Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Giant boulders flew through the air and smashed into the walls of Gale City in a parabola. The players who were hit were covered in blood. Even the giant shields could not withstand the impact.
The Sword Fire Dragon Soul stood at the bottom of the city with a long sword in hand and shouted, "Block the attacks! Don't even take a step back! If anyone dares to take a step back, I will curse his d * ck to be as depressed as the property market!"
A dense rain of arrows fell from the walls and bounced off the iron shields, creating countless sparks. The players without shields could only use their bodies to block the arrows.
Pu pu pu!
Blood sprayed into the air. A couple of mages who were too close to the front were torn apart by the arrows and collapsed to the ground.
In the air, Bing Zhiyi urged his Snow Silver Dragon to close in. His sword swept horizontally and cut off a section of the arrow mound on the walls. The Gale City players who were hit were also torn to pieces.
Unfortunately, the players on the walls were also very vigilant. The moment Bing Zhiyi got close, he attracted a dense rain of arrows. Bing Zhiyi's equipment was not even godlike, so he could not tank the arrows head-on even with his dragon. After a few volleys of arrows, his health was low and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat. This was probably one of the reasons why we could not take down the city!
The Shadow Follower swung his sword a few times and said angrily, "Where are the scaling ladders?
Why can't they be set up? What are the siege troops doing? "
A Snow Moon player explained, "Every time the scaling ladders are set up, their mages use Fireball to ignite them. These Japanese players are too smart."
The Shadow Follower was speechless and continued to attack the walls.
At this time, two Gale City players suddenly stood side by side on the walls. Two rays of cyan and purple light shot into the sky. It was the prelude to a Affection Skill!
Ling Xue pulled out her sword and shouted, "Everyone, watch out! Affection Skill!"
But it was too late. The ground suddenly split open, and many Snow Moon players in front of us fell in. They screamed in pain. After the earth split, a flood rushed in. One Affection Skill killed at least a thousand Snow Moon players!
"Fuck!" I gritted my teeth and shouted, "Where is the Magic Cube of Fate?
Get rid of that Affection Mage! "
Not too far away, Nie Yan raised the Magic Cube of Fate and a cold light shot out. The mage on the city wall fell to the ground, not missing a single shot. A Storm Arrow instantly killed his opponent.
Ling Yue said in a low voice, "Scholar, this won't do. Order people to continue setting up the ladder in front of us. Ling Xue and I will use our Emotion Skill to cover them!"
"Alright!"
Under the protection of the knights, a group of craftsmen approached the city walls. Under my command, dozens of scaling ladders were raised.
At the same time, Ling Xue and Ling Yue had already unleashed their Overwhelming Frost and Fire skill!
"Boom boom boom!"
The walls trembled as massive fireballs bombarded the walls, leaving black marks on the walls. Icicles also flew up from the ground. Although the icicles could not destroy the walls, they were more than enough to kill any player on the walls.
A round of Ablaze Ice and Fire actually opened up a 200-meter wide vacuum zone on the city wall, allowing Snow Moon's dozen scaling ladders to be successfully erected!
Clang!
I unsheathed my sword and strode forward, grabbing the scaling ladder with one hand. When I reached the top of the city wall, the Storm City players had just climbed up the stairs. They immediately unsheathed their swords and charged me!
"Heh, come!"
I smiled and stepped forward, my body still covered in a layer of blue flames.
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
Long sword energy sprayed out and a cyclone of energy surged. The dozens of people at the front all fell into pools of blood.
Below the city wall, the Shadow Follower raised his sword and shouted, "What are you waiting for?
Go, let's charge in together with Scholar! "
A dozen or so of Snow Moon's first-rate experts flew up the city wall. With reinforcements, the pressure on me was greatly reduced. At the very least, I did not have to worry about my retreat being cut off.
Judging Sky swung his Titan Hammer and let out a roar. He was like a whirlwind blade that swept into the crowd, creating a rain of blood everywhere he went.
Dragon Soul gripped his sword and calmly stepped forward. Every time someone tried to attack him, there was a flash of sword light, and that person fell to their knees. Dragon Soul's expression was still calm. I didn't know if he was pretending or if he really did have the demeanor of an expert.
Inside the city, the crowd was bustling with activity. Most of them were archers and mages. A guild leader shouted, "We cannot let them occupy the city wall! Use Stun Arrows and kill them all! Hurry!"
Suddenly, streaks of cold light whistled through the air like a dense meteor shower. The Swordfire Guardian and Great Swordsman were intercepted, and with two muffled groans, their HP dropped to zero.
I hurriedly used Sky Barrier to temporarily save their lives. Threads of blue light spread around us, but they did no damage to players. All they did was nullify the enemy's attacks.
It was at this moment a cannon exploded in the distance. Purple light flashed, and Thousand Miles of Mountains was blasted off the city wall. A damage of more than 400k appeared above his head. He had been one-shot.
"Fuck!
It's a Magic Crystal Cannon!
Fuck, there are Magic Crystal Cannons in this city! "Dragon Soul shouted hysterically." Charge into the city and destroy the Magic Crystal Cannon first! "
I raised my hand and shouted, "Dragon Soul, don't be rash!
All of you stay on the city wall and leave the Magic Crystal Cannon to me! "
"Okay!"
These people knew their limits. Even if they charged into the crowd, they probably wouldn't be able to do any damage to the Magic Crystal Cannon. Instead, they would be shot down by the densely packed Storm City defenders. If that happened, they would have to return to White Cloud City and never step into Storm City again.
I took a few steps back and raised my Scarlet Heaven Sword. A magic formation lit up the city wall, and a moment later, a fiery dragon roared out of it!
There was no point in holding back now. I summoned Blazing Dragon and destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon first. This Magic Crystal Cannon's Attack was so high that it could be described as an OP killer. I didn't want the Shadow Follower, Melancholy, Dragon Soul and the others to die in this battle. If they dropped to Level 254, they would lose the chance to enter the Holy Realm in the Nation War.
Of course, that chance was ridiculously low to begin with.
I summoned the fiery dragon and flew into the city with 3 million HP. Bing Zhiyi asked to come with me, but I refused. Her Defense wasn't good enough, and she couldn't withstand the attacks of the Magic Crystal Cannon at all. Who knew how many Magic Crystal Cannon Cannons there were in Storm City? As a Rank 1 city, there should be at least 4!
I flew high up into the sky, avoiding the players' attacks. When I looked down, the ground looked so small. Fast Wind City was surrounded by a sea of black. It was obvious that Xue Yue had surrounded the city. In the distance, the Southern County and the Northern County were also fighting fiercely. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to determine the victor anytime soon.
Suddenly, I shuddered. I was hit by something, and I didn't need to think to know that it was the Magic Crystal Cannon!
“172393！”
Heh, it's only 170000 HP. What do I have to fear?
I dove down and found the nearest Magic Crystal Cannon. This time, my attack was very simple. After I transformed, I used Divine Dragon Slash!
Swhoosh!
Divine Dragon Slash's sword energy was lengthened by the cyclone, and it swept across the Magic Crystal Cannon. It shook violently and lost hundreds of thousands of HP!
At the same time, there were four Magic Crystal Cannons firing at me. Each shot dealt less than 200k damage, and the cooldown was 5 seconds!
"Holy Healing Skill!"
The Holy Healing Skill healed me for more than a million HP, and I continued to attack!
I swung my sword several times, and finally, the Magic Crystal Cannon shattered. The magic crystal turned to dust as well. I had successfully destroyed a Magic Crystal Cannon!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon (South). Reward: Level + 1, Luck + 1, Max HP + 2000 permanently!
… …
Hehe!
The reward was pretty good. Leveling up was too easy!
While I was laughing, my body shook violently. I had been hit four more times, and my HP had dropped below half. I couldn't continue like this!
I hurriedly rose into the air and activated Shadow Escape!
Just as I had expected, I disappeared into the void along with my dragon. The magic crystal cannons lost their aggro targets, and the next round of cannons became duds.
Needless to say, I had to find the other four Magic Crystal Cannon in at least two hours. Otherwise, this city would be difficult to break, and the Snow Moon subguilds in the south and north wouldn't be able to hold out for long. It was unrealistic to trap millions of people in the city with hundreds of thousands of people. It was already amazing that they had lasted for four or five hours.
As I flew, I chugged health potions. Sadly, I realized that even after chugging multiple health potions, my health bar was still so long. I was speechless. I could only use [Holy Heal]. [Lightning Holy Heal] and [Shadow Escape] could completely avoid the attacks of the Magic Crystal Cannons. This made me very happy. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to fight against the attacks of the Magic Crystal Cannons. Even if I had the Fire Dragon, it would be difficult.
Wandering around, Scarlet Heaven Sword's divine might was matchless, and system announcements echoed above the main city —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon (Middle). Reward: Level + 1, Luck + 1, Max HP + 2000 permanently!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon (East). Reward: Level + 1, Luck + 1, Max HP + 2000 permanently!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon (North). Reward: Level + 1, Luck + 1, Max HP + 2000 permanently!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has destroyed the Magic Crystal Cannon (West). Reward: Level + 1, Luck + 1, Max HP + 2000 permanently!
… …
I was overjoyed. I leveled up 5 times in one go and gained 5 points of Luck. I've hit the jackpot!
Of course, this was all built on Gale City's suffering. Who knew how many virtual resources they had spent to obtain a Magic Crystal Cannon? This Magic Crystal Cannon was like a modern aircraft carrier. It was a powerful deterrent and very expensive. Only the rich could afford to play with it.
When I flew back to the Snow Moon camp, Dragon Soul was already laughing on the city walls. "Very good!
You can rest now, Scholar. We can still fight for a while without the Magic Crystal Cannons! "
Of course I didn't dare rest. Fire Dragon still had 80 minutes left, so I had to kill as many people as I could during this time!
Flame Ling Tian's Scarlet Heaven Sword left a fiery red mark on the ground. The Gale City players who were hit screamed in pain. Except for some of the stronger heavy-armor players, no one was able to escape.
My main goal was to roam around the city and clear out as many Japanese players as possible. It would be of great benefit to us when we broke into the city later.
Below the city walls, Ling Xue was alone at the city gates. She swung the Blade of Snow Domain and smashed it repeatedly. Clang clang clang clang! It was an extremely barbaric sight.
The attacks from the players in the city could not deal much damage to Ling Xue. The S3 godly equipment was a defensive equipment set, and it had the Soul Armor Aura attribute, which made all the Japanese players want to cry but have no tears.
Still, someone had to come and rub the tiger's butt.
A couple of heavy-armor swordsmen rushed up the city walls. They didn't attack Dragon Soul and the others, but jumped down the city walls and rolled all the way to Ling Xue's skirt armor. They didn't have much HP left.
Ling Xue ignored them and continued to attack the city gates. The Japanese players swung their swords at her!
Clang clang clang!
Sparks flew off Ling Xue's shoulder armor, and a couple of even more devastating damage numbers flew up —
“735！”
“1024！”
“922！”
The Japanese players immediately fell into despair. They wanted to commit suicide on the spot, but Ling Yue didn't give them the chance. She took both Ice Whirlpools and earned a lot of Nation War points.
The siege was in full swing. If the city walls weren't strong, we would've fallen a long time ago.
Just as everyone was hesitating, someone suddenly shouted, "F * ck!
Look, a bunch of Japanese players have appeared in the north! "
"What is it?"
I hurriedly urged the Fire Dragon into the air. Only then did I realize that the situation was dire. The guilds that Snow Moon had stationed in the Northern County had fallen. The Japanese players in the Northern County had broken through the encirclement and were coming to reinforce the main city!
Dragon's Soul gnashed his teeth in hatred. He swung his sword and shouted, "Flurry of Spring and Autumn, Great Sword Master, the two of you will lead the World and Eternal guilds and their subguilds to intercept these people. Prevent them from taking even half a step closer to Swift Gale City!"
"Yes!"
Two warriors jumped down the city walls, waved their arms, and took nearly half of the players with them.
No, we have to break the city gates first. Otherwise, all our efforts will be for nothing!
The Fire Dragon roared past, and I was already floating behind Ling Xue. I shouted, "Xiao Xue, move, I'll open the gate!"
"Oh, oh …"
Ling Xue retreated again and again. I entered my transformation state again and swung my Scarlet Heaven Sword!
"Total Annihilation!"
The five sword beams struck the city gate one after another, causing significant damage. The city gate's durability also plummeted.
Ling Xue smiled. "As expected, you killed them much faster than me!"
"Of course!"
Less than five minutes later, the thick and huge iron gate collapsed. More than half of the Gale City players behind the gate were crushed to death.
I pointed my sword at the city and ordered, "Charge in, fight in the alleys!"
The cavalry of the Xue Yue Country, who had been prepared for a long time, charged into the city. They pulled out their long swords and started slashing at both sides of the city as if there was no one around. Even the arrows of the archers in the city were ignored. The west gate had the absolute advantage in numbers.
… …
In the distant forest, another shocking battle was taking place. Millions of players from both sides were fighting in the wild forest. Blood soaked their battle robes, but neither side had any regrets.
