Chapter 863: The Dawn of Hope
September 25, 2017
After obtaining the crossbows, the Black Wind Legion demonstrated the combat prowess that Lu Hai Kong had anticipated.
With no need to worry about the consumption of crossbow bolts, the Black Wind Legion effortlessly mowed down wave after wave of enemies, who lacked any form of intelligence.
As the rain of arrows swept across the battlefield, groups of terracotta soldiers fell one after another.
The killing speed was unimaginable, and it was less of a battle and more like mowing grass. Within a few hours, the Black Wind Legion easily eliminated two to three hundred thousand basic terracotta soldiers.
Subsequently, without returning to the city, the Black Wind Legion, carrying hundreds of carts of crossbow bolts, arrived outside the mysterious stone gate on the right side, intending to forcefully block the gate.
This move seemed crazy, but as long as they could clear out the emerging basic terracotta soldiers, blocking the gate was an easy task for the Black Wind Legion.
Although the mysterious stone gate's spawning speed was fast, with a maximum of two hundred basic terracotta soldiers per minute, as long as the gate was blocked, the Black Wind Legion could kill as many as they appeared.
However, blocking the gate was not simple. As long as the gate is blocked, the Black Wind Legion can kill as many as they come.
On average, killing a basic terracotta soldier required about three crossbow bolts, and with six hundred crossbow bolts, they could eliminate around four hundred and forty thousand basic terracotta soldiers in a day.
With millions of crossbow bolts sent by Wang Ti, the Black Wind Legion could afford to be wasteful for ten days, and with three thousand members, they could easily take shifts.
In other words, as long as they managed it properly, the Black Wind Legion could completely block this mysterious gate, and in fact, after putting their plan into action, they successfully blocked the mysterious stone gate on the right side.
With control over the mysterious stone gate on the right side, Lu Hai Kong immediately focused his forces on dealing with the terracotta soldiers on the other three sides.
With all the necessary supplies delivered, Lu Hai Kong's defense became much easier. He could completely prevent the basic terracotta soldiers from approaching the city walls. In this situation, as long as they could hold out for a few days, at most, it would take around ten days for the [Domain City] to be established, and Lu Hai Kong's mission would be considered thoroughly completed.
After enduring for over ten days, Lu Hai Kong's situation finally transitioned from despair to hope. The dawn of victory was right before his eyes.
At this point, aside from defending the city, what else was on Lu Hai Kong's mind? As for the impeachment memorial, who cares about that? It's not his business.
Lu Hai Kong ignored the impeachment memorial, leaving the other lords in a difficult situation.
They wondered what Lu Hai Kong was up to, as the one person with the qualifications to complete this mission, why wasn't he taking action? Was he not interested in the [Impeachment Memorial] mission?
However, their curiosity was of no use, and no one dared to offend Lu Hai Kong, the undisputed number one lord in the entire world. These lords, each with their own territories and families, were not ordinary people who would dare to provoke Lu Hai Kong.
This mission was not simple, and it was not something that could be accomplished with mere effort. While the third tier of reputation had many places to grind, the top-tier historical officials were enough to frustrate most lords.
Therefore, those who felt they couldn't complete this mission could only wait and hope, while those rare few with the qualifications to finish it were grinding reputation.
But as they waited, a certain person began to enter their field of vision, or rather, someone the lords had known about for a while, but due to the lack of a reputation system, they hadn't paid much attention to him.
In the bustling city of Runan, a renowned figure named Xu Shao, known for his astute character analysis, has recently announced a unique endeavor—a "Yue Dan Ping." This initiative has sent ripples throughout the realm, capturing the attention of many.
The Yue Dan Ping, as described, is a comprehensive evaluation of the heroes and figures of the land. While the system has assigned this task as a means to gain reputation, Lu HaiKong, having just emerged from an intense month-long battle, is less concerned with this endeavor. Having witnessed significant growth in his troops' strength and cohesion, particularly in the Zhenjun Legion, Zhao Er's Bloody Legion, and Ma Han's Black Wind Legion, all of which are now at the Elite level and inching towards the Pinnacle level, Lu HaiKong's focus remains on his soldiers' development.
The potential rewards of the Yue Dan Ping, though enticing, come with significant challenges. Lu HaiKong, having just survived a grueling battle, is more focused on the immediate growth of his troops and the potential surprises the system might have in store for him.
The Yue Dan Ping, in Lu HaiKong's view, is but a glimmer of hope amidst the ongoing battle. He is keenly aware that the four stone gates might reveal unforeseen challenges, perhaps even unleashing creatures with strength surpassing a hundred, posing a formidable threat.
High rewards necessitate high risks, and such scenarios are not to be taken lightly. In this context, Lu HaiKong's attention remains solely on the battle at hand, leaving no room for distractions.
