“If that is the case, alright, Langye, listen well. For this mission, you are in charge of leading the Embroidered Uniform Guards under you to go to the orders and wait for orders. Once war breaks out, listen to General Luo’s orders, and you must gain achievements at the border!”

  Once the eighth prince gave his order lackadaisically, he waved his hand in an impatient manner. General Luo and the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards sensibly brought Langye with them when they turned around and left.

  At that moment, Langye still felt lost. He had not heard just what sort of quest the eighth prince had given to him clearly.

  But the conversation between the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and General Luo slowly allowed Langye to understand everything.

  ‘War…… Borders…… Tartars [1]…… Cavalier generals…… Bi Xuan…… Hu Bilie……’

  The words that they occasionally revealed shocked Langye time and again.

  When he watched how General Luo walked with a majestic while he was donned in armor and how there was anxiety on his face, Langye finally gradually understood what was going on, and he sucked in a sharp breath. ‘This time, we might have to fight in a major war!’

  Very soon, Langye obtained the details of the quest from the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

  And at the same time Langye received a mission and quest from the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the few major factions of power from the imperial court, such as the strongest eunuch Yu Jin from Eastern Depot, Luo Yan from Western Depot, who also happened to be the strongest martial artist in the palace, and Violent Wind and Bloody Rain, who was a Golden Saber Constable who had recently risen to fame in Six Doors received the orders from their highest commanding officers one after another and led their men to the stations at the borders. They worked together with the armies who were stationed there to guard the borders and began making preparations to be engaged in a bloody war with the Mongolian army who had become increasingly restless!

  A few groups of people left Beijing in secret.

  *****

  On the next day, the emperor notified all of China that the Mongolian army had gathered at the borders. The person who served as their garrison was Hu Bilier, and he had with him one million armored elite cavaliers! Not only was their army filled with great talents, they had also managed to get Bi Xuan with them, who was a peerless fighter in Myth Realm and also a grandmaster!

  Also, it was rumored that the tracks of the evil cult elites could be found among the Mongolian army.

  At the moment the players received the notification from the system, many of them were stunned, and they were struck dumb by the news for a long time.

  The Mongolian army was already trouble enough, but they had also managed to get people from the Tang Dynasty and Hu Bilie among them. The dynasties were a huge mess now!

  But the subsequent announcements brought even more chaos and shock.

  There was Bi Xuan and the evil cult among the Mongolian army, but Yangzhou’s Twin Dragons Xu Zhiling and Kuo Zhong, the Prince of Qin, Li Shimin, and Wang Chongyang, Guo Jing, and Zhang Wuji, who appeared in Hero’s Mountain Villa were among the Chinese army.

  \r \r \r

  Many players had their minds whirling because of this.

  “What the heck is going on?”

  “What in the world……? The people from different dynasties have all gathered together. What do they want?!”

  “Don’t say anything else. I’m already very dizzy because of this.”

  *****

  “The evil cult is working with the Mongolian army to invade China, and His Majesty is enraged!

  “His Majesty has released his sacred order from within the Forbidden City to notify the people and call out to all elites from the sects in the world of martial artists to face the enemies together. He calls for the wandering martial artists to gather together and march forward to aid the army guarding the borders. Please work together with the army to fight against the ambitious and greedy Mongolian army and the evil cult!”

  The war will last for a month!

  “During that period of time, the nation will face a crisis, and all sect branches as well as headquarters will be protected constantly by the system.

  “All martial artists can form their own teams to serve the country. You may enter the plains to kill the enemies, and you can also head to the borders to receive quests from the army and perform meritorious deeds.

  “During the quest period, if you kill a foot soldier, you will gain one point, which is the lowest point.

  “If you kill a scout, you will gain five points.

  “If you kill a Mongolian cavalier, you will gain ten points.

  “If you kill a Mongolian 10-man commander [2], you will gain fifty points.

  “If you kill a Mongolian 100-man commander, you will gain two hundred points.

  “If you kill a Mongolian 1,000-man commander, you will gain five hundred points.

  “If you kill a Mongolian 10,000-man commander, you will gain one thousand points.

  “If you kill an Inaction Realm evil cult elite, you will gain five hundred points.

  “If you kill an Inaction Realm evil cult elder, you will gain one thousand points.

  “If you kill a famous evil cult elite such as Wan Wan, Bian Bufu, yang Xuyan, Zao Deyan, Xi Yin, An Long, Bi Chen, and You Niaojuan, you will gain two thousand points.

  “If you kill a general, you will gain five thousand points.

  “If you kill a Myth Realm elite such as Bi Xuan, Shi Zhixuan, and Zhu Yuyuan, you will gain twenty thousand points.

  “If you kill the Mongolian Hu Bilie, you will gain one hundred thousand points.

  “You can use the points you gathered in exchange for war achievements, and you can use the war achievements in exchange for silver, refined weapons, refined equipment, refinement opportunities, medicinal pills, and even titles in the army directly from the imperial court!”

  No one will even pay attention to the exchange of money, but the refined equipment that was mentioned stimulated a lot of martial artists.

  With five hundred points, they could get one refined grade one masterpiece at the first echelon, and with one thousand points, they can one refined grade one masterpiece at the second echelon.

  Refinement chances meant that they will get a one hundred percent success rate when they refined their weapons.

  If they wanted to get one refinement chance, they will need ten thousand points, and then, regardless of what grade the equipment was, they will get a one hundred percent success rate during the refinement process, and that was not taking into account what stage of the refinement it was for the equipment. However, no equipment could be further refined after they reached the fourth echelon.

  Even though everyone thought that the event had become incredibly chaotic and complicated when so many things were fused together, when they learned that the people involved were just in the army as side characters and targets for them to gain points, the players were gradually able to accept everything.

  When they saw the system slowly announce the figures and the points they could gather, the Chinese plains burst into excitement, and the world of martial artists was shocked!

  Even Happy gave up his intention of admiring the scenery on his way to Beijing. He earnestly and seriously began to understand the details of the quest this time.

  What the players needed to do was simple. All they needed to do was to head to the borders where the army was stationed and trigger the main quest from the quest givers in the army. They will receive different quests, such as hunting quests, reconnaissance quests, quests to harrass the Mongolian army, assassination quests, quests to poison certain characters in the Mongolian army, quests to create traps, killing quests, scouting quests, and others.

  There were also certain normal quests, and those were to transport supplies, protect supplies, protect important generals or plot characters, and to destroy the enemies’ assassination plots, because there will also be plenty of players from Mongolia who will find their way into the Chinese plains to carry out their quests.

  These quests all had a time limit, and the points the players will get will be different.

  During this period of time, all the points they accumulated from the quests can be added together. On the final day, they can use those points in exchange for all sorts of rewards.

  Naturally, Happy did not care about the exchange of rewards mentioned in the first half of the announcement.

  What he was curious about was the exchange of an army rank.

  An army rank meant that the imperial court had acknowledged the player!

  The more war achievements they made, the chances of them being promoted will be higher! And when they were promoted during war, they might even be able to command a group of soldiers from the main camp to fight in the war, and this was a very amazing thing.

  Happy noticed that once he obtained two hundred points, he could obtain the rank of a 5-man commander, and he can get five soldiers under his command. If he had one thousand points, he can obtain the rank of a junior-rank captain and lead twenty-five soldiers. If he had ten thousand points, he can become a middle-rank captain, and he can lead one hundred and twenty-five soldiers. If he wanted to become a senior-rank captain, he will need one hundred thousand points, and if he wanted to become a battalion commander, he needed one million points. He can also choose his soldiers. Infantry, recons, archers, lancers, cavaliers, cavalry archers, and heavy-armored cavalries, he could choose any soldier he wanted from among these. If he had enough points, he can even choose different soldiers to go to war.

  When he looked into this in detail, Happy instantly felt his blood burn passionately.
