Chapter 877 Final battle (1/2)
The sound of war drums reverberated on the ground. Finally the siege against Flaming Cloud City had begun. Although we had lesser numbers than them but our morale and strength was much better. This was an army that was determined to take revenge. The Flaming Cloud City troops could only be trapped in the city. Each guild gave their attack orders and in the next moment a dense amount of people charged towards Flaming Cloud City. They pushed many heavy siege cloud ladders. The trebuchets were also built roughly two hundred meters away from the city walls. Large amount of cavalry players held their shields to block their friends. Naturally the cannon fire focused onto them and instantly the area below Flaming Cloud City was in chaos.
...
None of the [Zhan Long] players joined in. I had asked for this. Even Judgement, Hero Mound and Prague didn't attack. We were leaving the elites to attack in the end.
”Peng peng peng...”
Many heavy cannons fired out beneath the city. Along with piles of meat and arrows which rained down from the city walls, the Tian Ling City players pretty much fell in hoards. However no one backed off and they continued to siege. Some of them started to raise their shields and climb up the cloud ladders.
On the city walls, Clear Black Eyes finally appeared. She raised her arrow and brought the Beautiful Life archers out. She started to shoot and kill the China players who were climbing. Each time she fired she would be able to kill one person. The archers she led were also the elites in Beautiful Life and they had huge killing ability.
Drunk Maple also led a bunch of Conquer the World cavalry players to charge about on the city walls, to clear out the China players that managed to get onto the walls. In a short amount of time the Tian Ling City players were unable to stand still on the walls. The casualty speed was exceptionally quick and the cannon fire continued.. Their ammo that they prepared was being consumed at fast speeds.
...
”General!”
Han Yuan rode his horse over, holding his blade, ”We still aren't attacking? Flaming Cloud City is inches away. That damn Purple Flame Saint Ruler is inside. Let's charge in and kill him and complete the Flaming Cloud City conquering mission!”
I shook my head, ”Don't be too eager. Han Yuan bring the Blade Shield Unit to dig a moat every ten meters in front, dig it five meters deep and then fill it up. Go!”
Han Yuan was shocked, ”General we are sieging what is the use of digging a moat. And we still have to fill it after digging?”
I looked towards him and smiled, ”They are able to attack us with water at Wild Swan Plains and was able to bury explosives to kill Marshal Xu Wei. With their intellect won't they bury some beneath the city to kill us? One had to be really careful when facing such an opponent. We had to dig the moat to ensure that we weren't stepping on any explosives beneath their feet.”
”Yes general!”
A bunch of Blade Shield Unit barbarians went over to dig the ground. Their efficiency was really good and not long later they confirmed that the area beneath us was safe. This also helped remove the possibility of Clear Black Eyes burying explosives below to kill us. Or maybe they have already used up most of their explosives? That seemed like it, Flaming Cloud City's map was half that of Tian Ling City and the sulfur in their mines were far less than Tian Ling City.
...
”The battle started at War God River!”
Li Mu held his sword and walked over, saying solemnly, ”Moon City's English and French region players have attacked us. Dawn and Lightning God Guild brought at least ten million people to the west shore of War God River and have started to attack. Appearance Alliance and House of Prestige are blocking them there and defending the Bridge of Fate. Once they lose it then the Moon City NPC army would be able to head straight in.”
I nodded my head, my heart sinking far deeper as I said, ”Then we need to quickly end matters here and head back. If not we might really lose Tian Ling City.
What is the situation at the south of War God River?”
Li Mu said, ”It is still okay, Fang Ge Que is really smart. Enchanted Painting is valiant. Along with Legend's Lu Chunyang Xuan Yuan Feng, Drunken Moment and Training Hell Dawn, they still can handle Waterfront City. However they won't be able to hold on for long. It was said that Ba Huang City's NPCs had started to be moved to the south of War God River to help. The situation isn't optimistic.”
Lin Wan Er said leisurely, ”It is probably still too much for us to fight on three fronts? Speaking of which why did we have to attack Flaming Cloud City? If we used War God River to defend Flaming Cloud City and then take down Waterfront City then this country war would be much easier.”
I smiled, ”Isn't it that dumb Owen who was so determined to take down Flaming Cloud City? He helped increase the difficulty of our country war. We had no choice and we can only take each step at a time. Spread my orders, half a hour later let the players at the front retreat. All the NPCs fire together and directly destroy their outer wall!”
”En!”
