Chapter 112: Hidden Mission, Terrifying Lu Demon God
Immediately, Long Chen spoke, ’Dong Zhuo has stationed troops inside Hulao Pass, blocking the central route of our allied forces. Now, we can send out half of our forces to meet the enemy and break through the dangerous Hulao Pass!’
In response, Yuan Shao ordered nine vassals, including Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan, and Long Chen, to march towards Hulao Pass to confront the enemy.
The nine vassals raised their troops individually.
Wang Kuang, the Governor of Henei, led his troops and arrived first.
Lu Bu directly led thirty thousand cavalry from Bingzhou, galloping to meet the enemy.
Wang Kuang arranged his army in formation upon arrival at the gate. When he inspected the enemy’s general position, he coincidentally encountered Lu Bu who was advancing. freēwebnovel.com
Lu Bu wore a three-forked hairpin and a purple-gold crown, draped in a red brocade robe from Western Sichuan. He wore a beast-faced, head-swallowing chainmail and a belt adorned with intricate lion ornaments.
With a bow and arrows at his side, Lu Bu held the Sky-Cleaving Halberd, seated on a red hare horse that howled in the wind.
Indeed, he was the ’Man among Men, Horse among Horses.’
As a major vassal, Wang Kuang’s forces naturally included exceptional individuals. Some recognized Lu Bu and exclaimed, ’Isn’t this the same Lu Bu mentioned by Jingang Laobabi as the number one warrior?!’
’We’ve actually encountered this fierce person. It’s over; we should find a way to escape as soon as possible...’
’Exactly, or else we’ll lose our lives here...’
Even before the battle began, the morale was already shaken.
Wang Kuang turned and asked, ’Who dares to go into battle? If you can defeat the enemy general, you will be rewarded with a hundred gold!’
Under the heavy reward, there would surely be reckless individuals!
A general from behind rode out with a spear.
Wang Kuang looked at this person; he was none other than the renowned Henei general, Fang Yue.
Seeing an enemy general rushing out from the camp, Lu Bu immediately spurred his horse to meet him.
In Lu Bu’s eyes, there was a disdainful and arrogant attitude towards the heavens. However, his tremendous strength indeed gave him the right to be arrogant!
As the two horses collided, in less than five rounds, a dark golden light shattered the void, and Fang Yue was pierced by Lu Bu’s halberd under his horse.
Lu Bu grinned arrogantly, ’Too weak! Too weak!!!’
Then he raised his halberd and charged again.
The Sky-Cleaving Halberd spun wildly, and dark golden sharp halberds shot out in all directions.
Wherever they went, it was like a purgatory on earth.
The corpses and wreckage were unbearable to look at. Some soldiers had their arms forcibly cut off, while others were decapitated, with brain matter spraying out.
Wang Kuang’s army suffered a great defeat, scattering in all directions.
Upon seeing Lu Bu’s fiery red figure, the soldiers were filled with anger, fear, and shock. They discarded their helmets and armor, fleeing in all directions!
Lu Bu, alone, charged east and west, as if in a realm of no one amidst hundreds of thousands of troops.
In the moment of his killing spree, the blood-red eyes would emit a dark golden, eerie light, and his maniacal laughter echoed.
His Sky-Cleaving Halberd radiated rolling golden light, resembling a god descending or a demon arriving!
’Hahaha!!!’
’Even if you have ten thousand armies, you cannot stop me, Lu Bu, alone!!!!’
The demonic and mad laughter resounded through the sky, lingering like evil spirits around Wang Kuang’s army.
Fear fell like thunder—
Is he, is he a devil?!!!
What kind of man is he after all!!!
Fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi’s armies arrived one after another to rescue Wang Kuang, and only then did Lu Bu, holding his halberd, retreat.
The three vassals each suffered significant losses in personnel and horses and retreated thirty miles to set up camp.
Shortly after, the five armies also arrived, and the nine vassals gathered in the main tent to discuss how to defeat Lu Bu and break through Hulao Pass.
Wang Kuang, with tears streaming down his face, mournfully said, ’Since I raised my army until now, I have never been in such a sorry state!’
’That Lu Bu is like a god. Faced with my hundreds of thousands of troops, he is not the least bit afraid and has even killed thousands of soldiers...’
’This man is brave; it seems no one can match him!’
The outsiders who had followed Wang Kuang were even more frightened by Lu Bu.
They had never seen such a fierce warrior! Today, they had truly widened their horizons, losing their composure and being utterly terrified.
’In my opinion, let’s wait for Lord Yuan and the others to arrive before deciding!’
’Exactly! Lu Bu is undoubtedly the number one warrior; none of us is his match!’
Long Chen frowned slightly. He also held great respect for Lu Bu, as regardless of Lu Bu’s character, he deserved the title of the top warrior in the Three Kingdoms.
Moreover, at this time, Lu Bu was approaching his peak, becoming even more terrifying.
Even with Long Chen’s ’Top-tier Warrior Experience Card,’ it would probably be difficult to withstand Lu Bu.
At this moment, a scout outside urgently reported, ’News! Lu Bu is challenging us outside the camp!’
The crowd was shocked and didn’t know how to respond...
In Long Chen’s mind, a metallic sound from the system echoed.
"Ding! Triggering hidden mission: Battle Lu Bu for one hundred rounds! (Player himself or a subordinate)"
"Mission Difficulty: SSS level"
"Mission Reward: Gold-tier Lottery *5"
"Note: The Gold-tier Lottery includes a small number of gold-tier artifacts, equipment, elixirs, blueprints, etc..."
Not only in Long Chen’s mind, but all the outsiders present also became aware of this message.
The initially timid mindset gradually settled.
"What the hell! Such generous rewards!"
"Gold-tier treasures, ah ah ah!"
The desire for wealth lingered in the hearts of every outsider, even shocking Long Chen.
"In this case, fighting against Lu Bu is not impossible!" Long Chen secretly thought.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of his subordinates, Wang Kuang asked, "Do any of you have the courage to fight against Lu Bu?"
"Certainly!" one person replied, saluted, and then went down to pick up his weapon.
However, not long after, news came that he had been killed.
The outsiders calmed down a bit.
They knew that even with such generous rewards, it probably wouldn’t be something they, ordinary folks, could obtain.
So, one by one, they set their eyes on Long Chen.
At the moment, Long Chen might be the one among the players with the best chance of getting this reward.
One outsider shook his head secretly and said, "Even someone like Sword Wind would probably be helpless!"
"Do you know how much martial power Lu Bu has?"
Someone immediately asked, "How much is it?"
He whispered, "105!!! And that’s not the limit. If it reaches the limit, it can directly go to 109!!!"
"Is there any hero in this world who can reach such a level?!"
"Brother, how do you know this information, and how can I know if you’re not deceiving us?"
"This is my talent. I can view the attribute panel of local NPCs without level restrictions, except for those NPCs enhanced by special effects..."
"Damn, awesome, brother! Although this talent seems a bit weak, if you join some big shots, you’ll definitely be valued!"
These words naturally did not escape Long Chen’s ears.
Then Long Chen quickly clasped his fists and asked, "Brother, is what you just said about your talent true? If it is indeed true, how about we form an alliance? You can become my affiliated territory!"
The so-called affiliated territory is another way of forming alliances between players in the game "Great Lord."
If he could form an alliance with this person, it would provide a significant advantage for his future strategic development!
After all, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the key to a hundred victories!
