Chapter 1108: Reaction
Chapter 1108: Reaction
29th September 2017
The battle on Lu Hai Kong's side had temporarily come to a close.
Even though Du Rouhui's group hadn't given up, and they were still planning an attack on Lingzhi City, with the loss of Pei Yuanying, one of the top Combat Strengths, and with Huang Zhong's side having achieved a breakthrough, Du Rouhui's group was now in a delicate situation.
Without finding a good solution, they wouldn't dare to casually mention an attack. Under these circumstances, the situation beneath Lingzhi City temporarily reached a stalemate.
As the battle beneath Lingzhi City came to a standstill, news of the situation in Lingzhi City spread far and wide through various channels.
In fact, the appearance of the foreign demons had drawn everyone's attention, and during this time, the conflicts across the Great Han Empire had reached their lowest point. Everyone was watching the sudden emergence of foreign demons in Youzhou.
Especially after the fall of Liaoxi and the three counties of Liaodong, the eyes of various powers were fixed there.
There was no choice but to pay attention to what was happening there because it was too terrifying.
The four counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong, with an area of over a million square kilometers and a population of tens of millions, had fallen into the hands of the demons in less than half a month.
The sky over a million square kilometers turned blood-red, and the land under the demons' control became a barren wasteland where nothing grew. Those killed by the demons would turn into malevolent spirits, wandering between life and death.
Such a situation, such an intrusion, was difficult for even Loose Cultivators and Outsiders to accept, let alone the native NPCs.
The events in Youzhou, the appearance of foreign demons, were beyond the rational and scientific understanding of the native NPCs. After all, they lacked scientific rationality, and the most they could assume was that the gates of the Yellow Springs had opened in Youzhou, and evil spirits were emerging from beneath.
Their unique interpretation, however, was a strange coincidence that aligned with reality, as the situation was indeed mostly as they imagined.
After the native NPCs understood the situation in the foreign lands through their logic, they couldn't help but pay attention. Initially, many considered whether to provide support to Youzhou, especially with Liu Yu's continuous pleas for help. So, at the beginning, there were indeed voices advocating for aiding Youzhou.
But as soon as these voices emerged, Lu Hai Kong took direct action.
Lu Hai Kong's intervention directly took over the defense line in Youzhou and fought several impressive battles in a short time.
Lu Hai Kong's prowess once again demonstrated to the world that he was the boss, and no one could fare well against him, be it the various warlords or the malevolent spirits from the Yellow Springs.
Although Lu Hai Kong couldn't prevent the fall of Liaoxi and Liaodong counties, the defense line at Youbeiping County, guarded by him, was impenetrable to the army of malevolent spirits.
Seeing this, it seemed like the crisis might be averted, even though Lu Hai Kong temporarily lacked the ability to counterattack the foreign demons. Still, the foreign demons also seemed unable to expand further.
Some people started to have different thoughts. Since this was the case, why bother supporting Youzhou? Lu Hai Kong was capable, wasn't he? Let him handle it alone.
They took advantage of Lu Hai Kong being pinned down and focused entirely on developing themselves while his attention was on the foreign demons.
Some even had the idea of waiting for Lu Hai Kong and the foreign demons to weaken each other before taking them out. In this environment, no one brought up the topic of supporting Youzhou anymore.
Many powers put on an indifferent attitude and focused on their development, although some were more playful. While vigorously developing and catching up with Lu Hai Kong, they also sent people or supplies to Youzhou.
The people and resources they sent didn't significantly impact the battle, but they did send them. These individuals weren't there to help with the fighting; they were purely there to gain reputation.
However, unlike the indifferent attitude displayed by various powers, the situation in Youzhou quickly spread throughout the Great Han Empire.
Many people outside the government were deeply concerned about the situation in Youzhou. Unlike those serving the powers, they had no ulterior motives, and their worries were genuine.
They had a deeper understanding of the situation and a more profound awareness of the harm caused by the foreign demons than anyone else.
In this situation, they directly expressed their concerns and tried to understand the situation in Youzhou in their way, even offering help.
During this time, many scholars and warlords outside the government chose to head north, and among them were some exceptional individuals. It remained to be seen how many of these talents Lu Hai Kong could attract.
Unlike the low enthusiasm for foreign invasions in the Three Kingdoms world, some in the foreign lands had a great passion for such matters.
In the foreign lands, most environments could be described as 'hellish.'
Liaoxi and Liaodong had just fallen to the foreign demons when, within a few days, they became barren wastelands. The environment in the foreign lands was at least ten times harsher than in Liaodong and Liaoxi.
Not only was there no vegetation, but evil spirits roamed everywhere, and various natural disasters were common. For the foreign demons, survival here was extremely challenging.
Of course, there were some good environments in the foreign lands, but they were few, and only a select few could live in them. Countless forces in the foreign lands were constantly entangled in conflicts over these scarce environments.
The scale of these conflicts far exceeded the battles in the Three Kingdoms or Lu Hai Kong's realm, and they were far more complex.
After all, the forces here were too diverse, with numerous brilliant and ambitious rulers, valiant and skilled warriors everywhere, and countless strategists capable of governing a nation. With such a group of people in one place, one could imagine the scale of the conflicts.
However, these conflicts or peace had nothing to do with Lu Hai Kong, at least not for now.
What concerned Lu Hai Kong was that, at this time, someone had noticed the unusual activities of Du Rouhui's group and the power they belonged to...
