Chapter 1128 – One Same Move Beats Everyone
Avera’s reply instantly placed Uwais into a tough situation.
“It seems like Great Xia is prepared to fight on two fronts.” Uwais was having a headache. Protecting Luzon and Australia was not just because of their ally agreement but also because it concerned the safety of Java.
There were only a few countries left in Southeast Asia. Piao and Johor had stopped fighting against Great Xia, and in the end, Java was only left with Luzon and Australia as allies.
The moment the two of them fell, Java was destined to be alone. As they say, it takes two hands to clap. If they fell, Java would sooner or later be strangled to death by Great Xia.
“Let’s send one wave of reinforcements and adapt to the situation.” Uwais decided to send 100 thousand troops to Melbourne and Lloilo. As for whether he would send more or not would depend on how the battle developed.
Both troops were teleported there.
The nearby ocean regions of Java were locked down by Great Xia, and Uwais did not dare to travel by the ocean. The moment they were intercepted by the Great Xia Squadron, all would be lost.
…
The arrival of the 100 thousand Badong City reinforcements let Avera heave a sigh of relief.
Based on intel from the frontlines, Great Xia had only sent out two Guards Legion Corps legions, a total of 140 thousand troops. On the other hand, Australia had 200 thousand imperial city guards, 100 thousand territory army, and 100 thousand reinforcements.
If one added in the combat occupation players, their chances of winning were even higher.
However, just thinking about how the ones that Great Xia sent were the most elite Guards Legion Corps, Avera lost all confidence.
Luckily, as a Lord, he was really decisive. He was ready to settle down the army and lead them toward imperial city Canberra to meet up with the imperial city guards to go against Great Xia’s invasion together.
On the other side, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps were busy.
After the Guards Legion Corps smoothly disembarked, the 1st division of the Indian Ocean Squadron made the return trip to ferry the remaining three legions of the Guards Legion Corps as well as the Auckland formation over.
Great Xia badly needed Australia.
Although Liaojin Province was established, and their ore shortage was solved, Ouyang Shuo did not mind taking down Australia and getting more resources.
Teaching Australia a lesson would also be sending a signal to Silver Hand and let their members realize that following the strategy of the organization and angering Great Xia would result in such an outcome.
On the way back, the 1st and 4th legions that had already taken down Sydney rested up and followed the plans of the commander to split up into three armies.
The 1st army was the 1st legion, which was the boulder army’s 1st division; they were in charge of defending Sydney. Their responsibility would be to welcome the incoming forces and also work with the Black Snake Guards to clear out the city.
The goal was to cover the arrival of the upcoming forces such that Avera would not notice.
The 2nd army was led by the 4th legions’ elite Cavalry Division. They would sweep the cities and villages around Sydney to achieve the same goals as the 1st army.
Lastly, there was the 3rd army; they were the main force that proceeded towards imperial city Canberra.
…
11th month, 9th day, 9 AM.
Melbourne’s 100 thousand territory army and the 100 thousand Java reinforcements formed a huge force and set out toward the imperial city.
Facing the Great Xia invasion, Melbourne declared war.
When the imperial city players got the news, although they felt complicated about the Java soldiers and their pride was hit, they did not hold back on their praise for Avera.
“What a brother!” Everyone raised their thumbs up at Avera.
Seeing that 200 thousand troops came to assist, the Australian players instantly became confident. They shouted out, “Destroy Great Xia, protect our home.”
Some rash ones even exited the city to try to disturb the Great Xia Army along the way.
This was a good sign.
On the other side, pretty much at the same time as the Melbourne army exiting the city, the 2nd legion Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the 3rd legion dragon blood cavalry disembarked 20 miles outside of Sydney.
The 5th legion and the Auckland formation were the 3rd batch. They were still in Auckland.
These two cavalry forces did not even enter the city. After disembarking, they did not rest up and disappeared into the wilderness. With the cover of the bolder legion, the entire process was kept from the Sydney civilians.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
It was the 11th month, 10th day. Even with Australian players disturbing them along the way, the 3rd army smoothly arrived 20 miles away from Canberra and started to set up camp.
Although Canberra was located between Sydney and Melbourne, it was not located at the center.
In comparison, Sydney was closer to Canberra. As such, even though the Great Xia forces set off a day later, the current Melbourne army was still a day away.
Regardless of how Avera demanded the army to pick up speed, it did not help.
After the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps arrived outside the city, they were not in a rush to siege. After all, Canberra had 200 thousand guards defending and hundreds of thousands of combat occupation players helping.
If they started the siege unprepared, it might backfire.
The moment the Melbourne army rushed over whilst they siege, all the more would it be a catastrophe.
A nervous day passed by seemingly instantly.
On the morning of the 11th day, the Melbourne army was only half a day away from Canberra. Lord Avera was surrounded in the center. He had a lot of matters on his mind, but he still felt really pumped up.
“To be able to lead such an army, I have no regrets.”
Till date, Avera still had not received news about Great Xia’s second batch of reinforcements, which doubled his confidence. If they could crush the Great Xia Army, it would be an unprecedented feat.
Just as Avera was dreaming about victory, a change occurred.
First, it was the outer sentry scouts that gave out the warning, and then the outer forces were in chaos. Before the main force could react, the rumbling of horse hooves spread out from the horizon and shook the earth.
“Sneak attack! Sneak attack!”
The military formation that they traveled in instantly became messed up.
Avera’s heart sank, and an uneasy feeling rose up in his heart. He rose up on his warhorse, trying his best to focus on the distance. However, in every direction, there were the rumbling sounds of horse hooves.
After a short while, he saw black lines like a flood swiftly crossing the horizon and charging toward the Melbourne army. The aura that this group of cavalry exuded when they charged in unison made one break out in cold sweat.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the black line became a black flood until it swallowed the Melbourne army.
Amongst the black flood, the red war flags were really eye-catching. The golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind, announcing their noble and invincible identities.
Avera’s heart turned cold as he muttered, “Great Xia cavalry. Where did they come from?”
