Chapter 1130 – Final Craziness
Java, Badong City.
Lord Uwais had encountered a painful choice. In a short three days, a tenth of Badong's million men army was destroyed, making him feel really pained.
The key was whether to send further reinforcements or not.
Without Java's reinforcements, Australia was destined to be lost. And the moment Great Xia occupied Australia, they could move into Java and launch a direct threat.
Needless to say, Uwais would have to answer to the organization.
However, if he assisted them, Uwais was more worried that he would be dragged into the mud and be unable to save himself in the end. He also had a scary thought, which was that Great Xia had other intentions for starting the Battle of Luzon.
"If they were targeting Java right from the start, maybe attacking Australia and Luzon was just them tossing out a bait to hook Java in?"
Thinking about this, Uwais could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
These were not just his random thoughts. Java was strong primarily because of their population and secondly because they were fighting on their home ground.
If Great Xia truly moved the tiger out of the mountain and fought them in Australia and Luzon, they could quietly swallow up the Badong army; it was a really ingenious idea.
Uwais did not to dare take the gamble.
"Do not blame me for being heartless, but I have no choice." Uwais made up his mind.
...
Australia, Canberra.
Unable to wait for the second batch of reinforcements from Java, the Australian players were ready to take a gamble.
Someone suggested, "Once the enemy surrounds the imperial city, we are dead. The only chance now is to attack before the 2nd army of the enemy arrives and destroy them outside."
"Is that feasible?" Some people were worried.
200 thousand imperial city guards along with 300 thousand combat occupation players against 110 thousand Great Xia Guards Legion Corps troops.
"Five against one, it's possible!" Someone said confidently.
At least in terms of numbers, they held the absolute advantage. Furthermore, this had to work, as they had no other choice.
"Then let's fight!"
Since they chose to go all out, one should not have any hesitation.
11th day, noon, pretty much when the Melbourne army fell, imperial city Canberra launched a counterattack. 200 thousand guards troops and 300 thousand players walked out of the city gates with all the worries thrown outside of their heads.
The tip of their formation pointed right at the Great Xia camp.
Defending this was the 1st legion Legion General Shihu as well as 4th legion Legion General Er'Lai. Both of them were top generals.
Mountain barbarian Legion General Shihu had obtained the God Weapon Heaven splitting axe that Chiyou had dropped as well as the Emperor Ranked hell slaughterer true manual. After which, his abilities soared.
After just three years of cultivating the manual, Shihu had broken through to become and Emperor Ranked general, becoming the second native NPC after Lin Yi to do so.
The more terrifying part was that the Emperor Rank was not his limit.
Under Ouyang Shuo's special treatment, Shihu did not lack cultivation resources. Before this, when he obtained the ten thousand year stalactite, Ouyang Shuo had especially sent a bottle over. Such great treatment was one that everyone envied.
Shihu did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo. His ability improved quickly.
Ouyang Shuo was looking forward to a mountain barbarian general on the level of Chiyou being born in the Great Xia Army, achieving a different type of legend.
After learning that the enemy had come out of their base, Shihu and Er'Lai did not show any signs of fear.
Not only because they themselves were top generals, but also because the troops under them were the cream of the crop. Without mentioning crushing the enemy, fighting them to a standstill was not a problem.
As long as they maintained the current situation, it would be a victory for them.
Be it the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the dragon blood cavalry who were heading over, or the 5th legion and the Auckland Formation who had already arrived at the shore, no matter which of them arrived on the battlefield, it would spell the end of the enemy.
The enemy choosing to strike out had saved them the bother of sieging.
At 4 PM in the afternoon, the vanguard forces of the Canberra army had arrived outside of the camp. Moreover, before they arrived, the Great Xia Army had already formed up and were silently waiting for their arrival.
Just this alone showed the military discipline of Shihu and Er'Lai.
The Guards Legion Corps camp was haphazardly set up. There were no high wooden walls to defend and no moats and traps. Facing the menacing flood and enemy troops that were even a little crazy, if one defended their ground, it would be like binding their own feet.
It was better to move out of the camp and form up on flat ground, as that would give them the most room to show off their strengths.
Shihu led the bolder legion at the front like a stone wall spread out on the wilderness, looking invincible and unbreakable. Er'Lai led his infantry and cavalry mixed legion and assisted from the wings.
The two legions worked together to form a super formation that could both attack and defend.
Within the greenish wilderness and under the blue sky, 100 thousand Great Xia Guards Legion Corps soldiers in black armor held onto their shining spears and blades, standing orderly in their formations and giving out a really stable aura.
The golden dragon flag waving in the wind was the best symbol of them.
Facing such a formation, the Canberra army vanguard forces were stunned and did not dare to proceed forward. Some of them even subconsciously took a step back.
When they regained their senses, their faces were filled with shame.
As they say, 'Seeing the face is better than hearing the name.' Before coming, they had heard of how amazing the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps was, but in truth, they did not have a clear understanding. Hence, they were filled with confidence.
Once they witnessed the aura of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, they felt their hairs stand on its end. The so-called trump card was such a presence. The Guards Legion Corps had not even moved, yet they could cause the surrounding air to freeze up and the wild flowers to wither.
The killing intent that they purposely kept still exuded outward.
In comparison, be it the imperial city guards or the combat occupation players, it was the first time they had stepped on the battlefield. Compared to the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, they were like little flowers in the greenhouse.
As a result, it was no wonder that some of them would take a step back.
The atmosphere of the battlefield instantly became really awkward. The defending side did not even do anything, yet the side who came over raring to fight was already stunned and hesitant, making a fool of themselves. It was like a bunch of deflated balloons.
The deadly silence spread to every corner, making it really intolerable.
The longer they were in a standstill, the bigger the pressure that the Canberra army felt. The killing intent from the Guards Legion Corps seemed to have taken physical form and charged toward them like a tsunami.
The psychological barrier amplified the effects of this fear.
Less than half an hour had passed, but it was like a century to some. Their arms and legs were numbing up.
Before this, someone had said that the moment someone was forced into desperation, one would either be totally stepped on or become crazy.
Some of them welcomed their second crazy phase.
"Kill!"
Some of the combat occupation players could not take such a standstill and hollered, charging at the enemy with all they had.
"If we are destined to die, let me be crazy for one final time."
