The mountain torrent, which was hundreds of meters deep, suddenly erupted and poured into the vast Dawn Canyon. The forest was in a mess, and countless trees were broken. The broken trees floated on the surface of the water, adding to the impact of the torrent. More gravel was swept away by the torrent and rushed toward the direction of the City of Dawn.
"Wuuu..."
Iced Tea Cat, who was in my arms, cried out in fear. She hugged my arm tightly and didn't dare to move an inch. Moreover, the broken stones in the water kept hitting us, breaking into pieces on our armor.
The current was so fast and murky that I could not open my eyes at all. My vision was blurry, and I could not tell which direction to go. I could only rely on the system map to make a decision.
Head north. There was a small hill there, and it was our escape route.
Players could not stay underwater for too long, or they would suffocate to death. Moreover, if they were washed away by the current, the rapid water would not give them a chance to swim to the surface. They would suffocate at the bottom of the river.
I tightened my arms and said with difficulty, "Bing Cha..."
Bing Cha puffed her cheeks and refused to open her eyes.
Damn, are we done for?
I did not dare to let go. Moonlight Blade stabbed into the stone. It was this resistance that prevented us from being washed away by the flood.
I had no choice but to send a message to Bing Cha. "Open your eyes. We cannot wait to die here. Walk with me, and we will take turns using Moonlight Blade and Breaking Dawn to stabilize the ground."
Only then did Bing Cha open her eyes. She was very smart. After understanding my intention, she stabbed Breaking Dawn into the stone ground. "Clang!" The spear was halfway into the ground.
I pulled out Moonlight Blade and moved forward a little. "Clang!" The sword was stabbed into the ground again. Bing Cha glared at her boots and pulled out the spear with great effort. Then, she climbed my arm and took two steps forward with difficulty. She stabbed the spear into the stone ground again.
Just like that, the two of us moved forward at a turtle's pace.
In the interface, the breathing bar was starting to decrease. Once it disappeared, we would lose a certain amount of HP every second, and we could not bear this loss.
… …
In the party channel.
"Ah!
Oh my god, it's so … so spectacular … "Ling Xue exclaimed.
Qin Yun asked worriedly, "Scholar, where are you and Bing Cha?
Where are you two? Why aren't you talking? "
The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to talk. I pulled Bing Cha and crawled under the water, moving forward slowly.
Solitary Grave was shocked. "Damn!
No wonder the Scholar asked us to move to the hillside. It turns out that he still has this trick up his sleeves. Impressive, impressive. The younger generation will surpass the older in time … "
The Dragon Soul laughed. "Wow!
Flood the City of Dawn and kill the NPCs of the Fire Dragon Cavalry Legion. It would be best if you drown the players from Falling Flame City as well. Just leave an empty city for us. Hahaha! "
…
Under the water, Bing Cha whimpered, "Idiot, idiot, hurry up and grab my hand, not my leg, you … you're hurting me, idiot …"
Since I couldn't see things clearly, I could only rely on the coordinates to make a judgment. It was inevitable that I would make a mistake.
"Bing Cha, where is your hand?"
"You're touching along my leg … Ugh, what a waste …" Bing Cha complained.
After I found Iced Tea's hand, I stabbed my Moonlight Ice Blade into the ground. Once again, the two of us fought against the powerful currents as we advanced forward. It was fortunate that both of us were heavy-armored warriors who added Strength to our bodies. If it had been anyone else, they would have been sucked into the current long ago.
Not long after, our health started to drop by 1% every second!
Bing Cha drank a mouthful of blood. I gave her a Domain Shield, but it lasted less than a minute before it was washed away by the current. I could only rely on Holy Heal to recover my health.
The two of us struggled. Finally, a ray of light appeared in front of us. We had reached the shallow water region.
Two minutes later, we could vaguely see sunlight, and the water rippled above our heads.
"Hehe, we're here, we're here …"
I hugged Bing Cha and moved forward with difficulty. With a splash, I broke through the water and saw a grassy field in front of me.
… …
"Pa pa …"
The two of us fell heavily onto the grass. Iced Tea was still in my arms. She raised her head and looked at me. She couldn't help but smile, "Scholar, you look like a drowned chicken."
I nodded. "Thank you, Bing Cha."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for not saying that I look like a drowned dog."
"..."
The two of them sat up. At a glance, they were shocked. Sure enough, the maple forest had disappeared, leaving only a small area of red maple leaves on the water. The endless flood had engulfed the entire Dawn Canyon. At this time, the Dawn Canyon was like a freshwater lake.
Dawn City was isolated in the middle of the lake, and the water covered more than half of the city walls. Fortunately, it hadn't entered the city. Otherwise, Dawn City would have collapsed on its own.
In the water, countless players and NPCs were struggling. The warriors of the Flame Dragon Cavalry were still riding on their horses. The black horses stretched their necks to breathe, but because of the rapid currents, huge whirlpools were formed. In the end, the knights were sucked in one by one. The scene was too horrible to look at.
Tiny dots floated on the surface of the water. The millions of French players from Falling Flame City were submerged. They were all swimming, but swimming consumed stamina. When the players ran out of stamina, they would sink and drown.
It looked like the flood was coming from the top of the mountain and heading straight for Flame Mountain Range. In the end, it would fall downstream and gather at the Plains of Ice and Fire. However, this process would take at least an hour. There was no way these players could survive in the rapid river for an hour.
"What a sin, what a sin …" Iced Tea pounded his chest and sighed with pity.
I looked at her with disdain and said, "Can you not smile so brightly when you say that?"
"Hmph!"
Bing Cha glanced at me and continued to smile happily.
In the party channel, Qin Yun continued to ask, "Scholar, how are you guys?
Did you drown and drown... "
I laughed. "No, no, I struggled to get up. At least I once had the reputation of 'White Stripe in the Waves'. How could it be so easy to drown me?"
Qin Yun giggled. "Don't give me that, White Stripe in the Waves is Song Jiang!"
Ling Xue smiled. "Scholar, Bing Cha, it's good that you didn't die. We were worried!"
"Yes, what about you guys?
What's the situation? "
Ling Xue said, "Some people who just came online were drowned. Overall, our losses are negligible compared to Falling Flame City's army."
"Hahahaha!"
Lonely Grave was excited. He laughed and said, "Scholar, this is a beautiful job!
Once the water recedes, we will lead the army and take Dawn City! "
"Yes, of course!"
… …
A small dot flew out in the sky. It was Ling Yue's Dark Dragon. The Dark Dragon flew in the sky. Once it saw Falling Flame City NPCs or players on the water surface, it would immediately spit out dragon breath. This scene of beating a drowning enemy made everyone feel great.
I was inspired and also sent out Ling Er. The Phantom Maiden flew above the water surface, her blade flashing past and taking away countless struggling NPCs and players.
Dragon Soul said regretfully, "Unfortunately, Blacksmith doesn't have shipbuilding skills. Otherwise, we could send a dozen warships down and capture the French players who fell into the water. We could chop up the men and sell the women to the brothels. How great would that be..."
Judging Sky: "Yes, yes..."
I said in disdain, "Warships?
Why don't you say aircraft carriers? If we send one, the SU-37 will all take off and fire, killing even faster... "
Dragon Soul laughed. "I thought about it, but it looks like the water level isn't high enough."
… …
Iced Tea was a little impatient from waiting and summoned the White Tiger.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
Bing Cha said, "I heard that good warhorses don't fear water. They can tread on water like it's flat ground, so I'm giving it a try. What's wrong, Scholar? Is there something wrong?"
I smiled. "No, no. Go on, go on!"
Iced Tea got on the white tiger, whipped the reins, and rushed out.
Plop!
Both man and tiger fell into the water. Mount status disappeared, and Bing Cha climbed out, dripping wet. He said, "It looks like my mount isn't good enough..."
"Yes, yes!"
At this time, a French player came along the river. He looked exhausted, but he grabbed a tree root on the shore and refused to let go.
I quickly ran over and swung my sword.
"Pa!"
The tree root broke, and the player was washed away, disappearing into the current.
"You're so bad!" Bing Cha commented.
I pointed. "There's a bearded knight over there. He's coming ashore. Damn!"
"What?!"
Bing Cha shouted angrily and charged over with Breaking Dawn. He kicked the French player's chin and sent him flying. He fell into the water with a splash and was swallowed by a whirlpool. It looked like he was done for.
I glared at Bing Cha and didn't say a word.
Bing Cha chuckled and looked up at the sky. "Oh my, the weather is so good today!"
I sighed. I had met the wrong person!
… …
The lake water above the mountain finally stopped pouring after an hour. The water became gentle, and Dawn City was surrounded by water. On the city walls, many Dawn City players were pouring water out in buckets. The iron gates weren't sealed tight enough, so it was inevitable that water would seep through.
It looked like the ground would be dry again in less than half an hour. The canyon leading to the Plains of Ice and Fire flowed quickly.
I got up and summoned my Flame Warhorse. I smiled. "Bing Cha, prepare to counterattack!"
Bing Cha was leaning against a tree. When he heard me, he immediately rushed over with his spear and summoned his White Tiger. He was ready to use Charge.
The water receded faster than we expected. Patches of dry land appeared in the Valley of Dawn.
In the distance, a dense group of White Cloud City players came down from the mountainside. Under the leadership of Solitary Grave and the others, they were ready to charge. This was our chance to counterattack and take down Dawn City.
Very quickly, the floodwaters receded, leaving behind only soaked corpses. Some belonged to players, while others belonged to NPCs. Corpses littered every corner of the canyon.
The Flame Dragon Cavalry's flag was stuck in a puddle. A dozen knights' corpses lay beside it. The trump card army that had once swept everything was gone.
In the sky, Brave Heart raised her sword and rode on the back of a giant dragon. She didn't move and just stood there.
… …
"Charge!
Kill everything that stands in our way! "Dragon Soul waved his ghost blade and led the charge down the mountain!
The rumbling of the horses' hooves shook the earth. An entire group of cavalrymen charged down the mountain. The White Cloud City players were finally able to hold on for a long time. They finally had a precious opportunity to counterattack!
Bing Cha and I rushed down the mountain together. The ground was muddy, and there were a few French players who were still alive. However, they couldn't resist the charge of the China players at all. They were basically stomped into meat paste.
It didn't take long before we met up with the main force. Dragon Soul and Lonely Grave exclaimed in admiration at the magnificent feat of flooding Dawn City. Also, they assigned the guilds to surround the city from all four sides. In less than half an hour, we had formed an encirclement once more.
At this time, Judging Sky pointed at the black figure in the sky and said, "Why isn't Brave Heart attacking? Should we have our archers shoot her down?"
I shook my head and said, "It's no use. She's too high. She can't reach her."
But at this time, I saw Brave Heart's face. She was crying. Two streams of tears flowed down her beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with despair. She couldn't believe the reality in front of her. The mighty French army had been turned into dust by a flood. Four of the main trump card legions had been wiped out. How big of a loss was this for a main city?
Finally, Brave Heart looked at the ground with a murderous expression and shouted, "It's all your fault!"
As she said that, the two-headed black dragon let out a roar and glided down at a low altitude. From afar, a wave of sword energy exploded in the crowd of White Cloud City players. Dozens of players were instantly killed.
Soundless Rain shouted and shot a Stun Arrow from his longbow!
Thud!
It hit!
Brave Heart couldn't stop the giant dragon's charge and fell into the mud with it.
Dragon Soul pointed its blade and said, "Get her!"
A group of players rushed over. The archers' Stun Arrows attacked Brave Heart indiscriminately, and the Thunder Arrows slowly whittled away her health.
The fierce female Dragon Knight struggled to get up from the dragon's back, but she didn't expect a sword energy to attack her from behind!
"Dragon's Stab!"
"Bang!"
Brave Heart's body swayed, and a chunk of her health dropped. Behind her was a heavily-armored female warrior wielding a longsword. It was Bing Zhiyi, also a female Dragon Knight.
Then, Sword Fire Ghostflame raised his staff and a black dragon energy wave fell on Brave Heart.
Brave Heart stood still on the dragon's back with a resolute expression. Her body was blown away by the black dragon energy wave.
Dragon Soul let out a sigh of relief. "The reinforcements of Falling Flame City have finally been defeated."
… …
About ten minutes later, flags fluttered at the entrance of the canyon. Countless people surged in.
Ling Xue turned around and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Heh, the NPC army of White Cloud City is finally here!"
That's right, that was the flag of the Silver Cavalry Division. The trump card of White Cloud City had finally arrived!
