343 The Dust Settles (1/2)
After the Battle of Lianzhou ended, the aftermath continued.
Not mentioning the Shanhai Alliance members, who struck out in all directions and quickly expanded their territories, the players cared about the star—Shanhai City.
The two lords who had their territories destroyed secretly sold the information to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng combined the information with other intel and wrote a long analysis online.
The moment he posted it up, it immediately caused an uproar.
Only then did the players know that the Battle of Lianzhou was actually turned around. The Yanhuang Alliance not only failed to gain the upper hand, but were instead in dire straights. They did not gain anything and also lost things in the process.
The moment this news was out, naturally, people were stunned.
All of a sudden, everyone everywhere was face palming.
”Shanhai City turns it around!”
”Yanhuang Alliance is badly hurt and is no longer able to compete with the Shanhai Alliance!”
”Retreating to advance, Shanhai City planned it out well!”
”Bait! It was a bait!”
……
”Asura Baiqi is really invincible; the alliance army is no more!”
”Chun Shenjun dies for the second time against the Shanhai City army!”
”Sha Pojun died three times!”
”The biggest joke of the China region, Yanhuang Alliance returning to the peak? Haha~”
Apart from the mocking, there were a few people supporting Ouyang Shuo.
”Qiyue Wuyi rules over Lianzhou!”
”He didn't even need to personally act and defeated the Yanhuang Alliance. What a god!”
”Big powers have collapsed; commoner players rise!”
”Shanhai City shocks the world once more!”
……
On the forums, it was another bickering session. Those who were mourning for Shanhai City, who supported Yanhuang Alliance, were now embarrassed. They didn't dare to hang around on the forums.
The normal players went to enjoy the atmosphere, while those who really cared felt fear in their hearts.
Be it Jack from the American Region or Ruan Tianque from the Annan Region, they were all looking very serious.
The nearby Dongying Region and Gaoli Region were even more silent.
Amongst the noise, what players craved for were the details of the battle.
Unfortunately, apart from the Shanhai City Commander unit, no one would know the specifics of the entire war.
Nobody knew until the Army Military Academy was set up and War Saint Sun Wu invited Baiqi to teach about the Battle of Lianzhou and make it a case study.
Baiqi even took time off to purposely teach students for a semester.
His first lecture would be about the Battle of Lianzhou.
The Battle of Lianzhou also became another brilliant example of Baiqi combining many tactics like defending, surrounding, distance war, and head on fighting, all into one.
The only difference was that this war was more complicated with teleporting and communications needed to be taken into account.
Baiqi was undoubtedly learning and using his newly acquired knowledge as he progressed.
When he faced the allied army teleportation, he also used his own teleportation to the extreme. This was the first time the 2nd division teleported, and it was a master stroke that single handedly won them the war.
Baiqi used such a method to announce his existence.
Shanhai City had once again stunned the world.
Just as the forums mocked, after this battle, the Yanhuang Alliance needed to keep silent for a while.
They needed to slowly heal up and power up in the darkness.
As for them really sinking into the abyss, Ouyang Shuo wasn't sure that would happen.
The various powers had deep pockets, and they showed that in the Battle of Lianzhou.
Especially at the last stage when Di Chen managed to escape really terrified Ouyang Shuo. To be able to convince a lord to ally with you under such conditions….
Furthermore, the ones to really make use of all their resources in this battle were Chun Shenjun and Sha Pojun. The other allies only lost some teleportation costs and some elite soldiers.
To the territory, these could be accumulated and slowly recovered over time.
From this battle, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to underestimate these old powers.
In the last life, he was an adventure mode player and didn't even have the ability to fight with the Six Tyrants of Handan, so his knowledge of them was limited.
Was the strength displayed by Yanhuang just the tip of the iceberg?
