"Damn..."
On the ship, Li Mu looked at my backview.
...
Water pillars spun all about. I felt like the energy in my body was being sucked dry. Not only that. I was also able to suck the water in the whirlpool out. Many giant water dragons were being controlled by me. I waved my arms forwards, "Try this!"
"Damn..."
Clear Black Eyes stood stunned on the ship and her face was filled with unwillingness and despair. She muttered, "Is Xiao Yao really my counter?"
"Hong!"
Water dragons pounced towards their ships and smashed into them. The Azure Ocean Army ships were pierced through by the water dragons and now only 2 were left. Clear Black Eyes said calmly, "Retreat!"
...
The Azure Ocean Army troops cried out for help in the water but who would bother about them during war. After using Heaven Control at the greatest scale till date, my strength was sucked dry. I didn't even have the ability to fly. The side effects of this skill was so brutal!
"Shua!"
I fell into the water and Lin Wan Er exclaimed from the ship. She flew up and caught me. We rolled on the deck and my face felt really soft. I rested in her arms. My girlfriend's body felt really nice to the touch. If not for people being around, I definitely wouldn't be willing to leave.
"Wu wu..."
Her face swelled red but she still looked at me in concern, "Are you okay?"
"En."
I nodded my head and forced my way up. The water currents were already broken by Ocean Breaking and Heaven Control. Clear Black Eyes left with only two ships and the Azure Ocean Army was pretty much wiped out. Those two ships wouldn't be able to do much.
I looked at the skill list and all of them turned red which showed that I couldn't use them. The cooldown was 60 minutes!
Heaven Control was a super technique and maybe I overused it?
I was a little speechless and told Lin Wan Er about it. I was unable to use skills in 60 minutes and my stats had dropped by 70%. Lin Wan Er was stunned but then she smiled and spoke to me sweetly, "Don't worry, I will protect you!"
...
We returned back from where we came from. We had defeated Clear Black Eyes and had won. However, the equipment from navy battles couldn't be picked as one would probably drown from diving.
Dragon Lake, Royal Army base, the logistics team were cooking.
Players didn't need to eat in game so Death God's Elegy and the others went offline. The others spread out to kill those solo players and teams. In the distance, the battle reports continued. Apart from Fire Axe Army, the Xia Yu Army that had developed to 30 thousand strong was sneak attacked by 100 thousand India players. Fortunately Ye Lai supported them in time and sent Prague's main force. They finally killed all 100 thousand of them but only obtained 100 thousand points. Fire Dragon Army that was together with Xia Yu Army had 20 thousand of their NPC troops killed, giving them over a million points!
Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple noticed that the points from killing NPCs were 50 times more than that of killing players.
Which was why they rather sacrificed players to kill Tian Ling City's NPC troops. Our War Hawk Knights found really unfortunate news that most Waterfront City NPCs were hiding within the city. That place didn't belong to the map so there was no point in killing them.
The situation had developed badly for us and we had to stop it!
...
When I thought about that, I jumped up the horse and brought Lin Wan Er to the Fire Marsh Plains. Tian Ling City's guilds were basically all there.
We passed the Violent Thunder Army and Guards Army camp and when we arrived at the main tent, Situ Xin was organising a meeting. He was the other Commander in chief and the one with the highest rank here. When I was not around, he was the one to give out orders.
"Hua!"
The entrance was opened and I stepped into the tent. Everyone stood up and cupped their fists, "Commander in chief!"
I nodded and didn't say anything.
Situ Xin asked, "What news does Master Li have?"
I took in a deep breath, "The news I brought is that we should retreat."
"Why?" Situ Xin was shocked, "War Hawk Knights sent news that Master Li's Royal Army defeated the Azure Ocean Army so why do we suddenly need to retreat?"
I was a little helpless and I said, "If I tell you that Waterfront City adventurers can gain huge rewards by killing all of you, so much that Tian Ling Empire would lose Waterfront City. That if you retreat and allow us to deal with them, that would be the best solution. Will you listen to me?"
Situ Xin was shocked, "I... I don't understand..."
He was an NPC so I didn't have hopes that he could understand game matters.
Situ Xin cupped his fists, "But as long as Master Li give an order, we will follow it!"
I was relieved, "En, General Situ lead the army to the north of War God River. There is no need for all of you here, I shall solve it!"
Violent Thunder Army commander Xu Yan stood up, "Master Li, I don't understand. We are all generals fighting for the empire, why does Master Li have to stay here while we need to hide? If that is the case then why should we join the army?"
Luo Fei didn't understand too, "Yes Master Li, we are loyal to the empire. Why do we need to be cowards? I really don't understand!"
Situ Xin said, "What is with this nonsense. Master Li is The Executor, his words are orders. Who have any doubts?"
Xu Yan was stunned and cupped his fist, "Yes, General adheres!"
Luo Fei said, "General understands too!"
...
I nodded, "Sorry generals, but I will explain to His Majesty once we returns that all of you are not afraid. I will help all of you to explain."
Luo Fei said, "Suiding Duke doesn't need to do that, we just need to follow orders!"
I didn't say anything else, "Retreat immediately!"
"Yes!"
Thus, Tian Ling City's troops retreated. Only Royal Army remained. We had enough firepower and equipment. We also had the Dragon’s Den troops. We really did hope that the Indians had the courage to send points over to us.
...
A little later, Fang Ge Que asked the guild leaders to gather in Forest of Stars to discuss the battle plan.
I brought Lin Wan Er over and this place was already filled with hundred people. The forest was shining bright and the atmosphere was quite good.
Fang Ge Que waved his fan and sat next to the fire. He smiled when he saw me, "Xiao Yao, sit here."
I brought Lin Wan Er over. Yan Zhao Warrior, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Ye Lai, Mu Xuan etc were all beside the campfire. The guild leaders were all nearer to the flames which I found quite amusing. However, what could I do? It was like that for hundreds of years, the difference in status was obvious.
"We can begin." I said.
Fang Ge Que nodded, "All of you see that we thought that we could crush them and win this event but it isn't so simple. Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple are too smart. They tried to fight a battle of attrition and then used players to exchange for NPCs. Now that our point gap is small, they just need one battle to defeat us."
Fang Ge Que touched his nose and smiled, "We were too overconfident and many small guilds gave points to them. I am at fault so I would reflect."
Wang Zecheng said, "I was too arrogant too and Fire Axe Army was defeated."
Q-Sword laughed coldly, "Not only once, didn't you lost to Royal Army at Fire God Mountain previously? This should be the second time right? Losing so many times, Fire Axe Army is about to be lost because of you!"
Wang Zecheng was stunned, "Q-Sword you might not like me but that is okay, I can allow your emotions. I just want China to win this event."
I said, "Okay, no need to say all this. Let's talk about what we should do next?"
Fang Ge Que nodded, "Xiao Yao has ordered to send the NPC troops back so we don't need to worry about Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple sneak attacking us. I also got news that not all Waterfront City NPC troops are in the city. They did have troops in the map."
Fang Ge Que waved and a map was shared to everyone which marked where the troops and their numbers were, "Flame Lion Army's General Xing Huo is a careful person and he doesn't even trust his own woman. Apart from troops in the city, here..."
He pointed at a mountain, "This place is Three Blade Mountain and is one of the maps of the event, there are 50 thousand Flame Lion Army troops here. Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple will also be here. Clear Black Eyes is smart and defends Three Blade Mountain while sneak attacking us."
Q-Sword was shocked. He slapped Three Blade Mountain and that caused energy to ripple, "Our next step is to attack Three Blade Mountain right?"
Fang Ge Que nodded, "Right. Kill the 50 thousand troops there and that will give us at least 2.5 million points. Then, we would definitely win this battle!
"Damn..."
On the ship, Li Mu looked at my backview.

Water pillars spun all about. I felt like the energy in my body was being sucked dry. Not only that. I was also able to suck the water in the whirlpool out. Many giant water dragons were being controlled by me. I waved my arms forwards, "Try this!"
