Chapter 935 – Dragon Legion Corps’ Stunning Strike

Dali, Satellite City.

Within the City Lord’s Manor, Xiao Alliance guild leader Xiao Nianying paced around the room.

Xiao Nianying originally wanted to take the role of a bystander in the battle between Great Xia and the Yanhuang Alliance. Who knew that he would be wrapped up in it?

Facing the pressure from Di Chen and his family, the Xiao Family had no choice.

‘The things I owe have to be returned eventually.’ Xiao Nianying thought to himself.

Then he thought back to what Di Chen wrote in the letter. Not long after Emperor Wen of Sui moved into Quanzhou, Great Xia had made him remove the Guardian Guild Streamer.

One of the top 10 guilds was played by Ouyang Shuo just like that.

The terrible outcome of Jun Yilao terrified Xiao Nianying. Thinking about that, he finally set his mind to it, “I have no choice; let’s have a good battle.”

…

Chuanbei Province, Fenggang City.

West Gate Big Official looked at the letter that Chun Shenjun sent, and he burst out into laughter and tore the letter into shreds. “You want me to be your scapegoat? Nice try.”

West Gate Big Official was getting more and more annoyed by the Yanhuang Alliance. A bunch of fellows who only knew how to fight internally made him feel ashamed to associate with them.

Although he was from an aristocratic family, he was not definitely on their side, much less being bought over by them. He had his own interest considerations.

Earth Online was deeply changing the world situation, and a new group of nobles were growing. This was the best chance for medium and small-sized aristocratic families to rise.

Thinking about this, he could not help but look at the other letter on his table. On it, the words, ‘Qiyue Wuyi’ were written. His eyes lit up as he muttered, “It’s time to make a choice!”

…

Xiangnan Province, Caiyun City.

Caiyun Zinan also received Chun Shenjun’s letter, and his face was really gloomy.

During this period of time, many things had happened in the wilderness. Internally, Xiangnan City-State was in a mess, and Caiyun Zinan was not having a pleasant time.

Chasing the reason, it was still because of what happened in the 11th month.

That day, Ouyang Shuo signed a trade agreement with the two City-States. Who would have expected a member of Xiangnan City-State to try to kill Fan Li? However, the person was taken down by Ouyang Shuo.

When Caiyun Zinan saw that, not only did he not save him, but he even swallowed up Fen City, beginning the internal expansion of Caiyun City.

At this date, Caiyun City had taken over two prefectures of land.

His actions had a negative influence, and it caused his reputation within the City-State to fall. Along with the help of the Shanhai Guards, his reputation was now in a total mess.

It was because of this that distrust arose between him and Zhang Liang. This was because the merger idea was raised up by Zhang Liang, so all of these problems were caused by him.

In truth, the real reason was Caiyun Zinan’s own greed. No matter how good the strategy was, if the process was messed up in the middle, there was nothing the strategist could do about it.

Luckily, Caiyun City had taken over two prefectures of land, and they were still the strongest territory in Xiangnan City-State.

“I have no way out already, do I?”

A tinge of viciousness appeared in his eyes; who knows what he was planning.

…

Shu Lands, Qiang Prefecture.

As the place where the highest number of Qiang race people gathered, there were over 200 of their tribes, and their population reached the millions. However, they rarely came into contact with the outside world until the Great Xia representative entered the prefecture.

That was before Great Xia established the country. To complete the country establishment mission, Ouyang Shuo sent an envoy in to try and convince them to join Great Xia.

Although the appearance of the underground lost race broke his plan with the Qiang Race, Great Xia had never given up on helping and persuading them.

Using the successful ‘all people are equal plan,’ the Qiang Race gained a good impression of Great Xia.

In these past few months, Ouyang Shuo had ordered them to sneak in grain, food, salt, iron, weapons, and the like; this expenditure totaled at over a million gold.

Just like that, their hearts slowly leaned toward Shanhai City.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo had to thank Swordsman City. They had the geographical advantage, but they did not want to waste resources to recruit the Qiang Race.

The Qiang Race was an old race in the west of China, and they had many branches in history.

Of the two famous ones, one was in West Xia, while the other was in Qiang Prefecture.

The West Xia was the Tangut Tribe, and the one who started it was Li Yuanhao. This branch would officially enter the game after the Song Dynasty Battle Map ended.

The Shu Lands branch was the Bashu ancient Qiang, and the leader was called Can Ling. In Li Bai’s poem, he mentioned the same region.

On this day, Can Ling gathered hundreds of tribe leaders.

One of them had a really muscular body, and his long hair reached his shoulders. His body gave out a strong aura; he was the leader of the Cancong tribe, Fu Yang.

On the square outside, 60 thousand elite Qiang warriors had gathered, and each of them had a Tang Blade and wore elite armor. Their hands were either holding a long spear or a shield, and they each had a long bow on their backs.

Their formation seemed to be really orderly, and it was unlike the scattered troops of old.

Within the meeting hall, Fu Yang raised his wooden cup and looked around. Then he said loudly, “Guys, the chance for our Qiang Race to gain credit is here!”

‘Hula!”

Hundreds of leaders raised their cups; the scene was truly majestic.

Fu Yang said, “We Qiang men are all true men, and we know how to repay kindness. Great Xia helped us, giving us precious salt, iron, and weapons; this kindness, should we repay it?”

“Yes!”

“Great!” Fu Yang waved his hand, “Bring the boys to war. The Xia King said that if we win, Qiang Prefecture would be officially under his rule. We will live lives that are hundreds of times better than now.”

“Hula!”

Another round of cheers.

Outside on the square, louder shouts could be heard.

“Hula! Hula! Hula!”

These shouts passed through the mountains and the rivers, and they reverberated through the entire wilderness!

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

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 9th month.

During these past few days, both the Shanhai Alliance and the Yanhuang Alliance had been moving troops toward the border. There were uncountable amounts of grain and resources, and there were carts and carriages aplenty.

On the 9th month, 1st day, most of the troops were in place.

The 3rd and 5th legion of the Dragon Legion Corps had moved into Dongchuan Prefecture, and the 2nd and 4th had reached Steel City. Only the 1st legion led by Baiqi was casually in Consonance City.

The bustling wilderness suddenly calmed down, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

On this day, the outside world still was not sure who the Great Xia was going to hit. The entire wilderness was focusing on the Great Xia, and how and who they were about to strike.

The nerve-racking atmosphere lingered in the air of the entire wilderness, making it hard for one to breathe.

…

9th month, 2nd day, Steel City.

The twisting and turning Jinsha River flowed relentlessly, passing the city.

Along with the steelmaking factory, the mimicry flying device factory, the cannon making base, the steam engine making base, and a large batch of workshops and factories being set up here, this city was becoming more like its name suggested.

It was hard to differentiate the inside and outside of the city, as the sound of many types of machinery spread out.

In the deep mountains far away, many iron mines and coal mines were being dug with the help of the steam engines. They sent ore and coal toward the steelmaking factories and the coal factories on the outskirts of the city.

On the Jinsha River, the ships were endless, transporting all the things produced here to other parts of the dynasty.

In the ancient game background, to be able to see such an industrialized city was a miracle.

Based on the plans made by the Industrialization Department, they were going to build a railway between the biggest mine to the biggest steelmaking factory.

A railroad would use up a vast quantity of gold, and just the early expenses would cost 500 thousand. At the same time, steam train research was listed as one of the department’s core projects.

The birth of industrialization was taking place in Great Xia.

…

On the north outskirts of Steel City, a huge camp was set up.

The 2nd and 4th legions were here. Nearby, there was a giant storage with mountains full of grain and resources.

The grain and resources were prepared by the Combat Logistics Department, and they had used the water route to transport these over from Chuannan Province.

The goal was naturally to cover their tracks so that Swordsman City would not notice.

Not far away, there was an airport that was surrounded by five meter high walls. Inside these walls, there were hundreds of mimicry flying devices lying in wait.

If outsiders saw this, they would definitely be shocked. No one could imagine how much damage such a scale of flying devices being thrown into battle would cause. This scale was the highest product of the steel city industrialization, and it was also the trump card of Great Xia for this battle.

Two legions; the 2nd legion on the west was led by Lai Hu’er, while the 4th legion in the east was led by Shixin.

Speaking of which, these two Sui Dynasty generals have had some dealings before. This time, Lai Hu’er was appointed as the left vanguard, and Luo Shixin was the right vanguard, forming the Great Xia vanguard forces.

On this morning, these two huge armies set out together, splitting into two paths when they entered the Jiangyang Prefecture.

The moment the news went out, the world was in an uproar.
