Falling Flame City was a major human city located in the forest in the southwest corner of the Spirit of Grief Continent. It was one of the few empires on the continent. It was extremely powerful and had a strong army. It had once enslaved a group of mountain dwarves. These dwarves had forged a large number of excellent equipment. Black ironstone armor and magic crystal-plated weapons were commonly used by the army of Falling Flame City.
Dawn City and Falling Flame City were parallel to each other, and they were adjacent to the most powerful human empire on the continent — White Cloud City.
Therefore, they were closely related. When Dawn City was attacked by White Cloud City, the nobles of Falling Flame City could no longer enjoy themselves by the bedside of their wives. They had to lead their army north to break the siege of Dawn City. Otherwise, once Dawn City fell, the next city to be conquered would definitely be Falling Flame City.
The human empires, orc empires, and elven empires had always been at war with each other. When the Army of Darkness arrived, they united to form the Silvermoon Alliance. When the forces of darkness went dormant, this fragile agreement was gone. The conquest of Falling Flame City and Dawn City was imperative. It was something that no one could stop.
The Spirit of Grief Continent was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no such thing as Confucianism. If one did not want to be swallowed by others, then one had to strike first and gain the upper hand. Such a simple principle was understood by everyone. This was also the reason why White Cloud City launched the attack. Therefore, we have no regrets!
…
"Oh my god, look at their armor. It's glowing with black iron. Such excellent armor. Could it be …"
As Solitary Grave spoke, his body suddenly trembled. His pupils instantly shrank. He growled, "Damn!
Things were not looking good. The attacking army was an NPC army!
They are the trump card army of Falling Flame City in France, the Flaming Dragon Knight Corps! "
"Flaming Dragon Knight Corps?" Ling Xue's mouth fell open in shock.
Solitary Grave nodded and said in a deep voice, "I've read about Fallen Flame City. In the epic of Spirit of Grief, Fallen Flame City once suffered a calamity. At that time, it was the Flame Dragon Knight Corps that fought their way back from the border to the capital. They slaughtered the enemy until rivers of blood flowed, and their name spread across the continent overnight."
I raised my head to look at the mountain range to the southwest. Cavalrymen were galloping across the mountain range. All of them were riding on black warhorses. Their armor was also black, and they were wielding sharp swords in their hands. They looked murderous!
"From the looks of it, it shouldn't be very powerful, right?
We should be able to hold them off … "I said with a smile.
Solitary Grave shook his head. "Scholar, you're underestimating the Flame Dragon Cavalry. Their strength isn't in their individual combat prowess, but in their ability to charge. Furthermore, there are so many of them that we can't handle them!"
Solitary Grave looked into the distance and laughed coldly. "Also, if there are no surprises, the players of the French Server will also come. If they aren't idiots, they'll move together with the Flame Dragon Cavalry."
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "In the southwest corner, the first to be attacked will be Sword and Rose and Xuanyuan Sword. Can those two guilds handle it?"
"Snow Moon and Temple of the Moon, go help them. Leave this to Fleeting Time and Rain Listening Pavilion!" Solitary Grave ordered.
I glanced at Seven-star Lamp. He was wiping the rain off his face. I nodded and said, "Alright!"
Ling Xue went to pass the order. The Snow Feather Pegasus turned into a snow-white shadow that flew in front of the player camp. Ling Xue's voice was sweet and loud. "All Snow Moon players, move south and prepare to face the power of Fallen Flame City!"
The troops moved majestically. Ling Yue asked, "Scholar, why aren't we defending?"
I shook my head and smiled. "No, if we defend, the players of the French Server will definitely work together with the Korean players in the city. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides, and our camp will inevitably collapse. Therefore, we must stop the Flame Dragon Cavalry outside of Dawnlight City!"
"Oh, I see …"
Seven-star Lamp raised the Chaos Heaven Piercing Blade and shouted, "Soul Battle Robes!
Come with me, let's go meet the people from France. Those who haven't seen Brave Heart before will have a feast for their eyes! "
Brave Knight General asked with a smile, "Is Brave Heart's chest big?"
Seven-star Lamp sneered. "You'll have to ask her."
At this time, Ling Xue ran back and pulled Ling Yue onto her horse. Bing Cha took Chrysanthemum Daohana, and Qin Yun was given to me. Summer, Soundless Rain, Zi Yue, Snow Seeing Grass, and the rest of the girls followed the main force.
The rain was still pouring down, and it made pattering sounds when it hit the armor. The rhythmic pounding formed the prelude to a great war. The iron hooves of the warhorses stomped on the soil of war, leaving behind a patch of mud. The ground gave off dull sounds. This war seemed to have just begun.
To the east of Dawnlight City, countless players began to move on the vast plains of the canyon. There were more than two hundred thousand players left in Snow Moon, and they covered a small portion of the plains. On the other side of Snow Moon was the Temple of the Moon branch led by Seven-star Lamp. Seven-star Lamp called them Soul Battle Robes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seven-star Lamp's troops numbered about a hundred thousand. It wasn't a large number, but it was a force that couldn't be ignored. At the very least, we needed this force to attack Dawnlight City.
The weather was cold because of the rain, and Qin Yun was drenched in sweat. She couldn't help but shiver.
I hurriedly grabbed the reins with one hand and hugged her with the other. The warmth in the game wasn't very tangible, but it was enough to make Qin Yun feel blessed. She turned around with a smile and said, "Scholar, are you feeling sorry for me?"
I smiled awkwardly. "You can say that."
I turned around and looked at Ling Xue and Ling Yue. They were galloping through the crowd, and Bing Cha was protecting them. Dragon Soul was waving his Ghost Blade and moving side by side with Xing Tian, Flying Fire, Spring And Autumn Dance, and the other main warriors. Behind them, there was a sea of Snow Moon players. Their armor was bright, and their swords were like a forest. The sound of hooves on the ground was like muffled thunder.
… …
In the distance, the reinforcements of Falling Flame City were getting closer and closer. A large number of black-armored knights swung their blades and charged murderously toward Dawnlight City. In the sky, a few large black dots were getting closer and closer.
"What is that?" Ling Xue looked at the sky with shock in her eyes.
Bing Cha said, "It's probably an Aerial Knight. It's most likely a Dragon Knight!"
I said solemnly, "That's right. They're part of the Fire Dragon Cavalry, so they naturally have a Dragon Knight. It looks like a Black Dragon Knight, a fire type Black Dragon Knight!"
"Roar roar!"
The giant dragon in the sky let out a sky-shaking roar and spat out flames from its nostrils. As expected, it really was a fire type black dragon.
"This is troublesome!"
Ling Xue gritted her teeth, helplessness in her eyes. "Plus, Brave Heart, we only have Scholar who can fly. This battle is completely unfair!"
"Then there's nothing we can do. It's unfair, and we have no reason to retreat."
"Yes..."
When I led the way to the south of Dawn City, a person walked out from Sword and Rose's camp. It was little Nangong. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Damn Falling Flame City!"
I looked at her and said, "Prepare to defend!
Snow Moon and Temple of the Moon will block the attacks from Falling Flame City. "
"Yes, thank you..."
Nangong turned around and left. She did not try to be brave. Sword and Rose was not the Sword and Rose that Murong Shanshan had led in the past. They definitely could not fight head-on against the NPC army of Falling Flame City.
I raised my Moonlight Sword high and ordered, "All melee players, to the front line and prepare to receive Charge!
Spear Knights, hold your spears. Archers, second line, prepare to Stun Arrows. Mages, third line, prepare to use Ice Roar. Summoners, release your pets to harass them. Assassins, wait for an opportunity to ambush them!
This time, we have to block them no matter what! "
As soon as I finished speaking, "keng keng keng keng" sounds of swords being unsheathed could be heard. The frontline players all unsheathed their swords. The players with spears pointed their spears forward and used their advantage to deal damage to the enemy cavalry.
On the plains to the southwest, an entire line of defense stretched for several kilometers. A black mass of players was waiting for the enemy to charge. The entire battlefield was deathly silent.
"Boom boom boom!"
Their battle helmets buzzed. The ground was shaking. The Fire Dragon Cavalry Army had already begun their charge. Their speed had obviously increased by a notch. They charged down from the top of the mountain like a torrential flood. That kind of ferocious impact shocked the hearts of people!
"D * mn!"
Seven-Star Lamp spat out a mouthful of saliva and raised his Chaos Sun and Moon Blade horizontally. His face no longer had the frivolous look of the past. Even he was cautious, which showed how terrifying these Flame Dragon Riders were.
The earth shook and the sky turned dark. Countless tall Flame Dragon Knights urged their horses and raised their swords. The rumbling of their hooves shook the sky and caused all of us to suck in a cold breath. This guy wanted to block them. As expected, it would be difficult!
"Block them!
Block them for me!
No one is allowed to take half a step back! "
Seven-star Lamp's eyes were bloodshot. He was almost roaring at the front of the battlefield.
"They're here!"
I shouted, "Block the first wave and prepare to counterattack. Priests, heal. Warriors, don't retreat. Pay attention to the openings!"
… …
Finally, the two armies clashed. The elite Flame Dragon Cavalry was only a hundred steps away from us.
Silent Falling Rain's crisp voice rang, "Archers, get ready!
Stun Arrows, shoot indiscriminately — fire! "
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A milky-white arrow light interweaved in the air, and instantly fell on the Fire Dragon Cavalry Army.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Countless sounds rang out. Many of the cavalry at the front were stunned. They lost their direction and fell off their horses. They were then trampled into meat paste by their comrades behind them.
"D * mn!
These NPCs don't want to live! "Seven-star Lamp shouted.
"Bang!"
Finally, we came into contact. I tilted my sword and swung it down. With a "Keng", an NPC cavalryman was forced to retreat. Beside me, Ling Xue also swung her Ice Sword Qi and stunned a group of cavalrymen.
Seven-star Lamp shouted, "Ghost Sword Energy!"
The sword light swept down and a large group of NPCs lost health.
"Cha cha cha!"
The fearless Flame Dragon Knights collided with the spears of the players. Their armor was instantly pierced through and blood was everywhere. However, they still maintained their [Charge] state. After the melee, their swords fell like snow into the crowd of players.
The moment the skill was released, over 90% of the frontline warriors had their Defense broken. The Flame Dragon Knights' levels were too high and their attacks were too strong. They instantly tore open a gap in the players.
"Shua shua shua …"
Sword light flashed and many of the players at the front fell to the ground and died.
"D * mn!
Trash, hurry up and fill in the gaps! "Seven-star Lamp was furious.
I was a bit unhappy, but I didn't say anything. I just shouted, "Seven-star Lamp, not everyone has a high-grade Immortal-grade set like you!"
"Hmph!" Seven-star Lamp didn't argue with me.
Dragon Soul swung his sword to block the attacks of the NPCs and encouraged, "Brothers, fight!
Once we kill these Falling Flame City knights, I'll find an empty space and choose a group of girls for everyone to enjoy! "
Everyone laughed heartily. However, under the assault of the Flame Dragon Knights, their laughter quickly died down.
As players continued to die, the faction was about to collapse.
I hurriedly turned around and carried Ling Yue from the crowd.
"What, what?" Ling Yue's face was red. "There are so many people here!"
"Nothing!
Hurry, use your Emotion skill, Ice Rain Break!
That skill can slow down and freeze targets. It's very effective against the Flame Dragon Knight! "
"Oh, okay!"
I disengaged the Flame Warhorse and stood next to Ling Yue. I also put up a Domain Shield to protect both of us. Then, I activated my Emotion skill!
Ice Rain Break!
Instantly, countless ice swords descended from the sky, bombarding the Flame Dragon Cavalry indiscriminately. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Many of the charging NPC soldiers were frozen in place, receiving a baptism of attacks from the player faction's Mages and Archers.
Therefore, Ling Yue and I's Emotion skill was like a snow lotus blooming on the ground, and the morale of the players in a small area soared!
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!" Bing Cha laughed softly, turned around and pierced a Flame Dragon Knight with his spear.
Ling Xue had already started her counterattack, and her sword was wreaking havoc in the crowd. Out of all the China players present, she was the only one with this kind of courage. Even Seven-star Lamp and the others couldn't help but sigh in admiration. A fearless and powerful swordswoman like her was exactly what we needed right now.
Thud thud...
Ling Xue swung her sword twice and unexpectedly activated the Snow Domain Blade's additional effect. Countless icicles burst out and turned the Flame Dragon Knights in front of her into candied haws.
I bid farewell to Ling Yue and charged back. Moonlight Ice Blade swept across the area —
"Rising Dragon Strike!"
"Blade Storm!"
"Afterimage Strike!"
I threw out a series of skills, and the surrounding Flame Dragon Knights trembled in fear.
His arm suddenly felt a chill, and the Moonlight Ice Blade expanded countless times, transforming into a huge green sword. It pierced into the crowd of Flame Dragon Knights and swept across them. Once the Heavenly Strike was used, it was simply earth-shattering and godly.
A group of low-health Flame Dragon Knights charged toward me. I gritted my teeth and charged forward!
Puchi!
The Moonlight Sword turned into a cyan light and penetrated the chest of a Flame Dragon Knight. The sharp sword energy continued to wreak havoc, and all the Flame Dragon Knights in its path were sent flying. Terrifying damage numbers rose above their heads —
“736369！”
“635362！”
“693401！”
“721376！”
Holy shit!
That was a Splash Slash!
… …
It was at this moment a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the player camp not far away.
Boom!
A black sword energy fell from the sky and cut a deep trench in the ground. A group of players was torn to pieces!
Seven-star Lamp's eyes turned cold. "The Dragon Knight is here!"
