Resurrection Empire

Chapter 701 263: The Surprise Troops Achieve Merits, The Pinnacle of My Life, Heir to Mengdu Group [6000 Words]_4

He was somewhat surprised and said in perfect Mandarin, "Strange, isn't this nouveau riche guild only capable of frontal assaults? They actually executed a surprise attack? How many people?"

"Reporting to the general, five thousand Teshesnake Knights and five hundred guild players."

The young man revealed a peculiar smile on his face, "Just arrange a random ten-thousand-man long sword formation from the third reserve team to block them."

"As you command!"

On this side of the battlefield, Ren Zhong's ears were already filled with the sound of Ma Xiaoling's cry for help.

"Teacher Ren, I can't hold on! I'm running out of forces! What should I do? Your people on that side..."

Ren Zhong: "Shut up! Turn thirty degrees to the left, everyone start swift walking!"

With his order, the team of over five thousand suddenly turned, then accelerated, avoiding the ten-thousand-man long sword formation transferring from the side.

The opposition reacted quickly, and ten Rolling Logs War Carriages immediately turned.

The front of the massive war carriages lowered a drawbridge-like plank, and logs with numerous iron spikes began rolling down the plank.

Ren Zhong continued to command, "Teshesnakes ascend five meters, spew corrosive black mist upwards at a forty-five-degree angle! Blanket strike! Use half the spray volume!"

The surging black mist drew a serpentine arc in mid-air, just in time to meet the first wave of rolling logs.

The wooden structures of the rolling logs were quickly corroded and deformed, settling on the spot, effectively blocking more logs coming from behind.

The Teshesnake squad continued to advance, using the corrosive black mist once more to break through the enemy's shield and spear formation. After advancing another three hundred meters, Ren Zhong's military formation reached within the range of enemy fire archers.

Flaming arrows rained down from the sky.

Ren Zhong was not only unperturbed but actually pleased.

"All players mount the Teshesnakes! Teshesnake Army! Activate the Ruined Beast ability of Teshesnakes, the fire-swallowing capability! Flap your wings and charge!"

In the fictional million-year-history, many peculiar creatures which never truly appeared on Earth but were recorded in mythological stories were described to become the prototypes of ancient Ruined Beasts.

"Wilderness Era" was developed using this pseudo-history as a blueprint.

The Teshesnake is precisely the one recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas·Central Mountains".

Ren Zhong had been waiting for the opponent's fiery arrow clusters.

This was the final path of victory he found!

Five thousand Teshesnakes grew wings on their backs, tilted their heads to the sky, and opened wide their mouths like a giant whale gulping water.

The flames burning on the arrows mid-flight were absorbed into the mouths of the Teshesnakes, becoming trickling streams.

The Teshesnakes were overjoyed, their attributes increased, they broke through the unlit rain of arrows, and as a streak of light, they headed straight for a seemingly inconspicuous black vehicle beside the massive war carriage of the Central Army.

Ren Zhong was sitting at the forefront of the Teshesnake leader, drawing close to the target, leaping forward first, charging straight ahead.

Three elite Guardians of the Golden Lion Army approached closely.

The other Guardians moved in other directions, confronting the warriors landing one after another from the surprise attack.

Ren Zhong was not regarded as important.

At this moment, he only wore a standard soldier's uniform, not worth any attention.

However, his character level was extraordinarily high due to pay-to-win rewards.

He first swung the blade to easily deflect the weapon of a player Guardian in front of him, then spun around, using the horizontal slashing heavy move from the Yu family's dual swords, hit the opponent's neck with one strike, beheading him.

He then leaped back to gain space for himself.

Ren Zhong glanced at the black vehicle beside him, which was trying to retreat quickly.

It's you!

As the blood of the neck of the corpse in front splattered, Ren Zhong reached for his waist with his left hand, took out a Sound Arrow, and shot it into the sky.

Meanwhile, he communicated with Ma Xiaoling through the game, "If you want to win, just ignore everything and come in the direction of the Sound Arrow! I will teach you the correct beheading plan!"

...

Five minutes later, with the general fallen, the morale of the Golden Lion Army plummeted, their combat power sharply decreased, and their formation was in chaos.

Another half hour passed, leaving only over eighty thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Golden Lion Army was completely annihilated.

The national war ended.

A full server announcement appeared.

"Congratulations to the Xiliang Horse Gang for securing first place in this month's national war! The Xiliang Horse Gang Guild will receive the following rewards..."

The disheveled Ma Xiaoling laughed heartily, heavily patting the shoulder of Ren Zhong beside him, "Recruitment brother, you're awesome! I've reached the peak of my life!"

Ren Zhong turned his face away, looking at this simpleton.

He had just one thought in his mind.

I swear, on future real battlefields, I will never give her a single soldier.

She will always operate as an individual soldier.

Otherwise, it would truly be harming and misleading others.

Even though playing this game was a nerve-wracking experience, Ren Zhong couldn't say he came out empty-handed.

At least he learned about the severe "toxicity" of Teacher Ma, allowing him to avoid future failures in advance.

Additionally, through his successful surprise attack, he vaguely realized the role he should play in future wars.

There was one thing Ma Xiaoling wasn't wrong about.

The "Wilderness Era" can indeed strengthen a leader's warfare capability, it's just that she herself was nothing, she learned nothing.

Seeing Ma Xiaoling's satisfied expression, Ren Zhong couldn't help but want to take her down a peg, "Teacher Ma, where did you learn your troop-leading skills?"

Ma Xiaoling shook her head, "I figured it out myself."

Ren Zhong frowned, "Doesn't the school teach it? Aren't you from the combat profession at Professional College?"

Ma Xiaoling continued shaking her head, "They don't teach it, to be accurate, there's no textbook."

Ren Zhong asked puzzled, "Then where do the Golden Lion Army's tactics come from?"

"Oh, that. I heard all those unconventional ideas were developed by their chairman, Hugh Augustus himself. This rich person's character is quite strange, clearly the legal heir of the Mengdu Group, outrageously wealthy, yet in the game he only spends a few billion, and constantly likes to research how to use his self-developed tactics to defeat larger forces with smaller numbers. What's the point of that, anyway? It's just a game, just spend money to recruit troops and it's done. The one with more soldiers can crush ten strategies with strength!"

Ren Zhong was greatly shocked, yet kept a calm demeanor.

"So that's how it is, interesting. Then today he ran into you, bad luck for him."

"Exactly, I deployed you in that surprise attack team, he couldn't guard against it!"

"Awesome!"

Ren Zhong ignored her self-praise, while quickly summarizing three newly acquired elements in his heart.

First, Source Star has no genuine war thinking. It might be lost, or the "web" might be deliberately covering it. The wars described in the "Wan Nian Shi" must all be extremely simple and crude.

Second, the legal heir of the Mengdu Group is named Hugh Augustus.

Third, the Mengdu Group is not content.

Ren Zhong had envisioned many times the scene of his first encounter with the Mengdu Group's high level.

But he never expected that it would be in the game's disordered timeline, in such a subtle way, that he engaged in close combat with them.

Ha, I won.

And I will keep winning.
