"What do we do now?"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes stood blankly in the cold wind with her scepter in hand. There weren't many Blazing Hot Lips players left either.
The smoke of war filled the air, and almost everyone was dispirited. There was no hope of victory in sight. Everyone knew that the eight servers of the Northern Alliance, the India server, Japan server, and the Chaotic 27 had a terrifying number of players. Wind City had fallen, and there were still over 30 hours left in the war. No one knew if Sky City could be defended or not.
… …
Whoosh!
I abruptly rose to my feet with determination in my eyes. I growled, "What?
Are you dispirited because you lost a battle?
So what if we lost a Nation War? The Northern Alliance and Purple Grape had lost a Nation War before. Are they going to give up?
It's time to prepare for the next step. Fans like to read:! "
Fighting spirit ignited in Zhang Chun's eyes. "What do you think we should do next, Lu Chen?"
I pursed my lips. "Simple. We'll use their own methods against them!"
"How so?"
"The guilds will mobilize all of their elites and guard the entrances to Sky City. Then, they'll let the enemy players in one group at a time and use the Cage Tactic. If they can use this tactic to kill Wind City's players, then we can use the same tactic to kill them. I don't care how many players they have, I refuse to believe that we can't kill them all!"
Zhang Chun's eyes lit up. "Yeah, Lu Chen's tactic is pretty good. It'll give us the upper hand so we won't have to take a beating all the time!"
I nodded. "Uncle, we don't have much time left."
"Mn!"
Zhang Chun shared the map of Sky City with me and pointed at a certain point. "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' main force is intact, and they'll guard the biggest entrance, which is where we are standing right now, Breeze Canyon. This place can hold back the enemies coming from Wind City, Dawn City, and Black Coast. Then, we'll release the enemies to the west of Breeze Canyon. Snowy Cathaya and Blazing Hot Lips will annihilate them there. Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, and Peach Garden will defend the northwest side of the map …"
Zhang Chun slowly issued his orders in an orderly manner. He was a talented commander who excelled in defense, but unfortunately, he lacked the courage to do so. He would've been a super commander otherwise.
…
Staring at Breeze Canyon, Li Chengfeng clenched his fists tightly. His eyes flashed with fury as he said, "Breeze Canyon reminds me of the War of Dawn City …"
During the first Kingdom War, Li Chengfeng had died a heroic death in this place. This was something that many people knew about, and the other readers were reading it normally.
The wind was so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes. I smirked and said, "Chengfeng, you don't have to be afraid this time. We'll defend this place with you. Even if we die, we die together!"
"En!"
Li Chengfeng nodded heavily. "Do you think it's that easy for them to kill us now?
Haha … "
…
The crowd quickly dispersed, and Snowy Cathaya, Warsky Alliance, Candle Dragon and the other guilds went to find their own garrisons. In the Nation War interface of Sky City, there were still over 47 million China players left. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the main force of Sky City still existed. Right now, the elites of these players had spread out to the borders and were waiting for the experts to arrive at any moment.
Xu Yang walked up to me and asked, "Lu Chen, what should we do about our defense?"
I replied without hesitation, "My forty thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen and thirty thousand Howling Wind Cavalrymen will retreat into the canyon. Mobilize a hundred thousand cavalry players to defend the canyon. The Cyan Tiger Cavalry will take priority, and the ranged players will follow closely behind. Set up ballistas and White Marsh Chariots at the edge of the mountain range and attack the entrance of the canyon at any time. Listen to my command, open up a gap and let hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in. Eve, Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Chengfeng, you will be the party leaders. Use stratagems to command the Dragonlight Cavalry and Howling Wind Cavalry to be the assassins. Kill as many enemies as they come in.
Xu Yang nodded and said, "Heh, I understand. Everyone, do as I say!"
The Dragonlight Cavalry and Howling Wind Cavalry were our sharp blades. Only these two types of troops would be able to kill the enemy without suffering any casualties if we let them in. Moreover, this was only because of their Famous General Skills. Without their Famous General Skills, at least half of the Dragonlight Cavalry would've died outside Wind City. Everything complemented each other. Everyone understood this.
… …
"They're here!"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun stood at the top of the canyon with a group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen by his side. He laughed loudly and said, "They're fast! Dammit, they're here to steal the credit!
Can some archers come and see who's leading the vanguard? It can't be River East's Sun Jian, right? Hahaha … "
I hurriedly leaped onto the dragon's back and soared into the sky. When we were several hundred meters in the air, I saw a group of troops charging toward us from the direction of Wind City. Dust billowed into the air as I used Dark Pupils. The emblem on the shoulders of these cavalrymen was imprinted into my eyes. The player at the very front was fully armored and wielding a sword. There was a line of words above his head — Titan God LV-211 Main City: Titan City Guild: God Realm Position: Guild Leader...
"It's the Fire Rhinoceros Cavalry of God Realm!
There are so many of them! There must be at least 200k of them! Dammit, they're for real! Those bastards from the Northern Alliance sure have a big appetite. They just took down Wind City and they're planning to take down Sky City as well?
Fuck, they sure have a big appetite! Are they trying to turn all the players in the China server into wild animals?! "
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun raised his blade and shouted, "Raise your defenses! We can't let them in, or Sky City will be in danger!"
I shouted, "You and Yun, don't defend! Spread out and let the players from Olympus in! Let all of our Fire Rhinoceros Cavalrymen in! We're going to start with Olympus today! They're one of the top guilds in the Northern Alliance, so if we're going to kill them, we're going to kill them first! Once all of their riders are in, we're going to cut off the entrance to the canyon!
Activate the pocket formation and prepare to kill the enemy! "
"Got it, boss!"
The sound of horse hooves shook the pine forest in the canyon, causing the leaves to tremble. There were quite a few of the God Realm's ace cavalrymen. In fact, even Zhang Chun was worried about us from afar. "Annihilate the God Realm's cavalry?
This … Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls must've lost their minds to do something like this … "
Holding the Purple Ying Sword, I leaned my back against the wall and let out a sigh of relief. Who in the world would be willing to fight the main force of the Divine Realm head-on? If we don't fight the Divine Realm, are we going to let them invade Sky City and deal a fatal blow to the City of the Kings?
"Brothers and sisters, it's time to move out!" I nodded at everyone.
Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi and the others tightened their grip on their weapons and nodded at me. Gui Guzi asked, "Yeah, we don't need to worry about anything else. Our only goal is to annihilate them, am I right, boss?"
I smiled. "Yeah, we will annihilate them all. Today, we brothers and sisters will kill until we can't eat anymore. Otherwise, not even a fly will be able to fly into Sky City from Breeze Canyon!"
"Got it!"
The Dragonlight Cavalry waited in formation inside the forest. Thanks to the cover of the trees, they couldn't see us on the open plains. Therefore, the first batch of riders who entered the canyon had to accept our ambush.
… …
"They're here!"
The first batch of Fire Rhinoceros Cavalry charged into the canyon like a gust of wind, but they didn't expect that the gourd-shaped canyon entrance would be their burial ground. In the blink of an eye, a horde of Fire Rhinoceros Cavalry filled the entire canyon.
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun growled from a high vantage point, "That's it! We're going to cut off our retreat path and attack!
Chiang!
I unsheathed my sword and mounted the Divine Dragon. Then, I shouted, "Kill them!"
Hooves thundered from all directions as nearly 50000 Dragonlight Cavalry and 30000 Hissing Wind Cavalry charged toward the enemy. Even Beiming Xue and her 20k Dragonlight Archers charged toward the enemy. AoE skills covered the entire battlefield, and the Dragonlight Archers were more than enough to clear the battlefield in no time.
Titan God shouted from the crowd, "Fuck, we've been ambushed! Don't panic, everyone! We have the numbers advantage! Let's fight back!"
Li Chengfeng raised his Dark Blade and rushed over. He smiled at Titan God and said, "We meet again!"
Titan God shivered. "It's you again!"
Just as he finished speaking, Rock Crush + Aurora Thrust exploded from the flank, nearly knocking the Titan God off his horse. At this critical moment, he no longer intended to let Li Chengfeng fight the Titan God one on one. Instead, he decided to kill the Titan God first.
“MD！”
Titan God roared angrily as he killed three Dragonlight Cavalrymen with a flick of his sword. Then, he retreated with Great Earth Energy, but before he could react, Dragon Soared over his head. Grabbing the Dragon God's Lantern with one hand and using God Binding Art with the other, he landed on the ground!
Swhoosh!
The Titan God stood there in astonishment. He was indeed bound by the God Binding Art.
Li Chengfeng arrived at Titan God's side and used Dragonbone Flurry to delete the last of his HP!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that Heroic Bannerman "Titan God" (USA) has been killed by player "Legendary Brave" (China)!
… …
I cheered inside my head. Killing Titan God as soon as possible and receiving the system announcement was a huge boon for us. Now that Titan God was dead, the morale of all the Gods guilds would turn cold, and it would be even easier for us to carry out our plan of annihilation.
The sound of weapons clashing against armor filled the air as He Yi, Gui Guzi, and the others charged into the crowd and used Thousand Ton Breaks to bully the magic knights who were at full health. Lian Xin's Divine Demon Break was our ultimate skill on this battlefield, and it dealt over 300k damage per hit. She also had Ice Spiral Matrix and other skills, so she was like Abbess Annihilation wherever she stood. Not even a blade of grass could survive within 40 yards of her...
The Purple Ying Sword glowed as I fired Soaring Dragon Suppression, Call of the Wind and Rain, and Ten Thousand Absolute Swords into a group of enemies. Chaos Moon, Heaven's Rain, and Chaos Moon were at the forefront of the battle as we swiftly pierced through Divine World's cavalry formation. After that, we sliced them into countless pieces, making the battle much easier.
