"Are they really the Three Greatest Bandits?"
After the silver light in his eyes faded, Ji Ye said softly.
In Water Margin, there were the Four Greatest Bandits in the East, West, South, and North. They were Song Jiang from Shandong, Wang Qing from Huaixi, Tian Hu from Hebei, and Fang La from Jiangnan!
Deng Yuanjue, who looked like Lu Zhishen, and Shi Bao, the South Li Marshal who used a Meteor Hammer as a weapon, were both Fang La's subordinates.
The former fought Lu Zhishen in Water Margin and was on par with him.
The latter had relied on a pair of "Wind Cleaver" and "Meteor Hammer" to kill Liang Shan, including "Vanguard" Suo Chao, Deng Fei, Bao Xu, Ma Lin, and Yan Shun, who were ranked 19th on the Big Dipper Planet.
He had also fought Guan Sheng, who was the strongest of the Five Tigers, many times without being defeated. Many people called him the best general of the south!
As for Lord Fiend Qiao Daoqing, who was in the royal palace but noticed the observation of the Monocular and performed a spell to create a scene where a beauty turned into a ghost, he was even more impressive.
As Tian Hu's advisor of Jin, he had once summoned soldiers and generals to capture Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Liu Tang, Li Kui, and other Heavenly Spirits with a Daoist technique.
When he fought against Gongsun Sheng on the Five Dragon Mountain, he even demonstrated the ability to take away the weapons of the generals remotely and fight in midair.
There was also a Daoist technique that could "resurrect" the dragon-shaped statues on the mountain into green, white, yellow, black, and red dragons, just like Ji Ye did with Dragon Painting.
In some versions of Water Margin, he was even Gongsun Sheng's senior uncle, and he was even stronger than Gongsun Sheng.
However, speaking of which, this "Lord of Fiend" Qiao Daoqing was not as good as the "Mr. Golden Sword" Li Zhu that Ji Ye detected in the end.
In the entire 'Water Margin', in terms of martial prowess, apart from Zhou Tong, who was said to be the master of Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, and Wu Song, who was said to be Yue Fei's, Lin Chong's, Shi Wengong's, and Wu Song's master, Lu Junyi, who once single-handedly repelled over a thousand Liao soldiers, was recognized as the strongest.
However, the Jade Qilin, who was known to be unparalleled in the world in staves, could not withstand Mr. Golden Sword's sword technique!
This was also the only time that the Big Dipper Star, who was known as the Water Margin's Lü Bu, was defeated in a duel.
This was because Li Zhu was no ordinary swordsman. He was a cultivator who had learned a sword technique from a "strange person".
In fact, he should've been on the same level as Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing.
It was clear that the 'golden sword' and 'compass' in his hands were both treasures, and their levels were definitely not low. They could detect and counterattack from ten kilometers away.
However, Ji Ye's mental power had reached Extraordinary Rank-8, and he had also practiced the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, which was the most powerful skill in Water Margin. He also had the lightning superpower that could suppress many spells. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about Ji Ye's counterattack.
"Yes. Tian Hu of the north, Wang Qing of Huaixi, and Fang La of the south have all arrived, and their directions are almost the same."
"Then, this last enemy, could it be …"
Ji Ye turned the Monocular to the last direction, only to find that the troops on the east side looked different from those on the other three sides.
They all had yellow beards and blue eyes. They were brawny, and they didn't look like people from the central plains at all.
As for the first general who entered the "Monocular", his appearance was even more peculiar.
He was three meters tall, with a yellow beard and blue eyes. He was wearing an iron helmet, a chain armor, and a belt. He was holding an iron club in one hand and a three-pointed, double-edged saber in the other. He was sitting on a demon horse with four hooves and two wings!
[He Zhongbao]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: General of the Kingdom of Liao, Deputy Commander of the Kingdom of Liao's Wuyan Tribe!]
"Another 'sorcerer'!"
He Zhongbao was quite famous in Water Margin.
It was because he had fought Guan Sheng and Lin Chong, who ranked first and second among the Five Tigers of Liangshan.
Then, he was defeated both times.
However, it wasn't a real defeat, but a fake one.
It was because he had a record of killing four enemies and breaking through the interception of Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Zhu Tong after he was surrounded.
It was safe to say that he was as strong as the Five Tigers!
More importantly, he was not only good at fighting on the battlefield but also at demonic techniques.
He even trapped half of the heroes of Liangshan led by Lu Junyi in the Bluestone Valley with the help of his three brothers!
"But it's Liao. I thought it was Song Jiang!"
"That's right. Although Liao isn't one of the four greatest rebels, it's one of the villains in Water Margin. In comparison, it doesn't make sense if it's the Song Dynasty or Song Jiang's Liangshan."
In Water Margin, apart from the four greatest rebels, there were two other major forces.
There were also two other large forces, the imperial court of the Northern Song and the Liao State.
For most people, even though the court had made many mistakes, it couldn't be considered a villain. It could only be described as a treacherous official who harmed the country.
Because of that, in the advancement test, the eastern force that should have belonged to Song Jiang was replaced by the invading army of Liao!
"Well, it's not a bad thing, is it?"
Ji Ye wasn't too disappointed by the result.
It was because there were a lot of cavalrymen in the Liao army in the east.
Also, every cavalryman was wearing armor. There were even a thousand heavily armored cavalrymen and their horses. Ji Ye could hear the neighing of the horses from ten kilometers away.
This was especially true for the generals with yellow beards and blue eyes, who were wrapped in beast skins. From the looks of it, they were riding mounts that seemed to belong to a special bloodline.
"That's an important 'resource'!"
Ji Ye's eyes moved.
On the Twin Dragon Island, almost half of the cavalrymen were Commanders.
However, they had no horses. Apart from the Black Armor Wolf Riders under Yang Zhi's command, the others could only serve as foot soldiers!
If those horses could become spoils of war, the strength of the Twin Dragon Island would be further improved.
"That is to say, our enemy is the villain in the background of Water Margin?"
Ji Ye landed from the sky and explained the situation.
The other players in the stronghold were immediately surprised and confused.
"That should be the case.
"If a settlement wants to advance to the Transcendent level, it has to defeat the villain in the background so that the positive and negative powers of providence can be combined!"
"That fits the setting of some villains appearing in the Land of Inheritance …"
Elder Zhou, however, nodded as if he had confirmed some of his speculations.
"Tens of thousands of soldiers?"
"Oh my god, this test is unbelievably difficult!"
However, for most of the players, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the number of enemies that Ji Ye mentioned.
It was because the four villains of Water Margin, who had arrived as a "test", had roughly shown up more than twenty thousand people.
Obviously, this was not the full force of their forces.
This was because, as time passed, palaces, tents, and even buildings like cities and palaces began to appear behind these armies that were waiting in formation.
How many people were hiding among them?
Would the number of enemies be thirty thousand, forty thousand, or even more than fifty thousand?
The Twin Dragon Island had used up all the offerings in the past few days. Together with the players who had been reborn, the total number of people had exceeded five thousand.
However, of these five thousand people, only about four thousand were capable of fighting.
The rest of the people were purely logistics personnel.
Because some of the Souls of Civilization were of low levels, about one-tenth of the people summoned were old and young.
As for the enemy, there were at least 40,000 of them, and from the looks of it, almost all of them were strong soldiers who could fight on the battlefield!
