"Ah, I'm so envious of you, Brother Xiang Ji.
"Every time, I can personally go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I can fight back and forth with the others, and I'm evenly matched!"
"But I'm different. I don't have a chance to fight in person at all. That's because my subordinates always finish the job before I can do anything. Those people really don't know the rules of the workplace. How can they do everything without giving their leader a chance to show off? "
In the Hongmen settlement, looking at Xiang Yu who still had the upper hand despite the siege of the four Fiery Mountain Giant Kings, he remarked with mixed feelings.
"Master Pei, don't pretend to be 'cool' here! The enemy is coming! "
Chu Yin, who had a classic vibe, cursed for the first time since she entered the Land of Inheritance.
It was because even though Xiang Yu had stopped the Fire Lord and the Mountain Giant, the enemy was much more than just the two types of aliens.
Since more than a hundred aliens had arrived on the continent of Dragon City, each settlement had to deal with at least four or five aliens on average.
Apart from the two aliens that Xiangyu had blocked, there were two other aliens that were charging at Hong Men from other directions.
One of them was tall and had a horn on its head that looked like a huge black drill. It could transform into a beast or a humanoid. The other was the Snake Monkey, which Dragon City had encountered a long time ago during the One Hundred Vying Barges stage. Its technology was roughly the same as the creatures from the nineteenth century on Earth.
However, the Snake Monkeys of the Transcendent City level were obviously more technologically advanced. Every Snake Monkey was equipped with a simulated exoskeleton that had Transcendent technology and could transform into a lot of bionic forms.
The Burrowing Spider, the Diving Octopus, and the Flying Centipede …
The simulated exoskeletons were even surrounded by an "AT Field". The long-range cannonballs that Dragon City shot out would be frozen when they were within a certain range.
After a brief pause, the cannonballs would return at an even higher speed. Quite a few defense facilities were destroyed by the bounced cannonballs!
"Tsk, tsk. It's not that our army isn't strong enough, but the enemy has an Apostle!"
In the face of the two menacing alien races, Liu Bang once again played a joke on them.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. The sea of Wei returns to its homeland. The brave warriors guard the four corners of the world!"
Then, the expression on his face turned solemn, and he started to sing the Song of Gale in a serious manner.
Her voice was not very pleasant to the ears. If she was on a talent show on Earth, she would definitely be the first to be eliminated by the mentor.
However, the "special effects" that accompanied the singing were very shocking.
The entire settlement was surrounded by surging winds and clouds. The invisible wind and clouds gathered into figures one after another. Some were generals, some were strategists, and some were politicians … Every one of them was in the Transcendent level!
Liu Bang's talent ability was "Shake People".
The name was obviously a joke.
In fact, Liu Bang's talent ability was called "Heroes of the Han Dynasty". He could summon the projections of all the heroes of the Han Dynasty and have them participate in the battle. He could even use his own talent ability!
Without a doubt, this Talent Skill was comparable to a Legacy Talent Skill in the hands of a player.
Ji Ye didn't know whether this skill was unique to Liu Bang or all the founding emperors had it.
Although Dragon City had summoned a lot of famous officials and generals in history, Liu Bang was the only one who was an emperor.
But so far, Liu Bang was the only one who was an emperor. After all, Xiang Yu and Cao Cao were not the real emperors.
Liu Bang agreed to be summoned by Dragon City.
Apart from the fact that he was only a bottom-level person when he felt the ritual, it was also because there were a lot of Han Dynasty people in Dragon City.
Although Dragon City started with Water Margin as the background, most of the Water Margin heroes stopped at the Extraordinary level.
Naturally, the Transcendent heroes were mainly set in the second Han Dynasty!
According to Su Nongying's statistics, about a quarter of the population of Dragon City belonged to the Han Dynasty. In the main settlement, the proportion was even higher.
As the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, even though Liu Bang was no longer an emperor here, other people still had to show him some respect. Not to mention that he had the talent of 'founding emperor'. However, his role on the battlefield was actually no less than that of Xiang Yu.
"The more, the better!"
"Swallow Runs the Stone!"
"Sealing the Wolf Storehouse!"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
The projections of the heroes of the Han Dynasty performed their talent abilities one after another.
With all kinds of enhancements, the "Common" defenders were instantly upgraded to the "Elite" level. They set up battle formations and prepared defensive weapons.
Although they couldn't gain the upper hand, they could resist the attacks of the two races for the time being.
"Everybody, let's do our best!"
"I've made a bet with the people from the east. Whoever loses will have to give the reward of this round to the other party. So, if we lose, we'll get nothing, but if we win, we'll get double! "
"Also, I've talked to Chief Qin from the settlement of Womanland. If you win, those who perform well in the battle will get to visit Womanland.
"Next time, you can visit Womanland and socialize with the girls of the Liangyu Camp."
After summoning a large number of people to fight on his behalf, Liu Bang continued his business of shooting his mouth off.
In fact, his talent ability was somewhat similar to Ji Ye's Emperor's Dragon Contract. As long as his subordinates fought well, part of the damage would be transferred to him.
Therefore, he tried his best to encourage them.
"Roar! Roar!"
Hearing that, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty who were fighting on the battlefield roared. Their morale soared as if they were on steroids.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!
"We outnumber you. We'll definitely win!"
A tall and burly general with bulging muscles on his cheeks roared loudly, his voice as loud as thunder.
"The Tyrant once invited us and Your Majesty to eat meat at this place, but it didn't go well!
"Now, he's the host and the guest. He's invited these aliens to a feast.
"As for the ingredients …"
Then, a pair of large copper eyes looked at the Centaurs that were charging towards the Stronghold, and a cruel smile appeared on its face. It held a Crimson Dragon Shield that was taller than a person's height and slammed it into the ground.
"You're the ones who delivered yourselves to me!"
Boom. The ground collapsed, and a large amount of hot magma spewed out. The magma condensed into a gigantic red dragon and swallowed the Transcendent centaurs.
In only a few seconds, the aroma of roasted meat spread out.
After that, the burly general grabbed the "leg" of the centaur closest to him and chewed it in his mouth.
While eating, he waved his shield and continued fighting.
"Good. Medium Rare Horse Meat. That's the kind of meat you want to eat. It has a slight bloody taste!"
Fan Kuai, a Transcendent Rank-5 Quasi Commander, was the bravest general under Liu Bang's command. He made great contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty.
"Well, not bad. It tastes great!"
"I was wondering why I had to execute the White Snake Uprising in the future. This tastes so f * cking good."
Liu Bang, on the other hand, picked up a piece of meat of the Snake Monkey that had been burnt to a crisp after it was shattered by the laser cannons of the city defense. His eyes immediately glittered!
"Oh no. The Snake Monkeys have been targeted by the ancestors of the Han people. They're going to go extinct soon."
"Why do I feel that the centaurs are even more dangerous?"
"The situation should be very dangerous, but the people of Dragon City don't seem too nervous. Do they have any trump cards?"
The people of different countries who were watching the battle from Earth had different feelings.
However, while they were saying that they weren't nervous, Liu Bang, who was eating the snake meat, suddenly became nervous.
Boom!
That was because the Overlord of Western Chu had blown up the head of a three-meter-tall giant with one punch. The giant couldn't get back to his feet after that.
"Tsk … That big brother of mine is a little too strong. It seems like we still don't have the upper hand. Big Sister Chu Yin, please play a song for them to buff them."
Liu Bang sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly turned to Chu Yin.
"What do you want me to play, Master Pei? Ambush from Ten Sides?"
Chu Yin slightly frowned.
"Of course we can't play 'Ambush from Ten Sides', even though we made a bet with the people from River East. Although we made a bet with the people of the River East, the alien races are our real enemy. We can't do anything like that. "
Liu Bang shook his head.
"That's good."
Chu Yin was greatly relieved to hear that.
As a veteran player, she was essentially a supervisor. If Liu Bang were to provoke Xiang Yu on purpose under such circumstances, it would be a disregard for the bigger picture.
Fortunately, although the ancestor of the Han Dynasty looked more like a hooligan than Sun Wun, he wasn't careless when it came to important matters.
"Well, let's play Farewell My Concubine!"
Chu Yin had the urge to ruin her elegant image again.
"Got it. Don't say 'beep' when you talk about a concubine …"
Seeing that there was a hint of "killing intent" in Chu Yin's eyes, Liu Bang hurriedly put away his joking expression and turned around to look at the two aliens who had already reached the first line of defense.
"I'm just kidding. Sister, can you play the Music of the Han Dynasty Breaking the Enemy's Front?"
Then, his eyes and tone became sharp.
Clang, clang, clang, clang …
The passionate pipa music echoed.
It was just a musical instrument, but it sounded like a golden drum being played by countless musical instruments on the battlefield.
Although the commotion of the battle was earth-shattering, the sound of the pipa entered everyone's ears clearly, as though a peerless emperor was commanding his elite soldiers to confront the enemy. Along with the sound of the pipa, the loose and sluggish 'battle formation' of the defenders began to tighten up.
They were able to fight the Transcendent alien races head-on without being at a disadvantage.
There was no music named "Music of the Han Dynasty Breaking the Enemy's Front" in history.
However, Chu Yin had already reached the level of a real ancient master in music, and she could create new music based on the situation on the battlefield.
The music that could change according to the situation on the battlefield was much more powerful than regular music!
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and the armies of Chu and Han.
In a situation where both sides were holding their breaths and gambling, they fought with no regard for their own safety, not fearing death.
As a result, the four alien races were suppressed by human beings even though they were theoretically stronger.
…
"Changqing's' War of Chu and Han 'is truly marvelous. It seems that we don't have to worry about the defense of the Hongmen settlement anymore."
In Dreamland Dragon City, in a room that occupied more than ten thousand square meters under the protection of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon as the settlement core, several people moved their eyes away from the battlefield of the Hongmen, which had been stabilized.
The person who was called Changqing was a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a long beard on his oval face, which made him look rather handsome.
A pile of bamboo slips was floating next to him. Words were written on the bamboo slips, such as strategies, strategies, tactics, tactics, tactics, tactics …
Upon closer inspection, one could even see that the words on the bamboo slips depicted soldiers waging war against each other on the bamboo slips. They were even using fire attacks, tunnels, and even spies!
It was obvious that this was a book on the art of war, and not an ordinary one at that.
As a matter of fact, when the middle-aged man rolled up the bamboo slips and held them in his hands, the title on the cover was revealed — Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Sun Tzu's Art of War was the earliest military book in Chidragon and the earliest military work in the world. It was known as the Holy Bible of War and was rated as Legendary on the Land of Inheritance!
The author was Sun Wu, and his courtesy name was Changqing.
He was one of the Ten Philosophers of the Wucheng King's Temple and was known as the War Saint!
"You're flattering me. Chief Xiang and Chief Liu are both outstanding men, and Chief Xiang is a member of the School of Military, just like us. How could you not know why I've arranged for them to be together?"
"They also noticed that I covered the battlefield with the military book and led to the 'War of Chu and Han'. It's only because they were willing to let go of their grudges and cooperate that their morale was so high.
"This is a blessing for Dragon City and all human beings!"
Sun Wu shook his head and said solemnly, faced with the compliments of the others.
"Also, it's all thanks to this treasure named SkyNet. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to perform the art of war from dozens of kilometers away."
At the center of the room where the four of them were, the entire Dragon City island was displayed in the form of a 3D projection.
Every area could be zoomed in and out so that they could see everything on the battlefield in real time. They even had detailed information such as the number, level, and comparative data of both sides.
"This SkyNet is truly powerful. It's the ultimate treasure of the militarists. If we had such a treasure in the past, the world wouldn't have been in chaos for hundreds of years. "
The person who spoke this time also had a Legendary military book with bamboo slips. It was named Wu Zi!
Wu Zi, one of the Seven Books of Military Classics.
The author was Wu Qi, a militarist, politician, and reformer in the early Warring States Period.
He knew the thoughts of the militarists, the Legalists, and the Confucians, and he had great achievements in politics and military affairs. Together with Sun Wu, he was one of the Ten Philosophers of the Temple of Martial Arts.
"That's right. Later generations concluded that the militarists were divided into four factions. They were the strategists, the strategists, and the yin and yang of the soldiers. Those three factions were more useful on the battlefield. Only the military techniques could win the battle. With all kinds of Transcendent weapons, even an army of a million ordinary people wouldn't be able to defeat them. "
The third person was sitting in a wheelchair. He had a thin face and an old voice.
A military book was also floating in front of him. It was Sun Bin's Art of War, and the scene of a battle in another settlement was displayed on it.
Sun Bin was a military strategist of the Kingdom of Qi during the Warring States Period. He was a descendant of Sun Wu and one of the 64 generals of the Temple of Martial Arts.
On the other hand, the last person also had a military book named Wei Liaozi.
Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, and Wei Liao were known as the Four Saints of the militarists. They were all Legendary heroes.
Perhaps they weren't as good as some famous generals when they led the troops in person.
However, because they had a deep understanding of the theories of war, they could even use the military books that they wrote to perform military tactics such as "the art of deception", "the right time and the right place", "the right time and the right place", "the best strategy", and "the most important strategy". They could even create a team of a thousand reinforcements out of thin air to reinforce a settlement that was in danger.
The most important thing was that after the four of them fused their innate talents, they would be able to use the Six Secret Teachings, Sima Sutra, Three Strategies, and other Seven Martial Scriptures that Dragon City had bought from the City of Human Lords.
They could create a Quasi Mythological "battlefield deduction" function. By consuming the power of providence, they could learn the alien race's attack routes and what they were likely to do next.
Therefore, although the four of them were in Dreamland Dragon City, they could really decide the outcome of the battle from a thousand kilometers away!
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the City Master. Without the SkyNet to collect so much information, even if we could deduce the changes of the battle, we wouldn't be able to control the battle from a distance!"
While they were exclaiming, they mentioned Ji Ye again.
"Shoot! So, the high and mighty Saint of War is also a flatterer? I feel like my image has collapsed! "
"That's normal. Those who know the art of war can't be bad at politics."
"I feel that these heroes are very respectful when they talk about the City Lord. This makes me very curious about the City Lord!"
On Earth, some people who were watching the stream were even more curious about how Ji Ye, as a player, was able to win over those heroes.
"Tsk. He must've rehearsed it in advance. You Chidragon people are always fond of fake things."
Of course, some people were jealous and "disdainful".
However, the few people of the militarists really had something to say.
Although the SkyNet was a Transcendent heavy treasure, it wasn't as powerful as it was now.
It wasn't until Ji Ye fused the Legendary Stone of Civilization he obtained from the Road to Legendary into the SkyNet and made it a Legendary heavy treasure of the city that it became so powerful.
In the SkyNet, Ji Ye had set up a channel named "Strategy Department". Just like the government center, there were a lot of shining names in the channel, such as Xiang Yu the Overlord, Bai Qi the Butcher, Zhang Liang the Marquis, Han Xin the Soldier Deity, Li Jing the Lord of Defense …
If the names of the "government affairs center" were considered luxurious, then the people in the "military strategy channel" were enough to call them "heavenly groups".
Dragon City had obtained more than twenty Legendary offerings during the process of destroying the Transcendent alien settlement.
After completing the Road to Legendary quest, they bought more than twenty offerings on the Land of Inheritance. Including the players and Zhao Yun who had advanced from the Transcendent level, there were more than fifty Legendary heroes in Dragon City.
More than half of these heroes had the ability to fight or command, and those who were good at fighting made up the majority.
After descending upon Dragon City, they discussed and sparred with each other. Their thoughts were connected, and they improved further. That was the reason why Dragon City had been so confident in fighting against more than a hundred outsiders.
OK.
"However, although we have some experience in commanding and fighting, we're far weaker than the enemy in terms of troops. When it comes to tactics, we should surround them, attack them, and divide them. If we're outnumbered, we can fight them. If we're outnumbered, we can escape, and if we're outnumbered, we can avoid them.
"We're not as strong as the aliens, so we have to abandon part of the settlements and concentrate our forces on the other parts. We'll be able to catch up to the aliens with Hyperspace Teleportation.
"Also, we need someone to stall the aliens in the abandoned settlements and delay their reinforcements!"
