Thousands of Chinese players had been turned into corpses inside the canyon. It was clear that Zhang Chun had sent dozens of Vanished God City's large guilds to Hot Sand City, but their reinforcements had been intercepted at this canyon. Vanished God City's players alone weren't strong enough to take down the city, so the Vietnamese's strategy was very simple. They would intercept the reinforcements halfway and secure the main city. However, it seemed that they hadn't expected Wind City to fall so quickly. The Chinese players had reached Hot Sand Canyon in just a couple of hours.
… …
Inside the canyon, Warsky and his Horned Beast Cavalry charged at Storm and Daybreak's shield formation. On both sides of the mountain range, October Rain and her assassins, archers, and mages were slaughtering their way through the forest. The other readers were just watching as normal.
Thud!
October Rain dashed through the forest like a butterfly, leaving a trail of fallen leaves in her wake. She fired a Skypiercer + Spiraling Arrow Blade combo and followed it up with an Armor Piercing Arrow, instantly killing a shield-wielding Vietnamese melee player. Behind her, a group of Warsky Alliance archers fired Far Shot in unison, turning the forest in front of her into a sea of blood. Fans loved to read:
"Stop them!"
Within the crowd, a Level 212 Knight raised his shield and said with a cold smile, "These Chinese are trying to sneak through the forest, but we can't let them do as they wish! Hold them off! Fortify your shield formation! Priests, keep your health up! Don't let them get through! Our allies from Sunset City, Chariot City, and Cyan Earth City will be here soon! Hot Sand City will forever belong to us Vietnamese players!"
Before his voice faded away, a bloody light suddenly appeared behind the knight. He had already realized that he had been ambushed. Unfortunately, he was in a daze and couldn't wake up. A bloody dagger turned and casually slashed across the knight's neck, leaving a bloody mark.
A black-armored assassin passed by with a smirk on his face. His feet moved in an S-shaped pattern as he evaded Barrier Break's attacks. Of course, the only assassin who could do this was Farewell Song. He raised his dagger and a pair of bloody wings unfurled from his back. Whoosh! His dagger glowed with the luster of an ancient beast as he swung it down. "Qiongqi Rend!"
Boom!
When Farewell Song's dagger slashed into a group of players, a group of half-health Shield Formation players collapsed to the ground. Qiong Qi Break was an S-rank Ancient Divine Skill, and its attack power was pretty good. At the very least, he was much luckier than Warsky, October Rain, and Laughing At The Heavens, who hadn't obtained any Ancient Divine Skills after entering the vortex in the sky.
… …
The canyon had become Warsky Alliance's stage. During the performance time, Warsky Alliance alone was able to contend against Vietnam's Storm and Breaking Dawn. Moreover, they were not at a disadvantage at all.
Kacha!
Coldness of the Nine States flashed by, and a basic attack instantly killed a Storm Knight charging at me. I pursed my lips. "Farewell Song's attacks are really sharp …"
Li Chengfeng said, "Are we just going to watch them perform?
This is a great opportunity to obtain an ancient godly skill. Don't you want the title of MVP, Lu Chen? "
I waved my hand dismissively. "I'm only Level 211 right now, and I'm waiting for a chance to level up. There's no way I'll give up the MVP title so easily."
"I'm only Level 211 right now, and I'm waiting for a chance to level up. There's no way I'll give up the MVP title so easily."
Chaos Moon looked at my equipment and asked, "Lu Chen, how much of your equipment is from the MVP title?
High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun couldn't wait any longer. They asked, "Boss, when are we going to attack? Time is money …"
I stared into the distance and said with a smile, "One hour. One hour at most. The Vietnamese won't be able to stop Warsky Alliance's frenzied assault. Once there's a hole in the canyon, we'll charge out and fight the Vietnamese in the forest. Fans love to watch this!"
"Mn!"
… …
In less than half an hour, the Storm and Daybreak couldn't hold on any longer. Warsky Alliance had sent almost 900k players, and 400k of them were super elites. The Horned Beast Cavalry had also joined the fray. Under Warsky's leadership, they charged left and right like there was no one who could stop them. Most importantly, Hot Sand City didn't have a single player with an Ancient Divine Skill. Warsky Alliance had Soul Battle Robes, and Song of Ice and Fire was a Nation War fanatic. He killed countless people with his Ancient Divine Skill, Gonggong's Wrath!
The Ancient Divine Skill cost 10 Divine Energy Points per use, and it required a transformation. Each transformation cost at least 10 Divine Energy Points, so using the Ancient Divine Skill cost 20 Divine Energy Points. Therefore, unless you were a player with high DPS, you couldn't use it continuously. Even I tried to use Xuanyuan Slash once every 20 to 30 minutes to keep my Divine Energy Points above 100. If something unexpected happened, I would need to use the Ancient Divine Skill continuously to achieve amazing results.
… …
When I saw that there were only corpses and Vietnamese players running for their lives at the center of the canyon, I raised my sword and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, it's time to charge through Hot Sand Forest and take the city! Everyone else, watch as normal!"
Everyone raised their weapons in excitement. We've waited for so long, and it was finally our turn!
The Dragonlight Cavalry tore open a weak gap in the defense line, and the mighty army of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls crossed the canyon and entered Hot Sand Forest. Behind them, dozens of large guilds of the China server had also followed us. The number of China players inside the borders of Hot Sand City quickly broke past 10 million, while the Vietnamese players numbered less than 5 million. The difference in numbers was as clear as day.
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at Hot Sand City. From afar, the nearly four million Chinese players under Zhang Chun's command had already surrounded the city. Currently, the Vietnamese players were scaling ladders to attack the city. There were over two million Vietnamese players on top of the city, and they wouldn't be able to take down the city within a short time. After all, Hot Sand City was a Level 1 main city. The city's defenses were clear to see, and the dense Arrow Towers within the city weren't just for show. As the Chinese players stormed through the city, the rate at which Vietnamese players died was far beyond Zhang Chun's expectations.
"Uncle!"
I shouted from afar.
Zhang Chun immediately walked over to me with a group of guild leaders behind him. He said with a smile, "You're finally here, Lu Chen! We've reclaimed Wind City! Haha, it's time to celebrate!"
"Reclaiming the city isn't worth celebrating. Conquering Hot Sand City is!"
"Mn!"
… …
Candlelight Shadow rode up to me with a dark look in his eyes. "Zhang Chun, you haven't taken the city yet?
Didn't you say that you'd take Hot Sand City in three hours? "
Zhang Chun rolled his eyes at him. "You saw it yourself. A lot of Vietnamese players teleported back from Wind City to help with the defense, and a lot of players from Chariot City and Sunset City have come to help as well. The arrow towers inside the city are brand new, and they've never been attacked before. It won't be easy for us to take them down, so I miscalculated."
Blue Sky Scar grinned. "Everyone knows that Hot and Sour Noodles is good at defense, but not offense. You don't have to explain, we all know that. If we're talking about taking the city, we'll still have to rely on Candle Dragon, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya, and Warsky Alliance …"
Hot and Sour Noodles nodded. "Die!"
Blue Sky Scar shuddered.
Candlelight Shadow asked, "What do you plan to do next, Zhang Chun?
Are we just going to keep attacking like this?
If that's the case, we'll suffer huge losses. The main guilds of the US server, Titan City, and Hero City haven't made a move yet, and Cyan Earth City hasn't made a move either. Their 40,000,000 troops are lying in ambush, and they could attack at any moment … "
Zhang Chun nodded. "Mn. Our only chance is to take the city before they show up!"
… …
I hugged my sword and leaned against the Ancient Divine Dragon's neck in silence.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked at me. "Why aren't you saying anything, Lu Chen? Do you disagree with the CGL organizing committee chairman?"
I smiled. "What are you talking about?"
Hot and Sour Noodles glared at me. "I can tell from your smile that you don't agree with my plan, you little brat. Tell me, what do you think? You don't agree with my plan?"
He Yi and Lin Yixin looked at me from the left and right. "Speak …"
I smiled and said, "Uncle, you said that we should attack and take down the city before their reinforcements arrive, but that won't work at all. That's because the city we take down is just an abandoned city. All the arrow towers have been destroyed, and even the city walls have collapsed. It's not good for defense. When Hero City and Cyan Earth City's main forces arrive, we will be heavily injured, and we will be forced to kneel before them. What do you think?"
"What should we do then?"
Candlelight Shadow, Hot and Sour Noodles, and Warsky asked almost at the same time. They desperately needed a victory to boost their morale.
I straightened my back and said, "Instead of taking the city by force, why don't we feign an attack? We'll let second-rate guilds like Mad Dragon, Flower Room, and Pop Culture attack the city while our main forces hide in the forest outside the city and intercept their reinforcements. We'll seize the geographical advantage and take the initiative. We'll kill all the players from Hero City and Cyan Earth City, and the city will be ours. There are still 48 hours until the Nation War starts, so hurry up!"
"Surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements …" Warsky Alliance smacked his lips. "Fuck, it's the kill tactic again. Lu Chen, why are all your ideas so ruthless?"
Hot and Sour Noodles laughed. "Not ruthless enough to defeat the enemy. This is a good idea. Let's adopt it!"
Candlelight Shadow also nodded. "Okay, I'll take Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, and Hall of Immortality to the west mountain range. The Americans will pass through there if they want to come, so we'll intercept them there!"
Lin Yixin said, "Little Cheat and I will intercept the players from Cyan Earth City. Uncle Zhang Chun will be the main force here …"
… …
It was at this moment a mounted player galloped toward us from the distance and dismounted in front of Hot and Sour Noodles. His face was ashen as he said, "They're here! Cyan Earth City's Guardian Guild has moved out in full force and will arrive at Hot Sand Forest in half an hour!"
Chiang!
I pulled out Coldness of the Nine States and said, "Just in time. It's time to get some points, brothers and sisters!"
It was rare that I managed to log into the backstage and upload the third update.
