Chapter 1225: Battle to defend the city

Night slowly descended on Dragon City. It was dawn and snowflakes floated in the sky. The terrifying snow descended on the city once more. Actually, it was autumn now and most of the Tian Ling City NPCs were equipped with thin clothing and armor. Many Xia Yu Army and Royal Army troops were wearing new autumn gear.

…

“Sir.”

A Royal Army general stood behind me and she was a Major. Her sleeves had two golden circles sewn onto it and in front of her chest was a purple flower. That was the mark of soldiers of the empire. She looked really cold and her cheeks didn’t have the tenderness that a girl of her age should have. She said coldly, “Yin Huo’s army has arrived 5 miles outside of Dragon City. They are all Shura Cavalries, around 200 thousand of them.”

“En.”

I nodded and looked at her name, “Jing Yin, you should be able to see Han Yuan and Xiao Lie’s flags right? It is snowing and who knows how long would this last.”

Jing Yin smiled, “Don’t worry sir, General Han Yuan uses flames as a signal and even when it snows we would be able to see the situation on the mountain. But sir, if we fire from the peak, the Hybrid Demons might send their main force there. Although the peak is high but it won’t be able to be defended for long.”

“It is fine.”

I looked at the snow and in the distance, flames were shining in the snow. They were finally here. 50 thousand Flame Hawk Archers from Fan Shu City who had 110% of my stats. Their strength alone was enough to defend against the Hybrid Demons attacking the mountain. Moreover, there were 50 thousand Cliff Dragon Cavalries coming. With them, they would be able to deal a fatal blow.

In the past, we didn’t bring Fan Shu City’s NPC troops to attack the Hybrid Demon Territory. Now that they were attacking Dragon City, we had to let them know the price they had to pay.

…

The troops on Dragon City were laying in wait. Jing Yin, Long Xing, Autumn Leaf etc majors led the 40 thousand Royal Army troops here to battle. Apart from that, Xia Yu Army, Fire Axe Army, Autumn Harvest Army etc armies had many troops here. The rest were players. The players had a larger activity space. Around 200 thousand were on the walls, and there were over a million at the north cliff waiting for the Hybrid Demons to attack.

“The Executor, the Vanguard Army is in position.” A War Hawk Knight descended from above and said.

I nodded. The Vanguard Army was the Earth Ocean Army. Qin Yi was afraid of dying so I placed his Earth Ocean Army as the vanguard so that he would face the Hybrid Demons first. Good, let these timid rats be the cannonfire. Those that can live would be bloodthirsty and courageous. Those that died weren’t worthy of sadness either.

Jing Yin followed behind me and asked, “Sir, Qin Yi… Can he be trusted? I suspect once they fight they will collapse. Why not just not place them on the frontlines.”

“I anticipated that too.”

I lowered my head and looked at the accumulating snow, “Why not you bring ten thousand Royal Army troops down to monitor them. If someone retreats without fighting then slice their head. Bring my token, no one will dare not to follow.”

Surprise and nervousness flashed across her face, “Sir, really?”

“Of course, just go!”

“Yes sir, I won’t disappoint you!”

…

I looked on as this female general turned around to leave,

I was quite happy. When I wasn’t in Royal Army, many young generals grew up. Royal Army had 15 Majors now, 150 thousand troops. Apart from Han Yuan, Long Xing, Autumn Leaf, Xiao Lie and Ling Luo, many people had become leaders.

Not far away, Frost, Zhi Shu, Qing Luo etc were arranging the defence. In the backline, many dragon riders were ready to go. They hadn’t fought Hybrid Demons in a long time. Since getting dragon riders, this was the first army battle. Their faces were filled with excitement. Moreover, Tian Ling City, Jiu Li City, Ba Huang City and Fan Shu City sent troops over. This was a huge war and Dragon City had become the focus of the entire server.

Frost held her sword and smiled at me, “Thank you for bringing so many troops from Tian Ling Empire to help us. If not I would have no confidence at all.”

I wanted to smile but worry froze on my face, “Frost how much chance do you think we have? The empire sent millions to assist but the Hybrid Demon Army shouldn’t be any lesser than us.”

“I don’t have an idea.” Frost looked at the light from the Hybrid Demon Army, “Azure, Sif, Qin Ge etc lords personally leading their army. Honestly, without them, I am sure we will win but with Azure here, everything is unknown. We will try. The rest will depend on the heavens.”

“En.”

Qing Luo pointed into the distance and said, “Quick look, Yin Huo is attacking!”

As expected, the horns sounded. The Hybrid Demon Army sounded out the horn signaling attack. North of Dragon City was total darkness but we could see many blue torches shaking in the snow. Yin Huo led 200 thousand Shura Cavalries along with 200 thousand random hybrid demon troops to attack!

Under the mountain, Earth Ocean Army stopped moving. They looked forwards nervously. When Shura Cavalries appeared, finally, the battle had begun!

…

Xue Rou and Li Mu led 10 thousand Zhan Long players to fight. Naturally, I couldn’t maintain behind to defend. I pulled out my swords and waved to Zhi Shu and Frost before charging down. I did so for the points and also to kill more of them.

When I landed, a bunch of Shura Cavalries used their Ten Thousand Blades to strike the players. I used Ice Domain+Sword Tempest to rip their formation apart. Xue Rou charged from behind me and used Starry Sky to increase her defence and attack. She then used Star Slash and Blade Spin to strike the monsters. Li Mu and Wang Jian led the dragons to fly and also toss skills down into the crowd. The main force was the thousands of Furnace God Cavalry who killed many Shura Cavalries.

500 meters from us, Legend was hit too. Enchanted Painting and Fang Ge Que led their men to defend. The formation adjusted slightly. On the other side, Prague’s 20 thousand was at the front of all formations. Yan Zhao Warrior was at the front of Prague, he was going all out to get points this time.

…

“Hong!”

In the distance, a flame light spread out in the crowd and swept a group of people. It was Yin Huo’s AOE skill!

The place that Yin Huo attacked was the Wrath of the Heroes camp. Liu Ying really was unlucky. Yin Huo found his guild right away. No choice, he could only fight back. With Piggy’s support, Wrath of the Heroes slowly gained some fame and were creating the image of a super guild. If they collapsed now, then all their previous hard work would be useless.

“Cavalries push your shields forwards and hold on!”

Liu Ying held his sword and charged to deal 18000+ damage to Yin Huo. After which he retreated to not get attacked. He retreated while shouting, “Our Wrath of the Heroes can’t get looked down on. We have to shut up those that look down on us. Even if we all die, we can’t lose this land. Since Yin Huo chose us then it is our duty to kill him!”

His words pumped everyone up but their strength was a whole different issue. Piggy ordered the Archers to stun, the Mages to reduce speed but Yin Huo continued to fight. Each axe killed dozens of people and all of a sudden Wrath of the Heroes’s camp was badly damaged.

Large numbers of Shura cavalries charged at our camp. I blocked at the front of Zhan Long’s camp and waved my swords. I didn’t care about my own health. It was good if I died, I had the feeling to die today. If I didn’t use Overlord Rebirth several times, I wouldn’t be able to help Frost much. Maybe the Overlord Set would be a huge changing factor today!

“Ka!”

I sliced a Shura Cavalry’s neck and blood splattered on my face. I raised up to wipe it off while looking at the city. It was time!

Cannons fired. The Dragon City Dragon Crystal Cannons had fired!

In the next moment, the area in front of me started to explode. The mushroom clouds caused the cold weather to feel hot. The Shura Cavalries suffered heavy losses. Yin Huo was furious and ordered them to charge. There were just too many of them and the Dragon Crystal Cannons couldn’t cover them all.

I looked towards the Blade Mountain, it was time?

A few seconds later, the area in front was lit up. A God Dragon Cannon cannonball exploded and swept up hundreds of Shura Cavalries. Apart from that, there were many Lamp Zombies and Crescent Moon Nuns that were hit. Some were instantly killed.

“So strong…” Xue Rou laughed.

Another 9 God Dragon Cannon attacks turned the area in front into ruins. No one expected the human cannons to be so strong that even level 8 Hybrid Demons weren’t able to block it!
