Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Imperial Expedition? (Seeking Recommendations, Collections, and Investments)

"Was the style you used just now Octopole Fist? There’s a [Skill EX] in the side quest reward this time." Moon God analyzed, after all, as a lv7 [Player], he has seen quite a lot.

"If you don’t have any functional skills, just upgrade Octopole Fist to EX. First, let your close combat strength soar. It will also be useful during tasks." Moon God frowned and said, "Speaking of which, the Great Wall should have this kind of instruction."

Li Changhe’s heart moved, and Moon God’s meaning was somewhat suspicious of himself. After all, his actions and not like those of [Great Wall Players]. Moreover, there is the strange symbiotic body that makes Moon God somewhat doubtful.

"I just joined the Great Wall a few hours ago and entered this plot. I haven’t learned these teachings yet. I just got the Great Wall Windbreaker not long ago." Li Changhe’s words were half-true and half-false.

Moon God only frowned and thought about it without further investigation, and continued, "Then you will receive criticism when you return this time. All countries officially dread players changing the plot. Especially this kind of dynasty plot, they are afraid of getting another [Eternal Throne]."

Li Changhe shrugged, with no other choice.

They asked directly, and he couldn’t hide it anymore, or they might resort to force.

If any [Player] accidentally sacrifices themselves and the other party learns about [Evolution Game], that’d be true despair. At that time, they would face the whole Great Tang’s hunt.

Like now, people on both sides didn’t think about the identity of [Player]. It was already the greatest fortune.

Even so, Li Changhe felt a bit unsafe. It was only right to rush back quickly.

Moon God agreed, and the civil and military officers were very enthusiastic about them now.

That was all for interest. [Players] in their hearts were clear about it. If the existence of [Evolution Game] was accidentally discovered, then...another [Eternal Throne] would appear.

"Just now, I heard Father Xia saying that the war with the rats is expected to be in two days. The reinforcements have been stationed outside Changan City, and the residents inside the city have been nearly evacuated. Roughly estimated, about 300,000 people can participate in the war." Moon God frowned and said, "But, those rats haven’t made any moves till now."

"There won’t be anything good anyway." Li Changhe suddenly remembered something and threw a battle axe out of his [Backpack].

It was the weapon of that Chaos warrior that Li Changhe picked up at that time.

It was a [Fine] equipment, but there was no effect, just a purely tough one.

[Chaos Armored Soldier Battle Axe]

[Quality: Fine]

[Type: Weapon]

[Usage Condition: Strength 9]

[Effect: None]

[Remark: Chaos Warrior standard equipment]

Li Changhe can’t use this thing yet, he could barely pick it up, but it’s too hard to swing.

"You said that any elite among the rat swarm would have this kind of fine equipment, so would the lord drop any epic gear?"

"Then it will be a bit troublesome. The weapon with the highest damage on me is my rare hand cannon." Moon God frowned and said, "This is also what I’m worried about. Although Great Tang has gained a lot of technological power now, there isn’t enough time for their development. I just saw their craftsmen manufacturing weapons like crazy. Gunpowder bombs, improved continuous crossbows, single-person operated Eight Ox Crossbows, even dangerous things like white phosphorus, they plan to put all in their oil tanks and use them as incendiary bombs. But it’s not enough. Time won’t let it."

"It’s definitely not enough to equip the entire army. According to the assembly line method you provided, all the craftsmen that can be used are now in use, and only 3,000 Forbidden Army have changed to new weapons." A voice sounded behind the two.

It was Father Xia. No one knew when he came over.

Li Changhe threw the battle axe over to him with a flick of his hand. Father Xia raised his eyebrows and casually caught the axe, even showing off for a while. He praised it, saying, "What a wonderful weapon, it’s just a little ugly."

Moon God and Li Changhe looked at each other and thought, "This Father Xia must have a strength of about 12, right?"

What kind of monsters are these?!

"The scout who entered the underground of Longevity Square last night only returned. The scout didn’t investigate very thoroughly, but he can confirm that there are at least 10,000 troops inside, and more are constantly coming out of several glowing gates." Father Xia spoke very directly, "What Young Master Mo said is true. Those weapons are very powerful. The scouts are skilled, but they still suffered a fatal blow."

Li Changhe thought to himself, no matter how powerful your scouts are, they can’t stop bullets. The Warhammer Rat Plague is black technology, the Gatling mouse-man, Flamethrower Rat, Poison Gas Bomb Rat Man... If these appear in batches, it is estimated that they can reach a level of war.

It’s not something Great Tang can deal with right now. Science and technology are the primary force... It’s a pity that human science and technology is not as strong as these rats this time.

If only Yang Dong was here. His [War Fortress] ability is perfect to deal with these guys. Under the shipborne main gun, the rats would turn into dried rats.

Thinking of this, Li Changhe glanced at Moon God and asked, "Can your Moonlight Throne deal with the rat swarm with this strength?"

Moon God slowly shook his head, "If it was a cold weapon, I could probably have an unparalleled performance. Now... I can hold on for a minute at most under the attack. Then I’d be done."

Father Xia’s eyes moved and he smiled faintly, "As expected, the strength of you outsiders is extraordinary. You can also do those unusual things."

"Is this what Your Majesty thinks?" Moon God asked softly, "Now even you know that fighting the rat tide head-on, even the Great Tang will suffer heavy losses. Why not hold on for a while? Trap the rats in Changan City."

Father Xia shook his head and said, "Tang people don’t retreat." Not just him, even the soldiers nearby had an unyielding expression.

Li Changhe nodded, "Besides, the rat people will not give Great Tang any chance. You know they are still outraging now! Don’t talk about the future, in two days, their forces will probably reach 30,000. It will be even harder to fight then. Depending on Great Tang’s own ability to develop against the rat people level, it will take a long time. Great Tang can’t last that long."

Moon God thought for a moment and agreed.

In fact, [Players] have also discussed why the time they enter the plot is different. Now it’s clear.

[Evolution Game] is worried that after [Players] enter the plot, they team up and destroy the Teleportation Gate at that time.

After all, the strength of the rat people at that time was far less than it is now. Perhaps just a few thousand, or even a few hundred. Although Great Tang may not be able to deal with those technological weapons, [Players] can.

Not to mention a head-on battle, but sneaking in and getting rid of the gate. Great Tang can handle the rest; there is no risk at all. Mo Mang has similar skills; as long as there aren’t many intelligent creatures, she can sneak in.

It is impossible now; going there would be a suicide mission.

[Evolution Game] sends [Players] into the plot at different times, which eliminates this situation. [Players] are really raised by stepmothers!

"So, what does your Majesty mean?" Li Changhe asked.

Father Xia said indifferently, "Your Majesty means, tonight, troops will be dispatched. While the enemy’s strength hasn’t become irresistible yet, we will eliminate them! Great Tang will do its utmost, and please ask everyone to join in!"

"You said with all your might? What do you mean by that?" Li Changhe wasn’t surprised; with the temperament of that emperor, the earlier the enemy died, the better.

"His Majesty...will personally lead the troops!"
