68: Chapter 68: The Three Kingdoms Clash, Hell-Level Orc Troops Join the Fray!

"Understood!"

After receiving Xu Xuan's order, Chi You was already itching for a fight.

The Japanese Lords and South Korea had been fighting all night; it was time to start harvesting them.

As Chi You blew the war horn, countless soldiers holding long spears began to descend to the ground via the lift.

war elephant acted as the vanguard, while flying eagles spread their wings in the sky.

Looking at the main force of 5,000 spearmen, their so-called long spears were over 3 meters in length.

It could only be said that those under 3 meters were called short spears; only those exceeding 3 meters could truly be called long spears.

Compared to sword techniques which required training, the cost of training spearmen was the cheapest, and they had been the main force of armies throughout history.

These spearmen were all clad in lamellar armor woven from thin copper plates.

In an era where enemies still lacked bronze tools, Xu Xuan's soldiers being equipped with a layer of front-facing copper lamellar armor was already considered luxurious.

It could be said that due to the system, those female archers remaining on the island were all artisans.

They transformed into female archers during battle, and on ordinary days, those women all participated in production activities, with everyone engaged in manual manufacturing.

This was also a unique feature of the lord system; unlocked technology would be shared with all subjects, allowing these people to do anything.

Furthermore, after the Floating Island expanded, a large number of open-pit copper mines sprouted on the island, allowing Xu Xuan's resources to skyrocket in the short term.

The mines were right at their doorstep; they could be dug up and carried directly to the workshop for smelting. The entire island was only a little over two thousand meters long, just a few steps away.

Although the armor was all rushed and appeared very crude and ugly.

Yet, compared to other lords who were still wearing animal skins, with only a few receiving bronze armor as system rewards.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the armor rate of Xu Xuan's troops was the highest in the world.

When these 5,000 spearmen spent dozens of minutes transferring from the lift to the ground and lining up in formation.

Xu Xuan, who was on the Floating Island, drew his sword of goujian: "The enemy's strength has been fully grasped by us. Steady and sure, start harvesting heads!!"

"Understood!"

The opposition had gone through a series of destructions last night.

The ballistae in their warehouse were stolen, their arrows were burned, and they had been fighting all night. At this moment, Chi You and Xing Tian only needed to wait at their ease to harvest heads.

Their soldiers had a full night's sleep, were full of energy, and picked up their long spears with murderous intent, beginning their assault on the enemy a few kilometers away.

Just as this unit set out.

[Global Announcement: The largest war in history has begun!]

[Three-way melee: 102 Japanese Lords, 49 South Korean lords, and 1 Great Xia Lord have broken out into the largest three-way melee on the plains.]

[This battle is the first time a melee involving more than three countries has broken out on the Lord Continent.]

[Japanese Lords troop strength: 126,000.]

[South Korean lords troop strength: 61,000.]

[Great Xia Lord troop strength: less than 20,000.]

[Current score status.]

[Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan: 13 lords killed, 2,194 enemies killed in total.]

[Japanese Alliance: 3 lords killed, 15,932 enemies killed in total.]

[South Korean Alliance: 1 lord killed, 9,322 enemies killed in total.]

Seeing this global announcement, the lords who were resting and developing their farming all began to watch the report.

Although they could only see the casualties of both sides provided by the system and not the battle footage.

But lords globally loved watching this broadcast.

[Global Chat Channel]

[Miyamoto Takeshi (Japanese Lords): Gentlemen, I love war!]

[Jack (USA): Where are you guys fighting? Count me in; I'll bring several thousand lords over to join the fun.]

[Ruan Fugui (Annan): Fight, fight! It's better if more people from your three East Asian countries die!]

[Zheng Zaipu (South Korea): koreans will surely win! Keep it up, compatriots!]

[Andrew (United Kingdom): So brutal, the death toll is constantly doubling. It looks like the japanese people are winning.]

From the current data, the japanese people were leading by a large margin!

Seeing this record, the japanese people were also cheering, each one shouting encouragement as if injected with chicken blood.

Only they didn't know... Xu Xuan killing over two thousand people was just an appetizer...

That record of over 2,000 kills was achieved by Nezha leading 500 heavy cavalry.

And soon, lords globally discovered that something was wrong.

Xu Xuan, whose kill count was just 2,194, saw his numbers begin to double.

2,194 — 4,412 — 9,321 — 12,288 people.

When Xu Xuan's kills suddenly doubled, the smiles of the global lords gradually froze.

[Miyamoto Takeshi (Japanese Lords): Can someone tell me what's happening?]

[Zhou Wu (Great Xia Lord): Is anyone on the scene? Start a livestream for us to see.]

[Li Fei (Great Xia Lord): @Xu Xuan, brother, start a livestream, I'm begging you!]

Countless people wanted Xu Xuan or those present to start a livestream.

But who would be in the mood? Who would have the time to stream battle footage for others?

Xu Xuan naturally ignored those people as he had better things to do.

He was focusing on commanding his troops, advancing steadily.

Looking at the front line, those spears over 5 meters long began to take effect.

Xu Xuan's spearmen were wearing copper lamellar armor on their fronts; this armor was only made for one side, but it was lightweight and ensured frontal protection.

5,000 spearmen formed a dense Hedgehog Formation and began harvesting heads through the advantage of their long spears.

5,000 people, divided into five rows!

The spears of the first three rows were leveled at the enemy, while the soldiers in the back two rows were reserves, ready to replace the front row at any time.

The first three rows, totaling 3,000 spearmen, leveled their spears and advanced slowly in a dense Hedgehog Formation.

It was like a sheepdog, pressing forward step by step, herding the enemies together.

When the enemies were crowded together with nowhere to escape, the five-meter spears easily pierced their chests; their leather armor couldn't provide much protection and was easily penetrated.

The soldiers in the front row thrust and pulled!

Enemy corpses fell in large numbers, piling up on the ground to form a carpet of bodies.

Stepping over the corpses, the spears advanced slowly. The bamboo spears thrown by the enemy and the arrows they fired hit the spearmen but were all deflected by their copper lamellar armor.

When a round of arrow rain from the opponent arrived, only a dozen or twenty people from the 5,000-man formation fell.

The fallen soldiers were only slightly injured; they could survive if taken back for treatment.

The steady harvesting by the spearmen made the japanese people and koreans feel despair.

Not to mention this hedgehog tortoise formation, there were also war elephant nearby!

100 war elephant were divided into 2 teams, protecting the flanks on the left and right.

At the same time, there were Flying Eagle Riders in the sky. Their task was very simple—decapitation.

Xu Xuan's order to the 50 Flying Eagle Riders was: "As long as you see an enemy lord, shoot them to death for me!"

With spearmen and war elephant on the ground and flying eagle shooters specializing in sneak attacks in the sky.

The koreans and japanese people felt the gap of technological suppression for the first time.

Xu Xuan's ground force of less than 10,000 people was actually chasing them down... how could this war be fought?

Just as both sides were slaughtering each other...

The system suddenly popped up a warning in front of the lords of the three countries.

[Warning: An Orc Army is about to arrive on the battlefield. This batch of Orc legions has a relatively high level of civilization. Danger level: Hell.]

During the three-way melee, the system suddenly prompted that an Orc Army was attacking.

This?!

Seeing this prompt, Xu Xuan's eyes widened: "All units, retreat immediately!! Push out all the ballistae we have prepared!"
