Chapter 389
389 Chapter 389 another war
On the forums.
Most of the posts were related to the feudal vassals.
Any player who took down a city and became a Duke would have related posts and videos on the forum, attracting the attention of other players and causing intense discussions.
After all-
To be able to become a Lord of a region.
Even a small Duke who owned a city would have to spend a lot of manpower and resources.
It was extremely difficult.
It wasn’t something that a few dozen or a few hundred players could do.
Now, any player who was qualified to become a Duke was basically a person with power and influence in real life.
There were only a few individuals.
Only by developing well in the game world would one be able to become a Lord without relying on real power.
but no matter what.
As long as a player could become a Duke, they would be the first in line.
Moreover, it was one of the top ones.
A single world announcement was enough for these people to become famous.
However-
In recent times, many videos of NPC armies attacking the city had appeared on the player forums, suppressing many videos of players attacking the city.
This was especially so for the densely packed crowd.
It made everyone even more fearful.
In the comments section.
[ 1st comment: tsk, tsk. So many NPCs have surrounded the city. Just a mouthful of saliva from each person can flood the entire city. Marquis northcloud is really ruthless! ]
[ 2nd comment: I am willing to call North cloud Manor the strongest! ]
[ 3rd comment: a city as small as a fart is actually being attacked by an Army of a million soldiers? are there really that many NPCs in North cloud Manor? ]
[ 4th floor: upstairs, I heard that North cloud Manor has mobilized an Army of ten million this time … ]
[ 5th comment: awesome (it’s just two simple words, but they represent the shock in my heart) ]
..
An Army of a million just to attack a mortal city.
Marquis North cloud’s actions this time had shocked everyone.
Some players even knew.
The North cloud Manor had not only sent out a million-strong Army. In fact, they had sent out tens of millions of soldiers. All the players who had taken down cities in the North cloud Manor could not even last two hours in front of the Army before their cities were destroyed.
As for whether the losses would be great or not, that was even more obvious.
When his subordinates killed the enemy, they would provide exp to the players who were the city Lords. That was on the premise that they could continue to fight.
A situation like this.
From the beginning to the end, it was a one-sided crushing, and the experience points that could be harvested were not much at all.
The only gain.
They were probably pillaging valuables from the city.
However-
The players who could take down the city would not simply be after money, but rather, they had the intention to develop the city.
Only when there was no hope of holding on would they make such a desperate move.
However …
This time, all the cities were destroyed too quickly. In less than two hours, how many things could they have plundered?
It could be said that …
This time, all the player Dukes in North cloud Prefecture had suffered a huge loss.
Before this.
When players attacked a city, they would also attract an Army, but it would not be too serious. At most, the Army would be twice as strong as the defending Army.
In this way, as long as they paid a small price, it was not impossible to hold on.
This was also why.
The reason why some players were so passionate about attacking cities was that as long as they had money, defending a city would not be a big problem.
However, the situation in the North cloud Manor …
It had almost never happened before.
However, after this incident, the difficulty level of the North cloud Manor had risen to an epic level in the eyes of the players.
After all-
If they had to send an Army of a million to attack a mortal city, how much manpower and resources would they have to spend to defend against it?
After such a huge battle.
Apart from the top player forces, half of the other forces would be destroyed. Even if they plundered the city’s wealth, they wouldn’t be able to recover their HP.
Therefore, in this way …
Some of the players who were originally planning to attack from the North cloud Manor had given up on the idea.
He had no choice.
Marquis northcloud was too unyielding.
He was tough against demons.
He was also tough to players.
He would kill Deva great demons when he said he would kill them, and he would destroy player cities when he said he would destroy them.
During sieges, if players could hold on for a few more minutes, it would not cause others to despair.
However, when they saw the unstoppable siege in the video, everyone gave up their final struggle.
No fight!
At least, the players at this stage couldn’t fight.
In any case, the North cloud Manor was not the only one out of the thirteen constabularies of the great Zhao. There was no need for them to make things difficult for one of the constabularies.
The other prefectures were vast.
It could still satisfy the needs of the players.
However …
This time, it was a warning to the other players.
And that was …
In a Prefecture without any rebellion, once there was any movement, it might lead to the full suppression of the Imperial court.
On the other hand, it was those chaotic manors.
On the contrary, it was easier to fish in troubled waters.
Both sides couldn’t care about each other, so they naturally didn’t have any extra power to deal with them.
—
Within thousand mountains Prefecture.
“Lord Marquis, most of the great Zhao’s military forces are concentrated in Nanshan Prefecture and Luoyue Prefecture. The defenses in Qianshan Prefecture are definitely empty. I suggest that we move our troops to other cities.
It’s much easier to recover lost territory now.”
Bu Tianhua suggested as he cupped his hands.
Hearing this, one of the generals also stood up and cupped his fists, “”Military counselor bu’s words are reasonable. After several months of recuperation, our Army has already recovered a lot from the losses in the front.
If we were to send out our troops now, we would be able to recover all of our Lost Lands.”
The others didn’t say anything.
However, from his expression, one could roughly guess what he meant.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing nodded slightly and said, “”That’s good. Our Army has been recuperating for several months. We can take this opportunity to recover the city first. If we take the city this time, the great Zhao soldiers will surrender and can’t be easily killed.
The current thousand mountains Prefecture can’t afford too many losses.”
There was a series of battles ahead.
Many of his men had already died.
No matter how large the population of thousand mountains Prefecture was, it couldn’t withstand such a turmoil.
To make them surrender.
The main purpose was to fill the gap in the Army’s strength.
Moreover, these were great Zhao soldiers, and with a little training, they could be turned into their own power.
This way, it would save a lot of time.
At this point.
Marquis Qian Shan changed the topic and said in a deep voice, “”During this period of time, the Outlanders have been causing trouble at the border. I heard that many cities have fallen into their hands. How do you think we should deal with this matter?”
the Outlanders are just a bunch of weaklings, and they can’t do much in the end. Right now, our main goal is to defeat the great Zhao. It won’t be too late to deal with these Outlanders later.
Bu Tian Hua replied without hesitation.
In his eyes.
Even though variant humans developed rapidly, their Foundation was still too shallow, they could not achieve much in a short time.
This matter could be put aside for the time being. After the great Zhao’s problem was resolved, he could turn around and wave his hand to deal with all these Outlanders.
The next day.
The Marquis of Qianshan, Gu Changqing, raised his Army and launched an attack on the great Zhao.
Thousand mountains Prefecture, which had been peaceful for several months, fell into chaos again.
Originally, Yan caizhe had retreated.
The garrison in thousand mountain Prefecture focused on defense and did not rashly attack the rebel army.
As for Gu Changqing.
He had been recuperating and did not easily cause any disputes.
In the end, thousand mountain Prefecture was able to enjoy a period of peace.
Of course.
This calmness was only relative.
Almost everyone knew that there would be a day when the rebel army and the Imperial court would go to war again.
The former could not tolerate the existence of the Imperial court.
The Imperial court could not tolerate the existence of the latter.
Between the two sides.
They were already like fire and water, and there was no possibility of easing it.
However, from the perspective of others, Yan caizhe had led most of the forces back to the central Prefecture city to reinforce them. The remaining troops were definitely weak and might not have a chance to resist Gu Changqing’s attack.
But what made people’s eyes drop was …
Not only was the Imperial court’s defensive Army not weak, but it was also very powerful.
Although they were not as strong as the rebel army, the difference was not big.
The two sides had only met once, and they had already fallen into a fierce battle.
Kill!
A city was besieged by a large number of rebel soldiers. The guards on the city walls held fast to the city. No matter how the rebel soldiers attacked, they did not show any signs of defeat.
Any rebel soldiers who managed to climb up the city wall could not hold on for long and were killed in an instant.
From the start of the war until now.
Six to eight hours had passed.
The guards on the city wall had already been replaced by two batches, and the attacking Army had also been replaced by quite a number of people. However, not a single person could last more than three breaths when they climbed up the city wall.
At the same time.
There was a protective shield in the air above the city, preventing cultivators above the airborne realm from flying through the air and directly crossing the city walls to kill their way into the city.
At this moment.
Many cultivators were bombarding the protective array. However, no matter how astonishing their strength was, they could not shake the protective array at all.
In the rebel army camp.
Guo Tong looked at the city’s protective shield in front of him with a grave expression. He turned his head to the side and looked at a middle-aged man. He said solemnly,”Grandmaster ran, please break the city’s defensive array!”
“A small matter!” Grandmaster ran nodded and said with a smile.
Finished speaking.
He took a step and rose into the air, immediately heading towards the city’s protective array.
The grave expression on Guo Tong’s face as he stood on the spot had eased up by a lot.
Ran Gaoyang!
One of Gu Changqing’s two grandmasters of arrays was also the main force that had previously injured Mingjing mountain and blocked the attack of the Imperial court’s Army.
This time, he had followed the Army out to take down the city with the least casualties and the fastest speed.
In his opinion.
As long as ran Gaoyang made a move, the so-called city-protecting array wouldn’t have any effect.
On the other side.
When ran Gaoyang approached the city’s barrier, his originally indifferent expression gradually turned grave.
In his eyes.
The formation in front of him seemed to be made of nature, without a trace of flaw, making him feel like he had no way to attack.
“This formation was definitely not left behind by Mingjing mountain!”
Ran Gaoyang was certain the moment he saw the array.
He knew very well how much Mingjing mountain was worth.
Even though the other party’s attainments in the array Dao were extraordinary, it was absolutely impossible for him to set up such an array.
“Could it be …”
it’s Qin shujian!?
