Several dozen militiamen, under the relentless attacks of the bandits’ coordinated slashing, were thrown several meters away, spitting blood.

"Leader! We... we seem to be unable to hold on!"

Among the bandits, there were also several gamer characters who reveled in the life of mountain bandits, enjoying feasts and abducting women.

These gamer characters had long joined or established their own mountain bandit forces.

"Haha! I just killed another one! Brothers, put in more effort, and soon we can enjoy the women!" one of the bandits shouted.

"Howl, howl, howl..."

The bandits emitted eerie and horrifying sounds.

Boom!

Bang!

Plop...

A massive stone was swiftly hurled from a distance, crashing down like a meteor, directly toppling hundreds of bandits.

The militiamen, originally filled with despair, suddenly regained hope.

Looking back, a giant and robust figure appeared in their field of vision.

This person was about eight to nine feet tall, equivalent to approximately two meters according to modern standards.

The militiamen’s desperate gazes were now filled with hope.

Turning around to see, a gigantic and muscular figure emerged.

This man, about eight to nine feet tall, with muscles like solid rocks, was unyielding and invincible.

He lifted a massive stone, turning it into his weapon, resembling a grenade, and crazily smashed it toward the bandits surging up the city walls.

"It’s Brother Xu! Brother Xu is back! We’re saved!"

The militiamen were overjoyed and tearful.

"Zhongkang, where did you just go? It’s been so long, and we were so worried!"

Xu Chu scratched his head with a foolish smile, "My arrows were used up, and the blades became dull, so I went to the mountains to find some massive stones..."

"Well done!"

The militiamen praised one after another, their eyes showing admiration.

Implicitly, Xu Chu became their leader.

With Xu Chu’s arrival, the militiamen quickly regained confidence and continued to fight against the bandits, driving the surging tide of bandits down.

Seeing heavy casualties and the restored morale of the militia on the city wall, the bandit leader, suppressing his anger, uttered slowly, "Sound the horn, retreat!"

With this command, the densely packed bandits withdrew from the city wall, breathing sighs of relief.

It wasn’t that they lacked courage; it was just that Xu Chu was too ferocious. The boulder, larger than a house, thrown by him was like cotton, ruthlessly descending upon them.

Who could withstand such a thing? Their souls were almost scared away, let alone engaging in battle!

Several mountain bandits, terrified, quickly shared information about Xu Chu in the Yu Province chat room and game forums.

"Brothers, today you almost didn’t see me!"

"What happened, what happened?" Many onlookers popped up.

"In one sentence, I encountered a formidable person, estimated to be a four-star general, or even a five-star divine general!"

"Bragging! How could it be so easy to encounter such a character? I haven’t even encountered a two-star general until now. You’re lucky to encounter a four-star general... (doubtful)"

"No kidding, brothers! Stop talking and directly post pictures and videos!"

The mountain bandits directly threw the video they had just recorded onto the forum, creating ripples like a big stone thrown into calm water.

Lines of green subtitles appeared, all from the front-line players of "Great Lord," the game’s early pioneers!

"I’m amazed! So brave! I won’t say more; I’m on my way from Yanzhou. Don’t compete with me for this formidable person!"

"Yanzhou is right next to Yu Province, rushing over might still be possible. But I’m in Youzhou, how can I come over? Sob, sob, sob... I also want a four-star famous general!"

No wonder everyone was so eager for a four-star famous general!

In "Great Lord," with a large player population and limited famous generals, each one was an unparalleled formidable character. Obtaining a four-star famous general, or even a five-star one, could rival a million soldiers!

After Xu Chu’s strength was exposed on the game forum, numerous players from nearby provinces flocked to Yu Province.

Even some weaker players came over to join the excitement, harboring a bit of luck in their hearts, thinking that maybe this formidable person liked a lord like themselves?

Therefore, over the next few days, tens of thousands of players arrived, gathering in Ruyang County.

On the teahouse rooftop, one could hear discussions among players about Xu Chu.

"I heard that the formidable person is named Xu Chu, with the courtesy name Zhongkang, over eight feet tall, born with extraordinary strength! Unstoppable! Last time, those tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans retreated because they feared his terrifying strength!"

"Now Xu Chu has become the target of major alliances! Especially the ’Wind Rules the World,’ from Yu Province. After all, Yu Province is their home province, and other major alliances also desire Xu Chu."

"However, Yu Province is not their native province, so this advantage is relatively diminished! But they also sent their representatives."

During their conversation, a legion with about five thousand troops entered Ruyang County.

"Whose army is this? How can it enter the city?" a game player questioned.

"Unless it’s someone with a high official position or title in the Han court, at least a general-level character, can they receive such special treatment!"

Everyone looked, and they saw a prominent "dragon" written on the frontmost flag!

A general in the Han court with the surname Long?

Never heard of it!

But this army was indeed an elite among elites.

Their footsteps were firm, and their killing intent soared, exuding a powerful aura.

In front of the army was a young general riding a pure white horse, wearing silver armor draped over his body. On his right shoulder was even a qilin head, a magnificent and awe-inspiring figure!

If it wasn’t for Long Chen, who could it be?

The silver qilin armor was specially taken from the Yu Province military arsenal by Wang Yun. It was of a purple-grade quality, second only to orange and gold grades, a rare top-quality armor.

Of course, it was undoubtedly not as good as the beast-face swallowing head armor worn by Lu Bu...

The surrounding foreign players still tried to observe Long Chen’s attribute panel through the system.

However, the response they received was: "Ding! This is a game player, not open to investigation..."

"What!!? Are you kidding me?"

"A game player has become a general in the Han Dynasty?"

"Areyoukiddingme (Are you kidding me)?"

"This guy is really something..."

.....

At Gepo.

Tens of thousands of bandits were preparing for a final fight!

The food on the mountain was running out, and if they couldn’t defeat the Xu family village this time, they would have nothing to eat.

Therefore, this battle was a matter of life and death for the bandits, and each one of them put in their utmost effort!

Without breaking the Xu family village, there would be no turning back!

On the fortress of the Xu family village, Xu Chu, with fierce tiger eyes, stood tall, over eight feet in height, with a waist size of ten, a vigorous appearance, and unparalleled strength.

Beside him were placed large boulders, each the size of a residential house, causing fear to dissipate.

"Humph! Fellow villagers, don’t be afraid! With me, Xu Chu, here, these bandits won’t be able to attack!"
