Wang Zhifan was naturally receptive to the idea of this earth mage player wanting to join, but he did not fully trust this person whom he had known for only a few days. He chose to let him parachute into a newly established ordinary army to help instead of letting him directly enter his core group.
And this player seemed to know that trust cannot be built in a day or two. He raised no objections to his arrangement and went to the grassroots army to hang out with the indigenous soldiers that day. Later, he heard that he was quite able to get along there.
"I hope this guy really came to join me. It will definitely be easier for me to clear this dungeon with his help... But I can't completely guard against him having other thoughts."
Because Wang Zhifan didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts, he could only accept him in this way. And on the day the mage joined, he sent a clone of Dream Self to secretly monitor the other party. He also asked a few of his cronies to pay attention to any abnormal behavior of the other party to prevent this person from coming here to cause trouble.
Of course, in order to avoid offending this player who may have sincerely defected to him, Wang Zhifan was particularly careful when arranging his avatars and subordinates to keep an eye on his actions. He would always have people supervise secretly from a distance, or investigate through some indirect methods. As long as the other party did not show anything wrong after a period of time, he would not mind pulling him into his core group step by step.
In this way, time passed slowly day by day.
Wang Zhifan These days, most of the time is still spent on training. The rest of the time is studying external trends and discussing hegemony strategies with several subordinates. Occasionally, he goes to the grassroots troops to see the training of the new army, and he also talks twice with the young mage who defected to him.
If he had to use more appropriate words to describe his feelings about this period of time, it would be that the surface was as calm as water but the undercurrent was turbulent inside, because his subordinates had detected signs that Pottery Kingdom was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and their rule over the old Yin Kingdom had been basically stable, but to take this rule to the next level, it would definitely require a war.
Finally, on this day, almost a month after Wang Zhifan moved into New Capital, the war finally broke out. Pottery Kingdom declared full-scale war on the grounds of revenge against the Abundance Kingdom. Not only did it send out rumors Ancestor Terracotta Army, the strongest team in the Pottery Kingdom, also sent many other troops to various battlefields, making this war a multi-point situation from the beginning. It was obviously a fight that made it difficult for Wang Zhifan to take into account the plans of various places.
"Report! Pottery Kingdom Ancestor Terracotta Army is heading in the direction of Old Capital! Old Capital defense forces have retreated as ordered!"
"Report! Many border towns have been attacked by the Terracotta Army! Defense forces from all over the country are fully defending! Support is urgently needed!"
"Report! General Sun was assassinated by the mysterious Assassin during the march! The army is in urgent need of a new leader!"
"Report! General Han was assassinated by a mysterious killer in the military camp! There was a mutiny in the military camp!"
At this moment, in the main hall of the Abundance Kingdom New Capital, Wang Zhifan was sitting high on the throne, listening to the urgent messages coming from below, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"What is the origin of Assassin who assassinated General Sun? Have you found any clues?"
What he is most unhappy about right now is that the trusted young man in armor he brought from the Abundance Kingdom was suddenly assassinated, or was assassinated by a mysterious man during the march, which gave him some bad associations.
"Report to the king! General Sun died when his head suddenly exploded while he was riding a horse! Assassin was not seen! I'm afraid it was the work of a foreign demon master!"
Upon hearing Wang Zhifan's inquiry, a soldier responsible for reporting below the main hall quickly replied.
"What about General Han? What's his situation?"
As soon as he heard that his head exploded, Wang Zhifan was basically sure who was responsible for the murder, but he did not lose control of his emotions, and then asked about the situation of the other general who was killed.
"General Han is said to have died in the military camp bleeding with a smile on his face! Because the camp has mutinied, there is currently no more precise information!"
Another messenger soldier then replied that he was responsible for bringing this urgent news.
However, before Wang Zhifan could respond to his answer, another messenger rushed into the hall, half-kneeling on the ground and shouted hurriedly to Wang Zhifan on the throne:
"Report! General Liu was attacked by Assassin on the way to the battlefield! He is currently in a coma!"
"..."
Even though he had expected this development, Wang Zhifan still felt a little stuck in his heart. He regretted for a moment that he did not send his avatars to protect these trusted generals. However, this was not due to inaction on his part. In fact, he had to take care of a lot of places, and each place was far away. It was difficult for his energy and avatars to take care of every place. Moreover, if every general needed his protection, then future wars would probably be impossible to fight.
"The mage suddenly disappeared in the army I was monitoring just now... It must be that he achieved his goal and escaped using a teleportation scroll or something like that."
At the current time, there are only two clones arranged by Wang Zhifan. One is secretly guarding Lao Xiangguo, whom he relies on very much, and the other is secretly monitoring the mage player who defected to him. Lao Xiangguo is currently in New Capital is responsible for logistics matters, there is nothing special about it, but the mage player is different. He suddenly disappeared from the army when he was sending a message to the soldiers just now, and even the clone following him from a distance could not sense his aura.
"I was still careless... Those players didn't have any good intentions towards me at all. They probably sent that mage just to facilitate the investigation of my intelligence, and then they decided to deal with me at this time... Could it be that they have already cooperated with the Pottery Kingdom?"
Now, no matter how stupid Wang Zhifan is, he understands what is going on. General Sun, whom he valued very much, suddenly had his head exploded and died. It was obvious that he was shot remotely by a gunner player, while General Han died strangely. The difference may be related to the players with various methods. After all, they all died suddenly in the army. Pottery Kingdom If the indigenous forces had such methods, how many years ago would they have used them? Do they still need to wait until he swallows Yin Kingdom first before taking action? "Send the order! All armies will defend where they are and wait for reinforcements! I will personally take action now!"
Now that the overall situation has collapsed from the beginning, Wang Zhifan does not expect his remaining subordinates to do anything to turn the tide. He plans to personally restore all the collapsed situations, otherwise the results he has worked hard for a month will be completely destroyed.
After giving the instructions, his figure instantly disappeared from the hall and appeared at another location several kilometers away. This was near where his only confidant, Old Xiangguo, was handling affairs. He specially arranged a clone to guard here, but he was not here to find Old Xiangguo through Entering Dreams Dreambreaking. It was just to facilitate his secret departure, so as not to be spied on by interested parties.
He then summoned Crimson Deer Horse on the spot, jumped on his horse and galloped into the sky, and began continuous fire-fighting operations from near to far, to forcefully restore all the out-of-control battle situations and prevent the collapse of various places from being connected together and affecting the entire battle situation.
So, it started with a small city near New Capital. A Terracotta Army did not dare to attack the New Capital where it was located, so they specifically chose this one which was not particularly important but had certain Taking action at a place of strategic significance. They believed that under the current situation, the rumored and powerful King Abundance Kingdom had no time to take care of this place. They all relied on the rough skin and thick flesh of the pottery figurines to rush to the city gate, hoping to attack the Arhats in.
While the Abundance Kingdom defenders of this city were organizing their defense before it collapsed, a certain figure suddenly appeared from the horizon and fell into the Terracotta Army who were attacking the city in the blink of an eye. Then there were roars and lightning in the Terracotta Army exploded, and when the sergeants guarding the city looked outside in surprise one by one to know what had happened, they could only see a large piece of the Terracotta Army that had turned into mud and broken tiles on the ground outside the city gate, as well as charred corpses inside the pottery figurines.
"General! Pottery Kingdom people are all dead!"
"What just happened?!"
Some young soldiers who were about to drop big rocks outside the city gate found that all the enemies were suddenly killed. They felt very incomprehensible and screamed.
"This... it must be that Thunder Lord is angry! He killed these Pottery Kingdom bandits!"
The city guarding officials also couldn't understand what happened just now, so they started making nonsense.
What they didn't know was that Wang Zhifan, who had just fallen from the sky at an extremely fast speed to help them destroy the enemy, was already flying through the sky on his way to the next location.
This is about thirty miles away from the city just now. A Terracotta Army and Abundance Kingdom patrol army met in a narrow road and entered the battle. However, the Abundance Kingdom army was not strong enough and the soldiers almost collapsed at the first touch. Terracotta Army took advantage of the victory to pursue them and beat these Abundance Kingdom troops until they lost their armor.
But suddenly, the pottery figurines that were wantonly chasing Abundance Kingdom people all stopped running and rolled in groups like wooden piles and fell to the ground. They seemed to have turned into dead objects and could no longer move.
Most of the fleeing Abundance Kingdom soldiers took the opportunity to run away when they saw this situation, but there were some brave people who hid nearby and observed for a while, and then carefully went back to see what was going on. As a result, they opened the pottery figurines and found that the Pottery Kingdom soldiers inside had long turned into stiff and cold corpses.
This situation is naturally caused by Wang Zhifan's use of Ice Source Power. His current strategy is to rely on Crimson Deer Horse's speed comparable to that of an airplane and his own powerful perception to search for enemies in circles. As long as an enemy is discovered, he will destroy it as quickly as possible. He does not expect his own troops to play a role in destroying the enemy.
This method can be said to be quite primitive and inefficient, but it is very suitable for him, because his own conditions are different from ordinary people. Not only does his combat power completely crush these Pottery Kingdom enemy troops, but he also has efficient range-of-range killing methods, and he also has physical endurance. It is unparalleled. Combined with the ultra-high mobility of Crimson Deer Horse, it is a full-map movement bug. When you fly to a place and find an enemy, you can eliminate the enemy within two seconds, and then rush to the next place non-stop at a terrifying speed.
In addition, even if the current Abundance Kingdom annexed the previous Yin Kingdom, the total area did not exceed a thousand miles. He also knew the approximate location of his troops and the enemy troops, so the progress of this sweeping cleanup was faster than he expected. It only took about two hours to attack. His Abundance Kingdom Xintu's Pottery Kingdom army destroyed everything. It can be said that many Terracotta Army were on the verge of being wiped out without knowing what kind of existence attacked them. After all, it was difficult for their eyesight to catch a certain figure falling from the sky before they all ascended to the sky.
In this way, after some intense work, Wang Zhifan confirmed that the Abundance Kingdom new land he had captured was basically safe. Not only had he wiped out all the invading Terracotta Armys, he had also suppressed the mutinous military camp mentioned by the messenger soldier before.
After the original Yin Kingdom area was dealt with, he then rushed to his old territory, the mountain area of the Abundance Kingdom.
Originally, after hearing the intelligence, he didn't believe that Pottery Kingdom's strongest Ancestor Terracotta Army would attack this place of little value, but it turned out that sometimes the enemy's behavior was unpredictable. They just chose to send their strongest troops to such a place to attack an old Abundance Capital that he didn't want to go back to.
Ancestor Terracotta Army's pottery figurines are not many in number, only about thirty in total, but they are five or six times taller than ordinary pottery figurines. Each one is fifteen meters in height, and the diameter of the soles of their feet is more than three meters. Walking in the mountains is like moving hills. Just a collective march can make the ground beneath their feet shake. Old Capital's defenders cannot resist it at all.
But fortunately, in this mountainous environment, Ancestor Terracotta Army's marching speed was slowed down by more than half. When Wang Zhifan arrived, they destroyed the barracks at the foot of Old Capital's mountain before they had time to attack up the mountain.
"There don't seem to be any soldiers inside these Ancestor Pottery... they are all complete clay giants..."
After Wang Zhifan rushed to Old Capital, he originally planned to use Ice Source Power to directly kill the pilots of these earth giants, but unexpectedly discovered that there were no living organisms inside them. In other words, they were completely earth-type beings, without the fixed weaknesses he thought.
"This kind of big guy is more suitable for processing with Ocean Envoy."
After some thought, Wang Zhifan felt that it would be most efficient to use the Ocean Envoy scimitar with instant kill effect against them, so he quickly changed his weapon and jumped high from the back of the speeding Crimson Deer Horse, preparing to chop these big guys one by one.
However, just when he landed on the head of the first Ancestor Pottery giant, a sudden change in energy was captured by his perception. Then the moment he reacted, the Ancestor Pottery giant he landed on exploded! It emitted a huge fire that destroyed the heaven and earth! It caused continuous shaking in the surrounding mountains! "This lone wolf player is very powerful. He may not be dead yet. Everyone, please be careful."
After the attack, on a hilltop far away from the explosion site, a young player of medium build but good temperament said calmly while looking at the place where the fire broke out.
Behind him, a dozen players who had accompanied him in the Pottery Kingdom all appeared. Each of them seemed to be ready to fight, including even the thin mage young man who had defected to Wang Zhifan.
