"You guys are here!"
Very Cute Very Easy smiled as she raised her longbow and urged her horse forward. She then said with a smile: "Our friends from Xue Yue, Flowing Like Water and the Rain Admiration Pavilion have all come to help. Looks like the recapture of the Clear Breeze City is almost a done deal!"
Ling Yue smiled. "How have you been these days, Beauty Meng?"
Very Cute Very Easy's face darkened and she said, "Life has been so precarious. What's so good about it? Ever since Battle Soul came back, there hasn't been a moment of peace. In the past, Brotherhood's opponents were just too weak. Now that such a strong one has come, we are starting to lose..."
As she said that, she looked at me and smiled, "Scholar, don't you have anything to say?"
I smiled, "That's up to you. Since you can't protect Brotherhood's position as the overlord of Cool Breeze City, then let's settle for the next best thing. Let's divide the world equally!"
"Oh?
Really? "
"Decide for yourself..."
"Haha!"
Very Cute Very Easy laughed and turned her horse around. In the distance, Amorous Thousand Kinds and A Dust Speck were waiting to meet up. Brotherhood's strength was still there, covering the mountains and plains.
In fact, if the Brotherhood wanted to compete with the Battle Souls, there was a way, and that was to fight for the forest as much as possible. The Battle Souls only relied on the Sword Fire Cavalry and the Cloud Leopard Cavalry. These troops were known to be invincible on the plains, but once they entered the forest, they would be useless. The forest was the world of archers, infantry, and mages.
Not long later, Ling Yue pushed my arm and pointed to the right. She said, "Look who's here..."
I turned around and realized that it was Battle Soul's people. Lin Shuang was dressed in silver armor and walking at the front. Dragon Soul and Xing Tian walked on either side of Lin Shuang. Ghost Zhi, Battle Soul Ao Tian, Battle Soul Tie Yi, Battle Soul Feng Liu and the others were in the second row.
"Sister Qin Yun, where is Sister Qin Yun..." Ling Yue stretched her neck to look and said with disappointment.
And at that moment, Lin Shuang and her companions had already come forward to stop their horses. Lin Shuang took off her helmet and her hair cascaded down her shoulders like water. She smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks to our friends from the Snow Moon for coming to reinforce the Clear Breeze City!"
I nodded. "You're welcome. It's my duty."
Dragon Soul walked forward and said, "Scholar, how have you been these days?"
I immediately asked, "Qin Yun!
Where is she? "
Dragon Soul was stunned and shook his head. "I don't know. Zi Yun 'er doesn't live with us."
I looked at Lin Shuang and said, "You took her away. Don't you know where she is?"
Lin Shuang sighed and raised her head to look at me with dissatisfaction in her eyes. "What's the point of asking me all this now? When Yun'er was crying, when she was crying, where were you?
Will she be happy if she stays with you?
I want to leave her alone for a while. Maybe after a few days, her wounds will heal. It won't be too late for you to look for her then. "
"Wounds heal?" I frowned. "Then will she still recognize me?"
Lin Shuang snorted. "It's best if she doesn't remember you. Let me tell you, you heartless little thing, if you dare to hurt Yun'er again, I won't let you off!
Don't, don't provoke her wounds. "
I was a little excited and pulled out my Scarlet Heaven Sword!
Lin Shuang immediately raised her sword and shouted, "What do you want?"
I smiled coldly. "I just want to ask, how will we distribute the troops?
Snow Moon will provide 500,000 troops and all kinds of siege equipment. We can help attack one gate, but we won't be the main force. "
"Oh?"
Lin Shuang laughed. "If that's the case, that's good. Snow Moon will help the Brotherhood attack the west gate!"
"En!"
Lin Shuang sighed and looked deeply at me. Her eyes were filled with confusion. In the end, she turned around and left, saying, "If you really love her, don't hurt her again."
As she said this, Lin Shuang led Dragon Soul and the others away. Dragon Soul and Xing Tian smiled helplessly and nodded at Spring And Autumn Dance, Flying Fire, Shadow Follower, Magic Cube of Fate, and the other generals of Snow Moon. Then, they rode away.
I pointed to the west and ordered, "Snow Moon, go to the west wall and prepare to assemble the catapults. We need to reduce damage as much as possible."
Magic Cube of Fate asked, "Use heavy weapons?
What if we damage the city walls? "
"Doesn't matter, it's not ours."
"Heh, that's true!"
Hence, the group of people marched towards the west side of the Clear Breeze City.
In the distance, I saw several silver warhorses galloping over the ridge. They were the players responsible for scouting Holy Helm City, and they were the strongest members of Snow Moon's Yinyao Cavalry.
The vast Clear Breeze Plains was filled with players from both Clear Breeze City and White Cloud City. The Brotherhood was in charge of attacking the west side of Clear Breeze City, and with my tacit approval, Shadow Follower ordered the players of Snow Moon to stand back a bit and let the players of the smaller guilds of White Cloud City help the Brotherhood.
In the time Ling Yue raised her hand, the production players of Snow Moon had already set up catapults in the distance. Not long after, wooden catapults were erected.
A few minutes later, the system bell rang. The battle to reclaim Clear Breeze City had begun!
Ling Yue looked back at me and asked, "Scholar, should we help?"
I nodded. "Then let the archers, mages, priests, summoners, assassins, and more. Keep all the melee players. They have other uses."
"Yes!"
The war drums sounded, and the flag of the Brotherhood fluttered high. With a command from Very Cute, Very Easy to Push, the siege officially began. Countless Brotherhood Cavalry with shields flew forward, covering the Craftsmen as they set up the scaling ladders. In addition, a group of cavalry personally led by A Speck of Dust charged from the front, protecting a pitch-black siege chariot. It was probably specially used to deal with the city gates.
The rumbling of horse hooves rose and fell as the battle raged on and below the city walls!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
As the black rain fell, the Dark Archers on the city walls fired their first volley of arrows. Accompanied by bursts of blood, the Brotherhood's players at the very front fell to the ground and died. In the blink of an eye, a pool of blood was formed.
Immediately, the players at the back were stunned.
A Speck of Dust unsheathed his long sword and shouted, "Don't be afraid of death. When you have brothers by your side, nothing can stop you. Charge!"
War Drum! A large group of The Brotherhood's players roared as they charged forward. Unfortunately, the Dark Archers' attacks were not only swift and fierce, but they were also meticulous. In the blink of an eye, The Brotherhood had already left tens of thousands of corpses at the city gates. One could imagine that the situation at the other gates wasn't any better.
Ling Yue pouted and said, "Why does The Brotherhood give me the feeling that they are a bit noob..."
I couldn't help but laugh. "That's because you're used to the charge of the Yinyao cavalry on Snow Moon. It's obvious that The Brotherhood's cavalry is much weaker than Snow Moon's."
"Are we going to assist in the charge?
Let The Brotherhood take the city walls! "Ling Xue laughed from the sky.
I nodded. "Alright!
Ling Xue, Bing Zhiyi, Fleeting Time, you three come with me. The rest of you stay where you are and don't act rashly! "
As I spoke, I had already urged the Flame Qilin to run. My entire body turned into a ball of fire as I charged below the city walls. Glacial Rampart flashed and deflected countless arrows. Streaks of blue energy surged, presumably reducing a lot of the pressure for me. Also, there were many players of The Brotherhood around me, diverting a lot of their firepower.
I climbed up the cloud ladders and jumped onto the city walls. Domain Shield fell and then I activated Blade Storm!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless sword energies intersected with each other. These sword energies were extremely sharp and those dark archers were unable to block them at all. Not long after, they were all cleared out. I had already used Holy Heal a second time but my health was still on the brink of collapse!
At this time, a loud dragon roar came from the sky. The three Dragon Knight girls condensed cyclones and descended. Long sword energies swept across the city walls. They were invincible!
Under the fierce attacks of the four Snow Moon main force generals, the dark archers on the western city walls were clearly stunned. Not long after, The Brotherhood's melee players also climbed up the city walls. Ling Xue and I fought to the death, attracting nearly half of the enemy's firepower to prevent The Brotherhood's players from getting killed.
After around twenty minutes, [Brotherhood] finally managed to seize the high ground. A large group of Archers, Warriors, Mages, and Priests climbed onto the city walls. They had already stabilized their positions. Very Cute was very easy to push at the side of the city wall. From afar, he smiled at me and said, "Scholar, thank you all!"
"Heh, you're welcome!"
I jumped off the city walls and summoned the Flame Qilin. At the same time, I called out, "Xiao Xue, Bing Zhiyi, Hua Huo, let's retreat. This position belongs to The Brotherhood, we are just support!"
Ling Xue said discontentedly, "Why are we leaving when we're already here?"
"We have more important things to do!"
"Oh?
What important things? "
"It's a secret. Come on, let's retreat!"
The three girls obeyed my orders and urged their giant dragons to soar into the sky. It didn't take long for us to circle above Snow Moon's camp.
When I returned to my faction, Dark Shadow Drifter was also riding his horse back to me. He said, "Shusheng, we've finished our investigation. Holy Helm City will start the battle in 20 minutes. Almost all the players from the four main cities of the American server have gathered at Holy Helm City. The number of players in Holy Helm Canyon is estimated to be more than 40 million!"
I couldn't help but suck in a breath. "Damn, that's not going to be easy!"
"Mn!"
The Shadow Follower nodded strongly. "That's why we need to wait a few more waves and let the mobs help us kill some noobs before we act!"
"Okay, send more people to scout. We'll … Hmm, we'll attack during the fifth wave!
It'll take us three hours to travel, and they'll be at the eighth wave. "
"Hehe, I was thinking the same thing!"
… …
The Brotherhood attacked the south gate with the help of the smaller guilds of White Cloud City. Cool Breeze City also responded, and the first wave of Hungry Demonized Wolves was torn to shreds in the blink of an eye. We didn't just stand there and do nothing. The Yinyao Iron Cavalry and nearly 400,000 Snow Moon Cavalry didn't move. The rest of us joined the battle. After all, sieging a city was rewarding, and we couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
This was especially true for the three Dragon Knight girls. This was a good chance for them to level up quickly. Vanilla Plus Ice didn't go with Snow Moon Cavalry. Bing Cha and his guild went to help Fleeting Years. With the two-headed Dark Dragon Knight, the pressure on Uncle Solitary Grave would lessen a bit.
I had Flying Fire defend Snow Moon while I led the three Dragon Knight girls, the Shadow Follower, Spring And Autumn Dance, Magic Cube of Fate, Sword Fire Warsong, Melancholy, and other Holy Domain players to kill mobs. These people were strong enough that they wouldn't die even against high-level Warsong mobs, so it was better to grind as much as possible without taking any damage.
The reason the Yinyao Iron Cavalry didn't move was because they weren't suited for sieging cities. It was too easy for them to be shot down by the mobs and arrow towers. That would be too much of a waste.
I held Chrysanthemum Daohana in my arms and created a party with Ling Xue and the other girls. This way, when Ling Xue and the others killed mobs, Chrysanthemum Daohana would get some experience. Right now, Chrysanthemum Daohana wasn't even Level 50 yet, so her leveling speed was practically the speed of light.
The second wave of mobs that spawned were Giant Dark Axe Warriors. These smelly warriors used to be beastmen, but they were the first race to betray us when the forces of darkness descended upon the land. Right now, these low-level beastman warriors were nothing more than the vanguard of the Army of Darkness.
I looked to my left and right. Spring And Autumn Dance, the Shadow Follower, and Sword Fire Warsong were lined up on either side of the mobs. I smiled and said, "Hold formation and don't move. When the mobs reach us, the mages and archers at the back will get a taste of their own medicine."
"Got it!"
And so, I raised my shield and the Giant Dark Axe Warriors started throwing their axes at me. This move was very powerful, and even though it was only a single hit, it was enough to make many of the frontline warriors lose their minds.
Bang bang bang!
Layers of energy rippled across the surface of the Icy Wall. To be honest, these Level 252 warsongs were nothing to me. They couldn't break through my Defense at all, and the damage they dealt to me was negligible at best.
Behind them, Inao Hanatsuka had already dismounted from her horse, raising her staff and starting to release Soul Star Rain. Ling Yue was lowered down from the sky by Ling Xue, who cast a Polar Ice Seal on the spot, followed closely by a few Ice Whirlpools with cyclones. In the blink of an eye, a group of Beastman Warriors was annihilated. This powerful magic attack power caused the surrounding Brotherhood players to be dumbfounded. They were both shocked and amazed. No matter if it was Ling Yue's attack power or Ling Yue's elegant and refined beauty, it was enough to move anyone's heart.
… …
Time passed by quickly. Hour after hour, Chrysanthemum Daohana had reached Level 57 by the time the fifth wave of mobs appeared. It was time to start our battle plan.
I notified the first-rate players of Snow Moon to retreat, leaving Chrysanthemum Daohana to continue eating experience. I, Ling Xue, Ling Yue, Shadow Follower, Bing Zhiyi and more to retreat from the battle to reclaim Clear Breeze City.
I rode the Flame Qilin to the front of the Snow Moon players. Looking at the majestic army, I was extremely excited. I raised my Scarlet Heaven Sword and shouted, "Brothers, who is the biggest enemy of the China server?"
Everyone shouted, "Holy Helm City!"
"Very good!"
I laughed and said, "Right now, the people over there are reclaiming Holy Helm City. Once Holy Helm City falls into the hands of the American players, Clear Breeze City will still be sitting on pins and needles. So now, why don't we attack Holy Helm City and give them a surprise?"
The Xue Yue players were incomparably excited. They raised their weapons high up in the air. It was clear that only a national war could make everyone's blood boil. Provoking a war at this juncture was really hitting the American players' sore spot.
We started to count the troops. There were more than 480,000 Snow Moon cavalry. Including the Yinyao cavalry, there were more than 500,000 of them. This was a true army of iron!
The Shadow Follower gave the order, and the Snow Moon cavalry slowly advanced. We were going to attack Holy Helm City!
