Chapter 1057- Few hundred million army
At 9am, only 3 hours was left of the first day of the second country war.
I rested on the inner side of the city walls and my eyelids drooped down. The little tiger rested behind me like a cute dog rubbing its head on my arm.
I touched its head and looked at Yue Qing Qian, "Qing Qian, does the scouts have any news?"
Yue Qing Qian shook her head, "No... We sent 100+ War Hawk Knights to the dessert and Ice and Fire Plains but half of them were shot!"
"Shot?" I was shocked, "Were they players with flying skills like me?"
"No."
She pursed her lips and said, "A war eagle, within Iron Skull City"s map, Blades of War has two player bases. One of them has an eagle nest that recruits hunting eagles. Now they have a thousand of them. They are predatory and attacks the War Hawk Knights. Basically 2-3 of them can crush a War Hawk Knight."
"Sky Rose?" I was silent.
Yue Qing Qian nodded, "Right, it is her... A more terrifying opponent than Clear Black Eyes. She trained so many war eagles to crush our intel system. We can only get news from players but those America players might not have all the intel that we need. Moreover, they might give us fake news."
I stood up and looked at the Moon City players, "How is the battle between Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City?"
"They have stopped, it seemed like they had came to an agreement."
"It should be because Moon City was unable to take down Fan Shu City so they can sense our threat."
"En, that should be it. Brother Xiao Yao, what should we do?"
"I don"t know, send more war hawk knights to scout."
"Okay!"
...
This lasted until the afternoon and the Moon City players still didn"t attack. However, more and more gathered and now they were over 6 million that surrounded three sides of Fan Shu City. The 4th side was towards Tian Ling City so Royal Army and Violent Thunder Army was guarding that. This was an important path and we definitely couldn"t lose it.
There was news from Nine Heavens City that Red Rock City was still being attacked. Players suffered heavy losses. With Fang Ge Que and Q-Sword there, Demon Mountain wasn"t able to gain any benefits. The system reported many times that Fang Ge Que had killed 3 of the 12 Demon Mountain G.o.ds and Q-Sword killed two. Q-Sword also killed 7K"s cavalry LuLu, the 4th in HBN. Q-Sword really was a heartless person.
But, since Nine Heavens City suffered such losses, China Region wasn"t any better. I heard that Lu Chunyang, Sword Tears, Enchanted Painting all died once. Even Prague leader Yan Zhao Warrior was killed by Demon Mountain. Fortunately one could still come online after death in a country war, just that the price would double.
In the direction of Waterfront City, Rumor gave up on attacking and they turned towards Red Rock City. Along with this pressure, Nine Heavens City seemed like they couldn"t hold on anymore. However, I was still worried. Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple was released. As long as they messaged Demon Mountain, both powers would pincer us and Heaven Planning Hall"s army would die at Red Rock City.
Thinking about that, I sent a message to Lin Wan Er, "Wan"er we can"t sit still and not do anything anymore.
”
My girlfriend replied, "En, what would you like me to do?"
"Send Flaming Cloud City"s NPC army to Flaming Cloud City and Waterfront City"s intersection. Tell the Flaming Cloud City players to cause trouble to delay Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple."
"En, I shall do that right away!"
"How many troops do you have?"
"250 thousand NPC to the border. As for players, I should be able to gather 5 million?"
"Okay, that is enough. Good luck! Once Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple sneak attacks Red Rock City, you shall attack Waterfront City."
"En!"
"Once everything is arranged, let"s go offline to eat and sleep."
"Understood, you too."
"Okay."
...
The country war was too intense such that I had no time to spend with my girlfriend. It was just too tiring.
Moon City failed to attack so I went offline at 2pm. Most of Zhan Long"s main force went offline too. As long as Moon City attacks, ew would all go online. Moreover, Yue Qing Qian told us to bind our phones to the guild system. As long as the Elder ranked players sent a message, the players would receive an alarm. This was similar to morning calls in hotels.
Offline. Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue had stayed up so much that their black eye circles appeared.Looking at how tired my girlfriend was, I was heart pained, "Sleep more after eating."
"You should hug me to sleep." Lin Wan Er pouted.
I laughed, "Dong Cheng is here!"
Dong Cheng Yue glanced at us, "I was there last time but the two of you didn"t care. Forget it, anyways you are old enough and you should do those things."
"We didn"t!" Lin Wan Er"s face turned red.
Dong Cheng Yue scoffed, "Sooner or later!"
She got close and gave a playful smile, "Brother Xiao Yao, Wan"er, this is your first time right? Should I teach you something?"
I smiled at her, "Eh, you look experienced."
"What are you saying, it is my first time too."
"Then how will you teach?"
"I read many styles..."
I nearly pointed my middle finger at her, "What a paper general, you are like Zhao Kuo, all talk and sending 400 thousand troops to their deaths..."
Dong Cheng Yue pouted, "My instructions won"t lead to that?"
Lin Wan Er laughed, "You will cause a few 100 million to get killed?"
Dong Cheng Yue and my face flushed red. I instantly felt that everyone was not pure
I said, "Let"s not talk about this, after all we are all so pure. We are all famous in game so we need to maintain our image."
Dong Cheng Yue pointed, "Then move your hands away from her leg!"
"Dong Cheng, why isn"t Tang Qi eating, didn"t you send a message to him? If he doesn"t come then he can only eat cold rice."
"Scoff, you only know how to change the topic! That idiot said he will come offline soon. The Red Rock City is really intense!"
"Okay..."
...
In the kitchen, the two chefs were really busy. We didn"t have high demands for food. During the country war, food just had to be light and nutritous enough to maintain our stamina. The taste was secondary.
A while later, Tang Qi went offline and he looked so tired that he was about to die.
I looked at him and mocked, "24 hours and you can"t take it? To think you are Energy Control Realm peak..."
Tang Qi glanced at me, "Scoff, you don"t look good too, to think you are Blazing Sun!"
I laughed, "Tang Qi, honestly, after entering the game and fighting intense battles, do you think that your cultivation is progressing quickly?"
Tang Qi nodded, "This game"s effect on brain waves and cultivation is different from other games. The intense training allows me to gather energy quickly."
"Right, what is the situation in Red Rock City?"
"This..." He touched his nose, "Can we not talk about this?"
"Not smooth?"
"That"s not it." He denied, "Just that it wasn"t ending quickly..."
"Exact details?"
He drank a mouth of water, "At the start, we were suppressing them and only a few of the 12 G.o.d generals were left. Demon Mountain suffered heavy losses. What we didn"t expect was that apart from Demon Mountain, they had so many experts. So many servers were in that city so many of them appeared one after another. It felt like we were entering quicksand."
I asked, "Did Purple Wind Flute release the 200 thousand ancient demon soldiers?"
"Not yet..."
Tang Qi rubbed his forehead, "That is what I worry most about. They can compare to your Royal Army troops and if they are released, our 10 million people will probably get wiped."
I smiled, "The true threat are the tens of millions from India. Don"t miss out on them."
"En, I know, right..." He wanted to speak but stopped.
"What happened?"
Tang Qi touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, w.a.n.g Zecheng, Rumor etc said that you are holding Tian Ling City"s NPC troops and didn"t give any to us such that we don"t have any firepower support. This was the reason why we can"t take it down."
I sighed, "Okay, once I get online, I will give an order for Major ranked players to use their own troops. Anyways, even if you lose them, it is your own loss."
"Okay, I will inform them."
"I hope that you guys can take down Red Rock City quickly and not drag for long. Fan Shu City is facing three main cities at once."
"I know. I will tell Q-Sword and Fang Ge Que."
"En."
