The middle troops easily occupied Xinzhou Bay without much effort, as there were no opposing naval troops in the bay. Moreover, the fishing boats and the other boats had stopped work when the war started.

The usually busy bay was exceedingly cold today.

After taking a short rest, the middle troops officially launched their attack on Lion City. Yanhuo Yaonie chose to use the river passages to approach the city walls.

The Ming Dynasty cannons could only shoot directly forward, but with the warship as a base, it was enough to damage the guards on top of the city wall. On the contrary, the arrows from the guards did minimal damage.

After less than an hour of fighting, the guards were already on the losing end. Seeing that the enemy was relying on their cannons once more, the Singaporean players watching from the city walls were so furious that they gritted their teeth.

Luckily, the strategy of the guards was rather quick and flexible, they would not gather on the walls as living targets. Seeing that they stood no chance and had no effective way to hurt the enemy, the guards on the south wall immediately retreated.

Obviously, the guards were prepared to fight in the middle of the city.

One had to say that this strategy was truly smart. The middle troops, who had smoothly entered Lion City through the river passages, felt stunned when they looked at the spot where the streets and river intersected.

"General, where do we fire at?" A soldier ran over.

"Aim directly at the palace!" Yanhuo Yaonie ordered.

Similar to attacking territories, as long as one destroyed the stone steele in the imperial palace, one would be considered the victor of the country war. Of course, for a country like China with nine imperial cities, you would have to destroy them all.

If not, why would some call China an undefeatable presence.

Yanhuo Yaonie's idea was great. Unfortunately, the river passages turned away outside of the palace. Hence, it was impossible for him to directly carry the cannons to the gates of the palace.

With that, the middle troops had to head deep into enemy territory, a spot where going forward and retreating were both difficult.

Yanhuo Yaonie's face flashed with a hard to detect awkwardness.

Similarly, be it the guards or the players in the city, they did not dare to approach the enemy warships in the river, as they were afraid of being blown up.

Both sides ended up in a weird standoff just like that.

Such a standoff was extremely good for Singapore. A lack of enough time worried Chen Guang the most. He would rather the situation stay like this all the way till reinforcements arrived.

At noon, Ouyang Shuo met up with the east troops and arrived at Xinzhou Bay.

"Lord, the middle troops seem like they are facing a situation, how should we act?" Zheng He asked.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and emotionlessly ordered, "Attack!" At the stage, the country war should come to an end, and any plan or scheme was to help it reach such a point.

"Understood!" Zheng He nodded.

Immediately, the east troops sailed along the river and similarly entered Lion City. Half an hour later, the two squadrons regrouped in the river, blocking it up.

"Lord!"

A short while later, Yanhuo Yaonie rushed to Dragon Head to greet Ouyang Shuo with an ashamed expression.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he gave a slight smile,"General there's no need to, just fight the war well." He could understand Yanhuo Yaonie's anxiousness and guilt, but he did not think too much about it.

"Thank you, Lord!" Yanhuo Yaonie nodded his head solemnly.

After a simple greeting, the three of them started to discuss specific battle plans.

Pei Donglai would take charge of the river passage and command the entire squadron to maintain their threat against the territory. At the same time, a portion of archers would be left to cover the cannoneers.

The remaining forty thousand troops would disembark and form up. At this point, the only thing that they could do was fight.

Apart from a proper army, there was also the five thousand men servant army that Zheng He had brought along.

At this stage, it was time for them to show their use. They would place the servant army right at the front to act as a barrier for the archers behind. In the middle stood the sword-shield soldiers, the main force of this battle, while the handgun forces and archers would stand further behind.

As for the cannons, they had no place in this battle.

After the army formed up, they directly charged toward the imperial palace gates.

The guards were already alert, and ten thousand players had also gathered with them. As for the work occupation players and the civilians, they had headed home to avoid being wrapped up in the flames of war.

Forty thousand men with archers as their core to fight against fifty thousand elites, this was going to be a tough fight. If he did not have the one thousand divine martial Guards, Ouyang Shuo definitely would not dare take up this challenge.

Of course, the five thousand servant army that Zheng He recruited was also a brilliant move, a god stroke. The players did not have any thoughts or worries about the servant army; however, they cared about their comrades.

But the guards were different. In their eyes, players and natives were the same. Hence, looking at the servant army in front of them, they were caught off guard.

This lapse granted some valuable time for the archers and handgun forces on the back lines. Each minute, each second, they could inflict huge damage.

When the players saw the situation, under Chen Guang's instructions, they actually started to aim and kill the servant army, hence releasing the guards from their moral dilemma. One had to say that this was truly a vicious move.

In less than an hour, the five thousand men servant army fell.

The true war had just begun.

Both sides fought until the sun started to set, the flowing blood forming a river.

The most eye-catching ones on the battlefield were naturally the Divine Martial Guards led by Ouyang Shuo. Even the guards seemed much weaker than them.

Such an iron army could do whatever they wished against the enemy; they were an invincible presence.

During this battle, Ouyang Shuo met a strong opponent, Chen Guang.

As the guild leader of the Temasek Mercenary Guild and also the best adventure gamemode expert in Singapore, his strength could not be underestimated.

Right at the start of the battle, Chen Guang took the initiative to find Ouyang Shuo for a decisive battle.

"Qiyue Wuyi, if you're a man, fight with me." Chen Guang asked to fight.

Ouyang Shuo laughed, he knew that Chen Guang wanted to distract him to prevent him from commanding the Divine Martial Guards. However, he did not mind; he waved his Tianmo Spear, accepting the challenge.

If it was before this voyage, Ouyang Shuo would have hesitated. But after his fortuitous encounter on the desolate island, the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique had climbed to the 11th layer. In this short period of time, his combat strength had rocketed.

Till date, his combat strength rating had already reached the middle gold grade, and he was just two grades away from the low dark gold grade. The top-ranking expert in his last life had only reached such a level.

Chen Guang's rating definitely would not exceed high-silver grade.

As the two fought on, Ouyang Shuo was confident of taking him down within thirty rounds. Chen Guang wanted to hold him up, while Ouyang Shuo wanted to slay him and totally crush the morale of the players.

The weapon that Chen Guang wielded was the most orthodox sword, and it was also a god weapon. The name of the sword was ‘Starlight’; the only god weapon in Singapore.

God Weapon.

Chen Guang had obtained this Starlight Sword through the system auction.

In terms of game balance, Gaia had done extremely well. The system auction was something that every country had. At the same time, the ranks of the items were different.

As the biggest region in the game, a god weapon had appeared in China during the 2nd system auction. What appeared during the 3rd system auction was an overpowered set like the god weapon set.

However, if a player in a small country like Singapore had a weapon rank similar to the China region, it would be exceedingly unfair to them. This was because their player numbers were not on the same level.

Hence, the Starlight Sword only appeared during their 3rd system auction, and it was also the most pinnacle item, which Chen Guang obtained.

The reason Gaia had such settings, apart from fairness, was to ensure that players did not gain too many god weapons through the small countries, which would cause a depreciation of the value of god weapons.

"Starlight!" After less than ten rounds, Chen Guang was already barely holding on. Finally, he could not take it and used the killing move of the Starlight Sword.

A light shot out from the sword directly toward Ouyang Shuo's heart. The killing move of god weapons basically all had the sure kill effect; this move was just like the bigger dipper of the Qixing Longxuan Sword, formless and unavoidable.

When Chen Guang used this move, his enemy basically stood no chance. When he saw the light successfully pierce Ouyang Shuo, Chen Guang's face lit up, as he thought that victory was in his hands.

Ouyang Shuo laughed coldly; he did not care about the light. He even used the chance when Chen Guang was stunned to stab the Tianmo Spear into Chen Guang's heart.

"Eh!"

Looking at the hole in his chest, Chen Guang gasped in disbelief. He did not understand, even in death, how the enemy remained totally fine under the sure kill attack of the Starlight Sword.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not explain anything to a dead person. He simply picked up the items that Chen Guang had dropped, especially the Starlight Sword, which he quickly kept in his storage.

As the best player in Singapore, Chen Guang was extremely rich, and all of his equipment was higher than platinum rank. However, because they were still in the midst of a chaotic battle, Ouyang Shuo did not have the heart to check the items one by one.

Ouyang Shuo was able to ignore the light from the Starlight Sword because of the Twin Dragons Swallow the Heavens Armor. Its ultimate move provided 100% defense.

One could only say that Chen Guang was too overconfident.

He did not know how big the game was, and how many special treasures there were. Ouyang Shuo also knew that apart from armor, there were many other items that could dodge the killing moves of god weapons.

If not, the god weapons would be extremely overpowered.

The equipment in the game each had their own flaws; naturally, there was not anything invincible.

……

Chen Guang's death meant that the players had lost their leader, so they were thrown into chaos. In such a war, the weakness of the player army lacking training was once again exposed.

When Ouyang Shuo saw the situation, he led the Divine Martial Guards to once again start a slaughtering spree.

The player army was decreasing at a visible rate. Their dropped equipment covered the ground. Along with their destruction, Ouyang Shuo was like a war god, emitting an invincible aura after he slew Chen Guang. He rushed into the enemy guards and focused on killing the advanced general.

With that, the guards panicked.

The scales of victory were finally tipping toward Shanhai City.
