At dawn, the sun turned into a sea of blood and shone on the tall walls of Gale City. Swords and swords were as thick as a forest, and rows of archers were waiting in formation. It was clear that they had been prepared for our ambush.
However, Snow Moon's diversionary tactic still worked. More than half of Gale City's players were stuck in the two tier 2 cities, the South County and the North County. We also sent a third of our forces to guard the gates of the two cities. No matter how hard the enemy tried to break through, they wouldn't be able to do so in a short time.
Melancholy's battle report came from the party channel —
"The north gate's teleportation formation has been destroyed!"
"The south gate's teleportation formation has been destroyed!"
"The central plaza's teleportation formation has been destroyed!"
"The west gate's teleportation formation has been destroyed!"
A long time later, I heard it again —
"The last one, the east gate's teleportation formation has been destroyed!"
… …
Dragon's Soul laughed. "Good!
You've done well, Little Crazy. How many of our Snow Moon assassins are left in the city? Get ready to open the gates, right? "
Melancholy said solemnly, "Including me, there are a hundred or so of them. What's there to support? They'll all be dead in a few minutes!"
"Fuck!"
It looked like Snow Moon wouldn't be able to hold back any of their fifty thousand assassins.
We stood under the pine tree. Dragon's Soul asked, "What do we do?
Are we going to attack now and surround the city? "
"Wait, let's see Bing Zhiyi's news."
"Mn."
A while later, there was a clear dragon roar, and Bing Zhiyi appeared in the sky. He said in the party channel, "Scholar, there are almost three million people in the city. That's quite a lot!
Also, I saw a couple of NPC armies appear on the grassy plains to the south of Gale City. They should be the NPC army that Gale City had stationed outside. They're moving over!
They'll be here to reinforce Gale City in half an hour. "
I asked, "Which side of the city wall is the weakest?"
Bing Zhiyi said, "They're all strong, and they're evenly distributed!"
I gritted my teeth. "Pass down my order!
Snow Moon, World, Eternal, and other elites will attack the west wall. Send a couple of subguilds to the other gates to distract the enemy! "
"Alright!"
The Dragon Soul nodded and asked, "But Scholar, won't the main guild join the battle?"
"Of course!"
I abruptly unsheathed my longsword and shouted, "Snow Moon Alliance, follow me to the south! Let's kill the enemy NPC army in the canyon marked by a red dot on the map before they reach the city!"
"Red dot?"
Ling Yue frowned. "Scholar, what do you mean?"
I smiled. "Why is Storm City's army stationed outside the city?
That's because there's an Icy Grave Fortress of the Army of Darkness less than two hours away from Storm City! "
Ling Yue understood. "Okay, let's start!"
…
I turned around and shot Bing Zhiyi a glance before waving my hand. The beautiful Dragon Knight immediately descended to the ground and jumped off her dragon's back. I asked, "What's wrong?"
"Beauty Yiyi."
I placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the attack on Gale City. The two million players here will listen to your every command. I hope you won't disappoint us and take down the city gates as soon as possible!
The main guild will head south to intercept the NPC army and buy as much time as possible for you. "
Bing Zhiyi was slightly surprised. "The main guild only has a hundred thousand players, but there are three main NPC armies over there. There's no way the main guild can hold them off …"
I smiled. "That's why you need to stay here. The Snow Silver Dragon's stats are high, so try to take down the city gates in two hours!"
"Mn, alright!"
Bing Zhiyi jumped onto the dragon's back and flew into the air.
I also gave an order in the guild channel. Then, I led the main guild of Snow Moon toward the south. At the same time, dozens of Snow Moon guilds that had been hiding in the forest charged out and surrounded the western side of Gale City. The Japanese players on the city walls were so shocked that their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Aren't they attacking the south and north counties?
Why are they here?
Why? "
"Goddammit, tell everyone to return to the city!"
"It's too late!
The city return stone was just destroyed, so the magic can't be transferred to the city return scrolls! "
"Damn it!"
… …
The attack had begun, but this wasn't our battlefield just yet.
The Snow Moon Alliance passed through the green forest alone. When we entered the plains, we saw a large number of NPC armies in the distance. Their IDs were all red.
Dragon Soul shouted in shock, "Fuck!
That's … the flag of Storm City's Night Sky Cavalry. Very good, we've run into the three great cavalry armies. Scholar, what do we do? "
"What else can we do?
When enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins! "
I pulled out my Scarlet Heaven Sword with a "Keng" and shouted, "Attack with me!
These NPCs are just Level 255 elites. We can take on ten of them at once, so there's no need to fear them! "
Everyone unsheathed their weapons and the sound of metal being unsheathed filled the air.
Dragon Soul swung his sword and shouted, "Attack!"
On the wide plains, the frontline of Snow Moon's melee players spread out in a single line. Their warhorses galloped, and their battle cries shook the heavens. The charging troops left a long trail of dust behind them, and the rumbling of their hooves sounded like the drums of the apocalypse.
The two sides got closer and closer. The Night Sky Cavalry were all equipped with black war armor and wielding sharp blades. The only parts of their bodies that were exposed were the eyes at the front of their helmets and the gap between the helmet and the breastplate. The armor was of high quality, but it couldn't cover everything.
At the front of the army, an NPC wearing blue battle armor held a battle axe that was flickering with flames. His voice was as loud as a bell as he shouted, "Soldiers, hold your swords tightly! Let your enemies have a taste of being beheaded!"
Dragon Soul gritted his teeth and said, "Scholar, this is a Level 255 miniboss. You want to try?"
"Of course!"
I charged forward, my body covered in a layer of blue flames. I raised my Scarlet Heaven Sword high in the air, and streams of energy pulsed on the blade.
With my increased speed, I had already left the party. I charged into the NPC army alone, my sword pointed straight at the blue-armored Quasi-Boss General.
"Rising Dragon Strike!"
In an instant, a giant green dragon charged out. The giant dragon's body was surrounded by streams of energy, and its attack power was greatly increased!
The miniboss groaned in pain as the energy of Rising Dragon Strike ravaged it. One after another, high damage numbers flew up —
“523732！”
“534949！”
“624957！”
… …
Clearly, this miniboss only had less than 10,000,000 HP. After this round of crazy attacks, he had less than a third of his HP left.
"Damn it, why does White Cloud City have such a powerful adventurer?"
The Xiao General roared in anger as he brandished his battle axe and charged forward!
Preemptive strike, Wild Charge!
My body flew out like an arrow, and I was prepared to stun the boss on the spot.
Scarlet Heaven Sword let out a low roar, and I swung out Total Annihilation + Shield Break Slash!
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The boss's body shook violently as he took a few hits. He had lost almost a million HP. In the end, it was a miniboss, and it was far weaker than a real boss.
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
A powerful force suddenly surged into my arm. This force came from Scarlet Heaven Sword. This was — a critical hit with 10 times the normal damage!
“4247740！”
A terrifying damage number flew up from the Boss's head. He howled in agony as he fell off his horse. He had already become an ice-cold corpse.
Dragon Soul and the others rushed forward at this time, and they were immediately excited. They laughed and said, "Boss-level NPCs are only so-so. Brothers, let's go. We have the number one expert in the Holy Realm, why should we be afraid of this small NPC army?"
The Snow Moon players roared angrily. I had achieved my goal, which was to kill a second-rate boss in one go to boost morale!
This pitiful NPC deputy general didn't even have a chance to fight back before he was killed. I only wasted a small skill that had a two-hour cooldown, and I still had Blade Storm to use!
Ling Xue and Ling Yue charged together. The two sisters cooperated perfectly. Ling Yue got off her horse at the right time, and used Polar Ice to freeze a large group of monsters. Ling Xue charged into the crowd and slashed randomly. S3 warriors were so sharp that these NPCs couldn't break through her defense at all.
Sword light flashed, and Shadow Follower, Flying Fire, Dragon Soul, Xing Tian, Great Swordsman, and the other fierce generals of Snow Moon formed an offensive blade. They easily tore through the Night Sky Cavalry's defense, and led a hundred thousand Snow Moon players straight into the heart of the NPC army.
I was at the front, and Ling'Er covered in the air. From time to time, a meteor storm would fall, smashing the NPC soldiers.
The breeze on the entire plain was filled with the smell of blood. The sound of blades tearing bodies rose and fell, and screams filled the entire plain. The heavy shields of the night sky cavalry were shattered one by one, and the blood of their owners fell on the grass, gradually turning cold. The broken flags were trampled into the soil, and it was impossible to tell which side they belonged to.
The Snow Moon Alliance army was like a sharp blade. They charged back and forth, turning the Night Sky Cavalry into countless pieces. Then, they killed them all, killing enemies several times their size!
"Those with low HP, retreat. The priests behind you will restore your HP back to full!"
The Dragon Soul spat and shouted, "Don't try to be a hero. You're still going to attack Gale City even if you're alive. It's not worth it to die here!"
This way, the casualties of Snow Moon were reduced to the minimum.
More than an hour later, I stood on a cold boulder and gazed into the distance. The Night Sky Cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and almost all of them were killed.
A beautiful figure appeared in the crowd.
Ling Xue walked over with her sword in hand. The Snow Domain Blade was covered in blood, and even her battle robe was stained with it. However, she did not care. She held the sword in one hand, and in the other, she held something dripping with blood.
Thud!
The object was thrown to the ground. It was a human head. He had a big beard, and his face was full of meat.
"Who is this?"
"The commander of the Night Sky Cavalry. I forgot his name.
I wonder if this thing can be used to claim rewards? "Ling Xue smiled faintly.
I bent down and picked up the head.
Holder's Head: Quality: 10
"I don't know if it's useful or not. It looks like it's useless. Otherwise, it would show the bounty or something," I said.
Ling Xue was slightly disappointed. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "So it's like that. Me, Sister Qin Yun, Xiangxiang, Summer, and Silent Rain took ten minutes to kill it. I didn't expect to not get any rewards."
"Isn't there a Nation War point reward?
The more points you get, the higher the chance you get to enter the Holy Domain. "
Ling Xue spread her hands and smiled. "I wouldn't dare to ask for more."
I turned around and sent a message to Dragon Soul, telling him to continue reorganizing everyone and prepare for the next battle. In this place, we didn't have any time to rest.
I killed almost five hundred thousand Night Sky Cavalry in a little over an hour. This was a great feat. In ancient times, it would take a month to kill hundreds of thousands of people. But now, killing was not so troublesome. For example, Ling Yue could kill a group of people with a single spell. Therefore, the killing speed was very fast!
"Xiao Xue, there is a canyon in front of us. The main force of Gale City is there. Do you want to go scout with me?" I invited her warmly.
Ling Xue nodded. "Yes."
I summoned the Flame Warhorse. Ling Xue was too lazy to summon the Snow Feather Pegasus. I pulled her in front of me and hugged her beautiful girlfriend. The life of a scout was wonderful.
The terrain was uneven. The Inferno Warhorse neighed as it jumped up and down. Ling Xue turned around and hugged me tightly.
"What's wrong?"
I asked softly when I sensed that Ling Xue's emotions were a little off.
Ling Xue shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just that I haven't seen Bing Cha in a long time. We only met each other in the game."
"She'll come back."
"I know."
Ling Xue's delicate shoulders trembled slightly. Suddenly, she said —
"How long has it been since you hugged me?"
… …
"I …"
I felt really guilty. It was true that I had been busy with the Nation War and leveling up other than Bing Cha. I hadn't paid enough attention to Ling Xue.
"I'm sorry."
I canceled the Flame Warhorse and sat down on the side of the road with Ling Xue in my arms. I said with a smile, "Let's wait until the Nation War is over!
I swear I won't go online for three days. I'll stay with you for three days, okay? "
Ling Xue stared at me with eyes full of joy. She burst into a laugh. "Dummy, aren't you going to reach Level 200 to use the Nine Heavens Dark Tower?
I just want you to stay with me for one day. "
"Okay, after the Nation War is over, I'll stay with you for an entire day. Please ignore everything else!"
"Mn!"
At this time, we had already entered the valley. In front of us was a vast plain. Colorful flags covered the valley. This was the encampment of the other two armies of Cyclone City.
"Look, they're forming up!"
That's right, a large number of cavalry and infantry were forming up on the right side of the encampment. The messengers were galloping at the edge of the encampment. These were millions of elite soldiers!
The encampment stretched for hundreds of miles, and I couldn't see the end of it at all. The only thing I could see on the big map was a patch of red.
… …
At this time, Dragon Soul asked in the party channel, "Scholar, how are you doing?"
"Not good. What about outside?
How many people did we lose in the battle just now? "
Dragon Soul sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, "It's not a big loss. We still have more than seventy thousand people, and we lost less than thirty thousand."
"Fuck!"
I gritted my teeth. At this rate, there was no way we could fight against the two main armies at the bottom of the valley. Even if we won, there wouldn't be many who could return alive.
"Scholar, let's go west."
"West?"
"Yes, west!
Since we can't attack by force, let's attract a calamity and give Cyclone City a big present! "
I flipped open the map, and my eyes lit up. To the west of us was none other than the Army of Darkness —
Ice Tomb Stronghold!
