you command!"
