The sky was dark, and lightning could be seen peeking through the gray clouds.
The cold rain splashed against the armor, and it seemed to extinguish the passion of the China players.
In a dense maple forest, countless players sat under the trees to rest. They hugged their weapons and closed their eyes, enjoying the momentary peace. Soon, when the rain stopped, we would launch the next wave of attacks. The City of Dawn would be plunged into misery and suffering again, and many lives would be lost.
"Our chances are slim," Solitary Grave said calmly as he gripped the Universe Sun Moon Blade.
"Oh?"
Bing Cha looked up at Solitary Grave and smiled. "Time Like Water, are you giving up?"
Solitary Grave was silent. Hellfire raised his sword and smiled. "So what if we don't give up?
Once the time is up and we have yet to surround the city, the System will announce that we have failed to attack the city. Perhaps, even White Cloud City will be punished. At that time, I'm afraid that we will become the target of everyone's criticism. "
I rose to my feet and sucked in a deep breath. I had a panoramic view of the Chinese players' camp. We didn't have many people left, about 1.5 million or so, and they were all scattered in the nearby forest. In the distance, I could see the French players roaming around and killing the lone Chinese players.
The Flame Dragon Cavalry and the other NPC legions had already set up camp at the foot of the City of Dawn. They set up blood-red tents, while others went to cut down trees to build temporary camps. Piles of bonfires were lit, and the huge Dawn Valley was lit up. In the distance, one could hear the laughter of the NPCs. There were also some female knights holding each other's arms and dancing gracefully.
I turned around and said, "Everyone, log off and rest. We'll come back online in ten hours. Our stamina is running low, and we won't be able to fight the NPC army head-on."
Solitary Grave nodded. "Let's do as Scholar says. Leave a few small guilds to defend the city. The rest of the main force should log off and rest. We'll come back online in ten hours."
"Understood."
The Alliance Masters of the various Alliances nodded and went to relay the news. Soon, the White Cloud City players' figures faded away. Many of them were exhausted. After two days of continuous battles, ordinary people wouldn't be able to endure it.
Naturally, the group of people from Xue Yue Studio went offline.
Taking off his helmet, he felt dizzy. He poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it. Only then did he sober up a little.
At around seven o 'clock in the morning, the group of people got dressed and went out to eat something to replenish their energy.
People were coming and going on the street. It was rush hour, and the cars were honking noisily. We went to a roadside restaurant and ordered a bunch of steamed buns.
"Come on, eat while it's hot."
Bing Cha pushed a basket of steamed buns in front of Ling Xue and me. Then, he chuckled and said, "Scholar, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood because we failed?"
I shook my head and smiled. "Of course not. I'm just wondering why the French Server is so strong. This is a bit unexpected."
Qin Yun took a sip of soy milk and said, "That's normal. It's a Rank 1 city, after all. It would be strange if the NPCs weren't strong. Just look at White Cloud City. They have the Silver Cavalry, the Blue Dragon Cavalry, and the Silver Dragon Cavalry …"
"It's too bad that these NPC armies haven't arrived yet. If they did, our chances of victory would be infinitely close to 100%." I sighed.
"Hurry up and eat. Do you want someone to feed you?"
Ling Xue stretched out her snow-white hand and pushed a steamed bun into my mouth. She smiled sweetly and said, "Good girl, have one. Big sis will feed you myself …"
Speechless, I took a bite. Ling Xue cried out, "Fuck!
You bit my hand, idiot … "
"XX …" I stared at Ling Xue.
Ling Xue rubbed the faint teeth marks on her fingers and said with an annoyed smile, "Scoundrel!"
"Come on, your foot is on my leg, and you're calling me a scoundrel!?"
"I'm tired …"
Qin Yun and Ling Xue giggled at the side. Chrysanthemum Daohana gulped down two bowls of soy milk and asked timidly, "Can I have another bowl?"
The waitress giggled and went to refill another bowl.
Falling Rain pushed the empty bowl in front of her and said, "Drink more. I heard that drinking soy milk can make this one grow bigger …"
Falling Rain silently gestured at her chest, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
Moved, Xia Xia hurriedly said, "Miss, another five bowls of soy milk!"
When Zi Yue heard this, she didn't take another sip and only drank a bowl of plain water.
After eating several steamed buns, I recovered some of my stamina. Holding the soy milk, I said, "When we get online in the afternoon, we must take down Dawn City. Otherwise, White Cloud City will lose so many levels and it'll be a waste!"
Ling Xue said, "Unless White Cloud City's NPC army comes, our chances of taking down Dawn City are zero."
"That's hard to say. Let's see when we get online!"
"Mn."
… …
After breakfast, I returned to the workshop and slept until four in the afternoon. Then, I ate dinner. There was still an hour before the ten hour deadline, so I went online early.
Whoosh!
A white light flew into the air and appeared in the maple forest. The rain had stopped, but the ground was still wet.
It looked like the rain hadn't stopped for a long time. According to the real world, it should have been an entire day. In the game, it should have been more than a week.
Around me, there were a few White Cloud City players sitting on the ground. Some were wandering around looking for enemies to kill.
Light flashed next to me, and a beautiful figure appeared. It was Bing Cha.
"Ling Xue and Sister Qin Yun went to the supermarket to do some shopping. They'll be online in about an hour. They told me to tell you," Bing Cha said with a smile.
"Oh, you're not going?" I asked.
Bing Cha pursed her lips and said, "They've already left. I'm too lazy to go, so I'll just accompany you online. I don't want you to be lonely."
I couldn't help but smile. "Oh, I see. Let's go. I'll bring you around."
"Mn."
I summoned my Flame Warhorse, but Bing Cha refused to summon her White Tiger. She shamelessly wanted me to bring her along. Left with no choice, I pulled her onto the horse.
I rode the Flame Warhorse into the forest. This place was to the east of Dawn City. Judging from the map, it was a cliff, and above the cliff was a plain.
"Did you notice that, Scholar?"
Iced Tea wasn't being well-behaved as she sat in my embrace. She reached out to tug on the chain of her Heavenly Forged Battle Boots and asked with a smile.
I pressed down on her restless hand and asked, "What did you notice?
Can you stop for a moment, big sister … "
Bing Cha blinked and giggled. "Hey, did you notice that?
Dawn City is adjacent to Green Mountain Ridge to the east, and the map shows that there's a dark green area behind it! "
"Hmm, dark green. What does that mean?"
A trace of cunning flashed through Bing Cha's eyes. "It means that it's a body of water. If we keep going forward, we'll find the answer. Maybe I'm right."
"Oh?"
I didn't know what Bing Cha meant, but I still followed her instructions and galloped forward.
We hadn't gone far when we suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in the distance. I reined in my horse and frowned. "What's that sound?
Is a fairy taking a bath here? "
Bing Cha giggled. "In your dreams. How about I take a bath and show you?"
I glanced at her, my heart pounding. "Forget it. Why don't you watch Ling Xue take a bath?"
"Hmph hmph!"
Bing Cha glared at me. "This sound doesn't sound like a fairy taking a bath. It's more like a natural phenomenon. Have you figured it out yet?"
My heart sank. "A waterfall?"
"Yes, smart. As expected of our scholar!" Iced Tea praised as she pursed her lips and smiled.
I hurriedly sped up the Flame Warhorse and passed through the forest. I saw a towering cliff of green mountains in front of me. A long white chain hung from the top of the mountain, and the sound of water splashing could be heard. A pool had formed on the ground, and the water overflowed and flowed into the forest in several rivers.
Bing Cha's beautiful eyes sparkled. She said with a smile, "So beautiful. What a spectacular waterfall. It should be as beautiful as the Huang Guoshu, right?"
A girl's love of beauty wasn't just limited to her appearance. The beauty of nature could conquer a girl's heart. Right now, Bing Cha was clearly conquered. Her eyes were shining.
"Let's go!" I turned my horse around.
"What?"
Bing Cha turned around and looked at me. She begged, "Scholar, the Nation War is going to start soon. Let's stay here and enjoy the scenery. It's not like you can see this kind of scenery anywhere!"
"I know. Maybe you'll see something even more spectacular later!"
"Oh? What?"
"Just wait and see!"
I opened the map and found a shortcut. Then, I urged my horse to go around the peak of Mount Daqing. I walked along the forest filled with wet rivers. Suddenly, a vast expanse appeared in front of me. It was a natural freshwater lake, formed by a week's worth of rain. I could even see the tops of the trees in the lake. The original forest had been submerged.
"Wow, this … is a huge flood …" Bing Cha's mouth fell open.
I patted her shoulder and smiled. "Bing Cha."
"Hm?"
"What does this lake remind you of?"
"Qinghai Lake. What do you mean?"
"Oh, forget it. Pretend I never asked."
I laughed and said nothing. Then, I urged my horse and galloped down the mountain.
Bing Cha was confused. She turned around and asked, "What is it?"
"I have a plan. A plan that can destroy Dawn City."
"What plan?!
Tell me, tell me! "Iced Tea opened her eyes wide and looked at me excitedly.
I swallowed and said in a low voice.
"That is, to drown Dawn City!"
Bing Cha's mouth fell open, but she couldn't say a word.
… …
White Cloud City's players came online in Maple Forest.
I held my sword and urged my horse forward. I shouted, "All guilds pay attention. Once you're online, immediately move to the hill behind. Without my orders, no one is allowed to come down. Move now, and don't ask me why!"
Ling Xue rode her Snow Feather Pegasus and caught up to me. She asked, "Why?"
I was speechless. I replied, "Nothing. Xiao Xue, hurry up and bring Ling Yue and Qin Yun up. Don't come down!"
This time, Ling Xue was very obedient. "Oh, got it!"
As soon as Lonely Grave came online, he saw my shout and asked me why. I told him not to ask and to just lead everyone up the hill. The other guilds also passed down the same order. Although I wasn't the commander of this operation, my orders were still unquestionable.
After more than an hour, almost all of the players from White Cloud City had moved to the middle of the mountain. The densely packed players were in a mess.
I estimated the height. It was about there.
Holding the beautiful Thunder Swordsman in my arms, I urged my horse back and galloped away. I said with a smile, "Bing Cha, it's time for us to make a contribution."
Bing Cha understood my strategy and smiled. "You bastard!"
Below Dawn City, the troops from Falling Flame City were still resting. In the sky, the Dragon Knight's Brave Heart was circling, protecting his people.
The entire Dawn Valley is filled with elite cavalry. They are currently gathering and are about to launch their final assault on the White Cloud City's forces. If they succeed, our last chance will be gone.
It wasn't long before Bing Cha and I arrived in front of the waterfall. It was a huge waterfall that stretched for thousands of meters. It was truly a paradise. With such a large amount of water, it was more than enough to drown Dawn City.
I pointed at the forest behind us and smiled. "Soon, this place will be a thing of the past. A flood will swallow everything."
Bing Cha jumped off his horse and stood under the waterfall. He smiled. "Yes. What about us?
What should we do? "
I glanced at my feet and said, "Once the cliff is breached, we'll climb this stone wall to a safe area. When we do, we have to be careful. Don't let the water wash us away."
Bing Cha stuck out his tongue. "You have to protect me."
"Yes, I know."
After that, the two of us activated our Emotion Skill together.
One Sword, Cut the Dust!
Whoosh!
A ray of green light flew out from the Moonlight Ice Blade. Ice Tea's spear was wrapped in a ball of purple light. This was a very destructive skill. I believe that with our current strength, we can definitely destroy this thick cliff!
"Go!"
I swung my Moonlight Sword, and a sharp sword energy soared into the sky. It struck the mountain!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A series of loud explosions rang out. The sword energy rippled out, and a hundred-meter wide crack appeared on the cliff. Not only that, the shockwaves caused a chain reaction, and the cliff began to explode. The effect was far greater than I had expected. In an instant, a two-thousand-meter wide crack was formed!
The mountain torrent was endless, and it couldn't be stopped.
The surging flood was like the end of the world. It came crashing down like Mount Tai!
Bing Cha's face turned pale. "What should we do? What should we do?"
"What else can we do?
Come here! "
I stabbed my sword into the stone wall on the ground, all the way to the hilt. Then, I pulled Bing Cha into my arms and smiled. "Silly girl, you're still looking!
Prepare for the impact! "
As I said that, I suddenly lowered my body and lay on the stone ground with Bing Cha. I gripped the hilt of my Moonlight Sword tightly. With this obstacle, we should be able to stop the flood, right?
"Pu!"
My body turned cold. The water rushed at me, followed by suffocating fear.
