War plot... too dangerous. Even high-level [Players] can’t be sure they can survive on the battlefield. This is bad news for the [Players].
After parting with the [Players], Li Changhe changed back to the [Great Wall Mountain Armor] and pretended to have just returned from inspection, arriving back at the Thousand Cattle Guard camp at Yanhe Gate.
Just a short while after Li Changhe’s arrival, a ssenger ca, ordering ’Li Ba’ to lead his n to Huaiyuan Square, which was next to Longevity Square, while the task of sealing off the city gates was assigned to the left and right Jinwu Guards.
Li Changhe had a thought, and it seed that his cheap godfather had already reported the situation. As expected, the Thousand Cattle Guards were to seal off Longevity Square.
Quickly assuming the role of ’Li Ba’, Li Changhe led his n to occupy Huaiyuan Square overnight. There were also high-ranking officers from other armies stationed there for blockades. Li Changhe had just entered Huaiyuan Square when he encountered three inspections.
After confirming his identity, Li Changhe was placed in the Great Yunjing Temple in Huaiyuan Square. Perhaps it was his identity as a Zhonglang General of the Thousand Cattle Guards, or perhaps Father Xia’s influence that had arranged him in this easily defensible and difficult-to-attack location, which could be considered a kind of preferential treatnt.
From the temple in the Great Yunjing Temple, Li Changhe looked towards Longevity Square. Even without using the [Eagle’s Demon Eye], he could see countless torches surrounding Longevity Square.
"Dark currents are surging," mumbled Li Changhe.
No matter how wild his imagination was, he couldn’t have expected the current situation. The Great Tang Iron Cavalry battling the Chaos Rat Tide? Utter nonsense! Was this really changing the plot? This was clearly a collision of two different worlds!
...
After a night, Changan City seed much quieter. This was not an illusion, as the officials of Dali Temple, Scoundrels, and various governnt office servants had all co out last night to evacuate the residents of Changan City to the outskirts.
While passing the ti, by using the [Eagle’s Demon Eye] to watch the scenery, Li Changhe saw [Moon God] and [Heavy Punch] busily working among the crowd for a long ti. Seeing the dark circles under their eyes, Li Changhe couldn’t help but laugh dishonestly.
Emperor Li Er was really willing to invest in this crisis. This demonstrated that he intended to treat Changan City as a battlefield.
It was in line with Emperor Li Shimin’s temperant. Although, in history, he was praised and criticized for imprisoning his father and killing his brother, he was also one of the most dazzling emperors among all Hua Country’s dynasties. Otherwise, why would the Tang Dynasty be called the most glorious era?
On the other side of Huaiyuan Square, where Li Changhe was stationed, was the West Market of Changan, where many traders from Southeast Asia and Western Region countries were residing. Every one of them was remarkably humble, even towards the beggars of Tang Dynasty, they did not dare to insult. Li Changhe even saw a fabulously dressed Barbarian donating copper coins to a beggar. However, the beggar threw the money back at him and spat on the ground, which was a reflection of the pride of the Tang Dynasty people.
Such arrogance could be seen even in a beggar of the Tang Dynasty. It illustrated how haughty Tang emperors were. Wanting to fight, regardless of their opponents being humans or rats.
I wonder if those bootlickers in later generations would blush if they saw this scene?
By noon, the [Players] finally gathered again.
Moon God and Heavy Punch, having official identities, easily entered Huaiyuan Square.
It was a bit more troubleso for Bai Luohe and Mo Mang, and it was only by using Li Changhe’s identity as a military doctor that allowed the two to enter Huaiyuan Square.
With so many experts around, even Mo Mang didn’t dare to sneak in as he had before.
In one of the side rooms of the Great Yunjing Temple.
Moon God and Heavy Punch had exhausted expressions as they had received orders last night to evacuate the residents overnight under the pretext of preventing a plague.
"It seems the Emperor wants to fight the Rat people in Changan," Moon God muttered as she drank an energy-recovery potion, "It looks like he plans to evacuate everyone from Changan and prepare for a head-on confrontation with the Rat people."
Heavy Punch nodded, "The problem is that Tang people have violent tempers. So probably realize this is not so plague, but rather the prelude to a war. They are all unwilling to leave. I just persuaded so people to evacuate, and the mont I turned around, I saw them putting on their armor, saying they were going to the army camp to report."
"The governnt military system," Li Changhe nodded slightly, "So that’s why scattered soldiers are reporting to various armies."
"Not only the army, but the Jianghu is also tumultuous," said Mo Mang. "I thought my identity would be the most free, but I suddenly received a letter from the Jianghu people, stating many experts are heading to Changan, preparing to serve justice or sothing."
"Are we not in Tang Dynasty’s most glorious mont, yet Tang people are still this fierce. By the ti of Emperor Li Zhi’s reign, wouldn’t it turn the world upside down?" Moon God sighed, "Well, let’s not worry about that for now. Have you thought of any strategies, Master?"
Li Changhe shook his head slightly, "But at least I have organized so information."
"Firstly, the existence of the Transcendent. My supernatural symbiotic body and I wandered around Huaiyuan Square for a while and encountered more than a dozen powerful soldiers. They should be the so-called Transcendent. Also, the people in black clothes we encountered last night were terrifyingly powerful. They are undoubtedly the Transcendent as well. Their strength is probably a challenge even for Moon God, right?"
Moon God and the others nodded. Transcendent were experts whose power transcended ordinary people. In fact, [Players] could be considered Transcendent too, but they relied on the [Evolution Ga]. Real Transcendent were self-trained, rarely seen in the modern era, but often appeared in the plot-mission worlds. These were all variables.
"Secondly, the enemy, we can now confirm it’s the Warhamr Rat Plague. From their conversation last night, as soon as they appeared, Great Tang had already discovered them. In order to stabilize the Rat people first, the Emperor probably conferred so title on the Rat Lord and so on. Then he ordered the returning military generals to bring the army back as well. Of course, the Rat people played dirty too, submitting on the surface for a few days, but secretly tampering with teleportation gates. Both sides were in an unspoken agreent to kill each other."
"His Majesty can’t stand sand in his eyes. He will not allow these ghost-like Rat people to live, let alone in Changan. The pride of the Tang people should not be underestimated." Soone spoke softly.
"That’s right, the Great Tang is amazing." Li Changhe continued, "Lastly, based on what I heard from my cheap godfather last night, the two major generals are returning soon with 200,000 soldiers. It would be a ho battle for the Tang dynasty, so there’s no need to worry about morale and logistics. But as you all know about the Rat Plague, they’ll recklessly produce more soldiers with a single teleportation gate. If there are also those high-tech rats, the danger level of this battlefield might be comparable to that of the First or Second World War. There’s a high probability that the Great Tang won’t be able to withstand it."
"The First and Second World War? Are those wars from your world?" Soone asked with a soft smile.
At this mont, Li Changhe realized sothing was off.
Damn it, who’s been answering this whole ti? They don’t even know about the First or Second World War?!
He looked back and saw that Moon God and the others were on high alert, while soone who shouldn’t have been there was smiling at Li Changhe.
"Cheap godfather?" He chuckled, "Why am I cheap to you?"
Father Xia! How did he get here?
Why didn’t Yun Ting warn ? Why didn’t I notice? Li Changhe, without ti to think, realized that being discovered by a plot character as a [Player] was the most terrifying thing.
Li Changhe’s face changed drastically as he instantly pulled out his compound bow and called for Yun Ting but received no response...
