Chapter 726: Crushing Suppression
Chapter 726: Crushing Suppression
September 25, 2017
The group of lone warriors was clearly not a newly formed team; their actions revealed this fact.
This group of lone warriors operated with discipline, and before they officially began their operation, some of them had already infiltrated the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress using their unique skills.
They employed the tactics of Lu Haikong, starting their operation at midnight, using the infiltrated members to open the fortress gates and lead over a thousand lone warriors into the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress.
In this step, the group of lone warriors acted very smoothly. The infiltrated warriors moved out just before midnight and easily overpowered the dozens of mountain bandit saber fighters (elite) guarding the gate, effortlessly opening it.
As the gate opened, over a thousand lone warriors who had been waiting in full battle readiness rushed into the fortress in just about five minutes.
"Lu Haikong probably never imagined that one day his own base would be taken down using his most proficient tactics, did he?"
After the lone warriors entered Lu Haikong's fortress, seeing the unfinished defenses, the leader of the group, a lone warrior with a combat strength of 90, showed a mocking expression, then raised his hand and smiled cruelly, saying, "Everyone, let the revelry that belongs to us begin!"
Accompanying these words was the deafening cheer of over a thousand lone warriors.
At this moment, all the lone warriors were rubbing their fists and palms in anticipation of the plunder and revelry that awaited them. However, just as they were about to start their operation, suddenly, torches lit up along the fortress walls, and a group of mountain bandits with bows and arrows emerged.
"Oh, they're pretty quick to react, but what can these mere mountain bandit archers do to us?"
Not a single person among the thousand lone warriors showed any signs of apprehension at this sudden scene; they all remained calm.
Every member of this group had a combat strength of 69 or higher and was equipped with at least elite-level gear. Why would they fear these mere 'mountain bandit archers'?
However, as the archers on the walls began shooting, they realized something was wrong!
The archers above them were not 'mountain bandit archers' but another elite unit of Lu Haikong's, the 'mountain bandit divine archers'!
Each of these archers had the skills of a commander, and some even surpassed ordinary commanders in their archery abilities. Moreover, each was equipped with exceptional-grade bows and arrows. What kind of scene would it be if an entire legion of 1,500 mountain bandit divine archers attacked at once?
The spectacle was beyond the imagination of the lone warriors!
Each of the thousand arrows carried terrifying destructive power and incredible accuracy. As the arrows began raining down, the lone warriors instantly felt a 1.5 times increase in gravity affecting their bodies.
It's important to note that these lone warriors were all wearing equipment tailored to their combat abilities. This sudden increase in gravity by 1.5 times dealt a critical blow to some warriors who could have otherwise dodged or deflected the arrows.
In just the first wave of arrows, nearly a thousand lone warriors were taken out instantly!
This caused the entire lone warrior legion to fall into chaos.
Admittedly, these lone warriors had formidable combat strength, but they were not a well-trained army. Despite having some discipline, they were still a group of lone warriors hastily assembled. When faced with this kind of attack, this hastily assembled force instantly turned into a disorganized mob.
Not only could they not support or protect each other, but they became obstacles to one another. At this moment, it was evident how different an untrained mob was from a disciplined legion.
From the first wave of arrows raining down from above, the lone warrior group completely fell apart, with no desire or intention to counterattack, only able to endure the barrage of arrows.
Even the leader with a combat strength of 90 couldn't do anything in this situation. A group like this could only fight battles where they had the upper hand. When faced with such circumstances, their high morale instantly crumbled.
"Run! We've fallen into a trap! They knew we were coming to attack the Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress, and they've been waiting with a trap ready!"
No one knew who shouted this, but it caused the lone warrior group to completely fall apart.
In this situation, many lone warriors fled outside the fortress walls, while some rushed into the fortress. At this point, no one was thinking of killing the archers on the walls.
Those who fled outside the walls were relatively lucky, as no one stopped their escape. However, the group that rushed into the fortress had a terrible fate.
In this campaign targeting the grasslands, Lu Haikong had taken many elite warriors with him but also left behind those unsuitable for grassland battles, including Pan Feng's Royal Guard. Those who entered the fortress immediately encountered the fierce resistance of the Royal Guard.
In one-on-one fights, the Royal Guard might not stand a chance against these lone warriors, but once they formed battle formations, the lone warriors with combat strengths above 80 could display their prowess, while the rest would likely be easily defeated.
In the face of those with a Combat Strength above 80, it wasn't easy to show off their prowess, especially under the influence of this gravity-enhanced environment, which significantly diminished their fighting capabilities.
However, on the battlefield, there was one individual who remained relatively unaffected—a Lone Warrior with a Combat Strength of 90.
Among those with a Combat Strength above 90, only a few could maintain their composure and have ideas about Lu HaiKong's Mountain Bandit Fortress.
But Li Yang's innate talent was slightly inferior to Yue'er's, and his combat style wasn't as wild. It took him much longer to break through, and he did so unexpectedly through inheritance.
After breaking through, his situation was much better than Yue'er's, but he still faced a similar dilemma.
Every day, he witnessed his physical condition deteriorating, enduring the constant fear of impending death, an indescribably miserable experience. This was his second life, and under these circumstances, his mental state was far worse than Yue'er's. It meant he couldn't follow the path of reincarnation like Yue'er.
His only option was to believe in the words of the person who guided him, attack and capture Lu HaiKong's Mountain Bandit Fortress, and find the Divine Martial Pill within the fortress, which could prolong his life.
In this situation, Li Yang couldn't retreat; he had no other choice!
So, when the Royal Guard surged forward, Li Yang, along with some Lone Warriors with a Combat Strength above 80, charged into battle.
Wielding a crescent moon halberd, Li Yang unleashed a formidable power. From the moment he charged, with a single swing, he slashed through Lu HaiKong's carefully cultivated Mountain Bandit Guards.
In a blink of an eye, Li Yang had killed one of them.
Then, under his leadership, the slaughter began!
The Mountain Bandit Guards were much stronger than ordinary soldiers. Even with a Combat Strength of 80 or even 90, these Lone Warriors faced a formidable foe.
Within minutes, they had slain dozens of them.
However, these Mountain Bandit Guards were indeed the elite under Lu HaiKong's command. When faced with such an overwhelming enemy, they quickly formed a defensive formation, ready to defend with all their might!
Over a thousand Mountain Bandit Guards defended fiercely. Even Li Yang couldn't do much against them in a short time, as he had only about ten people by his side. It was impossible to defeat this entire unit of Mountain Bandit Guards.
Fortunately, they hadn't come to kill the Mountain Bandit Guards.
After the Mountain Bandit Guards assumed a defensive formation, they decided to bypass them and head towards the interior of the fortress.
Just as these Lone Warriors, including some high-level Combat Strength individuals, were about to circumvent the Mountain Bandit Guards, a powerful and savage aura erupted.
The moment this aura appeared, everyone, including Li Yang, paled in fear.
Everyone knew that such a terrifying aura belonged to someone with a Combat Strength above 90!
"Who dares to cause chaos in our Mountain Bandit Fortress!"
With a roar, Pan Feng rode a yellowish warhorse, brandishing a battle axe, and charged towards Li Yang and his group.
Pan Feng's Combat Strength was originally at the high level of 90, and he had inherited the Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Firmament, making his combat prowess truly formidable, and his aura even more intimidating.
"He's Pan Feng, the historical figure who was chopped down by Hua Xiong in a few moves. Even such a useless figure could reach a Combat Strength of 90. It seems Lu HaiKong's Divine Martial Pills are indeed numerous!"
Li Yang's words immediately stirred up the greed within the Lone Warriors, and the ones with a Combat Strength above 80 behind him didn't retreat. Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Li Yang pointed his crescent moon halberd at Pan Feng and said coldly, "A mere Pan Feng, and yet Lu HaiKong has cultivated such a third-rate historical figure to this extent. This guy is probably not that strong. Watch me slay this fellow to give Lu HaiKong a wake-up call. Cultivating such a useless person is worse than raising a few pigs!"
As Li Yang charged forward, despite Pan Feng's formidable aura, Li Yang had his own pride. He didn't believe his strength was inferior to that of a historical figure with a Combat Strength of 90. Being at the same level, he should be able to defeat a historical figure like Pan Feng.
With this overconfident mindset, Li Yang, an exceptional figure among the Immortals, clashed with Pan Feng. In an instant, he was struck down by Pan Feng's axe!
He had thought too much of himself. He wasn't Lu HaiKong, and the Combat Strength of Lone Warriors and historical figures, especially at the highest levels, couldn't be equated, except for the truly abnormal cases like Lu HaiKong and Yue'er...
