Chapter 408 – Chaos (2/2)
In the past few days, many demons had tried to rush out, but as a consequence were all killed by cannon fire from Sky City. In the early stage, an entire army had stormed out, only to be bombarded by the magic crystal cannons all at once. The cannons bore big gaps in the army and insta-killed most, scaring them to flee in a sorry state. Later, the Demon experts took advantage of the night to ambush but were stopped by the vice marshals and had to run back in tatters. Now, there were only scattered attacks with the intention to probe, all of which died down under the fierce fire of Sky City.
“News from the Imperial Capital is that chaos has erupted in the country and experts have been sent in teams to clear out the Demon troops that have appeared inexplicably. They are unable to reach Heavens Scar right now. We’re ordered to defend this place to the death and not let any demons in,” Liu Lan informed Fatty.
Fatty nonchalantly waved his hand. “Defend it, then defend it. Nothing to do with me.”
“Fatty, Fatty!” East Gate BlowingWind’s urgent call for help came from the communicator. “Come help! Or else our base is doomed!”
East Gate BlowingWind was quite down on his luck. A Demon group happened to appear around his guild base named The Great Four Gate Town and attacked without hesitation. Fortunately, the Demon group was small while there were a large number of players in the base, which allowed them to barely hold out. However, the players still suffered heavy casualties and their base was going to be broken through soon.
Fatty glanced at the entrance of Heavens Scar below in hesitation, then helplessly said, “It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I have to stay here. If Heavens Scar is breached by the Demon army, even the Imperial Capital may be lost.”
Despair fell on East Gate BlowingWind upon Fatty’s answer. Looking at the demons charging again, he shouted and rushed out with his sword.
Hearing the roar transmitted through the communicator, Fatty sighed and said to Liu Lan, “You guys keep an eye on this place. I’m going to help The Great Four Gates a little.”
The teleportation routes connecting Sky City and the bases of the friendly guilds had already been connected. When Fatty appeared on the other side, he was immediately greeted by a scene of mayhem and players madly roaring as they disregarded everything to pounce at the demons. And these demons, all cavalry dressed in black armor and riding black Demonic beasts, charged like the wind, reaping numerous lives in one attack.
The four leaders of the Great Four Gates had blood all over them from the fighting. Without the priests' especially healing them, they would have died long ago.
Fatty jumped out and held back East Gate BlowingWind, shouting, “You guys move back and tidy up. I'll take over.”
Without waiting for a reply from East Gate BlowingWind, Fatty shouted and sent out the Elemental Sword Diagram.
The diagram rotated in the air and wrapped the charging cavalry, trapping over half of them in the sword formation. Leaving the lesser half to the other players, Fatty disappeared into the formation.
The Elemental Sword Diagram could take on Divine experts, so it easily tackled these cavalry demons of only the 7th to 8th enhancement. After a storm of hundreds of light swords, the thousands of cavalry became corpses on the ground.
Retrieving the sword diagram and stepping out of it, Fatty summoned the Elemental Skill Book and tossed out a slew of Advanced spells. Fire, water, earth, and ice spells flew out in succession. After a period of scorching flames before freezing ice, followed by cracking earth and scouring water, the remaining Demon cavalry troops were quickly handled, only a few dozen left fled in misery.
“Fatty, you… aren’t you a little too perverse?!” East Gate BlowingWind gawked.
Fatty shyly smiled. “This is nothing. If it had been my Sky City, only one cannon is needed for those few horsemen.”
Everyone’s gratitude for Fatty instantly blew up in smoke and they all gave him the middle finger in unison. If Sky City was here, even a newbie could easily slaughter that cavalry.
Turning serious, Fatty earnestly told East Gate BlowingWind, “Chaos reigns in the country and demons are everywhere. I can come and help in time this time, but next time it might just be impossible. For your own consideration, I advise you to give up this base.”
The base was the foundation of a guild. Giving up their base was equal to giving up on the future of the guild, which would lead to its members quitting soon. The leaders of the Great Four Gates lapsed into silence at this.
Fatty sighed and continued, “You know about Uncle Bai Xiaosheng’s situation. Though I admire him very much, unnecessary sacrifices are undesirable. If you give up your base, I formally invite you to join Sky City. Let us fight for world peace together.”
“Peh,” West Gate BlowingSnow spat. “World peace my arse, more like to better bully people! Brother, no need to think further. As Brother Grubber said, he was able to help us this time, but next time, we might not have this kind of good luck.”
“Alright.” East Gate BlowingWind sighed, his face bleak. “Let all our brothers go to Sky City and take everything they can from the base with them. We’ll come back to rebuild our base after the demons are done and dealt with.”
