Chapter 1170: The Kill All Strategy (1/2)
I let out a sigh of relief as Nation Guardian pulled back like the tidewater. Dark Moon City was the spine of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Losing it would be absolutely devastating to the guild. Also, the 1000 Bone Dragons had proven to be incredibly useful. I should’ve known that the undead creatures trained by Sophie herself would be outstanding.
After the Bone Dragons had completed their mission, they returned to the Dragon’s Lair and clung onto the stem pillars like bats. At the same time, I issued them a new order. If the number of enemies that entered within 1000 yards of Dark Moon City exceeded 10000, they would automatically awaken from their slumber and destroy all of them. Now they could unleash their devastation even without my presence.
……
After Xu Yang returned to me, he asked, ”The war at Wind City is dire. Should I and the twenty thousand Dragonlight Cavalry come with you?”
I nodded. ”Yes. Everyone else will stay behind. Dark Moon City needs at least 200k troops to defend it. Take command of the Dragonlight Cavalry and meet up with Eve. I’m going to fly there first and get a handle on the war situation!”
”Yeah. Be seeing you!”
The Ancient Divine Dragon let out a roar and took to the sky. For now, the crisis of Dark Moon City had been alleviated.
The clouds acted like thick fogs that impeded my vision until suddenly, they cleared up completely. Then, a hellish scene entered my eyes. The flames of war were literally burning across the entire Wind City domain, and my heart chilled at the sight of it.
The flashes of skills happened all across the ground. I spotted the players of Northern Alliance, Cyan Earth City, Elephant City and even the Chaotic 27. Heaven knows what kind of coercion they received to join in on the invasion of the China server as well.
……
At the edge of a burning stream, a group of Northern Alliance cavalrymen was chasing after a couple hundred Purple Lily archers. They were going to die very soon if I didn’t do something to help them.
”Descend!”
The Ancient Divine Dragon swooped down on the cavalry troop, and I unleashed my Coiling Dragon Revolution, Burning Blade Slash, Summon the Storm and more. It didn’t matter how high their Defense was, no one here could withstand my Myriad Swords Obliteration.
The 1000-strong cavalry troop lost over 200 of their numbers in the blink of an eye. The cavalry leader’s eyes widened. ”Shit, it’s Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! Withdraw!”
They turned tail and ran, but I didn’t give chase. I looked back at the archers and asked, ”Where is your main force? Where is it?”
One of the girls immediately broke down crying. ”They’re trapped inside the West Wind Trail. They might even be destroyed already!”
”How is that possible? This is Purple Lily we’re talking about!” I exclaimed in shock.
”Vienna’s Sorrow and Breeze and Rain are commanding the encirclement personally. Not even boss will be able to break through them…”
”Fuck!”
I clenched my fists and checked the Nation War contribution points. As expected, Luo River God of the Capital was at first place with almost 3 times the points of the runner-up, Candlelight Shadow. However, her dim ID showed that she was dead. In fact, six of the Top 10 players on the leaderboard had all died. The fact that most of them were Purple Lily mages was all the proof I needed to accept that Purple Lily was truly destroyed.
It was unbelievable, but this was Vienna’s Sorrow and Breeze and Rain that we were talking about, two of the strongest experts in the entire world, be it in terms of individual prowess or strategic mind. In hindsight, it wasn’t surprising at all that the two of them combined possessed enough might to wipe out Purple Lily.
……
”I have to go. Take care!”
I leaped onto my dragon’s back and took off again. It wasn’t long before I spotted Wind City’s magnificent walls at the heart of the distant canyons, but it was surrounded by countless red names and defended by not nearly as many Chinese players.
I checked the Nation War interface again. The troop strength between the invaders and the defenders wasn’t comparable in the slightest—
Attacker: 79217371
Defender: 17991933
……
I couldn’t believe that the number of defenders didn’t even exceed twenty million. Heaven knows how many Chinese players had already perished in this war!
I spotted the Dragonlight Cavalry while I was still far, far away from them. He Yi, Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng and the rest of our players were fighting beneath the eastern walls. The attackers had no choice but to withdraw after losing tens of thousands of bodies and achieving nothing.
”Hah, hah…”
Gui Guzi was panting heavily despite the victory. His Spear of the Knight God was coated in so much blood that thick globs were dripping from it and painting the flowers on the grass blood-red. He couldn’t stop a flash of despair from entering his eyes as he stared at the horizon. ”Fuck, there’s no fucking way we can stop this. What do we do, boss…”
He Yi replied quietly, ”I don’t know…”
