Chapter 1014 – Breaking an Arm to Live

4th month, 13th day, Hai Van mountain range.

The mist bellowed on the Hai Van mountain range like a paradise. When the sun rose up, the mist faded, and the blood red earth was instantly revealed.

What kind of paradise was that? it was pretty much hell.

The bodies of the adventure gamemode players despawned, but the blood from the corpses remained. The blood stains seeped into the soil and onto the grass.

Within a night, 200 thousand of the south conquering army troops were destroyed, and only a few lucky ones survived.

This battle became the turning point of the Battle of Annan. Adding in the 500 thousand that were trapped in the path, out of the 1.6 million combat occupation players, close to half were wiped out.

Along with the south conquering troops being wiped, the fate of the 4th legion of Haiphong City became predictable.

With that, the 800 thousand guards troops housed in Hanoi were unharmed, while half of the player troops of Annan were wiped out.

The more terrifying part was that during this process, the Great Xia Army did not suffer any casualties.

The huge difference nearly caused the Annan players to collapse. When the news of the 200 thousand reinforcements being ambushed spread half to Hanoi, the entire imperial city was silent.

Fear, oppression, and anger; all of these negative emotions lingered over the city.

After the players calmed down, all of them pointed at Ruan Tianque and scolded him. There were two reasons for this.

First, if it were not For Haiphong City being too intense with their treatment of Tongchun Chamber of Commerce, this war would not have even happened.

Secondly, the faulty intel provided by Haiphong City caused them to be ambushed and caused the entire army to collapse.

One could say that Ruan Tianque was the main guilty party of this war.

Due to such considerations, the Annan players gave up hopes of reclaiming Danang City. Even to say they had given up hope on the entire south.

Half of Annan had fallen just like that.

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

During the next few days, the Annan battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Without any reinforcements, with the poisonous smoke and food shortage, the fates of the 500 thousand soldiers trapped inside was easy to predict.

Some of them decided to kill one another for food, while others committed suicide.

It was a really depressing scene.

Mu Guiying's forces in Danang City had completed their mission and followed down south to attack the remaining 4th legion.

Apart from that, there was no other action in the Annan battlefield.

On the contrary, in the China region, the Yanhuang Alliance breached the West Chu border, fighting an intense battle with the West Chu Army.

The Xiang Family was filled with many strong generals, and the army Xiang Yu personally trained was filled with elites. Furthermore, the West Chu Army was fighting for the hope of their group, so the strengths of both parties were equal.

Seeing that Great Xia was proceeding quickly in Annan, having taken down half of it so quickly, Di Chen and the others gritted their teeth, taking another 200 thousand troops from their own territories to throw into the battlefield.

This time, West Chu was in trouble.

The Yanhuang Alliance similarly did not lack famous general. Wuqi, Tiandan, and Lianpo; each one of them was all famous. Along with Xie Xuan, Hua Xiong, Zhao Zhuang, and the like, it was a star-studded lineup.

The Battle of West Chu entered its crucial period just like that.

Even so, no one felt that West Chu would lose so easily. In history, Xiang Yu was a person that created miracles and had won many unwinnable battles.

This battle could still be won.

At this very moment, another change occurred.

4th month, 14th day, the Great Xia Eagle Legion Corps led by Li Mu suddenly entered Fallen Leaf City territory and started a war.

At the same time, Fallen Phoenix City's Blazing Legion Corps went east into Asura City territory. The Beijiang Formation was filled with activity at the Zhangwu Prefecture border, looking like it would enter Handan City territory at any moment.

All of a sudden, the China region was in chaos.

No one expected Great Xia to suddenly start a battle at this moment. When the Yanhuang Alliance was at their weakest, Great Xia worked with Fallen Phoenix City to try to take down Guanxi Province.

”Now this is interesting!”

As the Yanhuang Alliance had attacked Great Xia's ally first, this was retaliation, and there was nothing wrong with this.

If someone had to be blamed, then it would be the Yanhuang Alliance.

Players with brains even understood that the Yanhuang Alliance had taken the chance when Ouyang Shuo went to Australia to take down Wannan Province and then attack West Chu when Great Xia attacked Annan.

The entire operation was closely connected, and this was obviously a huge plan.

On the surface, the Yanhuang Alliance was only trying to link up their territories, but the final goal was to build a dynasty that could face off against Great Xia.

Especially after Di Chen spent so much gold on the merit talisman, the Yanhuang Alliance's ambition to establish a dynasty was revealed to the world.

Facing such a situation, Great Xia looked like it had no reaction, but in truth, it was waiting for the moment to strike.
