Chapter 894- Kill wife and feed her to the wolves (1/2)
”General, after the few successive battles the Royal Army went from hundred thousand troops to around 67,700.”
Long Xing held his iron spear and followed me to the front as he continued, ”Dragon Crystal Cannons, Flame Dragon Cannons' ammo have been basically used up. We need large amounts of time to craft the ammo. The new troops from the barbarian race also need time to train before they can head to war. If we fight at such a time we will suffer even heavier losses.”
I turned around and looked towards him and said, ”Owen wants to lead personally, that isn't something I can control do you understand?”
Long Xing was stunned, ”Understood...”
”Then quickly prepare the troops to set off. Bring enough grain and don't let the troops fight a battle hungry again.”
”Yes, I will immediately order the troops. If they don't deliver the grain in time I will tell them to personally head over to you to ask for punishment.”
”Heh, great!”
……
Half a day in the game passed really quickly. When Tian Ling City's NPC troops headed towards Fan Shu City, news spread out from Ba Huang City too. The Japanese and Koreans split their players into two groups. Frost Forest led the Japanese players to sweep the player camps at the south of War God River. LEE and the Japanese couldn't see eye to eye so he led the Korean's mainforce to head to Ba Huang City to try to take down the city. However Angela led the troops there and Dragon City would be able to assist at any moment. Thus there was no need for me to worry at all.
The moment the sky just lit up, the war drums sounded out. A dense Tian Ling City army crossed the Bridge of Fate. One could even still see a dense pile of player corpses at the west shore. A lot of players didn't come online after dying and waited for the country war to end before they came online to level up. After all not all players loved to battle. Most of them were here just for the money and the girls or because they loved the scenery in game, bringing their girlfriends to tour all over. They suddenly bumped into the millions of troops of the country war and were totally frightened.
Two consecutive battles caused the NPC army of Tian Ling City to greatly reduce. We went from the initial ten million to less than five hundred thousand. Among which Rongdi Army was still left with a hundred and fifty thousand, Royal Army with seventy. As for Fire Dragon Army, Fire Axe Army they were left with no more than thirty thousand. Xia Yu Army was more intact
We knew nothing about the players and troops from Swirling Abyss City. They were too far away from us and we didn't even have any scouts and spies within. Swirling Abyss City's Russian Players crossed close to fifteen hours worth of time of map to come to Tian Ling City. They were really going all out and we have to receive them viciously.
Wen the sun shot through the cloud layer, the blades of the troops gave off a gentle glow under the sunlight. I rode the God Dragon Horse and headed slowly at the center of the Royal Army. Louis, Les were defending beside Owen. I found it amusing, we weren't civil servants so why should be guard beside him at every moment?
Similar to me, Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Drunken Spear etc all brought their NPC troops to walk along with the guild players. Travelling along with Royal Army was Autumn Harvest Army. There was around five thousand of them. I rode my horse over, looking at them and laughing, ”As expected they are strong!”
After I said that, an old soldier who was sleeping on the war horse fell off. He suddenly jumped back up, ”Has the battle began?”
Another soldier immediately went to help him up,
Halberd stabbing into the ground but with a cracking sound, the handle was actually so old that it broke. Their war horses panted, they were as thin as sticks. Even the Autumn Harvest Army flag was all over the place. Only the thousand men spearmen formation was slightly more orderly. One could tell that Drunken Spear personally trained them up.
Looking at me, Drunken Spear grinned, ”Do you have to diss me like that...”
As he said that, he looked towards the Royal Army cavalry, his eyes turned red, ”F*** Your Royal Army is the one that is strong, how is it even comparable to the Autumn Harvest Army. Look at this bunch, they look so restless, how can they fight at all. I don't know how long I will remain as this General. That dog emperor didn't even give us time to rest and train and sent us to Fan Shu City. F*** what is the use of this bunch of useless troops?”
I burst out into laughter, ”Be careful that the walls have ears. You actually dare to scold him, be careful I snitch, at that time you would be in deep trouble...”
Drunken Spear rubbed his forehead and smiled, ”Li Xiao Yao you dog, even if you are Commander in Chief I am not afraid of you. When we return let's fight to the death!”
”Forget it!”
I clapped and laughed, ”You should train up your Autumn Harvest Army army first before fighting with me. Truthfully once we get there and we clash with them, you should hide behind my Royal Army and charge in with my heavy shield unit. Then you will reduce losses. You only have five thousand weak and old troops, you must cherish them more. They are seeds, as long as you keep a portion of them, then do some army quests, you would be able to expand to fifty thousand.”
Gratitude appeared in his eyes as he smiled, ”If I let Autumn Harvest Army hide behind Royal Army won't Fang Ge Que and Q-Sword laugh at me?”
