Chapter 76: Enemy Forces Heading to the Battlefield_l

The changes in Anxi were unknown to the rest of the Tang Dynasty, but some clues were still felt.

First, the harassment by Tubo on the borders gradually diminished, ultimately disappearing.

For the past two years, Tubo soldiers had ceased to appear, and some slaves began fleeing to the Tang Dynasty, though they too had no idea where Tubo had gone.

Despite the desire to investigate, the Tang Dynasty had no spare soldiers internally and was forced to set the matter aside temporarily.

The soldiers stationed at the frontier began to grow idle, and some farmers even started cultivating the fertile fields beyond the border, which gradually improved the lives of the previously impoverished populace.

Then, merchants appeared.

Merchants of the Silk Road had been absent for a long time, but unexpectedly, a group of them traversed thousands of miles to come here, bringing food and fruits unseen for a long time, and purchased porcelain and silk as goods for their return journey.

Seeing the long-missed merchants, the Emperor of Tang personally hosted a banquet for them and learned a piece of news that took him by surprise.

In the west, an army had appeared.

They were as disciplined as mountains, swift as the wind, donned armor impervious to swords and spears, and rode precious horses that could cover a thousand miles a day.

They carried the Sun Moon Army Flag, wielding long spears with iron tips; they roared excitedly upon seeing Tubo troops in groups of five, then they charged or raided.

Well-trained and physically robust, they began every battle by shooting a number of enemies with strange firearms, then moved forward to finish them off, never once defeated.

Beyond their cavalry, they had numerous technicians and bureaucrats; after conquering a place, they immediately established a base and put forth the slogan of restoring the Tang Dynasty, which attracted many supporters in no time.

With the support of warhorses and another type of strange steel device, teams of five dared to charge at Tubo armies hundreds strong; wherever the cavalry went, they were unstoppable.

Their numbers were vast, and Tubo was forced to retreat step by step because of them, even Tubo’s royal flag was seized by this army.

What was more terrifying was that among them, there was a divine being, all-knowing and omniscient. Every battle, they anticipated the enemy’s moves, and their minds possessed the ability to strategize brilliantly, instilling terror in Tubo at the very mention of them.

In just a few years, Tubo was beaten to the point of fragmentation and could no longer harass the Tang Dynasty.

Upon hearing the merchant’s report, the Emperor of Tang was thrilled by Tubo’s collapse yet anxious about the emergence of a new neighbor.

As the Emperor of Tang was about to inquire further, an urgent message from the border arrived.

The Protectorate of Anxi still existed!

They even sent envoys and had expressed their desire to return to Tang.

But this time, it wasn’t just a few scattered messengers.

The passage between Anxi and the Tang Dynasty was opened once again, and tens of thousands of cavalry, with mighty strides, marched towards the Tang Dynasty, reigniting Tang’s glory.

Everywhere they went, the locals responded enthusiastically, offering food and wine to welcome the King’s forces.

Lost territories were reclaimed, alien tribes expelled, and Heaven once again favored the Tang Dynasty, bestowing the throne of the Central Plains back to its rightful place.

Amidst the encirclement of cavalry, under the admiring gazes of soldiers, Tang Mo entered the Tang Dynasty as a general, walking proudly towards Chang’an.

Tang, I’m back.

After accomplishing this feat, a deafening cheer erupted inside Tang Mo’s live broadcast room.

While other players were still fretting over reaching 100 points and seeking ways to improve their score, they had already achieved the remarkable feat of eliminating Tubo, reclaiming territory, and restoring glory through collaborative efforts.

Proudly walking on the land of the Tang Dynasty, their final score reached an astonishing two hundred and seventeen points.

This score was not calculated by multiplicative increases, but rather through an exponential scoring method, with two hundred and seventeen points denoting an extremely high achievement, signifying that what they had done had surpassed the historical Nameless Ones, reaching a new height.

[Tang, that was not easy.]

[No kidding, but it was thrilling. Even though I couldn’t personally join the battlefield and just farmed and climbed the tech tree, it was so satisfying!]

[Yeah, the feeling of pummeling the opponent with a technological edge is just too cool!]

[Turns out farming is the real way to play “The Nameless”, but why doesn’t the game say so?]

[Classic Fang Cheng, always likes to hide something and then secretly wait for us to discover it.]

[Do you think there’s a chance that he hadn’t foreseen this gameplay himself?]

[I think that’s impossible. If he hadn’t anticipated it, would he have included so many lifelike technologies? Would he have added a nearly realistic physics engine and the formula for gunpowder?]

[Right, even the machines can be accurately reconstructed, so I believe Fang Cheng anticipated this. The producer is so sneaky, keeping such a fun way to play hidden.]

[Exactly, too sneaky! To punish him, I’ve decided to buy a copy of “The Nameless” and do it myself. I’ll shame him by letting him know I uncovered his secret!]

[Heh heh, this producer, you wouldn’t want your Easter eggs to stay buried, would you?]

[Hold your horses, put together a strategy guide first. You still need to do your homework if you want to play this game and have a blast.]

Watching the discussion in the stream, Tang Mo also felt very comfortable.

This stream, they had played intermittently over the course of a week.

It took so long because they had to pause from time to time, then infer their next best move based on historical records and geography.

Moreover, to avoid external interference, this stream room was not open to the public, but a private space.

As the first player to discover the farming gameplay and verify its viability, Tang Mo was extremely excited.

At this moment, he was The Nameless, leading a lone force rising from isolation, and the feeling of accomplishment was indescribable.

Although the game was completed, Tang Mo knew it wasn’t the end.

There were still many regrets to address and more details to uncover. There was more land to conquer in the north and the west, and beyond the sea, a rich land awaited their arrival.

The game still held immense potential, and treating it merely as a war game was a true waste.

It was supposed to be a game with a grander vision, a hypothetical and simulation of that era.

The nearly perfect simulation allowed one to better glimpse the elegance of that age and let players fulfill their fantasies of time travel.

At this thought, Tang Mo felt his heart start to race.

That’s right, such a great game shouldn’t be buried!

He began to gather materials, planning to compile his gaming experience from this time into a guide.

The process was time-consuming and laborious, but Tang Mo found it sweet.

He was willing to contribute to a game he loved.

In Fang Cheng Studio, Wang Xiaoying gnawed on her pen, sighing as she looked at the game data.

As her first assignment since arriving at Fang Cheng Studio, Wang Xiaoying was very confident in the game’s quality and full of anticipation for her work results.

But the outcome… wasn’t great.]
