"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"… …"
The Southern Family only had around 1000 people in the Nation War City. They were only here to maintain order. In the end, Yang Rui gave the task of sieging the city to Zhang He. He also had a condition that he was not allowed to damage any of the city's structures.
Ji Ling's troops would be there as backup, just in case something happened.
Actually, with the current situation, there was no need for backup. However, Yang Rui had brought both Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops. There was a problem of who would disembark first and who would disembark later. Otherwise, the result would be the same no matter who was given the task of sieging the city.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"… …"
The Southern Family did not have many troops in the first place. Moreover, their battle strength was very mediocre. It could be said that there was no suspense in sieging the city. Even when Yang Rui asked them not to damage the structure of the city, Zhang He's troops did it very well.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for conquering a small Nation War City in the Wei Nation's territory. You have received 40,000 Achievement Points, 40,000 Contribution Points, and 500 Reputation!"
Yang Rui had commanded the siege of the Nation War City and participated in the final battle in Tianshou Pavilion. He immediately received the system notification that he had received Contribution Points, Achievement Points, and Reputation.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, as you have conquered a Nation War City in the Wei Nation's territory, you can choose to occupy it or destroy it. If you choose to occupy it for more than 10 game days, you will gain full ownership of the city … …"
"I choose to occupy it!"
Another system notification appeared, telling Yang Rui that he had chosen to destroy the city. This Nation War City was originally planned and built by Wako Uesugi under Yang Rui's command. Yang Rui naturally chose to occupy it.
The system's requirement of occupying 10 game days was to give the original owner a chance to counterattack. To Yang Rui, occupying 10 game days was not a difficult task.
"System Announcement: As the forces of the three countries have broken into the territory of the Nihon civilization and occupied more than one city, the second battlefield of the procedural national war between the three countries and the Nihon civilization has been opened. The nature of this national war has changed from a procedural one to a conventional one …"
Following this, another civilization region system announcement was made. It was actually related to the change in the nature of the World War, which surprised Yang Rui.
As a matter of fact, from the very beginning, Yang Rui didn't really understand what the so-called 'procedural' meant. Now that it had turned into a 'regular' national war, Yang Rui was still confused about the difference between the two.
However, this did not affect Yang Rui's participation in the Nation War. At that moment, Yang Rui's goal was not as simple as destroying the Wei Nation War. At the very least, he wanted to help Wako Uesugi through the Nation War.
At that moment, Wako Uesugi was not idle. After she left the Nation War City, she led the fleet along the coastline toward the Kingdom of Echigo. She wanted to listen to Yang Rui's suggestion and give up on the sea where she had no advantage and return to land.
Wako Uesugi already knew about the existence of Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Bu Ji, Bian Xi, and the other Yellow Turban Tribe members on Sado Island. She also knew that Yang Rui wanted to make a big move in this civilization's territory. Naturally, she had to cooperate with him.
"System Notification: In the Nation War, the three civilizations have attacked our Nation War City. If they occupy it for more than ten game days, we will lose the ownership of the city. The Wei Nation's forces should consciously counterattack and expel the enemy forces from their territory as soon as possible …"
The news of Yang Rui attacking the Nation War City and choosing to occupy it was also immediately announced in the Wei Nation's territory. At that moment, Wako Uesugi naturally knew about the relevant facts.
The system had set the ownership of the Nation War City for ten game days. Naturally, there was also a corresponding setting. The system notification released by the Wei Nation's territory was to mobilize the forces in the territory to counterattack and retake the Nation War City.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui's forces could not be idle. The Nation War City was under attack almost all the time during the ten game days!
Fortunately, the system did not specifically arrange for the teleportation of missions. Otherwise, Yang Rui's forces would face the counterattack of the entire Wei Nation's territory. There was no way they could defend the city.
At that moment, if the Wei Nation's forces wanted to launch an attack on the Nation War City, they could only do it through the normal transportation of troops and resources. With the Nation War City's territory being remote and sparse, the counterattack that Yang Rui's forces faced would be limited.
However, even if they held on for ten game days, they would only be able to obtain the ownership of the city. From there, they would only be able to obtain all the rights and functions of the city. They could still be attacked at any time.
Once the enemy took back the city and occupied it for more than ten game days, the city would become their territory again and would not be affected at all. Unless they chose to destroy the city as soon as they obtained it.
Yang Rui needed a place to stay, and for this reason, he had spent a lot of effort to build the Nation War City through Wako Uesugi. Naturally, he could not choose to destroy it directly.
The defending side had the home ground advantage, but on the other hand, other than the Nation War City, if Yang Rui took down the other territories, he could choose to destroy them without hesitation to prevent the enemy from snatching them back again.
From this point of view, once the enemy invaded one's territory during the Nation War, one would face a huge risk of losses. This was the case even if one had the home ground advantage in terms of manpower and resources.
Yang Rui had taken down the Nation War City in Nation War City and prepared to defend it with all his might. The related system announcement was released in the Wei Nation's territory, which caused a huge reaction in the Wei Nation's territory, especially among the players.
Previously, the Nation War between the two sides was almost a closed system, and the two Universal Civilizations almost could not obtain first-hand news. Even if they could obtain the news through the players' deaths and revivals, the news would be delayed for a long time.
However, now that the news of the three countries invading suddenly broke out, it was like a huge nuclear bomb had been dropped in the Wei Nation's territory. The Wei Nation players were all shocked, angry, and in disbelief.
In fact, the first wave of counterattacks against the Nation War City was the Wei Nation's player group in Nation War City. Among them were two large player organizations and dozens of other player organizations. The total number of people mobilized within an hour had exceeded one million.
In comparison, Yang Rui's troops did not exceed 600,000, and one-third of them were still on the ships.
