Chapter 87: SSS Hell-level Mission
The leader, "Emperor Zhou of the Dynasty," sat at the head, with a serious expression, furrowing his brows as he spoke sternly:
"Everyone! Just now, I received an invitation from Yuan Shao. He invited our Dynasty to accompany him tomorrow to Luoyang to deal with Dong Zhuo!"
As soon as these words came out, there were various reactions among the crowd.
"Leader, it’s not that we don’t want to go! It’s just that my vitality was severely injured last time, and I still haven’t fully recovered!"
"And Dong Zhuo’s cavalry from Xiliang is too terrifying. We don’t have second-tier units to confront them!"
"Yes, Leader, can we refuse Yuan Shao’s invitation?"
Emperor Zhou glanced around and sighed.
"Refuse? How is that possible? We’ve gained so many benefits from the Yuan family over the years. If we dare refuse now, we’ll definitely end up as the losers."
"Two fierce generals under Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they are both four-star level famous generals!"
"Not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers from Jizhou!"
"Tell me, how can we resist?"
"This time, we have no choice but to go!!!" freēwebnovel.com
After saying this, a sense of sorrow enveloped the meeting hall. During the last campaign against Dong Zhuo, their alliance contributed the most and suffered the most losses. Their vitality hadn’t fully recovered yet.
They naturally didn’t want to start a war, but many times, things were beyond their control.
Just like now, although Emperor Zhou could dominate among the players in Jizhou, in front of Yuan Shao and other big feudal lords, he was somewhat powerless.
Originally, other alliances were not prepared to participate in this campaign, hoping to see the decline of the Dynasty.
But suddenly, an announcement from the Hua Xia Server echoed in the minds of every player.
"Ding! New type of dual-camp task available (can freely choose between two camps):
Task Name: Conquer Dong! (Han Camp)
Task Difficulty: SSS Hell-level
Task Requirement: Eliminate soldiers from Dong Zhuo’s camp! (Ranking based on the number of kills; rewards will be based on the final ranking!)
Task Reward: ??? (Mystery)

Task Name: Resist the Conquerors! (Dong Zhuo Camp)
Task Difficulty: SSS Hell-level
Task Requirement: Eliminate soldiers from the Han camp! (Ranking based on the number of kills; rewards will be based on the final ranking!)
Task Reward: ??? (Mystery)
The rewards for the winning camp will be doubled! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Emperor Zhou, who was initially worried and troubled, heard this news.
The discussion in the alliance intensified as the news of the SSS Hell-level tasks reached the players.
"Wow, why didn’t you mention the rewards earlier! And it’s an SSS Hell-level task, just imagine how rich the rewards could be!"
The other alliances, who initially wanted to watch the show, couldn’t sit still.
"Damn!"
"Isn’t Tomorrow’s Dynasty making a big profit this time, hitching a ride on Yuan Shao’s coattails? They’re likely to be the first in the rankings!"
"But you can’t be sure! Haven’t you forgotten that there’s also Yuan Shu in Nanyang! He’s the legitimate son! In terms of status, he’s much more noble than Yuan Shao!"
"Right! Yuan Shu is highly regarded! Nanyang County is in Yuzhou, and the largest alliance in Yuzhou is ’Wind Rules the World’!"
"And there are rumors that Wind Rises Over the World has already formed an alliance with Yuan Shu! Getting support from Yuan Shu!"
"It seems that Wind Rules the World and Tomorrow’s Dynasty will gain tremendous growth in this opportunity!"
"No matter what, we have to go to Luoyang to witness the heroes and warriors of our Hua Xia Server!"
"But I didn’t expect this task to be so user-friendly. It no longer supports the Han camp like before!"
"Right, I didn’t expect to be able to join Dong Zhuo’s camp. I’ve made up my mind! I’ll enter Luoyang immediately and resist the princes of the Han camp together with Dong Zhuo’s camp!"
"Upstairs, don’t be foolish! Although Dong Zhuo has taken Luoyang, the hearts of the people still belong to Han! Hmph, you’re too naive. With Dong Zhuo holding the capital and the emperor, as long as he issues an imperial decree, those foolish loyalists to the Han camp will have no reason to oppose!"
"Moreover, Dong Zhuo has hundreds of capable ministers and fierce generals under his command! Not to mention his adopted son Lu Bu, who is a five-star general!"
"Damn, the way you put it makes me tempted too! I’ve decided to join Dong Zhuo for a brighter future!"
In Yangzhou, Wujun.
Long Chen leisurely sipped tea, watching the lively discussions in the chat room.
Rubbing his jaw, he murmured, "The campaign against Dong Zhuo has finally come!"
One minute on the stage, ten years of effort off the stage!
After such a long time of bandit suppression, Long Chen’s soldiers had already experienced significant growth. Whether in mastering combat skills or coordinating as a team, they had reached a new height.
As the saying goes, it’s only when the ox is brought to the pot that you know its flavor.
Long Chen was reviewing his Dragon Army, evaluating their strength and comparing it to Dong Zhuo’s powerful generals.
The most important thing was that the difficulty level of this mission was SSS Hell, and one could imagine how rich the final rewards would be!
As for the choice of camp, Long Chen would undoubtedly choose the Han camp without hesitation.
The reason was simple.
Currently, the hearts of the people still belonged to the Han Dynasty. If he joined Dong Zhuo, recruiting talents in the future would be extremely difficult, even with Long Chen’s high charm value.
Moreover, Long Chen had a grudge against Dong Zhuo, who suspected that Long Chen had already taken the young emperor and empress dowager away.
During this time, countless assassins and killers had appeared in Jiujiang County and Wujun!
Fortunately, Long Chen dispatched Xizhi Cai to manage the two counties efficiently, and spies were spread throughout the territories.
It’s not easy for those foreign assassins to safely enter the city. Even if they approach Long Chen’s mansion, they will be intercepted by the five-star super security led by the super guard, Xu Chu!
Currently, within Long Chen’s mansion, Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He have not been discovered by them...
However, Long Chen is more suspicious of figures like Li Ru, so he cannot possibly join Dong Zhuo’s camp!
Just as Long Chen was contemplating when to set off to Suan Zao and meet with other princes for an alliance...
A man burst in, none other than the fierce tiger, Xu Chu!
"My Lord, My Lord! Xu Chu requests an audience!" Xu Chu kneeled.
"Get up, Zhongkang. What brings you here?" Long Chen set aside his book and inquired.
Scratching his head, Xu Chu said, "My Lord! The large egg we brought back from the monster’s lair seems to be about to hatch! There are a few cracks on the eggshell."
Since the last time they brought back that extremely powerful ice attribute giant egg from the monster’s lair, Long Chen had specifically assigned a team of guards to protect it day and night.
All to observe when that giant egg would hatch!
Long Chen had great expectations for that giant egg.
But did Xu Chu just call that egg a what?!
A big duck egg!!
Long Chen’s face darkened, correcting Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, how many times have I said this? That egg is definitely not a duck egg!"
