Chapter 276: Visitors from Youzhou
September 25, 2017
As Lu HaiKong led the Elite Guard Camp to sweep through the mountain forts, a group from the Youzhou region arrived in Qiang Yin County.
The group was not large, consisting of only a dozen people, with two girls leading the way, both remarkably beautiful.
In the era of Three Kingdoms, where men were revered and women were inferior, it was rare for girls to lead and be accepted by the common folk. The only exception was the Yellow Turban Sect, which carried a strong religious undertone. Even within this religious group, such a leadership role was likely reserved for the upper echelons. This suggested that the relationship between the Yellow Turban Territory in Youzhou and the Yellow Turban Sect was far from ordinary.
For convenience, the two leading girls dressed in men's clothing. After arriving in Qiang Yin County, they rented several courtyards and laid low for days without causing any commotion.
They frequented the various taverns in Qiang Yin County daily, and on the fourth day, the two cross-dressing leaders finally encountered the person they had been waiting for in one of the county's taverns.
...
On the ninth day since leaving the mountain forts, Pan Feng had been in a state of high excitement.
The map in Lu HaiKong's hands showed that all the medium-sized mountain forts had been eliminated, leaving only one final target for their journey.
It was the large mountain fort that Lu HaiKong had promised Pan Feng he could command the battle for!
Pan Feng had been bored these past few days, simply following Lu HaiKong's Elite Guard Camp from one mountain fort to another, witnessing the annihilation of each fort under Lu HaiKong's command.
However, Pan Feng had to admit that his lord's command skills far surpassed his own. There was much to learn from Lu HaiKong's techniques, but Pan Feng felt he might never grasp them. Lu HaiKong's strategies seemed too profound for him.
Watching Lu HaiKong command the troops, Pan Feng often wondered why, despite both using axes as weapons, he could only manage simple, straightforward combat, while his lord could employ such diverse tactics.
Of course, Pan Feng merely sighed at this, feeling no envy. If he were to command troops against Lu HaiKong, the victory would undoubtedly be his, and it would be a crushing one at that. There was no contest; after all, Lu HaiKong possessed the 'Army-Awesome Presence' and 'Unmatched General' warrior traits.
Moreover, if it weren't for these traits, Lu HaiKong wouldn't have entrusted him with the task of conquering the large mountain fort.
Lu HaiKong noticed Pan Feng's excitement, so after clearing all the medium-sized mountain forts, he led the troops towards the Iron Gang Fort.
After conquering a dozen or so medium-sized mountain forts, a significant portion of the Elite Guard Camp's bandit guards had accumulated a high level of experience. Many seemed on the verge of another advancement, and Lu HaiKong eagerly anticipated the large mountain fort battle as an opportunity for some of the bandit guards to level up.
However, the final battle would undoubtedly be the most challenging. The large mountain fort housed over a hundred bandit guards, forming a legion, and several hundred, if not a thousand, elite-level bandit guards.
If only the Bandit Guard Elite were to engage in this battle, even if they managed to secure victory in the end, it would be a costly win, and it's likely that only half of the Elite Guard Camp would survive.
Initially, Lu HaiKong intended to transfer some troops from the bandits, but he ultimately abandoned this idea. Instead, he wanted to observe the combat prowess of a historical warrior leading an army with an overall strength of over 30.
The refreshed Large Bandit Camp, now known as the Iron Gang Fort, had a different name when Lu HaiKong first encountered it months ago during the night. Regardless of its name, after today, this Large Bandit Camp would once again enter the refresh countdown.
The outer perimeter of this Large Bandit Camp was encircled by a wooden wall, with rows of arrow towers standing tall along its edge. Elite-level Bandit Archers manned these towers, while below, patrols of ordinary bandits marched back and forth, their equipment far superior to the shoddy gear of the Small Bandit Camp.
Conquering this Large Bandit Camp with just a few hundred Bandit Guards would be an immensely challenging task.
Upon Lu HaiKong's arrival, a contingent of the Fire Word Regiment was already waiting on standby. Well, while Lu HaiKong didn't transfer troops from the bandits, he did summon a group of the Fire Word Regiment.
This Fire Word Regiment had a single task: to eliminate all archers on the towers before the battle commenced.
There was no other choice; the threat posed by these elite archers to the unequipped Elite Guard was immense. Lu HaiKong's primary objectives were training and obtaining construction blueprints, not sending his troops to their deaths.
Lu HaiKong scheduled the attack on this Large Bandit Camp for the night, and an hour before the battle, the Fire Word Regiment took the lead. As a rocket soared into the sky, Pan Feng charged forward, his mighty axe smashing open the camp's main gate.
"Your subordinate, Pan Feng, has breached the Eagle Leader Fortress! Battle mode activated!"
With the system prompt, groups of bandits from within the camp began to surround them.
In the 619th chapter of the "One Look Without Error" version!
Most of these bandits were ordinary, but elite-level bandits were also present, easily numbering in the hundreds. Their responsiveness and numbers far surpassed those of the Medium Bandit Camp.
As the commander of this battle, Pan Feng felt no tension as the bandits encircled them, only excitement.
"Kill! Breach the camp!"
Amidst the roar, Pan Feng unleashed his Army-Awesome Presence, and the Elite Guard, led by Pan Feng, charged towards the opposing bandits.
The two groups of bandits clashed, and the Elite Guard immediately established dominance, crushing their opponents. The Elite Guard's strength was already sufficient to overpower these bandits, and with Pan Feng's leadership, they were even more formidable.
Pan Feng didn't bother with complex commands; his strategy was straightforward—lead the army and crush the opposition.
With Pan Feng at the forefront, the battle began with the Elite Guard dominating from the start...
