Chapter 568: Mythical Treasure Chest
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong and his group charged into the battlefield, defeated Zhang Niujiao's legion, and then killed Zhang Liang before departing, all within just an hour.
In such a large-scale war, an hour-long foray could indeed be described as a hurried affair.
However, this one-hour engagement significantly impacted the outcome of the battle!
At this moment, Lu HaiKong was still in good condition, and his Bloodstained Legion was at its peak strength. He could have unleashed another burst of power.
With the might of his Bloodstained Legion and his current strength value of 104, they could have even directly charged into Guangping City and killed Bo Cai if they wished!
But he didn't, partly because he still held some apprehension towards Zhang Jiao, and this was, after all, the stronghold of the Yellow Turbans. He had no idea what defenses they had within the city.
Moreover, after two consecutive deaths, he had already exhausted all his trump cards. If he were to die again this time, he might not be able to resurrect!
After all, Lu HaiKong was not an Otherworlder who descended through regular means. He didn't even know if he truly qualified as an Otherworlder, and he was unclear about whether he could reincarnate if he died. If he couldn't, then it would be a real mess, and his promising life had just begun to unfold.
Of course, there was an even more critical point—the current situation was the most beneficial to Lu HaiKong's interests.
The Yellow Turban Army had prepared for a long time for this wave, clearly aiming to defeat Huangfu Song's army. After annihilating this force, there would be no more rivals in Jiuzhou except for Lu HaiKong and Gongsun Zan.
At that time, the Yellow Turban Army would only need to dispatch a small portion of their troops to control Lu HaiKong's group and then march towards Luoyang. They could directly take over Luoyang, completely turning the tide of the battle!
Unfortunately, due to Lu HaiKong's intervention, the Yellow Turban Army's plan was foiled. After the astonishing battle between Lu HaiKong and Zhang Liang, the Han Army, under Huangfu Song's command, managed to retreat with difficulty.
Despite Bo Cai's desperate attempts to block them, with Zhang Niujiao's legion behind Huangfu Song being shattered by Lu HaiKong and with the return of Lu Bu and others to the battlefield, Huangfu Song eventually retreated three hours after Lu HaiKong's departure.
However, during this battle, the Han Army under Huangfu Song suffered heavy losses.
Originally a 250,000-strong legion, after this battle, less than 140,000 troops remained. In less than half a day, nearly half of the army was lost. This battle was undoubtedly Huangfu Song's most humiliating defeat.
What made it even more humiliating was that if not for Lu HaiKong's decisive intervention at a critical moment, his entire army might have been taken by the enemy.
As the three counties of Chizhang, Lier, and Guangnian were located at the center of Julu and required some effort to capture, and their fortifications were all destroyed during the battle, Huangfu Song's legion directly retreated to Qu Liang City, withdrawing from Julu Prefecture!
Initially, Huangfu Song had planned to defeat the Yellow Turban Army within two months, but now it seemed that hope was lost.
When Huangfu Song retreated to Qu Liang City, Lu HaiKong had already led the Bloodstasis Legion back to Handan.
In reality, both the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army suffered losses in the Guangping Battle, and the true beneficiary was Lu HaiKong.
Although he had exhausted his trump cards, causing him some heartache, when he reviewed the system prompts for this battle, his heartache lessened significantly.
You successfully crushed a division of Zhang Niujiao's Legion (50,000 troops), earning 500,000 merit points for the Han faction.
You eliminated the historical Yellow Turban general Deng Mao, gaining 1,000,000 merit points for the Han faction and obtaining a Golden Treasure Chest.
Your subordinate Dian Wei successfully captured the historical Yellow Turban general Zhang Niujiao, earning 500,000 merit points for the Han faction.
You annihilated a division of He Man's Legion (50,000 troops), earning 500,000 merit points for the Han faction.
Your general, Wen Chou, killed the historical Yellow Turban general Bian Xi, earning 1,000,000 merit points for the Han faction and obtaining a Golden Treasure Chest.
You completed a large-scale battle, earning 1,000,000 personal experience points and a Legendary Treasure Chest.
You successfully eliminated the top-tier historical general Zhang Liang, gaining 15,000,000 merit points for the Han faction and obtaining a Mythical Treasure Chest.
Yes, you read that right, the last reward was indeed a Mythical Treasure Chest!
Perhaps it was because Lu HaiKong killed Zhang Liang while he was using his ultimate ability, and his strength had reached an astonishing 102. During this battle, Lu HaiKong obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest, something he had never acquired before.
It was this Mythical Treasure Chest that slightly lifted Lu HaiKong's spirits, as he had been forced to use the Phoenix Tear.
However, there was still a hint of regret, as items that could significantly boost one's power without any side effects were extremely rare.
In the 6911 version, after using the Phoenix Tear, Lu HaiKong's strength would temporarily increase, and with his current strength at 89, he was guaranteed to surpass 90 once the Nirvana effect ended.
Even so, if given the choice, Lu HaiKong would willingly exchange this Mythical Treasure Chest for another Phoenix Tear. Unfortunately, such an opportunity was hard to come by.
"Oh well, items are meant to be used eventually. Using a necklace to obtain a Mythical Treasure Chest is a bit of a loss, but under the current circumstances, it's still worth it!"
Currently, Huangfu Song's legion has retreated to Qu Liang, indicating that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will continue.
The Han army's forces have been significantly reduced, which is highly advantageous for Lu HaiKong.
As one of the most powerful military forces in Jiuzhou, Lu HaiKong's rescue of the Han army during their time of crisis has elevated his status in the court.
Previously, there were those in the court who sought to punish Lu HaiKong, but now, no one would dare to have such thoughts.
Lu HaiKong, however, did not pay much attention to his standing in the court. What truly mattered to him was taking advantage of the ongoing Yellow Turban Rebellion to develop his own strength as much as possible.
In Beifeng, Wang Ti was working tirelessly to develop the region, while in Jiuzhou, Lu HaiKong's Tomb Raider General was also working feverishly.
During this period, a vast amount of talent and gold were being transferred to Beifeng.
The longer the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted, the more resources Lu HaiKong could absorb. Naturally, he hoped this war would continue.
