We hurriedly left the beautiful Chance Water Lake. I was afraid that we would be involuntarily dragged into the whirlpool of this Nation War. One of the three main cities had already fallen, Wind City was surrounded, and Sky City was facing threats from all sides. A sense of oppression rose in my heart. It wasn't going to be as simple as it seemed. This situation wasn't one that a single player or party could turn the tide of the war.
I sat on the bus and surfed the internet with my phone. The specific news about Vanished God City's fall entered my eyes — [Vanished God City]: Cyan Earth City players Breeze and Rain, Shallow Sunshine and the others have completed the SSS Rank quest [Mark of the Devil] and helped Coldblade, one of the Nine Sovereigns of Purgatory, obtain a complete soul. His strength has skyrocketed, and his Bloody Shield Domain has undergone a transformation. All Night Creatures have gone berserk, and under Coldblade's command, they have broken through Princess Karinshan's defensive perimeter and invaded Vanished God City. They have broken through the city's seven great legions like a hot knife through butter, and finally made it to the capital city. Prince Cloudway, the Dragonheart Knight, and his troops were forced to retreat from Vanished God City and relocate to Sky City under Karinshan's protection. Vanished God City has officially fallen into Coldblade's hands and was renamed "Vanished Magic City". The city was surrounded by Night Creature monsters, and they couldn't be breached within a short period of time. Stranger of Three Lifetimes and the other guilds of Vanished God City fought to the death, but they were completely annihilated. After they resurrected, Blazing Hot Lips, Long God Temple, Rose of the Holy Domain, Hunting Moon Dynasty, and other super guilds moved into Sky City.
… …
I exhaled softly and looked out the window. Then, I continued to read the news about Wind City. Wind City was currently embroiled in a bitter battle. The Northern Alliance had broken through Bear Den's defenses and invaded Wind City in large numbers. Most of them had crossed Dragonbone Mountain Range through small paths. Right now, Wind Canyon was filled with players from the USA, France, Korea, and so on. The Northern Alliance's invasion had been confirmed, and Candlelight Shadow, Luo River God of the Capital, Indigo Collar, and more were leading their own forces to resist the enemy.
At the same time, God of War and Wild King of Cyan Earth City had crossed the Black Sea Coast and used the shortcut at Dark Water Lake to reach the coast of China. They had already wiped out one of Dragon King's encampments and surrounded Dark Moon City. God of War seemed to know that Dark Moon City was a Rank 10 territory, and it was the home of the world-renowned Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. There was no way they would be able to take it down so easily.
On the other hand, Tear Stain had shared the teleportation function of a Rank 8 territory at Flying Flame Desert. As a result, a large number of Korean, Vietnamese, and English players had crossed Dragonbone Mountain Range and reached Sky City's borders. This time, the danger China was facing was simply too fatal. Everyone else was reading the news normally.
… …
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. "I … didn't I tell them to defend those 37 shortcuts yesterday morning?
Why … why did they break through our defenses so easily and enter the borders of the three main cities? What the hell are they doing … "
Lin Yixin put down her phone and said softly, "Warsky Alliance, Righteousness, Candle Dragon, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and more have all sent their elites to defend the city, but the enemy has sent their super elites as well. Vienna's Sorrow is personally leading Hero Alliance and 12 Heroic Bannermen as the vanguard. Righteousness is no match for them, and it's the same for Sky City. They've been raining attacks on us for a long time now.
They've been planning this for a long time … "I leaned my head against the seat and said," Let's head back and see if we can protect Wind City. We've lost Vanished God City, but we can't lose Wind City … "
"Mn!"
… …
I returned to the hotel and logged into the game.
Swhoosh!
I appeared at the Black Iron Camp and repaired my equipment and bought potions in an instant. I summoned the Ancient Divine Dragon and flew out of the camp. I saw Kiss, Battle Scar, Bloodthirsty Devil and the others standing outside the camp. Kiss walked up to me with his sword in hand and said, "Boss, you're finally online!"
"Yeah. What's the situation like now?"
"Your homeland, Vanished God City, has fallen, and Wind City is surrounded. It won't be long before it falls as well. What should we do now?
Head to Sky City and join in the defense? "
Kiss blinked once before replying with a smile, "I've convinced our brothers to participate in this war. The Umbrella Guild doesn't just protect our own homeland, we protect the homes of our friends as well. The Dragonlight Cavalry of Sky City has fought for us time and time again, and now is the time for us to repay them. Everyone else, please read on as usual."
I nodded. "There's no need to rush. Kiss, lead everyone over Sky Ridge and set up camp at the borders of Sky City. Intercept the people who enter the China server through the small paths. I'll leave the war to you. I'm going to Sky City to check out the situation there!"
"Mn. Don't worry, boss!"
… …
I climbed onto the Ancient Divine Dragon's back and discovered that the little dragon was already Level 149 and at 97% experience. It was just a little bit away from reaching Level 150 and entering the awakening period. Sigh, there wasn't any time to grind experience right now. Wind City was the home of guilds like Candle Dragon, Purple Lily, and Peach Garden. If we lost it, the entire northern part of the China server would be lost, and that wasn't something I wanted to see.
"Roar!"
The Ancient Divine Dragon roared as it soared into the sky and dove into the clouds. In the blink of an eye, it left Glacier County's territory. Flying at full speed, it took less than ten minutes to reach the Black Sea Coast. When Shi Feng looked down, he discovered that it was Dark Moon City.
… …
On the ground, countless players were wreaking havoc. They were all players from Cyan Earth City, and countless divine elephants were galloping on the ground. Wild King, the guild leader of the Nation Defending Guild, was shouting angrily, "Attack from the front! Break through the iron gates of this city and bring all the ballistas and catapults here! This city is Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand's territory, and now is the time for revenge! Attack with everything you've got!"
Above the city, Xu Yang was the only one standing guard. He pointed his sword into the distance and shouted angrily, "Defend the city! 20,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen, prepare yourselves inside the city and attack the enemy's formation with me! We cannot let the Divine Elephant Cavalry break through our territory, or we'll be left with nothing!"
Inside the city, the twenty thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen unsheathed their swords and armor. They looked very intimidating.
Thud!
A draconic roar later, I landed steadily on top of the city gates. Not far away, a couple of female archers smiled in pleasant surprise. "Ah, it's the vice leader, Lu Chen … Lu Chen is back! Fans love to read:!"
I smiled and nodded. "Hello, everyone …"
Xu Yang walked toward me with his sword in hand. "You're finally online, Lu Chen! Boss, Li, Little Gui, Beiming, and Lian Xin have all gone to Wind City to provide reinforcements, so I was left to defend Dark Moon City. Fuck, who would've thought that the second strongest guild of Cyan Earth City would attack our territory in full force? That bastard Wild King has gone insane! He attacked us three times and suffered countless casualties, but he still insisted on attacking us. I'm afraid we'll be in danger when their siege weapons reach us."
I stared into the distance as a cold glint flashed across my eyes. "Don't worry, Brother Xu Yang. I'll show them the might of Dark Moon City the moment they reach us!"
"Mn!"
I was still the lord of Dark Moon City, and I was the first city lord no less. He Yi and Li Chengfeng were the second city lords, and they could manage all the affairs of Dark Moon City. However, there were some things that only I, the city lord, could do.
… …
Below the city, the war drums were beating loudly. Wild King raised his blade and shouted, "Attack! Flatten Anyue City! Let them lose this fortress by the sea! Let our brothers enter the Chinese Server without any obstructions!"
Creak …
The iron gates of Dark Moon City opened, and twenty thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen marched out of the city. Xu Yang jumped off the walls and summoned his mount the moment he landed. He laughed loudly and said, "Lu Chen, I'm going to attack! Leave the rest to me!"
"Got it!"
More than a hundred thousand Divine Elephant Cavalry pulled out their swords with dark expressions on their faces. Wild King spurred his mount forward and clashed with Xu Yang's troops in the blink of an eye.
… …
In the distance, siege tanks finally appeared on the horizon and slowly approached the city. These were the deadliest enemies of Dark Moon City, and they were also the thing that Dark Moon City feared the most.
I looked up and saw nearly a hundred dark purple plant pillars piercing through the clouds in the middle of the territory. These were none other than the Rank 10 territorial building I was most proud of — Wyvern's Nest!
Chiang!
I unsheathed the Purple Ying Sword and shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for, Dark Bone Dragons? The enemy is at our doorstep! Attack and destroy those siege weapons!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Above the Wyvern Lair, countless sleeping Dark Bone Dragons flapped their bony wings and flew up, roaring as they charged towards the ground. A whole thousand Dark Bone Dragons, all of them the most elite Undead Dragons under Sophie's command. What a terrifying existence!
… …
"Ah?
What … what is that?! "Wild King stared at the black mass in the sky in shock.
A few seconds later, countless Dark Bone Dragons swooped down from the sky and unleashed Dragon Breaths of Ice and Fire into the crowd. The Divine Elephant Cavalry screamed in agony as each Dragon Breath dealt over 200k damage. The Divine Elephant Cavalry only had 400k HP on average, and the Dragonlight Cavalry's attacks and the Nation Wars had begun. If they died, they wouldn't be able to enter the China server again for three days.
What was even more fatal was that the siege weapons were heavy armor, and the damage they received from magic attacks was doubled. Hence, the Dark Bone Dragon's Dragon Breath destroyed the Projectile Carts one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the scene before them was a scene of desolation.
… …
"What the hell is this …?!"
Wild King stood there in a daze for a long time. Finally, he clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "All Nation Guardians, retreat with me! We'll circle around Dark Moon City from the edge of the mountain range! We can't take it anymore!"
