Chapter 429: The Harvest

September 25, 2017

From the very beginning, Lu Hai Kong had never let down his guard against Ding Yuan.

Throughout the entire conflict, Ding Yuan had been under Lu Hai Kong's surveillance. Ever since Lu Hai Kong eliminated Wu Yan Xiong, the tide of this war had been clear to even the blind.

In this situation, Lu Hai Kong took decisive action, and Ma Han, who had been prepared in advance, immediately framed Lu Hai Kong for assassination.

Before this, Ma Han had unknowingly isolated Ding Yuan and Ding Li from the Flying Wolf Cavalry, and at this moment, the Flying Wolf Cavalry had not witnessed the entire process.

However, they were not fools; they had enough sense to deduce what had happened. The arrow had clearly been fired from Ding Yuan's direction, and to make matters worse, Ding Yuan had not yet put away his crossbow. The truth was as plain as day.

At this moment, Ding Yuan did not attempt to argue, nor did he have the power to do so.

On one side was Lu Hai Kong, the hero who had single-handedly slain the enemy's commander with three axes, and on the other was Ding Yuan, who had abandoned Jiuyuan. When Ma Han spoke up, who would the Flying Wolf Cavalry and the soldiers on the city walls believe?

In this situation, Ding Yuan reacted swiftly. He immediately took Ding Li and fled, taking advantage of the chaos as Wu Yan Xiong was struck down by the 'Army-Pacifying Aura,' causing the Wu Xian army to scatter in disarray.

Lu Hai Kong merely glanced at the fleeing Ding Yuan, with no intention of stopping him.

He did not want to kill Ding Yuan at this moment, or perhaps he could not. His actions were not meant to be seen as a desperate attempt to eliminate Ding Yuan.

This move by Lu Hai Kong was intended to further tarnish Ding Yuan's reputation and, in the process, clear his own name, making it easier to take over Jiuyuan.

Lu Hai Kong was well aware that during Ding Yuan's defense of Jiuyuan, he would have done everything in his power to smear Lu Hai Kong, accusing him of colluding with the Wu Xian and Wuhuan tribes, and blaming him for all the hardships.

Compared to Lu Hai Kong's previous actions, this move was intended to shake the morale of his troops. Lu Hai Kong had no choice but to proceed with this plan.

In this situation, Lu Hai Kong could only reveal Ding Yuan's true nature to the people of Jiuyuan. Whether Ding Yuan was shameless or not was not for Lu Hai Kong to consider; he had already made his decision.

Ma Han directly framed Ding Yuan, and in his panic, Ding Yuan played his part as the villain very well, fleeing and completely solidifying the charges against him. With this, Lu Hai Kong achieved his desired outcome.

Originally, Ding Yuan still had some room to maneuver, but after committing such a despicable act in front of so many witnesses, and considering his past abandonment of Jiuyuan, who would believe a word he says now?"

Lu Hai Kong, having gained an advantage, waved his hand, perfectly portraying the role of a responsible and principled hero: "Don't worry about him. The Wu Xian rebels have not been completely defeated. Let's eliminate the Wu Xian rebels first!"

He then turned with his army and spent two hours defeating the remaining Wu Xian rebels at the other three gates, thoroughly concluding the battle.

With the final wave of organized Wu Xian rebels defeated, a large number of scattered rebels were either killed, captured, or fled the battlefield. After the Black Wind Legion finished off the remaining Wu Xian forces, Lu Hai Kong's campaign officially came to an end.

"Congratulations on defeating the Wu Xian rebels (100,000). You have gained 1,000,000 allocatable skill experience and a Legendary Treasure Chest."

"You have successfully killed Wu Yan Xiong and obtained a Golden Chest, gaining 500,000 allocatable skill experience."

"1,899 of your Bandit Raiders have advanced to the Excellent level."

"You have achieved a great victory, gaining a deeper understanding of command. Your command attribute has increased, and your current command value is 60."

"You have defeated the Wu Xian rebels (100,000 troops) and lifted the siege of Jiuyuan County, receiving a higher evaluation for the quest 'Suppress the Wu Xian Rebellion'."

Five system evaluations came one after another, and Lu Hai Kong's gains from this battle were enormous.

However, Lu Hai Kong had no time to tally his rewards or open the treasure chests. The only loot he took the time to collect was what Wu Yan Xiong dropped.

After Lu Hai Kong killed Wu Yan Xiong with three axe strikes and framed Ding Yuan, he collected Wu Yan Xiong's drops and checked his contributions.

As expected of an NPC boss with a combat strength of 82, Wu Yan Xiong provided Lu Hai Kong with some excellent items.

These included a Soulstone of Wu Yan Xiong, a copy of the Black Heaven Malefic Mind Technique, a copy of the Black Heaven Malefic Blade Technique, and a scroll for the Commander Trait 'Army-Pacifying Aura'.

The two secret manuals were of the lowest value, but even these could potentially help Lu Hai Kong cultivate a subordinate with a combat strength of 80.

The scroll for the 'Army-Pacifying Aura' Commander Trait also seemed promising. Although it had severe backlash, when used correctly, its effects were outstanding.

The Soulstone was the most precious item. If Lu Hai Kong could successfully use it in the Hall of Heroes, his fort would gain a new lineage of martial arts.

Currently, Lu Hai Kong's fort was flooded with secret manuals, but truly high-level manuals were still scarce. As a result, many of Lu Hai Kong's talented individuals had gone to farm Pei Yuan Shao, leading to the Flame Battalion being mostly composed of sword users. Now, with the addition of Wu Yan Xiong, who also used a sword, Lu Hai Kong had another option for his troops.

In the end, Lu Hai Kong obtained a level 6 manual, a level 9 manual, a book, and a scroll, all of which were of the highest quality!

However, Lu Hai Kong had not yet considered the use of these items; he couldn't think that far ahead. He only remembered what he had obtained.

After defeating the 100,000-strong Wu Xian rebel army, Lu Hai Kong immediately led his troops into Jiuyuan County.

As relief forces and heroes who saved Jiuyuan, Lu Hai Kong and his companions naturally received a warm and sincere welcome from the citizens.

But Lu Hai Kong had no time to enjoy this. Upon entering Jiuyuan, he began making preparations.

First, Lu Hai Kong took over the military authority of Jiuyuan County, which he accomplished smoothly.

After all, Lu Hai Kong's previous 'speech' at Qiangyin had impressed many, and now he was the hero who saved Jiuyuan County in its time of need.

After taking command, Lu Hai Kong directed the troops to clean up the battlefield and repair the defensive systems of Jiuyuan County.

Lu Hai Kong was clear-minded, knowing they still had a tough battle ahead. He had only eliminated a portion of the Wu Xian rebels, while Lu Bu had led away a large number of them. Logically, that group of rebels should be returning soon.

In reality, Lu Hai Kong never intended to crush the Wu Xian rebels outside Jiuyuan County. His goal was merely to break through and enter Jiuyuan. He had another plan in mind for later.

What Lu Hai Kong didn't expect was that Jiuyuan County only had 100,000 troops, and they didn't seem to be elite. The true elite forces had been led away, leaving behind only the less capable soldiers.

Under these circumstances, Lu Hai Kong didn't hold back. He directly eliminated them all. Afterward, he didn't forget that Lu Bu had also led away a large portion of the Wu Xian rebels.

Logically, they should have almost finished off Lu Bu and returned by now. Even if they couldn't defeat Lu Bu, they should have at least forced him to flee. They should have received news of the defeated rebels and known that the siege of Jiuyuan County had been lifted. It was time for them to return...
