Chapter 590: Chapter 265: Invincible in Battle

Li Changhe naturally couldn’t hear the whispers of the [Players].

As a personal soldier of Li Yang, he didn’t have to spend time being assessed like the conscripts.

But he still had to quickly get into his duties as a personal soldier.

Fortunately, as a Working Emperor, he didn’t mind.

It was no different than being under a bridge applying a screen protector one minute, and playing a mascot in an aquarium the next.

He followed Li Yang, along with other personal soldiers, inconspicuously with his face armor down. He could even chat with his friends through [Friends] and slack off a bit.

Li Yang, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky. With the appearance of a rebel fortress near Yuezhou City, he, a defender general, was being investigated.

It made sense, considering such a huge fortress was built right under their noses, Li Yang could hardly escape blame.

If it weren’t for Li Yang leading an attack into the valley and fighting the rebels earlier, he might have already been labeled as a rebel too.

Now, with the arrival of the Thousand Cattle Guard, the standing battle group was even more controlled by the Thousand Cattle Guard.

Moreover, Li Yang was being personally investigated by the Thousand Cattle Guard’s battleship leader.

The paint on the Thousand Cattle Guard’s battleships was black with gold edges, even more oppressive than the blue and white paint of Li Yang’s standing battle group.

As a member of the royal guard, the Thousand Cattle Guard acted with extreme arrogance.

Upon arriving at the military camp, the Thousand Cattle Guard commander completely ignored the welcoming armored soldiers.

Instead, he directly unsealed the Thousand Cattle Guard soldiers on the train, taking over the garrison.

This was a blatant slap in the face. It would have been fine if it happened normally since the local armies indeed had less prestige than the forbidden armies.

However, doing it in front of so many conscripts and other battle groups really went too far.

This is one of the punishments the military has handed down to the standing battle group.

The standing group leaders were furious but could only quietly accept the investigation.

"So you’ve found the location of Li Ba’s old fortress?" The Thousand Cattle Guard commander looked at Li Yang, kneeling on one knee.

Powerful soldiers in black armor surrounded Li Yang, with black flags flying. The oppressive atmosphere was palpable.

They were the royal guards, and this time they had come not to reinforce the frontline but to investigate and exterminate the rebels. If they found a problem with the standing battle group, they would have no problem reacting instantly.

Li Yang’s face was somber, but he nodded, "Yes, our scouts have figured out the general location of the enemy fortress. As soon as the other battle groups arrive, we’ll attack the fortress, leaving no room for the rebels."

"What great accomplishments indeed, to have a rebel fortress built right under your noses," the battle group commander mocked. "Li Yang, a veteran emerged from the sixteen guards, seems you’ve regressed. Duke Lu’s face has been completely lost because of you!"

Li Yang’s face turned green, but he couldn’t refute it.

The battle group commander paused for a moment before continuing, "Be grateful, Li Yang. His Majesty only wants to kill the rebels now, or else you would have suffered more. Take this opportunity to atone for your sins."

"Yes." Li Yang knew why. It was said that the rebel Li Ba had been spotted near Yuezhou one night.

He was most likely in that fortress. If they could completely eliminate the rebel Li Ba, perhaps they could really atone for their sins.

"But their timing is too strange," Li Yang murmured.

"Of course. If they hadn’t attacked the conscription squad, you guys might still be oblivious now," the Thousand Cattle Guard commander snorted. "As for their intentions, we’ll find out soon enough. Once the last two battle groups arrive tomorrow, there will be eight battle groups gathered here, so there’s nothing to worry about. Even the former hero, rebel Li Ba, will not be able to escape defeat!"

Eight battle groups, including elite ones like Dragon Might and Thousand Cattle Guard.

It would only take a moment to break through a simple fortress.

The Thousand Cattle Guard, or rather Emperor Li Zhi behind them, clearly intends to eradicate the rebels with absolute force.

Although this would delay the march, the Great Tang Emperor was more concerned about the harm caused by the rebels than the war at the border.

Especially after learning about Li Ba’s appearance, there was a certain ruthlessness to eliminate every trace of him.

This can also be considered inside information, which Li Changhe passed along to others through [Friends].

Apart from Yuezhou City, where conscription will be delayed due to the need to eradicate the rebels, the other two conscription cities have already started sending battle groups to support the frontline. Bai Luohe and Mo Mang said they had already boarded a large ironclad ship of the Great Tang and would accompany the fleet to the frontline.

In the border city, because of the elusive nature of Chaos,[Players]found it difficult to find a corpse to study.

And the defending Great Tang soldiers were in a defensive state, making it difficult for hidden players in the city to make contact with the enemy.

It wasn’t that dangerous, though.

After analysis, various players agreed it was best to wait for the Great Tang military to make a move first.

There must be a considerable number of Chaos, and they can’t let the players escape the border city and face Chaos by themselves, right?

So for most players, it’s a time of waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Li Changhe, Yang Dong, and Moon God were no different.

After today’s conscription, they joined the standing battle group and became Auxiliary Army, moving with the battle group.

When they learned they might attack the so-called rebel fortress tomorrow, the players weren’t too worried.

According to the information, they wouldn’t be the main force on this battlefield.

When facing enemies with armored soldiers, the Auxiliary Army wasn’t very effective and didn’t have to desperately create opportunities for the armored soldiers.

Eight battle groups...nearly eight thousand armored soldiers.

The soldiers of Great Tang said, "Never have we fought such a wealthy battle before."

In the past, they would face many times or even tens of times more enemies than a single battle group, and the Auxiliary Army would have to fight with their all.

Now it wasn’t a concern, with over eight thousand armored soldiers, one could kick Hailing Mountain to death without any help from the Auxiliary Army.

Inside the military fortress, several battle group commanders discussed tomorrow’s tactics.

Although they had the advantage in numbers, the fortress was located deep in the mountains, difficult to attack with its back against the mountain, and many siege weapons couldn’t be transported easily.

They had to find a suitable tactic.

Among them was a conspicuous figure, Xue Shen.

He was the only one of the battle group leaders not wearing steam armor.

This was confidence in his strength, as even without the armor, his skills were extraordinary.

Looking at the cold face on the main seat, the battle group commanders couldn’t help but complain in their hearts, "For god’s sake, you don’t say a word and make us look incompetent."

As if hearing the thoughts of the battle group commanders, Xue Shen spoke up, "No need to worry."

His voice was similar to Li Changhe’s but lacked Li Changhe’s playfulness. Instead, it had an awe-inducing cold indifference.

The tone carried a certain casual and chilly arrogance, "I...am invincible in battle!"
