Ouyang Shuo didn't gather the members of the Alliance for a meeting.
It was already the fifth battle. Everyone knew what to do, so there was no need for them to give instructions.
Moreover, the territory had developed to this point, and no one was an ignorant person. There was no need for Ouyang Shuo to give them advice one by one. It wouldn't be good to say too much.
That was how people were. As their status increased, their mentality would naturally change.
Not to mention Feng Qiuhuang and White Birch, even if Siege Lion and the others were placed in the outside world, no matter how disappointing they were, they would still be famous feudal lords. They were existences that most players had to look up to.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo was very careful and knew when to stop.
He took the time to go to Cliff Mountain City to pick up Little White.
It wasn't appropriate to call it Little White.
Ever since Cliff Mountain City was established, the three of them had been cultivating in the Spirit Beast Pavilion and had already reached the initial stage. Other than Xue 'er, who was a special case, Little Blue and Little White were already close to adulthood.
Little Blue's size was almost the same as its parents, making people feel intimidated at first sight. When it wasn't cultivating in the Spirit Beast Pavilion, Little Blue would often swim in the sea outside the city.
The players who were active in Cliff Mountain City all knew that this was a different Nian. Many players saw Little Blue as the guardian beast of Cliff Mountain City.
In fact, that was the case.
The nearby sea was much quieter because of Little Blue's existence. The evil beasts in the sea rarely dared to get close to Jingzhou Island. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he would become Little Green's food.
Little White's body also grew bigger by the day.
Today, he was no longer the little wolf cub from before. Instead, he was an exceptionally mighty and handsome white wolf. However, its gaze didn't change. It was still lazy and didn't look energetic at all.
As for Snow, she was much more mysterious.
He had been cultivating for so long, but he didn't look any different from the outside.
She was still so innocent and unaffected.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't even check her attributes.
Cultivation in the Spirit Beast Pavilion was undoubtedly very boring.
The three of them were very close to Ouyang Shuo. Especially Snow, who stuck close to Ouyang Shuo.
If it wasn't for Bing 'er visiting them often, they probably wouldn't have lasted until now.
Ouyang Shuo took Little White away. Even Little Qing, who usually ignored him, was reluctant to leave.
Ouyang Shuo had a hunch that Little White, as the Wolf God, might be of some help in the battle of Mobei. That was why he brought Little White along. The other two children were naturally unable to follow along.
However, he could consider bringing Little Qing along for the upcoming voyage.
The next two days were extremely ordinary.
All the preparations for the battle were in order.
To the current Combat Readiness Division, it was extremely easy to prepare the logistics resources for three thousand people.
Every Divine Martial Guard was armed to the extreme.
Radiant Armor, Tang Sword, Lance, Divine Crossbow, etc. These were all standard equipment. He was armed to the teeth.
This was especially so for the Divine Armed Crossbow, which had been specially modified by the Combat Readiness Division. Even during high-speed movements like charging, as long as one trained well, one could still shoot three arrows consecutively. It was truly a killing machine.
In addition, some Divine Martial Guards with excellent archery skills were also equipped with longbows. Some of the Barbarian Mountain Barbarian soldiers were equipped with one-handed shields according to their specialties.
Every Divine Guard's equipment was custom-made.
The value of a full set of equipment was no less than a few hundred gold coins.
Every Divine Martial Guard's luggage was filled with military rations pills. It was enough to last them and their horses for more than a month.
After entering deep into the desert, even if the Han army wanted to provide logistics, they would not be able to.
Therefore, they had to bring enough military rations pills.
Ouyang Shuo believed that the other feudal lords must have made the same arrangements.
The difference was that Shanhai City's military research was at the forefront of China.
It was reported that the Combat Readiness Division was already developing a super military rations pill. Just one small pill was enough to support a cavalryman and his mount for a day.
He had brought enough tents for the army.
The new generation of military tents was only the size of a backpack after it was completely folded. As for carrying heavy loads, it was basically not a burden to the elite Green Beetle Horses of the Divine Martial Guards.
It was difficult for an army to spend the night in the desert without tents.
Apart from that, the Combat Readiness Division also made some modifications to the Divine Martial Guards' cloaks. They added a specially made hood on top of the cloak. After wearing it, it could reduce the impact of sandstorms to a considerable extent.
Ouyang Shuo originally planned to ask the Combat Readiness Division to develop a type of protective goggles.
Unfortunately, Shanhai City did not have the technology to make glass, so they could only give up.
Apart from that, the Divine Martial Guards' boots, backpacks, daggers, belts, and even the shirts inside were all the latest new generation of special combat equipment developed by the Combat Readiness Division.
They had already started developing this equipment when they were building the special combat base.
Now, it had basically taken shape.
The current Divine Martial Guards truly had the framework of an ancient special combat force.
Of course, there were also problems that the Combat Readiness Division could not solve.
For example, drinking water.
For an army in the desert, drinking water was as important as rations.
It could even be said that it was the most important thing.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as compressed water in this world.
Just relying on the water in the water pouch was definitely not enough.
This could only be solved by the Divine Martial Guards themselves.
When Ouyang Shuo bought the Super Space at the auction, he expanded the storage pouch to ten thousand cubic meters, which was enough to store enough drinking water.
Unfortunately, the storage pouch could not be used even on the battlefield.
…
On the 18th of January in the third year of Gaia, at nine in the morning, the system announcement rang.
[System Announcement: In the spring of 119 BC, after the battle between the south of the desert and the west of the river, the Xiongnu Chanyu led his troops to the north of the desert. However, they continued to attack the northern prefectures of the Han Dynasty, attempting to lure the Han Army to cross the desert. Emperor Wu of Han sent General Wei Qing and Cavalry General Huo Qubing to lead fifty thousand cavalrymen and tens of thousands of infantrymen into North Desert in an attempt to wipe out the main force of the Xiongnu. He also organized hundreds of thousands of infantrymen and tens of thousands of horses to support the battle.
This battle was the culmination of Emperor Wu's strategic attack on the Xiongnu. It was also the decisive battle between the Xiongnu Chanyu and the Western Han Dynasty, which ended in a complete victory for the Han army. The fifth epic battle, the Battle of North Desert, has officially begun! "
In the square of Shanhai City, the three thousand Divine Martial Guards were in formation and ready to go.
They checked the conditions to participate in the battle and confirmed the number of participants.
Ouyang Shuo was about to choose his faction when he heard the system notification.
"System Notification: In the Battle of North Desert, the Mutant Army will be the Western Han Dynasty's faction by default. No need to choose."
"Default faction? Interesting, "Ouyang Shuo mumbled to himself.
Before he could finish, another system notification sounded.
"System notification: The Western Han Dynasty's faction is divided into Wei Qing's faction and Huo Qubing's faction. Please make your choice."
"What does this mean? The battle hasn't even started and we're already choosing sides? "
Ouyang Shuo frowned. He felt that this battle was full of mysteries.
Historically, the Battle of North Desert had indeed been divided into two factions.
Wei Qing led his troops and set off from Dingxiang. Huo Qubing led his troops and set off from Dai County.
The distance between the two cities was more than a hundred miles.
If that was the case, they really had to choose sides in advance so that they could immediately join the battle.
"What's the difference?" Ouyang Shuo was still worried.
"The route chosen will involve different missions to subdue different generals," Gaia revealed.
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"The feudal lord who chooses the eastern front will be the first to arrive at Wolf Storey Mountain and will be able to subdue Huo Qubing. The feudal lord who chooses the western front will be given two routes. "
"Which two routes?"
Ouyang Shuo's heart twitched when he heard that he could directly subdue Huo Qubing.
Gaia was really going all out this time.
"The central army that follows Great General Wei Qing will be able to subdue Wei Qing as long as they kill Chanyu. The eastern army that follows Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi will be able to subdue Li Guang as long as they successfully find them and bring them back to the right path. This will prevent Li Guang from committing suicide out of shame because he got lost. "Gaia was not ambiguous.
"…"
Ouyang Shuo was speechless when he heard this.
This time, Gaia was going to put the three famous generals on the table for the feudal lords to fight over.
It sounded like the opportunity to subdue a famous general was within reach.
The more this was so, the more uneasy Ouyang Shuo felt.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
How could it be possible to subdue a Divine General without paying a certain price?
More importantly, even if they had to pay a heavy price, Yu Sha would probably return victorious in the end.
There were only three famous generals, but there were fifty feudal lords participating in the battle.
This was only one of the challenges. The bigger challenge was still the mission itself. None of the missions sounded easy to complete.
"The first to arrive at Wolf Storey Mountain?"
That was a feat that had only been accomplished by the genius general, Huo Qubing.
Could a feudal lord with just three thousand cavalrymen achieve this?
"Kill Chanyu?"
Even Great General Wei Qing could not do this.
As for finding Li Guang, it was purely luck. Even Li Guang, who had fought against the Xiong Nu for his entire life, could get lost in the desert.
It was the first time that they had encountered an army of mutants in the desert. To find the right path required a lot of luck.
Hence, no matter which mission it was, it seemed like an impossible one.
This was equivalent to Gaia giving fifty feudal lords a sweet fantasy.
What was worse was that Gaia had suddenly done this before they set off.
This way, no matter if it was the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas] or the [Yan Huang Alliance], they would not be able to work together. Everyone's choice was random.
Unfortunately, this bait was too tempting.
Even Ouyang Shuo, who knew that this was a trap, had no choice but to close his eyes and jump in.
The key now was, which route to take?
