Chapter 35
Take the Initiative
Ning Shi came to the arena and killed a group of thugs from the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce.
[Level 13 bloodline warrior killed, experience points +2000.]
[Bloodline warrior leveled up to Level 10 (900/1,280,000), physique +1, skill points +1, potential points +1.]
Ning Shi’s eyes were filled with tears when he heard the long-awaited notification.
His physique had leveled up to 38 points. Ning Shi felt that his strength and speed had increased by more than 50%.
He had finally accumulated three potential points to level up his bloodline!
[Consumption of 3 potential points. Level 3 lightning berserk dragon bloodline has leveled up to Level 4 thundercloud berserk dragon bloodline. Physique +1, spiritual power +3. Electrostatic field talent has leveled up to lightning field (blue).]
[Lightning field (blue): The attack contains extremely strong lightning damage. Summons a thundercloud to randomly attack the enemies within the lightning field. The attack range of the thundercloud is 3 meters. It has a slight paralyzing effect.]

Playing games and leveling up was always one of the most enjoyable things.
Ning Shi was in a good mood. He moved very quickly and contracted all the gladiators in the gladiator arena as servants.
These gladiators came from all over the continent. There were beastmen, barbarians, dwarves, elves, half-elves and human nobles.
There were criminals and slaves among them. Those who could be sent to the arena as reserve gladiators were not good people.
After experiencing cruel battles, these gladiators were all bloodthirsty and crazy. Their combat strength was strong.
Especially the 19 titled gladiators. Every one of them gave Ning Shi a sense of danger. They were definitely battle maniacs.
After being contracted as servants, Ning Shi shared the purple regeneration talent with them. With their super-strong body recovery and reckless fighting style, these gladiators’ fighting strength was no weaker than the extreme barbarians.
“Follow me. In the future, you don’t have to be like wild beasts, killing each other for others to watch. As long as you serve me seriously and obey my orders, you can all live a normal life again.”
Ning Shi casually said a few words and deliberately tore up the bloodline contract of the gladiators on the spot.
“Unfortunately, there was no hint of intimacy. It seems that there are no hero characters among these gladiators.”
Following that, Ning Shi selected more than 200 people from the reserve gladiators who had yet to experience the cage free-for-all and contracted them as servants.
[Reputation points: Main body 1011 (slightly famous) / avatar (247/2347)(rather famous).]
He had contracted 2000 servants and 1 follower and had used up 2100 reputation points.
[The number of servants has reached 2000. The current number of servants that can be recruited has reached the upper limit.]
The number of servants could not be increased anymore, but reputation points were still needed because servants would also die. After death, to replenish the number of servants, reputation points were still needed.
The number of servants for the main storyline mission had been completed, and now he was only short of followers. Ning Shi planned to search for a few more days. If he could not find a hero character, he would find a lucky person to recruit as a follower.
“All gladiators, hide in the houses on both sides of the street. Extreme warriors, follow me. Stay alert and wait for the enemy to arrive!”
Ning Shi’s actions today were not concealed and many people had seen them.
The news of the Lord of the extreme wilderness killing Anjelo was immediately received by Hilker, the president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce.
The illegitimate son that His Majesty Joerger loved the most had died in Duohuang. If Hilker did not do anything, what awaited him would be wrath.
Hilker would definitely lead the Wild Lion Knights to Street No. 111 to take revenge for Anjelo.
Ning Shi was not a fool. He purposely gave the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce one day to gather their forces before using his own infantry to fight against the enemy’s cavalry in the wild.
No matter how strong his troops were, this was not an acceptable action.
He had to take the initiative in the battle and let the enemy follow his rhythm.
Now, making use of Anjelo’s death to lure Hilker’s Wild Lion Knights to the streets and engage in street battles with them was the most advantageous way of fighting.
After waiting for half an hour, Hilker’s Wild Lion Knights arrived at Street No. 111.
In order to transport goods, Duohuang’s streets were extremely wide. A street more than ten meters wide was enough for ten knights to walk side by side.
With Ning Shi’s reminder, all the merchants on Street No. 111 had already escaped.
At this moment, only the knights were walking forward in an orderly fashion on the empty street. The lions had meat pads, so they moved silently, creating a strange silence on the street.
Behind the 1000 Wild Lion Knights, there were 2000 Wolf Knights.
These Wolf Knights were clad in light armor, and the giant wolves under them were all beginner magical beasts, wind wolves. Their speed was extremely fast.
No wonder Hilker took more than half an hour to get here. He had gone to ask for reinforcements.
Beside Hilker was Piermont, who was clad in black light armor. Under him was a one-horned thunder rhinoceros.
“Lord Hilker, I’ll advise you again. For the time being, hold back the idea of taking revenge. We’ll have a greater chance of winning the decisive battle with the extreme battle group tomorrow morning.”
“This is a street. Our cavalry can’t display the advantage of speed and impact. On the contrary, the barbarians of the extreme battle group love street battles the most.”
Hilker felt bitter in his heart. How could he not know that street battles were to the opponent’s advantage? However, he could not wait.
“Lord Piermont, let me tell you the truth. Anjelo is His Majesty’s most beloved child. I’m just a side branch of the royal family that no one loves.”
“If I don’t do anything and wait until tomorrow to start the final battle with the extreme battle group, His Majesty will definitely vent his anger on me.”
“If I attack and kill the Lord of the extreme wilderness now, although I still have the responsibility of ineffective protection, I’ve done everything I can. The main fault isn’t me and I can at least still escape unscathed.”
“If I wait until tomorrow to attack and if the Lord of the extreme wilderness escapes, my end will probably be very miserable.”
Piermont sighed. The King was high and mighty. He only needed the result of the victory, so he did not care about the sacrifice of the soldiers at the bottom.
Hilker continued, “Even if it is a street battle, our 3000 regular knights against 500 barbarians is a battle that we will definitely win. However, the proportion of casualties will be higher.”
“Lord Piermont, don’t worry. We have already signed a bloodline contract. After this battle, I will pay you an advanced magic core as promised. With it, you can continue to purify your bloodline and advance towards the supreme.”
Piermont agreed with Hilker’s judgment. This battle might be a bitter one, but the one who would win would definitely be his side.
After Hilker persuaded Piermont again, he waved his hand.
“Advance!”
After the team walked for hundreds of meters, they saw the extreme battle group standing neatly in the gladiator square on Street No. 111.
Hilker did not want to shout in public with Ning Shi. Anjelo’s background was sensitive. If he said something in public that he should not say, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ning Shi was already impatient. He waved his hand and 500 extreme barbarians followed him and rushed towards the Wild Lion Knights.
500 people, taking the initiative to charge into the battle formation of 3000 people!
The extreme barbarians were covered in armor and held huge mace in their hands. The weight of their equipment alone was over hundreds of pounds.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Under the rapid running, the earth began to shake!
“Elevation angle, vibrating light bombs!” Hilke calmly gave the battle order.
The Wild Lion Knights raised their long swords in unison, and dazzling light waves condensed at the tip of their swords.
Thousands of light bombs quickly formed. After being shot into the sky at different elevation angles, they drew an arc and landed in the formation of the extreme battle group.
Rumble!
The light bombs rained down like a meteor shower, smashing holes into the street made of black rocks.
Even in the daytime, the street was still covered in white light. All the warriors of the extreme battle group were drowned in the light bombs and their figures could not be seen at all.
Hilker revealed a cruel smile and continued to shout, “The second round of light bombs!”
Another meteor shower of light bombs densely covered the location of the extreme battle group.
The barbarian warriors were hit by the light bombs and roared angrily.
As the trump card of the Brad Empire, the Wild Lion Knights were very powerful.
They could use golden mechs with strong defense in close combat. With the help of the knights with strong physiques and their invincible lightsaber technique, killing the enemies was as easy as drinking water.
The long-range magic light bombs could be used in a group attack. The coverage of the firepower was very fierce.
After the knights with the golden lion bloodline signed the knight contract with the three-eyed lion, they could borrow the magic power of the three-eyed lion to enhance their own magic effects. Both their endurance and damage would be greatly increased.
It was also the first time that Piermont of the Ole Empire saw a group battle of the Wild Lion Knights. He was shocked by the effect of the knights’ firepower coverage.
“No wonder the Brad Empire is confident in fighting against our 3000-man Wolf Knight Legion and Griffin Knight Legion with only 1000 Wild Lion Knights.”
Hilker was in a good mood, but he was not careless. He was about to give the order and release the third round of light bombs when Ning Shi had already passed through the white light and appeared in front of him.
The light bombs were too dense. In order to pursue speed, Ning Shi could only take them head-on.
At this moment, his armor was charred black, and his face was covered with black spots. They were all scars caused by the scorching heat of the light bombs. His hair was also charred, and he looked very miserable.
Ning Shi did not hold back at all. He ignored Hilker and directly rushed into the formation of the knights. He raised his large sword and swept across!
This slash was imbued with a weak sword intent and the lightning damage from the lightning field.
With a sweep of the broadsword, the golden mechs on the knights were shattered like glass.
There was a crashing sound as more than a dozen knights were swept away by the broadsword. They landed on the houses on both sides of the street and died.
