"Attack Fierce Tiger City … attack Fierce Tiger City …"
Solitary Grave muttered to himself. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and laughed, "Brilliant!
Why didn't I think of such a brilliant strategy? "
Seven-star Lamp was stunned, "What's so brilliant about it?"
Solitary Grave thought for a moment, then smiled, "If I'm not wrong, Scholar's plan is to attack Dawnlight City. Even if we help them defend Dawnlight City, it won't do us much good. But if we attack Fierce Tiger City, it'll be a completely different story. This way, we'll be on the offensive, and the Barbarian Throne will be the ones who are on pins and needles. Whether we retreat to defend Fierce Tiger City or abandon it, the Indian players will suffer great losses. But if we take Fierce Tiger City, it'll be a huge gain. Even if we can't take it down, we can at least force Fierce Tiger City to retreat from Dawnlight City. It'll be a much wiser choice than sending reinforcements to Dawnlight City."
I smiled, "Uncle, you're right. Actually, whether Dawnlight City belongs to the Han family or the Yin family has nothing to do with us. All we care about is how many main cities we have in our hands. Even if Dawnlight City is occupied by the Indians, we can still attack Fierce Tiger City and occupy this flourishing Level 1 main city. This main city is much larger than Dawnlight City."
Seven-star Lamp finally understood and grinned, "I see. I should've thought of this a long time ago. If that's the case, should we set off immediately?"
"No!"
I shook my head, "We're still 5 hours away from Fierce Tiger City, so there's no need to rush. Let's send people into Fierce Tiger City and destroy the teleportation formation first. If the Barbarian Throne is careless or underestimates their enemy, we'll seize the opportunity. Once the teleportation formation is destroyed, the city will be ours!
Now, everyone, tell your guild members to go offline and eat dinner. You must come back online in half an hour. This battle is going to take a long time. Not only will it be a competition of skill and equipment, but it will also be a competition of stamina! "
Seven-star Lamp nodded, "Then we'll get to it immediately!"
"Yes!
Let's not talk about strategy. Just tell everyone to come online in half an hour. Eat, wash your hands, go to the toilet, do whatever you want in half an hour! "
"Okay!"
Not long after, the order was passed down. Everyone was to rest in the Peace County. I discussed with Lonely Grave and Listen to the Rain from the Window. Snow Moon and Autumn Rain Time would send a large number of Assassins to Fierce Tiger City. We would take advantage of the fact that they weren't paying attention and destroy the defenses of Fierce Tiger City.
Besides that, Brave Heart, Bing Zhiyi, Fleeting Time, and Ling Xue all flew into the sky. If the assassins failed their quest, they would have no choice but to forcefully destroy the teleportation formation. Fierce Tiger City had just been taken back from the Army of Darkness, so the arrow towers and Magic Crystal Cannon Turrets probably hadn't respawned yet. With their advantage in strength, it shouldn't be a problem for the dragonriders to destroy the teleportation formation.
Everyone else logged off after the quest had left. I followed Qin Yun and Chrysanthemum Daohana out of the game. We only had half an hour to rest, so we had to hurry.
As a result, I rushed into the kitchen and stole a few dishes that had just come out of the kitchen. Then, I took my meal and ate with Chrysanthemum Daohana and Chrysanthemum Daohana in the living room. Qin Yun chuckled. She laughed at me for stealing a guest's food. She laughed at me for being such a lowly person.
… …
Half an hour later, a sea of people had already gathered at the foot of An Ding City. They were all waiting for the guild leaders to give the order to set out.
Solitary Grave, Seven-star Lamp, Listening To The Rain From The Window, Bing Cha, and a few more people logged on one after another. Everyone notified each other and finally gave the order — Fierce Tiger City!
I summoned the Flame Qilin and brought Qin Yun with me. Chrysanthemum Daohana was embraced by Bing Cha. The hoodlum Bing Cha hugged Chrysanthemum Daohana while giggling and saying that Chrysanthemum Daohana's chest had grown even bigger. It turns out that a 19-year-old girl's chest would still continue to grow.
Lonely Grave sent out a system announcement. His words were certain —
Ding ~!
System Announcement (Player Solitary Grave Shout): Friends of White Cloud City, I'm sure you've heard that Fierce Tiger City has attacked Dawnlight City. That's right, Fierce Tiger City is known as the "Tiger of the Southwest" of the Spirit of Grief Continent. They have a huge appetite, and after they take down Dawnlight City, they will definitely attack White Cloud City. We have no reason to let them attack first, so the big guilds of White Cloud City have decided to work together to attack Fierce Tiger City. Right now, Snow Moon, Time Like Water, Listening to the Rain Pavilion, Vanilla and Ice, Soul Battle Robes, and more have already mobilized their troops. I hope that everyone of White Cloud City will not fall behind.
… …
It wasn't long before we were out of the Outland. The Shadow Follower led Snow Moon's Yinyao Cavalry as the vanguard. More than ten thousand of us galloped out of the valley like lightning and galloped across the vast plains of the Outland.
It was at this moment that a report of victory came from the frontlines. The four Dragon Knight girls had done a great deed. Thanks to their advantage in speed, they were able to reach Fierce Tiger City in less than half an hour. The four of them descended upon this human city and destroyed all five of its teleportation formations in the blink of an eye. This way, Savage Throne and the others who were far away in Dawnlight City wouldn't be able to return and reinforce Fierce Tiger City any time soon.
In fact, some of the Dragon Knight girls even completed their quest before our assassin party. Melancholy hadn't even completed half of the journey before the quest was over.
However, there were still some casualties. Fierce Tiger City's players were prepared for the final battle where they destroyed the teleportation formations. A large number of archers shot Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time in unison, and Brave Heart escaped with a sliver of health left. Ling Xue, on the other hand, was much calmer. She still had more than half of her HP when she escaped.
It wasn't long before two giant figures appeared in the sky. Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time had died and returned to the city. The Silver Snow Dragon and the Blue Dragon were circling above Snow Moon's camp, adding even more momentum to our army. The Soul Battle Robes players looked up at the sky, and when they saw the two Dragon Knight girls, they were shocked and envious.
In the past, the Dragon Knight girls had made a lot of contributions, and the Soul Battle Robes players had suffered a lot. Moreover, who wouldn't like a beautiful and powerful girl like her?
Rustle rustle...
The Flame Qilin galloped across the plains. Its iron hooves were wrapped in flames as it stepped across the grass, leaving a trail of flames behind. Fortunately, this kind of flame wouldn't harm its master. Otherwise, I would have long been roasted into a medium-well steak.
Qin Yun sat on the Flame Qilin's back with her scepter in hand. Her white and smooth legs peeked out from the slit in her robes, and they looked very alluring. She spread her fingers and waved them at my head. Then, she flapped her wings and buffed me with Goddess's Vow, increasing my Attack by 20% for the next 10 minutes!
"Why are you buffing me now?
The battle hasn't even started yet … "I was a little confused.
Qin Yun smiled. "Don't be so sensitive. I'm just leveling a skill. The battle hasn't even started yet, so I can't waste the mana regeneration effect. If I level this skill to Ghost God Rank, I might even be able to increase the amount of buffs I get!"
"Oh, then continue!"
I unsheathed my sword and patted the Flame Qilin's butt. "Full speed ahead! Fierce Tiger City is ours!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile. "Scholar, is Fierce Tiger City really that good?
Its defense and level are even lower than White Cloud City's.
You don't have to worry so much. "
I smiled noncommittally.
Qin Yun felt that I was hiding something, so she pressed me. "Does Fierce Tiger City have other uses?"
I nodded slightly. "Not really, but Fierce Tiger City is very important to the China region."
"How important?" Qin Yun blinked her eyes, puzzled.
I pulled out the system map and activated the Flame Qilin's auto-pathfinding ability. Then, I focused on Qin Yun and said, "Look, the green dots on the map represent the main cities of the countries on the Spirit of Grief Continent. Our White Cloud City happens to be at the center of the square-shaped Spirit of Grief Continent. What does this mean?"
Qin Yun's eyes narrowed. "Does it mean that the China region will become the target of everyone once the battle begins?"
"That's right!"
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "To the north is Holy Helm City, Fire Dragon City, and Gale City. To the right is Dawn City and Falling Flame City. To the southwest is India's Fierce Tiger City and another Tier 1 city. All in all, this is a terrible strategic location. If we were to fight, we would be surrounded by enemies from all sides. So, if you were the commander of this war, what would you do?"
Qin Yun let out a soft sigh. A glimmer of light flashed through her eyes. She said with a smile, "First attack a direction, get rid of a hidden threat, and then walk out of this situation?"
I couldn't help but smile. "Smart!
Look at Fierce Tiger City. It's located in the southwest corner of the continent. It's surrounded by mountains, and the only place it can be attacked is White Cloud City in the China region. That's why if we want to slowly develop, we must take down Fierce Tiger City. Then, with White Cloud City, Wind City, Sky Water County, King's City, and Apple County as our frontlines, we'll fight against Dawn City, Holy Helm City, and Fire Dragon City. "
Qin Yun revealed a worried expression. "It's a good strategy, but you know that the India region has more players than the China region. Their strength is unimaginable. If we take down Fierce Tiger City, do you think they'll let us go?
I'm sure that the Barbaric Throne will take revenge as soon as possible. "
"Hmph, if the Barbaric Throne wants to come, then we'll welcome them with open arms. If the China region wants to get rid of the threat from behind, then we'll have to fight a few head-on battles with the India region. My strategy doesn't include retreating. It's to use battle to nurture battle. We'll use the strongest elites of the China region to force the India players into Ice Wolf City!"
"Ice Wolf City?"
"Yes. Other than Fierce Tiger City, the other main city in India is Ice Wolf City. It's located directly south of France's Falling Flame City and Korea's Dawn City. It's on the same level as Fierce Tiger City in the west of the China region. Once we take down Fierce Tiger City, we'll force all the players from Fierce Tiger City into Ice Wolf City. Then, a battle between us and Ice Wolf City will be inevitable."
Qin Yun smiled. "Let's fight then. They say that there are no righteous wars in Spring and Autumn, and I think that Spirit of Grief is no different!"
"Hehe, yes!
In the world of great war, the only thing we fight for is territory and land. There's no right or wrong, it all depends on who becomes the king of the continent in the end. "
Qin Yun rolled her eyes at me and laughed softly. "You want the China region to become the king, dominate the Spirit of Grief continent, and build a powerful empire that never sets?" I nodded with a smile.
"I'll do my best. One person's power is limited, and the rest will depend on everyone's performance. I can only guarantee that we'll have the initiative in the battles on Snow Moon. As for the rest, it's beyond my reach. Also, the so-called empire that never sets is just a flash in the pan. It will soon be taken back by the local governments. It's the same in the game. However, that flash in the pan is what I pursue. People need glory once in their lives, don't they?"
"More or less..."
"What do you mean by more or less?
You don't support me enough... "
"Of course not!"
Qin Yun covered her mouth and laughed. "Men fight endlessly, and I don't have any intention of becoming king... Alright, I support you, okay?"
I tightened my arms slightly and hugged Qin Yun. Because the Flame Qilin was running at the front, we were already in the forest, and the troops behind us couldn't see what I was doing. Therefore, Qin Yun acquiesced with a smile.
Of course, the system didn't support XXOO in the game. Also, if Qin Yun and I hid in the forest and became androids, what should we call our children? We couldn't call them Panasonic, could we?
… …
The Flame Qilin ran as fast as lightning. Two hours later, I was standing on top of a tall mountain. In the distance, there were many villages and cities of different heights on the vast plains. However, they were still in the hands of the Army of Darkness. Further away, I could vaguely see the shadow of a towering city. That's right, that was our destination — Fierce Tiger City!
The map showed that we had entered Fierce Tiger City's territory. The forest in front of us was the mother forest of Fierce Tiger City. It was just like White Cloud City's Moonlight Forest. It had nurtured many new players and helped them grow stronger.
However, this history was going to end in our hands. White Cloud City was going to attack Fierce Tiger City. This battle, we had to win!
There were many Fierce Tiger City leveling teams in the forest, but they weren't large in scale. They didn't have any max level 255 players. Almost all of the max level players in the India server had gone to participate in the war against Dawn City.
I didn't have the mood to kill noobs. These people were too noobs. I could probably kill them with my bare hands. That wouldn't give me any sense of accomplishment.
Hence, I urged the Flame Qilin to pass through the forest and head straight for Fierce Tiger City. Less than half an hour later, the Flame Qilin arrived at the city's eastern gate. To my surprise, Fierce Tiger City's eastern gate was tightly shut. The city had already prepared for battle. Moreover, many archers and mages had already appeared on the city's walls. The NPC army was also actively preparing for battle. They should've received word of the Flame Qilin's arrival, but unfortunately, it was already too late. Several of the city's Teleportation Magic Formations had been destroyed.
At this moment, a purple streak streaked across the sky. Ling Xue glided down on her Amethyst Dragon and unleashed a cold sword energy on the city walls. In an instant, countless archers were killed. On the other side, Brave Heart also started a wave of sneak attacks. His Bloody Rose Sword flashed and cut off an entire section of the city wall.
