"Pooh! Fans like to read:!"
Little Piglet turned around and rode away, his voice echoing in the air. "How dare you, a Divine General, bully a mere Famous General like me! Just wait for our army to trample your city!
Oh … no, maybe it'll be Eternal Wither. Whatever, I'm doing this for money … "
The people on the walls laughed loudly. Little Piglet was a very conflicted person. He loved money as much as his life, but he was also very strong. The only reason Li Chengfeng was able to bully him like this was because he was a Divine General. Otherwise, Li Chengfeng might not be able to beat Little Piglet by much. After all, Little Piglet's strength had been proven in the previous battle.
… …
At the distance, Hegemon Palace's main force was attacking while Mad Dragon and Flower Room were flanking them. Moreover, this wasn't their full force. There were almost a hundred smaller guilds working together to make a name for themselves. Right now, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was like the sun at high noon in Sky City, and they had shone brilliantly in the Nation Wars. It was only natural that many people would be jealous of them, and there were plenty of people who wanted to kill them. These days, people were under a lot of pressure, and they had nowhere to vent it. Human nature was far more twisted than we could imagine.
Li Chengfeng returned to the walls and curled his lips. "An army of 1.5 million? Hmm, this is a glorious move. How do you plan to break this, Lu Chen?"
I unsheathed my sword. "Simple. Charge out and kill them all!"
He Yi hurriedly stopped me. "Calm down, what kind of strategy is this …"
Beside him, Stranger of Three Lifetimes giggled and said, "We're definitely stronger than them. The Nation War in the Black Sea region is over, and all five of our guilds can log into the game now. We have 2 million players in total, which is even more than their numbers. Indeed, Lu Chen's method is a surefire way to win."
"But that's so boring …" Lin Yixin giggled. "I think we should send a couple of parties to the back and seal off Hegemon Palace, Flower Room, and Mad Dragon's escape route. Then, we can charge out together and force them to either return to the city or be killed. That's a better plan. As for returning to the city, hehe …"
Everyone knew that in the game, being killed to the point where they could only return to the city was a huge humiliation for a player. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to return to the city. This was the behavior of a coward. Of course, it was a different story when it came to strategy.
…
"Generally speaking …" He Yi pursed her lips as a look of determination appeared in her eyes. She said softly, "Actually, I'm in favor of leaving Hegemon Palace, Mad Dragon, and Flower Room at the bottom of the walls. Let them attack the city while we counterattack …"
"Why not, Sister Eve?" Lin Yixin asked in confusion.
He Yi giggled. "Do you remember?
Last time, Hall of Immortality, Throne Seeker, and Rose of the Holy Domain attacked Dark Moon City, and many of their players died in the battle. As a result, Dark Moon City leveled up two times in a row. War EXP is accumulated from the Soul Essences of the players who died in battle, and it's precisely because of this that the rewards for Dawn City's Nation War are far greater than those for the Black Sea Campaign. Therefore, the more enemies we kill outside the city, the better the rewards for Dark Moon City. What do you think, Yiyi? "
"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand now ~"
Lin Yixin said with a smile, "In that case, let's fight them outside the castle. We can also witness the defensive power of a Rank 9 castle while we're at it. Everyone else, just watch as normal:!"
"Yes."
… …
Inside the city, the Ghost Arrow Towers unique to Rank 9 Death Castles could be seen everywhere. The arrows they fired weren't normal arrows, but skeleton arrows that glowed with a blood-red light. It looked like they were imbued with undead energy, but only the flesh and blood of Hegemon Palace's players would know how powerful these arrows were.
I raised my sword high into the air and shouted, "Brothers and sisters of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and allied guilds, hold the gates tight! No one is allowed to leave the city! Elite cavalry, gather inside the city and prepare to launch a counterattack at a moment's notice! Archers and mages, prepare to replenish your supplies! Magic Consumables and potions can be found in the city! Repair your equipment and prepare to fight in ten minutes!"
Just as I predicted, ten minutes later, Wang Dongliang rode to the forefront and raised his sword high into the air. He laughed loudly and said, "Brothers and sisters, this world has never belonged to anyone! In this age of heroes, we will advance and retreat together! Defeat Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, take Dark Moon City, and fulfill our dreams of becoming kings!"
A bunch of Hegemon Palace players roared and charged forward. There were a lot of Hegemon Cavalry among them!
"Pooh, what a fantasy! Dreams of becoming kings? If even a guild like this can become a king guild, do they really think that there's no one left in the China server?
Hmph! "Stranger of Three Lifetimes huffed angrily.
It wasn't long before the closest Hegemon Palace players were less than 100 yards away from the city.
I smiled and said, "Once the siege is over, the system will give out rewards. Ranged players, it's your turn to deal damage. The more people you kill, the more rewards you'll get in the future. Slaughter the idiots of Hegemon Palace, Flower Room and Mad Dragon right here! This is way more experience than any other leveling map, and I'm sure fans love to read '!'"
"Mn!"
Beiming Xue nodded with a smile before drawing her bow and activating Bow God. Then, she unleashed Spiraling Arrow Blade + Evil Spirit Volley combo and ravaged the enemy.
Tens of thousands of sparks rose from the city walls as mages, archers, bards, tamers, tacticians and more unleashed their attacks. Relying on the height of the city walls to increase their attack range, they were able to unleash a torrent of powerful firepower!
Boom boom boom!
Galaxy Storms were practically the main force of the battle, and the combined power of countless mages made them even more terrifying. The Hegemon Palace players who charged into the Galaxy Storms and the sea of fire were shredded into pieces in droves. They couldn't even make it past the range of the Galaxy Storms.
"Bang!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes' scepter glowed with icy energy as she fired two Ice Blasts at a group of charging Hegemon Palace's Steel Needle Porcupine Cavalrymen. Then, she unleashed two Galaxy Storms and killed nearly 40 Steel Needle Porcupine Cavalrymen in an instant!
"Fuck, Momo's ranged attacks are terrifying …" The corner of my mouth twitched.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked pleased with herself as she said, "Envious?"
I said, "Come to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and we'll make you the vice leader …"
"Ah, about that …" Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked a little tempted.
Eyes Like Water gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and said in a low voice, "Don't you dare seduce our guild leader! Blazing Hot Lips can't be without a guild leader! If you keep this up, Lu Chen, I'm going to use force!"
Heaven's Rain and Diamond Dust immediately tensed up as well. They put their hands on the hilts of their swords and said, "If anyone dares to use force on our big brother Lu Chen, we won't hold back!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes burst into laughter. "Aiyo, the girls of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are so cute! Come with me to Blazing Hot Lips, I guarantee that you'll have a good life, an endless supply of gold, and an endless supply of handsome men!"
"Fuck …" High Fighting Spirits' mouth twitched.
Lin Yixin said exasperatedly, "Can we not try to poach each other in front of each other? You guys are just too shameless!"
I said, "Yeah, you guys are just too shameless!"
Lin Yixin glared at me and said angrily, "I'm talking about you, you shameless bastard!"
Everyone laughed loudly, and the tense atmosphere of the siege actually lightened up because of our words.
… …
The battle lasted for half an hour before Hegemon Palace's Steel Needle Porcupine Cavalrymen finally reached the city walls after losing almost ten thousand men. Countless craftsmen approached under the protection of their magic knights, and a series of ladder hooks latched onto the edge of the walls. Hegemon Palace was about to enter the city.
Chiang!
I unsheathed the Cyan Netherworld Sword and said with a smile, "If we can even stop the Northern Alliance's siege, this motley crew is nothing to us. Melee players, it's time to collect points. Kill anyone who comes up to us! Don't hold back!"
A Level 155 magic knight had already climbed the city walls before I finished speaking. He shouted, "I am the leader of Hegemon Palace's first party!"
Du Thirteen unsheathed his sword and slammed it into the magic knight's shield, dealing 6893 damage. It was a miscalculation, and the magic knight's Attack was greatly reduced.
High Fighting Spirits laughed loudly. "Thirteen, let me try!"
Du Thirteen swung his warhammer through the air and smashed the enemy's shield into pieces. Seizing the opportunity, Du Thirteen executed Double Slash + Barrier Break combo and pierced through the enemy's chest, one-shotting him. The other readers were dumbfounded.
The battle on and below the city walls had already descended into chaos. I poked my head out and saw that Hegemon Palace's mages and archers had already reached the city walls. They were firing arrows at us, but they hadn't used any siege weapons yet. This meant that they weren't a threat to the city walls, so we could continue fighting. It wasn't like we were losing anything.
… …
Swhoosh!
I unleashed the Phantom Wolf King and unleashed its Purgatory Storm, wreaking havoc everywhere it went. Hegemon Palace's players were in so much pain that they wished they were dead, and the little wolf's claws were nightmarish enough to tear through the armor of a high-level knight, let alone the mages and archers of the guild.
The siege continued for almost three hours, but it was still as intense as ever.
Finally, Lin Yixin let out a cute yawn after killing a bunch of players on the ladder with Ice Flame Slash. She looked at me and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I want to finish this battle as soon as possible."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sending out Snowy Cathaya's cavalry. It's time to counterattack."
"Mn!"
I nodded in interest. Snowy Cathaya and I had been fighting on our own during the Nation War, so I hadn't seen their cavalry yet!
… …
Lin Yixin led Purple Marquis, Zi Chuanyu and the rest down the city walls. It didn't take long for almost ten thousand melee players to gather in one place. Lin Yixin gave the order, and everyone started summoning their mounts!
