Chapter 592: Chapter 267: Setting Off

In the early morning, Li Changhe was awakened by the urgent sound of drums.

It was the signal for assembly in the Great Tang’s army.

Even with the current level of technology in the Great Tang, the existence of the assembly drums was still preserved. Three beats, and you must be present. Otherwise, you face military punishment.

Li Changhe rose quickly, swiftly put on his armor and helmet, covering himself tightly.

This was to conceal his make-up. Because the mimetic clay he used would become stiff in this cold weather and would easily reveal his disguise.

Li Changhe could only rely on his makeup skills and use the clay as an auxiliary means for disguise.

Fortunately, the Great Tang’s auxiliary armor was a full face-covering type, and no outsider could recognise him as long as he wore it.

Pushing the door open, he saw a private running past.

"What happened?" Li Changhe asked as he followed.

"It seems that a scout has brought back some news, the battle group’s tactics need to be adjusted. Hurry up and follow the captain, be careful of military punishment!" The private swiftly responded, also teaching Li Changhe how to behave according to the expressions of the generals.

Li Changhe quickly found Li Yang.

As the armored soldiers were equipped with similar armor models and wore solid helmets, they could only be identified by the numbers on their shoulders.

Li Yang was the captain of the third team of the standing battle group, so the words ’San 001’ were engraved on his shoulder.

Looking at Li Yang, Li Changhe thought, these armored soldiers wear protagonist binders, how can they discern their mood? Even with his cold reading skill ex, he couldn’t figure it out.

Fortunately, Li Yang didn’t hide anything, giving Li Changhe a general understanding.

It was said that the sentries posted in the valley to guard the fortress had noticed unusual activities of the rebels inside the fortress.

They urgently reported to the battle group.

"They probably realized that all the battle groups are closing in on them and plan to forcefully break out of the encirclement," Li Yang said. "Well, our standing battle group can clean up this stain! By the way, it will give you new recruits a chance to see blood."

For the standing battle group, the fact that a fortress was quietly built within their jurisdiction, stuffed with an unknown number of armored soldiers, was a great humiliation.

They were eager to wash away this humiliation, otherwise, even if the emperor didn’t punish them, they wouldn’t be able to lift their heads in front of their battle group brothers.

According to the plan last night, seven battle groups other than the Dragon Might Battle Group would participate in the battle.

Three battle groups were already stationed at various entrances and exits of the valley with conscripted auxiliary forces to firmly lock the rebels in the mountains.

The standing battle group of Yuezhou City and the Thousand Cattle Guard Battle Group would be the main attackers. They would enter the valley and attack the fortress.

Two more battle groups rushing over would serve as reinforcement forces.

As for the Dragon Might Battle Group led by Xue Shen, due to the high conscription requirement, the auxiliary army was not yet fully formed. They had to stay in the barracks to continue conscription.

It was not a scene with eight major battle groups coming out together as Li Changhe had imagined.

But it was understandable. The location of the fortress was said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack, and more troops wouldn’t be useful.

Moreover, in the matter of washing away the stain, the standing battle group did not want to borrow the hands of outsiders, let alone the hands of the heroes of the Great Tang.

This was also why other battle groups silently stationed themselves at the entrances and exits of various valleys at the request of the standing battle group.

In fact, if the standing battle group didn’t have to send some soldiers to guard the fortress and Yuezhou City. For example, the armored teams that the Moon God and Bai Yujing belonged to were assigned to be stationed in Yuezhou City.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t plan to give the main battlefield to the Thousand Cattle Guard.

However, the Thousand Cattle Guard, being a forbidden army group, didn’t plan to give way to the standing battle group. They were specifically here for the rebels, and they didn’t respect the standing battle group. They’re also likely not willing to give up their position.

They even somewhat suspected the standing battle group.

The essential issue was not significant. The rebels should still be killed. With so many battle groups gathered, there was no chance for the rebels to rebel.

Now, the rebels in the fortress were acting unusually. They probably planned to break through the encirclement, and the plan might have to be advanced accordingly.

With the thunderous sound of the war drums, the auxiliary army soldiers quickly assembled.

They had undergone professional training in various places and quickly integrated into the battle group system.

The formidable army that sent chills down the spine of various countries quickly set off for battle, like a steel torrent.

Those recruiters who hadn’t yet finished their recruitment looked envious. They didn’t know who the enemy was, but with so many battle groups taking action, wasn’t it an easy task to gain merit?

The civilians cheering on the side of the big road also broke out in passionate shouts.

They believed that the large army was heading to the front line, ready to teach those blind enemies a harsh lesson and bring back some war spoils.

Li Changhe was riding his warhorse, weaving through the troops.

Armored soldiers ran pretty fast, and soldiers could only keep up by riding warhorses.

And Li Changhe and his privates had to act as messengers at this moment, occasionally passing down the commands of the generals.

He had just passed a team, having delivered Li Yang’s instructions, when he heard the cheering of the civilians.

He couldn’t help but think, "The people of Great Tang are really confident, or it can be said that they’re arrogant. The battle hasn’t even started yet, and they’re already thinking about the war spoils."

This reminded Li Changhe of the time when he and Box were young. They planned to buy a lottery ticket with the hope of getting rich overnight, so that old man Yun wouldn’t have to work so hard.

But they hadn’t even bought the ticket yet.

The two of them argued endlessly over whether to eat beef noodles or fried rice after they won.

Of course, they ended up with nothing.

It was a black mark in their history.

"After all, they have the capital to be arrogant. Also, think about what knowledge you left them with." The voice of Yun Ting echoed in his mind, "Perhaps, before long, the Great Tang will become like the Eternal Throne."

"That’s hard to say. The First Emperor is already a player...this gap isn’t that easy to close." Li Changhe thought about it and reacted.

So many players have entered the Great Tang. If a player sacrifices himself in the Great Tang, it might lead to the leakage of player identity.

This could give the world of Great Tang the qualification to the [Evolution Game]. Maybe...

Then, Li Changhe saw the young maiden, Chen Yu, and several Great Wall players stationed in Yuezhou City amidst the crowd. They came to watch the excitement, probably hoping to gather some news from the crowd.

Even though he was wearing a face-covering helmet, the young maiden recognized him and waved at him cheerfully.

Li Changhe smiled inwardly and galloped past.

"He really is...cool." In the crowd, Chen Yu murmured softly.

"I won’t give him to you." Xiao Nan gave her a sidelong glance.

Their relationship was actually quite good, but the young maiden was guardedly vigilant of Chen Yu on this matter. Perhaps it was due to her lack of water.

"Ahem, no, I didn’t mean that." Chen Yu saw her colleagues looking at her like they were watching a drama and blushed. "I was talking about his manner... or say, his aura."

"Indeed, even if he’s dressed in the same armor and making the same movements as others, he subtly shows the aura of leading thousands of troops into a charge."

"A born leader, huh?"
