Chapter 342: Advanced Troop Type - Mountain Bandit Elite
2017-09-25
As Pan Feng's axe sent Zhang Yan flying, the system suddenly bombarded Lu HaiKong with a barrage of notifications, each one more cryptic than the last.
There were so many that Lu HaiKong couldn't possibly count them all. The system notifications came one after another, even overlapping at times, making it impossible for Lu HaiKong to keep track while listening. He could only flip through the system prompts on the attribute panel.
"Congratulations on your victory in a battle of over 50,000 troops. You have gained 5 million Skill XP and 3 Gold Treasure Chests."
"During the battle, you have grasped the essence of Command, increasing your Command Value by 60 points."
These first two notifications specifically addressed Lu HaiKong's personal achievements in this battle.
Unexpectedly, the rewards for this battle were only three Gold Treasure Chests and a few Command points. Such rewards couldn't be considered generous. Lu HaiKong had initially thought he might obtain a Legendary Treasure Chest, but reality told him he had expected too much.
The difficulty of obtaining a Legendary Treasure Chest was slightly greater than he had anticipated, or perhaps the battle's difficulty was slightly less challenging. Judging solely by the rewards, it seemed even less lucrative than defeating that tomb-guarding legion. This further convinced Lu HaiKong that dungeons were the true treasure troves.
Although Lu HaiKong wasn't entirely satisfied with the rewards, fortunately, there were more system notifications below, and they seemed numerous. After reading them all, Lu HaiKong's mood for the day would likely remain unaffected.
"667 of your Mountain Bandit Bodyguards have been promoted to the Elite rank, currently at the Excellent rank." (Bodyguard Regiment)
"230 Gale Raiders have been promoted to the Elite rank." (Black Gale Legion)
"550 Bandits have been promoted to the Elite rank, currently at the Excellent rank." (Third Battalion)
"8 of your Mountain Bandit Bodyguards have been promoted to the Legendary rank and have evolved into the Advanced Troop type 'Mountain Bandit Elite'." (Bodyguard Legion)
"Your Vanguard Legion has gained significant war experience. As a mixed-type Intermediate Legion, please choose the Experience Boost method!"
These five consecutive messages were all about the promotion of Lu HaiKong's troops.
Lu HaiKong quickly scanned the number of promotions for the troops mentioned earlier, then focused on the last two messages.
What Lu HaiKong hadn't expected was that, as an Intermediate Legion, the Vanguard Legion's troops could gain experience and self-enhance during battles. However, seventy percent or more of the experience was pooled together, and this experience could be used to boost the Vanguard Legion.
Regarding how to allocate this experience, the system could automatically distribute it, or it could be done manually.
The only ones qualified to allocate this experience, besides Lu HaiKong as the Fort leader, were Gao Shun, the Legion Commander.
For the Vanguard Legion's notification, Lu HaiKong merely glanced at it and then ignored it, not out of neglect but because he left it to Gao Shun to handle.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that his time and energy were limited. He couldn't possibly attend to everything or keep everything in his hands. Moreover, Lu HaiKong learned an essential lesson from Xi Zhi Cai: delegate tasks that others can handle, which was the key to Xi Zhi Cai's remarkable work efficiency.
Of course, achieving this was easier said than done. At the very least, the person you entrust must be trustworthy and capable. In the end, it's about finding the right person for the task.
Lu HaiKong was still learning, but he didn't need to worry about the Vanguard Legion's Lu HaiKong. Since he had entrusted Gao Shun with this legion, he trusted him completely. He decided to let Gao Shun handle this legion himself, as he was far more professional than Lu HaiKong. Lu HaiKong only glanced at the Vanguard Legion's camp before turning his attention to the Mountain Bandit Elites.
Mountain Bandit Elite
Strength: 45
Unit Trait: Bloodthirsty Rampage
Bloodthirsty Rampage: An active trait. Upon killing an enemy, Strength increases by 1 point, and Health recovers. Strength can temporarily increase up to 65 points.
Lu HaiKong was stunned when he saw this trait. Instantly, he understood the power of the Mountain Bandit Elites. This unit was absolutely insane, the strongest he had encountered so far.
However, the promotion difficulty for this unit was quite high. Out of over four hundred Excellent-ranked Mountain Bandit Guards, only eight successfully advanced after a major battle. The difficulty of advancement was evident.
But since there were already eight, Lu HaiKong was confident he could get eighty, even eight hundred. If he could gather eight hundred Mountain Bandit Elites, the sweeping momentum would be astonishing. Eight hundred against eight thousand might even be possible.
The prospect was beautiful but distant. Lu HaiKong knew it would take years to assemble eight hundred Mountain Bandit Elites.
Lu HaiKong had only read through half of the system prompts so far, and there were still a few more regarding the battle, specifically about boosting the Strength of his generals.
"Congratulations! Your subordinate, Pan Feng, has broken through in battle, increasing his Strength. Current Strength: 82."
In the 1619th book, 1st bar, 1st chapter, 1st look, no mistakes!
"Congratulations! Your subordinate, Wang Ti, has broken through in battle, increasing his Strength. Current Strength: 73."
"Congratulations! Your subordinate, Zhao Er, has broken through in battle, increasing his Strength. Current Strength: 79."
...
There were several such prompts, but Lu HaiKong was most concerned about Pan Feng's and Zhao Er's improvements. The former was the strongest in the Mountain Fort at the moment (when Dian Wei was away), and the latter was Lu HaiKong's favorite.
Both had decent improvements, with Pan Feng increasing by two points and Zhao Er reaching 79, just one point away from the threshold.
There were already three in the Mountain Fort who had reached this threshold. After this battle, once the situation calmed down, Lu HaiKong would also start preparing to boost his Strength to 80.
Regarding the matter of reaching Strength 81, Lu HaiKong still felt he should take the lead. It wasn't that he was worried about his subordinates, fearing they might die if they broke through at a critical moment. Instead, Lu HaiKong was confident in his talent and believed he could easily break through to 80.
Moreover, Lu HaiKong had a clear breakthrough path, relying on the Assembly Hall's training room and the 'Mysterious Scroll' Yue'er had given him. He should be able to break through smoothly.
However, Lu HaiKong had been busy lately, and the current situation was somewhat complex. He could only put his breakthrough plans on hold for now. Besides, shouldn't the most important thing be the rewards from this battle?
Scrolling down, the system prompts led to the battle rewards...
