The sun was setting again, and the noisy battlefield was quiet again.
Courage, tragedy, and passion couldn't really decide the outcome of a war. What decided the outcome of a war was the difference in strength between the two sides, as well as the level of techniques and weapons.
No matter which aspect, the mutant army was completely defeated.
The curved formation of the Eastern Army was a huge trap. It was as if the Inhuman army had crawled into a pocket, withstanding the attacks from all directions.
In such a perfect formation, the cannons, muskets, and other hot weapons unleashed their greatest power. How could the Inhuman Army not be defeated when they were using cold weapons against firearms?!
In less than two hours, the outcome of the battle was decided.
The results of the Eastern Army exceeded everyone's expectations. After this battle, the mutant army of the Star Nation was completely destroyed. In the end, less than ten thousand people escaped Fengshan County through the teleportation formation.
As for the captives tied to the wooden stakes, they naturally couldn't escape. The Star Nation players were hot-blooded, but they were too impulsive and suffered a double loss.
It was no wonder that Chen Guang was so heartbroken.
After the battle, the lively Fengshan County became an empty city. Seeing this, Zheng He ordered the army to attack Fengshan County. They took over Fengshan County effortlessly.
In just one day, Fengshan County officially fell.
The fall of Fengshan County meant that the national war had entered a full-scale war.
Because the Eastern Army had been fighting behind the fortifications, other than losing some ammunition and supplies, the number of casualties didn't exceed a thousand. It was a miracle.
This was a great piece of news for the attack on Lion City.
…
Lion City, Royal Palace.
The moment Fengshan County fell, the forty thousand imperial guards stationed in the Royal Palace finally appeared. They were stationed at the major city gates and walls, taking over the defense of Lion City.
The imperial guards were wearing fine armor, holding swords, and shields. Every single one of them was of high quality.
It could be imagined that this was a truly elite division.
At the same time, the snow white lion in the depths of the Royal Palace was completely awakened.
The entire Lion City was completely awakened.
…
The crushing defeat of the third battle caused a huge uproar in the Star Nation.
Fear, uneasiness, and confusion were brewing in the players' hearts. Everyone was asking, "What should we do? What should the fate of the Star Nation do? "
No one could answer this question.
The appearance of the Imperial Guards only brought a glimmer of hope to the Star Nation players. Three battles and three defeats. This was a very serious setback for the players. The enemy's powerful image had already taken root.
Could forty thousand Imperial Guards defend Lion City? The players expressed their doubts!
Pessimism spread hopelessly in the city.
At that time, Chen Guang, who had fled back to Lion City, stood out bravely and took the initiative to take responsibility. He firmly said, "Brothers and sisters of the Star Nation, we're not at a dead end yet."
"Leader, what should we do?"
A large group of players subconsciously gathered around Chen Guang with fear on their faces, hoping for an answer.
Chen Guang found a high platform and jumped up to continue his speech, "Fengshan County's defeat wasn't because we weren't strong enough, nor was it because our soldiers weren't brave enough. We have suffered setbacks one after another purely because the enemy is too cunning. They use despicable methods to lure us out of the city to fight. "
Hearing this, some of the players' faces flashed with shame. At this moment, they finally understood Chen Guang's efforts and the consequences of their impulsiveness.
Even so, Chen Guang didn't blame them. Instead, he blamed the enemy's despicable methods. Such a benevolent leader was truly worthy of their loyalty.
"As long as we are united and hold our ground, Lion City will never fall." Chen Guang passionately said, "Brothers and sisters, please follow me and allow me to lead you to victory."
"Leader, please give the order. We pledge our lives to follow you!" Some soldiers were so emotional that their eyes were moist.
"We pledge our lives to follow you!"
Regardless of whether they were young, middle-aged, old, women, or children, all the players in the square shouted in unison, swearing their loyalty to their leader. Their eyes were filled with tears as they saw the dawn of victory.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Lion City heated up.
The dispirited morale instantly soared.
One had to admit that Chen Guang was indeed a natural leader. In his previous life, someone commented on Chen Guang: His calm mind, outstanding speaking skills, and tactful methods made this Star Nation's leader shine brightly.
In his previous life, the Star Nation relied on its strategic position to do well even in the game. Because of this, Chen Guang could be considered an influential figure in the world.
It was a pity that he was born at the wrong time. Chen Guang's encounter with Ouyang Shuo was destined to be a tragedy.
…
After appeasing the ordinary players, Chen Guang gathered the core members for a discussion.
At this moment, Chen Guang's expression suddenly turned grave as he calmly said, "We can't bet the fate of the country on the Imperial Guards." This showed that he wasn't as confident as he was in his speech.
"Then what should we do?"
"Ask for help. Ask for help from the ASEAN countries," said Chen Guang.
"…"
Everyone fell into silence.
"Now isn't the time to care about face. If we lose the war, we'll lose everything. " Chen Guang was the same as Ouyang Shuo. He was a utilitarian and would do anything to protect Star Nation.
"That's the only way!"
Everyone let out a long sigh. In the end, they still walked on this path of no return.
Star Nation was an island country surrounded by the sea. The closest country to Star Nation was Johor in the north. The two countries were separated by the narrow Strait of Johor.
Only Johor could send reinforcements in time. The other countries were beyond their reach.
Even Johor had to verify the request for help when it received it. After all, a war between countries was an unfamiliar term to the ASEAN countries.
After the verification, they had to discuss how to send troops and how many troops to send. With the delays on the road, it would take at least two days for reinforcements to arrive in Los Leones.
Chen Guang concluded, "Therefore, we have to defend for two days."
"Defend Los Leones to the death!"
Everyone swore together that Star Nation had no way out.
Strait of Johor, on Dragon Head.
The moment Phoenix County fell, Ouyang Shuo received the system notification. A smile flashed across his lips. Zheng He did not disappoint him. The outcome was even better than he expected.
In just this battle, Ouyang Shuo had obtained nearly a hundred thousand contribution points. How crazy was that!? It was from the amount of contribution points that Ouyang Shuo could deduce the outcome of the Eastern Army's battle.
Star Nation's combat-class players were nearly wiped out!
It was to prevent them from nurturing lawless war butchers in the war. According to Gaia's rules, only combat-class players could obtain contribution points from killing enemy players during the war.
Life profession players would not be counted in the war contribution points.
This rule was also effective for the old, weak, women, and children.
Therefore, it was impossible for the lords to kill civilians to earn large amounts of contribution points.
Even for combat-class players, only the first kill would be counted. After reincarnating, even if a newbie was killed again, the contribution points would not be counted again.
This rule was to prevent the lords from blocking players at the entrance of the Reincarnation Hall and repeatedly slaughtering them. Gaia guided wars, but it did not advocate senseless slaughter because it was a violation of human nature.
…
In the study, Ouyang Shuo was extremely excited. He picked up a pen and began issuing military orders.
Due to the bountiful harvest of the Eastern Army, the entire battle plan needed to be adjusted.
According to the plan, Ouyang Shuo was supposed to lead his personal guards to sweep the peripheral islands. Under the current situation, it was meaningless to sweep the peripheral islands.
If he was right, the players on the peripheral islands had already gathered in Los Leones.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo would personally rush to Los Leones the next morning. Of course, the central army was still under the command of Fireworks Demon. Ouyang Shuo did not intend to interfere.
The central army would launch an attack on Los Leones the next morning. They would first sweep the periphery of Los Leones. The Eastern Army rested for a night and would immediately set off to meet up with the central army at Star Island Harbor.
The final battle would be tomorrow!
April 22nd, the second day of the national war.
The sky was just beginning to brighten. The central army led by Fireworks Demon had already arrived at Star Island Harbor.
The flames of war were ignited once again!
Compared to the Eastern Army, the central army's mission was even more arduous. They needed to attack Los Leones, and they only had two days at most. Attacking a Monarch City with just twenty thousand sailors? It was hard to believe.
It was just that they did not know what tricks Fireworks Demon had prepared.
Compared to Fengshan County, Los Leones was not only grander, but its walls were also taller. Another special feature was that the city was connected to Star Island Harbor by intersecting waterways.
There were three waterways in Los Leones that were connected to Star Island Harbor. Because the game map was ten times larger, each waterway was more than fifty meters wide. The widest one was even more than two hundred meters wide.
In his previous life, countless merchant ships had entered Los Leones through the waterways, contributing to the prosperity of Los Leones.
These waterways were the opportunity that Fireworks Demon had seized.
Just like the battle in Fengshan County, the key to the central army's victory was how to maximize the use of firearms, especially cannons. It would be a waste if they were only used to blast open the city gates.
Zheng He's strategy was to set up cannons outside the city to lure the enemy into a trap. The central army led by Fireworks Demon obviously could not do the same.
No matter how hot-blooded the Interstellar players were, they would not fall at the same place four times. Moreover, the main force defending the city this time was the Royal Guards. Their duty was to protect Los Leones, so they could not leave the city to fight.
The central army's arrival at Star Island Harbor made Chen Guang and the others on the city walls serious.
Everyone knew that the fleet in Fengshan County, no matter how powerful, couldn't move from Fengshan County to Star Island Harbor overnight. The only explanation was that it was a hidden force of the enemy.
Chen Guang's heart sank.
