Chapter 868: The Final Boss
Chapter 868: The Final Boss
On the 5th of November, 186, a letter of impeachment issued from the Bohai region spread throughout the nation within just a few days.
The letter caused a stir across the country, attracting a gathering of responders from all over. Various feudal lords mobilized their forces, marching towards Luoyang. The plot of the feudal lords' impeachment began to unfold.
At the same time, all Outsider Lords received a plot quest related to the feudal lords' impeachment.
[Feudal Lords' Impeachment]
Quest Type: Plot Quest
Quest Description: Chaos descends from the heavens, the imperial mandate is lost, and a treacherous minister seizes the opportunity to usurp power. It begins with Dong Zhuo and ends with Cao Cao, their extreme cruelty and evil tearing the four seas apart, leaving the nine provinces in disarray and the people in pain and resentment.
Quest Phase 2: Feudal Lords' Alliance
Quest Participation Conditions: 1. Possess at least one county's land, 2. Have a military officer with a Strength of 85 or above, 3. The soldiers participating in the alliance must number at least 50,000 if they are basic troops, at least 5,000 if they are intermediate troops, and at least 1,000 if they are advanced troops.
Quest Rewards: ???
Obviously, participating in the Feudal Lords' Alliance requires certain qualifications, but the difficulty of this quest is not very high. The main challenge lies in the last condition regarding the required number of troops.
This last condition might be challenging for some Outsider Lords, as it demands a substantial force. Those who are not following the elite military route or lack the necessary strength might find this requirement daunting.
While 50,000 basic troops might seem like a lot, maintaining them in Luoyang and sustaining their upkeep until the impeachment ends is a considerable burden. Most Outsider Lords cannot afford such an expense, but for those top-tier Outsider Lords, it's not an issue.
After receiving the impeachment letter, many Outsider Lords across the country had already set out, including the ones mentioned in 'Yue Dan'.
However, Yuan Hong himself was slightly delayed, not due to any military shortcomings but because the quest he received upon completing the impeachment letter was quite surprising.
The Quest Reward
Item Category: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: Upon use, this item can upgrade 1,000 soldiers by one tier!
This reward was obtained by Yuan Hong after completing the Feudal Lords' Impeachment quest. It was quite astonishing for him.
It is known that Yuan Hong possesses a strong cavalry unit led by the top-tier historical general Zhang He.
This cavalry unit once encountered Lu Hai Kong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. To capture Yan Liang, they showed off in front of Lu Hai Kong, only to be defeated, with over a hundred casualties, and Zhang He himself was captured by Lu Hai Kong.
Despite the humiliation they faced in front of Lu Hai Kong, Yuan Hong's cavalry unit gained valuable experience. Now, with the upgrade order in hand, Yuan Hong decided to take some time to upgrade his cavalry unit. Once he finished upgrading his troops, he set out with 30,000 soldiers, including his elite cavalry unit, towards Julu, intending to invite Yuan Shao to join the alliance.
Of course, his invitation to Yuan Shao was just a pretense, as anyone not foolish would understand. Yuan Hong was actually going to force Yuan Shao to leave, and he couldn't rest easy until he left, afraid of what mischief Yuan Shao might cause in his absence.
This situation already indicates that this feudal lords' impeachment will be far more complex than the historical one.
In history, the feudal lords' impeachment was a result of the feudal lords' internal power struggles, which is something the Outsiders are well aware of. However, this knowledge is useless, as this alliance not only fails to change the outcome but makes it even more severe than in history. Moreover, their initial motivation is rooted in conflict, making this alliance potentially very interesting.
After all, they are facing a far more formidable opponent than the historical Dong Zhuo...
While the feudal lords prepared for the alliance, Lu Hai Kong's side was still enduring a bitter defense of the city.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Hai Kong's defense of the city had already lasted several months. The continuous high-intensity battles had left Lu Hai Kong and his entire army exhausted beyond measure. Even Lu Hai Kong, who hadn't engaged in much direct combat, showed signs of fatigue during his calls with Xi Zhi Cai. The state of his army was evident.
Title: The Final Battle: Unveiling the Mystery
Chapter:
The battle against the Outsiders had been grueling, and Lu HaiKong had never experienced such a challenging fight before. In just a few months, the resources consumed by his army were astronomical, with the Black Wind Legion alone requiring billions of arrows.
On top of the equipment replacement and the compensation for fallen soldiers, the logistical operations were a significant strain on Lu HaiKong's resources.
Lu HaiKong's soldiers were formidable, and they typically overwhelmed the enemy with their sheer strength. However, even the strongest troops had moments of fatigue and vulnerability.
Over the months, Lu HaiKong's army suffered significant casualties, losing more than half of his soldiers. The losses weren't limited to the regular NPC soldiers; even Lu HaiKong's four elite units suffered considerable losses.
After several months of relentless fighting, Lu HaiKong's Bathing Legion, which initially had nearly 3,000 soldiers, was now reduced to less than 2,000.
Pan Feng's Guard Legion was Lu HaiKong's focus for several years, and they had access to the best resources from the territory. When Lu HaiKong trained them, their numbers swelled to around 4,500, but now, only 2,500 remained.
In contrast, Gao Shun's Trapping Legion fared slightly better. They started with 5,000 soldiers, and now, 4,000 remained.
Gao Shun's Trapping Legion grew stronger as the battle progressed, their morale and unity becoming their greatest asset, resulting in significantly reduced casualties.
Among the four legions, the Black Wind Legion suffered the least casualties. They primarily relied on long-range attacks and rarely encountered any damage, maintaining their 3,000-strong force.
The final battle was approaching, and Lu HaiKong's vigilance intensified. His past experiences taught him that the closer he got to success, the higher the chance of unexpected events. So, Lu HaiKong's entire focus was on anticipating any potential surprises.
He organized his defenses meticulously and gathered all his generals, preparing for any unforeseen circumstances.
As it turned out, Lu HaiKong's caution was justified. Just as the countdown to the final battle reached thirty minutes, three mysterious stone doors opened, and from each, a figure emerged.
These figures stood at five meters tall, their bodies resembling concrete, with a sinister mask covering their faces and each holding a sword.
When Lu HaiKong saw these figures, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated the Heaven's Eye Technique, probing their information.
The first figure to appear was the Tomb General.
Boss of the NPC Army
Attributes:
Strength: 99, Politics: 00, Strategy: 00, Command: 70
Innate Talent: Immune to Bladed Weapons, Innate Divine Strength
"Three bosses with Strength 99? They were holding out until the end for a reason."
Upon seeing their attributes, Lu HaiKong breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, just as he thought the final battle was about to begin, another figure emerged from the front door, and this one looked completely different from the previous four.
Lu HaiKong's eyes narrowed at the sight of this person.
"As expected, the system isn't making this final battle easy. It seems the last thirty minutes won't be as straightforward as I imagined."
For Lu HaiKong, the good news was that after the four figures emerged, the four mysterious stone doors began to gradually disappear, indicating that this was the final defense of the Outsider City, and Lu HaiKong was about to face the last battle...
