We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 152 [Giant Deer Clashes] A Man Even More Fierce Than Gao Chong (7k Two-in-One)

Everyone was speechless as they watched Lu Wan run over.

Liu Bang was also very troubled.

If it weren't for their close relationship, and the fact that he had followed Lu Wan since the beginning of the uprising, he would have thought Lu Wan's suggestion yesterday was a spy sent by the Chu army.

A one-on-one duel with Xiang Yu?
How much did you drink to get this drunk?

Liu Bang saw Lu Wan approaching and couldn't help but wave him away:

"What are you doing here? Don't make things worse."

"Go back quickly."

Ferrand (Lu Wan) chuckled:
"My lord, please take me there."

"I'll back you up."

Hear the words.

Everyone looked at him with disdain. What can you do? Pretend to be in charge?
Liu Bang initially wanted to refuse.

But Zhang Liang, who had been expressionless, suddenly nudged Liu Bang. Liu Bang looked up at Zhang Liang, suddenly understood his meaning, and then looked at Fei Lang (Lu Wan) and said:
"alright."

"Someone, prepare another horse."

He turned and mounted his horse as he spoke, while the others were completely bewildered.

Why did we bring Lu Wan along, that useless guy?

In fact, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang understood that their purpose in attending the Hongmen Banquet was to show weakness to Xiang Yu, and they would have to make themselves look rather pathetic.

Liu Bang himself didn't care; he was shameless by nature.

Zhang Liang, needless to say, was an absolutely brilliant man.

But it's not so certain about other people like Fan Kuai. They're so stubborn. Wouldn't it be perfect to bring Lu Wan in with us?

Therefore, in Liu Bang's view...

If he performs poorly, and Zhang Liang performs poorly as well, then with Lu Wan standing in front of Xiang Yu, what is there for Xiang Yu to worry about?

These few cowardly cowards dare to challenge me, Xiang Yu, for the throne?

That would solve everything.

then.

Lu Wan was not originally part of the 'Feast at Hongmen' storyline, but she has now joined the fray due to the antics of the Blue Star players.

But what awaits Ferrand is anyone's guess.
At this moment, in Ferrand's live broadcast room.

The character Lu Wan rode on horseback and followed Liu Bang and others for half a day.

He was just lagging behind the group, chatting with the viewers in the live stream.

Seeing that Liu Bang and his entourage were not paying attention, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) touched his cuff:

"Guys, are you sure?"

"I know nothing about poisons."

"Are you sure a broken skin means death?"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:

Don't worry, it's been tested. These ancient Chinese plants can indeed be used to concoct potent poisons.

[After the streamer subdues Xiang Yu, they should kill him outside the Chu army camp. Otherwise, if Xiang Yu is killed inside the Chu army camp, you will all die there.]

[Xiang Yu was, after all, a military general; he must be difficult to deal with, right?]

[Even a military general is human. Within three steps, he can't react in time. Pull out a dagger and hold it to his neck, see if he doesn't feel numb?]

[That's right, and after you've subdued him, remember to shout that the dagger is poisoned and will kill him if it breaks the skin, so that Xiang Yu won't dare to move!]

As he watched the various comments in the live stream, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) nodded and took notes.

Go and offer a toast first, within three steps.

He pulled out a dagger and, before Xiang Yu could react, held it to Xiang Yu's neck.

They held Xiang Yu hostage.
Touching the cuff, the feel of the dagger gave Ferrand (Lu Wan) a bit of confidence.

Sudden.

His wrist was grabbed, and Liu Bang's voice rang out:
"Lu Wan, why are you constantly touching your wrist?"

"Hidden money?"

Ferrand (Lu Wan) was startled. Liu Bang had stepped back from the front at some point and was now grabbing his wrist.

Since they were on horseback, it wasn't appropriate to pull them forcefully, so Ferrand (Lu Wan) quickly said:
"No, no!!!"

however.

Everyone had already become suspicious, so Liu Bang grabbed his wrist and pulled him over. Fei Lang (Lu Wan) almost fell off his horse, and the dagger tied to his wrist fell to the ground.

Bang!

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Everyone on Liu Bang's side was stunned, staring blankly at Lu Wan.

You actually dared to do that?!
Even Zhang Liang, who was usually expressionless, couldn't help but twitch his eye when he saw the dagger lying on the ground.

I used to think Lu Wan was a mole, but now it seems...
Fan Kuai's jaw dropped.

I thought Lu Wan was doing this on purpose yesterday, trying to harm him, but it turns out this guy actually prepared a dagger and wanted to assassinate Xiang Yu. Is he really that stupid?!

I misunderstood him yesterday!
After all, from Fan Kuai's perspective, if you're advising me to fight Xiang Yu one-on-one, aren't you trying to get me killed?
But the person who made this suggestion
He actually prepared a small dagger, intending to assassinate Xiang Yu?

Isn't this just pure binary currency?!
Who are you to try and assassinate Xiang Yu?

Seeing the stunned crowd, Ferrand (Lu Wan) blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"This...this..."

"I carry it with me at all times, for easy cutting of things, do you believe me?"

Liu Bang rolled his eyes and kicked Fei Lang (Lu Wan) so hard he almost fell off his horse.

"Do you think I believe that?!"

"Are you trying to kill us, Lu Wan?!"

"What if Xiang Yu finds this out!"

"They chopped them all down before they even got inside!"

"Don't you have a brain?!"

Fan Kuai, watching the commotion, also rode over, dismounted, and tried to pick up the dagger. Seeing this, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) quickly shouted:

"Don't touch it! The blade is poisoned!"

"Touching it will surely kill you!"

Hear the words.

Everyone gasped, Liu Bang's head throbbed:
"You fucking poisoned it?!"

With a flick of his whip, snap!
The whip struck Ferrand (Lu Wan), who dodged it while riding away.

“Hey hey hey hey——!”

"I'm doing this for our own good, my lord!"

Enraged, Liu Bang cursed loudly, whipped his horse, and gave chase.

"I'll fucking swear!!!"

into the night.

The Chu army camp, in front of the camp gate.

Liu Bang and his entourage stopped their horses in front of the solemn and imposing camp.

The soldiers holding halberds on both sides of the camp gate had cold eyes, and the sharpness of their halberds was reflected in the firelight burning throughout the camp, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at them.

Squads of fully armored soldiers patrolled the area.

The horses on which everyone was seated became much quieter under this oppressive atmosphere.

Ferrand (Lu Wan) swallowed hard.

Damn it?

That's a little scary.
The viewers in the live stream were also watching intently.

At this moment, inside the Chu army camp, the soldiers stood in rows, saying nothing, but each held a weapon and coldly stared at Liu Bang and his party.

Urged on by the Chu soldiers, the men dismounted and raised their hands, and one by one, the Chu soldiers stepped forward to search them.

Feeling the Chu soldiers patting his entire body, searching for any sharp weapons, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, Liu Bang had lost that dagger.

Otherwise, what if this is discovered?
hiss--

At this moment, not only did Ferrand (Lu Wan) gasp, but the netizens in the live broadcast room also gasped.

Damn it?

So strict?
I was a bit naive before; if this gets found out, I'll be in big trouble on the spot.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Holy crap, that was terrifying! If it hadn't been lost, it would be useless!

The ancients were just a bit old-fashioned, not stupid. It's hilarious! If they had used the old methods, everything would be ruined now.

Is it reasonable? Yes, it is! There's nothing wrong with searching people before a banquet!

Hahaha, just enjoy the feast!

Looking at the comments floating in the live stream, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) cursed under her breath.

Have a meal?

What kind of feast is this?!

Whether we can even get there is still uncertain!
It wasn't anything else that made my legs weak.

Only after the inspection was completed were they allowed to pass, and the weapons of people like Fan Kuai were confiscated.

Liu Bang, accompanied by Zhang Liang and Fei Lang (Lu Wan), headed to the main hall of the Hongmen Banquet.

The others stood guard outside.

Fei Lang (Lu Wan) followed Liu Bang with trepidation as they entered the main hall.

Swish!
Judging from the unified actions of the generals inside the hall, their murderous aura was far stronger than that of the soldiers outside, and Ferrand (Lu Wan) was somewhat unable to control himself.

The footage in the live stream room is synchronized.

This is from a first-person perspective.

The murderous intent emanating from the generals at the Feast at Hongmen startled the people of Earth.

So scary?

Liu Bang, accompanied by Zhang Liang and Fei Lang (Lu Wan), walked slowly towards them. Then, Liu Bang bowed respectfully and said:

"Liu Bang has met General Xiang."

Zhang Liang and Fei Lang (Lu Wan) also bent down to learn.

Below the head seat in the hall, Xiang Yu, a man with a crimson tiger-patterned battle robe, piercingly bright eyes, and a resolute and handsome face, slowly raised his eyes after taking a sip of wine.

"Oh?"

"Is the King of Guanzhong here?"

click!
The generals inside the hall were all fully armored. When they turned their heads, the clanging sound of their armor was like thunder, exploding in their ears.

thump!
Ferrand (Lu Wan)'s legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang immediately lowered their bodies as well.
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

"Liu Bang was nothing more than a lowly soldier under General Xiang Yu."

Seeing that Liu Bang and Zhang Liang were bowing so low their heads were almost touching the ground, and the guy lying limp on the ground next to them, Xiang Yu suddenly sneered.

His voice carried an air of nonchalant disdain:
"Get up."

Liu Bang quickly said:

"Thank you, General Xiang."

At the same time, they also helped Ferrand (Lu Wan) up, but Ferrand (Lu Wan)'s legs were weak, and for a moment the scene looked a bit comical.

At this moment, many Chu generals at the Hongmen Banquet, including Xiang Yu, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiang Yu glanced at Fan Zeng as well.

It seems to be saying that someone like this doesn't even deserve to be my enemy?
Fan Zeng, meanwhile, stared intently at Liu Bang with a furrowed brow, trying to find a flaw in his strategy.

However, neither Xiang Yu nor Fan Zeng noticed this.

The two exchanged glances and displayed facial expressions.

Zhang Liang, who stood to the side with his head bowed, took it all in.
Just a few moments.

The psychological game between the two sides has begun.

As one of the bystanders, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) and Liu Bang helped each other to the seats arranged by Xiang Yu and sat down, then watched the people in the hall exchange words.

Ferrand (Lu Wan) was completely dumbfounded.

I can clearly understand it.

But why can't I understand these words when they're put together?

Why did you start laughing while you were talking?
After laughing, the conversation shifted again, and the atmosphere became cold.

Why are these people laughing again?
Why is that guy not practicing his sword properly, but instead coming over here?
Why is that old man next to me also practicing swordplay?

Zhang Liang wasn't drinking either. Did he go out to relieve himself?
How did Fan Kuai get in?
Why did Liu Bang go out too? Should I not go out as well?

Not only did Ferrang (Lu Wan) not understand, but the more than 200,000 netizens in the live broadcast room were also completely confused, unable to understand what these ancient people were doing.

A few can be analyzed, but the clashes within the palace happened too quickly.

Liu Bang, Fan Zeng, and Zhang Liang spoke one after another, before the viewers in the live stream could even translate or figure out what they meant.

They had already said four or five sentences.

It can't be analyzed; it's simply impossible to analyze.

I can't keep up with other people's thinking.

Those netizens on Earth who could understand a little are now questioning their very existence. Are these people even speaking human language? Are they out of their minds?!

They're harder to read than the district heads and mayors on Earth.

Confused, Fei Lang (Lu Wan) saw that Liu Bang had gone out to relieve himself and couldn't hold back any longer. He said that no one in the Chu army camp cared about him going out to relieve himself.

They simply released it.

After all, when they first entered, they were so frightened that their legs went weak, which made the Chu army look down on them.

Meanwhile, Fei Lang (Lu Wan), who came out from this side, looked around and also saw Liu Bang.

At the same time, he saw a Chu general in full armor approaching Liu Bang from behind, and even drew a long sword from his waist.

Fei Lang (Lu Wan) was immediately jolted awake. This was the Chu camp, and they dared not shout loudly. They had no choice but to make a little noise as they rushed over to try and save Liu Bang.

The sound startled the two men, and Liu Bang turned around to look, his brows immediately furrowing.
"Yongchi?"

"Why are you here?"

Yong Chi glanced at Fei Lang (Lu Wan) who was rushing towards him, snorted coldly, sheathed his sword, and then continued to look at Liu Bang:
"Liu Ji, congratulations."

"I heard you're going to be king."

"Unfortunately, Xiang Yu wanted to kill you."

"You're not going to become king."

The conversation between the two made Ferrand (Lu Wan) feel somewhat awkward.

So you know each other?
Wasn't transportation inconvenient in ancient times?

How come Liu Bang knew people everywhere?

Unaware of what Fei Lang (Lu Wan) was thinking, the two were still exchanging words when Liu Bang looked at Yong Chi and asked, "Kill me?"

Why did he kill me?

Did I offend him?

Yong Chi chuckled and looked at Liu Bang:

"Still so stubborn even when death is imminent."

"Good for you."

"I'll just ask you one question: Do you want to live?"

Hear the words.

Liu Bang stared directly at Yong Chi for two seconds in silence, then immediately said decisively:

"think."

Upon seeing this, Yong Chi smiled.

"You beg me."

Liu Bang immediately said:

"I beg you."

Yong Chi snorted coldly:
"Get down on your knees and beg me."

Liu Bang's lips twitched slightly, forcing a smile as he tried to ingratiate himself:
"brother."

Yong Chi ignored him and instead said:

"I, Yong Chi, keep my word. Do you want to live or not?"

Both Ferrand (Lu Wan) and the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it anymore.

That's incredibly insulting.

There's a Chinese saying, "A scholar can be killed, but not..."
Plop!
Amidst the incredulous gazes of Ferrang (Lu Wan) and the netizens in the live stream, Liu Bang knelt down and said to Yong Chi:

"Brother, I beg you, please let me go."

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Yong Chi's face, but Liu Bang had knelt down too quickly, so he didn't feel quite satisfied. Yong Chi couldn't help but kick Liu Bang.
"It's so shameless."

Come to think of it, when has this guy ever cared about his reputation?

Yong Chi then presented a bamboo slip:

Do you know how you ended up like this?

"Look at this."

Liu Bang flipped through the bamboo slips, looking at their contents with disbelief:

"Cao Wushang?"

Yong Chi sneered:
"It's because you made a mistake in hiring people that things have come to this."

"get out!"

After saying this, Yong Chi felt much more refreshed and even pointed Liu Bang in a direction.

Liu Bang put away the bamboo slips and took a deep breath:

"Thank you!"

He then glanced at Ferrand (Lu Wan) and gestured for him to follow.

At this moment, Ferrand (Lu Wan) and the netizens in the live broadcast room were still in a daze. Did he just kneel down like that? And then run away?
Only when Liu Bang's figure was almost gone did Fei Lang (Lu Wan) realize what was happening.

He glanced at Yong Chi.

Ferrand (Lu Wan) was startled and quickly followed Liu Bang.

The two ran until dawn.

They finally met the people who were supposed to meet them.

relieved.

However, the "Feast at Hongmen" storyline has already gone viral across the entire internet on Earth.

It wasn't just the almost real oppressive aura and killing intent.

What's even more baffling is the verbal exchange between Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, and Fan Zeng at the Feast at Hongmen.

Although the viewers in the live stream couldn't analyze anything at the time.

However, Earth is not without talented people. After the video was released, some commentary video bloggers suddenly became popular.

Furthermore, on Blue Star's side, there is Ferrand's (Lu Wan) first-person perspective.

You can also see the expressions and actions of the people during the conversation. In the narration video of "The Feast at Hongmen," a few words, including actions and expressions, convey the meaning behind them.

That's enough for the blogger to talk for seven or eight minutes.

Even so, some netizens on Earth only vaguely understood what was being said.

I forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

Just like those short videos on 'Earth' explaining 'the xx dynasty' and 'the xx name', the 'Feast at Hongmen' has completely gone viral online, sparking a new craze on Earth.

Many people record the storylines in the game "Huaxia", especially the dialogues of important characters.

After reading various explanations from bloggers or the analysis from the Photon supercomputer, I realized that I had truly wasted my life.
How come these ancient people in the "Huaxia" (a term referring to ancient Chinese civilization) have four or five hidden meanings in a single sentence?
Damn it!
That's way too mind-bending!

Liu Bang, on the other hand, was flexible and shameless.

It also made the people of Earth gasp in shock.

Who can do what this guy did, kneeling down so readily? No wonder he established the Han Dynasty; he's got some skills.

The craze sparked by the Feast at Hongmen continues.

Meanwhile, Ferrand's popularity continues to rise, however...
Most of them came to laugh and have fun.

After all, being so scared by an NPC that your legs go weak is truly a disgrace to the people of Earth.

Ferrand was helpless; the plot was just too absurd!
Even you guys would be weak in the knees if you came! Damn it!!!

These ancient Chinese people are just ridiculous.

However, although they were frightened, it also aroused the curiosity of Ferrand and netizens on Blue Star.

It's already like this even before they've made a move.

What kind of move did Xiang Yu make?

What level of fear would it take to scare Fan Kuai like that?
However, this also presents a good opportunity to see just how powerful Xiang Yu really is.

Because in the game [Huaxia], the first national war instance of [Chu-Han Contention], [Battle of Julu], is about to be launched.

a few days later.

The "immersive story" mode was not activated in Ferrand's live stream room.

Instead, they chose the [Multiplayer Online] mode.

The multiplayer mode, being a large-scale online mode, cannot be skipped like the immersive story mode.

Since the game's launch.

The storyline in the [Multiplayer] mode has only just reached the [Battle of Julu].

At this moment, the Battle of Julu in the game "Huaxia" has just begun. Ferrand wanted to choose a general, but due to the limited number of generals, he was unable to do so.

In that particular instance, the general roles had already been selected.

In the end, I could only choose the identity of a soldier and entered the game. As soon as I entered the game, a sandstorm swept in and there was an endless atmosphere of killing intent.

Ferrand looked around and found it easy to distinguish between NPCs and players.

Those also looking around in the middle of the formation were mostly Blue Star players, while Ferrand was looking at the opposing flag:
"Not bad, not bad, the first match is against Xiang Yu."

"Then we are the Qin army."

Ferrand looked at his own army, which stretched as far as the eye could see and was several times larger than the Chu army on the other side.

And on the other side...
Ferrand used the zoom function in the live stream to look at the other side:

"Yes."

"It's Xiang Yu."

He will never forget that face.

Having been so humiliated and terrified at the Feast at Hongmen, Ferrand has watched countless videos of the event, and he knows Xiang Yu's face all too well.

Ferrand looked in his direction, having already gathered the basic information:

"We have 200,000 men here, and Zhang Han is in command."

"I couldn't find it in the Polaris website database. Let's see if it will be updated later."

"Xiang Yu on the other side. Holy crap?"

"They're charging in already?"

Ferrand was explaining the current situation to the live stream when he saw Xiang Yu's army charging straight towards him without stopping at all.

Xiang Yu himself led over a thousand cavalrymen straight into the center of the army.

No?

Are you that fierce?

If you're that brave, then it's no wonder Fan Kuai wouldn't dare to challenge you.

However.
Ferrand and netizens on Earth underestimated Xiang Yu's domineering martial prowess.

On the Qin army side where Ferrand was located, under orders, a rain of arrows swept out, obscuring the sky and the sun. However, Xiang Yu laughed wildly and charged forward on horseback, his long halberd sweeping across as arrows rained down.

Almost instantly, they arrived at the Qin army's front lines on Ferrand's side.

At this point, firing arrows was no longer effective.

Three Qin generals, also on horseback, charged out, and many Blue Star players on Ferrand's side watched.

Click!

A sharp, grating sound that sends chills down your spine.

Ferrand stared wide-eyed as he watched Xiang Yu bring down his halberd, smashing the Qin general and his horse to pieces.

boom--!
The horse's leg snapped off, and then both horse and rider exploded into a cloud of blood mist, completely lifeless.

The other two Qin generals were also cut in half, along with their armor.

At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with question marks.

Is this even human?!

[Holy crap? What did I just see?!]

[This guy adjusted the data too? Wait, why did I say "also"?]

[No, is this reasonable?]

[They blew the man and horse to pieces? How heavy must that halberd have been?]

[Isn't this even more powerful than Gao Chong?]

Ferrand didn't have time to read the comments, because after the three generals came the army formation of soldiers.

A row of shields, each taller than a man, stood in front of him, like a solid wall, but Xiang Yu, riding his jet-black steed, did not stop at all.

They charged to the front lines.

With a single thrust of the halberd, shields shattered and armor pierced.

Then it flicks upwards.

The Qin soldiers in front of him, along with their shields, were thrown several meters into the air.

Boom——

The heavy armor and shield fell to the ground with a deafening crash, and the soldier was already lifeless.

There are no extra tricks.

Only ruthless killing.

As Xiang Yu charged through the Qin army's ranks on his warhorse, the sound of bones shattering echoed like popping beans.

Ferrand couldn't help but step back.

He understood why Liu Bang's group was so afraid of Xiang Yu—in a one-on-one fight?
What kind of one-on-one fight is this?
Even three Fan Kuais wouldn't be enough for Xiang Yu to cleave them in two with a single halberd strike, would they?

However.
This is just the beginning.

Seeing the army's formation in disarray, the Qin soldiers in the rear retreated to clear the way, and more than a dozen chariots charged toward Xiang Yu, with Qin soldiers making way wherever they went.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu did not dodge at all. He laughed wildly, brandished his halberd, and rode his horse to meet him.

This scene.

The live stream left viewers on Earth wide-eyed.

No?

How to fight this?

Qin chariots were all drawn by four horses, with a frame covered in sharp teeth, and four soldiers armed with weapons on the frame. How could one person possibly fight them?

Before the netizens on Earth could even come up with a solution, Xiang Yu spurred his horse and charged in front of the Qin army's war chariots.

The jet-black BMW beneath him roared.

The four horses of the Qin chariot trembled and galloped to the sides, leaving the middle empty.

With a sinister grin, Xiang Yu thrust his halberd straight forward, piercing the frame of the chariot.

boom--! ! !
The enormous sound echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

The Qin army's chariot was cleaved in two by the halberd, and fragments of the chariot flew out in all directions.

Of the four Qin soldiers above, three were sent flying, one was pierced by a halberd, and then Xiang Yu swung the halberd, sending him flying more than ten meters away.

The viewers on Earth watching the live stream were speechless with amazement.

How can I eat this if it's not even open?!
Is this even reasonable?!
The Blue Star players in the game were in an even worse state, having completely forgotten to run away, watching as Xiang Yu, like a human meat grinder, sent limbs flying wherever he went.

It wasn't until Xiang Yu charged in that Ferrand realized what was happening and turned to run.

Suddenly I felt a chill in my brain.

Then something slid down from above, and then the screen went black.

hiss--

What did you just post?
I was hacked to pieces?
Meanwhile, Ferrand, in the live stream room, scratched his head, looking bewildered.

Now I understand why Liu Bang and his men had that expression when they heard that Xiang Yu was being held hostage. Absurd!

Is there anyone who can actually beat this thing?
wrong.

In the struggle for supremacy between Chu and Han, Chu was defeated!

Who was so fierce as to kill Xiang Yu?
Think of this.

Ferrand was eager to start the game again, but instead of choosing the [Multiplayer] mode, he entered the [Immersive Story] mode once more.

Start skipping the story.

He wanted to see who was so fierce as to take down Xiang Yu.
In his immersive storyline, the Battle of Julu and the Feast at Hongmen have already passed, and there should be several more decisive battles to come.

Ferrand was engrossed in skipping the plot, while those in the live stream were also looking forward to it.

Two days later.

In Ferrand's live stream, after controlling Lu Wan to skip the storyline again, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Ok?"

"Another campaign event has been triggered!"

"The Battle of Pengcheng?"

(End of this chapter)
