Chapter 105: Summoning Talisman
Chapter 105: Summoning Talisman
...
Aside from the Tiger King Spear Technique and the Tiger King Art, Li Hu also dropped several other items, among which was a recruitment order that delighted Lu HaiKong.
Elite Bandit Recruitment Order: Usage Conditions, Level 10 Bandit Camp.
This item was incredibly useful to Lu HaiKong, and it was one of the main reasons he had launched the encirclement campaign against the Dark Wind Fort ahead of time.
Lu HaiKong had witnessed the group of bandits Li Hu had brought with him, and although they had fallen into his horse trap and been largely wiped out before even engaging in direct combat, their true combat power had not been fully demonstrated, making them seem rather useless.
However, the fact that each of these bandits had a strength of 20 points was a testament to their formidable fighting capabilities.
With winter approaching, Lu HaiKong urgently needed a cavalry unit, and the Elite Bandit Recruitment Order provided the perfect solution, alleviating his worries.
In addition to the recruitment order, Li Hu also dropped a blueprint for a horse stable, a key to a secret room in the Dark Wind Fort, and a fist-sized crystal-clear stone.
Lu HaiKong picked up the stone and discovered it was called a 'Warrior Soul Stone'.
Warrior Soul Stone:
Obtained with a very small chance from killing commanders with a strength of 70 or above.
Effect: After use, there is a chance to inherit some of the commander's martial arts skills.
(For NPC use only!)
Initially, when Lu HaiKong saw that he could inherit Li Hu's martial arts skills, he considered giving it to Moonie. However, after reading the description, he decided to keep it for himself or find a subordinate to use it.
The other two items had significant long-term benefits for Lu HaiKong's development, and he quickly put them away, along with the key to another treasure that he found lying next to Li Hu, a silver chest that only Lu HaiKong could see, a reward from the system for his exceptional performance.
The silver chest was exquisitely crafted, adorned with intricate dragon and phoenix designs, and Lu HaiKong thought to himself that if he could keep it after opening it, he would place it in his assembly hall to instantly elevate its prestige. As he pondered, he casually opened the chest.
"Opening the silver chest, you obtain 50,000 allocable skill experience and a Summoning Talisman."
The system prompt appeared as he opened the chest, and although there were only two items inside, the value of the silver chest was undeniable.
The 50,000 skill experience from defeating Li Hu, combined with the additional 50,000 experience from the silver chest, totaled 100,000 allocable skill experience—a significant asset. If used wisely, it could not only enhance Lu HaiKong's strength but also allow him to utilize the system's full blood resurrection twice, an invaluable advantage.
The Summoning Talisman was even more astonishing. If there was an in-game auction, Lu HaiKong would willingly put it up for sale, and its value would undoubtedly start at a minimum of 100,000.
Summoning Talisman:
Special Item
After use, there is a chance to attract one to three historical commanders or officials to pledge their allegiance.
The Summoning Talisman's description was brief, but it excited Lu HaiKong immensely. Historical commanders! He had only encountered one, Gao Shun, and had yet to secure his services. This item could potentially attract one to three historical commanders or officials, making it a divine artifact in Lu HaiKong's eyes, something he would not trade for any amount of money.
Upon seeing this item, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate and used it right away.
Lu HaiKong initially thought that with a simple wave of his hand, several commanders would instantly appear before him. But after using it, he realized that the item required some time to take effect.
"You have successfully used the Summoning Talisman. A historical commander has been informed of your message and will arrive at your territory within half a month."
"Half a month? Well, half a month it is. For now, let's focus on dealing with the Dark Wind Fort first."
Lu HaiKong was slightly disappointed that he couldn't see the historical commander immediately, but after a moment's thought, he figured that the commander would arrive sooner or later, and there was no rush at the moment. The most important task was to wrap up the Dark Wind Fort first.
Li Hu's death marked the beginning of the final phase in the annihilation of the Dark Wind Fort, a phase of harvest for Lu HaiKong, but also the most troublesome one.
In the 1619 version of the book, the Dark Wind Fort had only a small fraction of its original strength left. With Li Xiong's assistance, Lu HaiKong found it easy to eliminate the remaining forces. However, transporting the vast amount of wealth and resources from the Dark Wind Fort back to their own camp was a significant challenge.
As Lu HaiKong finished collecting the spoils of war, Wang Ti had already eradicated the small team that Li Hu had brought, gaining a substantial amount of money and secret manuals.
After a quick cleanup of the battlefield, Lu HaiKong led his team, guided by Li Xiong, straight to the heart of the Dark Wind Fort.
Since the Dark Wind Fort was unaware of Li Xiong's betrayal, attacking the main fort was easier than dealing with the auxiliary forts. Led by Li Xiong, Lu HaiKong's group effortlessly infiltrated the heart of the Dark Wind Fort and proceeded directly to the Assembly Hall.
Conquering a camp required fulfilling two conditions. The primary condition was to capture the Assembly Hall and occupy it for one day. If, in addition to capturing the Assembly Hall, the camp leader was also defeated, then occupying the hall for a full day was not necessary, and the camp would be considered conquered.
Following Li Xiong's lead, Lu HaiKong and his companions encountered minimal resistance as they made their way to the Assembly Hall. The fourth elder of the Dark Wind Fort, with a strength value of 57, attempted to stop them. However, without Lu HaiKong even lifting a finger, the elder was swiftly overwhelmed by the combined might of Wang Chao Ma Han and the others.
The fourth elder was quite generous, even in death, as he revealed a secret manual for the advanced inner strength technique, "Fierce Wolf Heart Technique." Lu HaiKong took possession of the manual, intending to distribute rewards to his subordinates after the complete annihilation of the Dark Wind Fort.
During this period, Lu HaiKong had been engaged in numerous battles, accumulating a wealth of valuable items. Although many of these items were not particularly useful to him, they could significantly enhance the strength of his subordinates. Lu HaiKong had long wanted to bestow rewards, and with the Dark Wind Fort's impending defeat, he saw an opportunity to do so.
As Lu HaiKong broke into the Assembly Hall, he initially considered destroying the entire fort. But a sudden flash of inspiration led him to summon Wang Ti, intending to test if the young man could become the new leader of the Dark Wind Fort. If Wang Ti could inherit the fort, the subsequent tasks would become much more manageable...
