Pei Donglai's words caused the war room to fall into a brief silence. The generals immediately sensed how difficult the upcoming battle would be.
Smoke Genius immediately requested to go to war. "Marquis, I am willing to lead my troops to attack Lion City."
"Tell me your request!" Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal.
Pei Donglai's words weren't unreasonable. Ouyang Shuo didn't believe that a navy with twenty thousand soldiers could quickly take down Lion City. That wasn't confidence, but arrogance.
No matter how one looked at it, Smoke and Fire was not an arrogant person. To him, this might be the battle that would make him famous. He wouldn't be so reckless.
"I have two requests," said Smoke Genius. "First, I hope that the cannons of the fleet will be given to me as much as possible. Second, I hope to receive the help of five hundred Divine Guards. "
"Don't even think about it!" Chen Dameng was displeased before Ouyang Shuo could speak, his eyes bulging like a bull. "The Divine Guards will only listen to the Marquis's orders. Everyone else is out of the question."
Ouyang Shuo ignored Chen Dameng and looked at Smoke Genius. "I can give you both the cannons and the Divine Guards. There's only one condition. What happens if the mission fails? "
"If I fail, I will present my head to you." Smoke Genius made a military pledge.
"Your head isn't worth much."
Chen Dameng muttered to himself. He was becoming more and more at odds with Smoke Genius.
Ouyang Shuo saw determination in Smoke Genius' eyes. This was the only way to create a miracle. He chose to believe in these generals and said in a low voice, "Generals, listen to my order!"
"Yes, General!"
Orders had to be obeyed. Zheng He and the other generals all came to the center of the hall.
"I appoint Zheng He as the commander of the eastern army and Pei Donglai as his deputy. They will lead the first team to attack Feng Shan County. We must restrain the enemy mutant army," Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"Yes, Sir!"
"I appoint Smoke Genius as the commander of the central army and Chen Dameng as his deputy. They will lead the second team and one thousand Divine Guards to attack Lion City. We must win in one strike."
Ouyang Shuo's Divine Martial Guard was twice as much as Smoke and Flame's. Other than the personal guards, all the Divine Martial Guards were assigned to the central army.
"Yes, sir!" Smoke's eyes flashed.
The Marquis' trust was as heavy as Mount Tai.
Even Chen Dameng, who had always been competitive, could only nod his head forcefully at this moment.
Everyone knew that this would be a battle of life and death.
"This Marquis will lead my personal guards to sweep through the villages on the outer islands." Ouyang Shuo's action was not only to wipe out the villages, but his real purpose was to divert a portion of the mutants to reduce the pressure on the army.
It looked easy, but it was actually the most dangerous.
"Marquis!"
Zheng He and the other generals were moved and were about to object.
"Generals, there is no need to speak further. This battle is of great importance to Shanhai City, and we must fight with our backs to the wall. "Ouyang Shuo waved his hand in a straightforward and forceful manner, and he directly interrupted the persuasion of the generals.
"Fight to the death!"
Instantly, an intent to fight to the death spread throughout the war room.
"Go and prepare!" Ouyang Shuo ended the military meeting.
On the 21st of April, Zheng He led the Eastern Army to launch the first attack.
More than forty main warships and more than sixty auxiliary warships suddenly appeared in the waters near Fengshan County in the morning light. They attacked the fishing boats and naval warships on the sea indiscriminately.
Fengshan County was backed by the sea, and more than half of the territory's navy was occupied by the navy.
Under the attack of the Eastern Army, the three thousand navy could not fight back.
In less than an hour, the Eastern Army completely defeated the Fengshan County navy without even using cannons. Except for a few who escaped to the shore, the rest were buried in the sea.
In addition, dozens of fishing boats also suffered.
After defeating the navy, the Eastern Army did not rush to the shore. Instead, they showed off their strength at the port.
When the Lord of Fengshan County received the news, his face instantly turned pale. He immediately ordered the city gates to be closed, and the county entered a level one combat state. As for the villages outside the county, they could no longer care about them.
At the same time, a system announcement sounded in the ears of the Star Nation players.
"System Announcement: The Lord of the China region has initiated a national war. Star Nation has entered national war mode. The Royal City, Lion City, has entered a level two state of alert. Players, please check the situation yourself! "
As soon as the announcement came out, the Lion City players were in an uproar. They never thought that one day, they would cross paths with the Lord of the China region.
This national war came too suddenly.
"How can he say he has no clothes? Isn't that the number one Lord of the China region? "someone asked.
"It's not just the China region. He's the number one Lord of the world. He's the winner of the Triple Crown of the world's number one town, number one county, and number one county, "someone added.
"Hiss!!!" The players who heard it for the first time couldn't help but gasp. The number one in the world was still very intimidating, not to mention the Triple Crown.
"Why is he here and initiating a national war?" someone asked again.
"Who knows!"
"No matter what, we can't just sit here and wait for death."
"The problem is, where is the enemy attacking from? The Star Continent Port?" The players were confused.
At this moment, the Lord of Fengshan County's special envoy also teleported to Lion City. He brought the frontline battle report and said passionately, "Brothers of the Star Nation, foreign enemies are attacking. Please lend us a hand and defend the honor of the country."
"No need to say anything. Count me in!"
"Me too!"
"Let's go and f * ck them up!"
In an instant, there were many responses.
Playing games was about having fun, so there was no need to worry too much, especially for ordinary players. Players who had never experienced the baptism of war in reality couldn't understand the cruelty of war.
At the mention of national honor, the players immediately became hot-blooded and couldn't care about anything else. In less than an hour, more than 7,000 players were gathered and teleported to Fengshan County in a mighty manner.
After that, there were still players who threw themselves into this war.
The special envoy of Fengshan County simply set up a temporary recruitment point next to the teleportation array. Every time 500 people were gathered, they were organized into a team and teleported to Fengshan County as support.
Amidst the clamor, the Temasek Mercenary Group, the pillar of the Star Nation, didn't move. More than 90% of the high-level players in the Star Nation were in the Temasek Mercenary Group. If it didn't move, the Mutant Army wouldn't be able to do anything.
It wasn't that the Temasek Mercenary Group wasn't patriotic, but as a large guild, they were more meticulous and calm than ordinary players. They wouldn't be so hot-blooded that they wouldn't care about anything else.
The enemy was invading, and the national war began.
It wasn't Fengshan County that needed to be protected the most, but the capital, Lion City.
Once the capital fell, the national war would end.
Therefore, as soon as they received the news, the Temasek Mercenary Group sent out a large number of people to attack in all directions. They went to various borders and ports to spy on the news to see if the enemy had troops lying in ambush in other places.
The focus of the investigation was naturally the Star Continent Harbor.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. At this time, the central army led by Smoke and Fire was still lingering on the high seas. In the afternoon, seeing that there were no enemies, the Temasek Mercenary Group finally decided to reinforce Fengshan County.
Because at this time, Fengshan County was already in danger.
With the support of the adventurer players, the lord of Fengshan County immediately became bolder. Coupled with the continuous requests from the players, they finally decided to open the city gates and form a defensive formation at the port to prevent the enemy from landing.
According to the players, they wanted to destroy the enemy at sea.
Of course, there were also players who questioned such a rash decision to go out of the city to fight. "It's better to be more cautious. Isn't it better to fight in the city? Why put yourself in danger? "
"Passive defense is the behavior of cowards. I despise it!"
"Even if we want to go out of the city to fight, we have to wait for more people. Why are we in such a hurry?"
"Wait? Wait for what? If we wait any longer and the enemy lands, it will be too late. "
"This is war, not child's play!" Someone objected.
The battle hadn't even started, but the players were already arguing. They couldn't reach a consensus at all.
The first batch of players who rushed over were lawless people. Why would they listen to the opinions of others? Even the lord of Fengshan County couldn't restrain these players.
"We must not let the enemy set foot on the territory of our Star Nation!" Another player shouted.
This slogan really had a powerful incitement. For a moment, the players' blood surged again. One by one, they shouted that they would take the enemy's head and defend the honor of the country.
In desperation, the lord of Fengshan County could only compromise and order the city gates to be opened. He didn't dare to offend these players now. Whether Fengshan County could be saved or not depended on these "warriors".
As soon as the city gates opened, tens of thousands of players rushed out and went straight to the port.
Ideals were plump, but reality was harsh. If the players relied on the city walls of Fengshan County, they could still hold on for a while. However, once they left the city, it was tantamount to courting death.
The players, who had just finished getting into formation, were greeted with cannon fire. Hundreds of cannonballs exploded in the army formation. Instantly, there were heavy casualties. Broken limbs and broken arms were blown everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
The bloody reality woke the players up instantly.
Some of the timid ones turned around and ran away, disheveled. Those who weren't so timid didn't dare to stay at the port anymore. They fled back to Fengshan County in a panic.
The army formation that had been aggressive just now was immediately defeated. The players who fled in all directions were very disheveled. In this battle, the Star Nation's mutant army could be said to have started strong but ended weak. They were utterly humiliated.
"Haha ~ ~ ~"
The soldiers of the Eastern Army were very pleased at the enemy's disheveled state, and they mocked them wantonly.
Seeing this, Pei Donglai gave the enemy a definite word. "A bunch of mobs!"
Zheng He heard this and shook his head. "Don't underestimate the enemy. The war has just begun, and the enemy doesn't know the power of cannons, so they behaved this way. Once the enemy stabilizes their position, it will be a tough battle. "
"Commander in Chief, you're right!" Pei Donglai was a little ashamed.
