94: Chapter 94 While everyone was engaged in a bloody battle, that bastard Xu Xuan was eating breakfast?

The 99 lords below had been forced to the front lines to stabilize morale, yet Xu Xuan, in the live broadcast, was still chatting with two beautiful girls.

He leisurely observed the flow of the entire battlefield while calmly commanding his troops to provide fire support for his allies.

Elegant, truly elegant.

The first wave of a million-strong skeleton army looked fierce, but it came and went quickly.

Facing a multi-million human coalition, the million skeletons were reduced to a field of shattered bones in less than two hours.

Many lords were covered in injuries, and the blood of their guards stained their robes red.

The Japanese Lord Miyamoto Takeshi sat slumped on the ground. His gray kimono had been dyed dark red. It was evident that back on Earth, this Miyamoto Takeshi was likely a kendo practitioner, as he was wearing a kendo practice uniform.

“Was the first wave of the offensive already this intense?”

Miyamoto Takeshi looked toward the Floating Island on his left, panting heavily.

Compared to lords from other nations, the Great Xia Lords appeared much more composed.

Zhou Wu and Zhou Mei were still clean, and their troops maintained very high morale.

This was because they had Xu Xuan's Floating Island above them, which blocked a massive amount of arrows for them.

One only had to look at the north side of the Floating Island!

The island's cliffs and earthen walls were densely packed with arrows, all stuck in the soil and rock crevices.

At this moment, Xu Xuan, standing on the high tower, waved his hand dashingly: “Lower the lifts and retrieve the arrows stuck on the island. Also, dispatch the Flying Eagle Unit to recover the fired ballista bolts!”

On the deathly silent battlefield, Xu Xuan used Spirit Qi to project his voice, allowing it to travel further and making it easier to command those below.

Over a hundred war eagles flew out from the island. They landed on the battlefield, hooked the giant bolts with their sharp claws, and retrieved the arrows fired by the ballistae once again.

Only through recycling and reuse could the ammunition for the ballistae be guaranteed.

These ballista bolts had already participated in several battles, large and small, being reused and recovered repeatedly.

In ancient warfare, you didn't just leave after the fight; these bolts and arrows had to be brought back, repaired, and used again.

By recovering these bolts, Xu Xuan had accumulated more and more arrows, with the ballista ammunition reaching a reserve of 80,000 rounds.

At the same time, the arrows fired by the skeleton archers were also a source of income.

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows with straw boats; Xu Xuan directly used the entire northern cliff of his island to 'borrow' at least 100,000 to 200,000 arrows.

The Floating Island blocked arrows for the Great Xia alliance, and Xu Xuan gained a large batch of free iron arrowheads. It was practically a happy scene where no one got hurt and everyone profited.

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere of the Great Xia alliance, the lords of other nations were so envious that their eyes were turning red, literally glowing with resentment.

The first wave of the offensive ended, and statistics appeared on the large screen.

[First Wave Offensive, Battle Statistics.]

[1st Place in Kills: Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan, total 43,000 skeletons killed, own casualties: 3 persons.]

[2nd Place in Kills: Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu, total 37,000 skeletons killed, own casualties: 1,024 persons.]

[3rd Place in Kills: Japanese Lord Miyamoto Takeshi, total 34,000 skeletons killed, own casualties: 3,543 persons.]

[4th Place in Kills: Spartan Lord Anthony, total 31,000 skeletons killed, own casualties: 3,343 persons.]

[5th Place in Kills: Great Xia Lord Zhou Mei, total 28,000 skeletons killed, own casualties: 1,213 persons.]

[6th Place in Kills...]

From the large screen, it was clear that during the first wave, that bastard Xu Xuan could easily kill over 40,000 skeletons without taking damage just by relying on the over a thousand ballistae in his hands.

Because he had the Floating Island, he could carry a large amount of heavy equipment, whereas other lords could at most manage ten or twenty catapults or ballistae—the difference was too great.

Especially when the skeleton soldiers first emerged and were densely packed, one ballista bolt from Xu Xuan could pierce through 5 to 10 skeletons; it was incredibly satisfying to watch.

As for the other Great Xia Lords, with Xu Xuan's Floating Island protecting them from above, their casualty rates were also extremely low.

Seeing these battle statistics, it was impossible not to be jealous. Some lords from small nations even began proactively showing goodwill to the Great Xia alliance, wanting to coordinate defenses together.

After tallying the kill records of the 100 lords, the system began distributing the first wave of supplies.

New information appeared on the virtual screen in front of everyone.

[First wave of offensive concluded. Entering supply phase.]

[1st Place Lord: Receives 10,000 troop reinforcements, 10,000 units of healing herbs, and 100,000 units of rations (1-day supply).]

[2nd Place Lord: Receives 8,000 troop reinforcements, 8,000 units of healing herbs, and 100,000 units of rations (1-day supply).]

[3rd Place...]

The pop-up display made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that as long as they continued to fight and struggle, the system would instead replenish the combat power of those at the front!

After all, if those at the very front lost more troops the more they fought, there would be no point in continuing the battle later.

Cowards do not deserve rewards; this is a game for the brave.

With the troop reinforcements, everyone's spirits were lifted, feeling that the battle could still be won!

Countless portal rifts opened, and new supplies and troops poured out from the cracks continuously.

[Supplies have been distributed. The second wave of the Undead Legion's offensive will arrive in 1 hour. All lords, please hurry to reorganize your troops and set up defenses.]

[Here, we extend our highest respects to the lords fighting on the front lines to defend the human race!]

On the global live broadcast screen, the scene shifted to show the lords who were fighting bloody battles.

Miyamoto Takeshi, in his samurai persona, was covered in blood, and the katana in his hand had been chipped and dulled from combat.

The Spartan-styled, bearded Anthony held a round shield and a spear, standing shoulder to shoulder with his warriors.

The Siamese Lord Saiban rode atop an elephant, and the war elephant was covered in countless bloody gashes.

The French knight-styled Lord Leon had a plate armor full of cracks and battle scars, with sweat pouring from his helmet.

The Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu's Lamellar Armor was also battered and broken, and his helmet had been dented by impacts.

When the camera turned to Xu Xuan...

He was sitting on the temporarily constructed high tower. On the dining table before him sat a delicious grilled fish, a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, and a bowl of fragrant white rice.

Xu Xuan, who was eating, paused for a moment as he saw the global live broadcast screen showing him enjoying his breakfast.

However, very quickly, Xu Xuan very calmly continued to enjoy his breakfast in front of all the lords in the world.

Amidst all the heroic images where everyone else was in a wretched state, only this bastard could maintain such composed elegance.

Below, Miyamoto Takeshi and the other lords fighting bloody battles were so jealous their eyes were bloodshot, wishing they could take his place!
