Chapter 4: First Boss Kill, World Announcement

As Lin Yu led the Frost Archers towards the city outskirts, the chaos in the real world gradually subsided.

Most ordinary people remained spectators, some even dismissing the events entirely.

Only a small number of bold individuals had already ventured into the Lord Era ahead of the curve.

In the palaces of various nations, the military also convened meetings and formulated responses to the situation.

In a secret meeting room of a military district in the Dragon Kingdom, thousands of soldiers dressed in crisp uniforms gathered.

"The Lord Era likely marks the beginning of a new era. Based on our current intelligence analysis, it resembles an unknown world akin to an online game."

"The level of danger remains uncertain, as does what may occur."

"You will form the vanguard team and enter the Lord Era first to assess the situation..."

As the voice faded, one by one, the soldiers in the room disappeared.

They had entered the Lord Era.

When faced with the unknown, soldiers always lead from the front lines.

Similar scenes unfolded in various countries across the Blue Star.

In the Lord Era, Lin Yu had successfully left the city with the Frost Archers, heading straight for the depths of the forest.

Don't ask why Lin Yu was in such a hurry.

Do you know how heavy the burden on his shoulders is right now?

Starting with Tier 4 units might seem glorious, but the daily food consumption for a Tier 4 unit is 10 units.

With 50 Tier 5 units, they would need at least 500 units of food every day.

Lin Yu currently only had 10 units of food in his backpack.

It's like a drop in the ocean!

If Lin Yu couldn't acquire 500 units of food before midnight tonight, he might face the embarrassing situation of his units deserting him and being unable to command them tomorrow.

So... time was of the essence!

Just as they entered the forest, Lin Yu encountered the first wave of monsters.

It was a group of green-skinned dwarves wielding clubs.

Upon seeing Lin Yu, they began to growl and snarl.

These were Tier 1 monsters: Goblins.

**[Goblin]**

- Tier: 1

- Race: Orc

- Level: 3

- Health: 160

- Attack Power: 25

- Defense Power: 23

- Speed: 80

- Skill: [Fierce Strike]...

**Description:** The lowest-ranked Orc race on the Lord Continent, small in size, and not very intelligent...

"Kill them all!"

In the next moment, the sound of arrows piercing through the air echoed.

Dozens of arrows, accompanied by a chill wind, flew towards the goblins.

-504

-522

-1035 (Critical Hit)

Dozens of blood-red damage numbers floated up.

Every single goblin was taken down with a single shot.

There was no other way; Lin Yu started with Tier 4 units, boasting an attack power of 250 points.

Furthermore, with a 100% attribute enhancement buff, his attack power soared to 500 points.

The goblins' health was barely reaching two hundred points.

It would be strange if they weren't taken down in one shot!

The battle lasted less than thirty seconds from start to finish.

As a Lord, Lin Yu gained quite a bit of experience from the battle, although he still had a long way to go before leveling up.

As for the Frost Archers, their experience bars also saw a significant increase.

After all, there was a 100% experience bonus in effect.

"Let's continue deeper!" Lin Yu thought to himself.

With a wave of his hand, he led the Frost Archers towards the depths of the map.

Along the way, they encountered many monsters.

Tier 1 goblins, jumping worms, small grass creatures.

Tier 2 magic wolves, raging boars, man-eating plants.

Tier 3 fire toads, ghost crows...

None of them were a match for the Frost Archers.

They were effortlessly swept aside.

During this process, Lin Yu's level increased from 1 to 3, with a slight improvement in attributes.

This was the advantage of being a Lord; the experience gained from his units killing monsters would automatically be shared among them.

Although the numbers weren't high, the quantity of monsters killed was immense!

After several rounds of battles, the rewards were substantial.

...

Time flew by, and two hours had passed.

Lin Yu and the 50 Frost Archers had slain many monsters.

With a 100% experience boost in effect,

Lin Yu's level had reached 6.

The average level of the 50 Frost Archers had also reached 4.

The 100% experience boost significantly accelerated the leveling speed of the units.

Perfect!

At this moment, Lin Yu and the Frost Archers stopped in the jungle.

They had found their target for this journey.

It was a tree towering over thirty meters high, with a trunk requiring six people to encircle.

It was also a treant boss.

[Treant Boss]

- Level: 20

- Health: 1 million

- Attack Power: 300

- Defense Power: 350

- Speed: 110

**Skills:**

**[Vine Entanglement]:** Swing the vines on the body to entangle enemies, restricting their movements.

**[Green Leaf Blades]:** Shake the leaves on the branches to transform them into flying blades, causing damage to surrounding enemies.

**[Bark Armor]:** Increases defense power by 1.5 times and restores 0.5% of health every second, lasting for one minute.

When a tree that has lived for hundreds of years gains sentience...

That's the description of the Treant Boss's attributes.

With a level of 20, its health reaches a whopping 1 million.

It's considered the weakest of bosses.

But even so, in the previous era, it took a hundred lords teaming up, with thousands of Tier 1 and Tier 2 units, to take down the Treant Boss in Starfall City.

Lin Yu started with Tier 4 units, albeit in small numbers.

But with a 100% buff to all attributes, it was worth a try.

Whether he could become even more powerful depended on this moment.

"Spread out, find cover, and wait for my command," Lin Yu ordered solemnly.

The most troublesome aspects of the Treant Boss were its Vine Entanglement and Green Leaf Blades.

The former controlled, and the latter inflicted damage.

Once entangled, even Tier 4 units wouldn't last long.

So, the best way to deal with the Treant Boss was to find cover for the units.

For example, the surrounding large trees.

They were natural cover.

They could dodge the vines and the flying blades.

The 50 Frost Archers quickly spread out and took cover behind the trees.

When Lin Yu saw the opportunity, he immediately ordered an attack.

Swoosh!

Dozens of arrows flew out and landed on the Treant Boss.

-365

-322

-351

A series of damage numbers popped up.

The Treant Boss winced in pain, awakening from its slumber.

The rough surface of its trunk revealed an elderly face.

It looked terrifyingly grotesque.

Then, the Treant Boss began to retaliate.

Vines and green leaf blades kept flying out.

Lin Yu had been paying attention to the Treant Boss's movements all along.

Whenever he saw the vines or the green leaf blades, he would order the Frost Archers to evade.

Repeatedly, the Frost Archers dodged safely.

They found openings to deal damage, causing the Treant Boss's health to plummet rapidly.

Occasionally, they froze or slowed down the Treant Boss, rendering it unable to move.

After more than ten minutes of battle, they finally depleted the Treant Boss's health without much trouble.

With a scream, the Treant Boss fell to the ground.

Several orbs of light burst out from its body.

At the same time, a world announcement resounded throughout the server.

[The Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, [Tyrant], has killed the Treant Boss, obtaining the first kill. Rewards: Basic resources * 5, Tier 3 unit treasure chests * 5, Platinum-grade equipment treasure chests * 2, Altar Stones * 10, Technology Essence * 100,000.]

[The Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, [Tyrant], has killed...]
