Chapter 1300: Responding to the Threat
December 12, 2017
With the recent omen as a catalyst, the dormant giant awakened once more, unleashing the terrifying power it had accumulated over the years!
After a long silence, its roar shook the heavens!
Lu Hai Kong's true strength was revealed, sending shockwaves throughout the Three Kingdoms world.
Lu Hai Kong's power was no longer merely that of a hegemon within the Three Kingdoms; even in the realm Beyond the Borders, he would be a dominant force to be reckoned with.
Such formidable individuals usually kept a low profile, but in times like these, their actions exposed their true might to the world.
First among them was their elite martial prowess. Lu Hai Kong's strategy was to disrupt the descent of the Foreign Demons, preventing their battlefield from taking root in his territory.
As soon as the omens appeared, they sprang into action. Groups of Wanderers from the House of Outsiders, accompanied by fierce generals under Lu Hai Kong with Strength Values over 90, swiftly set out for the Demon Landing Sites where the omens had been detected.
Their mission was to disrupt the demon landings, and Lu Hai Kong spared no expense in deploying his forces. Even Huang Zhong, a general with a Strength Value over 100, and Xun You, renowned for his unmatched strategic mind, personally joined the efforts. Dozens of generals with Strength Values over 90 were mobilized, a lineup that left the various warlords in awe.
Although generals with Strength Values of 90 were no longer an extreme rarity, with many warlords possessing several such individuals, none could match Lu Hai Kong's ability to casually deploy dozens of them without a second thought. Even the total number of generals with Strength Values over 90 openly serving under Lu Hai Kong likely exceeded those mobilized by all other warlords combined!
However, despite the awe-inspiring lineup, they failed to accomplish their true objective. Despite deploying dozens of individuals with Strength Values over 90, they were unable to resolve the Demon Landing Sites, and even Xun You's involvement yielded no different result.
His unmatched strategic mind could not devise a way to disrupt the Demon Landing Sites, and his sole insight was that this demon descent was irreversible and could not be stopped.
In this situation, Xun You and his team had no choice but to retreat and prepare for the next step.
Xi Zhi Cai and his team had spent years in meticulous preparation, considering every possible scenario. The inability to disrupt the Demon Landing Sites was anticipated, and they were ready with Lu Hai Kong's even more formidable military might.
There were seven Demon Landing Sites, four large and three small. The larger ones were located near the outskirts of Ironblood City, the outskirts of Luoyang City in the Capital Military Camp, near Lingzhi City in Youzhou, and on the border of Yunchong Prefecture in Bingzhou.
The three smaller sites were situated near Huaxia City and Beifeng City. These seven Demon Landing Sites were spread across Lu Hai Kong's territory, covering the south, north, east, and west.
Since they couldn't destroy the Demon Landing Sites before the descent of the Foreign Demons, Lu Hai Kong had no choice but to deploy heavy troops and wait in a defensive formation.
The four larger Demon Landing Sites were relatively easier to handle. Wang Ti's legion guarded Luoyang, while Chen Yi's legion was stationed at Ironblood City, also known as the City Beyond the Borders. Meng Chao and Zhang ManCheng's legions were dispatched to Lingzhi City and Yunchong Prefecture, respectively.
Do not underestimate these four legions; in the past few years, they had grown exponentially stronger, thanks to the Talent Tower.
Over the course of four years, with the support of the Talent Tower,
With Lu Hai Kong's 2 billion funds, the Fire Battalion could be said to be a breeding ground for talents. Every month, a large number of outstanding individuals graduated from the battalion and were integrated into the four major legions.
Additionally, with Lu Hai Kong's strategy of strengthening the army, those with strength below 40 were reassigned to local counties. Now, the four legions, whether it be their generals or martial warriors, were all at the pinnacle of power.
It could be said that any one of these legions could conquer the world. Even if they faced Wang Ti's army or Zhang ManCheng's three armies, they would undoubtedly emerge victorious!
The four terrifying legions, coupled with the continuous supply of equipment from the Blacksmith and Carpentry Workshops, and Lu Hai Kong's system city network, made it highly probable that any side could withstand the invasion of the foreign demons.
However, despite this, Xi Zhi Cai had taken extra precautions and implemented multiple layers of insurance.
Various resources were mobilized, and hidden trump cards were revealed even before the battle commenced.
As Xi Zhi Cai and his team prepared, the terrifying might of Lu Hai Kong's forces was unveiled to the world, revealing just a glimpse of their true power.
When the various warlords, who had been closely observing Lu Hai Kong's every move, witnessed this, they couldn't help but gasp in awe.
Even though they had always known of Lu Hai Kong's formidable strength, they never imagined it to be this overwhelming.
The more powerful Lu Hai Kong became, the more silent the warlords grew at this moment.
Although it was evident to everyone that this foreign invasion was far more serious than the previous minor skirmishes, and even Lu Hai Kong's formidable presence might not be enough to guarantee victory, no warlord stepped forward to offer assistance.

The human heart is always complex, especially in times of danger.
Despite the perilous situation, no one dared to act rashly.
Given Lu Hai Kong's overwhelming strength, the warlords' thoughts became even more intricate. The more critical the situation, the more cautious they were about taking any action.
Whether they harbored dark intentions, hoping for a mutual destruction between Lu Hai Kong and the foreign demons, or had more optimistic ideas, they all remained silent at this juncture.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong had never relied on the support of these warlords, and even if they offered assistance, it might not be accepted.
In such a perilous environment, Lu Hai Kong could only trust his own people. The warlords were merely pawns in Lu Hai Kong's strategy to maintain stability in the Three Kingdoms.
Interestingly, while the warlords remained silent, there were voices rising from the common people of the Three Kingdoms.
Numerous ambitious and passionate individuals spontaneously headed towards Lu Hai Kong's side.
Even more intriguing was the situation with the two young boys who had recently arrived in Luoyang by horse-drawn carriage. After spending some time sightseeing in Luoyang, they had planned to part ways, but this sudden incident caused them to change their minds and head north together with their carriage driver.
