I brought up the world map and confirmed the coordinates of the seven Dragon Cannons. After that, I made a map of a 1000-yard radius around them. Once everything was confirmed, I turned around and said to Lin Yixin, Stranger of Three Lifetimes, Luo River God of the Capital, Ling Xueshang and the other guild leaders, "Give me shared control of your guilds!"
"What?" Stranger of Three Lifetimes asked.
"You'll know soon enough …"
"Ugh, I despise you …"
Very quickly, the few guilds got the rights to share. I opened up the system interface and under the image sharing mode, I waved my arm. In the vast canyon in front of me, seven circular blood-colored shields rose up and shot into the sky. It was really eye-catching.
I smiled and said, "The red zone is the range of the Dragon Cannons. We'll start the battle immediately, but no one is allowed to enter the red zone. We'll lure the NPC army out one by one and then let them enter the range of the Dragon Cannons one by one. That way, we won't suffer too many losses."
Purple Marquis's eyes widened. "Holy shit, why can't we think of something that Lu Chen can think of?"
Lin Yixin pouted. "I was so eager to contribute that I forgot …"
Nangong Lexi: "…"
…
I raised the Xuan-Yuan Sword and pointed it forward. I said with a smile, "Yeah, let's start the attack. Let's clear out this NPC army first. That Wind Armor King is an ancient Immortal Rank boss, so he might be a bit tricky to deal with. But don't worry, everyone, let's attack together and beat the old master to death!"
Xu Yang's eyes darkened. "Lu Chen, there are a lot of Swallow's Ear Commandery players outside the canyon. It looks like they're here to protect the Dragon Cannon. What should we do?
Red Maple is one of them … "
"Who will stop Red Maple?" I asked.
"Normal people can't stop Red Maple …" He Yi's words hit the nail on the head.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Chengfeng raised his Azure Peak Halberd and said, "I'll go. I'm familiar with Red Maple, and his equipment is still in my bag. However, you have to give me Lu Buyi. With that 225% boost to all Attributes, I'm confident that I can challenge the combination of Red Maple, Blue Frost, and Purple Thunder."
"Mm. Then, Chengfeng and Buyi will take 50,000 men and set up a defense at the canyon entrance. Block Red Maple and the others. Hold the fort for two to three hours, and the battle here will almost be over."
"En!"
Li Chengfeng turned around and left.
Luo River God of the Capital's eyes widened. "That …"
"What, Sister Wang Luo?" He Yi asked.
Luo River God of the Capital pursed her red lips. "I don't think it's fair of us to do this … We fought so hard in the Swallow's Ear Prefecture, and everyone in the entire server knows that a major battle has broken out near the Swallow's Ear Prefecture, but … but Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, Pop Culture, Flower Room, and Hall of Immortality haven't done anything at all. Don't you think it's strange?"
I gritted my teeth and said, "Forget it. This is a war that was triggered by a quest of our guild's higher-ups. Maybe Candle Dragon and Warsky Alliance didn't want to get involved, so they didn't do anything about it. It doesn't matter. We're strong enough to complete this campaign!
After all, we can't always rely on others. "
Wang Luo nodded. "Actually, I'm not saying that I need Candlelight Shadow and Warsky's help. I just think that they're being a little too unkind. If Candle Dragon or Warsky Alliance were in this kind of situation, I'm sure Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls would've sent reinforcements already, right?"
"Don't worry about it. We're killing NPCs, we'll get experience …"
"Alright, what a heartless kid. You're really living a carefree and carefree life …"
Me: "..."
…
He Yi pointed her sword to the front and shouted, "Kill them!"
The Dragonlight Cavalry charged forward and clashed with the NPC cavalry. At the same time, the mages and archers in the rear quickly followed up with their attacks. The Dragonlight Archers under Lin Yixin's command had a very high stun rate, and almost all of the NPCs were stunned.
Lian Xin and Beiming Xue stood together at the back of the first line of defense. One bow and one magic, they formed a super offensive defensive line for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Even the ancient NPCs couldn't withstand their firepower and were killed in droves. At the same time, they were rewarded with a lot of experience even though they couldn't level up...
"You're courting death!"
Wind Armor leaped into the middle of the Dragonlight Cavalry and attacked them head-on. His sword left a long trail of flames in its wake, and he dealt 12 million damage in total. Five Dragonlight Cavalrymen were one-shot in an instant. The level gap was too big, and they didn't have powerful equipment. They couldn't withstand a Level 330 ancient Immortal Rank boss!
"Wow, a Level 330 boss sure is fierce …" Purple Marquis laughed.
I spun my sword and threw it at the Wind Armor Legion. A spiraling blade pierced through his body and dealt over 2 million damage. I immediately pulled the Wind Armor Legion's aggro toward me and shouted, "Yiyi, Beiming, Eve, Little Xin, let's focus our attacks on him first. Sis, Moon Dew, take care of the healers, and I'll be the tank …"
Charge!
Swhoosh!
I stunned the Wind Armor. He wasn't a Divine Rank boss after all, so his resistance against me wasn't too high. I followed up with Burning Blade Slash + War Crush combo and sent the Wind Armor howling in anger. He raised his sword and was just about to attack me when Beiming Xue's Shock Arrow stunned him. Lin Yixin didn't waste any time on cooldown and immediately used Thunderstorm. The sky immediately darkened as lightning and storms rained down from the sky. A bunch of NPCs screamed in pain.
"Dragonslayer Archers, focus your attacks on the boss! Let's see how fast we can kill him!" Lin Yixin shouted as she executed Triple Slash.
Lian Xin also said with a smile, "Holy mages of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, use Touch of the Dragonkiss to kill this Japanese NPC! Let's show him the power of China's Magic Legion!"
It was easy to imagine what would happen if two ace legions attacked together.
Wind Armor was pinned down by me and hit with God Binding Art. He couldn't move at all, so a barrage of Armor-Piercing Arrows and Touch of the Dragonkiss rained down on him.
“82736！”
“47599！”
“56298！”
… …
Everyone was able to break through Purple Frost's Defense and deal tens of thousands of damage, sometimes hundreds of thousands or even millions of damage. However, Wind Armor's HP hit rock bottom in less than a minute!
"Dammit, my monarch will avenge me!
And my two distant brothers, I will definitely kill you to wash away the shame of my life! Just you wait! "
Wind Armor dropped to his knees after uttering those words. I slowly pulled out my sword and thanked the heavens that I was the one who landed the last hit on him. Tsk tsk, I got a lot of experience from that...
As an enemy NPC, the Wind Armor dropped 3 Ancient Immortal-grade items and gave them to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya. Our attention wasn't on a single NPC, so we continued to push forward. At the same time, we could see a lot of Japanese players swarming into the canyon and entering the area protected by the Dragon Cannon. It wasn't hard to predict that the upcoming battle would be incredibly fierce.
… …
Half an hour later, we cleared out all the NPCs at the perimeter of the valley. Wind Armor's hundreds of thousands of NPCs had become our experience, but he couldn't last more than a minute, let alone the rest of the NPCs.
"How are we going to do this?" Lin Yixin asked.
I pointed to the left and said, "Yiyi, take Snowy Cathaya and take out that Dragon Cannon. Sister Wang Luo, take out the one next to it. Momo and Ling Xueshang, take out the last one. Leave the other three to us, but be careful. Don't cross the firing range of two or even three Dragon Cannons, or you'll die a horrible death!"
"We know …" The girls looked pale. Everyone knew what kind of terrible situation they were in.
… …
After everyone dispersed, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' 200k players or so were left at the center of the valley. I looked around and shouted, "Spread out and fan out! Let's take out the first Dragon Cannon first! Don't gather too closely at the front, and spread out to attract the Dragon Cannon's attention. Let's rely on the ranged players at the back to push forward. Send a couple of high-level tacticians and buff them with Range, and the Dragonlight Archers should have a range of 500 yards or so. Use Far Shot to hit a target 800 yards away, and we'll push forward step by step and minimize our losses!"
"Mn, let's go!" Gui Guzi said excitedly.
Du Thirteen was also riding the Dragonscale Beast. He asked, "Should we follow Lu Chen and charge forward?"
I thought for a moment before replying, "No, no … I'm wearing the CGL Hall of Famer and the MVP mark of the WEL. They'll definitely try to kill me with their Dragon Cannons. I'll distract the Dragon Cannons while the rest of you attack from all sides. But don't get too close to me …"
He Yi covered her mouth and giggled. "Lu Chen is the type to stay away from strangers now."
"Mn, it's time to attack!
Remember, spread out and don't let them kill you all in one shot! "
Everyone laughed as they spread out and charged into the red zone marked on the map. When we entered the red zone, we saw the Dragon Cannon 800 meters away from us. It was in the middle of forging wheels, so it couldn't move, but it could attack. Moreover, the area within several hundred meters of the Dragon Cannon was packed with players and crowds. I couldn't help but miss Beauty Lin a little. If her Thunderstorm and my Xuanyuan Art worked together, the Japanese players would be crying right now. Killing ten thousand people in one go was no dream at all!
… …
I leaped into the air and watched He Yi, Gui Guzi, Du Thirteen, Xu Yang and the others charge toward me from several hundred meters above the ground. I smiled and dove straight toward the Dragon Cannon!
Swhoosh!
I was so fast that I slammed my sword into the Dragon Cannon's barrel. I activated the Xuanyuan Art and dealt 70% of all enemies within 1000 yards of me, which happened to be the Dragon Cannon's range. All the players around me were left with 30% HP, and the priests couldn't even heal them back to full health.
I opened my palm and unleashed Call of the Wind and Rain + Ten Thousand Absolute Sword. At least a thousand players were killed in an instant, and everything within range of the Dragon Cannon had been cleared out.
On the ground, Gui Guzi and He Yi also unleashed Hundred Ghosts from the Heavens to clear out all targets within a hundred yards of them. He Yi used Storm Slash to kill them while they were down. There was no way a bunch of NPCs and players with only 30% HP could withstand the charge of our cavalry!
… …
Creaaak...
The Dragon Cannon rotated slowly and fired with a loud bang. Dozens of Dragonlight Cavalrymen in the distance were instantly blown to smithereens. Goddammit, I couldn't let this thing get out of here. Otherwise, it would only take two Dragon Crystal Cannons to blast the iron gates of Sky City to smithereens!
