Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 214: Cherry Blossom Country’s Shady Dealings!

In Jingzhou,

The leader of "Wuji" alliance, "Danran," chose his subordinates Xing Daorong, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong.

He also selected the four-star strategist Jiang Wan and others.

These four promising players from Huaxia were all prepared and just waiting for the final moment to enter that illusory realm.

Meanwhile, Long Chen had already made his choices.

For military commanders, he had Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu, with strategist Guo Jia.

As for the 50,000 troops, Long Chen opted for Zhao Yun to lead the Tiger Elite Corps, a 3,200-strong second-tier unit.

Lu Bu commanded the 10,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, including 3,000 elite wolf riders and 7,000 regular wolf riders.

Dian Wei led the 17,000 elite infantry from Danyang, capable of defending cities and confronting enemies outside.

Dian Wei was renowned as the strongest infantry commander, and his leadership of foot soldiers was exceptionally powerful.

Xu Chu commanded 15,000 Yellow Turban Warriors, while Long Chen himself led 5,000 Yellow Turban Warriors.

The basic tier of these troops was above second-tier, showcasing astonishing combat prowess, enhanced further by Long Chen’s legendary attribute "Dragon and Phoenix Among Men."

Under his command, the combat effectiveness of foot soldiers was boosted by 30%, making their battle strength even more terrifying.

Because of these factors, Long Chen was extremely confident in leading his Huaxia team to victory.

Just then, the system’s metallic voice sounded again, transmitting into the minds of every participating lord in the continental selection matches.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

...

...

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Ding! 100% authentic world replication in progress..."

"Ding! Allocation of cities for participating countries in major continents..."

"Ding..."

After an unknown amount of time, Long Chen felt as if there were two buzzing bees constantly buzzing in his ears.

Opening his eyes, he saw a vast and boundless plain.

Before he could speak, he already heard his teammates’ voices.

"Damn it! This is a setup! Why is Huaxia’s luck so bad!"

"Look, all five of our Huaxia cities are on such flat plains, with no retreat and right in the center of each country. Isn’t this just letting them dictate terms to us?"

Emperor Sword’s voice was filled with infinite despair.

With both hands covering his face, his complexion turned pale. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Huang Chao King" frowned and looked worriedly at the initial cities of Huaxia.

Helplessly, he said, "According to the intelligence gathered by my clan, the host of this Asian Continental Selection Match is Sakura Country!"

"They are responsible for these initial allocation mechanisms, and there’s something fishy that outsiders are unaware of..."

The hot-tempered "Zhang Wuji" directly cursed:

"Damn it, these little Japanese bastards in Sakura Country are living well, the most cunning and deceitful bunch."

"They must know that our Huaxia is their strongest opponent this time, so they deliberately placed us in such a terrible geographical position."

"Danan," dressed in a white robe, said calmly:

"Since it’s come to this, there’s no use in saying more. We might as well first see the current situation of our cities."

Long Chen nodded approvingly at Danan’s words, thinking to himself, "This guy isn’t bad. Instead of being blinded by anger, he immediately focused on the key issues."

"Hmph! What are you nodding for? Aren’t you the number one in Huaxia? Do you have any brilliant ideas?" Emperor Zhou Wang raised his head and asked Long Chen, looking at him askance.

He had long been dissatisfied with Long Chen. Just now, Long Chen only nodded to Danan, obviously not taking his words seriously.

With a cold snort, Long Chen said, "Now that we’re facing a major enemy, I don’t have time to argue with you. If you want to fight, we can do it after the Continental Selection Match ends."

After his words fell, he then addressed the rest of the three with a gentle tone:

"From my brief observation just now, our position is right in the center of the entire map, on one of the large plains."

"To the north, the terrain is desert and wilderness, and the ownership of the five cities belongs to Syria."

"To the east, the terrain is hilly and mountainous, with steep and difficult terrain, easy to defend and hard to attack, belonging to Sakura Country."

"As for the west, it’s forested terrain, belonging to Vietnam."

"As for the south, it’s a coastline stretching thousands of miles, including a large number of other Asian countries, countless in number. However, it’s certain that these countries are not strong!"

After this analysis, Long Chen’s influence within the team clearly rose significantly.

While Long Chen and his team were meticulously analyzing and strategizing in the game world, in the real world, the live broadcast of the Continental Selection Matches had ignited global interest.

Because "Grand Lord," this game, was jointly produced by some of the world’s most powerful gaming companies, the publicity for the "World Supreme Tournament" was on par with events like the World Cup and the Olympics.

As a result, roughly eighty to ninety percent of the global population was paying attention to this event, excluding only those in extremely impoverished or war-torn countries.

Upon learning about Huaxia’s initial position, the audience in Huaxia directly began criticizing Sakura Country.

"Damn! These guys really love pulling strings!"

"Sakura Country is resorting to these tricks just to win the Continental Selection Matches. It makes me so furious!"

"Yeah, I wish I could slap them in the face. Damn it, Huaxia starts on the vast plains, surrounded by strong neighboring countries."

"Meanwhile, Sakura Country is in such a defensible position, surrounded by weaker nations on all sides. It’s incredibly easy for them to conquer and even touch Huaxia’s cities."

"Seriously... This manipulation is so damn obvious!"

"It’s not just us Huaxia people who can’t stand this; players from other countries around the world can’t either."

"Sigh... Let’s hope our hero, Listening to Wind, can work another miracle!"

"It’s tough. I think this manipulation is too severe this time. Look at this... what kind of fair play is this!"

When Long Chen, on the big screen, didn’t show an angry expression like the other teammates but instead encouraged everyone to unite and face the challenge together, he warmed the hearts of the people in his country.

"Wow, so touching! Listening to Wind has such a broad vision and perspective. Unlike Emperor Zhou Wang, who still thinks about internal strife at this critical time."

"Yeah! If the Southern Song Dynasty hadn’t been in turmoil internally, Yue Fei might still have had a chance to save the Southern Song!"

"That Emperor Zhou Wang really lives up to his name, a foolish ruler!"

In the game, Emperor Zhou Wang was unaware of how badly he was being criticized by the audience.
