Chapter 851- Battle of Flaming God Castle (1/2)
Flaming Cloud City sent close to half their forces to the Flaming God Mountain Range. It was obvious that they were planning to attack Tian Ling City. Who knew that the Flaming Cloud City players would be eager enough to actually attack right from the get-go? I thought that they would launch an ambush after the China Region was at war with Waterfront City and Moon City!
I rode my God Dragon Horse along with the hundreds of meters of Fire Dragon Cavalry and Steel Blade Cavalry to the front. The Spirits of No Return Valley was filled with [Zhan Long] members. The cavalry was at the front while the ranged and supports were at the back. Lin Wan Er had already led the assassins to the front to scout. I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir Sword and pointed towards the south and smiled, ”Set off!”
The huge unit proceeded forward. The cavalry didn't go full speed ahead as there was no rush. There were already China Region players over at the Flaming God Mountain Range so it was okay even if we were late.
We went through the Chi Yu Army camp, going past the army farms and an hour later a mountain range that stretched a hundred miles was right in front of me. The mountains were red in color and were covered in volcanic rock. They were around 300 meters high and could only be considered as small hills, but they were all unusually steep. This made the Flaming God Mountain Range act as a natural barrier for Tian Ling City against Flaming Cloud City. The Indian players either had to plow straight through or they had to spend 5 hours to go around and reach the Tian Ling City borders through the desolate land.
In the distance, a giant valley appeared within the Flaming God Mountain Range. This was the only passageway with a small stronghold built inside it. It was called the Flaming God Castle and belonged to Tian Ling City. It could hold about 3 thousand Fire Axe Army troops. It wasn't that sturdy or firm since it was just made out of rough rock. In the past, Emperor Rob probably didn't expect that Flaming Cloud City would attack us.
When we arrived, the valley was filled with China Region players from all the different guilds. Everyone was waiting to contribute! The stronghold could fit roughly no more than 5 thousand players which resulted in the players all squished together. It made it even harder for the players to enter the stronghold and more could only head over after the players fighting died.
Li Mu stopped his war horse, holding Neptune’s Blade as he said with a helpless expression on his face, ”How are we going to fight like this? What the f***... [Wrath of the Heroes] is really quick. Xiao Yao look, Liu Ying and Piggy are already on the walls of the stronghold. Are they trying to get some country war points by using the Indian players before all the other guilds?”
I looked at the China Region country war points. As expected, Piggy was actually first. It seemed like he had killed many with his musket on the stronghold walls. This fellow really had some skill.
I frowned and said, ”At 4 am, weren't there 70 million Flaming Cloud City players who were forced back at Dragon Surrendering Forest? How did those 70 million come over?”
Lin Wan Er laughed in my arms and said, ”They came over from the wilderness. The Indians also got news in advance and prepared many people at the country borders. When the country war began, they were already in the middle of the wilderness. They were originally planning to destroy the NPC army farms west of the War God River.”
Old K grinned, ”This bunch of idiots, what's the use of destroying the NPC farms?”
Li Mu also smiled, ”Old K, you really are ignorant... The army farms are their replenishment source. Once they are destroyed, the system will send the NPCs into a hungry state. When that happens, the number of troops that can be sent will be reduced. One must know that their strength is still above players and are an undeniable force in the country war. This game is too real and the country war isn't as simple as fighting and killing like in Conquer. One must actually care about war strategy!”
Old K was stunned, expressing that he didn't understand. Actually, he didn't need to understand. As the top Berserker in [Zhan Long], he only needed to know when to charge to the front and kill.
As for strategy, it would be left to smart people like Li Mu, Lin Wan Er, and Yue Qing Qian.
......
”So now what Brother Xiao Yao?” Song Han carried his dagger and asked.
I said, ”Let's defend here for a while. Wan'er, send out 1,000 Steel Blade Cavalry to scout in groups of 10 for a total of 100 to the various maps. Flaming Cloud City sent 20 million players, so it is impossible for them to just be waiting there. They must be trying to find a new tunnel to attack Tian Ling City.”
Lin Wan Er nodded her head, ”Understood, I will do it right away!”
Little Miss' work efficiency was really high. In just a minute, there were many Steel Blade Cavalry heading out of the valley. The rest of the people remained here waiting for orders. Out of the 40 thousand [Zhan Long] players, only 10 thousand entered. The rest were outside Dragon Surrendering Forest. There were just too many people who joined the country war which covered the entire wilderness.
I raised my head and looked into the distance, streaks of fire light appeared on the Flaming God Castle. That was the sound of Dragon Crystal Cannons which made my heart sink. Players didn't have the strength to use Dragon Crystal Cannons which meant only one possibility. The Flaming Cloud City NPCs had already joined in this battle. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any Dragon Crystal Cannons. I looked towards the Flaming God Castle worryingly. Once the castle is leveled out, the valley would be open!
”Keng!”
