Free Web NovelChapter 215: The Five-Nation Alliance Approaches, Long Chen Rushes to Aid the Imperial City
The five leaders each selected a city as their initial base.
The five cities were arranged in a "井" pattern, each facing a different direction.
Long Chen’s city faced the west, which meant it was up against Yue Nan Country.
This country didn’t have strong overall combat power, ranking as a mid-level nation among the many countries in Asia.
Therefore, Long Chen felt no pressure.
The one with the most pressure was "Emperor Sword" among the five, as he faced the east, where the powerful Asian nation of Sakura Country was located.
"Danran" and "Emperor Zhou Wang" were in the south, facing many small countries.
Meanwhile, "Zhang Wu Ji," who had previously killed Zhang Bao and obtained the "Peaceful Land Book," was in the north, facing Suliya.
After the representatives from each country were stationed in their respective cities, the official "Grand Lord" website published the deployment and positions of each country’s cities.
This was done to help global viewers better understand the situation in the Continental Selection Matches.
The live broadcasts were heating up, with top live streaming platforms showing "Grand Lord" scenes.
In Huaxia, the country with the largest player base for "Grand Lord," a frenzy erupted.
Professional commentators began their expert analysis.
A middle-aged "successful" man with slicked-back hair, dressed in a deep blue suit, with a neatly tied tie and gold-rimmed glasses, exuded the aura of a high-quality human male.
Smiling, he greeted the viewers, "Hi! Hello, everyone. I’m the commentator, Teacher Zeng."
Next to him was a beautiful female commentator with a curvaceous figure, dressed in an OL style white-collar outfit, also smiling as she greeted.
"Hello, everyone. I’m the commentator, Little E~"
The comment section instantly filled the screen.
"Wow, Teacher Zeng is doing great! He’s now a commentator."
"Of course, Teacher Zeng is a professional who has specialized in studying the game ’Grand Lord,’ having written 589 ten-thousand-word analyses, with 58 of them receiving recognition from authoritative institutions worldwide."
"Indeed, Teacher Zeng is awesome! His professional competence is super high!"
"But that girl is really pretty! She used to be a commentator for Kings of Glory and now she’s switched over."
"Say no more, just watch the girl... ah, I mean, watch the match (dog face)."
The screen then shifted to the vast plains.
Five solitary cities lay under the blue sky and white clouds.
After setting up the internal defenses of their respective cities, Long Chen and the others began discussing their strategic plans.
"Emperor Zhou Wang" slapped the table and spoke first:
"In my opinion, we should gather our forces and first eliminate Sakura Country!"
"If we can destroy Sakura Country, we can rest easy. The other small countries are not worth worrying about."
The others pondered, but Long Chen frowned, shook his head, and calmly said:
"You’re oversimplifying it. Just from the terrain alone, our army will find it difficult to penetrate deep into Sakura Country’s cities."
"Moreover, Sakura Country is strong. Even if we succeed in a direct attack, it would be a costly victory, leaving us both weakened and giving other countries a chance to take advantage."
"If we want to attack them in the future, we need to send scouts to gather intelligence. Attacking rashly is tantamount to handing them our heads!"
Long Chen’s well-reasoned words left Emperor Zhou Wang speechless.
Finally, Emperor Zhou Wang said, sulking, "Then... then what should we do now?"
"The Sakura Country to the east is a significant threat to us. If we don’t eliminate them, there’s a high chance they’ll ambush us when we go to conquer other countries!"
As Long Chen was about to speak, a scout burst into the tent, looking panicked:
"Lord, generals! We are under attack!"
"Emperor Sword" immediately stood up, his face serious, and asked:
"Don’t panic. Tell us in detail, which country’s forces are attacking and which city is under attack?"
The scout, being Emperor Sword’s subordinate, had the greatest reaction.
The scout said anxiously:
"It’s... it’s Sakura Country. They are attacking our city!"
"The enemy numbers around 150,000 troops. Our city walls are severely damaged. Please, my lord, return quickly to manage the situation!"
"Alright! I will go at once!"
"Emperor Sword" turned to the others, cupping his fists, and said:
"With the enemy upon us, I must return to defend. I hope you all can send some reinforcements."
Long Chen stepped forward without hesitation, cupping his fists, and said, "I will go with you!"
"Emperor Sword" showed gratitude in his clear eyes, cupping his fists in return:
"Thank you, Brother Long."
"But if you come with me, what about your city’s defense?"
Long Chen waved it off and said, "No problem, my generals will handle it."
As the others were about to speak and offer reinforcements, more scouts burst into the tent.
It turned out that not only had Sakura Country launched a surprise attack on Huaxia, but also Suliya to the north, Yue Nan Country to the west, and several small countries to the south had simultaneously initiated attacks.
In an instant, Huaxia found itself in a dire crisis.
The audience outside clenched their fists tightly.
"Conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy! Those damn Sakura invaders actually colluded with other countries to launch a joint attack."
"Yeah! The timing of these countries’ attacks is so close, they must have received benefits from Sakura Country to act like this!"
"It seems these countries are determined to eliminate us, Huaxia, first... sigh!"
At this moment, as the commentator, Teacher Zeng, also wore a worried expression, analyzing with concern:
"The current situation is very unfavorable for our Huaxia contestants!"
"The Five Nations Alliance has launched a ’dumpling-style’ siege against our Huaxia players, greatly limiting the strength of each team member."
"And Sakura Country will act like a dagger, thrusting into our heart from the east!!!"
"Huaxia is in danger! Now, it depends on Captain ’Listening to Wind with Sword’ how to deal with this situation."
As "Listening to Wind with Sword" ranked first in Huaxia, his title was undisputedly deserved. Moreover, Long Chen was the most calm and decisive among these team members.
Except for Emperor Zhou Wang’s dissatisfaction, the other three were all convinced.
At present, faced with this sudden crisis, Long Chen remained unchanged.
He spoke, "Each of you return to defend your own cities. As for Sakura Country’s aggression, I will personally lead the troops to support."
"But... your city will also face attacks from Yue Nan Country!"
Long Chen waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I have a plan!"
"Now time is of the essence, you should all quickly return to defend your cities!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
With that said,
everyone left their seats.
Under the sunlight, Long Chen’s silver armor appeared particularly dazzling.
But what was even more striking was Long Chen’s performance.
At present, Long Chen’s strong sense of responsibility and commitment as the team captain was highly appreciated by the audience.
"Team Long is awesome!!!"
"With Team Long around, those Japanese invaders are sure to fail and flee!!"
"But... now it’s the Five Nations Alliance! Even if Long Chen is strong, he can’t withstand so many enemy troops attacking at once!"
"Two fists are no match for four hands. I think our country might be the first to be eliminated this time..."
"Hey, upstairs, did you eat shit for breakfast or just sniff it? Your mouth stinks so bad!"
"Don’t forget, under Team Long’s command, there are many fierce generals. Now with Huaxia’s number one fierce general, Lu Bu, how could we fear those Japanese bandits!"
...
Back at his stationed city, Long Chen immediately gathered his subordinates.
He briefly explained the situation and then issued orders:
"Zilong, Fuxian, the two of you each take your Tiger Guard and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to support ’Emperor City.’"
"’Emperor City’ was named by Emperor Sword himself, and Long Chen named his city ’Dragon City.’"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu both cupped their fists in acceptance, then hurried to the barracks to gather their soldiers.
Following that, Long Chen instructed Dian Wei and Xu Chu, "During my absence, you must strictly follow the strategist’s orders!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After instructing them, Long Chen looked solemnly at the slender Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao, I leave this place in your hands."
Guo Jia held a feather fan and smiled calmly, "My lord, rest assured. With me here, those foreigners won’t dare to enter the city."
After a pause, Guo Jia looked up at the sky, his brows relaxing as he pointed into the distance and smiled:
"My lord, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and misfortune can turn into fortune."
"Although the Five Nations Alliance is aggressively threatening us, isn’t this also an opportunity for us to break the deadlock?"
At these words, a spark of determination flashed in Long Chen’s eyes, surprised as he asked:
"Fengxiao, do you mean... we have a chance to break free from being surrounded by the pack of wolves?"
"Not only that, we might even turn the tables on them!"
...
...
Emperor City.
Dark clouds covered the sky, with continuous drizzle making the once bright plains appear gloomy.
"Bagara Ruta! Bagara Ruta!!"
"Kill them all!! Kill these damn dogs!!!"
The Sakura Country officer on a short-legged horse shouted angrily, the cold light of his Japanese katana flickering in his hand.
The atmosphere was heavy with bloodlust.
"Lord Hell’s Eye, our grand Sakura Imperial Army has stormed the walls of ** City, and both sides have engaged in close combat."
Hell’s Eye, clad in a dark purple samurai outfit, wore a cruel smile.
"Well done!"
"Spread the orders, deploy another 30,000 warriors to attack the city. We must seize the first merit by midnight tonight! (Sakura language)"
"Hmph, tonight I will make Asia and even the whole world remember us, the great Sakura Country! (Sakura language)"
"As for Huaxia **... they will become my stepping stone!!! It’s their honor... (Sakura language)"
Hell’s Eye began to grin maliciously, coldly watching as Huaxia soldiers continued to fall from the distant city walls.
His top general, Musashi Miyamoto, was currently wreaking havoc atop the walls.
Musashi Miyamoto wielded dual swords, a solid golden samurai sword in his left hand occasionally emitting bursts of aura.
Unstoppable and sharp, the aura directly sent ordinary defenders flying.
In his right hand, a curved sword entirely blue, crackling with electricity and lightning.
The astonishing might was evident!
"Dual sword style!!"
Swish!
Swish swish swish!!!
Musashi Miyamoto moved like a fleeting shadow, his eerie technique constantly weaving among the soldiers.
Within seconds, nearby soldiers would have deep, bone-deep bloody scars on their necks or chests.
"Emperor’s Sword" looked solemnly at Musashi Miyamoto, a frenzy of emotions surging within.
This man’s strength was no less than my top general, Guan Hai!
Perhaps even stronger!
As Musashi Miyamoto killed approaching Sakura warriors with a single stroke, "Emperor’s Sword" shouted loudly:
"Guan Hai!!! Where are you!!?"
Boom——
A loud noise shook the sky, causing the city walls to tremble.
A vigorous roar erupted,
"My lord, be cautious, Guan Hai is here!!!"
A tall man of over nine feet descended abruptly, a deep yellow war blade slashing down, unleashing a massive blade aura.
Terrifying waves of energy swept out, immediately sending a hundred Sakura warriors in front flying.
The energy didn’t stop and continued to disturb the area until it reached Musashi Miyamoto.
Musashi Miyamoto kicked with his right leg, flipping cleanly in mid-air three times, slashing with both swords.
The golden blade and the electrified blade aura formed a diagonal cross slash, instantly flying out.
Boom——
The air shattered as these two forces intertwined.
The terrifying shockwave sent soldiers from both sides nearby flying, their internal organs shattered.
In the end, Musashi Miyamoto’s strength prevailed, breaking through Guan Hai’s deep yellow blade aura and striking straight at him.
Guan Hai’s formidable battle sense instantly formed a reflex, decisively blocking the sword in front of him.
Bang——
His body flew backwards five or six steps before coming to a stop.
Guan Hai looked in astonishment at Musashi Miyamoto in the distance, waves surging in his heart.
"Who is this person, able to match me in strength!"
"And what’s even more shocking is his mastery of techniques, so exquisite."
All of this took a long time to describe, but it happened in just a few moments.
Seeing that Guan Hai wasn’t easily defeated like other soldiers, Musashi Miyamoto’s cold eyes finally showed a glint of excitement.
"Heh, finally encountered an opponent who can fight... (Sakura language)"
"Otherwise, this battle would have been too boring... (Sakura language)"
Guan Hai didn’t understand a word of Musashi Miyamoto’s words, scratching his head and shouting:
"Granny’s bear, what are you saying in bird language!!!"
He directly stepped forward in one stride, concentrating all his strength on the deep yellow war blade.
"Ha! Brat, go to hell!!!"
Hundreds of deep yellow blade auras burst out, imposing and intimidating, even making Musashi Miyamoto furrow his brows.
Then, with a grin on his face, he adopted a bizarre stance, suddenly flying a third samurai sword from his waist.
He bit it steadily in his mouth, murmuring:
"Actually forced me to use the Triple Sword Style! Baga Yara Road!!!"
Three dazzling golden sword lights shot out in an instant, directly slicing the approaching hundreds of deep yellow blade auras in half.
Although Guan Hai was greatly shocked, he gritted his teeth tightly, his body drawing near, forcing Musashi Miyamoto into close combat.
However,
Musashi Miyamoto’s sword speed was unbelievably fast, allowing Guan Hai to narrowly escape several times.
Coupled with his strength being comparable, in just thirty rounds, Guan Hai was already somewhat overwhelmed.
Far away, "Emperor’s Sword," who was fighting hard, showed a look of despair.
"Even my strongest four-star general, Guan Hai, can’t defeat Musashi Miyamoto, Hell’s Eye..."
"What should we do next..."
On top of the Imperial City, more and more Sakura warriors and soldiers stood on the city walls.
The morale of Huaxia soldiers dropped significantly, fighting and retreating. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The audience watching the live stream was furious.
"Damn it, is Emperor’s Sword even capable? How did he rank in the top five of Huaxia’s server with this level of skill?"
"If you’re so good, why don’t you step up! Everyone online calls themselves the War God of Huaxia (disdain)."
"Damn, look at this situation, it seems like we’re about to lose a city first! Ah..."
"If we lose a city first, then Huaxia will basically have no chance of making it to the top three."
Teacher Zeng timely clarified for the audience, his expression now darkened.
"After all, seeing the representative of our country being overshadowed by Sakura and other countries, who can watch this calmly?"
"Damn it, this intercontinental tournament is even stirring up the anti-Japanese sentiment!"
...
Hell’s Eye saw that the Imperial City was about to be conquered by him soon, revealing a long-lost smile, but it looked sinister no matter how you viewed it.
"Let’s go, Hattori Hanzo, follow me to finish off the remnants and prepare to continue deep into Huaxia, take another city!"
A tall man behind him responded in a low voice, "Hai!"
This man was dressed in a black ninja outfit, his face covered with a black mask, only revealing a pair of icy eyes.
Just when everyone thought the situation was settled,
Boom boom boom——
The thunderous sound of hooves from afar rolled like a tidal wave.
Hell’s Eye’s keen senses, unlike ordinary people’s, first detected the anomaly and looked back.
This glance almost made his eyeballs pop out.
"Nari!!!"
"What’s happening?"
They saw shadows rising on the horizon behind their army, glowing brightly in the setting sun.
And these shadows gradually enlarged in the eyes of the Sakura soldiers.
Someone woke up from shock and shouted abruptly!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Only then did the army react, quickly turning around, but due to the lack of unified command.
The angle, speed, and timing of each soldier’s turn were different, causing numerous collisions.
The originally orderly formation thus became chaotic.
Hell’s Eye acted decisively, quickly organizing the officers in the army to regroup and attempt to restore the formation.
However,
Something bad happened, the distant army was getting closer and closer.
The newcomers were all cavalry, including howls of wolves, their voices chilling.
Their eerie green eyes were icy and bloody.
A tall commander’s flag was raised high,
On it was the word "Dragon," shaped like a flying dragon, terrifying to behold.
On either side of the word "Dragon" were "Pioneer General" and "Champion Marquis."
Very imposing!!!
This scene was also seen by the entire Huaxia audience, the focus immediately shifted from the battle on the city wall to the Dragon’s army.
"Ah ah ah!! It’s Long Chen! It’s Long Chen hubby~~ I love you, Long Chen hubby~~"
"At this moment, he has become light!!!"
"The savior has arrived!! I never expected that at this critical moment, Yijian Tingfeng would actually appear behind the Sakura army in such an unimaginable way."
Commentator Teacher Zeng suddenly stood up from his chair at this moment, his eyes containing a hint of tears.
"Ah! It’s actually Yijian Tingfeng! As the backbone of Huaxia, he appears before everyone just before what seemed like a certain defeat."
"Let’s all cheer for Yijian Tingfeng!"
"Alright, back to the point, the location where Yijian Tingfeng appears is crucial. Like a sharp sword just an inch away from the neck of Sakura Country, ready to cut their veins at any moment..."
"However, what worries people more is that Yijian Tingfeng only brought ten thousand troops, while his opponent Hell’s Eye has a full fifty thousand troops!"
"Excluding the warriors already attacking the city, facing five times the number of Sakura troops really makes one admire Dragon’s team for their courage and daring..."
...
...
"Nari! How could it be him?! Wasn’t he supposed to be held back by Vietnam? Could it be that those Vietnam monkeys broke their promise?"
Hell’s Eye’s mind was filled with a series of questions, but the immediate concern was still resolving the current situation.
"Form up! Form up!!"
Dozens of seconds passed, and the numerous Sakura warrior legions still hadn’t formed up.
But Long Chen’s army was gradually approaching, about a thousand steps away.
"Hattori Hanzo, lead my three thousand Ghost Warriors to charge forward, resist for a while, and buy time for the army to regroup!"
"Hai!"
Hattori Hanzo in the black ninja robe nodded, then drew a shimmering silver samurai sword from his back, exuding a strong killing intent.
Mounting his horse, behind him were three thousand Ghost Warriors clad in black robes.
If you observed closely, you would notice traces of black aura emanating from them.
The gloom was too heavy; if ordinary soldiers faced them, their spiritual senses would be hindered, immersed in ghostly affairs, thereby breeding fear.
They would easily be killed by these third-tier special troops—Ghost Warriors.
"Hmph! Long Chen, huh? I’ve heard you’re Huaxia’s number one, while I am Sakura Country’s number one. Today, I’ll make you bow beneath my feet!!"
"This self-talk was naturally heard by the audience in the live broadcast room, and each of them was furious.
"Damn it, you *****! Mother *****!"
A series of swear words that would be censored burst out, cursing from ancestors to descendants...
"Long Chen is in danger! The Sakura Army has more than fifty thousand troops!"
"Sigh... Was this sudden attack a bit reckless?"
"Can those upstairs say something nicer and quietly watch my Dragon Team beat the crap out of them!"
...
The lightning on Long Chen’s Horned Dragon Spear gradually radiated, his flawless features shining vividly in the thunder’s reflection.
He attracted a female fan, but these details were not the focus.
The important thing was that Long Chen was about to clash with the unmatched army of "Hell Ghost Eye"!
"My lord, let me deal with that leader!"
Lü Bu, holding his Halberd of the Azure Sky, pointed towards the front where Fūma Kotarō stood and spoke.
