#179 - Let me have a meal first~
"Ding ~! Congratulations, Host, for continuously using the Sweeping Sword Style and consecutively achieving multiple one-hit kills. During this process, you have gained insights and independently comprehended the skill 'Sweep'."
Amidst the chaos and clamor, the system's prompt sounded like heavenly music in Liang Yue's mind.
However, he didn't have the leisure to divert his attention to check it at this moment.
Instead, he became even more ferocious, constantly moving within the chaotic ranks of the surrounding Orc army, sweeping, moving, sweeping, moving, sweeping…
From one end of the Orc army to the other, from ordinary shield-and-sword soldiers to mace-wielding Orcs, from densely packed spear formations to Warg riders!
Under this mechanical hacking and slashing mode, one Orc after another wailed and fell to the ground, their bodies separated in half, heads and tails parted.
After a while, once the blood had flowed out and the life force had dissipated, they turned into piles of corpses, congesting and accumulating on the once-empty Smaug's Desolation.
The thick stench of blood permeated the battlefield, but it seemed to further stimulate the ferocity of the Orcs, who lived up to their reputation as a fighting race.
Even knowing that charging forward would ultimately lead to death, they still showed no hesitation…
However, not all Orc warriors were as mindless as their brethren.
After realizing that their previous tactics of human waves, encirclement, and joint suppression were almost ineffective, some of the commanders who still possessed some archery skills, as well as the slightly more intelligent Orcs, began to change their thinking.
Some picked up bows and arrows to launch sneak attacks at Liang Yue in the encirclement, while others held up spears and javelins picked up from the ground and threw them at him from a distance!
Unfortunately, the results of their actions were still almost non-existent~!
Most of these ranged attacks undoubtedly missed due to Liang Yue's rapid movement and serpentine dodging.
Occasionally, a few arrows and javelins did hit him by chance.
But the armor forged from the forty-nine-grid toolbox that Liang Yue wore was not for show. Not only was its defense outstanding, but it also covered him from head to toe.
No matter which direction the ranged attack came from, when it hit his outer layer of pure iron armor, it would often rub against the diamond-shaped forged surface and refract in another direction at the first moment.
And there was a high probability that it would injure their teammates, while the impact on Liang Yue, the person they were actually targeting, was almost the same as being bitten by a mosquito!
Undoubtedly, a well-made armor set's role on the battlefield is unquestionable!
Liang Yue had once heard a rumor in his previous life~
That is, the role a warrior equipped with fine full body armor and a sharp weapon can play on the battlefield far exceeds ordinary people's imagination.
On the Western battlefields of the Cold Weapon era, the highest record of a single knight wearing full gear was almost single-handedly cutting down an entire wall of defending soldiers!
If ordinary people were already like this, let alone Liang Yue~
On the battlefield of cold weapons, weapons such as knives and swords, which primarily rely on sharpness for lethality, have very limited lethality when facing warriors wearing full metal armor.
Therefore, blunt weapons such as war hammers are, to some extent, the real mainstream when certain armies face off…
Unfortunately, no matter what kind of weapons the Orcs were holding at this time, they all seemed so powerless when facing Liang Yue.
Under the high-frequency swinging of the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword, which had a blade length of more than three meters, all enemies who tried to approach his surrounding area were undoubtedly shattered with one blow.
Therefore, no one could truly get close, let alone truly walk up to Liang Yue and engage in a close-range, equal battle!
Human strength has its limits~
This sentence is undoubtedly the root of the contradiction, and even Liang Yue is no exception.
Even after being fused with the rules of the MC world and obtaining the abilities of the MC game character, he would not run out of strength, nor would he have to worry about insufficient stamina.
However, after a high-intensity amount of exercise, Liang Yue still had to replenish food in a timely manner to maintain his energy consumption.
"Phew~! My hunger level is almost depleted. If I keep grinding, I'm afraid it will affect my health. It seems I have to replenish it quickly."
"Speaking of which~ From the beginning until now, I've probably been slashing for more than a quarter of an hour, right?"
"After grinding for about twenty minutes, I should have farmed quite a few Orcs, right?"
"I might as well take advantage of the break to replenish food and see how the harvest is!"
After making up his mind, he quickly scanned his surroundings. Immediately, Liang Yue changed his original attack route.
After a sword qi sweep with the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword in his hand, this guy began to advance towards the closest gap in the Orc army's encirclement!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"…
After slashing more than a dozen times in a row, a straight passage paved with Orc corpses appeared before his eyes.
Liang Yue immediately tapped his feet, and the whole person quickly broke away from the entanglement of the rear army.
After a few twists of his figure, he came to the edge of Smaug's Desolation, on the hillside of a steep hill.
Then, this guy stuck the greatsword in his hand into the ground.
With a flip of his sleeve, he used stone cubes to build a stone wall nearly three meters high and three meters wide on the ground.
He leaned against the back of the wall, holding a large beef pancake in his right hand and a large glass of milk in his left hand, and began to frantically fill his mouth~
"That human knight is finished! Everyone, hurry up! Take the opportunity to kill him!!!"
"You're the one who's finished~!"
Listening to the howling of those Orc soldiers dozens of meters away, Liang Yue immediately stuck his head out. While quickly chewing in his mouth, he also took a glance at the Orc squad leader who was shouting nonsense.
And secretly noted the appearance of this guy…
Then, with a thought, the light screen recording the task interface popped up in front of him.
…
《Unbalanced Orcs》
Current kill count: 7952
…
《Horizontal Slash》
Level: 2 / 10
Current Level: 2
The simplest and most direct move, which can cause effective damage to a group of enemies within a certain range in front. While swinging the weapon, there is a small probability of passively unleashing a sword wind, which can increase the attack range of the sweeping move.
The attack power of the sword wind is equal to the attack power of the weapon's sweep.
Skill Effect: Horizontal Slash Attack Power + 15%
Sword Wind appearance probability is 3%
Skill Proficiency: 371 / 500
…
"Damn? I unknowingly leveled up Horizontal Slash to level two? Even so, I didn't even unleash a single sword wind. How bad is my luck?"
Looking at this skill that he had newly comprehended, Liang Yue almost spat out the milk in his mouth, but he quickly composed himself.
Anyway, luck has always been like this. When people are unlucky, drinking water can choke you for a day, but once luck comes, every strike will be a fiery one…
"More than seven thousand, almost eight thousand data! That is to say, in just under twenty minutes, I not only completed the baseline standard for this task, but also earned an extra three thousand points!"
"It seems that my previous idea of farming data on the battlefield was indeed correct! But next, I have to continue my efforts. It's rare to have such a task, so I have to earn ten thousand points no matter what!"
"Hmm~ After farming here, I have to go to Mount Doom as well. It is said that's where Sauron's main base is!"
Soon, in just a few seconds, this foodie chewed frantically, and three meat pancakes were swallowed into his stomach.
In order to make himself eat more smoothly, he even took the time to drink another glass of milk.
At this moment, the Orcs on the opposite side were still howling excitedly, but the fastest ones had just invaded the slope in front of him, within a range of more than ten meters.
Seeing this, the corners of Liang Yue's mouth suddenly curved, and he reached out and pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword stuck in the mountain rock behind him.
With a thought, the full-coverage helmet, which only revealed a long slit, was immediately put on his head.
Turning around and walking out from behind the wall, Liang Yue looked at the Orc army that was swarming towards him in groups below, and unconsciously said.
"I've replenished my energy, now let's continue killing~"
