Chapter 308: Yellow Turban Warriors (Congratulations, Bi Hao, on Your Promotion to Helmsman)
September 25, 2017
Three days later, in the afternoon, outside a vast valley in Dai Prefecture, Youzhou, Ye Junru's troops had been patiently waiting. This was the day she and Lu Haikong had agreed to conquer the mega mountain fort together.
Ye Junru's forces numbered not just a thousand, but they were all Yellow Turban Warriors, towering at over three meters tall.
These warriors were poorly equipped, some even bare-chested, holding long spears. However, their entire bodies had a metallic sheen to their skin, giving them an intimidating appearance.
Yellow Turban Warriors were ranked, and Ye Junru's group was clearly not of the highest rank, but they were not to be underestimated. At the very least, their strength was not inferior to that of the elite guard camp.
This group of Yellow Turban Warriors was led by a young woman, Ye Mei, who carried a massive blade taller than herself. By her side stood a sturdy and commanding general.
"You're late! We've been waiting for ages, it's so boring!" Ye Mei complained, pouting as she strode back and forth with her large blade over her shoulder.
"The operation is planned for tonight, so we're not late. Just be patient and wait a little longer."
This was Ye Junru's first collaboration with Lu Haikong and his team, so she had attached great importance to this mission. She had come along to ensure everything went smoothly and to support her sister, Ye Mei.
Ye Mei, ever restless, took advantage of her sister's willingness to join her and approached Lu Haikong. "Sister, do you think they might have gotten lost?"
"No, I gave him a map," Ye Junru replied, then ignored her sister's restlessness.
Huffing in response to Ye Junru's indifference, Ye Mei turned her attention to the sturdy man beside her. "Zhou Cang, let's spar!" she said, her eyes sparkling.
Zhou Cang, indeed, was the man before her. He shook his head at Ye Mei's challenge, knowing all too well her playful and mischievous nature.
Displeased by his refusal, Ye Mei brandished the large blade on her shoulder, ready to insist on a match. Ye Junru quickly intervened to stop her.
Indeed, Ye Junru's decision to join them was wise.
After waiting for over an hour, Lu Haikong finally arrived with his troops. The delay was not due to any hesitation on Lu Haikong's part but mainly because they were in unfamiliar territory and were taking a discreet route to avoid detection, which took a bit more time.
Lu Haikong and his team had anticipated this, and although there was a slight delay, they were not late for the agreed-upon attack time.
As Lu Haikong approached, Ye Mei broke free from Ye Junru and confronted him. "You're too slow!"
"My apologies, we took a wrong turn and got delayed a bit."
Ye Mei wanted to say more, but a glance from Ye Junru silenced her, and she immediately retreated to the side.
After joining forces, Lu Haikong began assessing Ye Junru's troops. They had previously discussed and agreed that Lu Haikong would command this battle, and as the leader, he needed to understand the capabilities of his forces. Ye Junru and her team were cooperative.
As Lu HaiKong laid eyes on the burly man, he instantly recognized Zhou Cang, a legendary warrior. Lu HaiKong, being the martial expert he was, couldn't help but admire Zhou Cang's prowess.
However, Lu HaiKong's admiration was purely from a martial artist's perspective, and he had no intention of engaging Zhou Cang, who belonged to another faction.
Both parties took this collaboration seriously. Ye Junru's team not only had the historical warrior Zhou Cang but also Ye Mei, a formidable fighter herself. When needed, Ye Junru could join the battle personally.
More importantly, they had a squad of Yellow Turban Warriors, and Lu HaiKong had already assessed their attributes using his appraisal skill. These warriors were indeed formidable.
Yellow Turban Warriors
Strength: 30
Unit Trait: Yellow Turban Defense
Clearly, these were intermediate-level troops with impressive strength. Even in their initial state, they outperformed the Bandit Elite Guards, and by a significant margin.
With these Yellow Turban Warriors, Lu HaiKong felt more confident in taking on the Mega Fort.
Ye Junru's team contributed significantly, and Lu HaiKong's own forces were not to be underestimated.
In terms of soldiers, Lu HaiKong brought along his entire Elite Guard Legion, not to mention over a thousand additional Bandit Elite Guards. Lu HaiKong's troops not only outnumbered the enemy but also possessed superior combat strength, especially the four hundred Elite Guards who were armed to the teeth.
Regarding commanders, Lu HaiKong had himself, Pan Feng, and Ma Pen, who was in charge of opening gates. He also brought along a commander with a strength above 80.
In the 169th chapter of the book,
This person was none other than Cheng Yi, whom Lu HaiKong had captured during his previous raid on the Large Bandit Camp. After Cheng Yi regained consciousness, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate and recruited him.
Upon recruiting Cheng Yi, Lu HaiKong unexpectedly obtained a Silver Treasure Chest. Inside, he found an Elite-level Spear, which was Cheng Yi's weapon of choice. Lu HaiKong promptly gave the spear to Cheng Yi as his new weapon.
With Cheng Yi's addition, Lu HaiKong now had three commanders with a strength above 80. To ensure success, Lu HaiKong decided to bring Cheng Yi along.
After assessing both sides' strengths, Lu HaiKong felt confident about the upcoming battle. However, since the enemy had a Mega Fort, which Lu HaiKong hadn't encountered before, he prepared two thousand gold as a precaution.
Lu HaiKong used a Prop Fusion Charm to combine 'Heaven's Eye' and 'River Map of Ten Thousand Miles' into a new item, a necklace.
This new item system allowed Lu HaiKong to name it, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with a good name. He ended up naming it 'One Glimpse Ten Thousand Li'.
One Glimpse Ten Thousand Li
Prop Type: Mysterious Charm
Prop Effect:
Heaven-Hanging Eye (Can scout movements within a hundred li range)
Heaven-Penetrating Eye (Can investigate detailed resources within a three-hundred li radius)
River Map Prop (Can record scouted resource points and terrain)
Prop Usage: 2000 gold/time, 30 days/time
This prop essentially merged the functions of two items. Since Ye Junru's team hadn't ventured into the Mega Fort before, they weren't familiar with its interior. Therefore, Lu HaiKong brought along 'One Glimpse Ten Thousand Li'.
Lu HaiKong immediately used two thousand gold to activate the 'Heaven-Hanging Eye' and 'Heaven-Penetrating Eye'...
