Chapter 851- Battle of Flaming God Castle (2/2)
I pulled out my Zhen Yue Blade as I looked at the [Zhan Long] players behind me, ”I will go take a look, prepare to move!”
Li Mu and Wang Jian nodded their heads, ”Don't worry!”
……
I rode my horse forward. It was pretty much impossible to squeeze through the crowd. I sighed and the God Dragon Horse, turning with ice-cold wings behind me. The energy surged and suddenly a pair of ice wings spread out, giving me the ability to fly. I rose up in the air and charged towards the Flaming God Castle with a cold, domineering aura.
I was high up in the air and looked towards the south of Flaming God Mountain Range. I couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. The southern plains of the Flaming God Mountain Range were covered with Flaming Cloud City players like an army ocean. Before this, I only knew what it was like for a 10 million army to move but this was a whole different beast. It was just too stunning. The China players within the Flaming God Castle didn't show any fear at all as they waved their blades to chop down the Flaming Cloud City players who tried to attack the walls. All of them had entered a battle state. The cannons sieged, many Dragon Crystal Cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons struck the defensive walls, cutting down this weak castle bit by bit.
When I witnessed such a scene, my blood couldn't help but boil up. However, I didn't immediately dive down to strike. I raised my altitude instead, flying even higher to look down at the entire battlefield. I noticed that there were still many Flaming Cloud City players surging over. Their target was obvious: they were going to break through the Flaming God Castle and enter the China Region unobstructed. I looked behind me at the players within the Dragon Surrendering Forest. The numbers were far fewer than the enemy’s. There were roughly 100 thousand squeezing in the valley around the castle. Once it was broken through, this group would directly become cannon fodder.
Thinking about that, my heart couldn't help but shake as I held my sword and flew over. I stood at the border of the castle and shouted towards Liu Ying, Piggy, Ai Ye, and Bai Li Ruo Feng, ”Flaming God Castle is about to fall. Get the people in the valley to back out. We will fight them in a spread out battle in the Dragon Surrendering Forest. Otherwise, their cannons will cause us to suffer heavy losses!”
Liu Ying laughed coldly, ”Are you the country war commander? What rights do you have to command us?”
I was furious.
Ai Ye led the second guild of [Hero’s Mound] players, and his face was a mocking one, ”Just say so if you don't dare to fight. The [Zhan Long] guild leader is frightened by the many people in front?”
Bai Li Ruo Feng was relatively calmer as he said, ”Xiao Yao Zi Zai, the Flaming God Castle is our first defense. If we give it up, it’ll affect the morale too much. Therefore, we’d rather lose 100 thousand people here than let them easily break through.”
I was helpless and said, ”The key is that their NPC army is following their players to attack. They have cannons while our NPC army hasn’t rushed over yet. We will consume a lot of manpower and resources. We can retreat 1 to 2 miles to let them come over. Once the Flaming Cloud City NPCs push their cannons into the Flaming God Mountain Range, we can send the cavalry to charge and destroy the cannons.”
Bai Li Ruo Feng laughed, ”I know that you are considered one of the smarter people in the game, but forget it. People of the [House of Prestige] are stubborn and we would rather die than give up a bit of country land!”
I was speechless and said, ”Okay, since that is the case, defend till Flaming God Castle falls. However, I still recommend you to retreat the people within the valley. It is okay if the people at the castle all die.”
Bai Li Ruo Feng nodded, ”Okay!”
I immediately sent news back to Lin Wan Er to ask her to bring the [Zhan Long] men to leave the valley. A few minutes later, the 100 thousand army in the valley retreated like a wave. I heaved a sigh of relief. However, my back was struck by a Flame Dragon Cannon which took 30 thousand of my health. Afterward, I heard a sharp voice, ”Focus on that Xiao Yao Zi Zai! He is the sixth-ranked player on the China Region CBN Battlenet!”
I jumped off the walls and was faced with a volley of arrows, among which were at least ten [Scattered Shots]. Unfortunately for my opponents, my defense was too high and pretty much neglected the attacks. Moreover, the effects of [Hero’s Helmet] meant that I didn't suffer from debuffs. Thus, no one could stun me and the attacks from them enraged me instead.
”Shua!”
I used the effect of [Icy Wings] — both of my hands were holding the Dragon Reservoir Sword as I slashed over. [Seven Star Fragment Slash]!
”Peng!”
The group of Flaming Cloud City players were in chaos. The Dragon Reservoir Sword and Zhen Yue Blade energy intersection gave rise to a clashing effect. The surrounding players swiftly lost their health. I turned and executed another [Sword Tempest], and the area around me instantly became empty. Close to a hundred people were killed just like that. The Flaming Cloud City players were all shocked, their mouths agape.
