Chapter 351: Chapter 212: Sneak Attack on the City! (Five-in-one, 10/10)_3
In addition to items, her backpack surprisingly contained an eternal gold coin.
This woman clearly wasn’t a high-star professional, yet she actually had an eternal gold coin saved up. Chen Mo was somewhat surprised. It was an unexpected bonus.
As for the Special Undead converted from her, Chen Mo wasn’t interested in keeping it, so he simply let it dissipate.
After dealing with these matters, Chen Mo summoned the Nine-tailed White Fox. A blast of foxfire then incinerated the red-named individual’s corpse. After all, he had benefited slightly from her. Though she was ruthless, she was already dead. There was no need to leave her body exposed in the wilderness; burning it was cleaner and more thorough.
Once the incineration was complete, Chen Mo began to review the details of the Realm Breakthrough Assessment.
A fifth-tier SSS-level breakthrough required 9,532,000 experience points. Chen Mo currently had 18,147,438 experience points, which was more than enough. Since he had sufficient experience points, Chen Mo naturally prepared to begin the Realm Breakthrough Assessment immediately.
After all, the true journey only began after the fifth-transition. Until one entered the Tower of Eternity, it was all akin to being in a Novice Village. Without Divine Power, you were nothing! Entering the Tower of Eternity to earn Divine Power sooner was key, and naturally, he wanted to enhance his strength as quickly as possible.
He immediately tested the clearance rate. Once the check was complete, Chen Mo received confirmation of a 100% clearance rate. With this, he could naturally save a sweep scroll.
He then chose to initiate the Realm Breakthrough Assessment.
With a flash of light before his eyes, he appeared in a military camp.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have entered the assessment space. The current assessment mission is now announced!]
[Mission Hint: Participate in this legion battle and slay the Demon King!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The assessment will officially begin in 1 minute. Please use this time to understand the information regarding this mission’s objectives as thoroughly as possible.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Once the assessment begins, a 72-hour countdown will commence. Please be prepared.]
A sneak attack on the main camp?
Just as Chen Mo was pondering the mission’s details, a man who appeared to be a military officer materialized beside him.
"Hero, your timing is perfect. We’ve just finished discussing this surprise attack mission. Please join me in the tent."
Seeing that the officer turned and entered the tent without waiting for a reply, Chen Mo immediately followed.
Once inside the tent, the man took out a map and unfolded it before Chen Mo.
"Hero, please observe. The terrain of the Demon King’s City is as follows: high mountains flank the fortress, and the entire surrounding area is protected by a powerful Flying-Restricted Array. We cannot fly in. Our only option is a frontal assault, but this fortress is easily defended and difficult to attack. Furthermore, with the Demon King’s Army garrisoned there, a frontal attack would result in heavy casualties, and we’d likely find no opportunity to breach it.
"We hope you can lead a squad of elite soldiers to swiftly bypass the main route. You’ll need to traverse the mountains and strike the enemy from the rear. This will catch them off guard, disrupt their formations, and if we coordinate attacks from both front and rear, we can quickly conquer this Demon King’s City!"
Looking at the military officer pointing at the map and explaining everything so cogently, Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel that things might not be that simple. Fortunately, his own strength was considerable; he alone could be an army of a million.
He nodded. "Am I going alone?"
"Yes. We’ve heard that you, Sir Hero, possess a miraculous profession that allows you to summon a large number of Ghosts for battle. Therefore, we don’t need to dispatch soldiers to assist you. This is also why we invited you to be our surprise attacker. Going solo means you’ll be faster and harder to detect. Even if you are spotted, the enemy won’t know your intentions, making the surprise attack more effective."
Chen Mo found the officer’s reasoning quite sound.
He nodded at once. "Should I depart immediately?"
"Yes, time is of the essence. Once you depart, we will immediately muster our troops and prepare to challenge them. This will draw the attention of their main frontline forces, allowing you to sneak behind them safely."
"Alright, I’ll set off now."
"Wait a moment, Sir Hero."
Chen Mo was just about to leave when the military officer stopped him again.
"Is there anything else?"
"This is our special Signal Arrow. Once your surprise attack is successful, fire this Signal Arrow. When we see it, we will immediately launch an all-out assault, giving their frontline forces no chance to retreat."
Taking the Signal Arrow, Chen Mo promptly left the barracks.
Following the map provided by the Heavenly Dao, Chen Mo quickly located the difficult, narrow path.
Before taking this path, however, Chen Mo attempted to use Divine Flicker. He had hoped to take a shortcut.
However, the Heavenly Dao informed him that teleportation was forbidden in this space.
As expected. For a mission with a 72-hour time limit, there probably wouldn’t be any opportunity to teleport.
Seeing this, Chen Mo had no choice but to proceed on foot. This wasn’t entirely bad, though, as he could use the travel time to farm some Skeleton Monsters.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Chen Mo finally maxed out his five-hundredfold summon multiplier for quantity. Having reached level 25, he could now summon a maximum of two million skeletons.
The moment these Skeleton Monsters appeared, they stacked densely together behind Chen Mo.
Since his mission was a surprise attack, Chen Mo naturally kept the Divine Stealth Box active throughout his journey to avoid detection.
This proved to be the correct decision, as along the way, Chen Mo spotted numerous troops from the Demon King’s Army stationed along the narrow path.
Clearly, sneaking along this passage to ambush the enemy’s rear was no simple feat. At the very least, he would have to eliminate all the guards on this route without alerting those further back.
