"Warsky Alliance, heed my command!"
The Longevity Blade glowed with green light, but Warsky didn't falter in the face of Gods of Destruction's counterattack. He shouted, "Mages, archers, priests, stay where you are and don't move! Tamers, summon your pet protectors, archers, and all mounted players, use your eighth-promotion skills to end the battle as soon as possible! I'll defend the gates and kill all the Gods of Destruction players inside the city!"
Thud!
Warsky landed on the arrow mound on the city wall and jumped down. He summoned his mount in midair and stomped on the ground with it. His Longevity Saber cut through a group of Mad Purgatory Dragon players with Cyan Tiger Shatter. Warsky stood on the moat bridge and grinned. "Come on, sons of bitches! Come and step over my dead body if you dare!"
… …
Warsky activated Great Earth Transformation and faced the countless Mad Purgatory Dragon players on his own. Thousand Ton Break + Barrier Break + Penetration hit his chest in an instant, but Warsky's Defense was incredibly high. Even though his HP dropped to 25% in an instant, the Longevity Blade didn't kill him. Moreover, there were plenty of priests on the walls who were healing him, so Warsky didn't budge an inch despite being surrounded by more than 20 players. This was the power of the Longevity Blade.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Green energy surrounded Warsky's metal armor. It was a skill similar to my Battle Energy Astral Wind, and it greatly reduced passive damage taken. It was one of the special effects of the Longevity Blade, and it regenerated both Defense and HP at the same time. This was its true power.
"Kill! Kill Warsky!"
Wang Dongliang's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Archers, use Mountain Stagger Arrow! Mages, use Divine Break! Fuck, we Mad Purgatory Dragon will be humiliated if we don't kill Warsky today!"
Warsky swung his blade and counterattacked with Flowing Light Slash, Lava Rage Slash, and more. At the same time, he laughed savagely. "A bunch of mobs trying to kill me? Dream on!"
At this moment, Warsky indeed had the strength to be arrogant.
All sorts of Fireballs and arrows rained down on Warsky's armor, forcing him to retreat. However, the moment the six-second cooldown was over, Warsky used Cyan Tiger Shatter, Explosion Slash, and other skills to kill a dozen or so players and reclaim his position a few meters away. As expected, he was overpowered to defend the moat bridge by himself.
Countless priests were healing Warsky at the top of the city walls. It was the reason why Warsky was still standing.
Profound Puff raised his head and pointed at the walls. "Archers, use Shock Arrows to kill the priests on the walls! Let's see how Warsky holds out! Aim your projectiles and shoot those priests!" Dark Puff shouted.
Countless Warsky Alliance priests died on top of the city walls, and as a result, a group of Cyan Qilin Cavalry was sent to protect the priests in front of them with shields. Otherwise, all of their previous efforts would have been for nothing.
…
"Should we do it now?"
Gui Guzi asked when we were a kilometer away from the city walls.
Holding Coldness of the Nine States, I smiled. "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's wait until the fight is almost over. No matter what, Warsky definitely won't be able to hold the City Lord's Token. Let's see who can take it next. Hehe, the City Lord's Token of Golden City is such a hot potato.
"Yeah, we don't have a lot of people. We don't have a 100% chance of winning even with 170k players. The main problem is that the Dragonlight Cavalry has died too many times, and we don't have enough tanks. Our archers and mages can't charge into the city without a vanguard."
"Let's wait patiently. It'll be over soon."
"Yeah!"
… …
In the end, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' 170k players waited outside the city for almost 4 hours, and there was still no clear victor. Warsky's equipment was almost completely destroyed after he used recovery potions on it. He had been guarding the city's moat bridge alone for 4 hours, and the players of Mad Purgatory Dragon wanted to eat him alive. Unfortunately, Hall of Immortality's recovery speed was godlike, and they couldn't kill him until the very end.
Another two hours or so later, we started clearing out the players of Mad Purgatory Dragon and Warsky Alliance. They were enemies, so there was no need to hold back. Let's get some equipment first.
I saw Luo River God of the Capital, Moonkiss, and about 5000 Purple Lily players walking toward us from the west. She looked like she was exhausted, but Warsky Alliance's firepower was too strong for them to break through the city gates.
"What do you think?" I asked with a smile.
Wang Luo glared at me. "Why do I hate your smile so much? Lu Chen, you little brat. You're already in such a sorry state here, so why don't you go to the west and help me break a city gate or something? I'm sure you're strong enough to break a city gate, but I don't have a super-tier cavalry general like you."
I shrugged. "I don't have a choice. I'm a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and I can't participate in other guilds' military activities. You have to understand me. Also, I was busy fighting Dark Mercenaries, so I didn't have time to attack Golden City …"
Moonkiss raised her dagger and asked, "Lu Chen, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls still has a lot of combat power, and it's likely that Golden City will belong to them in the end. What do you plan to do? Take Golden City for yourself, give it to us, your allies, or sell it?"
I licked my lips. "That depends on what Peach Garden's Indigo Collar has to say. Peach Garden and Purple Lily are both our allies, and I'd rather strengthen you than let Golden City fall to Warsky Alliance. I'm sure you know what I'm thinking."
"Yes, we know."
Wang Luo smiled. "How about this, I'll discuss it with Indigo Collar. If we really manage to get Golden City, sell it to Purple Lily. I'll compensate for the losses in the battle at Peach Garden."
"Mn, good!"
… …
I looked at Golden City and saw that the battle was raging. I said, "We'll start in 60 minutes. No matter who has the City Lord Token, we'll take it!"
Everyone nodded.
Inside the city, Warsky Alliance had wiped out almost all of Gods of Destruction's players after several hours of battle. Farewell Song had also killed Dominating Heaven Blade, and Dominating Warrior God and Dominating Knight God had tried to solo Warsky, but they had been killed just the same. The difference in strength was just too big, especially when Warsky had the Longevity Blade. His Attack was way higher than Warsky's.
The Mad Purgatory Dragon players entered the city and engaged in melee combat. Both sides had lost a lot of players, and many had died.
After waiting for 60 minutes, I jumped onto the dragon's back and pointed my sword at Golden City. I smiled and said, "Brothers, let's go!"
A group of players who had been ready for a long time charged together. Murong Mingyue had also brought over 10k Dragonlight Cavalrymen to strengthen our frontline. The 15k Dragonlight Cavalry easily broke through the Mad Purgatory Dragon's defense line and entered the city.
I raised Coldness of the Nine States and fired Burning Blade Slash. Three flaming sword auras killed almost a hundred players. An archer inside the city turned pale. "Fuck, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has made a move! Brothers, run! Lu Chen is coming to take the city …"
At the distance, Warsky gripped his Longevity Saber and shouted, "Lu Chen and Li Chengfeng are coming! Brothers, hold onto the City Lord Token and gather at the smithy! We'll defend against Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' forces!"
It didn't take long for the remaining 50k Warsky Alliance players to gather together and form a shield formation. It looked like it was going to be difficult to break through, but the main problem was that none of us had any Divine Energy Points left. If we had Xuanyuan Slash and Scarlet Heaven Slash, there was a 100% chance that Warsky would've fallen to his knees!
… …
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Little Piglet was buffed by the power of his Divine Weapon and riding on the wind. When he saw Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, his face turned green. "Guild leader, how are we supposed to fight? Lu Chen is leading Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' main force into the city, and there's no way we can fight them at all. Why don't we retreat and let Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls deal with the remaining forces of Warsky Alliance …"
Wang Dongliang raised his sword. "No, the arrow is nocked on the bowstring, and there's no choice but to fire it. Don't worry about Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Let's continue to attack Warsky Alliance's remaining forces. Brother Chao and Iron Pardon have returned with 140k players, and they'll reach Golden City in an hour. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls only has a few hundred thousand players, and we outnumber them by almost three times. We can definitely take Golden City!"
"Alright, it's up to you …"
Little Piglet lowered his sword and spurred his mount toward the enemy formation in the distance. He was a man who was as swift as the wind and fearless of arrows.
… …
"Attack!"
Both sides clashed, and the battle grew even more intense. The smithy looked like a slaughterhouse as blood flowed like a river. Wang Dongliang Alliance might only have 50k players, but they were all elites. Their counterattack was incredibly powerful, and Wang Dongliang's nearly 200k troops weren't able to shake them in the slightest.
I gripped my sword and charged toward the rear of the Mad Purgatory Dragon's formation. Wang Dongliang's decision to attack Warsky Alliance was exactly what I wanted. If I could use this opportunity to greatly weaken the Mad Purgatory Dragon's forces, it would be very beneficial to our subsequent battles.
Two Dragon Knights flew over my head as Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi happily harvested their event points.
As I attacked, I paid attention to the equipment on the ground. I picked up all the Little Jewels. My luck was so high that the players I killed had a high chance of dropping equipment. Screams of pain rang out as my bag filled up. In the short span of two hours, my bag of 1000 slots already had 850 + pieces of equipment. The only thing I was lacking was potions.
… …
"We don't have much time left. Roaming Dragon and his men have attacked our rear, and we've suffered great losses …" Li Chengfeng said from the air.
I nodded. "Chengfeng, you and Little Gui will hold the rear with some men. Lian Xin, Beiming, Chaos Moon, and Fighting Spirits will take care of the matter of obtaining the City Lord's Token!"
"Alright, we have to get the City Lord's Token and sell it for some money to pay our electricity bills!"
"Got it!"
Wang Luo: "..."
