Chapter 342: Chapter 227 The Historical Slice has been Stitched! (Requesting Guaranteed Monthly Votes!)_5

As for those cavalry players, they now found themselves in a rather awkward predicament.

None of the previous gameplay had ever encountered such a situation where they were so utterly useless in combat!

All one could say was that the battle had changed too rapidly this time. It seemed Xingtian was rather impetuous, directly leaping from the charge of the Jin soldiers to taking the field himself, leaving no opportunity for the player cavalry to chase down the fleeing troops and show off their skills.

"Is that it?"

A player let out a dismayed cry.

They had assumed that, as one of the four great demons under Demon Lord Chi You, he would be tough to take down, but now Xingtian appeared somewhat fragile.

Finally, Xingtian grew completely enraged, letting out a roar as if intending to continue siphoning all the Magic Power from the entire historical slice, clearing out the pesky bugs in front of him.

But just then, on a mountain peak along the southern bank of the Yangtze River, a mighty and righteous energy rose up.

The players felt the strength within them being drained and concentrated.

Once again, Beichen ascended into the air on a staircase constructed by the mighty and righteous energy, and with his appearance, the entire historical slice began to thunderously tremble. The invisible stars in the sky, the mountains, rivers, and streams on the ground seemed to also congeal the mighty and righteous energy, surrounding Beichen!

"Huaxia, evil demons, begone!"

After a furious shout, the power of the Return Orderers transformed into a mighty and righteous energy, merging into an unstoppable mighty torrent, sweeping toward the distant Xingtian!

For Meng Yuan, who was now appearing as Beichen, this kind of conclusive battle was the easiest.

After all, it had come down to a pure comparison of strength.

I will use only one move anyway. If you block it, you win.

At this stage, with the give and take, the power of demons was at a sheer disadvantage and could no longer hold out.

The players once again turned into Spiritual Body state, cracking seeds and enjoying the spectacles.

"Did this Return Order Expedition end a bit too quickly... Has it already gone through the introductory CG?"

"Ah, is this the ultimate challenge mode that exceeds the designer’s initial planning?"

"Maybe. Following the normal gameplay, even if Wang Wenchuan amended the laws to prolong for ten years, the Flying Tiger Army he built would have been just a cold weapon force, requiring a hard fight against the Jin soldiers.

"But now, we’ve directly started producing flintlock guns and mass execution by firearms in the Qi Dynasty, extending the ultimate challenge mode to the Return Order Expedition, so the battle has become rather dull..."

"I’m not satisfied yet!"

"It seems Xingtian might not have a brain, but it’s not particularly stupid. It could see that having the Jin soldiers keep charging to their deaths would only hasten their defeat, so it concentrated the Demonic Qi, thinking to turn the tables with its colossal form. It just didn’t anticipate that the cannons would be much more powerful than it had imagined."

"I’ve noticed a pattern; whether it’s Return Orderers or demons, the side that enlarges first loses."

"Look quick, the outcome is about to be decided!"

"Beichen is still amazing, one move per encounter, and each is a decisive win."

"After all, he’s the NPC who triggers the cutscene CG. If we couldn’t win, he wouldn’t have shown up..."

In the midst of the players’ banter, the battle between Beichen and Xingtian was approaching its climax.

The boundless mighty and righteous energy, like a sharp sword, pierced deeply through Xingtian’s great shield and through its body!

Under the assault of the mighty and righteous energy, the Demonic Qi on its body disappeared as quickly as snow melts under the sun.

Xingtian seemed to still want to counterattack, swinging its great axe frantically, which eventually turned into impotent fury.

At that point, it was only a matter of time before the Demonic Qi that Xingtian left in this historical slice was utterly eradicated.

The players were already preparing to return to reality and flood the forums.

However, at the last moment, something unexpected happened.

Out of the chaotic flow of time outside the historical slice, a stream of black Qi burrowed in!

This black Qi was like a fierce wind, raising a dust storm that blotted out the sky. Then it wrapped around Xingtian, seemingly conveying some message.

"No!"

Xingtian appeared unwilling, but enveloped by the black Qi and increasingly weakened by the might and righteous energy, it eventually fled towards the distant chaotic flow of time.

"Want to escape? Leave it behind!"

Beichen once again mobilized the mighty and righteous energy of the entire historical slice, thrusting at the two escaping mists.

With a "whoosh," the mighty and righteous energy pierced through the bodies of the two great demons, dimming their Demonic Qi even further.

Then more black mists spread, nearly blocking the vision of all the players.

Sand flew, rocks hurtled, sky was obscured!

When the players opened their eyes again, the entire historical slice had returned to clear skies and vibrant land.

The last trace of the demon’s power had been completely destroyed.

With this victory of the Return Order Expedition, a fog began to spread across the players’ view.

This signified the end of today’s joy, and they were about to awaken in reality.

And "Dark Sand," the game, was also about to undergo maintenance before the new version update.

The players all felt somewhat reluctant to leave, feeling that this passionate national war gameplay had been shorter than the previous ones, which was a shame.

But the grand scenes that should have been there were all there.

"See you all on the forums!"

"I can’t wait to play with flintlock guns in the Return Orderer fortress!"

"Logging off, see you all back!"
