Right as Ouyang Shuo took down the ten or more soldiers, a flurry of footsteps sounded out in the darkness of the night.

Ouyang Shuo’s eyes contracted, while he grasped the sword in his hand.

An entire squadron of soldiers appeared in his line of sight. They wore the same uniform as the previous group of soldiers.

“They are in cahoots?”

Ouyang Shuo muttered.

In a one against one hundred situation, Ouyang Shuo would need to carefully weigh his options.

Luckily, he was not fighting alone.

Just as the enemy wanted to attack and retrieve their injured brothers, another flurry of footsteps sounded out. It was Chen Dameng and the personal guards; they emitted a suppressive aura.

The personal guard on night watch felt that something was weird, so he went to inform his captain.

Chen Dameng finally arrived before both sides engaged.

These two forces bumped into one another coincidentally.

As the space was small and limited, it appeared extremely cramped.

The smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

“Lord!”

Chen Dameng glared at the enemy before calmly bowing toward Ouyang Shuo.

“Take them down!”

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate at all. The enemy squadron that had just arrived should be the troops in charge of clearing up loose ends. Since their plan had failed, they wanted to destroy the bodies.

How could Ouyang Shuo allow them to act so bold and shameless?

After receiving the order, Chen Dameng did not say anything else. He simply led his men and charged toward the enemy.

In a head to head battle, the Divine Martial Guards did not fear anyone.

Furthermore, the personal guards formed the most elite presence among the Divine Martial Guards.

The battle between the two sides had totally shattered the peace and quiet of the barracks. Everyone was alerted and woke up.

After a short while, many Lords had gathered outside the tents to take a look at the situation.

The sight of Ouyang Shuo standing there with his sword in hand left them stunned.

Then they noticed the bloodied Little White beside Ouyang Shuo, and they started to grasp the situation.

These people just watched on and did not help.

Ouyang Shuo remained expressionless when he saw that.

Chen Dameng did not let him down.

When the Han Army patrol rushed over, Chen Dameng’s forces had already taken down the army.

“Lord, what is going on?” The leading officer asked.

Ouyang Shuo described the entire course of events to him.

This time, the situation had completely blown over.

He had living evidence and material evidence, so the culprit could not refute his allegations.

However, this was a battle map. Each of the Lord’s troops were not registered individually. As such, finding out which Lord this group of men belonged to would be highly difficult.

The officer had a difficult expression on his face, he was truly afraid that Ouyang Shuo would use this matter to stir up trouble.

Ouyang Shuo looked around at the surrounding Lords and coldly uttered, “Why, you dare to do it but do not dare to admit? What a scum, to use such despicable methods.”

“….”

The entire field remained silent. Since the culprit had acted secretly, they would not stupidly step out and admit their wrongdoings.

Be it those who were present of those who were not, they were all suspects.

Since no one admitted to the matter, Ouyang Shuo was also helpless. Moreover, as time was limited, he could not interrogate them one by one.

“Officer, why don’t you leave these men for me to deal with?”

Ouyang Shuo turned around and looked at the patrolling officer.

“Lord, please proceed!”

The officer was naturally delighted to rid this problem from his hands.

Normally speaking, for battles between players, they would try their best to not interfere.

Ouyang Shuo nodded. His eyes suddenly turned cold, as he signaled to Chen Dameng.

Chen Dameng understood. He led his troops forward, and each one of them pulled out their Tang Blades. They held their weapons against the necks of the enemy, ready to enact justice.

The captured soldiers were real men; none of them pleaded for mercy.

At this sight, Chen Dameng cut down with his Tang Blade first.

Instantly, around one hundred heads dropped to the ground one by one, and blood spilled everywhere.

The fresh red blood vividly described the cruelty of this battle. Before the army had even set out, the Lords had started to stab at one another.

Amongst the Lords present, some of their faces could not help but tense up.

When the surrounding Lords saw the mercilessness of the Lianzhou Lord, they felt a chilly wind.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to use action to establish his dominance; he wanted to warn his other enemies to not have any ideas about him.

Do not touch a tiger’s rear.

If not, you would not only fail to steal the chicken, but you would lose the rice you had fed it too.

Ouyang Shuo had no intentions of finding out the mastermind right now. As long as this quest had not ended, the fox tail of the enemy would surely reveal itself.

After the commotion, the barracks regained its peace and quiet once more.

As for whether or not some people could sleep peacefully, that was a whole other matter.

The next half of the night remained tranquil.

Early next morning, the barracks grew busy once more.

The events of last night had zero effect on the eagerness of the Lords.

Some of them had even led their troops to hurry out of the barracks, throwing themselves into the desert. Ouyang Shuo did not hang around; he gathered Zhang Liao and Xunlong Dianxue and left together.

Early in the morning, the red sun started to rise.

The desert seemed utterly calm; the sand dunes were like waves, having many ups and downs. It looked incredibly gentle, reducing the worries the Lords had for the desert.

Only Huyan Qiu entered his zone the moment he stepped into the desert. He looked around at the shapes and surroundings of the desert, and he would occasionally glance up at the sky. He did not have a relaxed expression.

Ouyang Shuo rode on his war horse and looked around.

As they had just entered the desert, the troops were all close together. There were player forces all around him. The sharp-eyed Ouyang Shuo also noticed that some of the Lords were looking at him strangely.

He had felt these same eyes on him last night.

Since his morning, the strange feeling had grown stronger and more intense.

Upon closer inspection, it was not hard to see that more than six groups of troops were following behind them.

They were being stalked!

“Big brother, something is not right!”

Xunlong Dianxue was not a fool. He had also noticed them, so he came over to Ouyang Shuo’s side.

“It is not right.” Ouyang Shuo nodded.

“But why? There’s no reason for them to go head-to-head with us. They’ll get nothing in return.” Xunlong Dianxue could not hide his doubts.

“Normally, they would have nothing to gain. But what if someone spurred them on on propose?” Ouyang Shuo slowly gathered his emotions.

“Are you talking about Di Chen?”

Xunlong Dianxue immediately reacted.

“Apart from them, who else likes to play these kinds of games?” Ouyang Shuo replied.

“What would make those Lords willing to take such a risk?” Xunlong Dianxue muttered before he slowly said, “Items exchanged for by battle resource points?”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and smiled, “Eighty percent chance of that.”

Just the detailed troop movement map was enough to tempt all those Lords. Without it, they had no chances of winning.

As a result, those Lords were willing to take such a risk.

“Truly despicable!”

Xunlong Dianxue could not hide his despise toward Di Chen and the others.

Ouyang Shuo showed no emotion.

Who knows, their plan might backfire on them instead.

After all, to squeeze into the top 50 territories of China, you could hardly be a fool.

Thinking about it further, it was not hard to come to certain conclusion.

In comparison, the three alliance armies of the Shanhai Alliance was a harder bone to chew on.

Di Chen and the others had probably noticed this point.

Setting out in the morning, Ouyang Shuo paid special attention and noticed that the three of them were not present.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo believed that a bunch of rats had also followed them.

In the current situation, their two alliances had become the prey of the other Lords.

“This battle quest is becoming more and more interesting.” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

Xunlong Dianxue gave him a stunned expression. How could Ouyang Shuo laugh at this moment?

……

Just like that, Ouyang Shuo slowly led his troops forward across the boundless desert, as a huge tail followed them.

The Lords following behind them were not willing to charge forward to try and forcefully snatch the guide.

If they could follow the Shanhai City troops all the way, why do anything extra? Of course, if someone else was willing to act as the vanguard, that was another matter.

The morning had an extremely harmonious and weird atmosphere.

The players had finally dived deep into the desert.

Looking out left and right, it was all endless desert.

In their eyes, apart from sand, there was more sand.

Their curiosity toward the desert at the start slowly became boredom and disinterest.

Especially as time went on, the temperature in the desert grew higher and higher. At noon, the sun hung high overhead. The fiery sun scorched the earth, making one unable to raise a single bit of energy.

These player troops did not have any desert battle experience. Hence, under such circumstances, all the troops appeared really spiritless.

Even Little White was listless and showed a lack of energy.

Last night, Ouyang Shuo had taken a look at its wounds. Luckily, they were only some skin deep wounds.

“Lord, something is not right.”

Suddenly, Huyan Qiu, who had not spoken anything since the start, galloped on his horse over to Ouyang Shuo.

“What’s wrong?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

“Looking at the situation, it seems like a sandstorm approaches.” Huyan Qiu reported the bad news.

When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, he looked up, only to see the clouds hanging high up in the sky. Nothing seemed to be off.

Of course, Huyan Qiu was professional, so Ouyang Shuo heeded his advice. He immediately ordered his troops to shrink their formation.

Facing the sandstorm head on was a bad idea.
