Chapter 1172: Gambling (Two in One)
When Ouyang Shuo threw out the reorganization plan, Bloody Romance and the others still couldn't accept it.
"It's not urgent, you go back and think about it!" Ouyang Shuo didn't force it. As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet. If he really wants to subdue these guild elites, he has to show enough patience.
"We'll seriously consider it."
After Bloody Romance and the others expressed their opinions one by one, they took their leave and left.
…………
On the 23rd, Summer Palace, Hall of Martial Arts.
Ouyang Shuo held an emergency military meeting to discuss countermeasures against the national war.
After everyone arrived, Ouyang Shuo took the lead and said, "Right now, the alien's attitude is unclear. We must prepare for the worst in this national war. It is very likely that we will have one against three."
Hearing this, the general under the hall frowned.
"So we don't set specific goals this time, and focus on defense." According to the current situation, the National War Month is by no means a good opportunity for Great Xia to expand. If it really doesn't work, Ouyang Shuo can compromise.
A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Bai Qi and the others.
On the contrary, Du Ruhui agreed very much, nodded and said: "The imperial court has just finished four tough battles, the army has not yet fully recovered, the replenishment of the logistics gap is still in progress, and the reorganization of the newly added troops is far from being completed. Great war, lest the army be overloaded."
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly.
After setting the general tone, we began to discuss specific combat matters.
The Romanov Dynasty in the north is guarded by the Northern Border Army. If the Romanov Dynasty really wants to rush thousands of miles to Daxia at any cost, the Jin Dynasty will naturally help the Northern Border Army.
The Java State in the south is monitored by the Southern Border Army and the Heluo Army in the Southwest Theater.
The Maurya Dynasty in the west was guarded by the Longxiang Army, the Hanoi Army, and the Guards. On the basis of defense, depending on the specific combat situation, it was flexibly decided whether to invade the Tianzhu District.
After the military discussion, the ministries began to act.
A few days ago, the Imperial Guards had been sent directly from Somali province to Hetao province, preparing for battle in the Hetao area. The Longxiang Army and the Hanoi Army have not yet withdrawn, and they are ready to join the battle at any time.
…………
Shanhai City, the headquarters of [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps].
When Ouyang Shuo was holding a military meeting, Bloody Romance was also discussing with the guild's senior management, the inclusion proposal proposed by Ouyang Shuo yesterday.
As soon as Bloody Romance finished speaking, it caused bursts of dissatisfaction.
"Big Xia is strong, but this time he is too arrogant. He actually wants to recruit us? It's a joke." Adventurers are generally unrestrained and unwilling to be restrained, let alone the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group].
They have their own pride.
"What did you say that we were tempered in the army? Didn't you just want to say that our adventurers are a mess on the battlefield, unorganized and disciplined? That's just for general guilds. I don't believe that our elite group will be more Not in the Daxia regular army." It was the leader of a certain elite regiment who spoke.
"that is!"
Bloody Romance's heart moved, "Why don't you compare with them?" He also thought that the elite regiment was no worse than the regular army, and being "scorned" by Ouyang Shuo also made Bloody Romantic very unhappy.
"It must be compared!"
"Compare! Let them see and see, our elite group is amazing."
Seeing this, Bloody Romantic slapped the table and said with pride, "Then it's settled, I'll go and tell Ouyang Shuo to choose a time for a duel between the elite group and the regular army."
"Okay, good job, leader!"
That's how things settled down.
…………
On the 24th, the Summer Palace.
In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo looked at Bloody Romantic in surprise, "You mean, you want to send an elite group to fight against the regular army of Great Xia?"
"That's right." Bloody Romance was full of fighting spirit, "If we win, then please don't mention the matter of inclusion." Bloody Romance is very satisfied to be able to refuse the inclusion in this way.
After all, Ouyang Shuo is also the King of Xia, so he still needs to give enough face.
Ouyang Shuo was expressionless on the surface, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He realized that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to subdue the guild.
"What if the Great Xia Army wins?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"If we lose, then there is nothing to say, voluntarily accept the reorganization."
Ouyang Shuo was still worried, "Maybe you have become the master of the guild?"
Bloody Romance understood what Ouyang Shuo meant, nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is a collective decision made by [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], and we will never go back on our word!"
"it is good!"
Ouyang Shuo stood up, came to Bloody Romance, and stretched out his right hand.
Bloody Romance froze for a moment, then held it.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "That's it. The time is set on the 28th. I won't send out the Shenwu Guards, but I will fight with a battalion of the City Guards."
"Row!"
Bloody Romance was once again overwhelmed by Ouyang Shuo's mind.
If Daxia sent out Shenwuwei, [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] would have no chance of victory, Bloody Romance just didn't know how to talk about this matter, never thought that Ouyang Shuo would directly rule it out, obviously he didn't want to take advantage.
Even Ouyang Shuo was not planning to dispatch the ace force, the Guards, but the City Guards in the middle.
Such a majestic demeanor is indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
In return, Bloody Romance will never send out the strongest elite group in the guild, [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], but it also has its own pride.
"The venue is the arena or the school ground?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
After the update, Gaia did not cancel the arena function. Players compete in the arena to hone their skills. Even if they die, they can be revived without any damage. There is no penalty.
If the city guards go to the arena, they still cannot be revived.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo still prefers the arena mode. If [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] suffers heavy casualties, I'm afraid they will have resentment towards Da Xia, which will go against Ouyang Shuo's original intention.
I never thought that Bloody Romance is extremely stubborn, and I don't want to take advantage of this, so I said with a smile: "Since it's a duel, then we can't take chances, we must show 100% courage, and choose the school field."
Ouyang Shuo took a deep look at Bloody Romance, and after a long time, he said, "Let's go to the Wangcheng School!"
"Row!"
Bloody Romance was very satisfied, he knew that the Wangcheng school grounds were the imperial guards school grounds, the most complete school grounds in Da Xia, and it was rare for Ouyang Shuo to give such high-standard treatment.
…………
The guild circle seems to be very large, but it can't hide any news.
Besides, more than half of the headquarters of the guilds who settled in Daxia are concentrated on Quelong Street, so there is no secret at all. In less than half a day, the news that [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] was going to challenge the regular army of Great Xia spread.
Some watched the excitement, and some paid special attention.
On the street, in taverns, and at the guild headquarters, all kinds of discussions can be seen everywhere. This duel has become a hot topic all at once. If you don't chat, you will lose touch with the team.
"Who do you think will win?"
This is what players are most concerned about.
For this reason, dozens of underground casinos have all opened for business. Judging from the handicap, the majority of those who are optimistic about the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] are in the majority. Players may not know the strength of the Great Xia City Guards, but they have a deep understanding of the terror of the elite group.
For adventure players, being able to join the elite group is the greatest honor.
What's more, it is the elite group of the famous [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group]. In terms of warlikeness, not to mention the Huaxia District, even if you look at the whole world, no one can compare to the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group].
Based on this judgment, players are naturally more optimistic about the elite group.
The players couldn't understand why Ouyang Shuo agreed to such a duel. If he lost, wouldn't it be a blow to morale? It is not a good thing for the upcoming national war.
The leader of the guild is happy to see the success.
With the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] charging forward to share the pressure, they can hide behind and observe the situation silently. If the Elite Group wins, then they also have a reason to refuse.
If you lose...
"It's impossible to lose, Ouyang Shuo is too confident this time!" A guild leader shook his head.
Some people have already regarded this battle as a battle of honor for adventurers. They must pass this battle to defend the glory of adventurers and prove that they are not at the mercy of others.
"Want to recruit us into the army? Just dream!"
…………
Summer Palace, Promise Hall.
In the warm afternoon, in the main hall, Yuer and Luoer, who had just turned one year old, were chasing and fighting in the hall with their little feet that were not very stable. The two little guys seemed to have become a pair of little devil kings in the world, and turned the entire Wuji Temple upside down. They were curious about everything they saw, and they wanted to touch it and play with it.
When the interest came, it fell or torn with a "click".
Ouyang Shuo sat by the side, looking at this pair of little guys, he also had a headache. Children of this age are at the time when their curiosity is at its peak, but they also have super energy, and they can't stop playing.
"It's really getting skinny!" Ouyang Shuo muttered.
Seeing this, Song Jia complained, "It's not that you dote on them too much and don't care about them. If this continues, I think they can blow up the palace."
Ouyang Shuo has always respected children's nature, he didn't want their childhood to be too rigid, and he didn't want to learn from the ancient royal family, what kind of cold royal education, he didn't look like a strict father at all.
The idea of "lord and minister, father and son" doesn't work in Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo smiled at his wife, but said nothing.
When Song Jia saw her, she could only helplessly shake her head. She had said this more than once, and Ouyang Shuo was always like this. He neither refuted nor admitted his mistake, "I really can't do anything about you!"
When Lin Jing saw such a family, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes. Although the union between her and Xie Siyun was a happy relationship, it was not without regrets.
"It would be great to have a child!" Lin Jing sighed.
While speaking, Luo Er stretched out her "magic palm" towards a famous painting by Qi Baishi with her fleshy little feet. Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo finally couldn't sit still. He stepped forward and hugged the little guy in his arms .
"Ouyang Luo, don't move." Ouyang Shuo pinched his daughter's face.
For the two children, Ouyang Shuo has always called them by their first names, and from the bottom of his heart, he treats them as little adults, so that father and son, father and daughter, are on a relatively equal position.
Instead of using the "power" of adults to educate them in the name of "love".
Ouyang Luo was not afraid of being "violent" by his father, turned his head, pointed at the words on the wall, and asked crisply, "Father, what is that?"
"That's a painting your grandpa Qi Baishi drew for you and your brother, don't tear it up."
Qi Baishi came to Daxia in March and is currently serving as the dean of the Art Academy of Southwest University. When the two children were one year old, Ouyang Shuo specially asked Mr. Qi Baishi for a painting.
On the plain white rice paper, Yu'er and Luo'er, made of splashed ink, are like two elves, frolicking and frolicking in the leisurely world.
This painting is not only full of childlike interest, but also has a long artistic conception. It is worthy of being a masterpiece.
"That's me and my brother!" Luo Er recognized it, scratched his head with his small hands, and said in doubt: "But, how did we get to the painting?"
"It's a portrait drawn by Grandpa Qi Baishi with a brush in your likeness."
The two children don't know whether they are gifted or educated properly. They can call Mom and Dad when they are seven months old, and now they can speak relatively fluently.
When the child asked, Ouyang Shuo would always answer, without being perfunctory.
"Oh~~"
Luo Er didn't delve too deeply into it, and nodded with a vague understanding.
"go to play!"
Ouyang Shuo put the little guy down.
After returning to his seat, seeing Lin Jing wanting to say something, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Auntie, is there something on your mind?"
"Are you sure about the duel?" Lin Jing asked.
Lin Jing has nothing to do with the compilation, but [Shang Xue Mei Mei]'s internal opinions are not very unified. Lin Jing is in a dilemma. I didn't expect this to happen.
Ouyang Shuo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "War, any accidents may happen. I haven't fought yet, so I'm not 100% sure."
"Then you still agree?" Lin Jing was even more worried.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "This is an opportunity, I have to give it a try, I still have great confidence in the city guards. As long as I can subdue [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], it will be easy to recruit other guilds."
Lin Jing sighed, not knowing what to say.
…………
In a blink of an eye, May is coming to an end.
There is a saying on the battlefield, "As bad as you think, you will be as bad as you are."
Ouyang Shuo's words became a prophecy.
On the 25th, the Tianzhu District, the Java District, and the Russian District declared war on the Huaxia District at the same time. The Great Zhou Dynasty was nothing, the Great Jin Dynasty had limited capabilities, and the players were not active. The Great Xia was under more than 90% of the pressure.
The situation is dire.
Even in such a situation, Ouyang Shuo still took time to pay attention to the weather in various places. The time has entered May, and the situation seems to have changed a little bit.
The most obvious thing is that the rainfall in various places has decreased significantly. In some places, it only rains once a month. This is a fatal blow to the newly planted seedlings.
It is a foregone conclusion that the harvest will be affected.
At the same time, the monster lair seems to be ushering in a new cycle of outbreaks, which puts great pressure on the defenders everywhere, and there are often monsters that slip through the net and make waves in the wilderness.
Like Tyrannosaurus, once it appears in the wilderness, the rice fields will suffer, making people want to cry without tears.
Although this situation was in line with Ouyang Shuo's expectations, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the report. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the wilderness would be in great trouble.
A big crisis is approaching the wilderness.
Even so, the footsteps of the national war month have no intention of stopping, but before the national war begins, there is still a duel in Shanhai City, which attracts more attention than the national war.
