Chapter 832: Water Attack
Chapter 832: Water Attack
September 25th, 2017
In the outskirts of Hexi County, Lu HaiKong's Bloody Legion set up camp near a mountain range.
Thanks to Dian Wei's efforts, the legion had been struggling, but today they finally enjoyed a hearty meal.
Over a dozen wild boars, weighing several hundred kilograms each, were divided among the soldiers. Although the portion for each soldier wasn't substantial, at least they had some meat.
The Bloody Knights, although NPCs, had become more human-like after advancing to the Elite tier. Their emotions had evolved, making them seem happier when they saw meat, unlike their usual stoic demeanor.
After finishing the meal with his soldiers, Lu HaiKong handed command over to Zhao Er and went back to his studies.
Recently, Lu HaiKong had been immersed in the 'Emperor's Heart Sutra'. Not only was he genuinely interested in the book, but he also had a problem he was trying to solve. The issue was the dragon energy sealed within his dantian.
Initially, Lu HaiKong thought that sealing the dragon energy would be the end of his troubles. He believed that with time and effort, he could gradually integrate the dragon energy into his own, and once his strength increased, the problem would be solved.
However, as he attempted to refine and merge a small portion of the dragon energy with his inner power, a concerning issue arose.
Although the integration of dragon energy had indeed brought qualitative changes to his inner power, significantly enhancing both its intensity and quality, his control over it had decreased.
This degree of decline wasn't significant, and others might not have paid much attention to it, but Lu HaiKong couldn't accept it.
He had a firm pursuit in martial arts, and anything less than complete control was unacceptable to him.
Lu HaiKong tried to regain control over his inner power infused with dragon energy, but the results were far from ideal. It wasn't a matter of talent or strength, but rather a problem with the dragon energy itself, as Lu HaiKong discovered through his research.
He couldn't control the dragon energy. No matter what methods he employed, as long as the dragon energy existed within his inner power, he couldn't achieve complete mastery.
Lu HaiKong realized that his profession as a mountain fortress leader might be the only solution.
But even this realization didn't provide an immediate answer. Lu HaiKong couldn't change his profession right away, so he continued searching for a solution in the 'Emperor's Heart Sutra'.
This problem wasn't a small one, and although Lu HaiKong couldn't find a direct solution in a short time, he gained valuable insights from the book.
The 'Emperor's Heart Sutra' offered Lu HaiKong surprises in various aspects, including martial arts, leadership, and even politics. The more he read, the more he felt captivated by the book's contents.
However, as Lu HaiKong delved into the sutra, a group of people on a nearby mountain peak, their eyes cold, watched his camp below.
"They've reached the designated location and set up their defenses. Now's the perfect time to make our move." One of them, gazing down at Lu HaiKong's camp, spoke to the man who had been meditating with closed eyes.
"Since we're ready, let's go ahead."
As the meditating man opened his eyes and spoke, the group of people sprang into action.
The group consisted of about a hundred people. After receiving the order, they didn't wield swords or knives but instead grabbed tools like hoes and began frantically digging into the mountain.
In truth, Lu HaiKong had been caught in a trap since entering Hexi County. The blockade by the County Commander was just the beginning of the scheme, and now, the plan was fully underway.
The County Commander was merely a pawn in someone's grand plan. His role was to force Lu HaiKong to change course and take the path he was currently on.
Their plan proceeded smoothly, and although Lu HaiKong had defeated the county soldiers, he ultimately took this path.
By taking this path, Lu HaiKong had unknowingly fallen into their trap.
The path seemed wide and open, but above the mountain where Lu HaiKong's camp was located, there was a massive reservoir. At this moment, the reservoir hung right above their heads.
To be honest, even those who plotted against Lu HaiKong hadn't expected such good fortune.
Initially, they had planned to breach the reservoir as Lu HaiKong passed by, timing it so that the water would hit his troops. Although this might not have caused significant damage, it could have given Lu HaiKong) time to react and potentially minimize the casualties.
But now, due to the County Commander's words, Lu HaiKong had turned to defeat the county soldiers, wasting several hours. As a result, they had to set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
In the 1619 book, the truth is revealed!
This camp was a death trap. Without any precautions, if the reservoir was breached, the water would rush down the mountain, potentially wiping out Lu HaiKong's entire force.
"The world's number one army? Let's see who's stronger, them or nature's might."
As the meditating man opened his eyes, satisfied with his subordinates' progress, he looked down at Lu HaiKong's camp with a cold smile.
Almost simultaneously with his smile, the reservoir, half-dug, was breached. The water from the massive reservoir rushed down, and the initially one-meter-wide opening was instantly torn apart, creating a gap over ten meters wide. The water roared like a dragon, rushing down the mountain towards Lu HaiKong's camp.
The group was well-prepared, and as the water surged down, they had loosened many boulders along the way.
With the boulders rolling, the water formed a terrifying torrent, carrying countless massive rocks as it rushed down the slope towards Lu HaiKong's camp. The scene resembled the end of the world.
The sheer power of nature was horrifying. Even a martial artist with a strength of 90 might struggle to survive such an onslaught.
