Chapter 852: An Easy Victory
Chapter 852: An Easy Victory
September 25, 2017
Using the Black Wind Legion's unique trait, 'Copper Wall and Iron Wall', Lu HaiKong strategically forced the enemy's generals to use their slow movement to consume the duration of their own 'Copper Wall and Iron Wall' trait. With the help of swamps, obstacles, and the Black Wind Legion's own slow movement, they successfully held off the Tomb Legion for an hour.
This was one of Lu HaiKong's simple yet effective tactics.
However, Lu HaiKong, being a seasoned veteran, understood that accidents were inevitable on the battlefield. He was always prepared with backup plans or supplementary tactics.
But it seemed that Lu HaiKong's backup plan wouldn't be needed this time. Everything was going according to plan, and with the help of the Black Wind Legion, they successfully stopped the Tomb Legion for over an hour.
In the end, Lu HaiKong even witnessed the disappearance of the Tomb Legion's 'Copper Wall and Iron Wall' trait. With a wave of his hand, he generously allowed the Black Wind Legion to retreat, letting the Tomb Legion pass through the two-mile-long ditch.
As the Tomb Legion crossed the ditch, the Bloodbath Legion, led by Zhao Er and assisted by Dian Wei, immediately charged forward.
At this moment, the Bloodbath Legion was still under Zhao Er's command, with Dian Wei as his right-hand man. Lu HaiKong himself didn't personally engage in the fight.
Although Lu HaiKong was in good condition, especially after his renewed cultivation of the 'Purple Qi Rising Dragon Technique', his inner dragon energy was an unpredictable factor. In such a situation, Lu HaiKong preferred to avoid combat.
After all, as a military commander, it was best to stay out of harm's way when personal safety couldn't be guaranteed.
Besides, the Tomb Legion was no match for Dian Wei and Zhao Er. Why would Lu HaiKong personally intervene?
At this point, the Bloodbath Legion had only about 2,500 members, but every one of them was an Elite or above. Among them, 300 were even of the 'Excellence' level. With their excellent equipment and skills, they were no less formidable than the Tomb Legion. Once they activated their 'Bloodbath' legion trait, they could easily overwhelm their opponents.
However, in this kind of battle, the soldiers' overwhelming strength often paled in comparison to the generals' brilliance.
When the Bloodbath Legion and the Tomb Legion clashed, Dian Wei and Zhao Er, these two abnormal beings, immediately showcased their terrifying power.
In front of these two freaks, the Tomb Legion soldiers and their strong defense were like grass under the trampling hooves.
Dian Wei's halberd effortlessly cut through the Tomb Legion soldiers, while Zhao Er's gunshots were like a hot knife through butter.
"The Tomb Generals?" Lu HaiKong, standing a mile away, collected their data with his keen eyes, despite the distance.
Tomb Generals
Attributes:
Strength: 90, Politics: 00, Strategy: 00, Leadership: 60
General Trait: Copper Wall and Iron Wall, Nine Ox Strength
Nine Ox Strength: Active Trait, After activation, it will enhance terrifying strength within thirty minutes.
"An average strength of 90, plus a general trait, interesting!" Lu HaiKong commented, his face showing no worry.
These three bosses with an average strength of 90 were no cause for concern. Dian Wei and Zhao Er could easily crush them.
As Lu HaiKong examined the attributes of the three Tomb Generals, a fight broke out on the other side. Dian Wei, this fellow, took the initiative before Zhao Er, directly charging towards the three Tomb Generals and restraining them.
"Little Er, take these three. You go find yourself an opponent," Dian Wei said, his face flushed.
Ignoring Zhao Er, Dian Wei directly engaged the three Tomb Generals.
Zhao Er, witnessing this, sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Zhao Er had a good sense of the bigger picture. Knowing his role as a military commander, he understood what he should do. So, with a nod, he led the Bloodbath Legion to continue their assault and expand their achievements.
The Bathing Blood Legion's strategy was solid, and the battle was almost won from the start. The Tomb Legion, despite their eventual defeat, put up a certain level of organized resistance.
Zhao Er noticed a detail—even in their comprehensive defeat, the Tomb Legion maintained a sense of order in their resistance. This didn't surprise Zhao Er, as he had known from the beginning that there was a leader among them.
So, in the next battle, Zhao Er aimed to expand their advantage and, more importantly, find and eliminate that leader! For the commander of the Bathing Blood Legion, who primarily employs beheading tactics, this minor issue wouldn't hinder Zhao Er.
Not long after separating from Dian Wei, Zhao Er spotted the Tomb Legion's leader among the soldiers. Lu Hai Kong's eyes lit up, and he immediately charged towards the target.
With both the Tomb General and Tomb Marshal now engaged, the battle was nearing its conclusion. Once these four leaders were taken down, the battle would essentially be over.
In other words, the outcome of the battle hinged on whether Zhao Er and Dian Wei could defeat their opponents.
Regarding this matter, Lu Hai Kong was more confident than anyone. When Zhao Er found the Tomb Marshal, Lu Hai Kong had already seen his attributes.
Tomb Marshal
Strength: 90, Politics: 00, Strategy: 00, Leadership: 80
General Trait: Copper Wall and Iron Bastion, My Army Control
My Army Control: Passive Leadership Trait, Increases Control over My Army
It was evident that this was a leader-type boss. To Lu Hai Kong, this type of boss was a joke. This guy might have intelligence, but his leadership wasn't exceptional; he was just a general with a leader's skin and a few added points.
In the 6-9-1 version, it's a definite mistake!
Upon seeing these guys' attributes, Lu Hai Kong knew that victory in the battle was a sure thing.
As expected, Zhao Er and Dian Wei's battle ended swiftly, but the first to finish wasn't Zhao Er; it was Dian Wei.
The opponent had three people, but all three focused on defense and strength. Even after using the Nine Oxen Strength, their strength was terrifying, but it still wasn't enough in front of Dian Wei's might.
Dian Wei's strength was inhuman. After cultivating the Body-Forging Fist Technique, he ventured further down the path of abnormality.
If the Tomb General had chosen a different path, he might have caused some trouble. But in a battle of brute force, Dian Wei, despite being a mortal, easily overpowered them.
In the clash of violence, it took only a few dozen strikes. The 90-strength boss was swiftly killed.
Soon after Dian Wei took down the Tomb General, Zhao Er quickly ended his battle. Continuing with the Bathing Blood Legion, they annihilated every remaining Tomb Soldier, thoroughly concluding this effortless battle.
Almost simultaneously with Zhao Er's defeat of the last Tomb Soldier, a system prompt followed.
[You have defeated the Tomb Legion. You gain a Mythical-tier Treasure Chest, and your Black Wind and Bathing Blood Legions gain a large amount of war experience.]
[Your subordinate Dian Wei has defeated three Tomb Generals. You gain a Legendary Treasure Chest.]
[Your subordinate Zhao Nanli has defeated the Tomb Marshal. You gain a Legendary Treasure Chest.]
[Your subordinate Swift Horse Raiders (1121 people) have reached maximum experience and leveled up. Their current rank is Elite.]
Four consecutive system prompts: a Mythical Treasure Chest, two Legendary Treasure Chests, and with the advancement of over a thousand Black Wind Legion members, this harvest was quite a gain.
However, something slightly dissatisfied Lu Hai Kong was that Dian Wei had only killed one Tomb General, resulting in a loss of two Treasure Chests. Lu Hai Kong realized that as Dian Wei's strength increased, the harvest from Treasure Chests would decrease.
Just as Lu Hai Kong lamented the loss of two Legendary Treasure Chests, another system prompt sounded.
[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated the Tomb Legion and held off the first wave of the siege. Your mission evaluation has increased.]
[The first wave of the siege has ended. The second wave will commence in three days. Prepare for the defense!]
Here is the basic information about the second wave of the siege.
Tomb Legion: 3000 Tomb Soldiers, 3 Tomb Generals, 1 Tomb Marshal
Stone Cavalry Legion: 1000 Stone Cavalry, 1 Stone Cavalry Marshal
Primary Terracotta Army Legion: 50,000 people
