Zhan Long

Chapter 1164: Breaking through the ambush

"Archers, prepare to fire!"

On the back of the piece of stone behind the dock, a bunch of Japanese Region players was gathered. The Mages and Archers all aimed their bows and staffs at me. They didn't even see who I was and just saw a red dragon wrapped in golden light descending from above. I was just spitting out flames and sweeping the ground.

"Shua shua shua..."

Arrows scattered and fell off Mei'er's shield. The damage dealt to me was also really small and they were just 3 digits of health. On one side it was because my Overlord Set's defence was high enough and the other reason was because Mei'er activated the Dragon God Shield. The invisible shield energy increased her defence and resistance.

"Attack, kill this dragonrider!"

In the bushes, 40+ Japanese cavalries charged out. I saw that they were from Casualty and their levels were between 190-205. These were players near the top of their region. From afar they used Breaking Dawn and Sword Break at Mei'er. They also jumped up with their swords shining gold, Double Hit!

I laughed and used Mei'er's skill- Dragon Energy Whirlwind. A red starlight-like energy whirlwind damaged the players that got close. Mei'er roared and clawed through the air, dealing damage to three players--

"242727!"

"211264!"

"281723!"

One was down to low health and two were killed. Red Dragon Claw stacked upon my damage and that was why it was so high!

Mei'er continued to fly forwards. I used Sword Tempest up on the dragon back and due to the dragonrider effect, the range was increased by 50% and a group was killed. I raised my sword and used Seven Star Fragment Slash at a close distance. Seven Star Fragment Slash had a 40 yard distance but after riding the dragon, it increased to 70 yards. The Archers and Mages cried out and fell instantly.

Behind me, Lin Wan Er rode her silver dragon and charged over. One breath and the Assassins in the bushes were revealed and all of them were down to low health. When they tried to flee, a silver crescent moon mark shot in. Lin Wan Er raised her arm and used Crescent Moon Storm to kill dozens of them.

In the back, the ships started to dock on the shore and players swam over. But the Hundred Abyss Cavalries of Hero Mound weren't restricted by this. Q-Sword led them to support us, slashing into the remaining Japanese players.

Dragons roared above me and the 31 Dragon City Dragonriders split up. Dragon spear and swords slammed douqi into the ground and caused the players and NPCs to panic.

...

Everyone disembarked and not long later, most of the Royal Army and Zhan Long players were on flat land. In front of us was fertile land and the center of the island was where Luobu's main army was at. Casualty and New Moon etc Japanese guilds were defending there too.

Frost Forest and Demon Moon weren't fools and they knew that they weren't our match at the shore. Their cannons weren't on the level of the china cannons. Their only chance was a wild battle making use of the land geography.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

A few rash generals wanted to launch an attack on the city but I stopped them. I ordered them to set up camp and scout the situation around before deciding. Anyways we were on Dragon Tail Island and we had the decision to make.

At this time, I was more and more like a general. What I wanted to do wasn't to charge but to set up a tent and win with the smallest price. After all, we spent hours to get here and if we died we had to make this trip again. Moreover, even if the dead wanted to come over, there might not be ships to bring them over.

Half an hour later, the War Hawk Knights and dragonriders returned and Dragon Tail Island's map was pieced together. Lin Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue, Q-Sword and Drunken Spear were here. Locking at the map, we all sighed. The island was huge. We could only shelf our plan to sweep through the island, if we continued to get deeper, we might sink right through. After all, we had less than 50% of the opposition.

"How should we fight this?" I asked.

Drunken Spear pointed at the map and said, "God Dragon Forest surrounds the main city and there is a mountain range that is protecting the city within. The entrance is a dangerous valley. If I am Frost Forest I will set up an ambush at the sides. Once we finish our grain, we would be trapped on this ridge."

Long Xing's face was ashen white, "General Zhou Ning... We have to take down the city within three days and get resources or else we can only dig wild grass to eat in the forest?"

Mocha blinked, "The key would be the few paths into the mountain range?"

Lin Wan Er held her dagger, "We have to fight in the wild."

I smiled, "Let's prepare to attack. We aren't at a disadvantage with this. Not only do we have top archers, mages, we also have a few dragon riders. It is decided, we push forwards. Let's just charge up through the mountains on the wings."

"Okay!"

We split up, Zhan Long on one side, Royal Army on one, Hero Mound on one and Drunken Spear on one. The dragon riders split up to assist each direction.

...

A few seconds later, tens of thousands of Zhan Long players spread across God Dragon Forest's mountain range. Xue Rou, Li Mu, Old K, Wang Jian, Fox, Song Han etc led everyone to push forwards. Lin Wan Er and I rode the giant dragons to fly above the trees. Actually, we all understood that we were forcing them into a corner. If we defeated them once more, Frost Forest, Demon Moon etc would lose to us in terms of levels and equipment. They would have no way back and it would be super difficult for them to make a comeback.

"Be careful!"

Dancing Forest warned, "There are Assassins ahead and Archers ambushing us!"

I looked at Li Meng Yao, "Meng Yao, push forwards boldly!"

Li Meng Yao smiled and held her Nuwa Stone, "Cavalry with more than 300 thousand health head forwards with me, slice their ambush!"

A bunch of Furnace God Cavalry rushed forwards in defensive stance. The horses stepped on traps and vines but that couldn't stop us. When their archers stood up to fire, Meng Yao and the others used Heavenly Shield Wall to defend.

"Keng keng keng..."

The arrows bounced off the shields and dealt decent damage.

I shouted and led Mei'er over, "Mei'er, use your dragon breath to burn them!"

Mei'er opened her mouth and her breath swept the crowd. Those who were hit all suffered from over 150 thousand magic damage. I raised my arm to toss Gan Jiang and a thick whirlwind current swept the crowd. I killed 9 people and sent their formation into chaos.

Li Meng Yao led Little White to spit out flames and the hundreds of meters of dragon breath caused a sea of flames to appear on the mountain range. Li Mu, Xue Rou etc attack players swept forth and finished the ambush players on the mountain. They were probably going to revive in the city at the center?

But that was fine, we will kill them when we attacked until they accepted their loss!

...

Night fell and flames started to burn on parts of the mountain. Han Yuan even ordered the Saint Hall Cavalry to push the God Dragon Cannons up to fire. It was as if a god had descended on the island.

We continued forwards and there were many players hiding above a giant piece of rock. There were at least tens of thousands of them and they had dozens of cannons. But this didn't stop us. Lin Wan Er and I broke through and with Qing Luo and 5 dragon riders helping, we suppressed them from the sky. Li Mu, Old K, Wang Jian, Xue Rou etc charged forwards without any skill and crushed them with pure stats.

The Japanese players fell to this island and their resources were already lacking. They didn't have the chance to fight the Hybrid Demons and the monsters here were lower than those at Tian Ling City by 5-10 levels so their speed was slow. Their average level was 8 lower than us so that was lethal. As such, their attacks towards us was greatly reduced and their skill accuracy dropped. Li Mu, Wang Jian etc players charged, ignoring their stuns. With a 10 level gap, the chances of a stun was even less than 20%?

They had over 500 thousand people ambushing around but it didn't do much.

...

When it was close to dawn, news came from all directions that we had successfully broken through.

When the first bit of light shone on Mei'er's red scales, a dense group of Tian Ling City players and NPCs were lined up within the valley. Even further away, a golden main city bathed in the sun.

Golden Scale City, the only city on Dragon Tail Island.
