Time travel game, starting from Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Because it's difficult to calculate, whether it was Bohemia in the late Middle Ages or China in the late Yuan Dynasty, he killed quite a few people.

Putting aside everything else, in his first battle in Bohemia alone, he directly defeated an army of eight hundred Cumans.

He killed even more people after that, so much so that he didn't have an accurate number, since he hadn't joined the army and didn't need to rely on kills for promotion.

Who would remember how many slices of bread they've ever eaten?

Finally, through fuzzy calculations, after eliminating irregular forces such as bandits and江湖人士 (jianghu figures), it was roughly estimated that the number of regular troops killed was around four figures.

Granny Tang glanced at the pig-slaughtering knife in her hand, casually tossed it aside, and then turned back to pick and choose, emptying most of the contents of the package.

"Alright, Xiao Jiang, are you ready? Let's go if you're ready."

Upon seeing what Sumie had brought, Yubaba promptly threw most of the items out of the package.

Although Mo Jiang didn't say it explicitly, considering that the armor was brought by Mo Jiang and that she had calculated the other party's fate, Granny Tang suspected that the four-figure number of lives associated with this armor were probably killed by this burly man himself.

A peerless villain who can kill thousands while wearing armor, let alone need to be well prepared, would make an ordinary person who accidentally enters the ghost realm worry about being played to death by the ghosts.

If this guy enters the ghost realm, he'll be worried about the ghosts, and about being found and killed by this burly man.

Nie Moli had no objections; she had already changed into clothes that were easier to move in.

A black knitted sweater paired with trousers and sneakers, topped with a red coat, makes the wearer look capable and energetic.

I wonder if she's dressed in red because she plans to become a vengeful ghost after dying in the ghost realm...

Thinking of the rumors about the red-clothed ghost, Mo Jiang couldn't help but laugh, which was rather immoral.

157. One against hundreds, the advantage is mine!

The place where the Thousand Trees once stood was not far away, but the road has been covered by weeds, and the land has been abandoned for a long time.

According to Granny Yu, this place has been consciously forgotten ever since the villagers abandoned their faith in the Thousand-Child Tree and converted to the Six Burials Bodhisattva.

Even if someone occasionally remembers this land and wants to do something with it, unexpected situations often arise.

As time went by, no one paid any more attention to this area. Apart from reminding the children not to go near it, nothing else happened.

Where the Thousand Trees once stood, no other trees could be seen; only a large pit, five meters in diameter, remained.

No one knows how this pit was created. It hasn't been filled in yet, and the sand inside hasn't turned into soil.

If someone walks by without paying attention, they could easily fall and get a bruised and swollen face, which would be considered the least of their worries.

The three of them slowly slid down the edge of the pit, and then Yubaba walked to the center of the pit and placed the heartwood of the Thousand-Child Tree on the ground.

Then he started chanting something I couldn't understand, which sounded like a spell or some kind of dialect from somewhere else.

This recitation lasted for nearly ten minutes, with no repeated sentences throughout the entire process. As the recitation continued, the heart of the tree emitted a faint green light.

Under the green light, the surrounding environment began to change.

Do not!

wrong!

It wasn't that the surrounding environment had changed; Mo Jiang could sense that the tree heart was leading them somewhere.

Head to where its true form is.

Neither Nie Moli nor Mo Jiang spoke. On the way there, Granny Tang had warned them that no matter what happened while she was chanting, they should not touch her, interrupt her, or panic no matter what they saw.

For humans to travel to the Ghost Realm is already an extremely difficult task, and if the destination is a place like the Thousand Trees, which may have once been home to deities, then the entire process cannot afford to have the slightest mistake.

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we'll end up not in the territory of the Thousand Trees, but in the territory of something even more terrifying.

So Mo Jiang didn't speak, but made a gesture, and the five hunting dogs immediately spread out around, crouching low and constantly looking around, ready to attack at the first sign of trouble.

Donning his horse armor, Tianjie wagged his tail irritably but made no sound, quietly waiting for the enemy to appear and for Mojiang to need his warhorse.

The Golden Eagle Dongjun stood atop the Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps it was due to its racial instincts, but whenever the Golden Eagle wasn't flying in the sky, it always preferred to stand at a high place.

It's either Mo Jiang's right arm or Tian Jie's head.

Because Granny Yu said that the only things that can truly be effective in the Ghost Realm are items imbued with malevolent energy, Mo Jiang not only brought his own armor, but also his hunting dogs, warhorses, and golden eagles.

These animal companions have followed me to the battlefield and killed many enemies, so they definitely possess some kind of malevolent aura.

After asking Yubaba, the answer was that it could be taken into the demon realm.

At that time, in Yubaba's eyes, the horse, dog, and eagle were nothing more than a group of malevolent spirits transformed into animals.

If Yubaba hadn't confirmed with her hands that these were living creatures, she might have thought they were malevolent spirits that Sumie had dug out of some mass grave.

The ferocious aura emanating from these creatures was more terrifying than anything she had ever seen, even in her youth when she experienced war and chaos, let alone now that she was older.

Just then, the pit suddenly trembled, then seemed to stop abruptly like a car coming to a screeching halt. The sudden change made Nie Moli feel nauseous, as if she were experiencing motion sickness.

Soon, Granny Yu's voice came over, "We've arrived. This is the Demon Realm of the Thousand Tree."

The large pit beneath our feet had disappeared at some point, replaced by a flat expanse of land.

Mo Jiang looked around, observing the surroundings.

The sky here is overcast, as if the sun has just set or the sky is just about to brighten.

Visibility was poor; things became blurry beyond five meters, and a gust of wind blew up from time to time.

This wind was not the wind of spring, summer, autumn, or winter, but a cold, eerie wind. Whenever Mo Jiang was blown by this cold wind, he could feel his body temperature drop.

Yubaba picked up the heartwood of the Thousand-Child Tree, and no one knows what she did, but the heartwood began to emit a green light, increasing the visibility of the surrounding area.

You can probably see about ten meters away.

"Quickly find a place to block the cold wind. If this thing blows too much, at least one of the fires will be extinguished."

Mo Jiang nodded slightly. He knew very well that in this situation, he should listen to the experts. He immediately said, "I'm fast on foot. You two ride horses, Mother-in-law. Dongjun will protect you."

Granny Tang and Nie Moli did not back down at this time. They knew very well that they were a burden in terms of physical strength, so they immediately climbed onto the back of the Heavenly Tribulation Warhorse.

Tianjie was still a little uncomfortable with strangers riding on his back and kept thinking of suddenly jumping up and throwing the two off, but Mojiang held the reins firmly, making Tianjie give up the idea.

Through the mental link of [Aesop's Potion], Tianjie could clearly sense that Mojiang's command carried a force that it dared not defy.

The five hounds each took up a position in one of the five directions, not only observing the surroundings where enemies might appear, but also ensuring that at least two of their companions were in sight. If the number of companions was incorrect, they would immediately bark.

"We've arrived in the Ghost Realm. Granny, can you tell us what to do next?"

I had asked Yubaba before how to remove the mark from the Senko Tree, but she didn't explain it clearly at the time, and I didn't press her for details.

After all, this kind of knowledge is similar to a secret manual like the Nine Yang Divine Skill in some ways; it's a closely guarded secret.

"Actually, the method is very simple. We return the heartwood to the Thousand-Child Tree and then ask them to remove the mark."

Granny Yu's voice was filled with helplessness, "The power of the Thousand Tree is completely different from that of ordinary vengeful spirits. It's almost impossible for an old woman like me to influence it. The only way I can think of is to return the tree heart and, for the sake of the tree heart, let the Thousand Tree stop pursuing this matter."

Hearing this suggestion, Mo Jiang wasn't too surprised. He had guessed this possibility when he learned that the heartwood of the Thousand-Child Tree was needed and when he saw Yubaba take the heartwood to the Demon Realm.

He had no intention of objecting, or rather, Mo Jiang would be quite cooperative until the mark on Nie Moli was removed.

Only after sending Yubaba and Nie Moli out of this place will he begin to talk to Senjiki.

Just then, Mo Jiang suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, have you ever thought about something...?"

"What if something else tries to steal the heart of the tree before we find the Thousand-Child Tree?"

The Heavenly Calamity Warhorse slowly came to a stop, for a pale white figure wielding swords had appeared ahead of them at some unknown time.

They were not human-shaped, only pale white outlines, standing motionless in front of me.

Clearly, they have no intention of leaving on their own.

And their numbers...

Not a few, not dozens, but at least several hundred.

Granny Yu sighed, "This is the trouble we faced before finding the Thousand-Child Tree. Xiao Jiang, can you solve it?"

The answer to Granny Yu was the sound of Tang Hengdao being drawn from his sheath.

The author says:

Author's Note: There will be another chapter later.

158. The Overlord Stands Firm!

Tang Hengdao slowly drew his sword, the sound of steel scraping against steel particularly jarring in the ghost realm.

"Stay on your horse and don't dismount no matter what happens."

After leaving behind a message, Mo Jiang, clad in armor and wielding a long sword, walked step by step toward the humanoid silhouette.

As Mo Jiang approached, seemingly stimulated by the presence of a stranger, the humanoid silhouettes began to change.

What was originally a body that was like a phantom without any substance began to slowly transform into a wooden-like material, and its outline began to be infinitely subdivided, with arms, thighs, torso, head, and even hair becoming clearer little by little.

The whole process looks like hand-drawing done thousands of times faster.

In just a few steps, Mo Jiang transformed into a large group of soldiers, each clad in armor and wielding weapons.

This is an army, without a doubt.

Even without the presence of any living creatures, the "thing" before them was an army composed of demons.

They are very strong.

The power was so strong that even Mo Jiang's mental strength was warning him about the danger of this battle.

However, Mo Jiang was smiling at that moment.

His smile was ferocious and menacing, like that of a predator at the top of the food chain.

There's no need to consider what the other person is or guess what you'll face next.

Since the thing in front of us has shown malice, the only outcome is war, and only death!

The ferocious beast within was unleashed, and the overwhelming malevolent energy swept across everything like a burst dam. Even the dead ghosts couldn't help but take a step back under this fierce and violent aura.

Mo Jiang began his charge, a charge without reservation, smashing through everything in his path like an ancient behemoth.

When one person fights another, it's called a one-on-one fight.

When one person fights against ten people, that's called Ip Man.

A person who dares to attack even when facing hundreds of people can be called a fierce general.

When there is one person who dares to charge against nearly a thousand ghost soldiers, even with an aura as powerful as a dragon, causing the ghosts, who should not be intimidated by the mind, to instinctively take a step back, then there are only four words to describe him—a domineering figure!

"Hahahahaha!!!"

With unrestrained and arrogant laughter, and fueled by a surge of fighting spirit, ferocious flames began to appear on the Ironclad Cavalry, like a malevolent spirit returning from purgatory.

With a long sword in hand, he was invincible.

Mo Jiang dodged a ghost soldier's spear thrust, then unleashed a violent slash with his longsword. Holy light flashed on the blade, and the powerful, domineering, and merciless light severed the spear and tore the ghost soldier's body apart.

The pure holy light gave the ghost soldiers the most direct death, utter destruction, without any reservation, and there was no way to make them rise again.

With a swipe of his longsword, he struck a sword-and-shield ghost soldier. The sturdy shield could not withstand Mo Jiang's blade, and the blade tore a wound in the ghost soldier's body. Instantly, highly concentrated holy light transformed into raging holy flames, burning in the ghost soldier's wound.

In less than a second, the ghost soldiers were engulfed in holy flames. Mo Jiang slapped out a palm, sending the burning ghost soldiers crashing into the ghost soldier army, causing a massive explosion.

It was like a fire at a gas station; within a few breaths, the fire raged and killed countless ghost soldiers. With each ghost soldier killed, the holy flame grew stronger.

Once enough ghost soldiers had been burned to death, the holy flames, now at their maximum intensity, unleashed a violent explosion, indiscriminately burning hundreds of ghost soldiers to nothingness.

Although a series of events occurred, they happened in an instant. When Mo Jiang killed the ghost soldiers, it triggered an explosion that burned hundreds of people to death. The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

But within seconds, some people had already started to react.

A ghost general, seemingly a commander, charged forward on a ghostly horse, wielding a spiked club the size of a bowl, aiming straight for Mo Jiang's head.

Hearing the ominous wind rising, one knew that if this attack by Yi Lingyi Qi 4 Wu (W Jiux) Si Jiu Ba were to be carried out seriously, his head would probably become a rotten watermelon, and his brain would be like tofu pudding, the kind that could be served with a sprinkle of sugar.

but……

Using the momentum of the ghost horse's charge, the fiercely slamming mace missed its target, instead crashing into the ground and creating countless cracks.

Mo Jiang dodged the spiked club aimed at his head with agility that armored soldiers shouldn't have.

"Your aim is terrible."
