Chapter 76: Enemy Forces Heading to the Battlefield_l
The changes in Anxi were unknown to the rest of the Tang Dynasty, but so clues were still felt.
First, the harassnt by Tubo on the borders gradually diminished, ultimately disappearing.
For the past two years, Tubo soldiers had ceased to appear, and so slaves began fleeing to the Tang Dynasty, though they too had no idea where Tubo had gone.
Despite the desire to investigate, the Tang Dynasty had no spare soldiers internally and was forced to set the matter aside temporarily.
The soldiers stationed at the frontier began to grow idle, and so farrs even started cultivating the fertile fields beyond the border, which gradually improved the lives of the previously impoverished populace.
Then, rchants appeared.
rchants of the Silk Road had been absent for a long ti, but unexpectedly, a group of them traversed thousands of miles to co here, bringing food and fruits unseen for a long ti, and purchased porcelain and silk as goods for their return journey.
Seeing the long-missed rchants, the Emperor of Tang personally hosted a banquet for them and learned a piece of news that took him by surprise.
In the west, an army had appeared.
They were as disciplined as mountains, swift as the wind, donned armor impervious to swords and spears, and rode precious horses that could cover a thousand miles a day.
They carried the Sun Moon Army Flag, wielding long spears with iron tips; they roared excitedly upon seeing Tubo troops in groups of five, then they charged or raided.
Well-trained and physically robust, they began every battle by shooting a number of enemies with strange firearms, then moved forward to finish them off, never once defeated.
Beyond their cavalry, they had nurous technicians and bureaucrats; after conquering a place, they imdiately established a base and put forth the slogan of restoring the Tang Dynasty, which attracted many supporters in no ti.
With the support of warhorses and another type of strange steel device, teams of five dared to charge at Tubo armies hundreds strong; wherever the cavalry went, they were unstoppable.
Their numbers were vast, and Tubo was forced to retreat step by step because of them, even Tubo’s royal flag was seized by this army.
What was more terrifying was that among them, there was a divine being, all-knowing and omniscient. Every battle, they anticipated the enemy’s moves, and their minds possessed the ability to strategize brilliantly, instilling terror in Tubo at the very ntion of them.
In just a few years, Tubo was beaten to the point of fragntation and could no longer harass the Tang Dynasty.
Upon hearing the rchant’s report, the Emperor of Tang was thrilled by Tubo’s collapse yet anxious about the ergence of a new neighbor.
As the Emperor of Tang was about to inquire further, an urgent ssage from the border arrived.
The Protectorate of Anxi still existed!
They even sent envoys and had expressed their desire to return to Tang.
But this ti, it wasn’t just a few scattered ssengers.
The passage between Anxi and the Tang Dynasty was opened once again, and tens of thousands of cavalry, with mighty strides, marched towards the Tang Dynasty, reigniting Tang’s glory.
Everywhere they went, the locals responded enthusiastically, offering food and wine to welco the King’s forces.
Lost territories were reclaid, alien tribes expelled, and Heaven once again favored the Tang Dynasty, bestowing the throne of the Central Plains back to its rightful place.
Amidst the encirclent of cavalry, under the admiring gazes of soldiers, Tang Mo entered the Tang Dynasty as a general, walking proudly towards Chang’an.
Tang, I’m back.
After accomplishing this feat, a deafening cheer erupted inside Tang Mo’s live broadcast room.
While other players were still fretting over reaching 100 points and seeking ways to improve their score, they had already achieved the remarkable feat of eliminating Tubo, reclaiming territory, and restoring glory through collaborative efforts.
Proudly walking on the land of the Tang Dynasty, their final score reached an astonishing two hundred and seventeen points.
This score was not calculated by multiplicative increases, but rather through an exponential scoring thod, with two hundred and seventeen points denoting an extrely high achievent, signifying that what they had done had surpassed the historical Naless Ones, reaching a new height.
[Tang, that was not easy.]
[No kidding, but it was thrilling. Even though I couldn’t personally join the battlefield and just fard and climbed the tech tree, it was so satisfying!]
[Yeah, the feeling of pumling the opponent with a technological edge is just too cool!]
[Turns out farming is the real way to play “The Naless”, but why doesn’t the ga say so?]
[Classic Fang Cheng, always likes to hide sothing and then secretly wait for us to discover it.]
[Do you think there’s a chance that he hadn’t foreseen this gaplay himself?]
[I think that’s impossible. If he hadn’t anticipated it, would he have included so many lifelike technologies? Would he have added a nearly realistic physics engine and the formula for gunpowder?]
[Right, even the machines can be accurately reconstructed, so I believe Fang Cheng anticipated this. The producer is so sneaky, keeping such a fun way to play hidden.]
[Exactly, too sneaky! To punish him, I’ve decided to buy a copy of “The Naless” and do it myself. I’ll sha him by letting him know I uncovered his secret!]
[Heh heh, this producer, you wouldn’t want your Easter eggs to stay buried, would you?]
[Hold your horses, put together a strategy guide first. You still need to do your howork if you want to play this ga and have a blast.]
Watching the discussion in the stream, Tang Mo also felt very comfortable.
This stream, they had played intermittently over the course of a week.
It took so long because they had to pause from ti to ti, then infer their next best move based on historical records and geography.
Moreover, to avoid external interference, this stream room was not open to the public, but a private space.
As the first player to discover the farming gaplay and verify its viability, Tang Mo was extrely excited.
At this mont, he was The Naless, leading a lone force rising from isolation, and the feeling of accomplishnt was indescribable.
Although the ga was completed, Tang Mo knew it wasn’t the end.
There were still many regrets to address and more details to uncover. There was more land to conquer in the north and the west, and beyond the sea, a rich land awaited their arrival.
The ga still held imnse potential, and treating it rely as a war ga was a true waste.
It was supposed to be a ga with a grander vision, a hypothetical and simulation of that era.
The nearly perfect simulation allowed one to better glimpse the elegance of that age and let players fulfill their fantasies of ti travel.
At this thought, Tang Mo felt his heart start to race.
That’s right, such a great ga shouldn’t be buried!
He began to gather materials, planning to compile his gaming experience from this ti into a guide.
The process was ti-consuming and laborious, but Tang Mo found it sweet.
He was willing to contribute to a ga he loved.
In Fang Cheng Studio, Wang Xiaoying gnawed on her pen, sighing as she looked at the ga data.
As her first assignnt since arriving at Fang Cheng Studio, Wang Xiaoying was very confident in the ga’s quality and full of anticipation for her work results.
But the outco… wasn’t great.]
