The vast Rain Dew Forest was sleeping. The night was abnormally quiet.
The sky was filled with stars, and the faint cries of insects came from the forest. Dew bathed the land, and the leaves of the grass shone faintly under the starlight.
The smell of blood had yet to fade. After a series of battles, the grass in front of the King's City was almost dyed red with blood. Countless players had been killed back to the main city. Some had gone offline, but even more had gone to grind because they couldn't enter the siege zone.
… …
Hellfire looked up at the sky and said, "Is Twilight Ranger really that strong?"
"I don't know."
I shook my head. "None of us have seen her before. Maybe everyone who has seen her has been killed …"
Solitary Grave said, "Scholar, the tenth wave is coming up. What do you plan to do? Do you want to leave the city?
According to my estimates, the tenth wave will be far stronger than the ninth. We'd better go all out, or we may not be able to keep the three cities. "
I nodded. "Yes, but I don't plan to leave the city. The siege has already begun, and if our people die, we won't be able to enter. Instead of dying outside, it's better to stay behind the city and rely on the arrow towers to defend."
"Alright!"
Ling Xue sat on the city gate, her War God Cape fluttering slightly. She was beautiful beyond belief. She sighed and said, "The eighth wave is already so strong. What will the last wave be like?"
I smiled and walked over to pat her shoulder. "Don't worry too much. We'll deal with it when it comes. Even if we lose the city, we can still take it back. It's no big deal."
"Yes."
Ling Xue leaned her face on my shoulder and smiled. "The main culprit behind this siege is the Seven-star Lamp. Shouldn't we give them a meaningful blow?"
'What do you suggest? 'I asked.
Ling Xue gazed into the distance as a murderous glint appeared in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Snow Moon Alliance is going all out. We're determined to drive Soul Battle Robes out of White Cloud City. Even if we have to flee to the Outer Reaches, we're going to kill them all. At the very least, we're going to make sure that no one from Soul Battle Robes dares to come online for at least two days. We're going to use this opportunity to tell every guild in the world that this is the price of provoking Snow Moon!"
I nodded with a smile and said sternly, "Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking. After we secure the territory, we'll rest for half a day and begin the operation against Soul Battle Robes!"
"En!"
At that moment, Bing Cha walked over slowly and asked, "What do you think the last wave of monsters will be?
The previous nine waves of monsters included those that flew in the sky, those that ran on the ground, and those that swam in the water. What will the ninth wave be? "
"Have you seen Twilight Ranger Audin's diary?" I asked.
"No!" Bing Cha shook his head.
"Twilight Ranger Audin used to be a human girl, but after she fell to the dark side and became the leader of the dark side, she gained a very terrifying ability called Bewitchment. It is said that this Bewitchment skill can even turn powerful dragons against her. Therefore, you'd better be mentally prepared. The tenth wave of monsters may surprise all of us."
"What's worse is that there will be a lot of them …" Ling Yue added.
Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious. The Magic Cube of Fate gritted its teeth and stood at the edge of the city walls. The longbow in its hand flashed with holy light, and Nangong Yuexi stared at the direction of Dew Forest. She slung the longbow behind her back and pulled out the sword at her waist. She said, "If we fail, we die trying."
Zi Yue corrected me. "No, we must succeed. Snow Moon will not fail!"
I smiled. "That's right!
We must succeed! Even if it's the first boss, Annihilation Abyss, or the top three bosses like the Frost Blade or Ice Warsong, we cannot lose!
At the very least, we cannot lose the courage to defeat our enemies! "
Courage was a very powerful thing. If everyone moved forward bravely, they could often defeat enemies stronger than themselves.
Everyone waited quietly. I didn't know how much time had passed, but the battle in the An County was nearing its end. Vanilla and Ice and Soul Battle Robes were evenly matched, and the result was still unknown.
But the result was not something we could control. Right now, Snow Moon was facing a powerful enemy — Audin The Twilight Ranger!
… …
Rustle rustle...
A commotion suddenly broke out in the forest. Countless nocturnal birds flew into the air, forming a black mass.
"What's going on?"
Ling Xue walked forward and looked into the distance. She gritted her teeth and said, "What could alarm all the animals in Dew Forest?"
I looked into the distance and said, "A lot of powerful and familiar domain powers."
"What do you mean?
Scholar … "Qin Yun looked at me with puzzlement.
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "It looks like a dragon's domain power, and it's much stronger than any dragon I've seen in the past …"
"This …" Qin Yun slowly shook her head. "That's not possible, is it?
We … "
It was at this moment a draconic roar resounded. Three giant shadows appeared in the sky and flew toward us. More and more of them appeared, and the sky above Dew Forest was filled with these giant creatures!
A ray of morning light pierced through the clouds. Under the light, we finally saw what the intruders were!
Ancient Dragons!
That's right, these creatures looked like fossils. They were covered in stone-like dragon armor, and their bodies were almost three times longer than T-rex's. They were all "old immortals" of the dragon race, and even Bing Lan had a headache dealing with them. She had been caught off guard many times because of the Ancient Dragons' ambush.
All of the Xue Yue players on the city walls had their mouths wide open. They were all dumbstruck.
What's going on?
At this moment, many people were cursing Soul Battle Robes. A trivial quest like the Seven Star Lantern had actually brought disaster to three counties of Xue Yue. If it had only been one or two ancient dragons, it wouldn't have been a big deal. However, there were at least a hundred ancient dragons in front of them. Who could stop them?
"Scholar …"
Ling Yue pulled my wrist and said, "Fly over there and check the Ancient Dragons' stats. Send them back to us and see if we have a chance of winning …"
I nodded, and with a whistle, I leapt onto the back of the T-Rex. Like an arrow, the dragon and human shot out, leaving the King's City in an instant.
When I was a safe distance away, I locked onto one of the Ancient Dragons with Eye of the Stars. The monster's stats immediately appeared in the party channel —
[Fallen Ancient Dragon] (Demon Domain Boss)
Level: 265
Attack: 505000 ~ 850000
Defense: 105,0000
HP: 6050,0000
Skills: [Prestige], [Cruel Trample], [Dragon Wing Slap]
Property: Demon Domain Transformation
Introduction: An ancient creature that hibernated in the Desolate Lands. The world had once forgotten these dragons, and they would hibernate at the extreme ends of the world. However, one day, a beautiful girl of darkness came to the Desolate Lands, and the peace of these dragons was shattered. A mysterious magic caused the Ancient Dragons to fall into depravity, and they became one of the most powerful monsters in the entire Spirit of Grief Continent...
"Fuck, a Demon Domain Boss?!"
Dark Shadow Drifter rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice, "We're in big trouble. We're really in big trouble this time!"
I immediately said, "Ling Yue, Xiao Xue, summon all the archers and NPC soldiers in Sky Water County and Apple County. King's Capital urgently needs ranged troops!"
"Mn!"
The two girls opened the city interface and summoned people.
I sucked in a deep breath and flew back to the city walls. Then, I ordered loudly, "All archers and mages, pay attention. You are the key to victory in this war. The tenth wave is full of bosses, so be careful. Once the boss gets close, use Stun Arrow and Corrosive Arrow. Warriors, push forward and do your best to lure the Ancient Dragon down. If you can't do it, the warriors will act as cannon fodder and attract fire for your teammates!
In short, we are with Snow Moon! "
"Are we going to use Emotion Skills this time?" Bing Cha asked.
I immediately nodded. "Yes. One of you, go and lure a few more dragons over. We'll use Emotion Skills together!"
"You?" Bing Cha tilted his head and asked.
I shuddered and shook my head. "No!
Xiao Xue will go … "
"How can you bear to do that?"
"Xiao Xue has Wrath of the Sword and Shield. It's a skill that can block all attacks, but it's not invincible. That's why it can still attract the boss' aggro. It's the best way to lure the mobs."
Ling Xue nodded in agreement. "Sister Qin Yun, revive me. I'm going!"
"Mn!"
Qin Yun cast a Resurrection Prophecy, and Ling Xue rode the Amethyst Dragon into the sky. We encountered five Ancient Dragons head-on, and Ling Xue's long HP bar dropped to zero in just five breaths!
Swhoosh!
White light flashed, and Ling Xue was one-shot!
Ling Xue quickly revived and tested the boss's strength. She immediately activated Wrath of the Sword and Shield and urged the Amethyst Dragon to fly up and down, luring twenty or so Ancient Dragons over.
I quickly jumped off the dragon's back and said to Ling Yue, "Come, use Ice Rain Pierce!"
Ling Yue nodded, and the two of them entered their transformation state at the same time. In an instant, countless ice swords rained down from the sky and landed on the back of the ancient dragon. Like a nuclear bomb, layers of shock waves exploded, and the surrounding dragons were also affected!
However, the Ancient Dragons were no ordinary monsters. They were only injured, but not killed. In fact, they maintained their original path and flew to the edge of the city walls. They were about to fight.
After the Ice Rain Pierce was over, Ling Yue took a deep breath. She had used up too much of her domain power. I quickly drank a Super Mana Potion and said to Chrysanthemum Daohana, "Use Blazing Sky Prison!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana nodded, and silver light appeared in her eyes. She had used the Eyes of the Moon effect. This way, the chances of Blazing Sky Prison being sealed would greatly increase.
A few seconds later, another large-scale Emotion Skill fell, enveloping dozens of Ancient Dragons and sealing them one by one. Then, I used the fire dragon's energy to damage them.
Thirty seconds later, the Ancient Dragons still had more than half of their HP left. This was too troublesome!
Slightly angry, Bing Cha walked forward and said, "Scholar, hurry up and drink your mana potion. One more hit. These monsters are going to die!"
I nodded, and a few seconds later, my sword left a trail of dust!
Boom!
More than a dozen dragons in a line were hit at the same time. They fell to the ground like flies. On the ground, the melee players of Snow Moon didn't miss the opportunity to attack. Thousands of people surrounded an Ancient Dragon and slashed at it. Rays of sword light crisscrossed.
At this time, more than a hundred Ancient Dragons were close to the city walls. Many of them were already fighting the players. The Ancient Dragons' attacks ranged from 20 yards of dragon breath to close-range tearing and crushing attacks.
It was a mess on the city walls. I rode on Xiaoqing and continued to participate in the battle.
A Holy Domain player might not be able to solo five dragons, but in a 1v1, I could still fight them to a draw. After all, even though the Primordial Dragon was famous, it was only a Demon Domain Boss. For the current me, as long as it wasn't a God Tier Boss, then it would be impossible for it to deal fatal damage to me. With a priest healing me, I would be able to forcefully kill it.
And so, I pulled Qin Yun onto the dragon's back and fought an Ancient Dragon alone in the sky.
Below the city walls, sparks flew everywhere. The Ancient Dragons were surrounded and killed by players. Unfortunately, the flames of dragon breath were a ghastly sight to behold. Autumn Rain, Stewed Green Plum Wine, Sword and Rose, and other allied guilds were killing their way out of the city. Countless archers were shooting at the sky, and almost every Ancient Dragon was surrounded by thousands or even tens of thousands of players. But they weren't at a disadvantage at all, and every dragon breath burned a group of players into ashes.
On top of the city wall, two giant dragons were wreaking havoc. They glided down, and with a "boom", they smashed a section of the city wall that was more than ten meters away. They opened their giant mouths and suddenly swallowed two long-range mages. Then, they turned around and unleashed another dragon breath, burning a group of shield-wielding soldiers into ashes.
At this time, Chrysanthemum Daohana flashed over and waved her scepter. One of the Ancient Dragons was immediately sealed, and its giant body lay on the city walls like a python coiled around a window sill!
Puchi!
A red light flashed as Purple Moon activated her Ambush skill. She swung her dagger and plunged it into the dragon's eye, drawing out a large amount of crimson dragon blood and dealing over 200,000 damage to the Boss. Not bad. Since when did our Lethal Weapon Assassin have such high DPS?
Nangong Yuexi fired a Tractor Arrow to reduce the boss's HP, and Summer summoned a bunch of pets to surround the boss and beat it up. The girls barely managed to kill it.
Below the city walls, the Shadow Follower and the Magic Cube of Fate were working together to trap an Ancient Dragon. The Shadow Follower was roaring nonstop, and killing it was incredibly difficult. This was especially true for the Shadow Follower who was acting as the main tank. After it was healed to full, its HP dropped by half in an instant, and this was the effect of the War God Equipment Set. The rest of the players were almost instantly one-shot, and no priest was able to heal them at all.
The battle was incredibly fierce, and the number of players below the city walls kept decreasing under the dragon's sharp fangs. The ground was scorched black, and the dragon breath claimed the lives of countless players.
It took me more than twenty minutes to kill the Ancient Dragon I was fighting. Equipment and gold fell from the sky, but there was no time to collect the gold. I simply picked up a couple of pieces of equipment and put them into my bag. One of them was a Sage-grade leather armor wristguard, and the rest were Immortal-grade items that could be found anywhere.
There was no doubt that if we could kill these 100 Ancient Dragons after this siege, the strength of the top-tier players on Snow Moon would greatly increase. Even if we lost levels, we could always grind them back. Divine and Sage-grade equipment wasn't something that could be found anywhere.
