Chapter 552 – I stand while my City Stands (1/2)
Chapter 552 I stand while my City Stands
The official website was painted red with a fiery battle banner at the top. Printed on the flag were three different swords above three events. This meant that three different events in the three great cities——
[Tornado Fort] Jiu Li City: A fierce tornado has ripped through a fort north of Jiu Li City. Following the tornado is a group of terrifying Hybrid Demons, lead by a King Tier demon commander known as “Son of Storms Ge Wen”. All Jiu Li City players may participate in this fight at the fort. The more monsters that are killed, the more points earned. The final reward will be decided based upon these points. Event Difficulty: SS Tier
[Dragon City] Ba Huang City: The Hybrid Demons of the North have finally begun to move under the command of “Hell’s Battlesong Lin Han”. He has lead a Hybrid Demon Army in an invasion. He will attack Ba Huang City with all of his might for 48 hours. All Ba Huang City players may participate in defending Dragon City. The more monsters killed, the more rewards given. However, this generous reward comes with great danger. The players that are killed in battle during this event will lose three levels, and the rewards will also be multiplied by three. Event Difficulty: SSS Tier!
[Rebellion] Fan Shu Cty: A group of strong rebels have entered into Fan Shu City’s northern mountains. The king has sent a command to have them killed. All players of Fan Shu City may participate. The more rebels killed, the higher rewards given. Please be careful, there is a high level King Tier Hybrid Demon BOSS amongst the rebels. Event Difficulty: SS Tier!
……
I glanced at the different events and took a deep breath. This time the battle that Ba Huang City was about to face was just too great. An SSS Tier event. It was also the most difficult of the three cities. One could just imagine just how hard the battle was going to be. Plus, we were about to face an attack directly from the Hybrid Demon Army!
The worst part of it all was the fact that when a player died, they lost three levels. That condition cut right to the bone. It was so bad, that I actually wondered just how many players would go help Dragon City in this savage event. This event was like adding hail to snow, and worsening the situation. I for one didn’t have a choice, since I was one of Dragon City’s members. No matter what, I couldn’t let Frost face such a strong enemy on her own. That at least was my bottom line.
Log on!
“Shua!”
I appeared in the middle of Ba Huang City. There was only 120 minutes left until the Ba Huang City event began. I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and saw that everything retained is usual flow. Only a few players had an urgent look on their face as they headed towards Dragon City. The rest continued to set up stalls for items, equipments and skillbooks. There wasn’t even the slightest hint of preparation for battle.
I furrowed my brows and quickly began repairing all of my equipment. Afterwards, I replenished my potions and pills, and opened up the guild chat. Matcha was already calling for me——
Matcha: Boss, you’re finally on! That Dragon City Event, if you die, you lose 3 levels. What should we do? Should we participate, or what? This event really is savage. Quite a few small and middle level guilds have decided to not join…..
Wolf: Yea, Brother Xiao Yao. We’ve already witnessed the strength of those Hybrid Demons. A skill from a Level 1 Hybrid Demon can already pretty much instantly kill the average player. If we go, wouldn’t that be pushing it?
Wan Er: Calm down first, why don’t we see what Pig has to say?
I took a deep breath and said, “This is an SSS Tier Main Event Quest. The difficulty of it definitely will not be small, but I think that [Zhan Long] ought to join. Even if our players will lose 3 levels, I think that we should still undergo this kind of experience. If we can’t defend against the attack from these Hybrid Demons, then how are we supposed to face it in the future? Besides… from a more detailed point of view, I am one of Dragon City’s players and my master is bound to the city. If Dragon City falls, then I will lose all my NPC masters. I cannot let Frost die. It is that simple!
Wan Er smiled: Yup, I knew you were going to say that!
Li Mu roared: That makes everything simple. After all, [Zhan Long]’s guild events have always been decided by the Guild Master. This will be the same. Our brothers believe in you, so let [Zhan Long] go to battle! Everyone begin preparing to set out for Dragon City. There’s nothing more to say. If we stand, the city stands!
Old K laughed: Ok, everyone, to battle!
Dong Cheng: I’ll let all of the divisions know. Right now, [Zhan Long]’s main guild has 24,000 players online right now and 12 divisions. Brother Xiao Yao, what do you think of Wan Er and my recruiting skills?
I hid a smile: With you two in [Zhan Long] along with Melon, Matcha, and Wolf, then I obviously do not need to worry about recruiting. Everyone, work hard and defend Dragon City! Don’t disgrace the guild!
All of the officer level players nodded: Yes, do not dishonor the guild!
When I left the city, all of [Zhan Long]’s players were gathered at Ba Huang City forest. There were already quite a few people there. When I arrived before them, I saw that Matcha, Wan Er, Dong Cheng, Wolf, and Old K had all arrived. Matcha raised her golden shield and walked up to me with a smile, “Boss, 9000 people have already gathered here. At the moment, we’ll be able to gather 20,000 within twenty minutes. When should we head out?”
