Chapter 277: Overwhelming Dominance
Chapter 277: Overwhelming Dominance
September 25, 2017
Sometimes, one needs to step back and view things from an objective perspective to gain a fresh and clearer understanding.
Lu HaiKong currently finds himself in such a state. He had been leading the Elite Guard Camp, and being part of it, he knew of its strength. However, having witnessed the might of the Tomb Guardian Army before, his subjective perception of the Elite Guard Camp's power was somewhat diminished.
But now, as he stood by and witnessed Pan Feng leading the Elite Guard Camp in a full-on assault, Lu HaiKong realized just how formidable they were!
The Elite Guard Camp's offensive was unstoppable. Wave after wave of mountain bandits, converging from all directions, had no chance against their onslaught.
Pan Feng's command of the battle was exceptional, and the Elite Guard Camp, like a steamroller, crushed all enemies in their path.
Lu HaiKong, who had fought alongside the Elite Guard Camp for a long time, understood their capabilities and quickly adapted to the situation. Meanwhile, the Fire Regiment members, witnessing this display, were left in awe.
Lu HaiKong had always had a critical flaw in his approach to training the Fire Regiment members. While he provided them with ample opportunities for practical combat experience, they were mostly trained individually or in small squads.
These members, who were meant to be cultivated as military commanders, rarely had the chance to lead battles before graduation. Only a select few exceptional Fire Regiment members had the opportunity to command operations.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong had recently identified this issue and was working on a solution.
"Attention, all members! After this battle, each of you will write a battle reflection report and submit it to Zhao Lun!" Lu HaiKong issued this order, then joined the fight with his Savage Axe.
The Fire Regiment members were literate, as upon joining, each of them received a copy of the 'Elementary Han Language' book, worth 5 gold, purchased from the old man Wang. However, literacy didn't equate to being well-read, and they were far from scholars.
They could recognize most Han characters but had never read any classics or literature. They were worlds apart from the literati.
Recently, Wang Jun had also been paying attention to the Fire Regiment. Although these members were merely literate, this alone was a significant leap that most people couldn't achieve in years. Wang Jun believed that with proper guidance, they could potentially handle various management tasks within the fort.
Lu HaiKong wasn't stingy in this regard and had already assigned fifty Fire Regiment members to Wang Jun for experimentation. If successful, the Fire Regiment might be divided into civil and military sections in the future.
But that was a matter for later; the current priority was conquering the fort.
Lu HaiKong didn't join Pan Feng's group, as they were already doing well, and he saw no need to add to the chaos.
Lu HaiKong single-handedly intercepted a group of about a hundred mountain bandits, his large axe wreaking havoc in their ranks.
With Lu HaiKong and Pan Feng, two martial powerhouses, and the overwhelming dominance of the Elite Guard Camp, it didn't take long for the waves of surrounding bandits to be decimated.
Especially on Pan Feng's side, under his leadership, the Elite Guard Camp even annihilated a 500-strong elite mountain bandit spear unit.
As Pan Feng approached the Assembly Hall, the Elite Guard Camp finally met a worthy opponent in the form of the mountain bandit Elite Guard Legion.
Only the Elite Guard Legion, comprised of mountain bandits, could withstand the Elite Guard Camp in a large fort.
This Elite Guard Legion possessed terrifying combat power. When Lu HaiKong previously captured this large fort, he didn't dare engage them head-on, opting to eliminate eighty percent of them through assassination instead.
Even so, the remaining twenty percent who burst forth with power left Lu HaiKong in awe. Just twenty of them managed to hold off over fifty members of the Fire Regiment.
At that time, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but wonder, if all one hundred Elite Guards were present, how formidable would they be? His curiosity was about to be satisfied.
Before Pan Feng reached the Assembly Hall, an entire Elite Guard Legion, led by a Legion Commander whose strength was clearly above 70, marched forward. Finally, Lu HaiKong's anticipated battle between the Elite Guard Camp and the Elite Guard Legion commenced!
As they clashed, the Elite Guard Camp's momentum was immediately checked.
Despite the Elite Guard Legion having fewer members, they didn't fall behind at the battle's start.
The fight was intense, and although the Elite Guard Legion couldn't launch effective attacks due to their numbers, they firmly held back the Elite Guard Camp, not allowing them to advance.
With strength inferior to the Elite Guard Camp by 5 points and a significantly smaller force, the fact that the Elite Guard Legion could hold their ground demonstrated their formidable power.
However, the Elite Guard Legion, though powerful, faced a formidable opponent in the Elite Guard Camp, not to mention the presence of Pan Feng.
As they engaged, Pan Feng confronted the Legion Commander of the Elite Guard Legion.
In terms of pure strength, the Legion Commander was far inferior to Pan Feng, an 8-point historical warrior. In contrast, Pan Feng was a system-generated 70-point warrior, and their combat prowess was worlds apart.
However, the Legion Commander could harness the power of the Elite Guard Legion behind him, akin to Pan Feng's Unmatched General ability, enabling him to barely hold his ground against Pan Feng.
But it was merely a struggle, and after ten exchanges, seeing no sign of victory, Pan Feng's anger erupted, and he unleashed his Unmatched General power.
"Mere mountain bandits dare to block Pan Feng's path? You shall die!"
With his combat power surging, Pan Feng, already in an absolute advantage, instantly overwhelmed and took down the Elite Guard Legion Commander with three axe swings.
