Pang Country, a small nation situated north of Huang Country, had no choice but to join Huang Country's camp due to its geographical position.
Now, as the war begins, this nation, without any control over its fate, has become the battlefield for the great nations, with countless cities destroyed by the flames of war, and many of Pang Country's citizens reduced to cannon fodder.
On this day, Feng Xian, a rising young Grand General of Feng Country, was leading his army stationed on Pang Country's land, discussing with his fellow soldiers and some players on how to counter the offensive of Huang Country.
"Grand General! Over a hundred thousand monster troops have been detected from the south attacking our army! They are now within thirty li!"
At this moment, a scout rushed into the main tent of the military camp, urgently reporting to Feng Xian, who was discussing by a simple sand table with a few others.
"Have you found anything in other directions?"
Though only about twenty years old, Feng Xian, looking slightly fatigued, listened without any change of expression and immediately asked.
"Reporting to the General, we are conducting comprehensive reconnaissance elsewhere as well, but so far, we've only found a small number of Pang Country's militia."
The scout promptly replied after listening.
"Alright, you may go."
Feng Xian then gestured for the soldier to leave.
"This is already the twelfth wave of ten-thousand-level insect troops... Huang Country is determined to play a war of attrition."
Next to him, a tall young man in a shirt and slacks stroked his chin and frowned.
"Indeed, with Huang Country mastering the army that you call the Insect Race, even though our divine soldiers and Dragon Cavalry have more battle prowess, repeatedly engaging them is not a long-term solution."
Feng Xian's biggest headache now was this slow death-like situation; the enemy cunningly employed a rogue tactic, putting Feng Country's army in constant attrition; even if they have powerful units, they are gradually falling into a predicament.
"General, you rest first, let me lead the troops to annihilate this wave of insect troops."
Another NPC commander then requested Feng Xian for permission to lead the battle. No matter what, since the enemy troops were approaching, they had to send someone to engage them.
"No need, I will personally take the field this time, I refuse to believe that there isn't a way to break this deadlock!"
Feng Xian waved his hand, assigning the commander to guard the camp, then mounted his horse with the tall player and led the troops out.
He had been through this process many times in the past month, and each time he'd successfully wiped out the enemy's army, yet knew that such victories would eventually lead to failure.
After a while, on a wilderness more than ten li out, Feng Xian led twenty thousand divine soldiers and ten thousand Dragon Cavalry to encounter Huang Country's hastily advancing insect army, an odd-looking bunch of grotesque monsters, the largest as big as elephants, the smallest just the size of bees, and extremely troublesome to deal with.
"Flame Possession!"
Without needing Feng Xian's command, the tall player accompanying him pulled out a blue potion, took a full sip, then extracted a scroll and, with a pale face, cast a spell to imbue the entire Feng Country army with a burning state. This was invaluable experience earned from previous battles; in this flame enchantment state, the divine soldiers and Dragon Cavalry could dismantle the insect troops with minimal losses.
"Charge!"
Riding on a triceratops, Feng Xian felt the scorching heat elevating from his body and weapon, and immediately issued the attack command, sending the Dragon Cavalry to break the enemy's formation upfront, while the rear divine soldiers handled more meticulous work.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
...
Amidst the thunderous shouts of battle, the whole earth began to tremble. The two distinctly shaped armies fiercely collided, shooting out masses of blood and flesh, most of which were the Huang Country's insect troops crushed by the clearly superior-sized Dragon Cavalry.
Feng Xian didn't display particular valor in battle; he already understood that some players from Huang Country were targeting the generals here, so he kept a low profile by lying close to the back of the triceratops to make it hard for enemies to notice him amid the chaotic and urgent battle situation.
Boom boom boom~
Suddenly, cannon blasts erupted, with meteor-like shells descending from the sky, unselectively covering the battlefield of the two armies.
"How could there be Huang Country's artillery here?! It's impossible!"
Faced with this unexpected ambush, Feng Xian was slightly bewildered, because he trusted his scouts, believing they wouldn't be foolish enough to overlook the movement of the enemy artillery army, allowing Huang Country's powerful troops to approach them unnoticed.
But this happened regardless, and his shock wouldn't help—he could only issue commands to minimize losses.
"Disperse the whole army! Evade enemy artillery!"
The fire possession state enabled Feng Country's troops to withstand part of the artillery damage, coupled with the naturally sturdiness of the Dragon Cavalry; thus, facing Huang Country's artillery strike, there was hope for counterattack, though the losses would certainly be significant.
Unexpectedly, amid the dangerous artillery storm, a shadow-like figure suddenly shot out from the ground, wielding a dagger to attack Feng Xian, who had just shouted commands from the back of the dragon.
"So, you're here! Die!"
This was clearly a player from Huang Country; seemingly unconcerned about being caught in the artillery fire, he was determined to eliminate Feng Country's leader.
Feng Xian immediately noticed the enemy but remained unflustered, swiftly swinging the long-handled broadsword in his right hand downward with ferocity and precision.
"Physical attacks have no impact on me..."
The attacking Huang Country player showed disdain in his eyes, charging at the oncoming broadsword, confident due to his current state of physical immunity, allowing him to pass through such tangible attacks directly.
