After opening, Ouyang Shuo checked the specific details of Dayu Jiuding's task.

[Mission Name]: Dayu Jiuding (S-level)

[Mission background]: Cherish Dayu casting Jiuding, is the place of the mandate of heaven, is a symbol of the supremacy of royal power, meaning the prosperity of the dynasty, is not only the treasure of the town, but also the most important ritual of the dynasty.

[Task requirements]: Jiuding is scattered in nine royal cities, controlled by the royal families of various dynasties, and needs to be found one by one, concentrated in the capital, with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven.

[Quest Reward]: Kyushu Ding has evolved into a secret treasure of the Jin Kingdom, which can be used to promote the dynasty.

Looking at it, Ouyang Shuo frowned.

[Dayu Jiuding] task is not generally difficult, except for the Dali Dynasty that does not need to bother much, the remaining eight Dading, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

Ouyang Shuo was promoted to the Viscount of Heaven, Great Xia won the supreme position of China, and the Eight Great Dynasties also wanted to pay tribute to Great Xia, but this does not mean that Great Xia can really dominate the Quartet and dominate the world.

Through this series of changes, Ouyang Shuo also figured out that the supreme position of Great Xia is similar to Zhou Tianzi in history, but it only occupies a name and righteousness, and he is the nominal "co-master" of the world.

The eight dynasties of the Qin, Han, Shu, Sui, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in the wilderness, just like the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, nominally respected the emperor of Zhou, but secretly respected by strength.

Whoever is strong has the right to speak.

They respect Daxia as the supreme, but it doesn't mean that they will obediently offer the Kyushu Ding.

Ding is a dynasty ritual, how can it be said that it can be offered, once the Kyushu Ding is dedicated, it means that this dynasty really bows to Daxia and serves Daxia as the mainstay.

"It's hard!"

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that Gaia would give him such a big problem, with the style of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor, which one is willing to live under others?

Not a single one!

As soon as the task of [Dayu Jiuding] comes out, it is bound to push the originally friendly relationship into an embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, there is no time limit for the mission, and Ouyang Shuo can only press his mind and set his sights on the Southeast Asian battlefield again. He hadn't forgotten that the Battle of Luzon was far from over.

…………

November 15, Sulawesi Sea.

The matter of the Viscount of Heaven was in an uproar in the Huaxia District, and the Battle of Luzon was also continuing.

Unwilling to accept more than 200,000 troops, the Javanese lord Uaisi, who was trapped in Mindanao, resolutely sent the Padang Fleet to prepare to cross the Sulawesi Sea and take the troops back to the territory.

As everyone knows, this move happened to fall into the careful calculation of Great Xia.

Not long after the Padang Fleet went to sea, the combined fleet, composed of the three formations of the Great Xia Royal Fleet, the Yashan Fleet, and the fourth formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet, set up a huge ambush circle on the sea.

The anxious Padang fleet finally could not escape the hunter's net.

The two sides engaged in a completely asymmetrical naval battle in the Sulawesi Sea, and the Padang fleet, which had been defeated once by the Bactrian royal fleet, could no longer bear it this time and completely fell on the vast sea.

Padang lost the protection of the sailors.

As soon as the news came out, not only Java players, but even Luzon players felt a chill in their hearts, and everyone understood that from now on, Daxia will completely control the absolute right to speak in Southeast Asian waters.

This is a bolt from the blue for Southeast Asian island countries.

TP's newly launched maritime joint patrol has no chance to be implemented, at least in Southeast Asia.

Wu Aisi's hot-headed this time, not only failed to save the territory army, but also took the more precious Padang fleet, which can be said to have lost his wife and lost his troops.

Therefore, a qualified lord, no matter what time it is, must keep a clear head.

…………

The next battle of Luzon is basically out of suspense.

On 20 November, the Bactrian Guards crossed the ocean and landed on the eastern coast of Luzon to join the victorious army of Longxiang stationed there. In Australia, it was temporarily garrisoned by the Auckland Corps.

On the 22nd, the reserve troops, the 1st Regiment of the City Guard, escorted by the fleet, landed on the island where the city of Ilo was located, and in only two days, it broke through the city of Ilo, announcing the complete demise of the army of the Luzon territory.

With the uprooting of Luzon's periphery one by one, the focus of the war was on the royal city of Luzon, Manila.

On November 27, the Battle of Manila began.

The troops participating in the battle in Great Xia, including the Longxiang Army, the Praetorian Guard, and the First and Fifth Army Corps of the City Guard; In addition, there are 100,000 "special guests", who are the forbidden army of the royal city summoned by Ouyang Shuo.

The forbidden army selected by Ouyang Shuo this time came from the Shu Han Dynasty.

Although it was said that the Shu Han Dynasty would no longer pose a direct threat to Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo still did not want such a dynasty to exist in the territory. It is imperative to eliminate the Shu Han Dynasty and complete the unification of Shu.

The expeditionary force, known as the division of a million, advanced all the way to Manila. The Luzon side did not choose to hold on to the isolated city, but chose to set up five lines of defense with Manila as the center.

The two sides attacked one and defended the other, and launched a long-lasting tug-of-war on Luzon.

In order to support the front-line operations, there was an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going on the sea, constantly transporting grain and grass materials to the front, and the consumption of each day was a very staggering amount.

This war has consumed almost more than 70 percent of the War Readiness Administration's war readiness food, and how terrifying it is.

Not only Yizhou County, Qiongzhou County, and Hanoi Province, but also Lingnan Province, South Sichuan Province, and Yunnan Province all need to transport grain and grass to the front line in accordance with the unified arrangement of the War Readiness Administration.

For Luzon, too, this is a huge challenge.

They had neither a retreat nor reinforcements, so they could only rely on the 800,000 forbidden army to fight to the death of Great Xia.

The war-torn island of Luzon was almost in ruins, and the people took refuge in the mountains to avoid the war. Every time Great Xia fights a city, it is basically ten rooms and nine empty.

Even the surrounding villages are empty.

With the war raging, there is no longer an inch of paradise on the entire island.

…………

December 10, Manila.

After more than ten days of siege and blocking, the five lines of defense set up by Luzon finally collapsed one by one under the unified command of Bai Qi and under the strong attack of the Great Xia army.

The expeditionary force sacrificed more than 100,000 people and finally reached the city of Manila.

By this time, the city of Manila was full of wailing and starvation. In a series of battles, in the absence of food supplies, all the grain stored in the royal city was used to support the front line.

In the royal city of Nuoda, the granaries are already empty, and there are no grains left.

Since the fall of Ilo City, the supply lines of the royal city of Manila have suffered a heavy setback, and the royal city itself cannot be self-sufficient without the help of food and grass in the territory.

Luzon is another isolated island, and there is no food and grass support from outside.

The war has now consumed the last strength of the city of Manila, and this city is like a dying old man, which has reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.
