Chapter 271: The Yellow Turban Territory
Chapter 271: The Yellow Turban Territory
September 25, 2017
In the Youzhou region, a location with some similarities to Lu Hai Kong's Fort, a bustling construction site was taking shape.
Although it appeared that the construction had just begun and seemed like the work of a newly established force, this group possessed an astonishingly large population and a well-developed management system.
Tens of thousands of people were working simultaneously, yet not a hint of chaos could be seen in the territory. Everyone was well-managed, each person diligently performing their assigned tasks.
What caught the eye was the presence of numerous Yellow Turban Warriors, towering at around three meters tall and with robust physiques, among the construction workers. Their numbers exceeded a thousand.
The extensive use of Yellow Turban Warriors in the construction clearly indicated a connection to the Yellow Turban Army. The lord of this territory was, at the very least, an exceptional being with ties to the Yellow Turban Army, as only such beings would establish a territory.
In the heart of this territory, the Lord's Hall had been erected, and within it, a female Taoist priestess clad in an apricot yellow robe studied a map.
This priestess appeared youthful, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features. The Taoist robe she wore gave her an air of sanctity. She was the lord of this Yellow Turban territory.
It was hard to imagine that the ruler of a territory with a population nearing one hundred thousand was a girl like her.
This young lady scrutinized the map for a long time, eventually taking out a vermilion brush to circle a specific location. Remarkably, this circle was precisely drawn over Lu Hai Kong's territory...
...
Yanhu Mountain Camp.
Lu Hai Kong walked with the small figure of Silver Moon toward the Fire Word Regiment.
The Fire Word Regiment, a training ground for Lu Hai Kong's talented military personnel, was initially located within the barracks.
However, as the regiment expanded and various facilities were added, the barracks could no longer accommodate it. Several months ago, Lu Hai Kong intentionally established a massive military base near the camp, leaning against the mountains on the left side of the valley. The Fire Word Regiment was then relocated there in its entirety.
Since the establishment of this military base, the Fire Word Regiment has transitioned from underground operations to semi-public activities. Lu Hai Kong also began selecting outstanding talents from various regiments to join them.
Three months have passed, and today's Fire Word Regiment has grown significantly. The active members number nearly a thousand, though most of them are new recruits who have yet to fully integrate.
As the first independent military base under Lu Hai Kong's command, the Fire Word Regiment has its own set of rules. Generally, no one is allowed near the regiment, not even those who have graduated from it, unless it's for maintenance or expansion of the military base.
Within the entire camp, only two and a half individuals, besides the Fire Word Regiment members, can freely enter and exit the regiment. One is Dian Wei, the martial arts instructor, and the other is Lu Hai Kong, the camp leader himself. The remaining half-person is the small figure Lu Hai Kong holds in his hand.
The military base of the Fire Word Regiment is roughly divided into four parts: the 'Tactics Hall', the 'Strategy Hall', the 'Martial Arts Arena', and the 'Training Ground'. The 'Strategy Hall' is currently in a non-operational phase, while the 'Tactics Hall' is where various battle summaries are stored, currently managed by Wang Ti.
Within the Martial Arts Arena, various secret manuals of martial arts techniques are stored, available for selection by members of the Fire Word Regiment. Every new recruit can come here to choose a set, and aside from this welfare benefit, there are other ways to gain access to the arena, such as killing enemies or leading a brilliant campaign. Currently, the arena is managed by Zhao Lun.
The Training Ground, on the other hand, is a public facility shared by all members of the Fire Word Regiment.
The Training Ground is always the liveliest place within the Fire Word Regiment, no matter the time of day. One can always witness members of the regiment honing their martial skills here, and with luck, even catch a few exciting sparring matches.
Lu HaiKong's arrival was well-timed, as two individuals were currently engaged in a sparring match at the Training Ground, both of whom were among the top-notch members of the Fire Word Regiment.
One was Zhao Er, who had rapidly increased his strength from 30 to 70 in just a few months. The other was Wang Ti, an old comrade of Lu HaiKong, who had been diligently training in the Fire Word Regiment ever since the battle at Heifeng Mountain Camp.
If we solely consider strength, Wang Ti might fall short compared to Zhao Er, even though he is much older and has been training for several months. Sometimes, one must admit that talent is more crucial than effort, which can be a disheartening fact for many.
Despite Wang Ti's prolonged training, his strength remained stuck at 69, failing to reach 70. However, with his current progress, it seems he won't be far from achieving it.
The reason for Wang Ti's delayed strength growth is not only his innate talent but also his decision to switch to a different cultivation method and martial technique.
Initially, Wang Ti's cultivation method and martial technique were chosen by Lu HaiKong, who was just starting his martial arts journey. As a result, Lu HaiKong didn't give it much thought and simply instructed the four generals with the surname Wang to learn spear techniques under Wang Chao. However, it turned out that Wang Ti's talent was not suited for the spear.
After some time, Lu HaiKong realized that Wang Ti was more suited to the dao than the spear.
Upon discovering this, Lu HaiKong immediately handed over Pei Yuan Shao's Vicious Eighteen Saber Techniques and Vicious Vital Art to Wang Ti.
As expected, after revising his dao techniques, Wang Ti's progress significantly accelerated. Although his strength remained at 69 for several months, his combat prowess had undoubtedly become far superior to his previous self.
It was this grasp of dao techniques that allowed Wang Ti to spar with Zhao Er, whose strength exceeded his own.
When Lu HaiKong arrived, Wang Ti and Zhao Er had already been sparring for a while, and Wang Ti was at a disadvantage. Despite his improved combat prowess, his strength value was still slightly lacking.
Although Wang Ti cultivated Vicious Eighteen Saber Techniques and Vicious Vital Art, Zhao Er's martial techniques were also impressive, so it was normal for Wang Ti to be on the receiving end of the blows.
However, as soon as Lu HaiKong entered, Wang Ti's state changed instantly. Seeing Lu HaiKong, Wang Ti became exhilarated, determined not to lose in front of him. It seemed that Wang Ti's strength was on the verge of a breakthrough...
