Clear Enemy Bases

At the start of the mission, you will be placed at the center of the battlefield near the carriage. Clear the enemy forces surrounding you to make way for carriage. The carriage will only move if all allied forces have gathered at the spot. If they are engaged in battles at nearby bases, assist them in clearing all the enemy bases. 

Escort the Carriage

Clearing every base and securing the path allows the carriage to move. Throughout your way, waves of massive enemy forces attempt to surround and attack the carriage. The carriage stops moving if it is threatened by nearby enemies. Fend off the attackers and escort the carriage safely through Luoyang.

Defeat Li Jue and Guo Si

Handing over Emperor Xian’s carriage at the designated escape location changes the mission objective to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si. Li Jue rushes to the spot with his massive army of over 1000 enemies. Utilize all your tactics, special musou arts, and companion switching to eliminate the massive army of Li Jue’s forces. Successfully defeating Li Jue and Guo Si concludes the mission.
