Chapter 381 – Bearing Down with the Weight of Mount Tai (1/2)

Attacking a dynasty wasn’t just a matter of words; it required a lot of preparation. Military forces, equipment, materials, etc. Especially when the other side had many experts that could only be restrained or killed with their own experts at corresponding ranks.

Moreover, they certainly would have to carry out siege warfare in the future. Small towns could be disregarded, but the kind of first-class main city required the soldiers to forcibly break in. This was the most effective method, but also the one that produced the most casualties. Iron Eagle and the other commanders couldn’t afford it.

However, everything became much more convenient now with Sky City, which could destroy a city without even attacking – by simply landing on it. Since the mission was to destroy the traitors of mankind and not conquest, there was no need to go easy. They just had to smash everything until there was no living person left.

After the discussion, Iron Eagle and the other higher-ups remained in Sky City. They stood on the edge of the city, looking down at the millions of NPC soldiers and players surrounding the small town. There were flashes of light from time to time when someone cast skills.

“Troops, ready to set out!” Iron Eagle passed down the order, and the army below immediately took action. As smoothly as flowing water, they quickly gathered into a phalanx, seething with killing intent like hounds ready to bite.

In his spare time, Lin Xi explained the identity of Iron Eagle to Fatty. The guy was one of the five great marshals of the Central Dynasty, his status second only to the Grand Marshal of All Troops. There were five legions under the Grand Marshal of All Troops, including the Blood Eagle troops of Iron Eagle, each having one million members. Originally, the five marshals of these five legions had their respective work and wouldn’t move areas easily. However, this attack on the Sun Dynasty was a serious matter, especially when the archenemy of mankind, the Demon race, was involved. Therefore, such a strong man was sent.

“Dragon, Tiger, Lion, Leopard, Eagle are the five marshals? Then Marshal Ferotiger is the Tiger?” It suddenly dawned on Fatty.

From how one Marshal Ferotiger was capable of leading his troops to contend with the five Demon Kings in Heavens Scar, one could understand the strength of the five marshals. The Central Dynasty sending Iron Eagle here just went to show their determination to destroy the Sun Dynasty.

Sky City slowly flew in the sky while the NPC troops and players followed it on the ground. During the flight, Fatty welcomed the members of God Familia, Misty Waterfall, Great Four Gates, Fierce Dragon Gang, and Rainrevelers into Sky City. Now that the peripheral defense had been built. Aside from large-scale army attacks, Fatty didn’t fear any guild.

Coming to Sky City, those who had already known that Fatty was the lord of Sky City could act composed, just a little curious, but those who learned for the first time that such a city was in the hands of a player was shocked into disgrace and secretly put up their guard against Fatty.

“Bro, this is Sky City? So big!” Qian Xiaoqian excitedly latched on Fatty's arm.

“A city that can fly, a flying fortress.” The eyes of the guild masters shone brilliantly. They just wanted to kick Fatty down and become the lord themselves.

“With this, what’s the need for sneak attacks and assassinations? We find someone unpleasing? No need to bully, no need for cannons, we fly-smash them! On the head!” shouted TheFugitive.

Amid the yelping of the aggressive war-lovers, Sky City traveled steadily and soon reached the defense line that the Sun Dynasty temporarily set up.

The ambush of Xuanhuang Ancient Country had blown up the Teleportation Portal, and the following series of explosions had blown up the millions of Demon troops as well as many of the Sun Dynasty people. In the killing later, the bombardment from Sky City under Fatty’s control finally had taken away the enemy’s last spirit, they had been forced to flee in misery and suffered many losses during the pursuit. Thanks to timely aid, they barely had managed to stand firm and even resisted the Xuanhuang pursuers.

Currently, the Demon army under the leadership of five Demon Generals had escaped to who-knew-where, leaving only the Sun Dynasty people stomping their feet yelling in frustration. Originally it had been a good plan, but the sudden turn of events not only thwarted their benefits, and also resulted in heavy losses in addition to being abandoned by the entire Human world. This was the shining lesson of going out for wool and coming home shorn.

“That flying fortress must be Sky City. As long as we capture it, it’s worthwhile even if our imperial city is breached.” In a military camp of the Sun Dynasty, several NPC generals and players were in discussion.

“With our current offensive force, we cannot hit Sky City at all.” There was an immediate rebuttal.

“Organize flying troops, we must win Sky City at all costs.” Some gnashed their teeth, others revealed visible greed in their eyes.

“Who will be the lord after we win Sky City?” This was the most important issue. As soon as it arose, the people who had been all assertive immediately lapsed into silence.

“Of course it will be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor,” the NPC generals all agreed, but their words were simply ignored by the players.

“We four great families of the Wind Forest Flame Mountain have the most number, it naturally should be ours,” said a player wearing a maple epaulet.

“Your fart! Our West River clan alliance has no fewer members than you,” someone retorted.

“What's the use of numbers? You’re just cannon fodder anyway.”

And then, the scene erupted into a quarrel. Before long, the sounds of metallic clanging could be heard along with flashes of magic; the impatient ones already resorted to violence.

“Someone come! Kill these bastards who dare to steal my Sky City!” someone shouted.
