At Wind Canyon, the other readers looked at it as if nothing had happened.
Snow fluttered in the air, and the snowflakes that looked like goose feathers landed on the ice-cold armor. Inside the canyon, a large number of players were looking forward with anxious gazes. Their swords had already been unsheathed, and they were trembling slightly in the cold wind. Unfortunately, the bustling crowd did not move at all.
The canyon was connected to Dawn City, and almost a million players from Thunder, Wings of Awakening, and Silver Soul were gathered at the entrance of the canyon. The other readers looked at it as if nothing had happened.
A magic knight wielding a blood-red spear rode at the front of the formation and leaped onto a nearby hill. Then, he raised his spear and shouted, "Everyone, listen to me! I am the guild leader of Thunder, Thunderbolt!"
The crowd quieted down a little.
Thunderbolt continued, "We've suffered a lot of casualties while defending Vanished God City and Wind City. Meanwhile, Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya, and other super guilds have already killed more than 70% of the enemy forces at Dawn City. If we charge into Dawn Valley now and take back Dawn City, what will the world think of us? What will the world say about us?
They'll think that we're just taking advantage of the situation. They'll call us cowards! "
Thunderflame swallowed his saliva and continued in a loud voice, "That's why, in times of chaos, a real man must do something. Dawn City is just a Tier 2 Main City, so what use is it?
In my opinion, we might as well attack Vietnam's tier 1 main city, Hot Sand City, or Korea's tier 1 main city, Burning City. If we take down a super main city, we'll have made a great contribution to the world, won't we? "
As expected, someone in the crowd responded to Thunderbolt's suggestion. It was the guild leader of a middle rank guild in Vanished God City. He raised his bow and said, "Thunderbolt, you have a point. If we attack Burning City and take their only super main city, our brothers and sisters will be able to eat and drink well. In fact … some of us might even be able to enter the CGL Hall of Fame, don't you think?"
Bewitched, many players were moved.
The leader of the Wings of Awakening, Bloody War God, also appeared beside Thunderbolt. He raised his longsword and said, "The Wings of Awakening has 18000 Fire Lizard Cavalrymen. We are willing to be the vanguard to attack Burning City and deal a heavy blow to the Bangzi. While their forces are still in Dawn City, we will be attacking an empty city!"
"That's right!"
It was the leader of the Argent Immortal Soul — Zhanfeng. He spurred his horse forward and shouted, "Our Argent Immortal Soul's 20,000 Ice Leopard Cavalry are also willing to pave the way for everyone. Our Avengers Alliance will attack the enemy's nest and dig up their ancestral graves. That is what we call the Avengers Alliance, right?

Finally, the crowd responded. The players, who were glowing with red light, waved their weapons and laughed. "Let's go! Let's go for revenge! Let's get back our China server's dignity! Let's tell those bastards that we're not people who don't retaliate when they hit us!"
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three flaming sword beams exploded in the middle of the crowd and created a vacuum in the blink of an eye. I pointed to the west and said, "Candlelight Shadow, take your men and charge from here. It's less than 20 meters deep. Even if you're a pussy, you should be able to get out!"
Candlelight Shadow looked to the front and nodded. "Thanks, Lu Chen!
Brothers and sisters, follow me! Let's kill our way out! "
In reality, Candle Dragon didn't have many people left. Tempest Shadow and several hundred cavalrymen were the only ones who followed Candlelight Shadow's lead. However, they were all elites, so they definitely wouldn't have a problem getting out.
Hot and Sour Noodles stained his battle robes with blood. He looked at me excitedly and said, "Very good, our mission is complete. Lu Chen, let's counterattack and pierce through the Northern Alliance's defense line in one fell swoop. What do you think?"
I grabbed him and tossed him behind me. Then, I growled, "Take a break, uncle. Let me do it!"
Hot and Sour Noodles laughed loudly. He looked at the less than two hundred Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen around him and shouted, "My life has not been in vain!"
… …
"Dragonlight Cavalry, charge!"
I raised my sword high into the air and led Gui Guzi, He Yi, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, and the rest of the Northern Alliance's charge. Their faces were red and their eyes were red as they watched their companions fall one by one. The only way to vent this anger was to kill them all.
We suffered terrible losses as we fought our way back to the city. By the time we reached the city walls, there were less than two hundred of us left. There were 155 Dragonlight Cavalrymen, and only 37 of the 1500 Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen that Hot and Sour Noodles had brought back with him. They had almost been annihilated. The rest of the readers looked normal:
"Big bro and the others are back!" Beiming Xue pointed down from the city walls and said, "Open the gates and provide cover fire!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes and the other mages hurriedly used Galaxy Storms to cleanse the area around the city gates. After that, we entered the city in a single file. The Northern Alliance cavalry that tried to chase after us were killed by a sea of flames and Galaxy Storms. Stranger of Three Lifetimes and the others had very high Magic Attack, so there was no one who could withstand dozens of Galaxy Storms at the same time.
After I entered the city, I climbed up the walls again and stared at the Northern Alliance players who were attacking the city from afar. At the same time, I saw a group of players breaking out of the encirclement and entering Dawn Valley. They were heading straight for the Avengers at an incredible speed.
Hot and Sour Noodles raised his sword and smiled. "Alright, this should be enough. The Martial God will definitely be able to rally everyone once he's here. There's no need to doubt that Candlelight Shadow's rallying power in the China server."
He Yi frowned. "Not necessarily. If the Martial God's rallying power was strong enough, this wouldn't have happened. Don't tell me that the guild leaders of Thunder, Wings of Awakening, and Silver Soul are all noobs who don't know how to fight their way back to Dawn City without the Martial God's guidance."
I smiled and put an arm around He Yi's shoulder. "Don't worry too much, Eve. Look on the bright side. The Avengers are players from Vanished God City and Wind City, so they're on our side. What else do they want if they don't help us attack Dawn City?
Unless their brains were kicked in by a donkey! "
Chaos Moon tilted her head and shot me a glance. "You must be tired of living for flirting with the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls in front of everyone. Be careful, or we'll throw you off the city walls …"
He Yi's beautiful face was covered in a happy smile. "Who would dare?"
Chaos Moon curled her lips. "It's over. They've already fallen …"
Everyone burst into laughter.
(Why does Ye always use the phrase "a bunch of people laughing" but not "haha"?
It's not that we're lacking in language, you know what I mean …)
Boom, boom, boom...
Giant, flaming rocks smashed into the city walls and shook them continuously. It wasn't long before frightening cracks appeared on the second city wall as well. It looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. While we were hacking away at the city walls, we noticed that the number of players around us was decreasing. Everyone else was just watching as normal.
Our numbers were decreasing rapidly, and we received news that the second city walls had already fallen in the other three directions. Right now, a melee battle had broken out inside the city walls.
"We can't hold on much longer …"
Hot and Sour Noodles stared at the system interface and said, "Fuck, there's still 10 hours until the Nation War is over. Are we really going to fail in these last 10 hours?"
I shook my head. "Absolutely not. Let's keep fighting!"
It was at this moment Beiming Xue pointed to the west and said, "Look, the Avengers are moving! Wow, they're finally coming to Dawn City's aid!"
He Yi shook her head. "No, they're not going in the right direction!"
Chaos Moon also nodded. "They're not coming to Dawn City, they're … Fuck, these bastards, they're going to Windy Trail! What are they trying to do?!"
Hot and Sour Noodles hurriedly turned on the communicator and yelled at the top of his lungs, "What the fuck are you doing, Fang Zhuo?
Why are the Avengers going to Windy Trail?! "
I didn't know what Candlelight Shadow had said.
"Patter …"
Hot and Sour Noodles's face was deathly pale as he abruptly sat down on a pile of bloody arrows. His eyes were unfocused as he said, "Animals!
These animals … "
"What's going on, uncle?" I crouched down and asked.
Zhang Chun clenched his fists and looked at me. "I'm sorry, Lu Chen. I failed to fulfill my promise …"
"What's going on?" I felt my heart tremble.
"Thunder, Wings of Awakening, and Silver Soul kidnapped Candlelight Shadow and forced him to lead the Avengers to ambush Korea's main city, Burning City …"
"Fuck!" I abruptly rose to my feet and threw my sword to the ground. My eyes were bloodshot. "What the hell is this?
We've resisted for so long and lost so many brothers! What the hell is this?
Thunder, Wings of Awakening, and Silver Soul? What do they think we are?
Motherf * cker!
Is Candlelight Shadow trash?
How can a Martial God like him be kidnapped?
Why didn't he fight back? What the hell is this? "
He Yi said indifferently, "Let's fight for the credit. Maybe Candlelight Shadow has acquiesced …"
Hot and Sour Noodles rose to his feet dejectedly and picked up his sword. He looked like he had aged several years in an instant. He said in a low voice, "No matter what, we fought with our lives and tried our best. Let's keep fighting!"
I stood there in a daze.
Next to me, there was a loud crack, and the entire city wall began to crumble. Players cursed and screamed in pain. Did we really lose this time?
… …
The Northern Alliance began their fierce assault, and they reached the northern city wall in almost an instant.
I didn't know how I made it all the way back to the capital. I looked up and saw the last line of defense, the palace of Dawn City. The walls of the palace were invincible and indestructible, and a sky-blue barrier had appeared at the entrance. It was the result of countless court mages working together to cast a spell, and it was also the last line of defense the NPCs could muster.
"Even the Life Barrier has appeared …"
Hot and Sour Noodles stared at the barrier behind him and said indifferently, "Maybe we still have a chance. The Life Barrier is very difficult to break, and entering it will grant you the last bit of protection. However, there is no way out once you enter the barrier, and you'll have to pay a terrible price if you want to leave. Everyone else, just watch."
Gui Guzi asked, "What's the price?"
"You'll lose 30 levels!" Hot and Sour Noodles said in a heavy tone.
Everyone was shocked. Hot and Sour Noodles smiled sadly and said, "That's why we shouldn't enter the Life Barrier until the last moment."
… …
The mountains and rivers of my hometown were crushed by the thundering hooves of horses. A large number of Northern Alliance players were marching toward the front of the palace, and Vienna's Sorrow was standing at the very front. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was surrounded by at least a million Northern Alliance players.
After nearly half an hour of intense fighting, the mages, archers, assassins, priests, and warriors had been slaughtered almost to the last man. There were less than a hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen left behind me.
Everyone stood there in a daze. How were they supposed to hold the palace gate when there were less than a thousand of them?
"Have we lost?" Chaos Moon murmured as the fighting spirit in her eyes slowly faded away.
High Fighting Spirits also lowered his warhammer as he stood in place, completely speechless.
Everyone knew that the loss of almost twenty million Avengers players meant that Dawn City had fallen.
… …
Swhoosh!
I raised the Cyan Netherworld Sword in front of my chest and rode to the front of the army. I looked back at the Northern Alliance's orderly formation and smiled at everyone. "Brothers and sisters, this is the final battle. Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your lives, or do you want to be a hero, even if it's only for a few minutes?"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Everyone unsheathed their weapons with determination in their eyes.
