I sat on the walls and the sun shone on the shoulder armor of the Overlord Armor. I looked into the distance at the blood clouds near Dragonslayer Stronghold. It gave off an invisible aura. Azure was planning to create his undying empire there? Ye Lai and Yan Zhao Warrior did all die there.
Yan Zhao Warrior’s death was quite pitiful. He was a General that was about to replace Baili Ning, but… He killed so many monsters so his contribution points should be enough right?
I clicked on the rankings. As expected, Yan Zhao Warrior had gone all out and he was actually in the top 10–
Xiao Yao Zi Zai (China) Points: 1172050
Fang Ge Que (China) Points: 1123730
Dancing Forest (China) Points: 1026320
Cang Yue (China) Points: 997270
Mu Xuan (China) Points: 972100
Q-Sword (China) Points: 952920
Demon Mountain (Germany) Points: 912380
Cang Tong (China) Points: 912270
Yan Zhao Warrior (China) Points: 891730
For Love (Portugal) Points: 883730
……
It seemed like I was quite safe in first place. Although Fang Ge Que was close behind but it wouldn’t be easy for him to overtake me. Although his AOE damage was terrifying but I was much stronger after dying once. Moreover, the main reason why I was above him was because of the Godslaying Effect that increased my damage to monsters by 100%. This Buff made Fang Ge Que speechless.
Dancing Forest was 3rd, Dong Cheng Yue and Mu Xuan followed closely behind. The Nine Heavens City players didn’t defend Dragonslayer Fortress for long so they didn’t have much of a chance to get points which were why Demon Mountain was only 7th. As for the players of the Western Alliance, Sky Rose and Seven Feather were too late. They also didn’t enter Dragon City and chose to fight outside so they didn’t have many chances to get points which were why they weren’t in the top ten. Our Mocha used her stable performance to be ranked ten but she was still classified as Portuguese. We allowed that as Waterfront City still needed her to suppress 7K and Nine Heavens City.
I looked at the time. This battle lasted for 27 hours and it was too intense so players couldn’t go offline to eat. Most of the Zhan Long players only went offline for a few minutes to pee.
……
“Is it over?” Yue Qing Qian looked at the calmness and smiled.
“I don’t know.” I shook my head and said, “If the system doesn’t signal that the event is over then it isn’t. Who knows what moves Pearl would have for us.”
“Will Azure come himself again?” Li Mu asked.
I thought about it, “Not possible.”
“Why so?”
“He was already injured by Frost. Although his injuries weren’t heavy but at least he knows that we have Frost that isn’t so easily dealt with.”
Li Mu was a little excited, “Right, Frost is so strong, Azure might die if he comes.”
I stared at him, “You are too optimistic?”
“Why?”
“Frost was injured, badly injured.” I lowered my voice, “Just that the Hybrid Demon territory people don’t know. If not he would have attacked and we would stand no chance at all.”

Li Mu sucked in a deep breath, “Damn… So Dragon City is empty and has no defences?”
“You can say that.” I breathed out, “let’s not make things too obvious and just defend here. This event is not so simple and if we lose this city is gone. Much less Bahuang City and Tian Ling City getting attacked. Dragon City falling is a fatal blow for us. Don’t forget that all of our Zhan Long troops are here. Once we fall, our hard work would be wasted.”
“En.” Li Mu nodded, “Understood, don’t worry. Dragon City will not fall. We still have Queen Zhi Shu.”
I, “…”
……
Time passed bit by bit and Dragon City wasn’t attacked. Instead, Blade Mountain was by a group of them. Luckily Han Yuan and Xiao Lie held on. Apart from that, the 50 thousand Flame Hawk Archers there were all alive so it wasn’t possible for them to take down such an easily defended area.
After this battle ended, Frost would probably pay attention to Blade Mountain. Blade Mountain and Dragon City protected one another and it was a good place to defend. Frost was focused on cultivation but her strategy was not on my level. After this, she would most probably send troops there.
At this moment, there was a dragon roar. Qing Luo led a bunch of dragonriders back. At the same time, the giant dragons dragged the corpses of dragons and dragonriders. Those were the people that died during the battle.
“What is the situation?” I asked.
Qing Luo’s face was ashen white, “Thousand Hand Demons and Snow Giants are too strong. We lost 7 of us once more. From the start until now, we have lost 37 dragonriders…”
Dragonriders and their dragons signed a life contract so once the dragonrider died, the dragons wouldn’t survive either. So 37 dragonrider deaths meant 37 dragons would be tortured to death by the contracts.
Looking at how Qing Luo felt, I tapped her shoulder, “Their sacrifice won the dignity and survival of Dragon City. They will be happy if they see that we are still alive.”
Qing Luo nodded and asked, “Sir, you are Tian Ling City’s The Executor and have gone through so many battles, you… When you see your allies die, don’t you feel heart pained?”
I was stunned. In my impression, Qing Luo was a happy-go-lucky and strong dragonrider. For her to ask such a deep question was unexpected. I said, “Everyone is flesh and blood so whose heart wouldn’t hurt. But everyone has to be strong and win. Once the battle is over, then we can end all the pain.”
Qing Luo understood and smiled once more, “Good. Qing Luo and you will work towards that. End this war!”
I smiled and nodded but my heart felt empty. How easy was it to end this war? Azure, Sif, Qin Ge was already so strong. Just them were problematic enough. Sky Rose and Demon Mountain weren’t easily killed either. The last country war would be tough!
Pearl changed too and became an enemy. How were we going to continue down this path?
If Pearl rally didn’t return then I still had to continue down and prove to her that the rookie had become the strongest in the empire. I would complete what she wished.
The road was tough and only my heart didn’t change.
……
We waited for three hours and finally, the Hybrid Demon Territory drums sounded once more. A new group came from the blood pains. There were so many of them!
“Yi?” Q-Sword was shocked, “Didn’t Yan Zhao Warrior and Ye Lai break their backline? How did so many of them come? They shouldn’t be from Charging Canyon and Shura World. Did Azure have a short CD skill to summon hell cracks?”
Jian Feng Han held his sword and said, “That might not be the case, wait and see.”
Not long later, a new group of hybrid demons was here. At this time, we also saw what they looked like and we were all shocked. The one at the front held a sword and rode a horse and he looked exactly the same as Q-Sword. But he was different in the sense that his eyes were red and his body was covered in black energy. As expected, close to a million players had died in Shura World previously and their souls were used by Azure.
Enchanted Painting opened her mouth and pointed, “Guild Leader look, you are there…”
Fang Ge Que looked down in shock, “Are we… Are we going to fight ourselves?”
Moreover, apart from millions of elite china players there were Demon Hall Cavalries and Barbarian Wolf Cavalrymen. This battle wouldn’t be so easy. After all, players had many skills and these players had their stats increased greatly!
They got close and very quickly we could see that Q-Sword’s stats–
Q-Sword Soul (Special)
Level: 227 (+10)
Effect: Azure refined the soul and body, stats increased by 100%, skills and special skills are all kept.
……
Level 237 monster, 10 levels higher than before. Moreover, all stats increased by 100%.
My heart felt cold. This bunch was definitely not so easy to kill. I raised my arm and said loudly, “Jing Yin, inform the Blade Mountain Royal Army to cover them in cannonfire. Don’t hold back! Those cannons on Dragon City can fire too, don’t let them get close!”
Jing Yin opened her eyes and didn’t know why I was so nervous but she followed my instructions, “Yes Sir!”
She waved and both Dragon City and Blade Mountain fired. The ground shook and many dragon crystal cannonballs exploded in the crowd. The players scattered and started to climb the walls. It was finally coming, this time we were fighting ourselves that were stronger than us!
