Chapter 873 Chasing the win (2/2)
Liu Ying was stunned, it was apparent that he had no broken away from his identity as the son of Feng Ling Group CEO and he still treated the game as reality. Unfortunately the NPCs here didn't fall for that and won't bother about his identity. What Duke, what son of Marquis, he was just treated as an adventurer. Tian Ling City had millions of adventurers so who would bother about someone like you who didn't have much status.
Which was why I felt that there was a huge need for the army system, to do well in it. For example me being the Royal Army General helped remove many problems for me. Rather than fighting alongside other men why not step them beneath my feet and look down on them, being invincible wherever I went?
Just as I thought about that, I couldn't help but feel proud. I turned around and called out to Lin Wan Er and Li Mu, bringing the Zhan Long men to continue to chase. I left Liu Ying and his men stunned there, swiftly leaving Louis too. Liu Ying seemed to have finally realised that an NPC like Louis who bothered about every small thing was an NPC that he couldn't afford to offend.
...
The cannon sounds rang out, this night was destined not to be a peaceful one.
Holding my Dragon Reservoir Sword and Zhen Yue Sword, I led the Zhan Long group, each of them slashing till their blade tips were about to curl up. The ten miles around Fire Elephant City also became a piece of hell on earth. In just a night Flaming Cloud City Autumn Leaf Army General Ye Bi, Punisher Army General Xing Lu died in the chaos. These two armies were also pretty much wiped out. Out of the five armies that went to Fire Elephant City, only Clear Current Army and Wing Searching Army were left and they had less than seventy thousand. Under the protection of roughly hundred thousand Indian Players led by Drunk Maple, they entered the Fire Elephant Canyon into the ambush of the China NPC and players. Directly heading towards Flaming Cloud City.
Demon Howling Hill was a map at the end of Fire Elephant Canyon, a really high hill. But due to the surrounding geography there were many strong winds and storms, the wind blowing sounds were like the howl of ghosts. At this moment many players and NPCs stood there. Pearl and Xu Wei were all there. Among the players, Q-Sword, Ye Lai, Yan Zhao Warrior and I etc were all there. We chased to the end of Demon Howling Hill and were hesitating whether to continue chasing or not. In front of us was a green mountain barrier which we didn't know what was waiting for us at the other end.
Turning around and looking at the entire Fire Elephant Canyon, a hell like battlefield appeared in front of my eyes. Corpses laid all over, a loss of many lives, making one feel emotional just looking at it. In this battle we killed at least seventeen million players and four hundred thousand NPCs. China Region had seven million players left and half of our five armies were lost. Overall it was a huge win especially in the NPC aspect. Flaming Cloud City was said to have a million troops and close to half were wiped out by us, what was left weren't their elites either. This was really good for us when we attack Flaming Cloud City.
Louis cupped his fist and said, ”Your Highness, twenty miles out is Flaming Cloud City our target for this battle. Why not chase the win, why are we waiting?”
Xiahou Ren who was in charge of the logistics cupped his fists, ”The grain has been prepared, enough for us to last a month here. If Your Highness wants to attack there is no need to hesitate, we can just ride the momentum and catch them off guard. Moreover Clear Current Army General Barry is not dead, if he is alive he will be a huge problem for Tian Ling City!”
Princess Pearl stood beneath the king flag, her face was filled with hesitation. She finally looked towards me and said, ”General Li Xiao Yao, do you think we should chase or not?”
I sighed, ”No.”
”Why?” Pearl didn't understand, ”As what General Louis said Flaming Cloud Empire's remaining troops aren't a problem so what are we worried about?”
I said, ”The forces surrounding and killing their troops have fought for two full days so there is no chance they are unprepared. We are blocked by the mountain in front of us so we don't know what is there which makes me worried. In front might be a huge trap by them. We have two choices, one is send our main force and kill our way over. This is more dangerous but it is easier to succeed. Second is to send scouts over, to see what is going on before we send our main troops. This is slower but safer.”
”Which do you support?”
”Both is okay.”
Pearl sucked in a deep breath and said, ”I just received news that Moon Empire have sent troops to attack Tian Ling City, they will reach War God River in a day. Brother's mission is to take down Flaming Cloud City in two days and then lead the victorious troops back to Tian Ling City to crush the Moon Empire troops at the west shore of War God River.”
I was a little shocked, ”Then we would be in a war with Moon City, Flaming Cloud City and Waterfront City all at once. Do we really have the strength?”
Pearl hesitated and said, ”I don't know but I don't have a choice!”
As she said that she slowly pulled out her sword, her voice became really calm as she gave her order, ”There is no need to hesitate, attack Flaming Cloud City. Cavalry take the lead and charge, destroy the city right away. Charge in and take down Flaming Cloud City!”
...
Everyone on Demon Howling Hill charged down, the huge Tian Ling City Army charged right for Tian Ling City.
