Chapter 1154: National Battlefield!

A conflict erupted!

Su Sheng watched the news posted in the Guild Channel and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Qiancheng Muxue? Those guys are getting cheeky again."

Wu Zhaodi looked at the content of the Guild Channel and spoke.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow, probably guessed what it was—likely because of today's incident.

Otherwise, during this period, Qiancheng Muxue and the others have been swallowing their grievances.

Even when facing minor clashes with Yanhuang, they would voluntarily step back.

But now it's just starting up, and thinking about it, it's most likely because of today's incident.

Su Sheng didn't say much else: "Let's go, let's head out. We'll skip today's mission for now; missing one Dungeon run isn't a big loss."

In a Solidified Instance, besides dying and exiting, you can also voluntarily abandon it, but after a voluntary abandonment, that run's count is lost.

If you die and exit, the reward count remains, and replaying it can still earn today's reward.

But if you abandon voluntarily, that day's count becomes invalid.

Although a single Dungeon run yields decent rewards, the fight over there has already started, and the four present—Su Sheng, Lin Huan, Wu Zhaodi, and Huang Mingxin—are there.

They are solidly part of Yanhuang's core layer, so under these circumstances they naturally can't be absent.

Thus the four abandoned the Dungeon together.

Through the situation shared via the Guild Channel, Su Sheng also learned roughly what had happened.

The focal point is still the Dream Building Squad.

Zhu Meng Junjie triggered a team quest over there.

It counts as a confrontation mission; the five of them certainly couldn't handle it, so they called for guild members to assist.

Lu Zhe came with people to help...

Coincidentally, the opposing side this time turned out to be Qiancheng Muxue's group.

Before this, when opposing sides clashed in confrontation missions, there wasn't much to say.

Even Yanhuang and Huan Yu have encountered confrontation missions, with both sides experiencing wins and losses.

Of course, so far all confrontation missions have mostly been wins for Yanhuang's side.

Naturally, everyone tacitly acknowledges this rule.

Grudges arise from missions and end with missions.

After the mission ends, everyone stops entangling.

But this time, under Lu Zhe's leadership, there's no doubt Yanhuang's side won.

However, this time Qiancheng Muxue ignored the rules, bringing a large force to try to swallow up the thousand people on Lu Zhe's side!

Yanhuang's side certainly wouldn't sit and die; Lu Zhe and Zhu Meng Junjie immediately started rallying people in the guild.

Chen Guan and the crowd from Ten Court Yanluo have already set out with their troops.

The mission location is Xuanwu Main City; after Su Sheng's party abandoned the Dungeon, they directly used a Teleport Array to arrive at Xuanwu Main City.

The four moved quickly.

Upon arriving at Xuanwu Main City, many Yanhuang players were still gathering in the city.

"Chairman!"

"Vice Chairman!"

Everyone saw Su Sheng and called out to him.

Su Sheng nodded: "No more words, support!"

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly mounted their horses and rushed toward the coordinates of the incident.

Many onlookers in Xuanwu Main City watched curiously, their chatter bubbling.

Naturally, some people who knew the inside story spoke up.

"Is Qiancheng Muxue crazy?"

"Yeah, they didn't suffer much under Yanhuang before, right? Now they even dare to trouble Yanhuang."

"That aside, they have their own grudges, so we can't say much. But what's the timing now? We're on the brink of launching the National War System."

"Right, shouldn't we be united and face the outside together now? Qiancheng Muxue is still causing trouble."

While players in Xuanwu Main City were murmuring, a system announcement suddenly rang out.

Ding~

System Announcement:

The whole server has over a thousand players at level 80 Fourth Rebirth!

Tomorrow night at 20:30, the National Battlefield will open!

All servers with level 80 Fourth Rebirth players will connect in the National Battlefield.

Quiet!

In an instant, the whole venue fell silent.

"Just as they say, 'Speak of Cao Cao and he appears'! I was just saying the National War was about to start, and now it has."

"Damn!"

"National Battlefield, huh? I'll check it out tomorrow."

"I guess you can't get in; looks like only Fourth Rebirth players can enter."

"Then what's there to say? Level up! Rush to Fourth Rebirth, I'm going to cause trouble over at Little Days!"

"Right, right, everyone go over to Little Days and cause some trouble."

"Why panic? First watch the drama; it's only a day or two, how many levels can you still rush?"

"Right, watching the drama is key, first follow the Yanhuang people to watch the drama and see how badly Qiancheng Muxue gets crushed this time."

"Yes, Mo Wen the Great, this time we must properly teach those Qiancheng Muxue guys a lesson; they even pop up to cause trouble at a time like this."

The many solo players debated loudly.

When the system announcement rang, Su Sheng couldn't help but pause.

Although he had long been mentally prepared, he didn't expect the National War system to activate at a moment like this.

He also didn't know what form it would take.

The National Battlefield, it seemed to be a standalone map; he guessed it might be something like the Battle for the Cauldron.

But for now they have to deal with Qiancheng Muxue's matter first.

"A‑Sheng, come up, let's go ahead!"

Lin Huan rode a Frost Giant Dragon in midair and waved at Su Sheng.

A shared mount invitation was sent over.

Su Sheng naturally didn't hesitate and accepted outright.

Sharing the mount, they boarded the Frost Giant Dragon; Su Sheng reached out and embraced Huan Jie's slender waist.

Lin Huan immediately steered the Frost Giant Dragon toward the coordinate point.

Lu Zhe and his party's mission point was still some distance from Xuanwu Main City; a regular city mount would take about twenty minutes.

However, with a flying mount, the travel time could be cut dramatically.

Below, the many players in Xuanwu Main City watched Su Sheng and Lin Huan with envy.

A flying mount— a Frost Giant Dragon.

…

Meanwhile.

At a small outpost in the wilderness.

A Yanhuang thousand‑person team, with about 800 still remaining, faced across a Qiancheng Muxue force of over ten thousand, nearly twenty thousand!

Lu Zhe, wielding a Long Sword, took the frontmost position.

There was also a circle of heavy‑armor units.

But the numbers were too lopsided; Yanhuang kept losing troops.

"Damn, those Qiancheng Muxue guys came prepared this time!"

"Yeah, the mission just ended and their people surrounded us!"

"Don't worry, everyone hold on; the Chairman has already brought reinforcements."

"This time we must vent our fury!"

"Those Qiancheng Muxue guys are truly despicable, taking advantage of our peril!"

The opposing mission was only a thousand‑person scale.

Yanhuang fielded a thousand‑person team, and the opposite side also had a thousand‑person team, but as soon as the mission ended, Qiancheng Muxue's main force had already encircled Yanhuang's team.

Obviously, Qiancheng Muxue acted deliberately; during the mission they had already summoned troops.

And now, right at the critical moment when everyone is pushing for the Fourth Rebirth, even Chen Guan is grinding levels; his level is still a bit short, not yet 80.

Earlier, because of his own recklessness, he died a few times in the Dungeon.

So Chen Guan is only level 79 now, and at this crucial moment, with Qiancheng Muxue's troop redeployment, he couldn't prioritize it immediately.

After all, everyone had been calm for so long, with hardly any large‑scale clashes, at most some minor skirmishes.

Now it hits at such a critical juncture.

Who could have imagined those Qiancheng Muxue guys would be so ruthless, mobilizing a massive force to encircle the thousand‑person team that joined the opposing mission.

That caught them truly off guard.

"Don't worry, even if they're many, what of it? If they want to devour us, they'll die before they get even a bite of our flesh!"

Lu Zhe, with a calm expression, spoke to rally morale!

Although the numbers were vastly uneven and Yanhuang kept losing troops, Qiancheng Muxue couldn't relax much either.

In the out‑numbered fight, the casualty ratio was almost 1:1.

That's twenty thousand versus a thousand, of course terrain mattered, and also Lu Zhe and the Dream Building Squad's combat power was not lacking.

Holding that gap, with Lu Zhe at the spearhead, they achieved the 1:1 loss ratio.

But Lu Zhe was under great pressure!

The Hundred‑Eye Asura, though also a heavy‑armor unit, is a ranged, damage‑oriented unit.

Not like Su Sheng, a hexagonal warrior who can both tank and strike.

In this situation, although Lu Zhe's output was terrifying and his technique excellent, he ultimately lacked Su Sheng's damage‑absorption ability.

Thus, Lu Zhe's pressure was immense!

His health bar was dancing!

Lu Zhe was the strongest on the field, and Qiancheng Muxue's side was no fool; they were almost all focusing fire, mainly on Lu Zhe.

Moreover!

Qiancheng Lihualuo also charged toward Lu Zhe!

Although a bona‑fide talent monster with absolute focus from a special group, Lu Zhe's technique, he admits, is not far behind Qiancheng Lihualuo's.

But the opposite side has many people, and others are also restraining.

Soon, under Qiancheng Muxue's targeting and Qiancheng Lihualuo's restraint, Lu Zhe delivered his first Survival Skill!

In the crowd, Qiancheng Gongzi Wei Cheng, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but flash a ferocious grin.

"Good job, his Survival Skill is already delivered! Lihualuo, push harder and blow this guy up. If I recall correctly, he also has a Divine Artifact in his hand. If the Divine Artifact can be detonated, Yanhuang will definitely feel the pain!"

Wei Cheng stared at the battlefield and shouted.

If there hadn't been that incident yesterday.

Wei Cheng probably wouldn't have clashed with Yanhuang at a time like this.

But when he was at the hospital yesterday, Wei Cheng was truly both scared and angry.

Coupled with Du Xue's performance, it showed an air of unresolved feelings.

It made Wei Cheng genuinely furious to the core!

In the past, if he got humiliated in front of Su Sheng, he would go ravage Du Xue.

Although the novelty has worn off, in his definition, Du Xue and Su Sheng are former lovers.

Now Du Xue is his wife, and ravaging Du Xue always feels like he can outdo Su Sheng by a margin.

But yesterday at the hospital, he saw Su Sheng's gaze toward Du Xue was that calm.

He realized that Su Sheng was most likely truly completely at ease with Du Xue.

So when he ravaged Du Xue yesterday, he didn't feel that vengeful, triumphant thrill.

That made him utterly displeased!

Then as soon as he logged on, he heard someone reporting the opposing mission here in the Guild Channel.

Immediately, Wei Cheng got hot‑headed and organized troops to come over.

Yesterday's incident left him feeling very suppressed!

He must collect some interest today!

As for the Azure Dragon Chief, back when the Azure Dragon Chief was with their Wei family, he had already made it clear.

They are not allowed to use any underhanded means in reality.

And they must not expose Su Sheng's information.

Regarding internal game competition, they will not intervene.

Thus this is purely legitimate internal competition, and he need not worry about facing the Azure Dragon Chief because of this.

Therefore, Wei Cheng bringing people over has no reservations.

He also knows that Yanhuang is strong now.

However, Qiancheng Muxue has the unreserved support of the Wei Family Conglomerate behind her.

After such prolonged development, he doesn't believe the gap between his Qiancheng Muxue and Yanhuang is truly that large.

"Take him down!"

"Deputy President, where's your Assassin Guild? What are you doing?!"

Wei Cheng said angrily.

Although the Yanhuang high command has already delivered the Survival Skill, and Yanhuang's side indeed suffers heavy casualties, the thousand‑person team now has just over 600 left.

But when he looked at the casualty stats, his side also lost over 580, 20,000 versus 1,000, the loss ratio close to 1:1, and he was very dissatisfied!

Yet up to now, the Assassin Guild led by Du Xue hasn't acted, which also irked him!

But Du Xue ignored him.

Wei Cheng watched Lu Zhe's HP drop again, and having already delivered the Survival Skill, finally couldn't help but show a faint smile.

However, he also checked the guild information and saw Du Xue's Assassin Guild on outer‑perimeter guard, and he was too lazy to say more.

He also knows that Yanhuang's side will definitely bring people over.

But as long as he can take down this Yanhuang Thousand‑Person Team, then everyone can use the Return Journey Scroll to escape.

He doesn't believe that after this climax, Yanhuang would still come over in full force to trouble him.

As long as his side can eliminate this Thousand‑Person Team before Yanhuang's support arrives, it's a sure profit.

And moreover~

Wei Cheng stared at the Heavenly Cluster Cloud in Lu Zhe's hand, his eyes flashing.

Hope it can explode!

Divine Artifact!

As for getting the Divine Artifact, what kind of retaliation Yanhuang will launch later is a matter for the future.

Moreover, he tells himself that once the Divine Artifact is in hand, the family conglomerate will give him even greater support.

"Kill!"

Both sides are still fighting!

Lu Zhe retreated, and just now he almost got wiped out.

However, a few Trap Formation Warriors in the guild, along with the Dream Builders, helped block Qiancheng Lihualuo, giving Lu Zhe a chance to retreat and recover.

But it was precisely because Lu Zhe withdrew.

The damage balance between the sides began to tilt.

Soon, Yanhuang's Thousand‑Person Team dwindled to a small group of just over 300.

Meanwhile, Qiancheng Muxue's side lost about 600 plus.

Only 300 left!

Wei Cheng looked at the few people struggling to hold the line on Yanhuang's side and smiled.

Immediately!

He can take down this Yanhuang Thousand‑Person Team right away, and he'll be able to collect a wave of interest!!
