Seeing that Di Chen couldn't get over it, Peerless Elegance changed the topic. "What are you going to do about Swordsman City?"
Following the defeat of the Great Li allied forces, Yan Huang Alliance's plan to trap the Great Xia Longxiang Army in Shu officially failed. The situation in Swordsman City became tense.
At this time, Di Chen had to make a clear stance, otherwise Feng Qingyang would curse again.
"What do you think?" Di Chen didn't answer directly.
"In my opinion, we still need to support them."
"Reason?"
"From the ambush outside Yongren City, Great Xia's purpose in provoking this war may not only be Swordsman City. I'm afraid they have other intentions." Speaking of this, Peerless Elegance suddenly said, "I heard that the old fox plans to conduct a second ocean voyage in October."
Di Chen's eyes narrowed. "You mean to say that this war is actually a trap set by the old fox to clear the obstacles for the ocean voyage?"
"Most likely so. Great Xia has not been established for long, and there are still many hidden dangers around. With the old fox's cautiousness, I'm afraid he won't be able to set sail with peace of mind if he doesn't eliminate these hidden dangers, "Peerless Elegance analyzed.
In terms of understanding of Ouyang Shuo, Peerless Elegance was even better than Di Chen.
Di Chen's eyes twitched.
The territories of the four clans in Dali Prefecture were originally a hidden danger for Great Xia. Unexpectedly, their brilliant plan fell into the old fox's trap and allowed Great Xia to clear Dali Prefecture.
"Since you concluded that Great Xia has other intentions, then we should not move. Why do we need to support Swordsman City?" Di Chen didn't understand.
"Great Xia's other goals are uncertain, but Swordsman City is something that Great Xia must eradicate. If we don't reinforce Swordsman City and allow Great Xia to take it down easily, Great Xia will be able to handle the situation with ease and can easily realize their other strategic intentions. Therefore, we must attack Great Xia in Swordsman City, "Peerless Elegance said resolutely.
What a terrifying woman. She had accurately guessed Ouyang Shuo's thoughts.
"I understand!"
Di Chen nodded, agreeing with Peerless Elegance's judgment.
In the next few days, the war that affected the entire wilderness suddenly entered the fast lane. Shocking news quickly spread through all the major media outlets.
First, the Great Xia's defeat at Yongren City shocked the outside world. The China players were once again impressed by Great Xia's strategy.
"The longest road in the world is Great Xia's strategy!" someone lamented.
Following which, there was news that Great Xia decisively attacked Dali Prefecture and destroyed Yuncheng in one fell swoop, turning Dali into a barren land once again. The cruelty of his methods caused the surrounding territories of Great Xia to tremble in fear.
No one could figure out why Great Xia was so resolute. This time, Great Xia had completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Great Li Imperial Court, which made the Great Li Imperial Court in a difficult situation.
There was even news that Great Xia had issued a recruitment notice in Dali, brazenly trying to poach players from the Supreme Court. The recruitment targets were not only limited to NPCs, but also players living in Dali.
Anyone with foresight could foresee that the future of the Great Li Imperial Court would be worse than the current Great Sui. Therefore, if there was a chance, it would be better to escape from the abyss of misery as soon as possible.
In a short period of time, countless people applied to immigrate to Great Xia.
Some people said that Great Xia was taking drastic measures to break the foundation of the Dali imperial court.
Unfortunately, the imperial court of Dali could do nothing about it. The temporary imperial court could not force the people in the city to stay or leave when there was no emperor.
Before the war was over, Great Xia had dug out its first pot of gold.
In addition to the 500,000 people in Cloud City, Great Xia could poach at least a million people from Dali Royal City. This was the greatest wealth for Great Xia.
After Cloud City was destroyed by Great Xia, there was news that Great Xia's Dragon Stallion Army commander, Bai Qi, had finally led his troops into Shu, opening the prelude to the decisive battle between Great Xia and Swordsman City.
At the same time, Di Chen and the others publicly declared that they would never allow Great Xia to attack Swordsman City.
It could be said to be tit-for-tat.
For a moment, the focus of the wilderness shifted from Yongren City to Swordsman City.
Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of an unprecedented war. At this moment, two seemingly inconspicuous events happened in the wilderness, but they really affected the situation in the wilderness.
One happened in Dali, and the other in Rosy Cloud City.
… …
On the 11th of October, Xiao Nianying led his troops back to Satellite City of Dali.
As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Nianying was keenly aware that the players in the city looked at them with playful eyes. Some were ridiculing, some were gloating, and some were looking forward to watching a good show.
This made Xiao Nianying, who was very proud, very embarrassed, and a trace of unease arose in his heart.
"What's going on?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianying unconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards the City Lord Residence.
What Xiao Nianying did not know was that back when the Dali allied army was defeated in Yongren City, a huge storm had already swept towards the Xiao Alliance, the Xiao family, and Xiao Nianying.
The moment Xiao Nianying returned, the storm was about to sweep up.
When the allied forces were defeated in Yongren City, the Reincarnation Hall in Satellite City of Dali emitted bursts of dim light. Members of the Xiao Alliance were reincarnating there one after another, and the Reincarnation Hall was soon filled to the brim.
Logically speaking, in the latter half of Gaia's fourth year, players were increasingly cherishing their lives, and the chances of reincarnation were greatly reduced. As a result, the Reincarnation Hall became deserted, and there was rarely such a "lively" scene.
The Dali players naturally understood what had happened after asking around.
The news that the Dali allied army was attacked in Yongren City and the entire army was defeated gradually spread in the city.
With this, the Dali players were in an uproar. As the overlord of Dali, the Xiao Alliance's every move affected the nerves of the Dali players.
In the following days, there was an endless stream of Xiao Alliance players reincarnating.
The Dali players were even more alarmed at the decisive battle at the border on the 9th of October. On that day alone, more than twenty thousand Xiao Alliance members reincarnated in the Reincarnation Hall, setting an all-time record.
Some people even calculated that less than a tenth of the hundred thousand Xiao Alliance troops that were sent out for the expedition had survived.
Even if [Xiao Alliance] was a super guild, it was just a dark horse that suddenly rose up during the Guardian Guild Qualification Battle. Its foundation couldn't be compared to [Snow Rose] and other veteran guilds.
Including the branch members, the Xiao Alliance had close to six hundred thousand players. About half of them had merged with other small and medium-sized guilds after the guardian guild qualification contest ended.
Of the six hundred thousand members, combat professional players made up two-thirds, which was about four hundred thousand. These players were organized into hundred-man teams, thousand-man teams, and elite teams.
The hundred thousand elites that were sent out for the expedition had a combat strength equivalent to half of the entire Xiao Alliance.
Now, there were only ten thousand elites left out of the hundred thousand. It was equivalent to halving the Xiao Alliance's overall combat strength. The position of Dali's overlord guild was immediately in jeopardy.
It was inevitable that the other animals in the forest coveted the tiger in its weakened state.
In Dali City, there were no less than five large guilds with more than two hundred thousand members. There were even two guilds with more than three hundred thousand members. They were not far from the Xiao Alliance.
The Xiao Alliance had lost nearly a hundred thousand elites. It was inevitable that these guilds would have other thoughts. The qualification to guard a satellite city was coveted.
Just yesterday, two large guilds in Dali had announced a merger. The newly formed guild was called the Purple Moon Alliance. The alliance master was Purple Emperor, while the deputy alliance master was Moon Empress. It had a total of five hundred thousand members, comparable to the Xiao Alliance.
Of course, this was only the strength on paper.
If they were to really compare, the Purple Moon Alliance was still slightly inferior to the Xiao Alliance. It lacked in heritage.
However, the Xiao Alliance had lost nearly a hundred thousand elite members. Its strength was incomparable to the Purple Moon Alliance. The overlord of Dali City's guild circle was about to change hands. All that was lacking was an opportunity.
According to Gaia's setting for the guardian guild qualification, the guardian guild had to accept a challenge from other guilds at the beginning of every year. If they defended, they would continue to have the qualification. If they failed, they would naturally have to change hands.
It was already October. In another two months, it would be Gaia's fifth year. Without a doubt, the Purple Moon Alliance's reorganization was aimed at the position of supremacy in Dali City.
When that time came, would the Xiao Alliance, which had suffered heavy casualties, still be a match for the Purple Moon Alliance? The Dali players seemed to have a premonition that a new overlord was about to be born.
This was also why the Dali players had a teasing look in their eyes when they saw Xiao Nianying and company. Many of those players were members of the Purple Moon Alliance.
These members were becoming more and more arrogant in Dali's satellite city. It was as though they considered themselves the new masters.
… …
Xiao Nianying and company returned to the City Lord Manor, the new headquarters of the Xiao Alliance.
The atmosphere at the headquarters was equally heavy, so heavy that it was suffocating.
The uneasiness in Xiao Nianying's heart intensified. Just as he sat down, before he could rest, he was stopped by his confidant, "Young Master, the family head invites you over."
In name, Xiao Nianying was the leader of the Xiao Alliance, the person in charge of the Xiao Alliance. But in fact, the leader of the Xiao Alliance was the entire Xiao family. Xiao Nianying was just the spokesperson that the family pushed to the forefront.
The Xiao family's family head was the true person in charge of the Xiao Alliance.
City Lord Manor, main hall.
"Father!"
Xiao Nianying saluted the family head, that is, his father Xiao Yunyi, his heart was quite perturbed.
Father Xiao looked at his son with a complicated expression. Seeing that the armor on his body was tattered and he looked tired, it was obvious that he had suffered a lot in this expedition. He could no longer reprimand him.
In the end, this expedition was the family's decision, and Xiao Nianying was just an executor.
The commander of the whole war was Wang Meng, and he had nothing to do with Xiao Nianying. This big defeat really couldn't be blamed on Xiao Nianying.
"But other people don't think so!" Xiao Yunyi sighed in his heart.
Although Xiao Nianying cared about his face, he was also a sharp person. He said, "Father, did something happen?"
Xiao Yunyi nodded and briefly explained the matter of the Purple Moon Alliance.
"This group of damn guys!"
Xiao Nianying's expression was extremely ugly. He didn't expect that as soon as the Xiao Alliance showed its fatigue, a challenger would appear.
"This is not the worst." Xiao Yunyi's expression was also not relaxed. After a pause, he said with difficulty, "Strongholds are always broken from the inside. There's a traitor in the guild!"
