Chapter 114 Just Pretend You Didn’t See It
Wang Yao was a little depressed.

Because according to the original plan, he should have enough gold coins to buy a witch cloak after killing the enemy's top lane hero. After all, in addition to a young lady, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are both mage-type heroes in Wu, and even the skills of Da Qiao, who specializes in assisting, have a certain amount of magic damage.

Wang Yao currently only has three pieces of equipment: the Armor-Piercing Bow, the Shadow Ninja's Foot, and the Violent Armor. As for the equipment that increases magic defense, he has no equipment at all. With almost zero magic defense, he is actually at a disadvantage when facing the enemy's mage-type heroes.

Even though he defeated Zhou Yu, Wang Yao was actually hiding behind the soldiers in a cowardly manner the entire time. He only seemed so relaxed because Zhou Yu's attack range couldn't reach him.

Life is often like a crappy qualifying match, with so many things that make people helpless!
Resigned to his fate, Wang Yao calmed down and prepared to go find Zhao Yun. After all, it was Zhao Yun who took the head, so maybe Zhao Yun would have some hidden reward!

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of combat boots hitting the ground behind him. Wang Yao turned around and found that behind him were densely packed soldiers from the Seventh Main Force.

"What are you all standing there for? We're about to attack the tower, why don't you quickly gather your troops and prepare to set off?" Looking at the centurions Maomao, Fei Yi, Shi Liang, Xiaoye and others who seemed hesitant to speak, Wang Yao asked in a serious tone.

Of course he knew what the soldiers wanted to do.

In fact, Wang Yao had already thought it through. Instead of hiding Zhao Yun's heroic identity, it would be better to be frank and reveal it early. After all, Zhao Yun's heroic power is indispensable in many cases. If Wang Yao was afraid of being exposed and was afraid to let Zhao Yun play, then why would he work so hard to recruit Zhao Yun?
"Ayao, could that soldier who has been following you be a hero in disguise?" After seeming to hesitate for a while, Maomao finally stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Yes." Wang Yao said bluntly with a faint smile.

This simple sentence caused a huge uproar, and the troops suddenly burst into a loud drumbeat.

"Fuck! Is he really a hero?!"

"So, it turns out that our Shu Kingdom has another hero?!"

"Haha! We actually have a hero in charge of our Seventh Main Force. If we tell others about this, won't it scare the soldiers in other forces?"

"Wait wait wait, I'm a little confused, he just looks like a soldier!"

Facing the noisy soldiers, Wang Yao coughed lightly and said slowly: "Everyone, I have a favor to ask. Just pretend you didn't see what happened just now. Of course, this also includes killing the enemy hero."

As soon as Wang Yao finished speaking, the army suddenly fell into eerie silence. Three seconds later, the soldiers were dumbfounded and stunned.

"How can I pretend I didn't see it?!"

"Boss, I'm still waiting to show off to other troops!"

"unacceptable!!"

In the eyes of the soldiers, killing an enemy hero is an extremely glorious and honorable thing that brings glory to the family. Not letting anyone tell others about it is as difficult as asking them to go hungry and guard a mountain of gold and silver but not be able to spend it!

However, facing the dissatisfied complaints and accusations from the soldiers, Wang Yao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"I'm doing this for your own good. I might as well tell you that the guy is actually an assassin-type hero who kills without spilling blood. For some reason, he doesn't want outsiders to know his identity. If anyone leaks this out, be careful that this guy will tie you up and rip your heart out when you're sleeping in the middle of the night."

“——Eh. Eh?!!”

The entire army of soldiers was suddenly filled with high-pitched strange screams one after another.

Zhao Yun felt like he was on a pirate ship.

"According to the previous battle plan, I was responsible for hiding in the bushes and launching a surprise attack, and you also promised to properly handle issues regarding my identity afterwards. But this is how you repay my trust?" Zhao Yun, who was following behind Wang Yao, had a very ugly expression on his face.

"What's the problem?" Wang Yao looked at Zhao Yun, who was angry for the first time, with amusement. In contrast to his usual frugal appearance, Zhao Yun now seemed much more lively. "Using such nonsensical and childish words to scare the soldiers? Do you think it will work?" Zhao Yun didn't think it was funny.

After staring at the angry Zhao Yun for three seconds, Wang Yao sighed: "I have already written so many nonsense words, do you still want me to continue? You are putting me in an unkind and unjust situation!"

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and waved his hand to interrupt, "Don't talk about useless things!"

"By the way, what do you think of those soldiers?" Wang Yao suddenly looked at Zhao Yun seriously.

Zhao Yun raised his sword-like eyebrows, not understanding what Wang Yao meant by asking this.

Seeing Zhao Yun silent, Wang Yao turned his head and looked deeply at the soldiers who stretched for a hundred meters. In the team, one could see the soldiers' serious marching postures, and also the heartwarming scene of soldiers carrying the wounded soldiers on their backs while running even though they were marching fast.

"I once heard a saying that those who are loyal are usually butchers, and those who are unfaithful are usually scholars. I think this saying is the best way to describe the soldiers. Although they are very weak, they can fight with the heroes without hesitation just for the sake of glory, even if there is a hellish abyss ahead. Like the heroes, they are all born as human beings, but they understand more about friendship and respect."

After a pause, Wang Yao smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "It is indeed as you said. It is indeed childish what I said just now, but believe me, they will not tell anyone."

Zhao Yun was speechless, and just looked at Wang Yao with a complicated expression. After a long while, he suddenly said meaningfully: "Your thoughts are very dangerous."

"What do you mean?" Wang Yao was confused.

But Zhao Yun did not answer, but silently held the quick-strike spear in his hand across his body.

Wang Yao then came to his senses and saw that Wu’s first defense tower had arrived!
Because they were familiar with the experience, the second attack on the enemy's defense tower was much easier than the first attack on Wei's defense tower.

Throughout the whole process, Wang Yao just held the armor-piercing bow from a distance and shot the turret operators on the top of the defense tower one by one, hindering the super firepower of the defense tower to the greatest extent. Then Zhao Yun led the soldiers to charge at the defense tower.

The scary thing about the defense tower is its unlimited firepower. Basically, one shot can wipe out a team of 10 soldiers led by a squad leader. And as the number of shots increases, the power of the defense tower will become stronger and stronger, and in the end it will even develop to the terrifying point where a single shot can wipe out a team of a hundred soldiers!
Therefore, the defense tower has always been a gap that is difficult for the soldiers to cross.

However, without the powerful firepower output, the defense tower is actually just a symbolic towering tower.

Night gradually fell into the canyon, but the dark night sky on the road was still illuminated by the red flames of war. From a distance, it looked like the sunset glow under the setting sun.

With a loud "boom", the towering enemy defense tower finally collapsed under the slashing of densely packed soldiers.

Watching several Wu soldiers who were defending the defense tower screaming and falling from the top of the defense tower along with the debris and rocks, and then being submerged by the blue tide, Wang Yao suddenly felt like he was a bug in this world. In the eyes of the soldiers, the defense tower, which had always been indestructible, has now become a shoddy project that can be destroyed without any effort!

When the enemy's first defense tower collapsed, before the soldiers could cheer, Wang Yao had already ordered: "The main force will rest for three hours. In addition, assemble the special attack team immediately! We must take advantage of the fact that the heroes of Wu have not had time to support the road and destroy the enemy's second defense tower!"

"You're going to destroy Wu's second defense tower?!" Maomao, Shi Liang, Xiaoye, and Fei Yi all looked at Wang Yao in amazement.

In their opinion, being able to destroy the enemy's defense tower with the strength of the soldiers alone without the help of heroes was an unprecedented victory. But what they didn't expect was that the centurion was so greedy that he planned to attack the enemy's second defense tower and only sent a special attack team with only 50 soldiers!

"This is too much!" Maomao was the first to object.

"Should we wait until the large force behind us arrives before making any plans?" Shi Liang and Ono suggested with concern.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, it will be too late if we are any later! You just need to lead the large force to come slowly over to support us from the rear!" Wang Yao remained unmoved, but stared firmly at the front which was gradually sinking into the night.

There was no "breath" of any hero ahead, so Wang Yao was very confident that with just 50 elite soldiers, he could definitely take down the second defense tower of Wu State!
