When I woke up, it was already 10pm of the second night. I looked at my messages and there was only one from Death God's Elergy, "Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City have came to an agreement. They will arrive at the border of China's region in three hours!"
That was around 6pm, so they should be here now right?
I got up and washed up quickly. After which, I ate something with Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue before heading online. Enemies from the west meant that Fan Shu City which was located in the southwest direction of Tian Ling City was first to get hit. Moreover, Moon City players had been here for a long time. We had 100 thousand Dragon’s Den troops and were really strong so they saw us as a huge problem.
…
"Shua!"
I slowly appeared on the walls of Fan Shu City. The moment I appeared, I felt a hot fireball strike me. "Peng", I was hit face first and lost 40 thousand health. Still okay, the attack came from a trebuchet. There was a group of people outside of the west wall and numerous cannons and trebuchets were firing down.
In the sky, many eagles were crying out. Apart from those war eagles were many griffins. These were Iron Skull City's special soldier type. Although these griffins weren't as strong as dragons but they were far stronger than hawks and their mount tier was Demon Harvest Tier. Moreover, most of them were NPC mounts and it was hard for players to get them. Anyways, there were only a handful of griffin players now.
On the city walls, Zhan Long, Judgement, Appearance Alliance, Blood Contract etc were fighting back. Cannons fired and many Archers, Musketee, Mages etc fired back.
In the distance, Xing Lie held a red spear and smiled, "Boss, you are finally here!"
I asked, "How is the situation?"
Xing Lie said, "Not good!"
"Oh, good luck!"
"En!"
I summoned the God Dragon Horse and charged towards the right wing. There was a giant siege carriage that was heading towards the wall. Once it got close, the NPC army in it would be able to be tossed onto the walls. That would increase the defensive pressure that we were on. I activated Icy Wings and pulled my blade out to use Wind Carrying Slash. I slashed the carriage at its waist and the NPC troops fell out. One of them charged towards me with rage in his eyes.
"Peng!"
I stepped on the wind and jumped onto the walls. Along the way I cleared out the other seige carriages. The west wall was surrounded by Iron Skull City NPC and players. The Americans were the main force. Fortunately, we had enough dragon crystal cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons and were able to shatter their siege weapons. Moroever, the arrow towers had hundreds of Heavy Flame Archers which were level 7 soldier types and had 95% of my stats. Their arrows were a death sentence for the players.
Han Yuan led Royal Army to guard and pretty much all the Saint Hall Cavalry troops were fighting. They used their Saint Shield defence to block the attacks while slashing at the cloud ladders to kill those players who tried to climb up.
I looked and saw many cloud ladders hooked onto our walls. Many Iron Skull City players were climbing up. They were dense like bugs and sent a chill down my spine.
But Fan Shu City was still really firm and the players didn't show any exhaustion at all. Li Mu gathered a bunch of Furnace God Cavalry to wait for instructions to charge at those American players. For the short future, Fan Shu City was still safe.
But, a strong defence couldn't block endless attacks. Drops of water would be able to pierce through stone. Much less cannons, trbuchets, war hammers etc attacking Fan Shu City.
In the crowd, Yue Qing Qian flew over with her dagger, "Brother Xiao Yao, the situation is not good…"
"En, tell me about it."
"Moon City has moved to attack the north wall. The Russians and Americans have came to an agreement. They will send at least 10 million players to attack the south wall and they have many heavy cannons. They have pretty much stretched across the wilderness to Fire God Mountain. Their 2 million people have stretched to the east and block our connection with Tian Ling City. Fan Shu City is alone now."
"En, I saw it too…"
I looked at the city wall interface and there was less than 7 million people in Fan Shu City. Most of them were Zhan Long allies and there were also other mid and small guild players. However, their troops were scattered and not very strong. The main force was still Zhan Long and our allies. On the contrary, the Americans sent 24 million people into Fan Shu City and Moon City had 8 million. The Russians had 12 million. They had a total of 44 million people, 6 times our number!
The difference in strength could be seen.
Yue Qing Qian frowned, "Red Rock City has been taken down. Fang Ge Que and Q-Sword are moving east and the next target is Nine Heavens City!"
"Oh, Red Rock City has been taken down?"
"Right, they paid a heavy price to take down one Red Rock City."
"It seems like we can't depend on Heaven Planning Hall, but we really have too few people. Sooner or later we would run out."
"En, what should we do?"
"Let me go tell them…"
I contacted Fang Ge Que and a few seconds later it was connected. Fang Ge Que's calm voice spread from the other side, "Xiao Yao, is this about Fan Shu City?"
"En." I said, "I know that we have to take down Nine Heavens City but Fan Shu City is being attacked by 40 million players. Fang Ge, if Heaven Planning Hall doesn't send people over, Fan Shu City will be lost."
"I understand Fan Shu City's situation too but we need more people here. We spent a night to wipe out all of Nine Heavens City's main force at Red Rock City. We need to take Nine Heavens City down and grab this main city. If not, the war would be pointless."
"Then Fan Shu City will be lost."
"Don't worry, I have sent Ah Jing to lead 8 million people to Tian Ling City. 2 hours later they will arrive in Fan Shu City, you just have to hold on for 2 hours and she will lead Legend's elites to help you defend."
"OK!"
After switching off the communication device, I frowned. This battle was on such a large scale and spread from Fan Shu City to Nine Heavens City. We didn't have so many troops to fight a war stretching dozens of huge maps.
But what surprised me was that Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Yan Zhao Warrior etc were able to wipe out Nine Heavens City's main force. Even Demon Mountain and 7K weren't their match. One had to say that China region had so many talents and probably Demon Mountain realised how strong our region was now.
But since that was the case, my original idea was changed. Joining hands with Nine Heavens City and taking down Waterfront City was the plan but now it seemed like we were one against the world.
Since it had reached that stage, then we shall take it step by step!
…
We continued to defend and in less than two hours, a dense China region player group arrived from the east. This was Enchanted Painting's party. Fang Ge Que was a righteous person and he didn't use this chance to take down Fan Shu City. He sent Enchanted Painting to bring Legend's elites over. 8000+ God Wind Cavalry were here.
Moreover, she brought more than 8 million people. She walked around Tian Ling City and led those who revived over. There was over 12 million of them. With these bunch, Fan Shu City had a chance.
Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City started to move into our map. War God River, Tian Ling City, Jiu Li City etc had more and more of them appearing around which resulted in the people surrounding us going from 44 million to 30 million. But most here were elites. From afar, Sky Rose's Blades of War was still here.
…
Although Fan Shu City was huge but it was hard to fit 20 million players. Thus, Enchanted Painting sent me a message to suggest that she didn't enter. I would send people out to charge at Moon City's camp. Smile and Hand of Waterloo probably didn't expect us to head out again. 100 thousand of us spread out like a fan and charged out from the east. At this point, Moon City's 8 million seem too weak.
"Ang ang…"
In the sky, the griffin cavalry from Iron Skull City finally attacked. 2000+ of them flew from the west. The soldiers on them tossed iron spears and they turned into giant light pillars that smashed into the crowd.
"Damn!" Han Bei Song looked at the griffin group and gritted his teeth, "Why don't we have flying soldier types!"
"No, we do have."
I charged while checking the map as a red wave covered over. The 40 thousand Flame Hawk Archers attacked. Since Sky Rose moved, of course we would too?
…
"En?"
A griffin cavalry was shocked, "Sir, what is that?"
Another griffin major raged, "Flame Hawk Cavalry. Attack, smash them. Those flame hawks dare to fight with griffins, they are asking for death!"
A griffin pounced and tossed the spear which exploded int he sky. Truth proved that the hawks weren't their match and instantly they suffered heavy losses. But Chi Yu Qing was someone that would fight back. She tossed her whip and wrapped around the griffins. The hawks fired at the same time and turned them into porcupines.
Blood fell like rain and scattered on the crowd on the ground.
