Celestial Realm's horsemen were charging toward us. They brandished their swords and spurred their mounts forward. Even from afar, I could see that they were already gathering their strength. Were they planning to use Thousand Ton Break to break through the Dragonlight Cavalry's formation?
What a joke! That would only deal 1000 damage to each of them!
"Prepare for the charge!"
I lowered my body slightly. Before the first wave of cavalry arrived, I twisted my wrist and activated Nine Continents' Ice. The cavalry in front of me was immediately frozen. The players at the back were trampled and squeezed against each other. It was a complete mess. I lowered my body slightly.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes waved her scepter and shouted, "Open fire!"
Countless skills like Touch of the Dragonkiss and Galaxy Storms formed a barricade 100 to 150 yards below the walls!
Grief of the Dark was completely enraged. He had underestimated the firepower of our ranged players, and he was paying the price for it. Almost 50k holy mages were attacking at the same time, and the enemy Iron Rhinoceros Cavalry were dying in droves. Moreover, Beiming Xue and her Dragonlight Archers were stunning them with Shock Arrows, leaving a large number of cavalry in the middle of the barricade. The number of people on the Nation War interface in front of the Fortress of the Iron Halberd was jumping wildly!
… …
There were only a handful of players who managed to break through the barricade. No one knew how many Olympus cavalry had died to the holy mages' magic. All they knew was that Lian Xin was ranked second on the China server's Nation War leaderboard. She was only slightly behind me because I had the Xuanyuan Art, which dealt 70% HP. Not even top-tier mages could compete with me in terms of HP!
"I'm going to kill you!"
A group of low-health Olympus cavalry charged in front of us, but they were cut down before they could finish their words.
Time passed little by little, and a whole 9 minutes later, the enemy's Fire Catapults finally arrived at a super close range and engulfed the Dragonlight Cavalry in flames. The enemy archers had also reached the city walls and were firing Shock Arrows at us. This increased the pressure on us to a certain extent, and the situation wasn't as dire as it had been before.
"Hold the line!!"
Gui Guzi shouted while holding his Ghost Blade Halberd. At the same time, he spread his bloody wings and healed all the low-health players on the frontline with a Taste of Grass.
I summoned my little wolf and swept the area. My sword flashed coldly and I used the Xuanyuan Art. Instantly, all of the God Realm players lost 70% of their HP while my points skyrocketed. With less than 30% of their HP left, how could they withstand the attacks of a Holy Mage? In the blink of an eye, the situation was already on the verge of collapse.
Grief of the Dark kept summoning icicles to kill our low-health Dragonlight Cavalrymen. In less than half an hour, at least hundreds of Dragonlight Cavalrymen had died to his magic. His movement was incredibly precise, and he kept dodging Li Chengfeng, Lian Xin and I's attacks from time to time while dealing damage to the frontline.
… …
"No, we can't let Grief of the Dark continue to wreak havoc like this!" He Yi shouted in the guild channel.
I nodded. "Yeah, let's work together. Chengfeng, heal yourself to full health, charge forward, and circle around from the back. We'll force Grief of the Dark to use Blink. If he does, I'll use Charge to break his Magic Shield. Beiming's Shock Arrow must arrive the moment his Magic Shield breaks, and Eve will land the killing blow. Do you hear me?"
"Got it. I'm on my way!"
Li Chengfeng flew into the fire net with his Green Peak Halberd in hand. The next moment, he looked like a war god as he swung his halberd horizontally like a dragon and swallowed Grief of the Dark's back. I couldn't help but praise his skill. There were only a handful of people in the world who could use a sword and a spear to such an extent, and Li Chengfeng just so happened to be one of them!
"Oh no!"
Grief of the Dark, who was in the middle of creating icicles, hurriedly activated Milky Way and used Blink!
Swhoosh!
Lightning rained down on him, and I locked onto his landing spot with Thunderous Charge. Then, I swung my sword horizontally and hit the enemy's Magic Shield with Burning Blade Slash. Grief of the Dark used his scepter to parry the attack and slid dozens of meters backward before rolling into the crowd. What a smart guy. He knew how to escape in a muddy water.
Unfortunately for him, Li Chengfeng and I weren't the only two hunters he had to face. There was another beautiful hunter in the distance!
Grief of the Dark shuddered before he could fully enter the crowd. Without a Magic Shield, he was hit by a Shock Arrow and stunned for 2.1 seconds!
"Quick, protect the boss!" A group of Olympus players panicked.
A giant dragon roared in the sky as He Yi descended from the sky on her Snow Crystal Dragon. Her Fiery Suppressing Sword glowed brilliantly as storms swirled around the beautiful boss's breasts. She quickly swung her sword and hit Grief of the Dark with Storm Slash + Storm Break. Four hits later, Grief of the Dark's HP was gone in an instant. He collapsed with a groan and dropped a helmet and a pair of boots.
"Ding!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "From Water" (China) has successfully killed the Heroic Bannerman "Grief of the Dark" (USA) and obtained 10% of his Nation War contribution points — 52871!
The eyes of the Olympus players nearly popped out of their sockets. No one had expected this result.
… …
I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and growled, "Counterattack! Don't go more than 300 yards away from the city! Surround them completely! Dragonlight Cavalry, come out! Don't hold anything back!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes jumped down from the city walls with her scepter in hand. Her long, white legs looked absolutely mesmerizing as she landed on the ground. She stared at the drooling Dragonlight Cavalry and spat, "Attack!
All Blazing Hot Lips cavalry, charge with me! Let's kill the remnants of Olympus's army! "
The city gates opened wide, and countless players rushed out of the city. In the blink of an eye, battle cries filled the air.
Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, and He Yi each led a party to cut off the enemy's retreat. There were only a couple of small guilds waiting to reinforce Olympus, so they couldn't pose a fatal threat to us.
Olympus was leaderless once more after Grief of the Dark was killed. In fact, a lot of players even used their return scrolls to teleport back to the city, but most of them were killed by the Dragonlight Cavalry, Holy Mages, and Dragonlight Archers. High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, Du Thirteen, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun were incredibly fierce and merciless.
In less than two hours, Olympus had suffered a crushing defeat!
The ground was covered in smoke, corpses, equipment, and potions. At the distance, another super guild of the Northern Alliance was bearing down on us again. I hurriedly raised my sword and said, "Everyone, retreat to the city walls! Don't loot the battlefield!"
Everyone simply picked up some equipment and retreated.
… …
I landed on the city walls and stared at the corpses strewn across the plains in front of Fortress of the Iron Halberd. I couldn't help but sigh. Olympus was the number one guild of Titan City, and it was a shame that they were wiped out just like that.
"2,240,000 people are gone, just like that …" Stranger of Three Lifetimes chuckled softly. "It looks like they're planning to wear us down one by one. They're going to let the God World fight us first, and then let the others fight us later. But I bet the Northern Alliance didn't expect the God World to be so weak!"
"Who said they were weak …" I curled my lips. "Chaos Moon, how many casualties did we suffer?"
Chaos Moon nodded. "We lost over 54000 Black Wolf Cavalrymen, 4000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen, and 2000 Saint Mages and Dragonlight Archers in total. In total, we lost over 100k players."
"What about you guys, Momo?" I asked.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes let out a sigh of relief. "We lost about twice as many people as you did. About 200k, right? We traded 300k for 2.24 million, so it's a pretty good deal. It's hard to attack a city, but it's easier to defend it than to attack a city. That's the truth … Also, we destroyed a lot of Magic Crystal Tanks and Fire Catapults, forcing Olympus's supplies away from the city. Not bad."
I stared into the distance and said, "Olympus underestimated their enemy. I'm afraid their next opponent won't be so easy to deal with."
"Who's our next opponent?"
"They're here, aren't they?" I pointed into the distance.
A tidal wave of players was approaching us from the plains. All of them had the same emblem on their shoulders — Blood Soul, the UK server's number two guild.
At the front of the Blood Soul army was a general riding a green dragon with a battle axe. He was a Dragon Knight, and he was none other than the guild leader of Blood Soul, the Soul Slayer. He was a legendary expert with the SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Odin's Slash. He was another tough opponent.
"Blood Soul is here …"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes tightened her grip on her scepter and said, "They're going to wear us down one by one. They're going to be invincible …"
He Yi frowned and said, "But I'm confused. Why do they have to attack us one by one? Maybe three to five guilds attacking us at the same time would be more effective if they didn't give us a chance to catch our breath."
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "There's definitely something fishy going on."
"What should we do then?"
"Send some people to patrol Dragonbone Mountain Range and keep a close eye on them. Don't let them circle around Dragonbone Mountain Range and attack our main city directly. That would be the equivalent of an ambush," I said.
He Yi chuckled. "Don't worry about that. Our subguilds have already sent out a lot of people to patrol the big map. It's almost impossible for them to ambush us."
"That's good …"
… …
"Wait a second … what's that …" Beiming Xue narrowed her eyes as she stared into the distance.
Everyone was shocked.
The distance was covered in mist, and it was just before nightfall. However, the sound of gigantic figures stomping on the ground could be heard clearly. Were they giants?
I rubbed my eyes and said, "I'm going over to take a look!"
I rose from the ground and quickly flew above the Blood Alliance players. I finally got a good look at them. They were giants, and they were holding heavy stone spikes in their hands. They weren't players' pets either, but NPCs. They were ancient Immortal Rank bosses, Mountain Giants!
How is this possible? Why are NPCs helping us attack a city?
I No Understand couldn't help it.
Suddenly, a small voice came from the middle of the mountain giants. "Little darlings, destroy the city in front of us!
Avenge our king! "
It was an ugly dwarf whose body could only be hugged. Moreover, it belonged to Hot Sand City, the city that was conquered by us —
[Dwarf Tamer Rodin] (Quasi God Rank Boss)
