Chapter 1173 – Boring Country War

On the imperial city drill field, the wind blew.

On the viewing stand were two giants that had risen up together. One represented the peak of China Lords, while the other represented the peak of guilds. Beneath the stage were cheering warriors, and amongst the yellow dust, their hot blood was burning.

If one saw such a scene, they would obviously be filled with emotions.

Although Blood Romance agreed to be incorporated, Ouyang Shuo was not an ignorant person and gave the Blood Evil Mercenary Group some time. He allowed them to choose four elite forces to join the Guards Legion Corps and the Dragon Legion Corps to follow the army to India to experience the battlefield.

“When the time is right, they will have a large-scale merger. In the meantime, the Blood Evil Mercenary Group can continue to exist as an organization and does not need to disband.”

Blood Romance had no objections.

Ouyang Shuo’s promise was not false words, and there were living examples.

In the 1st year of Gaia, the Rattlesnake Mercenary Guild joined Shanhai City. Now, five years had passed, and the members were all doing really well.

Black Snake Guards Commander Black Snake and Military Affairs Secretary Cobra, these two intel giants, did not look like they commanded a lot of people, but in truth, their power and resources exceeded what Blood Romance possessed.

Their achievement value had reached a shocking number. Based on what Black Snake had revealed, his permission level had reached C and was on its way to B.

If this was in the past, such a matter would be totally unimaginable.

The members below him all held important positions. They were either in charge of the intel work of a region, or they became head lecturers to teach the military.

These were all clear examples for all to see.

In comparison, the development of guilds was too restricted. Without a fixed base, the guild could only be pushed around. If one huge wave arrived, they might not be able to handle it and would face the risk of disbanding.

Even if the guild moved to a territory, they were restricted everywhere, and there was not much they could do about it.

No Lord would be willing to allow an uncontrolled power to appear in their territory. To recruit the guilds was a much-needed act, and no one could stop that.

Great Xia only did it first.

In the future, when other Lords raised similar demands, the guilds would face the fate of being suppressed if they were not willing. Even to say that they might be chased out of the territory.

Helplessly, at the current juncture, there was no land without an owner even when looking out at the entire wilderness. Apart from some belonging to NPC dynasties, 90% were controlled by Lords.

If they were chased away by a Lord, there would be no place for the guild on this Earth.

Just this point alone meant that guilds could not fight against Lords.

In this aspect, Gaia was indeed biased toward the Lords and was pretty much stepping the adventure gamemode players into the dirt. Of course, only those with little intelligence would think this way, as they did not understand the intentions of Gaia.

Not to mention the high elimination rate of Lord players, but numerous famous people had also fallen in this road of conquest. While the final victors like Ouyang Shuo would hold large power, they would also hold greater responsibility on Planet Hope.

“With great power comes great responsibility.” This was not just a random statement.

Gaia already stood and considered things from the standpoint of mankind and would not truly be biased. As for her care for Bing’er, it did not affect anything, so no one would bother about it.

After all, Gaia was also a person, and people had their preferences.

Taking a step back, before the 6th year of Gaia, Lord players walked through so many thorns in the wilderness. They were like blades being sharpened, clearing out bandits, building cities, reclaiming land, and opening up a new world.

Those that contributed were victors like Ouyang Shuo while there were also numerous failures. Due to such contributions, they deserved some credit.

As a result, when calculating the achievement value, these fallen Lords had some gains.

During this period of time, the adventure gamemode players had been holed up in the imperial city, protected by it and aimlessly passing their days. Now that the wilderness was peaceful, the guilds move over to the territories and continue to enjoy protection.

Where was the fairness in that?

Now, it was the time for the Lords to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

For things to develop to such a stage, if guilds and territories merged, it would be good for both of them. On the other hand, it was bad for both if they split. Ouyang Shuo’s actions during these past few days was to spread this clear message to them.

If one was not a fool, they would be able to understand this point.

Blood Romance obviously was not a foolish person. If he was such an individual, he would not have placed down the pride in him and choose to lower his head to Great Xia just because of Ouyang Shuo’s performance.

The final battle was just a method.

On the stand, looking down at the large cheering crowd, Ouyang Shuo shook hands with Blood Romance. From now on, they were people on the same boat, fighting for the same goals while having their own roles.

The role of Xia King was not just the power of a feudal lord, rather, it was a heavy responsibility.

Seeing that, Xie Siyun smiled and said to Blood Romance, “Snow-War Rose wanted to be the first guild. Who would have known that you would snatch that spot?”

“It is not too late now.” Blood Romance’s mood was really good.

“That’s right! Blood Shadow Alliance wants to join.” Moon Shines over the River expressed hurriedly.

Since the three giants had all nodded their heads, the other guild leaders naturally knew their place, and they all showed their support.

Similar to how they dealt with the Blood Evil Mercenary Group, the Imperial Court would not take them all in at once. Instead, they would make them choose an elite force to join the army. Doing so would help stop the opposition voices within the guild.

Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush.

As he had mentioned before, this matter was going to happen, and it was not something anyone could stop.

Any legendary hero would be able to direct the situation to one that favors themselves.

6th month, 1st day, country war month officially begins.

The flames of war blazed in the wilderness that had not been calm for long, wrapping up the entire globe.

Under such a backdrop, the China region battlefield seemed a little depressing.

On the north, the Romanov Dynasty only sent an army as a token of their participation to disturb Liaojin Province, showing no signs of invading.

Even to say that there was not a single Russian adventure gamemode player.

The ones that were afraid were not just the China region players. Even the Russians became fearful after the system update, much less asking them to cross thousands of miles to disturb Great Xia.

No one was so free.

Romanov Empire leader Pushkin chose his country war target as Great Xia because he had no choice.

North of Russia was the empty Artic ocean, while east was North America which belonged to Dawson. To its south was China, while west was their ally, the Persian Empire as well as Europe.

Apart from China, the rest were all allies.

Originally, using the chance of the country war month to take down a small European state was their best choice. However, Silver Hand did not allow them to do so.

The Pushkin family was an awkward presence in Silver Hand. The European families were wary of them like one would be wary of a thief and did not want to give them a chance.

Under such a situation, how would they allow them to attack Europe?

With nothing to choose, Pushkin had no choice but to select China. However, he had no intentions of conquering China, as that was not worth it at all.

Hence, it resulted in their lack of interest.

Southwest, Java was also in an awkward situation where they could not advance or retreat.

If Great Xia started a cross ocean war like last year, Java would have to go all out in fear of being wiped out.

Java Lord Uwais would be able to borrow the power of the players to go all out against Great Xia.

Unexpectedly, Great Xia did not fall for that. The country war had already started, but they showed no intentions of attacking Java. They only arranged the Heluo and Nanjiang legion corps to defend the surrounding islands as a show of strength.

Hence, the Java players were not that interested either.

After the Badong Squadron was destroyed, the huge risk of cross ocean war was enough to crush all their courage. Not to mention the players, but even the territory army did not dare to go out to sea.

The entire atmosphere became really awkward.

The only one that made moves was India.

After learning that the Great Zhou and Great Jin player groups were not going to participate in this war, the India Region felt really confident. All their powers bonded together as they shouted out the slogan of reclaiming their title as best in Asia.

Even their adventure gamemode players were really eager.

In their eyes, using their entire region to take down Great Xia would not be a problem. Since that was the case, they should naturally join in to try to gain something from it.

In truth, snatching a piece of China’s land was the dream of the Indians.
