Chapter 774 - Japs (2/2)
Yan Zhao’s eyes lit up, “Sun Tzu once said, ten times the enemy’s size, surround. Five times the enemy’s size, attack. This is a principle that even the Japanese must understand. Of them, there must be quite a few who have read the Art of War. There’s no need for us to worry, they will definitely try and use their advantage in numbers to try and surround us.”
Qing Qian was stunned and looked over at me, “Brother Xiao Yao, then what should we do?”
I smiled, “The sentence after that, is ‘If the enemy is twice as great, divide and conquer. If the enemy is on par, fight. If you are outnumbered, escape. If you are weaker, avoid.’ Based on our current numbers, we’re under two million. Logically speaking, we should leave some people behind to take the rear while we retreat into the Victory Passage towards Fan Shu City. But there’s no need. Five million of Tian Ling City’s armies will arrive within two hours. During that time, we’ll use our hundred and fifty thousand men to keep them here. This time, the Japanese must pay for trying to kill our people!”
Yan Zhao Warrior gave me a stunned look. His gaze carried a tint of awe as he said, “I never would have imagined that Xiao Yao had also studied military strategy. Haha, that is truly a rare trait among youngsters.”
I replied, “Those are only theories written on paper. Fighting in games requires the skill and equipment of our brothers in arms~”
Yan Zhao smiled, “If we sacrifice ourselves to become a wedge that will stop the advance of these two million people and drag out this fight, then in two hours, when [Legend], [Hero’s Mound] and [Vanguard] arrive, they’ll basically get to reap all of the benefits. Xiao Yao, this means that our sacrifice will be for Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han. Are you really willing to do that?”
I looked over at the wilderness in the south, and the horizon beyond it. There must be some kind of city over there that belongs to either Flame Cloud City or Port City. I then thought of the words that Lin Tian Nan had said to me. As a young man, living in this chaotic world, why not lead a life of achievement and unify the world? Once I thought of that, I smiled and said, “My goal is for the prosperity of our country, and not the reputation of victory in a single battle.”
Yan Zhao took a deep breath ands aid, “Looks like choosing to ally myself with [Zhan Long] was the right decision. Mu Rong Jun’s words ring true, Li Xiao Yao is a godly general, one who will not bow before another man. Speaking of which, if Jian Feng Han hadn’t taken your Tian Ze Sword in the first place, would you have joined [Vanguard] and fought for Jian Feng Han and Mu Rong Jun?”
I was caught off guard by the question. I thought about if for a moment and smiled, “In the beginning, you, [Wrath of Heroes] and the [General Family] were all after me. Only Qing Qian and Wei Liang were willing to help. If I were truly at the end of the road, maybe I would join them? Who knows…”
Yan Zhao asked, “Only maybe?”
I nodded, “Yes.”
As I said that, I looked over at the girl in front of my battle horse. Qing Qian was smiling at me and said, “From the first time we met, I knew that Brother Xiao Yao was a good man, a reliable one. That’s why I’ve always treated you like a brother. Afterwards, when you fought so fiercely with Unce for me, that’s when I made the final decision to join [Zhan Long]... Cang Tong, please don’t be jealous. I really only think of Brother Xiao Yao as a brother, I’ve never thought otherwise…”
Wan Er smiled knowingly, “Melon, don’t think of me as so petty… Look at Dong Cheng, she’s always joking about stealing my boyfriend. And yet, we’re still inseparable. I understand.”
Yan Zhao stroked his horse’s mane and said, “If I was twenty years younger, who knows if there was a pretty girl who would be willing to fight so hard for me. Sigh, now that I’m old, I can’t help but accept my age….”
Li Mu patted his shoulder and said, “Alright already, don’t grumble so much. Even though you’re old now, you’ve still got a very manly look. I believe that there are quite a few beautiful young wives looking to jump in your arms. Besides, you’re rich, what are you envious of? Oh that’s right, Yan Zhao Warrior, do you have any lovers outside of the game?”
Yan Zhao’s face practically turned green, “Can we not talk about this, I’m begging you guys!”
Li Mu laughed, “Understood!”
Right then, the beautiful vice guildmaster of [Prague], Six Ya walked over and said, “Stop teasing our honest guildmaster, if you have the energy, go and organize your formations. They’re almost here. Look, even those bastards who tried to steal the Zhen Yue Blade have appeared…”
……
Just as she had said, right at the front of the Japanese server’s armies was the guildmaster of the number one guild, a level 136 Swordsman ——Frost Forest. He steered his dragon in the sky and coldly looked down at us. He then shouted, “You Chinese, did you think that you were something impressive after killing some second rate guilds? The real war has yet to begin. Just you wait and see the real might of Port City!”
Six Ya raised her sword and walked forward with a smile, “Jap…”
……
Instantly, Frost Forest’s face turned green. He raised his sword and shouted, “Warriors of Port City, Charge! Kill our enemies!”
