Earth’s Best Gamer Chapter 340

Chapter 340 - Zhou Yu’s Trick

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“There are three reasons.

“Firstly, now that Master has demonstrated our strength to Fang La, it will be pointless to pretend that we’re weak!

“Secondly, because Fang La’s subordinates are wavering, he will definitely choose to attack us with all his men as the person in charge, partly to disprove all the theories about the Empyrean Dragon Emperor and partly to make his men hate us.

“Plus Fang La’s talent ability that can likely instigate his believers, it’s not really possible for us to convert those believers.”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

“Most importantly of all, Fang La’s troops are moving right towards the Twin Dragon Island, and there will be dire consequences once they get on the shore.”

After that, Zhou Yu pointed at the Twin Dragon Island, where the critical locations had been marked, with a laser pen.

“Ugh, so complicated. I really would rather do things than using my brain!”

Mister Bug rubbed his swollen forehead.

Ji Ye nodded and spoke with a heavier tone, “In that case, we’ll have to take care of Fang La’s troops first. We must destroy them once and for all.

“Well, thirty percent of Fang La’s men are navy. They have a hundred warships of different sizes. The battle on the sea will be the key.”

Ruan Xiaoqi immediately stood up. “The Water Demons request for battle. We will sink all of Fang La’s ships!”

With the memories of his fate, he was naturally aware that his elder brother was killed by the Four Dragons of Zhejiang under Fang La’s command. He even personally felt the grief.

Now that he had run into the enemy, he would definitely not let them go!

“Meng Kang requests for battle! We have created seven iron-armored warships over these days. We can definitely crush them.”

Another voice echoed in the room.

Meng Kang, the Jade Flagpole, hadn’t been very important in the settlement.

He was only summoned this time because the information on the enemy warships was needed.

However, as a hero who arrived in the same period as An Daoquan and Yan Qing, and the director responsible for the construction of the Mirage Dragon Warship, he had naturally acquired a lot of EXP and resources and already reached the peak of Extraordinary Rank-7.

Together with the Ruan brothers who were both Extraordinary Rank-8, even though they were outnumbered by Fang La, they were still able to fight Fang La’s navy with the iron-armored warships that had been installed with a lot of modern equipment and protected by iron in the critical parts.

“Oh, right. Apart from Fang La’s troops, we’ve detected some navy troops under Tian Hu’s and Wang Qing’s command too.

“Chief Ling, you will lead the navy of the Kingdom of Wu on the Snapping Dragon Turtle Warships and prevent them from disrupting our plan!”

After that, Ji Ye looked at Ling Cao who was seated next to Zhou Yu.

Ling Cao had also advanced into Extraordinary Rank-7, and Ji Ye had given him the Snapping Dragon Turtle Warships that used to belong to the Dragon Tooth Battalion.

Also, over these days, a dozen well-trained Extraordinary members of the navy of the Kingdom of Wu had been summoned. They were not large in number, but they were all capable warriors!

“Yes, sir!”

Ling Cao crossed his hands and accepted the order loudly.

It hadn’t been long since he came to the Twin Dragon Island, and he still retained the habits of the ancient people!

“As for commanding the battle on the sea, it will be your duty, Gongjin!”

Ji Ye looked at Zhou Yu and slightly nodded at him.

He planned to name Zhou Yu the commander of the navy, but Zhou Yu had just arrived.

It was impossible for Ji Ye to ignore Ruan Xiaoer and others who had risked their lives and made great contributions during the development of the settlement.

This battle was undoubtedly an opportunity for the “Handsome Mr. Zhou” to distinguish himself!

“I’ll get it done!”

Zhou Yu spoke calmly, confidently, and elegantly.

“As for the Kingdom of Liao…”

Ji Ye looked back at the sandbox.

In fact, the Kingdom of Liao was no weaker than Fang La from a comprehensive point of view.

After all, the other three parties were technically “rebels”, whereas the Kingdom of Liao had real troops.

However, because Liao invaded Song, it was unlikely to cooperate with Tian Hu or Wang Qing. The three parties might have conflicts if Liao was left alone.

On the other hand, there was a “horse” mark on the territory of Liao.

The Kingdom of Liao had a lot of cavalrymen and many horses that had awakened extraordinary powers. The Twin Dragon Island was in dire need of those horses, so they couldn’t press the assault recklessly.

“I’d like to ask for your permission to command eight soldiers of the Yue Army. I’ll stop the Liao troops and take more than three thousand horses…” Zhuge Ying, who was Zhuge Liang’s descendant and the advisor to the Yue Army in the novel, said.

He wore a green turban over his head and waved a white feather fan in his hand, just like the tattoo of Zhuge Liang on Mister Bug’s arm.

Unlike the Liangshan soldiers who were mostly rebels, the Yue Army’s main opponents were the nomads in the north, or namely, the Kingdom of Jin which destroyed the Kingdom of Liao.

Therefore, Zhuge Ying was very confident in dealing with the incoming Liao troops.

Ji Ye, however, shook his head.

“The Yue Army will play an important part in the battle and has to attack Fang La’s troops with me.”

This “Zhuge Ying” was indeed Zhuge Liang’s descendant, but since he was a fictional character from a novel, he was overly confident about the Yue Army’s strength in his world1.

Also, the fact that he was copying Zhuge Liang’s dressing style made Ji Ye find him even less reliable.

However, Zhuge Ying was truly stronger and smarter than ordinary people, or he wouldn’t have been at the meeting.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Ye decided to send him to Lu Zhishen, who defended Dragon City.

“However, Chief Zhuge, since you’re familiar with the tactics of the nomads, you can stay in Dragon City and help Chief Lu deal with the Liao troops tomorrow!”

Lu Zhishen was getting smarter and more sophisticated these days. He would carefully consider if a suggestion was feasible after someone made it to him.

There were more and more heroes on the Twin Dragon Island, and it was impossible to fuse all the offerings.

So, the Excellent and Refined heroes were inevitably flawed.

The management of every settlement had to make the best use of their advantages and avoid their shortcomings!

“Okay, let’s discuss the specific distribution of the troops!”

Now that the strategy had been decided, it was time to discuss the more detailed “tactics”.

“Fang La is truly strong with his ten thousand soldiers and more than fifty Commanders.

“In order to take him down, we’ll have to deploy sixty to seventy percent of our forces.

“In that case, there won’t be enough men left to prevent the other three parties from getting ashore!”

Li Qing pointed out a problem.

Those Ordinary soldiers weren’t really a problem to the Twin Dragon Island.

With the Tide Fire Oil Refining Technology from the Snake Monkeys and the Fire Crystals from the Magma Islands, the Twin Dragon Island had enough materials to make ammunitions.

During the preparation for the war, more than two thousand guns and cannons had been manufactured.

The regular guns could already hurt and kill those below Extraordinary Rank-5; the sniper rifles could deal with the Extraordinary Rank-5; the multi-barreled machine guns could target the Extraordinary Rank-6 who had quick reactions; the cannons with a caliber of more than fifty millimeters were threats to the Extraordinary Rank-7!

Therefore, the important thing to do in the battle the next day was to deal with the top warriors in Extraordinary Rank-8 and Rank-9.

“In particular, based on the intelligence on Tian Hu and Fang La, the leaders of the four enemy forces are probably all Extraordinary Rank-9 and have methods to invoke certain Extraordinary power!”

Wu Qiao also frowned.

“Well, I’ll personally lead the attack towards Fang La’s troops!

“Chief Lu and Chief Wu will stay behind. Each of them can fend off an enemy leader… As for the last leader, are Mr. Gongsun, Chief Lu, and Yang Zhi still in seclusion?” Ji Ye asked.

So far, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and he were the only three who had made it to Extraordinary Rank-9.

Gongsun Sheng, Lu Junyi, and Yang Zhi had been training in seclusion, but Yang Zhi felt that the situation was too urgent and abandoned the breakthrough in order to strengthen the defenses with his Black Armor Soldiers. If the other two didn’t successfully advance by the next time, it would be hard to block the charge of the enemy leader.

“Not yet!”

Elder Zhou, who was responsible for human resources, shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter. Since we’re pretending to be weak, we’ll have to pay some price in order to fool the enemy.

“If it’s truly impossible to stop the enemy from approaching the island, just abandon the unimportant areas and focus on the critical regions!”

After a moment of consideration, Ji Ye marked the areas on the sandbox in different hues of redness!

Undoubtedly, the core of the fort had the deepest color. Then, it was the important resource locations and “Dragon City”.

“Dragon City has been designed to deal with Transcendent threats.

“We’ve prioritized the defense system over these days too. A lot of hot weapons have been installed. It’s impossible for the enemies to conquer it easily,” said Elder Jiao.

Even though there were a lot of Commanders among the enemies, it wouldn’t be so easy to conquer Dragon City!

“We’ve set up some barricades on the Magma Island too these days.

“If it’s impossible to defend the shoreline, just retreat to the volcano area. The enemy can’t take it down as long as Yuanba is there…” Ji Ye said.

Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Yu were all capable of fighting enemies above their levels.

Also, they all had powerful talents, and they were even more useful in such massive battles than a lot of people in Extraordinary Rank-9.

In particular, a secret weapon had been prepared and hidden in the volcano on the Magma Island.

“However, the Snake Monkey Island is really a problem.

“It’s almost entirely flat, and it won’t be possible to block the enemy while we’re short of soldiers!”

Ji Ye frowned slightly.

“We can fully open up the Snake Monkey Island and maybe even some of the regions on the Twin Dragon Island that adjoin it,” Zhou Yu said.

“We… open it up?”

Some of the people who heard that were dazed.

“Huh… That’s a great idea!”

However, some other people had glittering eyes after consideration and realized what Zhou Yu, who was from Three Kingdoms but had learned a lot of modern knowledge, was thinking.

When Fang La’s troops were destroyed, two of the other three parties would be blocked by the people on the Twin Dragon Island, and the last party, which went through the Snake Monkey Island, would be able to march into the heartland of the Twin Dragon Island.

Then, what would the first two parties do?

“Also, to ensure that the last party can fight the first two parties without losing, we can totally go easy on them when we block them. That way, we’ll be able to deploy more soldiers to reinforce the other three battlefields!” said Elder Zhou with a smile.

“Besides, don’t forget that in order to increase the radiations and awake the superpowers, we’ve been boosting the radiation on the Snake Monkey Island with the power of providence over these days.

“And the Land of Radiation on the island is the only habitable place that has houses to live in… The intruders cannot see the stats of the Land of Radiation like we do. Even if they can, they probably won’t understand what radiation means…”

Elder Meng also moved his porcelain cup as if he was confident of the victory.

Undoubtedly, the last party would be stationed on the Land of Radiation.

Receiving radiations for a short while in that place wouldn’t grant one with superpowers. It would only weaken them and afflict them with dizziness, diarrhea, and even hallucinations.

Under such circumstances, the last party wouldn’t be able to break into the real core regions of the Twin Dragon Island, and they would be surrounded and destroyed by the other three parties!
