Chapter 1048 – Going Head on Against Danger

Ouyang Shuo really did not expect that there would truly be people who dared test Great Xia.

A moment ago, Ouyang Shuo received three notifications; Korea, Nanzhang and Zhenla had all declared war on Great Xia at the same time. Ouyang Shuo smelt a plot right away.

It was just too obvious.

Nanzhang and Zhenla did not need to be mentioned, as their territories were connected to Annan Province. They declared war on China and could only attack from Annan.

What about Korea?

Being stimulated by Japan, when the lips die, the teeth would feel cold. In truth, they too were connected to Beijiang Province.

The three countries were like three sharp blades stabbing right at Great Xia. If it were not for Gaia only allowing three countries max, there would probably be even more challengers.

For example, the Africa Continent would definitely not be as peaceful as now.

Needless to say, Silver Hand had to be behind this. Apart from this super organization, no one else had such huge ability to lead countries on a global scale.

Grand Council.

Ouyang Shuo removed his eyes from the maps and said expressionlessly, "We have got trouble!"

The biggest problem out of the three was Korea.

First, they were connected to Nanjiang Province and the Korea Army could attack from land. Secondly, they had a total of seven million players, which was on the same level as Japan and Annan.

If Zhenla and Nanzhang were illnesses, Korea was a cancer.

"What does the king mean?" Du Ruhui asked.

Ouyang Shuo's eyes were resolute, "This is the first wave of attacks from the enemy, and we mus not back down! Not only that, but we must fight back."

"Let this battle be the start of our fight against Silver Hand!"

Ouyang Shuo finally decided to go head to head against Silver Hand. Maybe deep down, he had been waiting for this day.

The current Great Xia had the ability to withstand all sorts of provocation.

When Baiqi, Huo Qubing, Zheng He, and the others heard this, they all felt their blood boil.

Ouyang Shuo decided to split up the Great Xia Army to deal with the three sides.

Zhenla and Nanzhang formed one group and would be handled by the southwest warzone led by Baiqi.

Zhenla had a total of 1.2 million players, while Nanzhang had 600 thousand. Adding in the guard troops of both countries, there were a total of 180 thousand. Their total number of territory troops would not exceed 300 thousand.

The southwest warzone had the Annan formation and Dragon Legion Corps under it, so they had a total of 560 thousand troops. Furthermore, with Baiqi in charge, it was more than enough to deal with the two countries.

The ocean support would be led by Yanhuo Yaonie and the Indian Ocean Squadron.

The order Ouyang Shuo gave Baiqi was to take the chance to swallow up both countries. As for the battle between adventure gamemode players, Ouyang Shuo was ready to let Hanoi Satellite City Guardian Guild South Sky Alliance handle it. Similar to Jiangshan Alliance and Purple Moon Alliance, South Sky Alliance led by Cute Swordsman was a guild formed by a merger of many small guilds. They numbered at a total of 300 thousand members.

Along with the other Chinese players who had moved into the Satellite City as well as Annan Province, they had enough!

Korea was the second group.

Facing this difficult opponent, apart from the Chen Yucheng led Beijiang formation, Ouyang Shuo was going to let the Li Jing led Bear Legion Corps and the Huo Qubing led Guards Legion Corps go up north to assist.

To go against Korea, Ouyang Shuo was using the strongest cards he had in his hand.

Ouyang Shuo naturally had his reasons. If one said that the Battle of Japan was a full-scale war, then the Battle of Korea was one between Great Xia and Korea.

Just this alone made Ouyang Shuo decide to send his strongest Guards Legion Corps onto the Korea battlefield. Furthermore, Japan was mostly mountains, and it was also an island nation. As such, it was not a suitable place for the Guards Legion Corps to fight in.

Two legion corps, 10 War Fighting Legions, 700 thousand troops. Just the teleportation costs amounted to 1.4 million gold. This time, Ouyang Shuo was putting in a lot of hard earned cash.

The second group's ocean assistance would be from Qing Jiguang's Binhai Squadron.

On the adventure gamemode player's side, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to use Shanhai City Guardian Guild Blood Shadow Alliance, Morocco Guardian Guild Jiangshan Alliance, and Somalia Guardian Guild Purple Moon Alliance.

Along with Streamer, there were a total of four super guilds.

Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to throw in some of the Chinese players into the Battle of Korea. Although Silver Hand obviously wanted to harm Great Xia, this was a country war, and Ouyang Shuo should not be the one taking all the hits.

With Ouyang Shuo's prestige in the China region, there would naturally be no problems with that.

The commander of this second group was Bear Legion Corps marshal Li Jing.

Without a doubt, this would be the time for Great Tang military god Li Jing to prove himself. Whether he was worthy of the commander in chief title Ouyang Shuo had given him or not depended on this battle.

The final group was naturally for the Battle of Japan.

Being influence by the three country wars, the number of troops Great Xia would send to Japan was greatly reduced. On the navy side, without the Binhai Squadron, they luckily still had the Emperor Squadron, Yashan Squadron, and Pacific Squadron.

On the army side, the Eagle Legion Corps, Tiger Legion Corps, and City Protection Legion Corps needed to defend, and only the Han Xin led Leopard Legion Corps could be sent out to battle.

Eagle Legion Corps defending the west, Tiger Legion Corps defending the east, and City Protection Legion Corps defending the main camp.

Although Gaia had set rules that all internal battles were prohibited during the month, it was just that month. If the expedition troops were not able to return, they were going to face huge problems.

Hence, even when he was fighting on three sides, Ouyang Shuo needed to leave troops to defend. At most, he could send one of the legions from each of the legion corps.

As for the Morocco, Somalia, and Auckland Formations, there were only hundred thousand of them. Even if he used them, they would not amount to much.

What was worth mentioning was that because Auckland belonged to Great Xia, it was not a standalone warzone, so it avoided a catastrophe.

One had to say that Auckland Provincial Governor Jason's decision was really smart. There was news that spread out that in ASEAN, Java had targeted Timor-Leste and Johor had targeted Brunei.

If it were not due to the restriction, Luzon would have probably declared war on China. However, New Zealand could not become a country war target, which meant that Luzon had no part to play in this country war month.

Apart from that, on the Asia continent, India targeted Zhuyu in the north and Sri Lanka. It seemed like they wanted to wipe out their inland threat first before targeting Sri Lanka.

...

Without a doubt, this would be the toughest battle that Great Xia had faced yet.

For this country war, Great Xia had pretty much used up all their navy and army troops, a total of three million troops or so. Many players meant that over ten million people were activated.

The players attacking Japan were naturally the Blood Evil Mercenary guild, Fallen Leaf Alliance, and Snow-War Rose Mercenary Guild.

Apart from that, Thread would provide logistical support.

Out of the three groups, the Japanese army forces were the weakest. Luckily, Great Xia was not fighting alone. The Fallen Phoenix City Blazing Legion Corps would follow and attack the north region of Japan.

All of a sudden, the Japan group seemed like the most stacked group, as they had a total of 910 thousand men.

During the meeting, Feng Qiuhuang had made it clear that the Blazing Legion Corps would follow Great Xia's leadership. Hence, Ouyang Shuo needed to decide a commander for this group.

Without a doubt, Ouyang Shuo selected Han Xin.

Baiqi, Li Jing, and Han Xin; they were the three most all rounded God Generals in the Great Xia Army and were the ones that Ouyang Shuo trusted the most. In every big battle, one of them would definitely take the center stage.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to let Sun Bin lead the Tiger Legion Corps to defend and not the Bear Legion Corps.

After setting up the country war strategy, Ouyang Shuo did not do much else.

The specific strategies, grain and warship deployment, and the like were naturally done by the Grand Council, Privy Court, and the three commanders.

Everyone had their specializations. Ouyang Shuo was not good at leading a million troops.

Furthermore, he had other more important things to do.

That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo posted a forum post, "I've received the notification that Korea, Nanzhang, and Zhenla have declared war on us."

The moment the news spread out, China was in uproar.

After they recovered from their shock, rage followed.

Just as Ouyang Shuo had thought, as the strongest region in the world, the Chinese players all felt that China could only attack others and not the other way around.

Who knew that Zhenla, Nanzhang, and Korea would actually court death.

All of a sudden, everyone was pumped up and sought to fight. On this aspect, the Chinese players were really bold and filled with killing intent. Even in a 1v4 scenario, they still showed no fear.

Apart from 100 million players supporting them, they still had Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo naturally could not say much on the forums. The Outreach Division led by Zi Luolan swiftly acted and rained down on the forums.

On one side, she announced the resolution of Great Xia to fend off the enemy whilst revealing their arrangements of troops to calm the people down.

Following which, the Outreach Division changed their words to lead the Chinese people to fight along with Great Xia.

With the front promise as a reliance, the goodwill of the players toward Great Xia broke through the roofs. They wanted to all jump into the country war and follow Great Xia to conquer the world.

Of course, this was only the situation on the forums and not the true situation.

In a life or death situation, every adventure gamemode player would be really careful when making their choices.

This was undeniable.

Ouyang Shuo did not place his hopes on all these scattered players. The main forces were still from the super guilds.

Ouyang Shuo started to meet the guild leaders of the eight guilds he had stocks in to explain the Great Xia plan and his hope for their cooperation.

How to convince them would test Ouyang Shuo's intellect.
