Chapter 892 – Keep Pace With

6th month, 19th day, Shanhai City.

Three days of battle preparation time. Ouyang Shuo, apart from preparing for the Battle of Fei, had also paid close attention to the Mediterranean negotiation process.

With Queen Kalia helping out as well as Zi Luolan making promises based on the Great Xia Dynasty Atlantic Squadron not passing through the Mediterranean Ocean, only then did negotiations restart.

However, in terms of conditions, the Mediterranean Lords became stricter, infuriating Zi Luolan.

Ouyang Shuo sent a letter to her, telling her to calm down and bear it. She did not need to immediately get an outcome, and it was best if it dragged on and this turned into a marathon negotiation.

Alvaro had already led the 4th and 5th divisions of the Atlantic Squadron toward Africa’s Cape of Good Hope.

The moment the Atlantic Squadron appeared in the Gulf of Aden would be the moment when the tables were turned.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo was not anxious at all.

Within the three days, another huge thing happened in Shanhai City.

Just yesterday, the Rabat Satellite City bidding led by the Industrialization Department came to an end. The winners were a guild alliance made up of five large guilds in Xianyang.

The five guilds formed the Jiangshan Alliance. With a 4.5 million gold bid, 7% alliance shares and 50% tax as conditions to become the guardian, they jumped up to become yet another super guild in China.

Based on custom, under the request of the Jiangshan Alliance, the Great Xia Dynasty sold them 2% of the Four Seas Bank shares for three million gold.

Compared to the first round of investment, the Four Seas Bank share prices had risen by 50%.

It seemed like the Blood Evil Mercenary Guild in Xianyang was too strong and forced out the other guilds there.

Of course, to the Jiangshan Alliance, this step back was a good decision.

In the latter half of the 4th year of Gaia, guild mergers intensified. Along with more people gathering in satellite cities, the strong guilds would grow stronger and stronger.

To the other guilds, to rebuild and reorganize was a great decision.

The prerequisite would be that one had a Satellite City.

In the current game environment, if one was not a guardian of a Satellite City, no matter how big the guild was, it would not rise.

There were only two ways to get new satellite cities, one was to upgrade to Capital City, and the other was to destroy a country. In the case of Capital City, no one had hopes of that for now, so one could only look forward to country destruction.

Hence, many guilds tried to get into the good books of the Great Xia Dynasty. These guilds who failed this time were aiming for the next bid.

Everyone in China knew that the Great Xia Dynasty was the best country war machine.

Ouyang Shuo did not express any views, as he was not interested in forming alliances with these guilds. You want to be the guardian? Simple; use money to exchange for it.

Months ago, Ouyang Shuo had done his homework on the Battle of Fei River. He had analyzed this battle really thoroughly and understood every aspect of this battle.

The Yellow Court Scripture that Ouyang Shuo wanted to get was the highest reward of the East Jin camp. Hence, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to choose the East Jin camp.

If not, Ouyang Shuo would want to try the former Qin camp to try and turn history around.

In Ouyang Shuo’s eyes, with players, the former Qin camp could turn it around. As long as they stabilized the situation and did not allow it to collapse, they had the numerical advantage, and it was difficult for East Jin.

Luckily, Feng Qiuhuang and the others had a sense of camaraderie. Learning that Ouyang Shuo chose the East Jin camp, they did not say anything and swapped sides to fight together.

Ouyang Shuo had already released word on the forums about the camp he was choosing.

If the Yanhuang Alliance chose the East Jin camp too, this battle would be pointless. Since Ouyang Shuo made it public, Di Chen had no choice but to join the former Qin camp.

As for how the other Lords would choose, Ouyang Shuo did not really care.

Although on the forums there were people who read it as: along with the fight between the Great Dynasty and Yanhuang Alliance intensifying, the Chuanbei City-State and Xiangnan City-State would start to have internal cracks, and they would begin to align themselves with one side. The Battle of Fei River was a test.

Ouyang Shuo felt baffled at that.

The players were a little too simple. Without a doubt, both sides had chess pieces in the two City-States, but no one would be so dumb to expose them in the Battle Map.

If one tried to guess the other party’s chess pieces through their camp choices, they would be in for a huge loss.

The battle of the China region wilderness was where a few people were standing out. The complicated matters within were not something normal people could understand.

Unknowingly, a new batch of elites was born in the game, standing out from the rest.

9 AM, the System Notification sounded out on time.

“System Notification: 383 AD, the former Qin emperor Fu Jian insisted on conquering East Jin, resulting in huge defeat, the empire crushed. 7th Battle Map – Battle of Fei River – officially begins!”

“Checking requirements, selecting forces, choosing camp…”

For the 100 thousand troops sent this time, Ouyang Shuo chose the 2nd legion of the Guards Legion Corps, Yashan Squadron 1st division, Navy Headquarters marine force, along with the three thousand Divine Martial Guards and a Flying Squad. Basically, he used up all 100 thousand slots this time.

Some of the marines had already completed their training in the special force base and would undergo actual battle training.

Ouyang Shuo bringing them along this time was to give them real war experience.

The Flying Squad had already become the Great Xia Dynasty’s symbol. Even if it did not cause effective damage, it would still be a good scouting tool at the very least.

After all the checks, a System Notification spread out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.

“System Notification: Teleportation begin!”

“System Notification: Welcome player Qiyue Wuyi to the main camp of East Jin – Fei River east shore.”

“Fei River east shore!”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned. Based on the war progression in history, if the East Jin was on the east shore, then Gaia had skipped all the front stuff and thrown them into the lost crucial moment.

This moment was when both sides had a standoff on the Fei River, and war could break out at any time.

The Fei River came out of Feixi and Shou County’s Jiangjunling, splitting into two streams, toward the northwest into the Huai River, and southeast into the Chaohu Lake.

The place where the battle broke out was the southeast stream that was not really wide. The water coming down from Jiangjunling flowed down calmly.

As a result, the East Jin army could cross the river so easily.

He did not have time to think too much, so he first completed the registration. After that, he met up with the others. During this teleportation, the Guards Legion Corps 2nd legion and the Divine Martial Guards appeared in the barracks, while the Yashan Squadron 1st division, marines, and Flying Squad all appeared in the Huai River along with the East Jin navy.

Ouyang Shuo believed that Xiong Ba, Zhan Lang, and Di Chen would bring along their own navies in case the Yashan Squadron controlled the ocean rights.

The Battle of Fei River in history was one that the navy did not have much of a part to play in. However, because of player squadrons, many more changes would occur.

Quickly, many player forces teleported one by one into the Battle Map.

Just as Ouyang Shuo and Feng Qiuhuang gathered, a System Notification sounded out.

“Battle Notification: Battle of Fei River, a total of 30 Lords. East Jin camp 13 Lords, 370 thousand men; former Qin camp 17 Lords, 400 thousand men.

For the Battle of Fei River, all the Lords made it.

Lords of the 2nd grade prefectures had all reached 2nd class Marquis and could bring 20 thousand troops into the Battle Map. They had the ability to change the outcome of the battle and were not just cannon fodder. Moreover, the wilderness battle had intensified, and the Lords that had survived did not want to give up on any chance to earn merit points.

Additionally, the overall strengths of the two sides were equal. The former Qin camp had a little more people because their alliance had a total of seven people.

In comparison, the Shanhai Alliance only had four members left.

Out of the 370 thousand troops in East Jin, Shanhai Alliance took up 190 thousand. Apart from Gong Chengshi, who brought purely infantry, the rest brought mostly cavalry.

Similarly, Yanhuang Alliance accounted for 200 thousand, half of the former Qin force.

This also showed that future Battle Maps would be dictated by the two alliances.

“Battle Notification: East Jin camp is weaker than the former Qin camp. Based on Battle Map rules, East Jin camp automatically obtains a 5% defense buff.”

Since the difference in numbers between the two sides was not that great, the buff effect was really weak. Adding 5% defense probably would not have much of an effect.

The only thing would be that the casualties on the East Jin side would be a little less.

“Battle Notification: based on title and merit points, East Jin player representative is Qiyue Wuyi. Former Qin representative is Di Chen, 1st class Marquis.”

Currently, Di Chen still had the highest amount of merit points among the Yanhuang Alliance. He had even widened the gap with Chun Shenjun, catching up with Feng Qiuhuang.

Who knows? Maybe Handan City could become the second Capital City in China.
