"Ten times the difference!"
"This isn't a test at all. They want to destroy our settlement, right?"
A beta tester who had been reincarnated from another settlement and had made a name for himself because of his talent ability said in disbelief.
"No, the difference shouldn't be that big."
Elder Meng, who had asked for the Monocular from Ji Ye and activated his talent skill, looked at Fang La's army that could be seen from the fort for a while and suddenly opened his mouth.
"That's because ninety percent of the enemy's soldiers that have revealed themselves are just 'mortals' …"
His Aura Observation talent could only tell the enemy's strength through the settlement core.
However, it seemed that those soldiers were somehow related to the power of providence that had turned yellow earlier, so Elder Meng could tell their level!
"Well, if that's the case … Then, things will be much easier! "
What Elder Meng said eased some of the players who looked awful.
Water Margin was set in the Song Dynasty. Before those ancient soldiers became Extraordinary, they weren't much of a threat to the Twin Dragon Island.
That was because the Twin Dragon Island wasn't just an ancient settlement.
Nowadays, many of the hot weapons on Earth have been manufactured.
Firearms were much more advantageous than Ordinary cold weapons. It must be noted that on the Eight Banners Army on Earth, the invincible Eight Banners Army fought against the invading foreign coalition forces.
As a result, more than half of the 38,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, while only 12 of the 8,000 foreign coalition forces were killed and dozens were wounded!
Of course, the soldiers on the Land of Inheritance were definitely stronger than they were in history. Even the Ordinary soldiers might be Ordinary Rank-8 or Rank-9.
However, the Twin Dragon Island's firearms were much more powerful than those of the foreign coalition forces.
Even an Ordinary Rank-9 body couldn't block a large-caliber sniper rifle, let alone a cannonball.
"It can't be that simple!"
"Don't forget that even if 90% of them are Ordinary, 10% of them are Extraordinary. Faced with such a huge number of enemies, even 10% of them are Extraordinary! "
Guo Wei, however, remained solemn.
He stared at Fang La's forces that were moving toward the Twin Dragon Island through his high-tech glasses.
That's right. Even though 90% of the soldiers of the three greatest rebels and the Kingdom of Liao were Ordinary, there were still more than a thousand Extraordinary soldiers.
It must be noted that the Twin Dragon Island had enough resources. After defeating the Magma Monsters and obtaining abundant Fire Cores, there were less than two thousand people who were Extraordinary!
The number of Extraordinary enemies was also several times that of the Twin Dragon Island.
"No, in fact, there are more than four thousand … Those generals don't seem to be purely transformed from the power of providence. My Aura Observation talent doesn't work on them!"
Elder Meng put down the Monocular and shook his head.
"In Water Margin, the Kingdom of Liao has 66 generals, Wang Qing of Chu has 85 generals, Fang La has 108 generals, and Tian Hu of Jin has 127 generals.
"If all of these people appear in the advancement test …" Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
He, who was used to strategizing and had the demeanor of an ancient military advisor, had a grave expression for the first time.
"In other words, the enemy might have close to 400 people at the commander level? And they are all battle-type! "
Guo Wei finally couldn't keep calm anymore.
The Twin Dragon Island was probably the most developed human settlement on Earth right now.
But even so, the number of people who had obtained the 'Commander' assessment was only a total of 72, barely the number of Earth Fiends.
Among them, almost half were heroes or players who were logistics or lifestyle. In fact, there were no more than 40 battle-type Commanders!
"Another ten times difference?"
"Also, according to the intelligence just now, there are also many top Extraordinary Rank-8 and Rank-9 existences among them.
"If that's the case, even with our advantages in technology and intelligence, we won't be able to resist the enemy's attack.
"This is more difficult than a nightmare. It's straight to hell!"
An Quan looked anxious.
"Sigh, maybe we shouldn't be so hasty!"
A player who was reincarnated from another settlement said in despair. Back then, he insisted on playing it safe and waited for a month before starting the test.
"Now that we've made the decision, we won't regret it."
Ji Ye, however, sounded very determined.
The advancement test this time was probably interfered with by the power of providence of the other competing settlements, just like the notification before, which greatly increased the difficulty.
If the Twin Dragon Island really chose to start the test a month later …
First of all, their strength would definitely increase significantly, and it was even possible for them to reach the Transcendent level.
Secondly, some of the competing settlements had been eliminated, and the number of enemies they would face might be reduced.
However, given the current situation, there was no point in regretting it anymore.
They could only fight and try to advance!
"It's getting late!
"Judging from the speed at which they're approaching us, they won't be within our attack range until tomorrow morning.
"Our top priority now is to learn more about the enemy's strength and if they have any special methods so that we can come up with a strategy before they get close!"
Li Qing said.
The Monocular could see some of the enemy's attributes from a distance, but it consumed Transcendent power and couldn't be used on a large scale.
Besides, the enemy had already noticed it and had countermeasures.
In that case, he would need to use other methods to obtain more information.
"Elder Zhou, Elder Meng. In your opinion, which one of the four enemies poses the greatest threat to us? "
Ji Ye pointed at the Mirage Cloud Mirror in front of him, where the three greatest rebels and the Kingdom of Liao were approaching the Twin Dragon Island and the four islands, and he asked inquisitively.
"Well, if we make a judgment based on the original work alone, it should be 'Fang La'.
Elder Meng said.
After the Liangshan people were recruited by the court, they were first asked to deal with the invasion of the Kingdom of Liao. Then, they were deployed to conquer the other three greatest rebels.
In the end, after defeating Fang La, only about thirty of the 108 people were left!
Furthermore, if Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, who were poisoned by Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Tong Guan, who corresponded to the four greatest rebels in the Song Dynasty, and Hua Rong and Wu Yong, who hung themselves, were taken into account, there were even fewer survivors!
Among them, most of the heroes of Liangshan died in the battle against Fang La!
It was safe to say that he was probably the strongest of the four enemies!
"Well, speaking of Fang La, he has 108 generals under his command, which happens to correspond to the people of Liangshan. It was probably done on purpose.
"Also, just like Song Jiang, Fang La's force is a real 'rebel army' in history. His strength might be boosted on the Land of Inheritance!"
Elder Zhou said.
Most of the Heavenly Spirits in Water Margin were not fictitious.
Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and the others had been recorded and were based on them. That was probably why they were so strong.
Song Jiang's "Heavenly Leading Star" ability was even more "dangerous". Fang La probably wouldn't be much inferior to him.
"It must be about religion!"
On the other hand, Elder Meng made a further judgment.
Different from Tian Hu and Wang Qing's way of rebellion, Fang La's rebellion relied on the Manichaeism's theory of "Light and Dark" from Persia. He called himself the "Saint Duke" and asked his subordinates to wear scarves to distinguish themselves. Most of the people at the bottom level wore "red scarves"!
Wasn't this scene somewhat familiar?
Yes, it was a replica of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Also, it was worth mentioning that Manichaeism had another name in another book, which was "Ming Cult".
It meant that Fang La, to some extent, had another identity, which was the next leader of the Ming Cult!
"Okay, I'll go meet the 'Saint Master' of the south first."
