Another red sun, the boisterous battlefield regained its silence.
Courage, tragedy, and hot-bloodedness, these factors could not truly decide the result of a battle. Strength, technology, and equipnt determined the outco.
In any field, the player army was losing out.
The east troop’s arc formation was a gargantuan trap. It was like the player army was diving into a pocket, as they got struck by firepower from all sides.
Under such a perfect formation, thermal weapons like the cannons and hanguns were at their most powerful. anwhile, the players were using cold weapons, so how could they not lose?
In less than two hours, the victor was decided.
The results of the east troops had exceeded everyone’s expectations. Through this battle, the player army of Singapore was utterly annihilated. In the end, less than ten thousand n were able to escape through the teleportation formation and return to Lion City.
As for the hostages strapped to the wooden poles, they naturally were not so fortunate. During this battle, the players were simply too rash. They wanted to save their comrades, but they failed and sacrificed themselves in the process.
No wonder Chen Guang would feel so heart pained.
After the battle, the bustling Fengshan County had totally beco an empty town. When Zheng He saw that, he ordered his troops to Attack it. Without expending much energy, they took down Fengshan County.
In just a day, Fengshan County fell.
Its fall ant that the country wall had entered a full scale war.
The east troops as they were hiding behind the defences, only lost so gunpowder and ammo, the amount of casualties were less than a thousand, what a miracle.
With that, it was also a good news for attacking Lion City.
……
Lion City, imperial palace.
The mont Fengshan County fell, the Guards housed in the palace finally appeared. They moved into the city gates and walls to take over Defence.
Their armor, shields and weapons were all top grade products.
At the sa ti, the Snow White tiger in the palace had totally awaken.
The entire Lion City was wide awake.
……
The bad loss in the 3rd battle had caused an uproar in Singapore.
Fear, unease all festered in their hearts as everyone was asking,"What about us? What will happen to Singapore?"
No one could give an answer to this.
The appearance of the guards gave Singapore players a little hope. 3 defeats in 3 battles was a huge sense of failure and the strength of the enemy was solidified in their hearts.
Could just 40 thousand guards defend Lion City? The players were doubtful!
The negative emotions couldn't help but spread in the city.
At this mont, Chen Guang who had escaped back to Lion City once again stepped out and took responsibility. He said resolutely,"Singapore brothers and sisters, we still have hope."
"Guild leader, what should we do?"
A few players couldn't help but crowd around him, their faces filled with fear and their hoped to get answers.
Chen Guang found a high platform and continued his speech,"Fengshan County's failure wasn't because we weren't strong enough or because we won't courageous enough. We have lost because the enemy is too cunning, they used despicable thods to bait us out."
As they listened to this, the players couldn't help but feel ashad. At this point, they realised Chen Guang's efforts as well as the detrints of their rash behaviour.
Even so, Chen Guang didn't bla them and instead blad it on the despicable enemy. Such a rciful leader was really worth them following.
"As Long as we are united and just defend the city, Lion City will never fall." Chen Guang was motivating the crowd,"Brothers and sisters, please follow and allow to lead you to victory."
"Guild leader, please give the order, we will follow you to death!" Soldiers were so touched they teared up."
"Follow to death!"
Be it teens, middle aged n, even old n, won and kids all shouted in unison, pledging their loyalty to the leader. Their eyes were filled with determination and one could see the light of victory.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of Lion City started to heat up.
Their morale blood.
One had to say that Chen Guang was truly a born leader. In the last life, Sione comnted that he was a calm head with exceptional speech abilities and with his crafty ideas, making himself shine.
Singapore in the last life used their geographical position to rise up in the ga. In the global environnt, Chen Guang could be considered to be one of the famous figures.
Unfortunately the tis were different and he had to et Ouyang Shuo so early on, it was destined to be a tragedy.
……
After calming down the normal players, Chen Guang gathered the core mbers to discuss.
At the mont, his expression suddenly beca really solemn,"We can't place the fate of our country all on the hands of the Guards." It showed that he wasn't as confident as he showed just now.
"What should we do?"
"Ask for help from the ASEAN." Chen Guang said.
"..."
Total silence.
"It's not the ti to bother about face. If we lose the country war, we lose everything." Chen Guang was the sa as Ouyang Shuo, a utilitarian, to protect Singapore he would do anything.
"It seems like the only thing we can do!"
Everyone sighed, filled with a tragic emotion, in the end they had walked on this path of no return.
Singapore was an island surrounded by water. The one closest to them was Johor in the north. Between the 2 was the narrow Johor Straits.
To be able to assist them, only Johor could do so.
Even Johor when they receive the request for help, they needed to verify it. After all, a cross country war was still a very unfamiliar phrase.
After verifying, they must discuss how many soldiers and how to sent the soldiers. Along with ti spent on the road, it will take at least 2 days for them to arrive in Lion City.
Chen Guang concluded,"Hence we need to defend for 2 days."
"Defend Lion City to the death!"
Everyone swore in unison, Lion City had no other route.
Johor Straits, dragon head.
The mont Fengshan County fell, Ouyang Shuo received the system notification. He smirked. As expected, Zheng He didn't let him down and did far better than he had expected.
In just one battle, Ouyang Shuo had obtained close to 100 thousand rit points. How crazy was that? It was through the rit points that Ouyang Shuo was able to deduce what happened there.
The combat players of Singapore had pretty much all fallen.
To prevent war slayers from being born from country wars, Gaia made the rule that only combat occupation players have rit points.
The work occupation players wouldn't be tabulated into the rit points.
This rule was similarly targeting the old and weak.
Hence, lords couldn't earn large amounts of rit points through slaughtering normal civilians.
Even combat occupation players, only the 1st kill was tabulated. The newbies after reviving, even if they were killed again wouldn't be calculated again.
Such a setting was to prevent players from blocking up the reincarnation hall and slaughtering them over and over. Gaia promoted war but not aningless killing, as that was totally immoral.
……
In the reading room, Ouyang Shuo was pumped up and started to give out military orders.
As the east troops had obtained a huge victory, the entire plan needed to change.
Based on the plan, Ouyang Shuo originally needed to sweep the nearby islands. Under such circumstances, sweeping the surrounding islands would have no aning.
If his estimations were correct, the players on the nearby islands had gathered in Lion City.
Hence the next morning, Ouyang Shuo would personally lead his troops to Lion City. Of course, the middle troops would still be led by Yanhuo Yaonie and Ouyang Shuo wasn't prepared to butt in.
Next morning, the mid troops would assault Lion City, first to clear out the surrounding Lion City Region. The east troops will rest for a night before rushing to Xinzhou bay to et up with the mid troops.
The final battle would happen tomorrow!
4th month 22nd day, the 2nd day of the country war.
The sky just turned bright, Yanhuo Yaonie's middle troops had already reached Xinzhou Bay.
The flas of war were ignited once more!
As compared to the east troops, the mid troops Mission was much more arduous. This was because they needed to Attack Lion City and had only 2 days to do so. To rely on just 20 thousand navy soldiers to take down an imperial city? Just thinking about it would be hard for one to believe.
Who knows what miracle move did Yanhuo Yaonie prepare?
As compared to Fengshan County, apart from Lion City being more majestic, the city walls were much bigger. It also had one specialty which was the water paths in the city were linked to Xinzhou Bay.
The imperial city had a total of 3 river passages which was linked to Xinzhou Bay. As the ga had expanded 10 tis, each path was over 50 ters Long. The widest one always even 200 ters wide.
In the last life, who knows how many rchant ships directly entered Lion City through the river passage to help increase the prosperity of Lion City.
These river passages were the chances that Yanhuo Yaonie had grasped.
Similar to the Fengshan County battle, the key to winning was how to use their firearms to their most efficient. Especially the use of cannons. If they were just used to blow open the city gates, it would be a waste of a treasure.
Zheng He chose to build a Cannon formation outside of the city. The mid troops let by Yanhuo Yaonie was unable to replicate it.
No matter how rash they were, the a Singaporean players wouldn't fall at the sa spot 4 tis. Furthermore this ti the main defending force was the imperial palace Guards. Their duty was to protect the safety of the imperial city and wouldn't go out to fight.
The mont the middle troops reached Xinzhou Bay, it caused stunned Chen Guang and the others.
anyone would know that no matter how strong the squadron at Fengshan County was, they couldn't reach here in just 1 night. The only explanation was that these were the hidden troops of the enemy.
Thinking about this, Chen Guang's heart beca heavy.
