Chapter 1389: Conquering Six Cities
Beyond the world, Bright City!
After the purification of Bright City, under Lu Hai Kong's leadership, the Cross-Domain Gate opened wide, and wave after wave of soldiers emerged from it.
As the soldiers kept arriving, Bright City, which had become quiet due to the expulsion of the extra-dimensional demons, gradually became bustling again.
Under the officers' command, the soldiers began cleaning up Bright City and setting up defenses.
In addition to the soldiers, numerous craftsmen also followed, starting to modify and improve Bright City.
After all, the original Bright City was a typical demon city, and although it housed several hundred thousand extra-dimensional demons, only those who had reached the Blood Demon level possessed intelligence. The remaining several hundred thousand Crimson Demons were almost like beasts, and in some aspects, they might even be inferior to animals.
Under such circumstances, the construction of a demon city would undoubtedly differ vastly from that of a human city. In Lu Hai Kong's eyes, Bright City was less like a city and more like a beast's lair.
Lu Hai Kong's task was to transform this place, originally inhabited by extra-dimensional demons, into a military fortress.
He needed barracks, supply depots, training grounds, and most importantly, he needed to enhance the city's defense system.
After capturing Bright City, Lu Hai Kong had learned about its situation. He found that the city walls were sturdy, but the city's defense facilities were not ideal.
It was easy to understand; after all, over eighty to ninety percent of these extra-dimensional demons were like wild beasts. Such beings wouldn't be able to create any decent city defense mechanisms, let alone use them effectively.
On Lu Hai Kong's side, after ten years, the Ironsmith Army and the Woodworker Army had risen to the military rank. Apart from occasionally participating in city construction, they devoted almost all their efforts to developing war machines.
Currently, Lu Hai Kong had nothing but an abundance of siege and defensive equipment.
In just one day, the Cross-Domain Gate had disgorged a hundred thousand soldiers, and Bright City had been transformed into a formidable military fortress.
While Lu Hai Kong was fortifying Bright City, Huang Zhong, sent by Lu Hai Kong to attack nearby demon cities, had already achieved his objectives.
Sitting in Bright City, Lu Hai Kong, though not physically present, was immediately informed of their success through the system as soon as they accomplished their goals.
At this moment, six system prompts quietly appeared on Lu Hai Kong's system interface.
"Your subordinate Huang Zhong has successfully destroyed Prosperous City Demon Fort (City Lord Li Zicheng). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
"Your subordinate Huang Zhong has successfully destroyed Tranquil City Demon Fort (City Lord Hong Xiuquan). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
"Your subordinate Dian Wei has successfully destroyed Western Liang City Demon Fort (City Lord Xiao Cha). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
"Your subordinate Dian Wei has successfully destroyed Later Jin City Demon Fort (City Lord Shi Jingtang). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
"Your subordinate Lu Bu has successfully destroyed Later Zhou City Demon Fort (City Lord Guo Wei). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
The system notification arrived: "Your subordinate Lu Bu has successfully destroyed the Later Shu Demon Fort (City Lord Meng Zhixiang). In this battle, you have obtained five Myth Chests and 50 Heaven-Earth Blessings!"
Six system notifications arrived one after another, and with each city conquered, Lu Hai Kong received one.
Upon seeing these six system notifications, Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but grin widely. Although none of the six demon cities offered the Heaven-Earth Chest reward, each still provided five Myth Chests. Moreover, due to the destruction of the cities, Lu Hai Kong reaped a substantial harvest of Heaven-Earth Blessings, with 50 blessings from each city.
In total, Lu Hai Kong acquired 30 Myth Chests and an additional 300 Heaven-Earth Blessings. This reward was more than enough to keep Lu Hai Kong in high spirits for several days.
However, Lu Hai Kong was also aware that this kind of harvest might only be a one-time occurrence, and tomorrow could bring an entirely different scenario with enemy forces besieging the city.
Indeed, Lu Hai Kong's speculation proved accurate.
While Lu Hai Kong was grinning from ear to ear due to the consecutive system notifications, in the Xianyang Demon City, Qin Shi Huang and the other extra-dimensional big shots were still reeling from the news about Zhu Yuan Zhang.
Some even suspected that Zhu Yuan Zhang might have secretly sided with Qin Shi Huang and was now helping him with this charade.
News of Lu Hai Kong's consecutive capture of six cities also reached Xianyang. Interestingly, these individuals received the news at the same time, even though their cities had been taken by Lu Hai Kong one after the other.
As one general after another burst into the room and whispered into their respective leaders' ears, the entire scene felt eerily familiar to everyone present. Their faces contorted in disbelief.
Could it be that their demon cities had also fallen to Lu Hai Kong? This thought was so absurd that they didn't even need others to refute it; their own skepticism dismissed it.

Taking down seven demon cities in a single day—how was that even possible?
These extra-dimensional demons simply couldn't believe it, not because they doubted Lu Hai Kong's strength.
Living in the extra-dimensional world, they were well aware of each other's capabilities, and everyone knew just how formidable Zhu Yuan Zhang's Bright City was.
For Lu Hai Kong to conquer Bright City within a few short hours, he undoubtedly possessed the strength to take down the other six cities.
However, having the strength didn't guarantee success, especially when it came to capturing all six cities in a single day. It was worth noting that the closest of these six cities was still a good hundred or two hundred kilometers away from Bright City. If they were the same group, they would have had to cover a thousand kilometers.
Keep in mind that this was the extra-dimensional world, not the Three Kingdoms World. The environment here was incredibly harsh. In such conditions, running a thousand kilometers to conquer seven cities was no small feat, let alone doing it without any rest.
Lu Hai Kong couldn't have possibly divided his forces, could he? If he had and still managed to capture six cities, then Lu Hai Kong would be defying the heavens!
"What happened?" someone asked the six men whose faces had turned ashen.
The six men looked like they had seen a ghost, and it took them a long while to respond. Finally, Li Zicheng spoke up first, "My demon city was destroyed by Lu Hai Kong."
"Mine too!" the remaining five chimed in unison.
For a moment, the entire Afang Palace fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's throat seemed to be choked, even Liu Bang, who had been smiling since the start of the meeting, now wore a somber expression.
