Chapter 211: The Arrival Of The Expeditionary Force!

That day, Cangxu approached Lu Wu once again to tell him about the bad news.

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General had already pledged his allegiance to Yuanxu. At the same time, they were already preparing to advance toward Hidden Dragon Village and annihilate those who were threats to the players.

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General was originally worried about whether he could still live in the Land of Cangxu if their losses were too great during his fight against the players. However, he had different thoughts now.

Based on the Hidden Dragon Ghost’s opinion, the Land of Cangxu would definitely be unified in the near future with Yuanxu in the lead. So, even if he were to lose some of his powers, it was no longer important.

The Hidden Dragon Zone was initially his territory and this foreign force must be eliminated sooner or later. Thus, he was ready to carry out a full force attack upon the Army of Xian Xu to annihilate or expel them from his territory.

Obviously, this matter could not be delayed.

After discussing with Cangxu, Lu Wu decisively issued a statement to announce that the Beiqi Expeditionary Force would be leaving for battle in three hours.

At that point of time, Yuanxu had not fully gathered the power of Cangxu’s respective forces and was still shifting between the forces. Hence, they had to make a move first in order to remove some of their threats.

When the expedition announcement was made, most of the players started to gather at the Mansion of the Dead, preparing for their next battle.

…

Cangxu, too, began his preparations after knowing that Lu Wu’s support would be arriving soon.

That moment, there were players from the European server everywhere outside of Hidden Dragon Village.

After Cangxu released the announcement, they were already aware that a war was about to commence and they were all ready to fight till the end.

Throughout their confrontation with the Hidden Dragon Ghost General all this time, they had already witnessed the enormous strength of the Ghost General Peak Elite. They were certain that they would experience difficulties in trying to withhold this strong wave of attack with the power they owned.

The players clenched their fists tightly as soon as myriads of figures dressed in bronze armor appeared near the Hidden Dragon Marsh.

If they were to lose this battle, they would lose their foothold in the Land of Cangxu as well.

They would only be able to drift around after losing their resurrection point along with their safe zone. It would be impossible for them to rise from the ashes and reconstruct the huge force they once had.

Facing the heavy enemy infantry, the players expressed their perseverance and were ready to fight till the end.

They appeared under-equipped in comparison to the finely-equipped Hidden Dragon Army. There were very few red and purple-suited players on their side, even the knights’ mounts were omnifarious.

Besides the few who managed to catch marsh crocodiles and marsh deers as their mounts, low-leveled knights would not even own a mount to ride on. As for the rest of the mid-leveled knights, they were all just awkwardly riding on little boars which they caught by the marsh borders. They looked like complete rubbish.

But of course, there were also the professional players.

Reinhardt, for instance, was wearing Level 40 purple armor while riding on an Earth Dragon Mount as he stood at the frontline of the army of players, showing off his stance like a commander.

Also, take Li Xing, Jason, and the rest, for example… all of them had the dazzling purple stream of light on them.

Basically, all the members of the Zero Guild owned captivating weapons and equipment. They had Jason, a very wealthy patron who would sponsor them. Thus, the overall equipment of the guild was far more advanced thanks to their great ability of spending cash in-game.

Besides that, the Zero Guild was also the pillar of strength for the forthcoming war.

At that moment, the Hidden Dragon Army that appeared at the outskirts of the marsh suddenly separated into two halves. A giant upright lizard man with a height of about seven feet walked out gradually from the inside with a wooden staff in his hands. He gazed at the players’ camp with a pair of emotionless eyes.

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General did not understand how this wave of forces appeared in his territory.

He could no longer endure the constant and insane assaults of the players.

He had a negotiation with the leader of the forces before, but no matter how intimidating or tempting he tried to be, they were all of no use. Not only did they refuse to give in, they even threatened to take down the entire Hidden Dragon Zone.

The several subsequent conflicts that happened between them gave Hidden Dragon a headache as well.

He also felt that the new forces could reproduce swiftly. They seemed just like a small group of people but they just could not be annihilated nor chased away.

Yuanxu’s appearance gave him the courage to wipe off those who claimed that they were part of the Army of Xianxu while being ignorant of the consequences.

“I’ll give you one last chance… get out of Hidden Dragon and retain your forces!”

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General looked at the players from afar and spoke calmly.

Once he was done speaking, the pearl at the tip of his sophora staff lit up. His voice was amplified around the surroundings, allowing the players to hear him loud and clear.

“I’ll give you a chance as well… withdraw your troops and give us more time to develop our forces!” Li Xing, the leader of the army, chuckled as he replied.

“That’s right. You are trying to attack us before we fully develop our force, that is not how it is supposed to work at all. Don’t you know the rule of letting the players develop their forces in a stable condition and not push them to their limits as the first boss of the newbie village?” Jason, who was standing by the side, raised his gun and pointed it at the Hidden Dragon Ghost General with a provocative expression.

Even though the Hidden Dragon could not understand what the players were trying to say but judging from their actions, it seemed like they were underestimating and challenging him.

“Woo!” the Hidden Dragon Ghost General roared in anger. A gust of black wind was then aimed toward them as he waved his magic staff forward.

A strong wind blew as the players upfront lost their balance and fell onto the floor one after another.

At that very moment, the Hidden Dragon Army began to advance along the black wind. The war was about to commence.

“Charge! Victory to the Army of Xian Xu!” since they were in for the fight, Li Xing did not hold back as he bellowed before in the zone channel.

The Boar Knights at the frontline charged forward that instant to begin the assault.

The situation was not in the players’ favor because of the disturbance of the black wind. The Hidden Dragon Army on the other hand, were advancing in the same direction as the wind. The players’ first wave of attack was easily diminished.

The situation could only be described as total chaos when both parties collided into one another.

The Boar Knights’ faction at the first line of defense was scattered. The situation was total havoc.

The European server was developing rather quickly at this point. However, they could not compare themselves to the experienced Beiqi players. It was still just their first time experiencing an actual battle.

They were experiencing maladjustments both mentally and physically.

The war zone turned into a mess in an instant. The battle had no formations as the players were simply killing any enemy which appeared before their eyes and boars were just running all over the place aimlessly.

However, even though there was a huge difference in strength, the players did not lose their momentum. Every one of them put on a ferocious expression as if they were not afraid of death. This actually put the Hidden Dragon Army who had not been in battle for quite some time at a loss.

However, the disadvantages of the players in battle were still rather apparent.

Li Xing had no choice but to command each guild leader through the zone channel to lead their own guild to attack in a small group formation as they did not know how to attack in tactical formation as a big group.

His strategy was indeed effective. The attack was not as scattered as before with the utilization of small group formations, leaving a gap for a joint counterattack.

However, the situation was still not in their favor. The first few lines of defense were breached one after another. No matter how ferocious their attack was, they still could not impede the Hidden Dragon Army from moving forward.

Cangxu’s facial expression went pale and he mentally sighed as he was observing the military disaster in the dark. Why didn’t I just suffocate the Hidden Dragon to death back then!?

As time passed and the war continued, the situation was becoming worse and worse.

Even though they had millions of players, their war experience was really insufficient.

It was impossible to compare with the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Army in terms of individual strength. Besides that, the three hours of recharge for resurrection was too long, they could not bring out the advantage of resurrection to the fullest in the battle.

The moment defeat took its shape, it was already out of control. The European server’s troop was a mess compared to the more organized and neat formation of the Hidden Dragon Army.

Suddenly, a blue vortex emerged in the sky followed by an enormous light beam which landed on one side of the war zone just as Li Xing and the others were struggling in the battle. They were trying to kill as many enemies as they could even if they were to lose the fight so they would have more time to prepare for their counterattack in the future.

The European server players and Hidden Dragon Ghost General watched the scene in shock as countless figures appeared from the blue light along with noises heard.

“Ahahaha! Here we come! I’m going to kill 100 today, don’t snatch my targets!”

“Wow, prestige, those are all prestige points in waiting. Please just stop and stand aside, brothers of the European server. Let us handle this difficult battle instead. Retreat for now. Battles are small matters but getting hurt is definitely a big matter!”

“Brothers of the Beiqi Army, happy first expedition. Let us teach this Ghost General a lesson and let him know what the Fourth Disaster is all about!”

“Wow! I hope that I will be able to reach a major rank after this battle. I’m excited!”

“Don’t squeeze, let me be in the front line, you bastards!”

“Idiotic mages of the Guardian Angel, you lots are Mages, why are you all standing at the front? Don’t you have some self-awareness, all of you don’t have the looks of proper mages at all! Fuck, don’t squeeze, let me go through!”

“Why don’t you look at yourself, you’re just an assassin, why do you want to be at the front, get lost!”

“This is too much, you Assassins and Mages are all squeezing to the front. Where are your manners? Do you even have the slightest respect toward us, the warriors?”

“Everyone, please keep quiet. This is our first expedition, we need to show the grace of the Beiqi Army. So, please don’t crowd around here, let me go through first!”

“Get lost!”

…

A big group of the Beiqi Army who surrounded the mountains appeared on one side of the war zone as the blue beam of light dispersed.

At that moment, a game notification appeared in the European server players’ minds:

[In this battle, the Beiqi Expeditionary Force has come and will provide you with support!]

After hearing the announcement, the European server players were shocked. They knew that it was their chance to perform a counterattack.

“Brothers of Beiqi, thank you so much for coming, now the situation doesn’t seem so bad!”

“Thank you so much! At least now the strengths of both parties are somewhat balanced and we have a chance to fight back!”

“Also, in addition to our resurrections, it will definitely give us an advantage at the end of this war. We’re saved! Victory is ours!”

…

The players of the Beiqi Expeditionary Force were speechless when they heard the words of the other players.

They should be aware that it was the Beiqi Army who took down half of Beiqi.

The European server players actually thought that the strengths of both parties were balanced with them around. The Beiqi players simply could not bear their underestimating statements.

Thinking back on how they were once able to fight against Cha Na, the Ghost General for one night and were finally able to behead him by the Liuli Coast. His head was even hung up on the city gates as a war trophy.

As of now, even though the Beiqi Army forces could not promise a steady win against someone of the Ghost King Level, at least they still had the ability to fight against them.

Although everyone knew that it was all because the European server players did not understand their complete strength. However, their words still made the Beiqi players feel very unhappy.

It felt like they were underestimating them.

Hence, the original players started their act of pretence!
