The Frost Cloud workshop had already contacted He Yi. She, Murong Mingyue and Lian Xin were all online, and it would take them less than 28 hours to defend the City of Silver.
I returned to my room and logged into the game!
Swhoosh!
I appeared inside Dark Moon City, summoned the Ancient Divine Dragon, and pulled out Coldness of the Nine States. I was about to leave when a dark silver figure appeared above my head. It was none other than the Winged Silver Dragon!
"Master's brother!"
"What is it?"
"Master has returned to the Violet Empire. She told me to wait here and tell you her whereabouts so that you won't worry."
I nodded. "Got it. Go, Winged Silver Dragon!"
"Yes!"
… …
The cunning holy dragon disappeared into the clouds. It was a holy dragon that could summon the wind and rain, and the fact that Xinran was able to tame it showed just how courageous she was.
Beep!
Li Chengfeng sent me a message: "You're finally online, Lu Chen!"
"Yeah. How's Heavenly City going, Chengfeng?"
"Soul Battle Robes is fighting us for the City of Silver with a bunch of small fries, but we've killed Song of Ice and Fire, God Bone and Ringwraith, so they can't fight back. Right now, our main guild has more than 90k players defending the City of Silver, and the City Lord Token is in the guild leader's hands. They probably won't be able to take it."
"Which direction is the City of Silver?" I asked.
Li Chengfeng smiled proudly. "It's in Vanished God City, right inside Bloody Shield Domain. Haha, the spawn point of the City of Silver is the best. It's surrounded by 250 + Demon Rank mobs, and there are plenty of densely packed mini-maps. The City of Silver is going to be very popular in the near future because high-level players will definitely choose to replenish their supplies here. Hehe, it's definitely the best leveling spot in the world. We're going to be rich ~ ~"
"Mn. Give me the coordinates. I'll head over immediately and see if there's anything I can do to help!"
"Okay, Bloody Shield Domain (2187) (2187).
10929), come over by yourself! "
"I'll be there soon!"
… …
I turned off the communicator and climbed onto the dragon's back. Er, I canceled the donkey as well. I was still using the identity of Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. There was no need to use the Master of Disguise Ring to hide my identity at a time like this. The fight for Heaven City was going to be a head-on battle to begin with, so let's do it out in the open!
When I teleported to Vanished God City, the Ancient Divine Dragon soared into the sky, shocking all the players in Vanished God City. Many of them recognized the dragon and shouted, "It's Lu Chen, it's Lu Chen! He's finally willing to log into the game and challenge Heavenly Domain City! It looks like Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is going to take the City of Silver for sure!"
The Ancient Divine Dragon let out a low roar as it flew through the clouds. I set the coordinates of Bloody Shield Domain and let the little dragon fly on its own. Right now, Vanished God City was still the territory of humans, elves, and succubi, so the aerial units that appeared in the sky were human Warhawk Knights or Gryphon Knights. They wouldn't attack me.
Less than half an hour later, a bloody cloud appeared in front of me. It was the border of Bloody Shield Domain. Right now, Bloody Shield Domain was still in the hands of one of the Nine Sovereigns of Purgatory, Endless Storm Coldblade. Coldblade had built an army belonging to the Dark Purgatory, and if Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls succeeded in conquering the City of Silver, we would have to deal with this despicable and powerful Purgatory boss for a while. Mn, it was another challenge. After the battle at Dragon God Cave, I had heavily injured Ming Yu and Michael, and these two heavily injured bosses had disappeared without a trace. This was a huge blow to the Dark Faction. Sophie, one of the Nine Sovereigns of Purgatory, had already left Purgatory, I had killed Strella, and Bloody Finger had been subdued by Xinran. Three of the Nine Sovereigns were gone, so progress wasn't bad.
Swhoosh!
I raised Coldness of the Nine States and lowered its head. The Ancient Divine Dragon glided close to the ground. Bloody Shield Domain had just respawned, and it was filled with all kinds of devils and undead creatures. Moreover, there were countless players surrounding and killing high-level mobs. Due to the appearance of the City of Silver, this place had become a hunting ground for players.
At the end of the horizon, there was a flash of silver light in the distance. That was the City of Silver!
The Ancient Divine Dragon roared as it streaked across the ground and charged straight toward the City of Silver. The players on the ground also looked up in astonishment. All of them understood what was going on. "Fuck, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is finally here. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is determined to take over the City of Silver, so why are we still going there to be cannon fodder? Why don't we stay here and kill some Devil Rank mobs? Maybe they'll drop a top-tier Immortal-grade ring and sell it for a couple hundred thousand. Once we get a down payment on a house, a Chang 'an Bento, and a few girls, we'll be able to live the rest of our lives in peace!!"
I occasionally heard a few words and couldn't help but chuckle inside. This was life. Small wishes were the source of happiness. Many people saw too much, so they wanted too much. In the end, they obtained a lot, but they still didn't feel a shred of happiness.
… …
Less than five minutes later, the Ancient Divine Dragon arrived at the City of Silver like lightning. The city was already occupied by Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Bloody Mercenaries, and the Dragonlight Archers and Dragonlight Cavalrymen were densely packed on the city walls. These were the symbolic troops of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Below the city walls, a crowd was surging like a tide. Even though Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' players had taken control of the city, the greedy players of the City of Silver were still unwilling to give up. After all, the Holy Demon Heart was definitely the top item for mages, tacticians, bards, and other mage classes. A 25% increase in Magic Attack meant that other people who had 100 points of Intelligence would gain 100 points of Magic Attack, but those who had the Holy Demon Heart would gain 125 points of Magic Attack instead of 100 points of Intelligence.
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls already had the peak-level mage Lian Xin, first-rate mages like Yu Tong, and now Moonlight Stone had returned. Our mage army was strong, and once we took control of the City of Silver, we could use the Holy Demon Heart to buff every first-rate mage in the main guild and create an invincible magic army!
He Yi, the possessor of the City Lord Token, wasn't on the city walls. According to the system notification, she was inside the city hall. She was keeping a low profile and acting mysterious because she had the City Lord Token with her. This would dissuade the players on the perimeter of the city from attacking. After all, even the Dragonlight Cavalry might not be able to break through the city walls, let alone get their hands on the City Lord Token.
Thud!
I activated the Divine Dragon Armor while I was still in midair. The little dragon turned into a stream of light and entered my Dragon Suppressing Armor. I landed on the city walls with Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, Gui Guzi, and the others nearby.
"You're finally here, Lu Chen!" Chaos Moon said with a smile.
I nodded. "Yeah. It looks like we're doing pretty well …"
Li Chengfeng pointed a finger at the city walls and said, "Those bastards are pretty fierce, but they aren't fighting with their lives on the line. That's why they couldn't even break through our Dragonlight Archers' defense line. Four hours ago, our Dragonlight Cavalry almost annihilated Soul Battle Robes. Hehe, 10k Dragonlight Cavalrymen were enough to crush them to the point where they can't even lift their heads.
These attacks are nothing to be afraid of. "I walked to the edge of the city, and a bunch of players from a bunch of random guilds looked up in astonishment." Ah, that guy has the WEL MVP emblem on his shoulder! That's Lu Chen! He's finally here! Fuck, we're done for City of Silver … "
I cleared my throat and said, "The City of Silver is the second strongest city in the Heavenly Domain. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has been fighting for the China server for almost half a year now, and we believe that we've done our fair share of disservice. We hope that this City of Silver can increase the strength of our server as much as possible. Once Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls obtains the City of Silver, we'll open it to the public and minimize the fees so that it'll be easier for everyone to move in. If you know who I am, then please give me some face and give up on attacking me. We're not acquiring the City of Silver for internal strife, but to defend against the powerful enemies around the Central!"
More and more people began to think about retreating after I said that. They turned their mounts around and left in droves.
Li Chengfeng exclaimed in astonishment, "Holy shit, this is what it means to surrender without a fight?"
Chaos Moon's mouth fell open in astonishment as well. "That works too? We're fighting to the death, but you sent so many of them away with just a few words …"
I was surprised as well. "Didn't you guys negotiate with them verbally?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "No, we didn't. This city war is based on points, so we attacked them shamelessly to earn more points …"
Me: "..."
… …
Beiming Xue looked at me with a smile. "Big bro, it looks like we're going to get the City of Silver for sure. I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to log out and sleep for a bit. You're here anyway …"
I walked up to her and patted her shoulder. "Mn, sleep a little longer. You can go back online when you wake up naturally. Remember to eat something after you log out. Don't go to sleep on an empty stomach."
"Okay!"
Beiming Xue gave me a hug and giggled. "I miss you, big bro!"
"I know. Go …" I patted her long hair.
"Mn!"
Soon, Beiming Xue entered the city lord's hall and logged out to rest.
… …
"What do we do now?" Li Chengfeng asked.
I said, "How's the battle at Golden City?"
Gui Guzi said, "Candle Dragon and Warsky Alliance fought a terrible battle, and both sides suffered terrible casualties. However, Candle Dragon used a few subguilds to wear down most of Warsky Alliance's firepower and ambushed Warsky Alliance's elite mages. Warsky may still have the City Lord Token, but Warsky Alliance won't be able to hold out for much longer. It's only a matter of time before they lose the City Lord Token. No matter how powerful the Longevity Blade is, it's just a weapon. It can't stand up to Candle Dragon's army and Candlelight Shadow's schemes.
I glanced at them. "Chengfeng, Little Gui, have you trained your Cyan Crystal Dragon and Dark Crystal Dragon to the level where you can ride them?"
"Just right. Level 107. I can ride them now!"
"Very good!"
Chaos Moon blinked once before asking, "What are you planning to do, Lu Chen?"
I stared into the distance and sucked in a deep breath. "Candlelight Shadow humiliated Moonlight, trampled on the dignity of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and even declared war on us. Since that's the case, we must give Candle Dragon a big present. Mobilize 50% of our Dragonlight Cavalry and Dragonlight Archers immediately. We will launch a long-distance assault on Golden City and crush the backbone of Candle Dragon's forces. I don't care who takes Golden City, I will not allow it to fall into Candlelight Shadow's hands. The time to take revenge for Moonlight and the Tiger Leopard Cavalry has come. Tell Candle Dragon that we will not tolerate their bullying of our friends!"
