Chapter 1014 Mysterious Messenger

Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo put down the information that Shanhaiwei had just presented, and said with a smile, "As expected, [Yanhuang League] is desperate."

Zhang Liang on the opposite side listened with a calm expression. As the top strategist, it was his job to plan the future for Da Xia, clear the fog for the king, and give advice.

Ouyang Shuo didn't mind either, he was obviously used to Zhang Liang's aloofness, and said indifferently, "Since everything is going according to Mr.'s expectation, let's start our plan on time."

"clear!"

Zhang Liang nodded, a gleam finally flashed in his eyes, obviously this plan was very interesting.

While the outside world was guessing how Da Xia would react, envoys from Honglu Temple had already quietly rushed to Xianyang and Chang'an to launch a secret diplomatic operation.

*************

Annan, Haiyun Mountain.

As a mountain range that separates Annan from south to north, there is only one ancient road from south to north.

The ancient road is located between the mountains and stretches for thousands of miles, with steep cliffs on both sides and no grass growing. Even the most agile monkeys in the mountains cannot climb up.

According to legend, the mountain god of Haiyun Mountain lives on the cliff, but no one has ever climbed to the top of the mountain. The steep mountain with a height of more than 400 meters, not to mention ordinary people, even the masters of the game cannot climb it.

This morning, Annan's 500,000 alien troops entered the mountain without hesitation.

Although according to the art of war, this is a first-class ambush location, but the cliff is too steep, no one would think that anyone can set up an ambush on the top of the mountain.

The vast army marched among the mountains, although the formation was not very orderly, and the equipment was also varied, some were on foot, some were on horseback, and some were riding on all kinds of wild beasts.

But the stretching army is still daunting.

Each of these players looked uplifted, with a sense of lofty ambition to serve the country in the face of national crisis, and an indescribable spirit.

They already knew the news of the fall of Da Nang City, but they were not afraid at all.

"So what about Daxia? Could it be a man-eating tiger? A field army dares to defend Da Nang City. It's really arrogant. Let's see how we deal with them." Someone said.

There are countless adherents.

It is no longer the early stage of the game, the time has entered Gaia for five years, and the average combat power of adventure players has surpassed the level of elite soldiers, equal to that of elite soldiers in hundreds of battles.

The masters among adventure players can even compete with king-level generals.

Five hundred thousand elite soldiers are terrifying to think about. Even if they don't have strong discipline and their combat literacy is not as good, so what, all skills are in the air in front of absolute power.

Therefore, it is understandable that Annan players were indignant when they learned that Daxia's "drunkard's intention is not to drink" and really wanted to start a national war.

1.6 million combat professional players are all their confidence. Even Daxia, the dragon crossing the river, has to obediently coil up when it reaches the border of Annan, and it must not be allowed to be arrogant and domineering in Annan.

"Brothers, speed up and try to spend the night in Da Nang City before dark." The head of the [Falcon Regiment] beat up the guild brothers, as if he had regarded Da Nang City as his pocket.

"Boss, don't worry, our [Falcon Group] must be the first guild to enter Da Nang City."

There is also competition between guilds, and "the first to enter the city" is undoubtedly a great honor, which is worth fighting for by these players.

Driven by this, the marching speed of the army accelerated in vain.

The [Falcon Squad] was far from the only one who coveted this honor. There was a spectacle among the mountains. The half million army was like a giant dragon, speeding through the mountains, and the smoke billowed.

By noon, the 500,000 troops had all entered the mountain road.

This seems to be a signal.

Just as the army was speeding up, almost at the same time, there were deafening explosions from the end of the mountain road, "Boom~~~"

The explosion was so loud that the entire ground was shaking, and countless small stones were like boiling water droplets, constantly churning up and down.

"What's going on, is there an earthquake?"

This is the player's subconscious reaction. Such a prestige can only be described as an earthquake.

"It's really bad luck!"

"Accelerate forward and get out of the mountain path as soon as possible to avoid aftershocks!" The leaders did not dare to neglect, feeling a little bit of something bad, and subconsciously wanted to escape from the mountain path.

Until now, the aftermath of the explosion was still stirring in the mountains, making one's scalp tingle.

When they walked near the exit of the mountain path, they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw that the originally spacious mountain path was completely blocked by a push of rocks, and it became a dead end.

"So, wasn't it an earthquake at all?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not an earthquake. It is clear that the cliffs on both sides were forcibly blasted and collapsed, and then piles of rocks three to four hundred meters high were built.

"It's been tricked!"

At this moment, the mutation happened again. Hundreds of giant haystacks rolled down from the tops of the mountains on both sides. Each haystack was the size of a millstone, and they rolled all the way onto the mountain road, billowing thick smoke.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

The clever man had already reacted, and hurriedly turned around and ran back.

Those who reacted slowly immediately "burned themselves" and made a horrible cry. Even if the player has a whole body of skills, it is not copper skin and iron bones, but it is still a word of death under the flames.

Seeing this, the team was completely chaotic.

People pushed people, people squeezed people, and ran back desperately.

In fact, the haystacks rolling down from the top of the mountain were not enough to pose a fatal threat to this army, and only a very small number of players were burned to death. Black smoke was blowing, and once it was inhaled into the nose, it immediately fell to the ground.

"It's poisonous smoke!"

Annan players really can't imagine that the enemy is so vicious. Chased by the poisonous smoke, the players fled even faster, each one in a panic, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they finally got rid of the thick smoke.

But before they could recover, the player who ran at the front ran back.

"what happened?"

"The mountain road behind is also blocked, and there is also poisonous smoke."

"..."

The faces of all the players suddenly turned pale, and they were bewildered.

"The enemy is too vicious, what should we do now?"

"Everyone, don't panic." The leaders calmed down first, and analyzed: "Although we don't know how the enemy climbed to the top of the mountain, judging from the number of haystacks that rolled down, there are definitely no more than a hundred enemies on the top of the mountain."

This person's guess is that eight to nine is not far from ten.

The Great Xia warriors on the top of the mountain were naturally sent up with mimic aircraft, but because of the urgent time and the carrying capacity of the mimic aircraft was very limited, only more than two hundred people could be sent up.

Their main job is to plant explosives on the cliffs on both sides, and detonate them immediately after the enemy troops enter the hub, blocking the 500,000 troops in the mountain road.

As for how to eliminate these 500,000 people, it is a big problem.

"So?" Someone was puzzled.

"There are few people on the top of the mountain, and the poisonous smoke is naturally not unlimited. It won't kill us 500,000 people." The leader analyzed, "The most important thing now is to maintain order and not to mess up."

Whoever said that, but under the threat of poisonous smoke, how many people can remain calm.

No matter what, the leaders could only make up their minds and set up a cordon on both sides. Members outside the cordon unfortunately became victims of the poisonous smoke. Even if they tried to cross the line, they would be killed by their own people.

This infighting lasted until night before it came to an end.

The originally ambitious Southern Expedition team became sluggish. In just one day, more than 40,000 people were reduced, and a small half of them died at the hands of their own people.

The survivors were not in a good mood either.

They are trapped in the mountain road, which is why they should not respond every day and the earth will not work. He wanted to forcibly break the pile of rocks, but the poisonous smoke filled the air, so he didn't dare to approach it at all.

Desperation spread through the ranks.

It seems that the fate waiting for them can only be trapped in the valley. During the national war, adventurers cannot open the storage bag, and they cannot even log in to the forum.

Even if they are not killed by the enemy, they will starve to death after a long time.

Unlike the regular army, adventure players have no concept of food and grass at all, except for a little dry food that they carry with them, and they only resupply in cities along the way.

Now I am trapped, and the food on my body can only last for two days at most. Two days later, hunger was about to spread throughout the team, and what kind of tragedy would be caused.

The only fortunate thing is that the war dead will appear in the Wangcheng Reincarnation Hall to pass on what happened in the valley, and the survivors can only hope for the rescue of their compatriots.

This night was particularly difficult for the survivors.

There is not only the frustration of dying before leaving school, but also worries about the future and fate, worrying about whether compatriots will come to rescue, worrying about the fate of the country, worrying about wives and children.

This night, no one is destined to sleep.

*************

The royal city of Hanoi.

The news that 500,000 expeditionary troops were trapped in Haiyun Mountain Road was tantamount to a magnitude 10 earthquake, which completely shook the entire player circle and triggered a tsunami.

The players on the expedition are not alone. In Hanoi, they have their families, friends, and their guilds. Someone called for the immediate organization of a rescue force to rescue the compatriots.

"They're just trapped in the mountains, and they just need to dig out the rock piles from the outside."

It's really not that difficult.

The question is, who can guarantee that Da Xia will not have a back move? !

Even the matter of closing the mountain to release poisonous smoke can be done, what else can't Da Xia do? !

They no longer dare to be arrogant.

However, he had to save him, to get rid of the feelings of Robe Ze, the national war has been fought until now, Daxia has not shed a hair, Annan is already injured, and the 500,000 army is a new force.

If it is not rescued, the following things will be even more difficult.

Soon, the Annan players reached a consensus that no matter whether Daxia had a back move or not, they must be rescued, and they must be rescued quickly. Everyone knew that the trapped players would not be able to last for a few days.

The question now is, how many people will be dispatched to rescue?

It's no big deal if there are fewer people going, but if there are too many people going, I'm afraid of any accidents.

Because of this matter, the players in the royal city were making a fuss. Before the Great Xia army reached Hanoi, their internal affairs were already in chaos.
