Chapter 712: Subduing the Ancient Qin Descendants
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong and his group of Qin people had not traveled far when they stopped after sensing that the terrifying aura from Feng Ling Valley had dissipated.
After all, there were too many wounded among Lu HaiKong's group, making a long journey unsuitable for them.
However, after Lu HaiKong's group halted, they also sent some people to keep an eye on Feng Ling Valley. If anything unusual happened, they would immediately leave.
Of course, this was just a cautious measure, as logically, such an event should not have occurred.
Lu HaiKong vaguely felt that the emergence of the demon weapon was an accident. At this time, it should have received the same treatment as Zhang Jiao and been forcefully suppressed, and it should not have truly appeared.
Lu HaiKong's intuition, though unfounded, proved surprisingly accurate.
Early the next morning, the men Lu HaiKong had sent to watch over Feng Ling Valley returned with news.
The thick, ominous black clouds above Feng Ling Valley had already dissipated, which Lu HaiKong's group had noticed early on. After all, they could see the massive clouds disappear or not. But they brought back other news.
The remaining Qin people who stayed behind were quite brave. After the clouds vanished, they ventured into Feng Ling Valley and thoroughly understood the situation there.
They brought back a chilling message—Feng Ling Valley had become a land of death overnight.
Except for the river, which remained unchanged, the vegetation in Feng Ling Valley had withered, and the livestock that once thrived there had all perished. Seeing the livestock turn into skeletons overnight, the Qin people sent by Lu HaiKong to keep an eye on Feng Ling Valley broke into a cold sweat.
When this news reached Lu HaiKong's camp, all the Qin people felt nothing but reverence and gratitude towards Lu HaiKong.
If not for Lu HaiKong, they would have become history like Feng Ling Valley.
However, despite their survival, the Qin people's situation was still dire. Almost all of them had lost relatives, near or far, a type of emotional trauma that they set aside for now.
The destruction of Feng Ling Valley also meant that the Qin people had lost their homeland, a critical issue for them.
After all, they had left in a hurry, carrying few supplies. Now, with their homes and provisions destroyed, they couldn't return, and they wondered how they would survive. Many Qin people began to worry about their future.
Lu HaiKong didn't let them worry for long. After a simple rest and recovering some energy, he emerged.
Amidst the Qin people's confused emotions, Lu HaiKong gathered everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Lu HaiKong!"
Standing on a hill, Lu HaiKong looked down at the Qin people before him and began with an enigmatic opening line.
"This name, everyone probably just learned about it recently. I believe that even though you know this name, you may not know what it signifies beyond the grasslands."
"Let me put it this way: I am the governor of Bing Province in the Han Dynasty, commanding an army of hundreds of thousands and overseeing millions of civilians. I am one of the most powerful individuals in the entire realm!"
"Of course, I'm not boasting. I just want to tell you that the destruction of Feng Ling Valley doesn't matter. I, Lu HaiKong, can lead you back to your homeland and set foot on the land you haven't stepped on for centuries!"
"I can give you the opportunity to reestablish yourselves on that land, to flourish and proudly proclaim to everyone that you, the descendants of the war god Meng Tian, have returned!"
Lu HaiKong stood on the hill, channeling his inner strength and roaring at the Qin people below.
All the Qin people stared at Lu HaiKong in astonishment. In truth, not all of them could understand Lu HaiKong's grand and inspiring words.
After all, centuries had passed, and these Qin people were no longer the same group forced to leave their homeland centuries ago. Their ancestors had settled here, and the concept of a homeland had faded for them.
However, although they couldn't understand everything, they unexpectedly felt their blood boiling.
They could understand one thing: Lu HaiKong was willing to guide and take responsibility for their future!
At this moment, starting with the elite among the Qin people, everyone knelt on one knee and performed an ancient Qin ritual towards Lu HaiKong.
As the ritual of over ten thousand Qin people concluded, Lu HaiKong received a system notification.
Congratulations on successfully subduing 10,031 Pre-Qin Remnants! You have obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest!
Congratulations again on your success! You have acquired two special rewards!
Lu HaiKong never expected that after subduing this group of Pre-Qin Remnants, he would still receive special rewards. However, now is not the time to focus on that.
After incorporating these Pre-Qin Remnants, Lu HaiKong began to busy himself.
On one hand, he used the Sound Transmission Token to inform Bing Province to prepare supplies and a rescue team, while on the other, he started to familiarize himself with the situation of the Qin people.
As Lu HaiKong delved into this, he was shocked. Although he knew that the Qin people had exceptionally high qualities, he never expected them to be that remarkable.
After a day of statistical analysis, Lu HaiKong found that among these ten thousand Qin people, over five hundred had a strength rating above 60, more than a hundred above 70, and seventeen above 80. There was even one individual with a strength rating above 90.
Despite having only one person with a strength rating above 90, if we set that aside and focus on the 70 and 80 stages, the number of Qin people at these levels was significantly higher than Lu HaiKong's side. Moreover, Lu HaiKong noticed that due to environmental limitations, the strength growth of these Qin people had not yet reached its peak. With proper guidance, their strength would undoubtedly become even more formidable, and with careful cultivation, it was possible to nurture several individuals with a strength rating above 90.
After understanding the strength of these Qin people, Lu HaiKong had a vague suspicion that he might have made an incredibly correct decision without realizing it.
If he hadn't brought this group of Qin people out, once the Demon Armament broke the seal, these ten thousand Qin people would likely have become the most terrifying Black Demon Soldiers.
Imagining these ten thousand people empowered by the Demon Qi, rampaging across the grasslands in battle, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If such a situation were to occur, subduing these ten thousand people would undoubtedly be a challenging battle.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong eventually led these Qin people out of Wind Spirit Valley and integrated them into his forces.
With the addition of these Qin people, the already formidable strength of his army instantly increased by at least three levels. Currently, in terms of pure military might, Lu HaiKong was undoubtedly the top military leader in the world.
Although the destruction of Wind Spirit Valley had dashed Lu HaiKong's original plan to build a base in the Borderland Grassland, with the addition of these Qin people, after returning to Bing Province and taking some time to regroup, he could put his plan to conquer the grasslands back on the agenda. At that time, with the grasslands under his control, where couldn't Lu HaiKong build his city?
However, what slightly dampened Lu HaiKong's mood was that these Qin people seemed to have already accepted him as their leader. The reward for subduing them had been condensed into a Mythical Treasure Chest, and if he were to subdue them again individually, he wouldn't receive the chest's reward.
Of course, this minor disappointment was insignificant compared to the joy of gaining the Qin people. Lu HaiKong didn't even complain and quickly forgot about it, wholeheartedly dedicating himself to managing these Pre-Qin Remnants.
Over the next three days, Lu HaiKong was busy with the affairs of the Qin people. He organized them to gather food and quickly take care of the wounded soldiers.
After three days of hard work, Lu HaiKong's rescue team finally arrived.
The first wave consisted of only two thousand Gale Raiders, led by Ma Han, carrying a large number of healing pills, various necessary supplies, and a certain number of physicians.
Their arrival ensured timely treatment for Lu HaiKong's wounded soldiers.
Subsequently, Lu HaiKong left the injured behind, along with a certain number of elite soldiers to take care of them, and began to lead the Qin people back to Bing Province.
It took Lu HaiKong nearly ten days to escort these nearly ten thousand Qin people back to Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress.
Due to the uniqueness of the Qin people, Lu HaiKong didn't plan to bring them directly into Bing Province. Instead, he first settled these ten thousand Qin people at Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress.
When Lu HaiKong brought this group of Qin people over, Tian Feng was already waiting at Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress.
Although Lu HaiKong was quite capable in handling political affairs, he wasn't an expert, especially when it came to issues like settling the Qin people. Many matters were beyond his ability to handle properly, so he needed Tian Feng's assistance.
With Tian Feng's help, Lu HaiKong spent five days finally settling the Qin people.
After settling the Qin people, Lu HaiKong finally had time to open the treasure chests he obtained from Wind Spirit Valley...
