Pei Donglai's words caused the room to fall into a momentary silence. The generals instantly felt the difficulty of the upcoming battle.

When Yanhuo Yaonie saw the situation, he directly asked to lead, “Lord, I'm willing to lead the troops to attack Lion City."

"Say what you need!"

Pei Donglai's words were logical; Ouyang Shuo would never believe that they could take down Lion City with only a single navy squadron and two thousand soldiers. If he believed they had such ability, he would not be confident but arrogant.

However, no matter how Ouyang Shuo looked at him, Yanhuo Yaonie was not an arrogant person. To Yanhuo Yaonie, this battle could allow him to shoot to fame, so he definitely would not act rashly.

"I have two tough asks." Yanhuo Yaonie said, “Firstly, I hope that the cannons of the squadron can be assigned to me. Secondly, I hope to have the help of five hundred Divine Martial Guards."

"Wishful thinking." Before Ouyang Shuo could reply, Chen Dameng was already unhappy, and he stared at Yan Yaonie with bull-like eyes, “The Divine Martial Guards will only listen to the Lord."

Ouyang Shuo did not bother with Chen Dameng for the moment; he looked at Yanhuo Yaonie and calmly said, “The cannons and Divine Martial Guards, I can give to you. However, what if the mission fails?"

"If I fail, I'll give you my head." Yanhuo Yaonie made his military declaration.

"How much is your head even worth?"

Chen Dameng muttered, growing more and more annoyed with Yanhuo Yaonie.

Ouyang Shuo saw the determination in his eyes. Only with determination could one create miracles. As such, he chose to trust this general and said, “Listen to my orders!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

Military orders were like the will of god, so Zheng He and the other generals stood in position in the middle of the hall.

"I order Zheng He to take up the position of commander of the east troops and Pei Donglai to take up the role of deputy; you will lead the 1st division to attack Fengshan County. You have to grab the attention of all the enemy troops." Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"Yes, my Lord!"

"I order Yanhuo Yaonie to take up the role of commander of the mid troops, Chen Dameng will take up the role of deputy; you will lead the 2nd division and one thousand Divine Martial Guards to attack Lion City. You must win in one go!"

Ouyang Shuo had assigned double the number of Divine Martial Guards compared to the number Yanhuo Yaonie had requested. Apart from the Personal Guards, he had assigned all of the Divine Martial Guards to the middle troops.

"Yes, my lord!" In Yaohuo Yaonie's eyes, there was a glimmer of fire.

The trust of the Lord was incredibly important.

Even Chen Dameng, who had disagreed with Yaohuo Yaonie, could only accept the matter at this point.

Everyone knew that this was going to be an all-out brawl.

"I'll lead the Personal Guards to clear out the island villages." Ouyang Shuo actually planned to distract some of the players to reduce the burden on the army.

Although it seemed simple, it was extremely dangerous.

"Lord!"

Zheng He and the other generals were shocked; they wanted to express their disagreement.

"Generals, there's no need to discuss anymore. This battle is incredibly important for Shanhai City. We need to go all out." Ouyang Shuo waved them off, stopping them from trying to persuade him.

"We will fight to the death!"

Instantly, a wave determination permeated the battle room.

"Go make preparations!" Ouyang Shuo ended the meeting.

4th month, 21st day, Zheng He led the east troops to launch the first attack.

The forty odd main warship force and the sixty support ships formed a squadron. In the morning, they suddenly appeared in the surrounding sea region of Fengshan County, attacking the fishing boats and navy warships.

Fengshan County had its back toward the ocean, so the navy formed half of the territory's troops.

Under the relentless assault of the east troops, the three enemy thousand troop had no way to return fire.

In less than an hour, without even needing to fire the cannons, the east troops completely annihilated the Fengshan County navy. Apart from a few that managed to escape to shore, the rest were buried in the ocean.

Apart from that, numerous fishing boats were collateral damage.

After destroying the navy, the east troops did not rush to disembark. Instead, they taunted the enemy at the port.

When the Fengshan County lord received the news, his face turned ashen white. He immediately announced the lockdown of the city gates, and that the County had entered level 1 state of alert. As for the villages outside of the city, they were lost in his eyes.

At the same time, a system notification sounded out in the ears of all the Singapore players.

"System Notification: China’s Lord Qiyue Wuyi has initiated a country war; Singapore has entered war mode. Lion City has entered a level 2 state of alert. For the specific details, players please check it out for yourselves."

The moment the notification sounded, the Lion City players panicked. They had never expected to encounter the China region Lords at this point in time.

This country war had arrived too soon.

"Qiyue Wuyi? Isn’t he the best Lord in China?" someone asked.

"Not only China, he's the best in the world. The World's First Town, the World's First County, and the World's First Prefecture." someone added.

Gasp! The players who learned of these facts for the first time could not help but take in a deep breath. The world's first was something truly amazing; furthermore, he had a triple crown.

"Why did he come here and even start a country war?" someone asked.

"Who knows!"

"No matter what, we cannot just sit and do nothing."

"The problem is, where did the enemy come from? Is it Xinzhou Bay?" Most of the players were clueless.

At this very moment, the envoy from Fengshan County had arrived at Lion City with frontline intel, "Brothers of Singapore, an enemy has attacked; please lend a hand to protect the honour of our country!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too!"

"Let’s go, screw him!"

Suddenly, many players gathered.

This was a game, so quite a number of people only played for fun. Why would they think deeply into the matter? This was especially true for normal players. How would players who had never experienced war know about its cruelty?

Once the honor of the country was mentioned, many players felt their blood boil, and they just rushed up. In less than an hour, they gathered seven thousand players, who teleported to Fengshan County.

Following which, more and more players threw themselves into this battle.

The Fengshan County envoy decided to simply create a recruitment point besides the teleportation formation. Every five hundred people would form a team to teleport to Fengshan County to assist.

Amongst the bustle, the Temasek Mercenary Group - the core pillar of Singapore players - did not move out. 90% of the high leveled players in Singapore were part of this guild. Without them taking action, the player forces would not be strong.

It was not that the Temasek Mercenary Group did not like the country, however, as a large sized guild, they were more careful and calmer than normal players. They would not rashly throw themselves into battle.

An enemy attacked, a country war started.

The place that most needed protection was not Fengshan County but Lion City.

The moment Lion City fell, the country war would end.

Hence, the moment they received the news, the Temasek Mercenary Group sent a large number of men to the borders of the country to obtain intel and see if the enemy had hidden any troops elsewhere.

Naturally, they mainly searched around the Xinzhou Bay region.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. How would Yanhuo Yaonie’s middle troops still hang around that part of the ocean? When they spotted no enemies by the afternoon, the Temasek Mercenary Group finally decided to help Fengshan County.

The current Fengshan County was facing great peril.

After obtaining the help of these adventure gamemode players, the Lord of Fengshan County grew bold. Along with the players incessant requests to fight, they decided to open the city gates to form up at the harbour to stop the enemy from disembarking.

Based on their words, they wanted to destroy the enemy on the ocean.

Of course, some people were doubtful about such a decision, “Why not play it safe and just defend the city? Why choose such a risky tactic?"

"Defending on the back foot is a cowardly act; we are not cowards!"

"Even if we want to fight outside the city, we should wait till more people come. Why are we rushing?"

"Wait? What are we waiting for? If we wait and the enemy disembarks, it will all be too late."

"This is war; this is not a game!" someone disagreed.

Before the war had even truly started, many players were quarrelling, their views unable to be unified.

The first batch of players were all lawless people, so how could they listen to other people? Even the Lord of Fengshan County lacked the power to control them.

"We cannot let the enemy step foot on our land!" players shouted.

It was these words that fanned the flames. Suddenly, many players felt their blood boil, and they collectively hollered. They screamed that they wanted to take the head of the enemy and protect the honor of their country.

Helplessly, he could only compromise and order the city gates to be opened. He did not dare to antagonise these players, as the fate of Fengshan County depended on them.

The moment the city gates opened, tens of thousands of players swarmed out and headed straight for the harbour.

Their dreams were big, but reality was completely different. If they defended the walls, they could hold on for some time. The moment they went out, it was like they were courting death.

What awaited these formed up players were the attacks of the cannons. Hundreds of cannon shells exploded in the enemy formation, causing numerous casualties. Broken limbs flew all over the place and blood splattered.

Some of the cowardly ones turned around and ran. Some did not dare to stay at the harbour; they panicked and ran back into Fengshan County.

The army formation that looked so menacing collapsed immediately. The scattered soldiers escaping created a truly embarrassing sight. During this battle, the players of Singapore had really thrown away their face.

Hahaha!

The embarrassment of the enemy made the east troops amused, and they mocked the Singapore players.

This scene caused Pei Donglai to describe the enemy in this manner, “What an awkward bunch."

When Zheng He heard these words, he shook his head, “Let's not underestimate the enemy; the battle has just begun. The enemy did not know about the power of cannons, resulting in this scene. If they manage to gain a foothold, it would be a tough battle."

"Thank you, admiral, for your teachings!" Pei Donglai was a little ashamed.
