Chapter 1372: Ten Years (Part 2)
January 18, 2018
Beyond the World, Xi Chu, Peng Cheng!
Upon returning from the training ground, Xiang Yu finally encountered the visitors from Xianyang within the palace. As he laid eyes on them, his brows furrowed, for their presence was somewhat unexpected.
There were two visitors from Xianyang, and besides Li Si, there was another person who surprised Xiang Yu—none other than 'Qin Mu', who had once stirred up the Three Kingdoms world.
As a world-class intelligence broker, Qin Mu might be a welcomed guest among other Beyond World forces, but he wasn't as well-received within top-tier powers like Xi Chu and the Great Qin. Hence, Xiang Yu never imagined he would meet Qin Mu in the palace, and certainly not under these circumstances.
"How did he end up here!"
Noticing Xiang Yu's slight frown, Li Si immediately explained, "This is Mr. Qin Mu, a man who has been an informant in that world for ten years. He has a thorough understanding of its development during this time. He's here today to brief you on the changes that have occurred in that world over the past decade!"
Although Xiang Yu heard Li Si's explanation, he still didn't give Qin Mu a warm reception. "It's just a minor Three Kingdoms world. If not for its protection, I would have destroyed it long ago. What could have possibly changed in ten years? Could Lu Hai Kong have become so powerful that he can overturn the world?"
"Whether Lu Hai Kong can overturn the world or not, I don't know. But I believe that if he wishes to do so, it wouldn't be a difficult task for him," Qin Mu replied with a smile.
Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, ready to teach this arrogant man a lesson, but Qin Mu spoke first, "As far as I know, Lu Hai Kong is preparing to counterattack the Beyond World from the Three Kingdoms world!"
"Counterattack the Beyond World?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu, who was about to reprimand Qin Mu, froze. After a moment of silence, he burst into laughter, but his laughter couldn't hide the anger that everyone could sense.
"Does Lu Hai Kong think he can counterattack the Beyond World just like that? Did the battle ten years ago give him some false sense of confidence?"
Xiang Yu spoke in a calm tone, but the more composed he sounded, the more Li Si's scalp tingled. He could sense the palpable killing intent emanating from Xiang Yu, while Qin Mu remained unperturbed.
"Whether it's a false sense of confidence or not, I believe you'll be able to judge after seeing this. This is a recording from three years ago, during the grand military parade in Luoyang City," Qin Mu said as he took out a black crystal and handed it to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's brows furrowed, hesitating for a moment before finally waving his hand and slapping the black crystal in mid-air.
As his palm struck, the black crystal activated, emitting a burst of black light. Simultaneously, deafening cheers erupted from within the crystal, and a holographic image appeared above it.
The perspective of the image captured by the black crystal was clearly a bird's-eye view.
The holographic image revealed a majestic city before them.
On the city walls stood rows of elite soldiers, while below, a sea of commoners gathered like mountains and oceans, their cheers filling the air.
The black crystal stone's functions were incredibly powerful. Through the holographic projection, Xiang Yu and Li Si could clearly observe the details of the soldiers and civilians.
The clothing of the civilians provided a general idea of their standard of living, and their expressions revealed their patriotism and loyalty to their country.
Just from these two aspects, they could envision a powerful nation with immense unity and strength!
However, neither Xiang Yu nor Li Si paid much attention to the civilians. Their focus was primarily on the soldiers, as they posed the greatest threat and were the biggest obstacle to their plan of conquering the Three Kingdoms world.
And they soon realized that the threat these soldiers posed was not to be underestimated.
The crystal stone's capabilities allowed Xiang Yu to estimate the strength of the soldiers on the city walls.
If his observation was correct, the average strength of these soldiers was at least 45.
While a strength of 45 was far from impressive compared to the average strength of 60 for the Beyond World Demons, one couldn't judge solely by appearances. Although these soldiers had a strength of only 45, they were not to be underestimated. In addition to their strength, they were also equipped with top-notch gear!
A soldier with a strength of 45, equipped with elite-level gear, could stand toe-to-toe with a demon of strength 60.
With an army of millions of such soldiers, the Three Kingdoms would prove to be a formidable challenge.
As Xiang Yu's attention was fixed on the soldiers on the city walls, the cheers suddenly intensified. At that moment, the gates of Luoyang City opened, and legions upon legions marched out.
Leading the procession was a black-clad infantry unit of around twenty thousand soldiers, each one an elite warrior.
This infantry unit boasted a strength of 55 for every soldier, and their equipment was all of the highest caliber, making them an incredibly formidable force.
Upon seeing this infantry unit, Xiang Yu's eyebrows furrowed, but before he could react further, more legions emerged.
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Black Demon Army, Iron Blood Cavalry, Black Wind Legion, Heavy Armor Guards, and Charging Legion...
One by one, the finest legions under Lu Hai Kong's command marched out. Some were legions he had cultivated from the very beginning, while others were incorporated from various warlords. Among them, Meng Hu's Elephant Legion could also be spotted.
With each new legion that appeared, Xiang Yu's expression grew darker. He was well aware that every legion present possessed the strength of the top legions from Beyond World.
Especially the Charging Legion, which was the last to appear, caught Xiang Yu's attention. His eyes gleamed with determination as he recognized their power.
He knew that even though this Charging Legion might not surpass the strength of his own cavalry, they were undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.
However, just as Xiang Yu's focus was entirely on this Charging Legion, the scene on the black crystal stone suddenly changed.
The cheering civilians, the grand ceremony, and the formidable legions all vanished, replaced by a serene face and a pair of golden eyes.
Immediately, the black crystal stone shattered, indicating that Lu Hai Kong had discovered Qin Mu's surveillance...
