Chapter 1240: Beast Slave Order
November 12, 2017
Yanzhou, Chenliu.
Although Cao Cao did not send troops to aid Yuan Hong, he was keenly interested in the situation on Yuan Hong's side.
After all, they were right next to each other, and if Yuan Hong couldn't hold out, and the Beast Tide headed south, he would be the first to suffer.
So, while Cao Cao was focusing a significant amount of his forces on exploring the mountains within Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and half of Yuzhou, to prevent any unexpected Beast Tides, he was also keeping a close eye on Yuan Hong's situation.
Cao Cao not only paid attention but also gritted his teeth and redeployed an elite force to the border of Yanzhou. Although it was a strain to redeploy elite troops at this time, he had no choice but to do so.
Cao Cao needed this force as a contingency. If the situation in Jizhou became unbearable, he would have to immediately march his army there.
After all, he was well aware of the dire situation in Jizhou. If the Beast Tide swept through, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, under no circumstances could Cao Cao allow the war against the Beasts to take place on his own territory.
However, despite Cao Cao's extensive preparations, he considered them merely backup plans. After all, Lu Hai Kong had already taken action, and logically, there shouldn't be anything else for him to do.
Although Lu Hai Kong's forces were clearly taking advantage of the chaos, Cao Cao believed that they would not idly stand by and watch Yuan Hong's demise.
In fact, Lu Hai Kong was not solely focused on taking advantage of the chaos and ignoring Yuan Hong's plight. While Meng Chao's army was indeed there to exploit the situation and had no intention of doing anything else, it didn't mean Lu Hai Kong would let Yuan Hong be wiped out by the Beast Tide.
In addition to Meng Chao's army, Lu Hai Kong had also deployed the Black Wind and Iron Blood cavalry units.
Unlike Meng Chao's army, which was solely focused on taking advantage of the chaos, these two cavalry units were specifically targeting the Beasts. Furthermore, Lu Hai Kong himself had personally joined this operation, and not just his troops.
Of course, everyone knew that Lu Hai Kong was the type to wait for the rabbit to appear before releasing the eagle, especially since Princess San had just given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. Without some benefit, he wouldn't have personally joined this operation, as his priority at this time was undoubtedly his newborn daughter.
The reason Lu Hai Kong reluctantly left his daughter and joined this operation was that he saw the potential benefits this Beast Tide could bring him!
Previously, when Lu Hai Kong opened a treasure chest, he accidentally obtained a Beast Slave Order. This item was incredibly useful; in its initial state, it could control 100 Beasts with abilities below 90, and if used well, it could even create a terrifying Monster Legion.
The only slight dissatisfaction Lu Hai Kong had was that the Beast Slave Order had restrictions on its use. Currently, only he himself could be recognized as the master of the order. Left with no other choice, Lu Hai Kong had to leave his two treasures behind and lead the Black Wind Legion and several of his generals into battle.
After all, if he could create a powerful Monster Legion...
If Lu Hai Kong could resist the Foreign Demons, it would be a tremendous help in the fight against them in the coming years.
In fact, Lu Hai Kong and his group arrived early, even before Meng Chao's army entered Ji Province. They had entered the province ahead of time, keeping their movements discreet.
However, their actions were hidden, and Yuan Hong was being overwhelmed by the Aberrant Beasts in Changshan County, Zhao Kingdom, Zhongshan Commandery, and Juelu Commandery, so he was unaware that Lu Hai Kong had already arrived with his men.
It was even less likely for Yuan Hong to know that Lu Hai Kong had already helped him deal with over a thousand Aberrant Beasts during this time in Ji Province.
Of course, a thousand Aberrant Beasts seemed like a significant number, but compared to the nearly ten thousand Aberrant Beasts in the army, it was not much. After all, Yu Jin, despite failing to defend Juelu, had managed to kill nearly ten thousand Aberrant Beasts in just five days. Therefore, Yuan Hong truly had no sense of Lu Hai Kong's presence or his growing power.
At this moment, the Aberrant Beast army had set its sights on the area between Anping Kingdom and Bohai Prefecture.
Yuan Hong had estimated that he had deployed five hundred thousand troops in these two prefectures, setting up two super defense lines. He frantically sent various strategies to these defense lines while also mobilizing the private armies of the aristocratic clans within his territory.
Furthermore, to stop this terrifying Monster Army, Yuan Hong even reached out to the Wanderers, a group he usually avoided, offering a large number of Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, Equipment, and Artifacts as incentives to hire them to work for him and help block the Aberrant Beast army.
Yuan Hong not only focused on defense but also made efforts on the offensive.
Through his observations of the Aberrant Beast army, he keenly sensed that this Beast Tide was clearly stimulated by something or was entirely in pursuit of something.
Although this was just Yuan Hong's speculation, the various signs indicated that his guess was likely correct. With this in mind, he had an idea.

As long as he could find what the Aberrant Beast army was pursuing, he could put an end to this Beast Tide.
Taking a step back, even if he couldn't stop the Beast Tide, as long as he could control what the Aberrant Beast army was pursuing, he could at least divert the disaster.
Yuan Hong was a man of action, and he immediately put his idea into motion. While resisting the Beast Tide's onslaught, he also sought help from the top experts in the Wanderer community, asking them to find and capture the target of the Aberrant Beast army.
Finding the target of the Aberrant Beast army was no easy task, and Yuan Hong put in a lot of effort in this regard, even using a precious One-Time Consumable.
Yuan Hong's efforts paid off as he easily obtained the location of the Aberrant Beast army's target using the One-Time Consumable. The top experts in the Wanderer community and Yuan Hong's elite subordinates immediately set out to capture the target.
As the experts pursued the Aberrant Beast army's target, Yuan Hong, who had not slept for several days and nights, turned his gaze towards Bingzhou. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Lu Hai Kong, you're taking advantage of the chaos, aren't you? I'll send you a big gift!"
