Early in the morning, the forest was shrouded in a thick layer of mist. At the edge of the forest outside the Clear Breeze City, the first rays of the morning sun were just beginning to rise and the large crystalline dewdrops on the leaves of the trees slowly slid down, pattering as they fell upon the grass.
Birds flew away in shock, and a large number of Snow Moon players from White Cloud City had gathered here. Countless silver moon emblems connected into one, making it look like a silver ocean.
A warhorse neighed as Dragon Soul spurred his black mount forward. After a sudden stop, he said solemnly, "Everything is ready. The Snow Moon Alliance and all its subguilds, a total of 54 guilds, and 2.97 million players will participate in this battle. Guild leader, is it time to give the order?"
I looked behind me and saw a vast army of players covering almost the entire plains. Their swords and armor were bright, and their banners were like an ocean. The sound of people and horses joined together. This time, the Snow Moon Alliance could be said to have sent out all of their elites for this expedition to Gale City!
The Snow Moon Alliance had 18 subguilds, the Eternal Spring And Autumn Dance had 11 subguilds, and the Melancholy of the World had 14 subguilds. Including Dream Of Snow Moon, Thousand Snow, and the other guilds, the Snow Moon Alliance was filled with talents. Their cheers were enough to turn Cool Breeze City upside down!
I looked at Ling Yue and asked, "Should we go?"
Ling Yue nodded. "Go!"
“ok！”
I urged my horse forward and came to the strongest point of the player camp. With a clang, I pulled out my sword and shouted, "Brothers, the ambush at Gale City has left us with blood. This time, our chance for revenge is here!
Follow me to Gale City and crush this despicable main city into dust! "
Everyone pulled out their swords and shouted, "Crush them into dust! Leave no one alive!"
I led the way and pulled Ling Yue up. Beside me, Ling Xue took Qin Yun, Bing Cha took Chrysanthemum Daohana, and the six main players of Xue Yue Studio took the lead!
Following our footsteps, the silver ocean started to move as well. It covered the mountains and plains as it marched from Clear Breeze City to Storm City with an unstoppable momentum!
…
Dragon Soul, Shadow Follower, Flying Fire, and the others rushed over, their faces brimming with excitement. We've been waiting for this day for a long time.
The Dragon Soul let the warhorse gallop forward while he took out a parchment map. After looking at it for a while, he turned around and said, "Scholar and Ling Yue, do you see the Sharp Howl Fortress between the Clear Breeze City and the Swift Wind City?
This is an NPC fortress. Won't it hinder our march? "
I nodded. "I did some research on the Howl Fortress last night. There are twenty thousand Level 255 elite NPC soldiers stationed there. They are the troops of Gale City. If there are no players stationed there, there is no way they can pose much of an obstacle to us."
The Shadow Follower replied: 「 I'm afraid they won't ignore this stronghold 」
"Why?"
"Last night, Melancholy led fifty thousand China assassins to Gale City. They did enter, but many of them were discovered and killed before they could log out of the game. In the end, less than forty thousand of them survived. Although the mission was completed, the Japanese players will definitely be alerted. Even if their brains are filled with shit, they will realize that the China server is about to attack. Those assassins are just testing the waters."
I smiled. "How about this? Wind, your movement speed is fast enough. Why don't you go scout the area?"
The Shadow Follower shook his head and laughed. "Nah, my speed is nothing compared to a certain person's. There should be someone else who can scout the area!"
"Oh?"
Understanding dawned on me. I smiled and shouted in the party channel, "Bing Zhiyi, come to the front!"
"Oh!"
A while later, the Silver Snow Dragon flew past us. Bing Zhiyi asked, "What is it, Scholar?"
I pointed at a red dot on the map and ordered, "Go to this point and see how many troops are stationed at Mount Sharp Howl. Report back once you know the result."
"Okay!"
The Silver Snow Dragon let out a clear roar and shot into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. This beautiful Dragon Knight was just too cool. Dragon Soul, Judging Sky, Flying Fire and the others looked up at the sky with drool dripping down their cheeks.
The Holy Giant Dragon was incredibly fast. In less than twenty minutes, Bing Zhiyi said in the party channel, "There are about ten thousand NPCs, but there are also a lot of Japanese players. Hmm, there are about a hundred thousand of them. Mount Sharp Howl is filled with people, and they seem to be waiting for the enemy to arrive."
"Look at Gale City. Are there more Japanese reinforcements?"
"Mn, yes!"
Bing Zhiyi's tone was slightly shocked. "There are a lot of them. In a few hours, they'll reach a million!"
"What should we do, Scholar?" Dragon Soul turned around and asked.
I thought for a moment before saying, "Send a group of Level 250 and above cavalry from Snow Moon Alliance, Eternal, World, Dream of Snow Moon, and Shanxue immediately. I'll be their commander, and we'll attack Mount Sharp Howl as fast as we can. We must take it in two hours!"
"Got it!"
Dragon Soul spurred his warhorse to the front of the camp and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, the Japanese have set up defenses in front of us!
Everyone, listen up! Warriors above Level 250, advance at full speed! Follow the direction of the Scholar and capture the Shrieking Fortress! "
I immediately urged my horse to gallop forward. At the same time, I released the light of my Scarlet Firmament Sword. Immediately, a blazing flame shot up into the sky. All of the Snow Moon players on the plains could see the symbolic light of the Earth God Weapon. They also knew the location of the guide.
Behind me, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky. A sea of melee players advanced at full speed, and smoke billowed into the air. Their horses neighed, and their banners fluttered in the wind, covering the sky.
Pure cavalry was several times faster than normal. On the world map, I could see a dense patch of green dots marching at high speed. It was an intimidating sight!
More than an hour later, a black fortress appeared in the distance. It was the legendary Mount Sharp Howl, a temporary city taken from the hands of the undead.
The Scream Fortress was filled with people. There were NPCs and players, but most of them were players. I hadn't turned on the translation software yet, so all I could see was a bunch of Japanese words. However, there were a lot of traditional Chinese words mixed in. I didn't know if this race's culture was inherited from China.
I turned around and saw that the ones closest to me were Ling Xue and Bing Tea. Both of their mounts were Boss-tier, so they were much faster than everyone else.
The fortress was in an uproar. A female Snow Silver Dragon Knight was wreaking havoc with her sword. Right now, Bing Zhiyi's Defense was so high that she could ignore all magic attacks. Every swing of her sword was like a blazing sword energy that swept away everything in its path. She had entered an invincible state.
The Sharp Howl Stronghold wasn't that big, so it was packed with people. It was like a human pyramid!
Bing Cha called out softly, "Scholar?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to use Emotion Skills?"
I glanced at the top of the fortress and nodded. "Yes!"
The so-called fortress was actually a wall. This wall separated two territories and was less than 200 yards thick. It was a classic example of one man holding the pass against ten thousand enemies.
I wonder if One Sword Piercing Dust can penetrate it?
Forget it, let's try. The more we kill, the fewer Snow Moon players behind us will die.
"Get ready, attack!"
The Blaze Warhorse neighed and stopped in front of the Mount Sharp Howl. One more step and we would enter the enemy archers' shooting range.
I canceled my mount and put down Ling Yue. Bing Cha also canceled his White Tiger and walked forward with the Jade Sea Sword. He said calmly, "If we slash the center of the fortress, we should be able to tear a big hole in it."
"Let's give it a try!"
I shouted. My body was covered in a layer of blue flames. My hair danced in the wind and turned indigo. My aura instantly became very cold.
Bing Cha exclaimed and retracted his gaze. He smiled and said, "Let's begin!"
At the same time, I used Emotion Skill.
A few seconds later. "Oh, it didn't work?" Bing Cha looked at me in shock.
I was slightly embarrassed. "Damn, I used it wrong. I used it on Qin Yun's Healing Arrow Rain..."
"You piece of trash, hurry up..."
I clicked again and activated Emotion Skill. My Scarlet Cloud Sword shone with a blue light while Bing Cha's Jade Sea Sword was covered in a layer of milky white.
On the wall of the fortress opposite, a group of Japanese players was stunned. They shouted, "Damn it!
These two are using the Affection Skill. Get ready, Paladins, shield up and go to the front!
Damn it, you stupid pigs! "
In an instant, Iced Tea pressed down heavily on the longsword. A soaring Sword Qi spewed out from the Jade Sea Sword, falling along with Iced Tea's sword momentum!
"Bang!"
Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow, One Strike Leaves the Dust!
In front of our eyes, the so-called Iron Wall was cut open like tofu. The densely packed crowd had no way to dodge. White light filled the air, and countless health potions and equipment dropped. Moreover, the stones of the fortress were shattered, and the rubble fell with the players. The deep ravine created by the sword energy was like a bottomless pit that buried everything.
"Go!"
I charged forward and didn't forget to release Ling'er into the crowd.
Behind me, Ling Xue and Bing Cha came running. They were unstoppable.
The Japanese players on the city wall couldn't believe that we dared to attack the city with just a few people. But when they saw the rolling dust in the distance, they realized that the players of the China server were attacking Holy Helm City and Gale City at the same time!
Boom!
As the Divine Dragon Slash descended, none of the players in its path were spared. The rookies' bodies were torn to shreds by the cyclone, which then turned into white light.
Amidst the chaos, Ling Xue charged into the crowd and fired an Ice Whirlwind Sword. Then, she followed up with a Profound Ice Sword Energy and killed countless players!
"Kill her!
Kill this girl! "
A couple of heavy-armored swordsmen pounced forward, their swords turning blood-red.
Ling Xue laughed softly and summoned a shield. Clang clang clang! She blocked all the attacks!
“197！”
“122！”
“86！”
A string of damage numbers flew up. The Swordsman players' expressions were extremely strange. It was as if they had seen a ghost. They looked at their own swords, then at Ling Xue's armor. Suddenly, they seemed to understand something.
They couldn't break through her Defense at all, and that bit of damage wasn't even enough for Ling Xue to recover!
Right now, Ling Xue's Defense was higher than mine. She was a standard S3 warrior with godly equipment. These noobs couldn't beat her!
I swung my sword horizontally, and two more swordsmen came to my doorstep. A deep cut appeared on their chests, and they knelt on the ground and died.
Behind me, Bing Cha abruptly stomped the ground and spat out a bolt of lightning. The Japanese players around him spasmed like they were having convulsions.
Bang bang bang!
Three consecutive fireballs hit Bing Cha, and he lost almost half of his health. A Japanese female mage appeared in the distance, and she was a Blaze Mage. She wore a fiery red robe, and it was none other than the Zhurong Cloth Armor Set. She was also a S1 godly mage!
I turned around and threw a Domain Shield to protect Bing Cha. At the same time, I dashed forward!
Wild Charge!
Swhoosh!
I suddenly appeared in front of the godly mage and swung my sword!
Peng peng peng peng peng!
The Scarlet Heaven Sword refracted five fiery red sword auras. The first two attacks of the Total Annihilation tore the opponent's magic shield in an instant, and the remaining three sword attacks smoothly finished her off. The attacks that were accompanied by cyclones were simply not something a small Mage like her could withstand.
Whoosh!
The mage actually dropped a pair of fiery red magic boots when she died. I picked them up and looked at them.
Oh, it's the Zhurong Magic Boots. Their stats are pretty good, and they can be bound. This pitiful girl even dropped them. How pitiful. Who told her to run into one of the three Holy Domain players in the China server!
Bing Cha swung his sword wildly, and only then did he realize that he was surrounded. He hurriedly shouted, "Help?!"
Ling Xue smiled and opened her hand, shouting, "Icy Whirlwind!"
An icy whirlwind surged around Bing Cha, killing countless warriors. Bing Cha was finally able to escape. He hurriedly drank a health potion, raised his sword, and continued to attack.
At this time, Ling Yue and Chrysanthemum Daohana also began to attack. Ice Whirlwind was invincible, and anyone who came into contact with it would lose their balance and be unable to use any skills. Chrysanthemum Daohana used Soul Star Shower to create a minefield so that the enemy wouldn't dare to take even half a step forward.
Qin Yun kept healing from the side, keeping Ling Yue and Chrysanthemum Daohana at full health.
Finally, Dark Shadow Drifter, Dragon Soul, and the others arrived with the main force. In an instant, they charged into the fortress. This group of people was incomparably brave, and all of them were Level 255. Their equipment was also quite amazing. This left the Japanese players speechless. Could it be that they had encountered the main force of China?
Didn't they go to attack Holy Helm City?
Why did they come after us instead of the Americans?
The situation was completely one-sided. The Japanese players defending the fortress couldn't be considered elites, and there were even noobs below Level 200. Their numbers were good, but their quality was questionable. In the face of the elites of Snow Moon, there was nothing they could do but wait to be cut down.
I deactivated my transformation and stood quietly on top of the fortress.
I waved my arm and flooded the three-kilometer-long fortress with Snow Moon players. The giant hole that One Sword Leaves in the Dust created was a pain in the hearts of the Japanese players, and they couldn't even block it!
… …
An hour or so later, more than half of Storm City's players were forced back to the city, and the rest were killed. The fortress was now ours.
At the foot of the city, the Dragon Soul's troops were organizing their troops. The morale of the Xue Yue Country's troops was as high as a rainbow. Swords and sabers were raised high in the sky and banners were flying in the air. Everyone's faces were flushed red and filled with killing intent.
Dragon Soul pointed at the Storm City deserters and asked, "Scholar, should we chase them down and kill them all?"
I shook my head. "No need. Let's wait and meet up with the main force first."
"Okay!"
… …
That afternoon, the entire Storm City was in a state of panic. The influx of China players had angered the natives of the city.
