Chapter 902 - Emperors Letter (1/2)
The moment the Royal Army cavalry stepped into the city, the NPCs on both sides cheered and welcomed their return. Tian Ling City was surrounded, so these people were definitely terrified. News of Emperor Owen being kidnapped also smashed their hearts like a lightning hammer. They couldn't even protect their emperor, so who could protect them?
There were still many players within the city. Many of them gathered on the city walls; they all had their swords and bows drawn as they prepared to fight. The Dragon Crystal Cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons that remained in the city were all taken out and placed on the city walls. Looking out, the defensive line of Tian Ling City had flags flying in the air and spears raised up. It was really solemn - the intense and depressing war atmosphere made it tough for anyone to breathe.
……
After repairing my equipment, I brought the members of [Zhan Long] to the north gate. The northern gate of Tian Ling City was still not shut and many players continued to return from outside. I boarded the city walls and waited for a moment while the battle at Fierce Wind Forest continued. At this time, Fang Ge Que sent a message to me, ”Guild Leader Xiao Yao, bring your men to defend Tian Ling City. We will fight the Hybrid Demons and the Moon City players outside, and when the time is right, we will enter the city. Just send people to defend the gates.”
”Understood, be careful.”
”Yes, sir.”
Lanais personally led her troops and I didn't know if the other Hybrid Demon Kings would come. The battle outside the city didn't look like it was going well, but the city still had to be defended. Although I wanted to lead my men out to kill to obtain achievement points and experience, I could only bear with it for now. Looking at the exhausted [Zhan Long] players, my heart felt a stabbing pain. I said, ”Li Mu, bring Wang Jian and the others offline to rest. Come online tomorrow morning; it should be fine.”
Li Mu nodded his head, ”You should also go offline to rest. Tian Ling City has at least two million players in the city participating in the defense. Moon City and Lanais won't be able to get into the city. Xiao Yao, you don't need to sleep, but Cang Yue and Cang Tong have to. Sleep is the best beauty method!”
”Eh? You still know how to care for others?” Dancing Forest smiled.
Li Mu grumbled, ”Of course, they're important members of [Zhan Long] and they have to be well maintained. As for certain Group Leader Archers, who cares? Just stay up.”
Dancing Forest raised her fist and then said toward me, ”Boss, I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I will sleep early. Is it okay if I come online after nine?”
”Okay.” I nodded, ”Then everyone prepare to head offline to rest and leave twenty percent of the players. Once some emergency happens, we will send messages or call them over.”
”Okay!”
I arranged the defensive duties of the Royal Army before going offline. The Royal Army really did what we were supposed to do which was to protect the city. That was our role. However, the enemy was really aggressive and not so easy to handle this time around.
...
When I went offline, it was already eleven. The chef made several delicious dishes before going to sleep, leaving the huge room for the two girls and me. Dong Cheng Yue poured some red wine for us, and it was said to cost over two thousand per bottle. Our lives were really high maintenance. The wine quickly wiped me out so I had to drink more to try to get tipsy. Accompanying two girls to eat and drink made me filled with delight.
”Tomorrow will be the second to last day of the country war!” Lin Wan Er waved the red wine glass in her hand.
I nodded my head, ”Yeah, we must defend Tian Ling City and we've pretty much won already.”
”Yes!” Dong Cheng Yue sat down and said, ”We have done too much this time: Flaming Cloud City, Waterfront City, Moon City, and Swirling Abyss City, they are all in chaos...”
I suddenly thought about something and said, ”What about Iron Skull City? There are many American players and their solo combat strength is quite high too. Now that the five main cities are in a mess, what are they doing?”
Lin Wan Er smiled, ”Iron Skull City has been grouping up players to attack the Chi You Tribe.”
”Chi You Tribe?”
”Yes, it is a map located in the southwest. I heard that it is a super huge map, and my few American friends have also joined the battle. I heard that the experience and equipment drops are extremely high and there are also be high-grade mounts. Otherwise, why do you think Sky Rose would give up on the country war?”
I frowned, ”This would be problematic. Once Iron Skull City finishes that map, they will probably attack us in the next country war.”
Dong Cheng Yue laughed, ”Don't worry. Iron Skull City and Tian Ling City are twenty hours away from one another. If they really attack, their NPCs will be useless. We can cut off their grain supply such that they have no chance at all.”
”Oh yeah, that makes sense. Quick, let's eat and then go sleep. Tomorrow we will wake up early and after this country war, let's take a few days off to rest. Let's not stay in the game every day.”
”Sure.”
