Xiangyu was an unparalleled hero and a valiant general. There was no problem with that. However, as long as they were heroes, there would always be some stubbornness. They would rather die in battle than submit to someone else.
It was harder for Xiangyu to bow down to someone than to kill him.
However, after two failures, Xiangyu had matured a lot. He did not achieve hegemony in the wilderness but he felt a lot. He could die in battle but he could not selfishly abandon his family.
"Moreover …" Xiangyu looked at his wife. Even a man of steel could have a soft spot.
His wife was pregnant. This was the biggest comfort for Xiangyu.
This time, he could not be too selfish.
After much discussion, Xiangyu finally made up his mind. He looked at his grandfather, Xiangyan, and said, "Grandfather, I am the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. I can't back down, but my children are innocent. Grandfather, please bring Yu Ji and the others to Great Xia. Even though I do not like Emperor Xia, he is a man of his word. The legacy of the family cannot be cut off. "
Xiang Yan was moved, "What about you?"
"Me?" Xiangyu smiled, "Again, there is only a Hegemon who dies in battle. There is no Xiangyu who surrenders."
"Husband!"
When Yu Ji heard this, her eyes turned red and she looked pitiful.
No one knew Xiangyu better than Yuji. She had a lot of things to say but she could not say a word. She could commit suicide at River Wu but now that she was pregnant, she could not do it.
Xiangyu smiled gently. Similarly, he knew his wife very well. He said, "Yuji, live well and raise our child."
"Husband!"
Tears streamed down Yuji's face.
Xiang Zhuang and the rest saw this and felt bad.
"Don't be so wishy-washy. Leave Pengcheng tonight before the enemy seals it off."
Xiang Zhuang suddenly said, "Brother, I will stay with you!"
Xiangyu was furious. He slammed the table and stood up, "What are you staying for? There are many famous generals in Xia Kingdom. You have to take responsibility if the family wants to establish a foothold in Xia Kingdom. "
"Yes." Xiang Zhuang was ashamed.
The matter was settled. Everyone collected themselves and went to prepare.
…
That night, the core members of the Xiang family brought a batch of the most precious treasures of Western Chu. Under the cover of the night, they left the city in a carriage and headed east.
They arrived at the seaside just before dawn.
There, the Black Shark was already ready. The group of people looked in the direction of Peng City from afar with complicated feelings. They held back their tears and boarded the submarine, disappearing into the vast ocean.
When Fan Zeng discovered that the Xiang Clan had disappeared, it was already the afternoon of the 8th of May. Di Chen received the report. Without hesitation, he ordered the allied forces to besiege Peng City.
"Where did the Xiang family go?"
Di Chen was confused. Logically speaking, the entire Ludong Province was tightly surrounded by the allied forces. There was no reason for anyone to escape. There were many talents in the Xiang Clan. How could Di Chen let them go so easily?
While ordering the allied forces to attack Peng City, Di Chen sent an order to the [Imperial Wind] to search for the whereabouts of the Xiang Clan. "If they're alive, I want to see them. If they're dead, I want to see their bodies!"
From Di Chen's point of view, these people should be hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests to take refuge. There might even be the shadows of the Great Xia's secret agents among them.
"As long as I can't get out of the Ludong Province, I will find you even if I have to dig three feet into the ground," Di Chen thought.
The [Yan Huang Alliance] had paid such a huge price to attack the West Chu. What they wanted was not just a desolate province. The talents of the Xiang Clan were also an important motivation.
Therefore, how could Di Chen let them go so easily?
…
The siege began on the 9th of May. That battle was earth-shattering and the colors of the mountains and rivers changed.
Xiang Yu was determined to die. He led the warriors of the River East and fought with the allied forces of the [Yan Huang Alliance] for two days and two nights. The two sides first fought on the city walls, then turned to the street battles, and finally the Overlord's Mansion.
The entire Peng City was soaked in blood. It was like an endless hell.
The bravery of the Overlord and the strength of the River East warriors were really rare in the world. Even when facing an enemy four times their number, they were not at a disadvantage. Each of them was like a tireless warrior. Unless they died in battle, there was no retreat.
Every time they fought, the number of warriors from the River East would decrease sharply. In the end, only Xiang Yu was left alone.
Xiang Yu stood in the square in front of the Overlord's Mansion. Corpses were piled up around him. Blood soaked the snow-white marble floor. Xiang Yu was already completely covered in blood.
"Tick! Tick! Tick! "
Because he had killed too many people, the blood flowed along the Overlord's halberd and dripped onto the ground, forming a pool of blood.
"Xiang Yu, why don't you surrender?!"
Lian Po stepped forward and tried to persuade Xiang Yu for the last time.
It was such a pity that such a peerless general had died like this.
"Bah!"
Xiang Yu did not want to talk nonsense. He raised his halberd and charged forward.
"Kill him!"
Lian Po saw this and knew that it was useless to say anything else. He could only kill him.
"Kill!"
The elites of the allied forces received the order and surrounded him.
In the end, the Overlord Xiang Yu died of exhaustion under the siege of the allied forces. The soul of a peerless overlord returned to heaven and earth. There was no possibility of him being resurrected.
Lian Po sighed inwardly when he saw this. At the same time, he felt a lingering fear.
Even though the allied forces had the advantage in numbers, they still paid a heavy price to take down the West Chu. In this battle, a total of one hundred and eighty thousand elites were completely buried in the battlefield of the West Chu.
In the battle of Peng City alone, more than forty thousand elites were killed in battle.
The West Chu had used such an impressive battle record to defend their honor.
But that was just honor. At this point, the West Chu that had occupied the wilderness for three years had officially been annihilated. In the entire wilderness, other than the King City and the foreign tribes, there were no other NPC forces.
The moment Xiang Yu died, Yu Ji and the rest had just arrived at the pier of the North Sea Harbor. Although it was afternoon, a comet streaked across the sky, emitting a blinding light.
Yu Ji felt something in her heart. She stared blankly at the comet that flashed by, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Husband!"
Overwhelmed with grief, Yu Ji fainted on the ground.
… …
In the entire China region, there were many who saw this comet.
In the Xia Palace.
Ouyang Shuo stood in front of the window of the imperial study, looking at the comet that streaked across the sky. He muttered to himself, "A great leader has fallen. This is the misfortune of China."
If Xiang Yu was willing, Ouyang Shuo was generous enough to accept this overlord to lead an army in the Great Xia.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not grant his wishes.
Handan City.
Di Chen also noticed the comet and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "It's finally over!" At this moment, his merit points officially broke through the million mark and he was promoted to the Duke rank.
The system announcement sounded.
"World Announcement: Congratulations to player Di Chen of the China region for becoming the third Lord to be promoted to the Duke rank. He will be given the title [Duke of Handan] and will be rewarded 40,000 reputation points. The King City will distribute the rewards accordingly."
…
The world was shocked when the announcement was made.
No one had expected that two of the top three Dukes in the world would be from the China region.
William and the other Lords felt a sense of urgency. All of them worked hard to make use of the upcoming war to earn a lot of merit points and be promoted to the Duke rank as soon as possible.
"We're already too far behind!" William's expression was a little ugly.
It was foreseeable that after the war ended in June, there would be a batch of Dukes. Following that, there would be the emergence of many Dynasties.
The players of the China region were naturally happy and felt that they had gained a lot of face. However, it was not without hidden worries. As Di Chen was promoted to the Duke rank, the competition between the [Yan Huang Alliance] and the Great Xia would probably become even more intense.
Perhaps, this was the worry of happiness.
… …
After a lot of hard work and planning, Di Chen had finally achieved his wish. With Handan City's heritage, it would soon be promoted to the capital city, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of a dynasty.
The China region seemed to be ushering in an extraordinary era.
Di Chen was secretly excited when he suddenly received an urgent report from Lian Po.
It turned out that after killing Xiang Yu, Lian Po was in charge of taking over Peng City and searching the treasury. He was shocked when he saw what he found.
Lian Po had searched all the treasuries, including the secret room of the Overlord's Mansion. Other than ordinary rations and weapons, there was not a single precious item. It was extremely strange.
The West Chu had occupied the wilderness for three years, so it was impossible that there were no treasures. Thinking of the Xiang Clan that had not been seen until now, it was obvious that the treasures had been taken away by the Xiang Clan.
Di Chen's face turned green with anger when he saw it. "This is ridiculous! Investigate, investigate thoroughly! Even if you have to turn the entire Ludong Province upside down, you must find them for me. "
At this moment, Peerless Elegance hurried in.
Seeing that Di Chen was in a rage, Peerless Elegance wanted to say something but stopped.
Seeing this, Di Chen said in a low voice, "What other bad news do you have? Tell me all at once. I can still handle it."
Peerless Elegance looked at Di Chen with some sympathy and said, "[Imperial Wind] just got the news that Xiang Yan and the others appeared in Shanhai City and were personally received by the old fox."
"Crack!"
The brush in his hand was broken into two by Di Chen.
The room fell into a dead silence. This was a huge blow to Di Chen. It was like Ouyang Shuo slapping Di Chen in the face when he was at his best.
This kind of pain was excruciating.
"I want to know, how did they escape? What does [Imperial Wind] do? Are they all a bunch of useless people?! There were so many of them, yet they managed to slip away from under our noses? "
Di Chen's voice was very cold, like the cold wind of the north, bone-chilling.
"This is very strange. [Imperial Wind] guarantee that they have deployed the entire border, and no one has retreated. Even the west side is guarded, so it is impossible for them to escape. "Peerless Elegance was also very confused.
"Hmph, could it be that those people grew wings and flew away?" Di Chen's words were full of sarcasm. In his opinion, this must be the excuse of [Imperial Wind].
But Peerless Elegance had a different view, "You know the style of [Imperial Wind]. They would not dare to be careless in this kind of matter. Perhaps, Xiang Yan and the others used some kind of special tool, such as a teleportation talisman. "
The game world was rich and colorful, and there were all kinds of strange tools.
If there really were teleportation talismans, then there was nothing strange about it.
Hearing this, Di Chen's heart was bleeding. No matter how the Great Xia did it, the result was: [Yan Huang Alliance] had sacrificed a lot to take down West Chu. For this, they had even abandoned the entire Guan Xi Province. In the end, the most valuable spoils of war were easily taken away by the Great Xia.
"We must take revenge for this!" Di Chen's face was fierce.
