Chapter 264: The Terrifying Legion (Part 2)
September 25, 2017
"Cease fire!"
As soon as Lu Hai Kong realized the first battalion's attack was ineffective, he immediately ordered them to stop.
On one hand, Lu Hai Kong didn't want to waste effort, and on the other, after months of experience, Lu Hai Kong had become more mindful of the economic costs. The 'Wolf Fang Arrows' production process was intricate, and the materials were precious. Each round of shooting sent a shower of gold flying.
Since the attack was ineffective, Lu Hai Kong decided to conserve funds, especially since he had been hearing Wang Jun's complaints lately.
With the first battalion's attack halted, the only remaining offensive option was the three 'Gongsun Ballistae' three hundred meters away from the refugee camp.
However, loading the ballistae was a tedious process, and at three hundred meters, they could only fire three rounds at most. One round had already been fired, and before the Stone Statue Army approached, Lu Hai Kong hurriedly commanded the ballistae to fire another round.
Due to the proximity of the Stone Statue Army, now within a hundred meters, the ballistae's power increased significantly. This round of shooting took down eight Tomb Guardian Soldiers.
But after this round, the Stone Statue Army was already less than a hundred meters away, too close for the ballistae to reload. Lu Hai Kong had no choice but to command the ballistae to retreat while organizing the attack.
"Go! Stop them!"
As the ballistae retreated, Lu Hai Kong, Pan Feng, and Pan Feng's Elite Guard rushed towards the Stone Statue Army.
Lu Hai Kong was aware of his capabilities, and the gap between his strength and the boss with a strength of 88 was simply too vast. He had no chance against such an opponent, so he and Pan Feng didn't engage the Tomb Guardian General directly. Instead, they left the general to Dian Wei, while they charged into the Tomb Guardian Soldiers.
Of course, while Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng fought their way into the soldiers, Dian Wei was already engaged in a fierce battle with the general, dual-wielding his halberds. Otherwise, Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng wouldn't have been able to bypass the general and reach the soldiers.
Both Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng were skilled with axes, and their equipment, Lu Hai Kong's Wilderness Axe and Pan Feng's Ghostly Masked Axe, were formidable.
Initially, both believed they could easily dispatch these soldiers. At first, Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng did indeed dominate.
Although the Tomb Guardian Soldiers had high defense due to their stone-like bodies and armor, both Pan Feng and Lu Hai Kong could deliver fatal blows, albeit with some difficulty.
However, as they fought, Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng suddenly realized the soldiers' defense had increased significantly. Enemies they could previously defeat with a single blow now required multiple strikes to take down.
Moreover, the soldiers surrounded them, a group of them attacking Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng.
Facing a horde of enemies with abnormally high defense, requiring all their strength to defeat, was already challenging. But these soldiers also possessed surprising power, making the battle even more arduous.
Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng, one a historical warrior with a strength of 80, and the other with a strength of 75 but capable of unleashing 80 strength in bursts, found themselves overwhelmed by these Tomb Guardian Soldiers with a strength of only 40.
"Copper Wall, Iron Wall? Damn, how is this warrior trait so overpowered?"
Lu HaiKong suddenly recalled the tomb guardian warrior's trait, and it was clear that the current situation was closely related to that guy's ability.
Lu HaiKong had noticed this trait from the start, but never imagined it would be this insane. It massively boosted the combat power of the tomb guardian soldiers.
If it weren't for the activation of 'Copper Wall, Iron Wall', Lu HaiKong and Pan Feng might have barely managed to defeat this stone statue army with only eighty soldiers left. But now, with the trait activated, it's not just Lu HaiKong and Pan Feng who would struggle; even with the bandit elite guard, taking down this stone statue army would likely come at a heavy cost.
As expected, while Lu HaiKong and his group were in a predicament, the bandit elite guard charged in.
However, the arrival of the bandit elite guard didn't alleviate Lu HaiKong's situation much. Instead, it made him deeply understand the true terror of the 'Copper Wall, Iron Wall' trait.
Five or six hundred bandit elite guards attacked simultaneously, and this group of stone statue soldiers, with only thirty tomb guardian soldiers, firmly separated the bandit elite guard from Lu HaiKong and his group.
No matter how the elite guard camp attacked, they couldn't breach the stone statue army's defense.
The two sides were simply not on the same level. The tomb guardian soldiers' strength was not only 15 points higher than the bandit elite guard, but their equipment, combined with their original stone nature, created an overwhelming advantage in gear.
Even Lu HaiKong and Pan Feng, of such a high caliber, couldn't instantly defeat them after they activated 'Copper Wall, Iron Wall'. As for the bandit elite guard, it was even more hopeless. They struck the tomb guardian soldiers with all their might, but at most, they could only leave white marks on their bodies.
Occasionally, the tomb guardian soldiers would wave their spears, and a bandit elite guard, or even several of them, would be taken down.
In the 619th chapter, it's clearly the MVP version!
This is the first time Lu HaiKong has witnessed such a complete dominance of one unit over another. He had never imagined that such a terrifying unit could exist in this world.
A stone statue army like this doesn't need many; just five hundred are enough to completely crush Lu HaiKong's current eight thousand soldiers.
"If even an unknown stone statue army is this terrifying, how much more terrifying is Gao Shun's 'Immovable Camp'?" Lu HaiKong exclaimed as he watched the stone ghost army mow down the bandit elite guard like grass, unable to hold back his admiration.
However, Lu HaiKong fell into a cognitive trap. While this stone statue army was indeed unknown, it didn't mean they were weaker than Gao Shun's 'Immovable Camp'. These soldiers came from mysterious dungeons, and they might be even more powerful than regular units in reality. After all, Lu HaiKong hadn't truly encountered the unique units of the Three Kingdoms yet.
But it was precisely because of this experience that Lu HaiKong developed a keen interest in pursuing special units.
"Damn, they dare to kill my soldiers. I'll show them my might!"
As Lu HaiKong immersed himself in the power of the stone statue army, Pan Feng, seeing the elite guard camp he had just received less than an hour ago now lying in tatters with heavy casualties, couldn't help but feel enraged.
"Unparalleled General!"
