Actually, even if Trace Dragon Soul didn't mention this, Yang Rui had originally considered breaking through on the Yellow River's surface. The north and south of Hulao Pass were all mountains, and there was no other path from the east to the west. This was something Yang Rui had personally investigated beforehand.
Only the Yellow River's surface was very wide, and ships could pass through without being restricted by Hulao Pass. Thus, Yang Rui had thought of this a while ago! Now, it seemed like Yang Rui wasn't the only one who thought of this. Trace Dragon Soul and the others had also made preparations and brought a lot of water forces.
However, they were all players, and Dragon Soul's territory was within Sili, so it wasn't surprising that they could think of this. Yang Rui was very curious. How many water forces did these players bring? What were the ranks of the soldiers and ships?
"Oh? Brother Trace's idea sounds good, but the number of water soldiers I have is very limited. How many water forces do the players have? "Yang Rui probed.
Trace Dragon Soul came to discuss with Yang Rui mainly because he wanted to borrow Yang Rui's name to march the army, so that they wouldn't be restricted by the Anti-Dong Alliance. He didn't need to answer Yang Rui's question about the water forces of the player organizations.
However, since he wanted to borrow Yang Rui's name, he had to share some of the benefits with Yang Rui. Furthermore, in the current storyline, the various forces couldn't be carried by items. If Yang Rui wanted to know the water forces of the players, he only needed to go to Wenshui to take a look. Dragon Soul's water soldiers and ships were also like Yang Rui's. They were all stationed at Wenshui's side of the camp.
"Haha, Brother Blazing Sun, there's no need to be modest. When we teleported over, we noticed that Brother's water soldiers and ships were all on the shore of the Wenshui. There were quite a few of them, and the ships were also very unique. I was thinking of asking Blazing Sun if he had any extra ships to sell.
Our Dragon Soul, as well as the other Navy Soldiers and ships that we can take out, have also been brought over. Altogether, there were only three to four thousand Navy Soldiers and three hundred or so ships. If Blazing Sun was interested, he could go and take a look.
Of course, if Brother Blazing Sun wants to move with us, we can discuss the details. If Brother Blazing Sun doesn't want to send out the Water Soldiers, we can move alone. But if the other vassals ask about it, Blazing Sun will have to cover for them. It's to prevent us from being punished by the plot for acting on our own … "
"Let's go, let's go to Wenshui and take a look. We can talk about the specifics as we go …"
Yang Rui didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to understand the strength of the various player organizations. Thus, he followed Dragon Soul to the side of the camp near Wenshui.
"Let me ask something that I shouldn't ask. According to my understanding, most of your Dragon Soul's territories are within Si Li. Now that they have chosen the Anti-Dong Alliance, will those territories be lost? "
"Haha … those territories have all chosen Dong Zhuo's faction, but most of the players have already left their territories. Now, those territories are just empty shells …"
"What a good move, Brother Tracing is indeed brilliant!"
"…"
On the way to Wenshui, Yang Rui tried to ask about the Dragon Soul's territories within Si Li. Regarding this, Tracing Dragon Soul didn't hide anything. His method also surprised Yang Rui. It turned out that those territories had chosen Dong Zhuo's faction, and after the players in those territories left, they had all chosen to join the Anti-Dong Alliance and participate in the Dong Zhuo's Rebellion storyline!
While Yang Rui was praising Dragon Soul's method, he couldn't help but be puzzled. If all the Dragon Soul players participated in the storyline as scattered players, wouldn't their Merit, points, and various quests suffer a huge loss?
Then Dragon Soul must have other high level territories! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to use the many players to accumulate Merit, points, and so on! Yang Rui finally came to a conclusion.
Actually, just as Yang Rui had guessed, Dragon Soul did indeed have many high level territories participating in the storyline. Furthermore, all the Liegeman in these high level territories had been replaced with the core players of Dragon Soul. This way, they could earn more Merit, points, quest rewards, and so on. Most of the other player organizations also did this.
However, what Yang Rui didn't expect was that the Dragon Soul's territory within Si Li was only one of the territories within Dragon Soul's territory. Currently, Dragon Soul had established many high level territories in other provinces and counties. Even the Starlight territory that Yang Rui discovered wasn't its only territory …
"Brother Tracing's Water Soldiers and ships are indeed very strong!"
As they spoke, Yang Rui and Dragon Soul had already arrived at the Wenshui shore where the Water Soldiers and ships were stationed. As far as the eye could see, there were actually more than 10 large transport ships with sails. They were at least 3 to 4 times larger than the largest ship in Yang Rui's possession. They were especially eye-catching. Yang Rui couldn't help but sigh.
The potential of the player community was never to be underestimated, especially for a large player organization like Dragon Soul. Although Yang Rui had a lifetime of gaming experience, he never dared to underestimate any large player organization. This was the reason why.
However, the large ships with sails that appeared on the Wenshui still surprised Yang Rui. It made Yang Rui feel that his strength on the water was insufficient, and a sense of urgency arose.
"I knew that even Blazing Sun would be tempted. Those 12 large ships really aren't ordinary. However, they don't belong to our Dragon Soul. Those are Boss Yuan Yuantuan's favorite. Before this, no one knew of the existence of these ships. I only found out about them by chance. Furthermore, it took me a herculean effort to convince the other party to bring these ships over!"
Trace Dragon Soul looked at the ships on the water surface with covetous eyes. It turns out that he wasn't the owner of those large ships. The true owner of the large ships was the number one player in Asia, Yuan Yuantuan.
"Brother Blazing Sun should have brought around 1000 Water Soldiers right? We have around 4000 Water Soldiers here. Blazing Sun's ship and our ship can simultaneously transport 10 to 20 thousand soldiers. I wonder if Blazing Sun is prepared to break into Si Li with us and wreak havoc behind Dong Zhuo's back? What we players want are points, achievement points and various quests. Wasting time with those NPC nobles is just a waste of time … … "
After checking the strength of the water surface with Yang Rui, Trace Dragon Soul continued to speak. From this, it could be seen that even without sufficient strength, Trace Dragon Soul hoped that Yang Rui's Water Soldiers and ships could participate in this operation.
In reality, Yang Rui also knew that although Yuan Shao might be delayed at Sour Jujube for a few more days, it wouldn't be long. Otherwise, not only would the NPC forces be stationed at Sour Jujube, but the players would also be stationed there. The storyline wouldn't be able to progress.
When Sun Jian's Vanguard left, he had already brought a large number of players with him. This included many scattered players who had followed Sun Jian's forces to Tiger Cage Pass. As such, it was normal for the remaining players to be anxious.
"Alright! We'll do as Brother Trace says. I'll have the Water Soldiers and ships cooperate with Brother Trace. I wonder when Brother Trace plans to depart? "Yang Rui said after making up his mind.
In reality, Yang Rui originally had two choices. Although it seemed that the only way to enter the Guanzhong area was to enter the Guanzhong area, Yang Rui, who had a lifetime of experience, knew that after the plot of asking for Dong Zhuo began, there was also the existence of Dong Zhuo's camp on the eastern road — the Black Mountain Army.
When the alliance was fighting against Dong Zhuo, the Black Mountain Army had indeed attacked Wei County and the East County. It was very likely that due to the storyline, the game had included Dong Zhuo's Black Mountain Army to enrich the second battlefield. In reality, it was not clear whether the two sides had colluded or not. In his previous life, there were many discussions about this on the forums.
This game information was probably the last bit of experience that Yang Rui could use at this stage of the game. After the Quest for Dong Zhuo's Rebellion in his previous life, Yang Rui's game experience was basically gone.
As the Black Mountain Army would be near Yan Province's East County, Yang Rui had two choices. One was to continue to stay in Luoyang. The other was to lead the army to the East and focus on dealing with the Black Mountain Army.
In reality, returning to the East County might not be a bad choice. There were no obstacles like Hulao Pass that were difficult to pass. The way to farm monsters there should be more freedom. Moreover, it was closer to Big Mountain City and Qingzhou, so it would be easier to get supplies.
After the storyline, Yang Rui's storage ring could no longer be used. This time, when Yang Rui came to the Sour Jujube Alliance. On one hand, he had brought some supplies with him. On the other hand, Yang Rui had also reached an agreement with A Pint of Incense through Wei Xiu. After Qingzhou handed over the food, he would take the food from Chen Liu. In the middle, he would hand over 10% of the food as a commission for A Pint of Incense. In other words, Qingzhou would hand over 100 catties of food to A Pint of Incense. Yang Rui could also take 90 catties of food from Chen Liu.
Initially, Wei Xiu had already set up a team of carriages, but the scale was still very small. It was impossible to rely solely on Wei Xiu's team of carriages to transport the food. Fortunately, with Wei Xiu's help, A Pint of Incense had reached an agreement to transport the food. Moreover, the 10% commission was already more than half of the discount. The key was that it was very convenient!
However, the Black Mountain Army was not the main battlefield of Dong Zhuo's rebellion. At the same time, Yang Rui had also accepted a quest from Empress Dowager He. The time limit of the quest was to ask for Dong Zhuo's help. There was not much time left, so Yang Rui wanted to try to complete it.
Most importantly, there would be more opportunities in the main storyline area. Now that Yang Rui had become the Deputy Alliance Master and had a lot of military power, the chances of him seizing the opportunity had greatly increased. Therefore, after some consideration, Yang Rui finally agreed to Trace Dragon Soul's suggestion.
"Of course, the sooner the better! Now that it's getting late, I think we should set it for tonight. Since it's dark, we can avoid the eyes of the other Lords and travel more smoothly! "Trace Dragon Soul replied.
"Alright, Brother Trace. Let's set off at midnight! However, there's one thing I need to make clear to Brother Trace. My ships and soldiers will need Brother Trace to lead them for a day or two. After that, I can rush over. Furthermore, since the ships have different speeds, we will move separately after entering the territory of Si Li. This way, Dong Zhuo's side will be distracted … "
