Chapter 289: Slaying the Gale Raider Leader
2017-09-25
Since its formation, the Hei Feng Legion has always prided itself on its unparalleled speed.
In previous battles, the Hei Feng Legion had never encountered an opponent that could match their swiftness, until they stumbled upon the Gale Raider Band in this horse bandit camp.
Lu HaiKong, the commander, noticed that the Gale Raiders seemed to be organized into a legion, and their legion trait focused on enhancing speed.
However, unlike the Hei Feng Legion's Gale Trait, which provided a passive boost, the Gale Raiders' legion trait appeared to be an active ability. When activated, it seemed to significantly increase the speed of the Gale Raiders, making them at least twice as fast as usual.
Relying on this active speed boost, the Gale Raiders were quickly catching up to the Hei Feng Legion.
"This is getting interesting. Let's create some distance between this band of raiders and the rest of the troops!"
Zhao Gang, the commander, had a glint in his eye, clearly having noticed the Gale Raiders, who numbered less than a thousand but dared to charge forward aggressively.
Under Zhao Gang's command, the Hei Feng Legion advanced at full speed, occasionally firing a volley of crossbow arrows to keep the pursuing Gale Raiders at bay and maintain a safe distance from the main force.
Once Zhao Gang deemed the distance sufficient, the Hei Feng Legion swiftly turned around and counter-attacked, led by Lu HaiKong, Zhao Gang, and Zhao Er.
The average combat strength of the Hei Feng Legion members was initially only 25, similar to the Gale Raiders. However, after numerous raids on horse bandit camps, their strength had significantly improved. Now, the average Hei Feng Legion member had a strength of around 29, slightly surpassing the Gale Raiders. Still, the difference was minimal due to the Gale Raiders' leather armor.
Among the Hei Feng Legion, nearly one-tenth were former Fire Word Regiment members, starting with strength values of 40 to 50. Not to mention, Lu HaiKong and his two companions had strength levels of 70.
With their formidable strength, Lu HaiKong and his companions tore through the Gale Raiders' formation, splitting them into three groups. The Hei Feng Legion followed their lead, further crushing the Gale Raiders.
Initially, the Hei Feng Legion achieved promising results, but Lu HaiKong and his team soon realized that the Gale Raiders had quickly stabilized their situation and launched a counterattack.
Although the Gale Raiders under Lu HaiKong's command offered little resistance, the Hei Feng Legion members faced heavy casualties from the Gale Raiders' counterattack, and the losses were widespread.
"They must have activated a legion trait. We need to find and eliminate their legion leader as soon as possible!"
Lu HaiKong's combat experience was extensive, and he quickly identified the root of the problem.
Whether in ancient times or in games, a universal truth remains: the higher the rank, the more noticeable one becomes. The same was true for the Gale Raiders' legion leader.
While other Gale Raiders wore gray leather armor, their leader stood out in metal armor and a metal helmet. Such a conspicuous figure couldn't escape Lu HaiKong's attention.
Gale Raider Leader
Attributes:
Strength: 75, Politics: 20, Strategy: 20, Command: 50
Skills: N/A
Talent Level: Intermediate
A minor boss with a strength of 75 caught Lu HaiKong's attention, and he charged towards him with his Savage Axe.
With Lu HaiKong's current strength, dealing with a minor boss like this should be a matter of a few axe swings. In reality, this was the case, but when the Gale Raider Leader saw Lu HaiKong charging towards him, he immediately turned and fled, disappearing into the horde of raiders to play a game of cat and mouse with Lu HaiKong.
This was the first time Lu HaiKong had encountered such a situation, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in surprise.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong had Zhao Gang and Zhao Er by his side. When they saw their boss chasing the Gale Raider Leader, they instantly understood and each took a side, flanking the leader with Lu HaiKong.
However, despite their three-person encirclement, the leader was exceptionally cunning and managed to escape from their trap several times.
As the Black Gale Legion suffered heavy losses and the main force from the raider camp approached from behind, Lu HaiKong became furious. He grabbed a spear from a Gale Raider and hurled it at the leader.
To Lu HaiKong's surprise, his casual throw actually hit the leader. Although the leader was wearing armor, the spear didn't pierce through him, but it did knock him off his horse.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu HaiKong's eyes lit up. Wielding his Savage Axe, he charged forward, and anyone who dared to block his path was taken down with a single swing of his axe.
In the 1619 version, this is the truth!
When Lu HaiKong reached the Gale Raider Leader, the man had already stood up and was preparing to fight, wielding a weapon. He was just a Strength 75 minor boss, a raider without his horse, and he was no match for Lu HaiKong.
Under Lu HaiKong's extreme violence and his Mountain Splitting Axe Technique, thirteen consecutive axe swings took down this minor boss.
With the death of the Gale Raider Leader, the raider group immediately fell into chaos. However, the main force from the large raider camp had already caught up, and Zhao Gang quickly ordered the Black Gale Legion to withdraw from the battle and once again create distance from the raiders.
Meanwhile, Lu HaiKong calmly retrieved the items dropped by the leader and violently fought his way out of the raider group.
This confrontation didn't seem successful for the Black Gale Legion. They not only failed to eliminate the Gale Raider Band but also lost one or two hundred of their own men. However, it wasn't a fruitless battle.
Due to Lu HaiKong and his two companions, and the large number of Fire Word Regiment members in the Black Gale Legion, the Gale Raider Band suffered three to four hundred casualties. Their leader was also slain by Lu HaiKong, and for a short time, the Gale Raider Band's active acceleration trait was essentially disabled, which was excellent news for the Black Gale Legion.
This meant the Black Gale Legion could continue their original kite tactics.
However, at this moment, Lu HaiKong stepped forward and gathered the Fire Word Regiment members from the Black Gale Legion, forming a team of less than a hundred.
Following Lu HaiKong's orders, the Black Gale Legion split into two groups: one led by Zhao Gang with around six hundred members, and the other led by Lu HaiKong with less than a hundred members.
Soon, the second round of this large raider camp assault began...
