The Yuan emperor's attack had a range of almost five kilometers.
However, the invisible arrow wasn't too fast, so there was enough time for the enemy to react. However, because of the long distance and the fact that the arrow couldn't be seen with the naked eye, it was hard to determine the specific target of the attack.
However, Ji Ye instantly knew that the enemy was aiming at him.
On one hand, he was holding the Monocular and observing the Yuan emperor.
On the other hand, True Seer, which had reached the level of "Adept", allowed him to sense the approach of the invisible attack with an oppressive vibe the moment the Yuan emperor's attack was released.
So, he could react.
"Roar!"
Below the city wall of Xiangyang that was dozens of meters tall, the moat that was a hundred meters wide suddenly surged.
A lifelike Jiao Dragon, nearly ten meters long, formed by the river water, suddenly rushed out of the water with a dragon roar and bit at the invisible "arrow".
"Young Master, be careful! It's a sonic attack!"
Then, Nie Xiaoqian's voice echoed in Ji Ye's ears.
It turned out to be a Sound Arrow. Clearly, the crystal bow must be the Transcendent item that belonged to the Yuan emperor.
It was truly powerful. Even though it had flown almost five kilometers away, it was still very destructive!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Flood Dragon, which had swallowed the Sound Arrow, exploded from the head, turning into a tremendous amount of water and mist that splashed everywhere. Some of the soldiers on the city wall couldn't even stand steadily after they were hit!
Then, it was the throat, the neck …
However, the Sound Arrow came to an abrupt halt when it was about to reach the Flood Dragon's abdomen.
It was because the back half of the Flood Dragon's body suddenly turned from transparent water into solid ice.
It was exactly the Extraordinary Rank-7 Ice Chisel, which could freely transform between water and ice, that Ji Ye obtained after he killed the leader of the Yuan Water Demons.
This instantaneous transformation caused the long-range attack to be "frozen" in midair, and a "spiral" track appeared within it!
Kacha, Kacha!
However, even though it was frozen, the powerful energy contained in the "Sound Arrow" did not dissipate.
Instead, it turned into an earsplitting sound that echoed across half of the city wall of Xiangyang.
"Buzz!"
Because he was the first to be hit, Ji Ye felt that his ears were buzzing even though he was protected by the Dragon Aura.
"Ah, my ears!"
Some of the weaker Song soldiers, who didn't have any internal energy, covered their ears in pain, blood seeping out of their fingers.
"An arrow shot from two kilometers away is still so powerful?"
"The Yuan emperor is actually so strong! Is it Extraordinary Rank-8? "
Mister Bug, who had temporarily lost his sense of hearing, couldn't help but speak very loudly.
"Not Extraordinary Rank-8! The attack mainly relied on the Transcendent power of the 'bow'! "
Ji Ye shook his head.
Staring at the Yuan emperor from five kilometers away, he was not at a disadvantage in terms of aura. After all, he was also a "leader" in both aspects!
The Yuan people had founded their country on martial arts, and the emperor was naturally very strong.
Although he was still Extraordinary Rank-7, the Yuan emperor was clearly much stronger than the North King of Yuan.
Most importantly, the Sonic Bow in his hands had long-range attack capabilities. Compared to the North King's Water Stopping Stone, its combat capabilities were undoubtedly much stronger.
Also, he had an Extraordinary Rank-7 mount.
With the two factors combined, his combat ability was as good as that of an Extraordinary Rank-8 expert.
In Xiangyang City, Guo Jing, who had kept part of his Transcendent power, was probably the only one who could fight him head-on.
Of course, if he were standing next to the water and burning his Flood Dragon Blood, Ji Ye felt that he was qualified to fight the emperor too!
"He's not bad. No wonder he killed the North King.
"Listen up, Song people. I'll give you one last day to think about it!
"If you don't surrender by tomorrow, nobody in Xiangyang City will be spared after the city is conquered.
"However, if you can bring the head of the man who killed the North King and the West King, I can spare him and his family. You will also be rewarded with rare treasures and ten thousand slaves!"
The Yuan emperor, who was covered in dark red full-body armor, opened his mouth. His voice was amplified by the Sonic Bow in his hand like a loudspeaker. Everybody in Xiangyang City, including those whose ears had just been hurt, could hear it.
Then, without further ado, he returned to his camp surrounded by a bunch of soldiers.
"Damn it, that son of a b * tch is truly cunning!"
Mister Bug cursed aloud when he heard what the Yuan emperor said.
It was because a lot of people looked at the people of the Twin Dragon Mount fort after he said that.
The players who participated in the battle all knew that the Yuan emperor's reward was meaningless to them. Even if they had any ideas, they wouldn't attack the main force like Ji Ye and Gongsun Sheng.
However, the eyes of the Song people on the Battlefield of Providence flickered.
It was especially so after the Yuan emperor returned to his camp.
The dense crowd of Yuan soldiers instantly dispersed and surrounded Xiangyang City again.
Also, more troops from the Yuan emperor arrived. In the end, the total number of combat-ready Yuan soldiers reached two hundred thousand.
It was needless to say that there were even more logisticians.
As far as Ji Ye knew, the total number of soldiers in Xiangyang City was less than fifty thousand. Even the old, the weak, the women, and the children weren't as many as the Yuan soldiers.
Although they had the advantage of defending the city, the city walls that were dozens of meters high weren't safe at all when the battle participants showed up and used all kinds of Extraordinary and Transcendent methods!
Some people couldn't help but feel uneasy.
However, technically speaking, it wasn't a big problem.
It was because Xiangyang City still had a way out. Thanks to the fact that Ji Ye had slaughtered almost all the Yuan navy, the Yuan people couldn't really surround Xiangyang City!
Therefore, the Yuan emperor's psychological attack was destined to be ineffective!
However, that was only for the Song people on the Battlefield of Providence. For the battle participants, it was impossible for them to leave Xiangyang City.
It was because the only way to win this battle was to defend Xiangyang City!
…
"Elder Meng, what should we do next?"
In a room in Xiangyang City where the Sound Stones were kept, several players of the Twin Dragon Mount fort were discussing the situation of the battle.
Everybody looked at Elder Meng, who was sitting next to Ji Ye and looked like a counselor.
"Let's not rush. We're waiting for someone!"
Elder Meng shook his head.
Da! Da! Da!
Da! Da! Da!
Wu Qiao walked over and opened the door, but there was nobody in sight.
"I'm back!"
A few seconds later, Li Qing's figure appeared on an empty chair.
As the best performer among the second batch of players of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, Li Qing also received a piece of equipment that contained Transcendent power after the last battle.
[Invisibility Cloak]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Refined (Rare)]
[Description: This is a rare treasure made of the shell that a Transcendent golden cicada shed. After you learn its secrets, you will gain true invisibility!]
It was dropped by the player who tried to bypass Ji Ye to kill the Yuan soldiers in the carriage. In terms of invisibility, it was much better than Ji Ye's Mantis Invisibility Cloak.
Even Li Qing couldn't see the outline of the cloak.
Of course, invisibility didn't mean that it couldn't be detected. For example, Ji Ye had detected the movement of the invisible player with the waves of the Sea Stone and his Flood Dragon Bloodline.
Because of that, Li Qing couldn't go to the Yuan emperor's residence to scout for information.
However, he could obtain intelligence from some of the battle participants indirectly.
"The Yuan leadership is quite lively right now.
"After the Yuan emperor arrived, he scolded his younger brother, the East King, for attacking the city recklessly, which resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and the death of two kings. He was whipped and punished in front of everybody!
"I eavesdropped on the conversation of the players who participated in the battle. They said that in their history, the Yuan emperor was classified as a tyrant because of his brutality. He had made a lot of contributions, but he was also temperamental and paranoid. The East King of Yuan, on the other hand, was praised by the later generations as a wise king. "
Li Qing said.
"A wise emperor?"
Ji Ye keenly grasped a critical point.
"Yes. In the history of the Yuan people, the Yuan emperor vented his anger on his subordinates because of the consecutive failures during the siege. As a result, a mutiny was triggered, and the East King, who was supported by the South King and the West King, succeeded in usurping the throne.
"Also, the East King's camp had more famous officials and heroes than the Yuan emperor did.
"Therefore, the Yuan battle participants were more willing to choose the East King than the Yuan emperor, who was apparently stronger."
Li Qing nodded.
"Well … That's really a rebellion …"
Ji Ye had a weird expression on his face when he heard that.
When they were attacked by the Yuan Shadow Assassins, Ji Ye had already felt that the East King was up to no good by raising such a special unit. He didn't know that his guess was right!
Also, in the history of the Yuan people, it was the South King and the West King who supported the East King's ascension.
Obviously, the female North King that he killed earlier was probably on the Yuan emperor's side.
That could be proved by the fact that the Yuan emperor shot an arrow at him the first time he showed up.
It also explained why the leader of the Water Demons didn't rescue Ji Ye when he killed the North King. It was because the guy had probably been persuaded by the East King to betray him.
He had the mission to eliminate the North King when necessary!
"It seems that no matter which human civilization it is, It was easy to understand why the East King had more hero projections than the Yuan emperor did.
As for the fact that the East King of Yuan had more hero projections than the Yuan emperor, it was quite understandable.
Because history was always written by the victors!
After the East King killed his brother and usurped the throne, in order to maintain his justice, even though the Yuan emperor was a conqueror, he was bound to be labeled as cruel and merciless. Naturally, the heroes under his command were also discredited in the historical records.
On the Land of Inheritance, the strength of a hero was mainly influenced by the impression of the people of the civilization they belonged to.
Those heroes who were discredited by the "tyrant of a generation" were definitely not as good as the ministers under the "wise king"!
"That is to say, although the Yuan emperor has a lot of soldiers, he doesn't have as many experts as the East King does. Moreover, there shouldn't be many players who have joined them. "
"Then, we can try to assassinate the Yuan emperor directly!"
Qin Yueyu's eyes glittered.
"Huh? That's really feasible!"
Some of the other players' eyes glittered too.
Over the past few days, because the Yuan people didn't attack.
The battle participants of some settlements also snuck into the Yuan camp for "assassinations" like the Yuan assassins did. Although it was difficult to assassinate the two remaining kings because they were protected by the battle participants all the time, the two kings were not far away from each other.
Although it was difficult to assassinate the two kings because they were protected by the battle participants all the time, two settlements had successfully killed the two young kings.
The Twin Dragon Mount fort, on the other hand, didn't participate in the assassination because it had a great advantage.
However, since the Yuan emperor had just arrived, and the battle participants weren't willing to join him, they weren't as prepared for assassination as the other two targets.
"It's not that easy to assassinate him directly. The Yuan emperor is very strong, and he has a mount of the same level.
"Also, according to Li Qing, the East King may 'inherit' the Yuan emperor after we assassinate him, and it won't be good for us to reorganize the army."
Ji Ye, however, shook his head.
"I have a … bolder idea!"
Then, his eyes shone brightly.
