Chapter 211: Dian Wei's Loyalty
Chapter 211: Dian Wei's Loyalty
September 25, 2017
As Dian Wei unleashed his Demonic Deity's Shadow, a shadow that seemed to descend into the abyss, Pan Feng's Supreme Admiral effect was instantly dispelled.
"Pfft!"
Pan Feng's dark face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The soldiers of the Elite Family Alliance, who had been relentlessly attacking under the influence of Pan Feng's Supreme Admiral and Army-Charming Aura effects, suddenly lost their morale.
Everything has its consequences. Pan Feng's two effects, which could enhance the army and boost their combat effectiveness, also had a backlash. When his effects were forcefully broken, he suffered a backlash, and the army he had empowered crumbled like scattered sand.
Dian Wei, accompanied by the shadow, slowly approached Pan Feng, grabbed the barely conscious Pan Feng, and carried him across the trench to present him to Lu HaiKong.
Ever since the stories from the mountain camp began to spread, many young people in the camp were inspired by Lu HaiKong's adapted tales that promoted loyalty and faith. Among them was Dian Wei, a big, simple-minded fellow.
As he held Pan Feng, Dian Wei paid no heed to his weakened state after using his ultimate skill. He emulated the actions of the warriors in the camp's stories and knelt on one knee before Lu HaiKong, saying, "My lord, your humble subordinate has not failed your command!"
Lu HaiKong couldn't help but smile bitterly at the situation. Just as he was about to help Dian Wei up, an unexpected system message popped up.
"System Prompt: Top-tier historical general Dian Wei requests to pledge loyalty to you. Do you accept?"
Upon hearing this system prompt, Lu HaiKong was stunned. Over the past few months, he had occasionally considered recruiting Dian Wei but had been preoccupied and worried about triggering the recruitment task without success, which might cause Dian Wei to leave. So, he had kept putting it off.
Lu HaiKong never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that recruiting Dian Wei could be this straightforward. He understood the opportunity, looked at Dian Wei kneeling before him with a serious expression, as if acting out a scene from the stories, and the sudden system prompt made Lu HaiKong feel like he was dreaming.
In reality, Dian Wei appeared simple-minded and naive, but he was a wise man who could be described as 'big-hearted.' He could sense that something seemed to be subtly separating him and Lu HaiKong, something Dian Wei couldn't quite grasp or comprehend. However, he felt that Lu HaiKong had been trying to overcome this obstacle.
Initially, Dian Wei didn't know what Lu HaiKong was trying to achieve. It wasn't until he encountered the stories from the mountain camp that this seemingly dimwitted fellow realized, "Oh, so my uncle wants me to be his general. That's why this is happening."
Lu HaiKong hesitated for a moment. Instead of immediately accepting, he asked Dian Wei, "Do you really intend to follow your uncle for the rest of your life? You're still a subordinate, and once you become my general, you'll have to follow my orders. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I send you to the Fiery Inferno, you can't go to the ocean. Do you understand?"
Dian Wei was taken aback, his face displaying a standard expression of confusion, "Uncle, isn't that the same as it is now?"
Lu HaiKong was momentarily stunned but then smiled, "Yes, it's the same as it is now. Stand up, my general. You've worked hard."
As Lu HaiKong helped the weakened Dian Wei, who had just used his ultimate skill, to his feet, he also confirmed Dian Wei's subjugation, and the system prompt followed.
"Congratulations! You have gained the loyalty of the top-tier historical general, Dian Wei. Your level has increased. Current level: Bandit King Lv. 4. Your basic attributes have been enhanced."
"Congratulations! You have gained the loyalty of the top-tier historical general, Dian Wei. You have obtained a Legendary Chest and 2 million allocable skill experience."
Lu HaiKong to realize that Dian Wei's loyalty brought him significant benefits. The increase in professional level and skill experience was expected, but it was the Legendary Chest that was truly precious.
However, Lu HaiKong suddenly remembered that he still hadn't figured out half of the contents of the two Golden Chests he had opened. His joy was tempered by this realization, and although Pan Feng had been captured, his thousands of troops had scattered, and the war was not yet over.
After helping Dian Wei to his feet, Lu HaiKong ordered his men to take Dian Wei to rest and also had Pan Feng captured. Lu HaiKong was quite interested in this fellow and wouldn't mind recruiting him if possible. If recruitment failed, killing him would still yield a decent reward.
Everything was turning out better than expected, perhaps even a little too well, leaving Lu HaiKong feeling a bit dazed.
Dian Wei had truly pledged his loyalty, Pan Feng had been captured, and the elite family alliance had been defeated. Aside from the unknown fate of Li Xiong, this attack initiated by Wang Hao seemed like a blessing in disguise for Lu HaiKong.
Feeling relaxed and happy, Lu HaiKong quickly dealt with the matters at hand and ordered the Second Battalion to take care of the elite family alliance soldiers who had fallen into the trench.
Of course, 'taking care' of them meant killing them. Having ventured into the mountain camp, Lu HaiKong couldn't let this opportunity for some iron-blooded tactics pass by.
There were only a few hundred soldiers in the trench, and the Second Battalion's warriors, despite being new recruits, were no strangers to death and killing, coming from the most laborious backgrounds in Bingzhou and the lowest social strata. They didn't hesitate to finish off the soldiers in the trench with a few swift moves, especially under Lu HaiKong's orders.
After disposing of the soldiers in the trench, the Second Battalion reinstalled the planks that had been removed earlier and prepared to advance towards the fortress wall.
In Lu HaiKong's opinion, the war had reached its final stages. With the most powerful Pan Feng captured and the elite family alliance troops defeated, all that was left was to leisurely chase down the scattered enemy troops.
However, Lu HaiKong was unaware that among the elite family alliance troops, there was not only Pan Feng, a historical warrior, but also another old rival of Lu HaiKong's.
While Lu HaiKong was dealing with Pan Feng and the elite family alliance, Gao Shun was also causing trouble on the other side.
In any case, the night was still long, and there was still time before dawn. For Lu HaiKong, the truly challenging battle had yet to begin.
