Chapter 3 World of Conflict

Countless memories poured into his mind like a river, and Joshua's memory returned to chaos.

——Human beings are a species that grows and evolves in war, and survives in carnage.

Therefore, when the warrior tore the orc in front of him with the giant sword, he didn't think about anything.

The gloomy sky covered with dark clouds was torn apart by the thunder that passed straight across, and the sound of horns was faintly heard in the whistling north wind. Along with the thunder, the rain began to fall. It was just a light rain at first, but it turned into a downpour after a while heavy rain.

After a while, the stagnant blood has covered his leg armor

Panting, Joshua took off the damaged helmet, and the green blood belonging to the orcs dripped from the black hair and dripped into the pool of blood.

He looks around.

Corpses were scattered all over the field, surrounded by stumped limbs and internal organs, piled up in mountains, there were no enemies to fight, and he was the only survivor.

It succeeded, and slowly grinned, Joshua laughed silently.

With the power of one person, he killed more than a hundred orcs.

Even the most exaggerated legendary novels would not write such a plot, and now it really happened to him.

"...Hoo." Half-kneeling on the ground, leaning on the sword with one hand, Joshua felt the tearing pain inside his body, and his brain was also a mess. The aftereffects of fighting to madness began to appear. The sense of dizziness invaded the spirit and will, and countless phantoms appeared in front of his eyes, floating like real scenes.

Demons... Meteorites... Kill... Betrayal!

Orcs...war...territory...ahhhhhh! ! !

The veins burst out, and the right hand bombarded the ground with violent power. Under this force, countless stumps turned into flesh and blood. The fragments of blood and steel were blown away and fell, turning into bloody rain, and madness took over the will, chaos Instead of wisdom, at this moment, it is not Joshua who exists here, but the hungry wolves who belong to the fight.

"Devil...orcs!!!"

In the darkness, two red lights lit up.

In short, it must be right to kill these bastards!

For some reason, his body moved, and the hilt of the big sword made of steel was tightly held, without shaking at all, but the strong hilt was slowly deformed under the huge force.

"Not enough." Lifting his head, the eyes in his eye sockets seemed to be burning. The man looked not far away, and the orcs who were approaching were defeated, and the piercing red light surged in his pupils: "It's not enough."

In the next moment, he dragged his huge sword and disappeared from everyone's sight. After a few breaths, a few hundred meters away, a huge wave of blood suddenly surged among the remnants of the orcs who were fleeing.

The battle has only just begun.

"——Fuck you mother, why were you so reckless back then!"

Shaking his head, Joshua had a painful expression on his face, and covered his forehead with his left hand, and couldn't help complaining: "It turns out that I crossed over during the battle. It's good luck that I didn't die!"

After complaining, normal memories also quickly flooded into my mind.

Joshua van Radcliffe. The eldest son of an earl of military meritorious service in the north, and the only heir of the family, according to the Radcliffe family's practice, passed the coming-of-age ceremony after being trained by the family knights and father, crying and crying, Sent to the army, let him expand his contacts and social circle in the army alone.

Everything went well. Joshua is a cheerful and gentle person. In addition, as a heir to a powerful noble with a territory, he is not weak. Naturally, many people want to befriend him. As time goes by, His record and position in the army have been promoted step by step, and his contacts and strength have also developed rapidly.

This process was perfect, until one day, a text message from afar broke it all.

The reason why Joshua's family moved away from the rich south of the empire to take root in the cold north was to guard 'something'. This responsibility was so secret and important that the old earl never even mentioned it in front of others, even if It was Joshua who asked again and again, but he just used the excuse of "Your strength is not enough, you don't need to know for now."

It is precisely in order to take responsibility as much as possible that the young fighters are so diligent in honing their martial arts and strength.

After knowing that there was a text message from the territory, Joshua was a little puzzled at first. He knew the character of his father very well. He had a tough temper like a rock, and he never contacted him at ordinary times. But when he opened it to watch the content, a cavity of blood rushed to his forehead——

[The seal of the guarded place is urgent. The master has personally gone to deal with the situation. There is no one in the city to manage it. It seems that someone is taking this opportunity to plan secretly. The current situation is critical. Please return as soon as possible, the young master, to stabilize the territory. 】

The signature is the old housekeeper in the family. Joshua may not believe what others say, but the old housekeeper who has been taking care of him since birth will never lie to him.

The hometown has changed, and the young warrior is eager to return.

However, just as he was about to bid farewell to his comrades-in-arms and apply for retirement to return to his hometown, the damn high-level empire suddenly launched a war against the western orcs! There was no news about this incident before, and it was a good name. If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. This caught Joshua by surprise. The laws of the empire are strict. One of the laws, don't say that Joshua is only the son of the earl, even the royal family and nobles must abide by the holy law. Now that the war has started, he can only press down on his urgent thoughts and go to the battlefield full of anger.

And a soul from another world, full of war desire, merged with him at this time.

In the chaotic fighting spirit, he and "his" memories rolled back and forth. The experience of the legendary warrior combined with his own strength made "Joshua" break through the enemy's formation on the battlefield, and even wiped out all the enemies with one enemy. , After the runaway, he broke through many fronts, broke into the defeated orc army with his own strength, and killed wantonly.

This is also the reason why the body was so severely damaged—in any case, after fighting with all their strength for a day and a night, one man was in charge of the pass in the middle of the gorge, and three hundred were killed in battle.

"interesting."

Standing up slowly, Joshua who calmed down looked up at the dark sky and the faint thunder, and said with some emotion: "It seems that this is the Mycroft Continent, the place where all the disputes originated, which is also the place in the game. The main world?

While talking, he looked up at the starlight revealed by the gaps in the clouds, stretched out his hand to dip some muddy water, tasted it, and then gestured to the wind: "The position of the moonlight, the direction of the wind and the temperature, the soil the taste of……"

"It should be the end of autumn in 831 of the Starfall calendar, mid-October. The epic battle "Glory Crusade" should be coming to an end by this time, and the orc's unfallen fortress Cedris will be breached when the first snow falls."

"I actually came back to this time." Joshua sighed, "It's not too late."

Before crossing, he was a hardcore player of the full-dive simulation game "Continent of Conflict". In the game, he was ranked third overall and a legendary warrior ranked first in fighters. Continent of Conflict has been in service for eight years, and the game has been played for 32 years. , After four major version updates, twelve epic events, hundreds of legendary missions, the four major servers of the Far Southern Alliance, the Northern Empire, the Eastern Plains, and the Western Mountains all have their own independent plot lines. Developed in the Far South Alliance, and occasionally visited the Northland to visit, but also knew some of the main events of the Northland.

The "Glorious Expedition" launched by the empire against the orcs is the second epic event on the Northland server, and the first is the "World of Discord" that represents players.

Back then, he was invited by his friends to serve as a member of the Imperial Foreign Legion for a period of time to carry out the task of sweeping up the orc plains. Now that he came to the northern land of another world, he was not completely ignorant.

"Humanity's victory is inevitable. Three generations of the empire have been recharging their strengths. Now, once the outbreak breaks out, there is no pressure to sweep the orcs. The overall situation is settled, and I should be able to retire."

Thinking of this, Joshua was extremely calm. At this time, he completely put aside the matter of crossing, and began to think about future plans in a very realistic way: "The most urgent task now is to find other human beings and go to a safe place. Rest your body, and then think about returning to the territory."

The doubts and panic about time travel, and the reluctance and bewilderment of the original world were of no help to survival, so they were quickly discarded by him because they were useless.

No matter which Joshua it is, it is a person with a big heart who doesn't care about such things. One is used to such urban legends, and the other is not able to understand and is too lazy to think about it. Of course, the most important thing is Things have happened, since the long river of time cannot be reversed, it is better to accept the facts directly than to be entangled.

Focusing on the soul of the earth, the newborn Joshua needs to think about every step of the future. Although the changes in his hometown certainly make him anxious, it is useless to worry about it without a healthy body.

"I'll see what's going on now."

Opening the attribute board casually, Joshua took a rough look.

【Your enemies never dare to appear in front of you. 】

"Mortal, black iron, silver, gold, ultimate intent, legend, I actually returned to the silver realm directly from the peak of legend... The attributes are too shabby compared to before, but it's not bad at the high-level silver, and all of them are All of them are above the average, as expected of a military nobleman, and he has a good way of training."

In the game Continent of Discord, everything is the same as in reality. To release skills, you need to make corresponding actions and read the correct spells. When you are injured, you will feel pain and lose strength. Basic attributes can be improved through exercise.

Of course, the most important thing is levels and skills. Levels provide skill points, and occupations are just a means to acquire skills. Collecting skills to form your own skill tree and perfecting your own fighting style is the first step to becoming a real master.

Before crossing, Joshua had achieved the element of [Extreme Intention of Skills] to become a legend, and all skills were fully unlocked. He never expected to be recognized in this world. This means that now he can freely combine skills without being restricted by the skill tree. .

"However, what's the matter with the template? There is also a challenge level, do players have such a thing? It seems that I am a BOSS."

As for the attributes, Joshua doesn't care. He always ignores things that can be improved by training. Anyway, as long as his body can move normally, he has the confidence to kill all opponents. But now, his state is too miserable , The self-recovery speed is very slow and urgently needs treatment.

Turning off the attribute version, Joshua leaned on a spear in his left hand as a crutch, and began to move towards the direction of the human army, but until he had walked down the slope and reached the bottom of the canyon, and walked towards the human army formation in his memory—— Only then did he realize that there seemed to be something wrong!

"Wait, what happened just now!?" Joshua only reacted now because he was too used to it, and his eyes widened: "Didn't I time travel? Even if I stayed in the game Continent of Disputes for so long , but it doesn't make sense to be able to make up a system after time travel!"

Joshua, who was a little frightened, quickly opened the attribute version again and read it from beginning to end.

"Really?!" Touching his chin, Joshua was surprised, and then frowned again: "Could it be a hallucination? I heard before that someone was in a trance at Christmas and imagined a girlfriend to spend the holidays with him , should I also be in this situation?"

At this moment, he found that several pieces of information were brushed on the edge of his retina.

[Battle ends, settlement begins]

[Kill the orc ax warrior Tuogu (19·silver), kill the orc marauder Valen (18·silver), kill the orc elite guard Nariel (23·silver)]

[You have gained 45 expeditionary army prestige]

[Expeditionary Army Prestige: Revere (5037)]

"It's actually true..." Joshua frowned, and he was in a happy mood: "Since that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of."

If it was said that he was a little worried about his fate after time travel, but now, he doesn't have any worries.

As a former legendary warrior, Joshua has experience and strength. With this body alone, he will not be afraid of any challenges. Now with the system, he does not know how high he is.

With this level of advantage, you can easily control your destiny, and even... influence the direction of the world!

There are countless epic and legendary events in the Continent of Disputes, and the results of many of them made him unhappy, but now, nothing has happened, and there is still a chance for change. Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help feeling emotional, and he clenched his hands tightly. Holding the spear in his hand, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes: "It's not just that."

A real alien world must be wider than the game, he must be able to see a bigger world, meet more characters, fight with stronger powerhouses, and fight with worse enemies——

He will definitely be able to shake off the shackles of the ordinary and become a real, strong man!

"Of course, go back first and find a place to rest."

After talking loudly and ambitiously, Joshua still understood the truth: "Otherwise, I will die of starvation and thirst here."

Now it is not a game, but a reality. There is only one life. At this time, he is in a very bad state. Although the secretion of adrenal hormones gave him a little strength for a while when killing the orcs, but now, the feeling of powerlessness has returned. This broken body.

He must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. There was a squad of orcs retreating before, and there may be a large army of orcs in the future. Now he is not as strong as he was when he fought one against a hundred.

After confirming the direction, Joshua used the gun as a crutch, stepped over the corpses and trenches in the dark, and kept moving forward.

silence.

I don't know how long it has passed, and some flames suddenly appeared in front of him.

That is the fire in the army formation.

Not far away, the sound of orderly footsteps came, and in Joshua's perception, a large group of humanoid creatures with obvious energy fluctuations appeared not far in front, but when he looked up, the flames began to shake. The crowd suddenly became restless.

"Deputy Commander?!"

While wondering, Joshua suddenly heard this exclamation, and right in front of his eyes, a large group of people in black armor decorated with death crows stopped walking uniformly and scattered in all directions.

From his point of view, many people broke away from the team and rushed towards him at a speed that was almost a charge.

Joshua couldn't help but took a step back and gasped, "Damn scared!"
