861 Shi Dakai Is a Coward (1/2)

Chapter 861 – Shi Dakai Is a Coward

With the Satellite City being wiped out, the second step of the expedition army's strategy had been smoothly executed.

Close to noon, rumbling noises suddenly spread out from the outskirts of Rabat. The expedition army deputy general Baiqi had led the three legions and finally rushed to Rabat.

200 thousand troops covered the land and one could not see the end of them.

In sight were just soldiers in black armor, looking cold and shining.

In the vast army, flags waved, iron armor shone while spears and knives were lifted. Before the army even got close, one could feel a chilly aura spreading over.

On the city wall, all of them were shocked beyond words when they saw such a majestic formation, be it the Guards Soldiers or the Moroccan players.

As they say, 'If one does not climb the mountain, one does not know how high it is; if one does not dive into the water, one would not know how deep it is.'

After personally seeing the Great Xia Army, only then did Moroccan players know what a strong army looked like. On the city walls, not all of them were adventure gamemode players, and some had been Lords. However, luck did not favor them, so they were eliminated by the wilderness.

And these people were filled with much emotion when they saw this army. In comparison, their old army was nothing and could not even be compared.

The strength of the Great Xia Dynasty was really something.

Thinking about that, the uneasiness in their hearts grew. Some of the players could not handle the strong suppressive atmosphere, and their legs shook while their faces turned ashen white.

If one did not see such a strong army for themselves, one would not understand what they felt.

The game that Gaia designed was just too real.

Be it the Dragon Legion Corps or the Guards Legion Corps, they had been through hundreds of battle, so each soldier emitted a killing aura that Gaia had designed. This aura provoked the weak mental state of these players.

Adventure gamemode players who had always been fighting monsters had never seen such a formation.

The reason Gaia created such a setting was to allow the players to get used to the atmosphere of the battlefield. With that, players would not be as afraid when they arrived on Planet Hope.

A player force that had not been through fires could not even take one hit from such an army.

...

Five miles outside of Rabat, Baiqi was guarded by the Iron Eagle Swordsmen, walking in the middle of the formation. As Baiqi looked at Rabat, a bright light shone in his eyes.

Baiqi was not unfamiliar with this city, as he had spent a night in it. Baiqi knew that every imperial city was strong, even the lowest grade ones.

To take it down, one needed to be patient and could not rush.

Thinking of which, Baiqi said, ”Send my orders, camp here. Order Shi Dakai to lead the 5th legion to enter the Satellite City to remove any obstacles, there must be no mistakes.”

Baiqi's orders seemed to be casual, but it contained a hidden meaning behind it.

First, Shi Dakai had just started to lead the army and had not gotten any contributions, so Baiqi was giving him a chance. Secondly, Baiqi wanted to use this chance to judge his ability.

The king recommended him but Baiqi wanted to see for himself.

Troops moving were not a small matter, so even attacking a defenseless city tested the ability of the general. God Generals like Baiqi could see much more things from such.

”Yes!” The messenger charged away.

After a short while, the army stopped. The ocean breeze blew across, but the army did not make a single noise. It was like a statue in the wilderness, not making a move.

When the Moroccans saw that, they felt a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, the 5th legion planned at the right wing moved away, turning east toward the Satellite City.

”What are they doing?” The Moroccan players did not understand.

Someone hesitated, ”Look at the direction; they are going to attack the Satellite City.”

”To attack the Satellite City now, they are too careful, right?” The Moroccan players were speechless.

”Are we going to stop them?”

”No, this might be their plan to make us split up troops to reduce their resistance in attacking the city. We cannot fall for their tricks.”

”That's right. The Satellite City is just an empty city. If they want to take it, they can go ahead.”

Hence, the Moroccans decided to stay still and wait for changes.

As for the imperial city guards, without military orders, they would not leave their positions. Their role was to defend the imperial city, so why would they care about a Satellite City?

Moreover, it was an empty city.

Of course, to ask the guards army to come out of the city to attack was not impossible.

...

At that juncture, Shi Dakai led the 5th legion and quickly acted.

Reality proved that Shi Dakai did not let Baiqi down.
