The great war erupted, and the Island Nation was the first to launch an attack against Huaxia!
Tens of millions of people spread across the mountains and fields, surging forward like a tide.
Seeing the Island Nation's offensive so ferocious, no one knew why they seemed so determined, as if resolved to the death, to take down Huaxia.
Seizing a region's banner could add 500,000 reinforcements. A national banner, on the other hand, could add 2 million reinforcements. As long as Huaxia was utterly crushed, the war's consumption was something they could completely afford!
When the Island Nation's army rushed into Huaxia's territory, Huaxia's nearly 20 million-strong army pounced toward their enemy.
The battle between the two sides was about to explode.
Countless skills flew across the mountains. These were all selected fourth-tier experts, and many special methods of attack had already appeared.
Colorful elemental strikes, all sorts of special attacks, filled the mountain ranges.
The sounds of slaughter, the cries and screams, resounded through the skies!
"You Huaxia people said you wanted a national war with us Island Nation? Now here's your chance—kill!"
Huaxia's army was not intimidated in the slightest.
"Damn bastards, you think I'm scared? Brothers, charge!"
The Island Nation's ninjutsu masters and sword masters had terrifying offensive power, plus boosts to their attributes and attack speed, their strength skyrocketed.
One Huaxia warrior was injured by the hidden weapons of two ninjutsu masters, then his chest was slashed open by a sword master.
Faced with an opponent who had already lost combat ability, the three from the Island Nation did not rush to finish him off, but looked at him with half-smiles.
"So this is all a Huaxia warrior amounts to!"
That man panted heavily, blood already soaking his clothes. He glared at his enemies, supporting himself with one hand on the ground, slowly standing up.
"You're celebrating too soon. The battle flag is still here. If you haven't killed me yet, don't even think about passing through!"
With that, he lunged at his enemies…
Similar scenes were happening everywhere. Both sides were composed of top-tier experts, each with extreme personal combat ability, so numbers became especially important.
Once a person was defeated, enemies could quickly go help their teammates kill more on the same side, making the advantage snowball bigger and bigger!
The only way out was that everyone had to bring out every ounce of their potential. Even if they couldn't kill their opponent, they had to stubbornly hold their ground, not letting the enemy free up to attack their comrades.
"To seize Huaxia's war banner? Dream on! Kill!"
At the same time, on the Fourth Army battlefield, Huaxia's 1.9 million troops were in fierce battle with H Nation's 4 million troops!
H Nation's national soul wasn't as strong as the Island Nation's, but their numbers were greater.
Huaxia tried to use the advantage of the river to defend, but H Nation's players were also fourth-tier experts, fully capable of walking on water. Only by blocking them could they be forced into the river.
That also meant Huaxia's army had to take the initiative, to stop H Nation's troops from crossing.
Yet even so, H Nation relied on their sheer numbers, still unstoppable, successfully crossing the river!
"With just this few of you, you think you can block us of great H Nation? Die!"
"I've long wanted to crush you Huaxia. From now on, you'll call us masters!"
"With no national soul, you must feel worthless, so you only dare to turtle up and defend? Charge! Kill every last Huaxia dog!" Just as this man's words fell, a Huaxia player lunged at him.
"Shut the hell up! You two come together—let me show you who's the real master!"
This Huaxia warrior fought one against two, but just then, a flash of cold light came from behind. A curved blade stabbed into his right waist.
He quickly kicked that man away, retreating several steps.
Opposite him, three H Nation players bared sinister smiles.
"Still acting arrogant, are you? Heh heh heh, let's see how you fight one against three! Kill!"
The Huaxia player glanced around. At this moment, every Huaxia player had no choice but to face the siege of two or three enemies at once!
And the more crucial thing was, if he fell, then these three would go help their teammates, which would make the pressure on the surrounding Huaxia fighters multiply again!
He pressed on his waist, his hands already covered with blood, yet his eyes were firmer than ever before.
He opened up his friends list.
If he did not retreat now, the only outcome for him was death.
But—he could not retreat.
He raised his watch, speaking to his friends on the list: "Sorry, everyone. I'll be dragging you down. Xiaolan, this time I can't protect you."
From the watch came several voices.
"Hao Jie, fight to the end. We may not be able to join the battle, but whoever dares to touch Huaxia, we'll fight them to the death!"
Then a girl's voice came: "Hao Jie, you're my husband, but more than that, you're Huaxia's son. Hold the line for Huaxia!"
Hearing the responses of his friends and his beloved, Hao Jie's eyes grew even firmer. He glared at the enemies ahead. "If you want to get through, step over my corpse first!"
The battle between the two sides was brutally fierce. The once-clear river water, under the moonlight, no longer showed its color, only giving off a pungent stench of blood.
Ouyang Zhen led the Tenth Army, guarding Huaxia's national banner.
Yet though he wasn't on the battlefield, unable to witness it with his own eyes, he was even more anxious.
From the reports of the border cities, large numbers of players had already died and gone offline!
To put it bluntly, with a spillover ratio of one to fifty, one could imagine—the casualties inside Huaxia's border cities were even worse than the actual battlefield!
Xuanyuan Zhen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
"Zhang Xuan, Wang Xusheng, all Huaxia warriors, I beg you—hold on!"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhen's watch received a message.
It was from a comrade who wasn't fighting but serving as a relay to pass news to him.
"Xuanyuan, two recon squads report back—M Nation and F Nation's armies are heading this way!"
"What?!" Xuanyuan Zhen's eyes went wide.
The Island Nation and H Nation's joint invasion had already put Huaxia under immense pressure, and now two more countries were coming?!
If not for being in the army, Xuanyuan Zhen might have collapsed already.
"They… they want Huaxia to be the first destroyed?!"
The reply came back.
"Possible. But what's strange is, M Nation already launched one invasion before, but their direction was northward. Meaning they didn't have time to scout Huaxia's position. Yet now they're coming straight here like they have the map opened!"
Xuanyuan Zhen was shaken to the core. "This… could it be, they already know our position?"
"Impossible. We can talk with the outside, but we can't share maps."
The other replied, "I know, I find it strange too. Right now Luo Shen and the others are studying a countermeasure. Don't make this news public yet, or it will shake the army's morale."
Xuanyuan Zhen took a deep breath. If this news spread, it would indeed deal a crushing blow to the troops' confidence.
But even so… in the current situation, defeat was already certain!
In Huaxia City, already tens of thousands had tragically died offline, and this was only in Huaxia City.
A one-to-fifty ratio was too high. If a thousand fell on the battlefield, here fifty thousand would die!
Many looked at the people around them, heavily wounded and lying in pools of blood, hearts filled only with rage and anxiety.
They roared furiously at their watches.
"Even one against three, even without battle soul—we must hold!"
"I'm not afraid of death! Just let me drag two down with me!"
Dong Shuai looked at the plaza, at the light particles rising from the bodies of the dead, filling the sky, his heart aching unbearably.
If not for Huaxia lacking a national soul, the Island Nation and H Nation would never have dared risk everything in a wild assault against Huaxia!
And worse still, two more countries' armies were marching toward Huaxia's lands, clearly with bad intentions.
"Are we going to lose?" Dong Shuai closed his eyes slightly, unable to watch.
"We need a miracle!"
"Hold back the Island Nation and H Nation's attacks! And Jiang Kai, you bastard, where the hell are you!"
......…
Jiang Kai had already finished replenishing, and his opponent—another self—had also finished replenishing.
From the system notifications, Jiang Kai already knew the national war had begun…
"Damn it, I didn't make it! I still have the national soul on me!" Jiang Kai's heart burned with anxiety.
But his duplicate's strength was identical to his own. Every battle for Jiang Kai was unimaginably difficult.
He could instantly kill others. Likewise, without question, he could be instantly killed by himself!
Any slip, any moment of negligence, could mean defeat.
Facing his other self again, Jiang Kai took a deep breath, steadying his emotions.
"No. I must find a way to defeat myself!" Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking in a low, heavy voice. "Jiang Kai—you must surpass the other you!"
