Chapter 1161 – Anticlimactic

Obviously, Silver Hand got something out of all of this.

Be it the Atlantic Squadron’s fall or the loss of Morocco Province, both were a huge loss to Great Xia and a huge harm to their strength.

Although they still had Jidian City, Great Xia’s influence in the Mediterranean and Atlantic was at its lowest and they could not walk out of the Gibraltar Straits

On this point, Silver Hand’s strategic goal had been met. Through this battle, Silver Hand had also proved their strong position on the global scale.

They were so strong that Great Xia was unable to fight head on against them.

Even then, Silver Hand was not happy, as the four sudden country wars that Great Xia started could very well change the global situation. In comparison, the Battle of Morocco was not much.

Dawson Dynasty, Free City.

Number 1’s expression was a little awkward. Before this, he had mocked Ouyang Shuo for being too young and not being able to hold himself back. Who knew that Great Xia would suddenly trick all of them?

“Hei, we really cannot underestimate the young kids.” Although Number 1 was awkward, he did not worry much.

Out of the four counties that Great Xia attacked, Ethiopia did not belong to Silver Hand nor Azure Badge, while Johor and Piao were Azure Badge members. Only Java was truly a member of Silver Hand.

Looking at the situation, Great Xia did not plan to try to wipe out Java.

Hence, even if Great Xia got what they wanted, the one who loses would be Azure Badge and not Silver Hand. This was something that Number 1 was happy to see.

As a result, when Piao Country sought help from the Peacock Dynasty, Number 1 did not force them to help. Whether they sent reinforcements or not would depend on Durava’s personal judgment.

“Now, it’s time to watch the show in peace!”

Regarding the Battle of Asia, be it the Dawson Dynasty or the House of Tudor, there was nothing that they could do.

While they were getting ready for the show, Number 1 felt envious of Number 2’s good luck.

Looking at the situation, Great Xia going all out on the overseas battlefield meant that they would be empty internally. As long as Great Zhou did not mess up and struck out decisively, they would collect huge gains.

Completing the change of tides against Great Xia was not impossible.

“Hei, they are getting it easy!” Number 1 shook his head helplessly and did not think more about it.

…

Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.

“Is the old fox crazy?”

After learning that Great Xia had started war on four fronts, Di Chen’s first reaction was disbelief.

However, he had to believe it.

Xiong Ba and Chun Shenjun had already proven that the Tiger Legion Corps and Leopard Legion Corps had indeed been move away, and the border defenses were empty. This was a huge temptation to Di Chen.

Should they follow the plan and attack Beijiang Province, or should they go down south right for the core land of Great Xia?

“Go down south!”

Di Chen did not hesitate, as such a chance was hard to come by.

3rd month, 25th day, Great Zhou Pill Sun legion corps, Blood Red legion corps, and King legion corps were ordered to go down south to take Jiangchuan Province and start the China internal war.

The moment the news spread out, the China region players clamored.

“Great Xia is trying to claim land overseas, while Great Zhou stabs them in the back. How despicable!”

“Traitors!”

“Shameless, get out of China!”

All of a sudden, everyone scolded Great Zhou.

Even players who chose to move to Great Zhou felt really ashamed. They had to follow the choice of their guild, but they could not accept such humiliation.

It was tough in reality, but who knew that they would have such a tough time even in the game.

“I’ve had it!”

Some players were unhappy and left their guilds to head toward Great Xia to live. They did not believe that the backstabbers could win against Great Xia.

Of course, more of them were cold-blooded.

The wilderness followed the law of the jungle. Before the war situation became clear, most of the players living in Great Zhou would choose to keep a blind eye.

Some people were even thinking that if Great Zhou succeeded in their sneak attack, they would benefit.

Talking about loyalty to the players would be like playing instruments to cows.

Handan City, palace.

Facing the attacks from the outside world, Di Chen was expressionless. His heart remained as calm as water. He had decided to take all of this, “By choosing this road, I have to bear all the difficulties.”

“Taking this step, he is more or less unwilling.” No one was born a dark person, and if one could be a hero, why would one go against it?

The world was like chess, and everyone was a chess piece.

…

Shanhai City, Xia Palace.

Great Zhou Dynasty declaring war was as Ouyang Shuo had expected.

Ouyang Shuo wondered how Zhan Lang felt as a hidden chess piece of Azure Badge in the Yanhuang Alliance after the two organizations exposed themselves.

He had a home, but he could not return.

The moment Zhan Lang’s identity was exposed, Great Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos.

To Ouyang Shuo, this was a hidden card that could give Great Zhou a fatal blow at a crucial moment. When Zhan Lang was ordered by the former president to be honest with Ouyang Shuo, they probably did not expect things to reach such a stage.

Although the Great Zhou army was entering Jiangchuan Province, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to use the war exempt card. It was not easy to find a chance to incriminate Great Zhou, so why would he give it up?

As for the losses of Jiangchuan Province, it was nothing in comparison.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not wait for long.

26th day, the second day after Great Zhou attacked Jiangchuan Province, Ouyang Shuo used the card.

A golden light shot into the skies like when the territory upgraded, spreading out toward the borders and sweeping to Jiangchuan Province.

The traveling Great Zhou army was stunned on the spot and could not proceed forward.

At the same time, Di Chen received a System Notification.

“System Notification: Great Xia has used the war exempt card, within a month, the neighboring territories cannot declare war on Great Xia. Please retreat, if not, you will have to bear the consequences.”

“….”

Di Chen was shocked. At this moment, his mouth was so wide that one could shove an egg inside it.

“There is such a thing?”

Di Chen was not a fool, and he immediately realized that he had fallen for the old fox’s trick once again. Great Xia dared to move the Tiger and Leopard Legion Corps away because they had nothing to fear. At the same time, they dug a hole for Great Zhou.

Who knew that Di Chen would jump in without hesitation.

Now was great. He did not succeed and was scolded by all the players instead.

“As for disregarding the warnings from Gaia and continuing to advance?”

Not to mention that Di Chen did not have the courage to challenge the authority of Gaia, but the army could not proceed forward even if he wanted them to.

This was the game world; it was different from reality.

Sometimes, an unassuming tool could change the direction of a war.

“What a scheme!”

Di Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as his fingernail dug into his flesh.

Great Zhou started the country war but lost everything in the end, missing this great chance. Who knows whether Di Chen could block the attacks of Great Xia in the future or not.

In the huge dynasty, a storm was brewing.

…

Di Chen’s worry was quickly proven.

Seeing the Great Zhou army leave in defeat, the people who could not take it were the Great Zhou adventure gamemode players who felt that this boat was not stable.

“If we stay, we are going to sink!”

The first to leave were the medium and small-sized guilds; all of them fled toward Great Xia.

Things were not that simple.

The moment players moved into a territory, it was not so easy for them to simply retreat. Before the war began, scattered players leaving was okay, and the Great Zhou Dynasty would not care much.

However, guilds wanting to leave altogether was not possible!

“Those living in Great Zhou are our people, and if they dare to move toward Great Zhou, they are traitors to our nation!” Di Chen said.

Di Chen was ready to smash the can to have a showdown with the players.

One could not blame Di Chen for doing that. If he allowed the players to leave, it would give rise to an even bigger leaving wave. When that happened, even the giant guilds would not be able to suppress the feelings of their members, and they might be forced to leave Great Zhou.

When that happened, Great Zhou would truly be alone.

Without adventure gamemode players helping them in battle, just the beast caves within the border would not be something that Great Zhou could handle.

The moment Di Chen went strong the players submitted.

Facing the territory army, the adventure gamemode players did not possess any advantage. Since the Imperial Court was not willing to release them, they could only remain in Great Zhou. However, the unhappiness in their hearts had been silently buried.

When Ouyang Shuo received news of this, he could not help but praise Di Chen for his actions.

However, if he forcefully suppressed it, he would not be able to suppress it in the end. Ouyang Shuo immediately instructed the Shanhai Guards to use their spies in Great Zhou to make contact with these guilds.

Who knows, maybe they would be of use in the future.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not have much high hopes. These players were like creepers on the war, and they were different from the players who had moved to Great Xia since the start.

If they really came, whether Great Xia would accept them was another problem.

…

Due to the war exempt card, this internal battle in China ended in such an anticlimactic fashion, leaving one’s mouth agape.

After stabilizing the country situation, Ouyang Shuo turned his eyes once again to the overseas battlefield.

Great Xia was fighting one against four, and whether other powers would step in or not was unknown, so it needed to be treated carefully.
