At the current stage of the game, Yang Rui, as a Marquis, had a huge advantage against normal players. This advantage was not only in terms of strength.
The three kingdoms were still under the rule of the Han Dynasty. This fact could not be changed even though the various Marquises had gradually formed. As such, whether it was NPCs or players, they were still greatly restricted when fighting against the Marquises.
First of all, as long as there was evidence, the Marquises had the initiative to determine factions. As long as there was a specific case against the Han Dynasty, the Marquises could determine that the person was in the rebel faction. Moreover, this was effective in the entire Han Dynasty.
In other words, if a player was determined to be in the rebel faction in Yang Rui's territory, in the future, they would be in the opposing faction in any other Marquises' territories.
Of course, other Marquises might take a laissez-faire attitude, but the identity of the rebel faction could not be changed for the time being. Movement, supplies, and many other aspects would be greatly restricted.
It was because of this restriction that even at the current stage of the game, there had not been any large-scale violent actions against the Han Dynasty's Marquises.
Targeting the Han Dynasty's Marquises at any level would be seen as a rebel. Not only would they directly change factions, but even if they could take down a city, they would not have the qualifications to occupy it. It required the local Marquises to reach a certain level, which was the same as leveling up a city.
Secondly, the Marquises had many restrictions on players, such as the closure of teleportation circles, transportation channels, and restrictions on supplies. Moreover, these restrictions were not different in the three kingdoms.
"System Notification: Do you want to determine players God's Left Hand, A Word of Brother, A Lifetime Brother, Tear Off Insufferably Arrogant, Pull Up Cynical, Years of Growth Ring, Hopeless, The Passage of Time, Starlight, Soul Wound, Insufferably Arrogant, Soul Sorrow, Insufferably Arrogant, T Sun, S Insufferably Arrogant … etc as the rebel faction?
After making the relevant choices. It may cause a certain restriction on the corresponding player group. It may also cause a series of unpredictable consequences … Please make your choice! "
Qucheng County, Inner City of the Three Kingdoms. In front of the city control panel, Yang Rui was looking at a long list of names. In the end, he made a firm decision and decided that these players were from the Han Dynasty rebel faction.
Before this, Yang Rui wasn't hesitant when he examined the list of players. It was just that Yang Rui found one or two clans that appeared frequently among the messy names of the players on the list. Perhaps this would provide some clues for Yang Rui to find the mastermind behind the strange movements of the Qingzhou players.
"Protest! Why were they judged as rebels? "
"Hurry up and give us an explanation. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude …"
"Ping ping ping …"
“.....”
Outside Qucheng County. After Yang Rui made his choice, all the players who participated in the rebellion received a system prompt, informing them that Green Province had included them in the ranks of the rebel camp. Some players had already begun to attack the city gates and walls of Chord City.
"All infantry, prepare to head out of the city for battle. Archers, fire!"
At this time, Yang Rui had also arrived at the city walls. He immediately opened the game's built-in video system. First, he captured a few scenes of the players attacking the city. After that, he gave the order to attack without hesitation.
"Creak …"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
"Whoosh whoosh … whoosh …"
“.....”
As Yang Rui's voice trailed off, forty to fifty thousand soldiers stood up on the walls of Chord City. All of them were long-range archers of Fourth Grade and above. With so many of them drawing their bows and firing arrows at the same time … The entire Chord City shook with the sound of bows being drawn, followed by the hair-raising sound of breaking through the air …
So far. The long-range force in Yang Rui's hands was not small. Apart from Cheng Yu's 50000 Silver Painted Crossbowmen, Yang Rui still had seventy to eighty thousand long-range archers. Among them, 10000 sets of Second Grade to Fourth Grade Archer Skill Books obtained from Dong Zhuo had all been trained. 10000 sets of Second Grade to Sixth Grade Archer Skill Books obtained from Liu Dai had all been trained to Fourth Grade.
In addition, Yang Rui had exchanged 50000 Fifth Grade Archer Skill Books at the end of Dong Zhuo's Rebellion storyline. Another 50000 archers had been added to Yang Rui's force, and all of them had been promoted to Fourth Grade. In addition to the Archer Skill Books of various grades that Yang Rui had obtained, there were close to ten thousand sets in total. The number of Third Grade and Fourth Grade archers that he had trained was also not small.
This time, Yang Rui had brought over more than half of them from Pingyuan County, Fan County, and other places. There were about 50000 of them, and they were stationed on the walls of Chord City. One could easily imagine the momentum of their attack.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
* Whoosh whoosh … whoosh … *
"Damn! They're really attacking! "
"Run!"
“.....”
Following the sudden rain of arrows from the city walls, the players who had been causing trouble in the city fell into chaos. More than half of the twenty to thirty thousand players were taken down in an instant.
Such a scene was tragic, especially in the four city gates where the players were more concentrated. Under Yang Rui's special care, the arrows rained down like locusts, and blood splattered everywhere. The players who were originally aggressive were instantly terrified. In the face of such a dense rain of arrows, their desire to escape had become a kind of desire!
Yang Rui's attack was too sudden. These players were not mentally prepared at all. They did not even expect that so many long-range archers would appear in Chord County City. They did not even have the awareness that they would be attacked.
If they were targeting an NPC force, perhaps they would not dare to be so arrogant. The rules of NPCs and players were very different. Perhaps the moment the players showed signs of causing trouble in the city, they would immediately be attacked!
However, Yang Rui was a player. Whether it was in the game or in reality, he was subject to a lot of restrictions. Even if Yang Rui already possessed a force that was not weaker than any of the NPC lords, sometimes public opinion and the threat of reality were the most solid obstacles. Many of the players who were causing trouble had considered this point. That was why they were so fearless before this.
What they did not expect was … This time, Yang Rui really made his move. And once he made his move, it was a killing blow!
In fact, it was not that Yang Rui did not consider this point. First of all, Yang Rui did not need to consider too much in the real world. So far, Yang Rui's true identity was still unknown. His safety in the real world was not a problem. On the other hand, Yang Rui also considered the possible pressure from public opinion. Therefore, Yang Rui started a "live broadcast" on the forum almost immediately after he launched his attack.
"Blood for blood — I sincerely warn the unreasonable players of Qingzhou not to kill any innocent people, including NPCs!"
This was the post that Yang Rui posted on the forum. The post recorded the entire process of the conflict in Chord County in the form of images and pictures.
The first thing that appeared was the corpses of several NPCs killed by players in Chord County City. Yang Rui took a complete screenshot of the entire scene and gave a detailed explanation. It explained the damage that the players caused to Yang Rui and the cruelty of their methods.
Then, Yang Rui posted the video of the players attacking the city walls and gates after the change of camp, indicating that it was the players who took the initiative to attack.
Following that, Yang Rui did not hide the fact that he had shot out a rain of arrows and swept down a group of players who had surrounded the city. While expressing that a debt of blood must be paid with blood, he had also forcefully displayed his own attack methods, hoping that it would serve as a deterrent …
Yang Rui's post was posted using the Platinum-level forum account "Little White Gongzi" as usual. The moment it was uploaded, it was automatically highlighted by the system and automatically pinned to the top. It was very eye-catching and immediately became the most popular post in the forum.
“.....”
"Scorching Sun is courageous! This is how you should deal with unreasonable troublemakers! Supporting Scorching Sun … "
"Upstairs, are you Blazing Sun's fans? Courageous?! It should be bloody, right? No matter what kind of situation you encounter, shouldn't you take it out and have a good talk? This was simply a massacre of the players! It's too cruel! "
"Yes! Cruel! I suggest all the players in the Three Kingdoms region to unite. Resist Blazing Sun's cruel actions … "
"If it were you, would you talk? He killed your NPC Liegeman and you still want to talk?! Who taught you? I look down on people like you who don't have the ability and only know how to protest. I'll flick your face! "
"Now is not the time to talk. The problem is how long Blazing Sun's actions will last. Is he going to kill all the players in Green Province?!"
“.....”
The Three Kingdoms region forum was suddenly lively. There were people saying all kinds of things, but this was not what Yang Rui cared about. Even if this was a massacre, the process of the massacre was not over yet!
"All Iron Guards, prepare to open the city gates! Kill! "
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
“.....”
The players outside the city had been baptized by the archers. Under Yang Rui's command, 40000 Iron Guards, under the command of Zhang Liao, Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo, and Han Dai, rushed out like wolves and tigers, scaring the players who had luckily escaped the rain of arrows. The massacre in Qu County City continued to spread out …
"County Magistrate Cheng, County Magistrate Gao, County Magistrate Zhu, County Magistrate Meng, each of you take 30000 Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers and hunt down the rebellious Liegeman within the county. You must search every corner of the county and ensure the safety of the Liegeman within the county. Search the Liegeman's territory in detail. Anyone who obstructs you will be dealt with as rebellious!"
After the Iron Guards had killed for a while, Yang Rui ordered the Qu County staff to take 20,000 soldiers and hunt down the rebellious players. The momentum was just as shocking.
"All Iron Guards, heed my command. All of you, enter the storage ring."
From the moment the Iron Guards left the city to pursue the rebellious players, Yang Rui had already stored the archers and soldiers into the storage ring. Less than an hour after the Iron Guards had returned, Yang Rui had already appeared on the city walls of Dangli County City.
Perhaps due to the influence of Yang Rui's' live broadcast 'post on the forums, the number of players around Dangli County City had decreased by half. However, there were still tens of thousands of players who had not left.
"… Archers, fire!"
After waiting for the troops to get ready, Yang Rui once again determined that the players surrounding the city were part of the rebel faction and immediately gave the order to attack. A scene similar to what had happened outside of Qu City also began to play out in Dangli County City.
