After Zhou Wuwang's departure, the remaining people looked hopeless.
"Let's fight them to the death!" Someone picked up his weapon, unwilling to be slaughtered.
Ouyang Shuo had already taken Jiang Shang's chariot far away from the battlefield. Lin Yi raised his hand expressionlessly. "Fire!"
Arrows rained down from the sky, drowning the remaining soldiers. Not a single one was spared. After that, Lin Yi ordered his men to check them one by one to make sure they didn't slip through. Other than that, the soldiers cut off the heads of the kings, wrapped them in cloth, and tied them to the backs of the horses. They were going to bring them back to Chaoge. This was what King Xin had told them before they left.
Jiang Shang sat in the chariot, sighing when he heard the screams behind him.
The army passed by Muye at three in the afternoon. The army had already followed King Xin back to Chaoge. Ouyang Shuo didn't stay in Muye and went straight back to Chaoge.
After returning to Chaoge, Ouyang Shuo met up with the members of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas and rushed to the palace to report to King Xin. At the same time, he received his reward.
The Battle of Muye had officially ended, and the announcement sounded.
[Battle Announcement: The Battle of Muye has officially concluded. Congratulations to the Shang Dynasty for successfully reversing the course of history. Every Shang Dynasty Lord will be rewarded with 500 achievement points and 50 contribution points on top of the original amount. Friendly reminder: The additional contribution points will not be counted in the contribution ranking. "
Gaia's reward system was very reasonable. There was a base reward of 500 achievement points, ensuring that every player in the faction would benefit. There was also a percentage of contribution points, ensuring that the more the lords contributed, the more rewards they would get. There was a tiered distribution, so they didn't have to share everything.
Finally, the additional contribution points would not be counted in the contribution ranking. This was to ensure fairness between the two factions. At the very least, the losing side wouldn't lose the chance to fight for the contribution ranking.
"Battle Announcement: The Battle of Makino has officially ended. Players will now receive additional contribution points based on how much they contributed to the battle and how much they contributed to the faction."
Subsequently, the sound of the system notification resounded in Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"Announcement: Player Not Have Clothes, the representative of the Shang faction, has contributed a hundred thousand crossbow machines to form an army of slave crossbowmen. Ambushed the Zhou faction's command system in the southern outskirts of Muye. Good command in the final battle. Pursued the remaining enemies and annihilated them. You have made great contributions and will be rewarded with an additional 80,000 contribution points. "
The key to the battle of Muye was the formation of the slave crossbowmen, which was completely led by Ouyang Shuo. With a flip of his hand, he could summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. He had successfully turned the tables, and the effect he played was even greater than during the Zhuolu battle.
In return, Ouyang Shuo's additional combat contribution points reached the total of the Zhuolu battle. Such a good opportunity would be hard to come by in the future, apart from the Battle of Muye.
After calculating all the players' additional Contribution Points, the final Contribution Ranking was officially established.
[Rank] — [Name] — [Contribution Points]
[First Place] – [How Do I Have No Clothes] (240,000 Points)
[2nd Place] – [White Birch] (55,000 points)
[Third Place] – [Caged Phoenix] (50,000 points)
[Fourth Place] – Magnolia Moon (45,000 points)
[5th Place] – [Dragon Seeking Point] (42000 Points)
[6th Place] – [Emperor Dust] (40,000 Points)
[7th Place] – [Siege Lion] (32000 Points)
[Eighth Place] – [Taowu] (30,000 points)
[Ninth Place] – [Blossoming Flame] (25,000 points)
[Tenth Place] – [Lord Chunshen] (15,000 points)
The Alliance of Mountains and Seas won once again. Ouyang Shuo's Contribution Points made everyone despair. In the end, Ouyang Shuo obtained a total of 41,000 Contribution Points, not including the 4000 Contribution Points he obtained from subduing Jiang Shang.
At this point, Ouyang Shuo's Contribution Points had reached 85,800, and he was promoted to a third-rank Marquis. He was only one step away from the 102,400 Contribution Points required for a second-rank Marquis.
With Zhang Liao's help, White Birch once again suppressed Feng Qiuhuang and became the runner-up. She and Feng Qiuhuang also successfully became first-rank Earls with the Contribution Points they obtained in this battle, clearing the biggest obstacle for their territory to become a third-rank county.
Apart from that, Magnolia Moon directly skipped third-rank Earls and was promoted to second-rank Earls. This made her extremely happy. Magnolia Moon's Contribution Points mainly came from Mu Guiying's command.
The Dragon Seeking Point and the Siege Lion were promoted to second-rank Earls and third-rank Earls respectively. After these two battles, the Alliance of Mountains and Seas members' Nobility Ranks shot up like a rocket.
Lord Chunshen and the others had completely missed the opportunity to use the Battle of Muye to promote their Nobility Ranks. If their territory wanted to become a third-rank county, they would have to wait for a long time. They might even have to wait until the next battle. Di Chen, on the other hand, managed to escape and obtained more than 6,000 Contribution Points. However, he was still a distance away from becoming a second-rank Earl.
The Battle of Muye was an important turning point.
Lin Yi led a squadron of cavalry and escorted Ouyang Shuo to the palace. As for Jiang Shang, in order to not attract the attention of other lords, Ouyang Shuo arranged for him to be guarded outside the city.
Ouyang Shuo didn't enter the palace immediately. An hour later, Wang Feng returned with his personal guards and met up with Ouyang Shuo at the palace gates.
Ouyang Shuo told Lin Yi to return to the camp and hand over the spoils of war to his personal guards. He then led his personal guards into the palace under the guidance of the palace guards.
The Shang King, King Xin, received Ouyang Shuo in the main hall. Ouyang Shuo didn't waste any time and ordered his personal guards to hand over the heads of the various lords. Other than that, Wang Feng personally handed over a head to the inner guard.
The inner guard opened it to reveal Zhou Wuwang's head.
It turned out that Ouyang Shuo had planned to use Zhou Wuwang's life to force Jiang Shang to submit. However, he didn't want to affect King Xin's final reward just because he didn't complete the mission. Moreover, he didn't want to give up the 20,000 Contribution Points for killing Zhou Wuwang.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had arranged for Wang Feng to rush to the front of the group through the small path to intercept Zhou Wuwang, who had been released, and capture him all at once. Even Ouyang Shuo himself felt that it was despicable to deceive everyone.
Strictly speaking, Ouyang Shuo didn't break his promise to Jiang Shang. He only promised Jiang Shang to let Zhou Wuwang go, but he didn't promise that he wouldn't send people to kill him.
King Xin was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Wuwang's head. "Good, good, good. I finally got my revenge. Well done, you didn't disappoint me. "
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to say, "King, please agree to a small condition of mine."
"What condition?" King Xin was in a good mood.
"Please temporarily seal the news of Zhou Wuwang's death and announce it after I leave."
"Why is that?" King Xin didn't understand.
Ouyang Shuo said embarrassedly, "Because Jiang Shang has agreed to return with me. I don't want him to know about Zhou Wuwang's death to avoid unnecessary trouble."
King Xin was a smart person. He naturally understood what Ouyang Shuo meant. Fortunately, it would only take a day.
"Okay, I promise you." King Xin was straightforward. He turned to look at E Lai, who was standing at the side of the hall, and said, "I won't go back on my words. I'll leave General E Lai to you. I hope you can put him in an important position."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Thank you, King!"
E Lai understood and walked to Ouyang Shuo. He knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "E Lai greets my lord!"
Ouyang Shuo hurriedly helped E Lai up. "General, please rise!"
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo heard a system notification.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Not Wearing for successfully subduing the Emperor-level historical figure, E Lai."
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check E Lai's attributes.
[Name]: E Lai (Emperor-level)
[Dynasty]: Shang Dynasty
[Identity]: Shanhai County General
[Occupation]: Special-class General
[Loyalty]: 80
[Commander]: 75 [Martial Power]: 98 [Intelligence]: 50 [Politics]: 25
[Specialty]: Courage: Increases troop's attack power by 20; Blood Fiend: Increases troop's morale by 40; Earth Shaking: Increases troop's defense by 20.
[Technique]: Desolate Tiger Sutra
[Equipment]: Bronze Armor
[Evaluation]: A famous general of the Shang Dynasty, the ancestor of the Qin Dynasty. He was famous for his courage. He had the strength to fight rhinoceroses and tigers.
They were both special-class generals. Compared to Shi Wansui, the only thing E Lai lacked was equipment. When he returned, Ouyang Shuo would forge weapons and equipment for E Lai. He would look for a mount and completely equip this fierce general.
King Xin's reward for Ouyang Shuo was not over yet. King Xin personally handed Ouyang Shuo a brocade pouch and said, "My dynasty believes in ghosts and gods and prays for their protection. There are five incense essence pills in the brocade pouch. They are condensed from sacrifices to ghosts and gods and are very precious. They have incredible effects on all kinds of temples. I will now give them to you. "
Ouyang Shuo was stunned. He did not expect there to be such a special item. He accepted it respectfully.
King Shang of Shang continued, "Let's go. Follow me out of the hall and take a look at the last reward that I have prepared for you." With that, he walked out of the hall.
Ouyang Shuo followed behind King Xin. He was very curious. What kind of reward was it that he had to go outside the hall to receive it? He guessed that it should be a very large item.
Sure enough, King Xin pointed to a huge bronze square tripod in the square outside the hall and said, "The square tripod is a symbol of power. I will now give it to you as a reward for your achievements."
Ouyang Shuo looked at it. The tripod had a rectangular mouth, a short edge, square lips, upright ears, straight abdomen, flat bottom, and cylindrical hollow feet. The four sides of the mouth and the corners were decorated with beast patterns and thunder patterns. The bottom of the waist was decorated with milk, and the top of the feet was eye-catching.
Ouyang Shuo did not understand the specific use of the tripod. He put it in his storage pouch and bowed to King Xin. "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"
Then, Ouyang Shuo brought his personal guards out of the palace to meet up with the troops. They then teleported away. (To be continued.)
