I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 209

Chapter 209 - Battle For Survival

The sky above had been overcast, but when noon struck, the scalding sun penetrated through the dark cloud. The grass plain was illuminated, and it looked like a field of golden flecks.

It was also the time when the sun was at its hottest. This was the reason why the dark creatures retreated.

But how did the dark cloud cover the sky in the first place?

Everyone could feel the dark magic that was cast in the sky. A normal dark Warlock did not have the power to gather such large-scale storm clouds.

It was the work of some powerful devils.

The Darkness invasion started on all of the nine continents in the same way. The sky was covered by dark clouds, while countless dark creatures were used as cannon fodders to overrun all the Human nations. All living things were devoured.

Many players and natives wanted to know what happened to the powerful warriors in the continent?

Where were they?

Why did they not appear?

They could easily destroy the dark army. And even if they did not wish to destroy the dark army, they could remove the dark clouds from the sky.

That would give the Human nations enough time to recover…

But William was not willing to tell them the truth.

The Darkness invasion was not a game of the Gods and Devils.

It was something the powerful warriors had anticipated.

When lives were sacrificed, the world of the Gods would be restored.

When the blood formed into rivers, the unlimited magic power, once again, would become intense.

When there were countless deaths, the dimension barrier would be greatly weakened.

It was the coming of the fourth era.

The Gods and Devils wanted to descend upon the world.

While the powerful wanted to gain more power.

All the ambitious leaders wanted their races to become the ruler of the fourth era.

Therefore, sacrifices were unavoidable…

The powerful warriors used the name of righteousness to start the fourth era.

If they were to become the rulers of the fourth era, thousands of years of good fortune awaited them.

Hence, they were willing to sacrifice a portion of the people.

Besides, the regions that had been affected by the Darkness invasion were just desolate places on the large continent.

They did not have many resources, and the population was low. Even if they had a small number of geniuses, compared to the talents in the vast continent, the talents were much paler.

The desolate regions were not strong. They were only pawns that were controlled by powerful rulers.

The City of Dawn had two enchanters, Moses and Old Band.

Did Moses dare to intervene?

He was condemned as the traitor of the Gods.

William knew that if Moses were to show himself, someone would go after his life.

What about Old Band?

William wanted to ask him, but he had left to participate in the Moonlight Forest war…

It was a war that was more bloody and terrifying than the Darkness invasion…

It was a war started by the sages…

During this short-lived rest interval, the defenders of the City of Dawn took the opportunity to change the guards.

The city had hundreds of thousands of players and 36,000 regular soldiers on guard. But not all of them were required at the frontline. Half of them were resting.

After twelve hours of continuous guard duty, even an Intermediate professional would be exhausted.

The exhausted soldiers had to recover their battle energy and mental strength!

Xiyan returned to the Seraphkin. If no mishaps happened in the ensuing war, the Seraphkin legions would arrive at the City of Dawn to help in its defense.

The City of Dawn, Altaic’s Orc tribes, and the Dragon’s clansmen were considered the first line of defense at the Blackleaf forest of the southeastern region.

The Seraphkin’s residence was in the forest interior, but once the City of Dawn would be overrun by the dark creatures, they would lose their homeland, and they would only have time to retreat.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the various races in the southeastern region were very ambitious!

They did not wish to be devoured by the dark creatures, but they also did want to be the vanguards that fought against the dark army. But now, they were forced to defend against the dark creatures.

William stood by the city walls and surveyed the corpses of the dark creatures below. He said in a grave voice, “Legolas, use my space ring, and transport the corpses back into the city. Burn the remaining corpses with fire to prevent plagues from the Dark World.”

Legolas nodded. He took over William’s ring and flew to the foot of the cliff. Nobody knew how many dark creatures there were. But in the short twelve hours of battle, their corpses had stacked to a height of ten meters. If the bodies continued to stack up, the height advantage of the steep cliff would be negated.

There was another advantage to the corpses of the dark creatures. They could be made into various materials.

The midnight invasion army consisted of the skeleton soldiers, some darkness soldiers (without any steeds), carrion monsters, devil hounds, and the player killers called ‘Dark Lizards’.

Dark Lizards were creatures that crawled on four limbs. They had horrifying appearances, and their heads consisted of exposed craniums without flesh and blood.

Their tongues were long, so they could grab and swallow professionals easily. The lizards were also agile, and their crawling speed was much faster than any dark creatures. They were the hardest creatures to defend against.

Of course, it was the same for the carrion monsters.

The tall carrion monsters that were composed of many corpses could inflict lethal damage. They were like the powerful Trolls who could bash through the city gates.

It was a pity.

The carrion monsters could not see the city walls. They encountered the cliff that was too steep for them to climb…

“Summon Fiu Roeser. Let him bring 6,000 Tauren Warriors to help in the defense.” William ordered. Fiu Roeser had unified many of the smaller Tauren tribes on the grass plain.

Currently, Fiu Roeser controlled tribes that had 20,000 Tauren Warriors.

Hence, it was not a big deal to Fiu Roeser. The Tauren Warriors were not part of the regular army.

“Yes, my lord.” Nox nodded. He waved to let the messenger convey William’s order. But why did William not use the magic transmission scroll? It was because William was afraid that Fiu Roeser might pretend to not see the message…

William hesitated for a while before he said in a deep voice, “Summon the Bloody Crusher. Let him bring the Trolls to battle.”

“Yes, my lord!”

“I found out that the Darkness invasion at the Black Lava Dukedom was not very intense. The City of Dawn is the main target of the dark creatures. Complete the installation of the 2,000 catapults!”

“Yes, my lord!”

“800 heavy-duty crossbows have been installed. Inform the firers to take aim at the Intermediate dark creatures. Don’t fire recklessly!”

“Yes, my lord!”

“Let the Breaking Wave legion join the battle. The Dawn Vessel shall stop all operations.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Deploy the Blade Cavalry Legion at the designated location. Tell them that a great battle awaits them.”

“Yes…” Nox ordered the messenger to convey William’s order.

“Temple of Light…”

“My lord, they’re here, along with the chosen ones. There are 1,300 Temple Knights and 1,000 clerics. Even the Dark Palace sent out 1,500 professionals.”

William nodded. He glanced at a group of players and saw Chu Liuqiu, who had not gone offline to rest. He said, “The task of organizing the chosen ones is upon you. The Beginner-level chosen ones can defend areas which have very few dark creatures while the Intermediate chosen ones can fight in the intense areas.”

“Yes, Prince William.” Chu Liuqiu solemnly said. He felt that a greater war was impending, and the chaotic battle from yesterday was only a teaser.

“Well, let everyone take their meals and rest.” William did not leave the city walls. He made the ramparts his home. His palace was at the edge of the cliff!

He was Lord William.

The first line of defense.

If the City of Dawn were to be overrun, his home would be the first to be destroyed.

Two hours had passed.

Sunlight disappeared from the land.

Once again, the sky became overcast.

Once again, the endless streams of dark creatures appeared at the grass plain.

This time, there were more dark creatures, and they showed more ferociousness.

There were tens of thousands of Intermediate dark creatures!

Thousands of Dark Lizards that were tens of meters long were covered with tough scales. Their mouths were emitting vile smoke.

There were tens of thousands of undead.

And darkness soldiers who were mounted on skeleton warhorses.

Vampires who had dark tattoos all over their bodies were also present.

Demons with goat heads were also common dark creatures. They were two to three meters tall and extremely powerful.

It could be estimated that there were 300,000 dark creatures…

The commanders were novice, middle, and Advanced devils.

When the defenders of the City of Dawn saw the scale of the second wave of the Darkness invasion, they were filled with a sense of hopelessness.

William did not rest. He did not have time to rest.

He stood on the ramparts, waiting for the dark creatures to arrive.

Dang!

2,000 catapults released volleys of flaming rocks that looked like a meteor shower.

The second round of the invasion commenced.

But at this moment, an explosion could be heard coming from a distance. Xiyan had returned, and she had brought along a 12,000-strong Seraphkin legion!

The Seraphkin soldiers were equipped with Silver-quality armor, and they had a pair of wings. They looked like the Angel legion.

The Seraphkin were not afraid of death.

However, they wanted to visit the sky city before they perished.

They would never cower before an apocalyptic war!

Annie, who was equipped with Silver-quality armor, also brought forth 3,000 personal guards to help in the war!

At this moment, the pureblood Elves who took part in the war numbered 35,000. Some Elves that did not have combat power helped out at the rear.

William turned his body to look at Annie, whose face had tears.

He understood. Annie already knew that Old Band had left.

And that her brother, the Elven King Cronus, had become the death god of Darkness and was battling against his own race at Moonlight Forest!

All the Moonlight Elves were in an abyss of suffering as they fought for their lives.

William sighed. He turned around and surveyed the boundless dark army.

He pointed his blade forward.

Just like the previous night.

He loudly chanted.

“We shall fight for our survival!”

“For survival, the Humans shall fight!” Humans in the city shouted.

“For survival, the Seraphkin shall fight!” Xiyan led the Seraphkin legion in the battle cry.

“For survival, the Elves shall fight!” Annie unsheathed her long sword and shouted loudly.

“For survival, we shall fight!”

This thought had grown deep in William’s mind! This is the reason for his decision. He was going to become the strongest NPC ever. He will have the strongest armor and get beaten badly! Who said that NPCs will have to be killed by players?
