Chapter 1059: Intelligence (Thank you to 'Lonely Soul Seeking Beauty' for the 10,000 reward support!)

Xun You was undoubtedly exceptional.
His personal involvement in the interrogation of the Malevolent Spirit yielded the information he sought and needed, which he then organized and presented to Lu Hai Kong.
However, after learning this information, Lu Hai Kong's mood did not lighten due to his control over the intelligence; instead, his brows furrowed even deeper.
Admittedly, facing an unknown opponent can be terrifying, but sometimes, knowing your enemy's intelligence doesn't bring much joy either. Lu Hai Kong was currently in such a state.
From the intelligence Xun You gathered, Lu Hai Kong roughly understood the true strength of the foreign demons invading Youzhou.
Although Lu Hai Kong had an inkling from the start that the foreign demons wouldn't be weak, and he anticipated a tough battle ahead, he never imagined they would be that formidable.
According to Xun You's intelligence, the invading foreign demons were divided into three levels, or more accurately, three categories.
The weakest were called Crimson Demons, a level considered cannon fodder among the foreign demons. Most of the hundred thousand invading foreign demons were of this cannon fodder type.
However, the fact that the majority were cannon fodder wasn't good news, as these so-called cannon fodder possessed a strength ranging from 40 to 50, along with special abilities, making them essentially templates for advanced troops. This meant all hundred thousand foreign demons were advanced troops.
This was insanely powerful, and Lu Hai Kong didn't even have a hundred thousand advanced troops under his command! And these were just the foreign demons' cannon fodder!
Above the Crimson Demons were two more levels: Blood Demons and Demon Generals.
Blood Demons were evolved from Crimson Demons, with a strength ranging from 60 to 89, and they possessed special abilities. This class made up a significant portion of the hundred thousand-strong demon legion, possibly even one-tenth.
This level was essentially the middle to upper echelon of the army, equivalent to the foreign demons' generals. While their strength wasn't extraordinarily high, their proportion was astonishing. A one-tenth ratio of generals was something even Lu Hai Kong, with his Fire Camp, wouldn't dare to emulate.
Above the Blood Demons were the Demon Generals, and the Malevolent Spirit Lu Hai Kong had subdued belonged to this level.
When it first descended, its strength was 90, and it had been continuously increasing through slaughter. By the time Lu Hai Kong suppressed it, its strength was nearly a hundred, and this wasn't even its peak. According to Xun You's intelligence, Blood Demon Generals could temporarily boost their strength to over a hundred, and there were five of them among the enemy forces.
In other words, Lu Hai Kong was about to face an enemy with ninety thousand advanced troops, ten thousand demon generals, five with strength over a hundred, and possibly an even more terrifying entity!
This force almost rivaled, if not surpassed, the power Lu Hai Kong currently possessed.
It was understandable why Lu Hai Kong's mood wasn't great after learning about his opponent's intelligence. Anyone facing such an enemy would feel the same.
However, Xun You didn't just uncover depressing information from the Malevolent Spirit; he also extracted valuable intelligence, such as the locations of the three Mystic Gates within Bingzhou.
This was of utmost importance to Lu Hai Kong, as he didn't want his base to be taken while he was fighting the foreign demons in Youzhou.
Upon learning that there were Mystic Gates in his territory, Lu Hai Kong sprang into action. With just one order, all three Mystic Gates were located within less than a day.
After all, Bingzhou was entirely under Lu Hai Kong's control, and with countless resources at his disposal, finding the three Mystic Gates whose approximate locations he already knew was a straightforward task.
However, discovering the Mystic Gates didn't guarantee a worry-free situation, as they weren't easy to destroy.
Lu Hai Kong had destroyed one, but only because it was in Bei Feng City, within the range of the Imperial Ancestral Cauldron's power.
Far from Bei Feng City and without the support of the Imperial Ancestral Cauldron, destroying the three Mystic Gates wouldn't be a simple task.
According to Xun You's intelligence, unless one possesses a special method, it would require at least five individuals with a Martial General Trait exceeding 100 to continuously attack for over an hour to destroy one of these Mystic Gates.
Currently, Lu Hai Kong has only managed to secure three Mystic Gates, and destroying them will require further preparation.
In addition to the locations of the Mystic Gates, Xun You also obtained some crucial information about the Foreign Demons. Several pieces of this information are of utmost importance to Lu Hai Kong and his group.
Xun You learned from the Malevolent Spirit that although the Foreign Demons are powerful, they are not without restrictions in this world.
Upon entering this world, aside from the Blood Demon General, the rest of the Foreign Demons cannot venture too far from the Mystic Gates.
Once they exceed a certain distance from the Mystic Gates, the Crimson Demons and Blood Demons can only survive for a maximum of one day before facing death or forced repatriation. Even the more powerful Blood Demon General can only endure for three months, and their strength will gradually diminish during this period.
This news was a relief for Lu Hai Kong, as it meant the Foreign Demons would be unable to expand.
However, Xun You quickly dashed Lu Hai Kong's hopes by explaining that while the Foreign Demons cannot venture too far from the Mystic Gates and are confined to a certain distance, this distance can gradually expand.
In the words of the Malevolent Spirit, any land stained red with blood will become their paradise.
The speed at which the blood-red sky spreads is directly related to the time they have spent in this world and the number of living beings they have slaughtered. The more they kill, the wider their range of activity becomes.
Furthermore, those killed by the Foreign Demons have a chance of becoming Zombies, mindless creatures driven solely by bloodlust.
Although these Zombies are not particularly powerful, they possess a unique ability to move outside the blood-red sky's coverage. Those killed by them also have a chance of being assimilated, and more importantly, their killings contribute to the expansion of the blood-red sky.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Hai Kong's expression changed instantly.
He immediately instructed Xun You to organize the information about the Foreign Demons and send it to Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu as soon as possible.
