Chapter 498: The Bloodbath Legion
Chapter 498: The Bloodbath Legion
September 25, 2017
Lu Hai Kong placed the bloodstone amulet and the Fire Spirit Pill together and then turned his attention to the scroll.
Mystic Dungeon Teleportation Scroll
Item Type: Mystic/Consumable
Item Description: A key to a large mystic dungeon, after use, the user can teleport into the dungeon with a large number of soldiers.
Usage Requirement: 1,000,000 gold.
Item Effect: Can teleport up to 2,000 people.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes lit up as he read the attributes of the scroll.
This was another great find, or rather, the best item he had acquired today.
The word 'dungeon' was synonymous with 'harvest' in Lu Hai Kong's eyes, and the best part about this item wasn't just the harvest, but the massive number of teleportation slots it offered. If used well, it could even save lives!
Lu Hai Kong carefully put away the scroll and turned his attention to the remaining items.
There were initially eight items, and now, after examining five of them, three remained, all of which were tokens.
With a single appraisal technique, Lu Hai Kong discerned the attributes of these tokens.
Among the three tokens, one was a System Structure Upgrade Token, another was an Advanced Yellow Turban Warrior Legion Summon Token, and the last was a Legion Upgrade Token—another significant gain!
The System Structure Upgrade Token's effect was well-known, and the attributes of the remaining two tokens were also quite impressive.
Advanced Yellow Turban Warrior Legion Summon Token
Item Type: Military/Consumable
Item Effect: Summons an Advanced Yellow Turban Warrior Legion (one Yellow Turban Divine General with Strength 92 and one hundred Yellow Turban Warriors with Strength 70).
Legion Duration: Five hours or until the token user is defeated.
Usage Count: 1/1
Just by looking at this item, one could tell it was definitely from a Yellow Turban Divine General. Lu Hai Kong had witnessed the strength of this legion and considered it quite powerful. If it weren't for Dian Wei's improved strength, he might not have been able to withstand them for even half an hour, let alone hold out until Lu Hai Kong's victory.
This item's appearance made up for the loss of two Automaton Beasts, ensuring Lu Hai Kong wouldn't need to use a cannon to kill a mosquito in the future.
Legion Upgrade Token
Item Type: Military/Consumable
Item Effect: Upon use, it can upgrade a legion's rank and has a 13% chance of granting a legion talent.
The attributes of the last token sparked an idea in Lu Hai Kong's mind.
The concept of a 'legion' was something Lu Hai Kong first encountered when he conquered his first large mountain bandit stronghold.
It was then that he learned about the existence of legions and, using the Legion Formation Order obtained in that battle, established his first legion—the Black Wind Legion. Subsequently, he developed this initial legion into the three legions he now commands.
Over a year has passed since then, and Lu Hai Kong has gained a certain understanding of legions.
He knows that not every legion formation grants additional legion traits. Among his three legions, only the Black Wind Legion possesses a trait, while the other two have none.
In fact, the Black Wind Legion is the weakest among Lu Hai Kong's forces, which suggests that legion traits are acquired randomly.
The chance to acquire a legion trait occurs only when a legion is formed or when its rank is upgraded.
Legion traits are fixed within the legion, and members automatically gain the trait upon joining, losing it if they leave.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong looked at the Legion Upgrade Token and suddenly thought of forming a legion with his Bloodthirsty Knights. With their formidable strength, if he could also obtain a Legion Trait, their combat power would be truly terrifying.
The reason Lu Hai Kong had this idea upon seeing the Legion Upgrade Token and not the Legion Formation Order was that the previous Formation Order could only form a 500-person squad, which wasn't enough to accommodate all the Bloodthirsty Warriors. But with this additional Legion Upgrade Token, the problem was solved.
Lu Hai Kong collected all the items and called Zhao Er and Ma Pin over. He gave the Fire Spirit Pill to Zhao Er and the Flowing Cloud Pendant to Ma Pin.
The reason Lu Hai Kong gave the Flowing Cloud Pendant to Ma Pin wasn't because of Ma Pin's near-death experience but because Ma Pin had the most dangerous tasks under Lu Hai Kong's command.
As a Phantom Guard, Ma Pin needed to infiltrate the enemy's inner circle to gather intelligence for Lu Hai Kong, a challenging and dangerous job. One wrong move could mean death, so Lu Hai Kong gave him the Flowing Cloud Pendant.
After sending Ma Pin off, Lu Hai Kong, along with Zhao Er, found the group of newly advanced Bloodthirsty Knights. Of course, he wanted to form a legion with them right away.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong had recently promoted Beifeng to a Giant Bandit Camp; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use the Legion Formation Order. A Giant Bandit Camp could only have three legions, and with Lu Hai Kong's upgrade to a Giant Bandit Camp, he gained two additional legion slots, allowing him to have a total of five legions under his command.
Therefore, at this moment, a thousand miles away from his base in Liangqi, Lu Hai Kong established his fourth and perhaps the most powerful legion.
Given Lu Hai Kong's knack for terrible naming, the name of the fourth legion wasn't much better. He simply took the first two characters of Bloodthirsty Knights and named it the Bloodbath Legion.
A 6, a 9, a 1, a bar, a look, a mistake, a version!
Bloodbath Legion (Small Legion)
Legion Level: 1
Legion Commander: Zhao Nanli
Legion Soldiers: 500/500
Legion Trait: None
Legion Evaluation: Elite
Lu Hai Kong's luck wasn't great. Although the legion was successfully formed, they didn't acquire a Legion Trait.
This was a matter of pure luck, and no amount of wishing would change it. Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong had an insurance policy; he still had a Legion Upgrade Token.
Without hesitation, Lu Hai Kong took out the Legion Upgrade Token and tossed it.
[Do you want to upgrade the Bloodbath Legion?]
"Yes!"
Lu Hai Kong nodded, and in an instant, the Bloodbath Legion's level was raised.
Bloodbath Legion (Small Legion)
Legion Level: 2
Legion Commander: Zhao Nanli
Legion Soldiers: 500/1000
Legion Trait: Bloodthirsty Rampage (Active Trait: When activated, increases Martial Might by 5 points for 30 minutes)
Legion Evaluation: Excellent
After seeing the attributes of the Bloodbath Legion, Lu Hai Kong's lips curled into a satisfied smile. "It seems my luck isn't too bad! It succeeded on the second try."
With the Legion Trait Bloodthirsty Rampage and the Battle Trait Bloodthirsty Rampage, this Bloodbath Legion might indeed become the most powerful legion under Lu Hai Kong's command.
