Zhan Long

Chapter 1301- Changes again

War drums thundered on the plains. Sky Rose personally led the Iron Skull Army to prepare for the next wave of attacks. Her strategy was still the same, using tens of thousands of tanky cavalries to lead the way and then behind them were the attack cavalries and then Mages, Archers, Musketee and Healers.

On the side, the few Royal Army soldiers were pouring cold water on the Dragon Crystal Cannons to cool them down. The continuous firing had caused the cannons to be closed to exploding. Han Yuan took off his armor and wrapped his injured arm. His health dropped below 30% just now and he was actually badly injured. Lin Qiong and Situ Xin were slightly better and dropped to 50%. Because of these few NPCs that were about to die, if not I wouldn’t have called for us to retreat.

To Tian Ling City and China, these NPC generals were priceless. Their value in a war would increase. Like Lin Qiong and Han Yuan, each of them killed over 500 each. This was the skill level of a top player. Moreover, they had strong leadership and battle buffs. This country war was made up of many small battles so such generals were extremely precious. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ꜰire

……

Mu Xuan looked at the battlefield and said, “Seems like Sky Rose plans to battle us to the death here. Although we can revive and fight again but after all, it isn’t infinite. Sky Rose probably has such a plan.”

I frowned, “En, we are too passive.”

Lin Wan Er smiled helplessly, “No choice, there are too few of us, if we charge out, in just three hours we will get wiped out.”

“Right, wait. Once Sky Rose consumed most of her main force, we can strike.”

On the side, Yue Qing Qian suddenly said, “Brother Xiao Yao, the situation at War God River has changed!”

“En, what happened?”

Mocha smiled, “Fang Ge Que really is Fang Ge Que!”

“What is the news?”

Li Meng Yao said, “Brother look at the forums, Fang Ge Que won.”

“Oh?”

I clicked the forums and one news was red and pushed to the top--

Report (Country War): Fang Ge Que dug the mid level of the War God River and caused a whirlpool that swept the 2000+ simple boats of the Western Alliance, drowning over a million people. Fang Ge Que took the chance to lead Legend, Hero Mound etc guilds as well as Fire Dragon Army, Fire Axe Army and Violent Thunder Army to chase. Western Alliance collapsed and player Rhythm of the Rain has been killed by Fang Ge Que!

……

The system reported notifications of player kills so I actually missed out on this one! Rhythm of the Rain was the guild leader of America’s second guild so his death meant that China had won the War God River battle!

I relaxed, “I could finally heave a sigh of relief. Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword etc have crushed Western Alliance, they should be able to assist Fire God Mountain and Prohibited Dragon Land.”

Mocha nodded and smiled, “En, very soon!”

At that moment, the sound of war drums surged into the sky. A loud killing shout spread from the distance. Iron Skull City’s next wave had begun. Hundreds of thousands of cavalries charged toward us and caused dust to billow. This battle was really intense and each fight was a tough one.

“Keng!”

I pulled out Butterfly and Gan Jiang and smiled, “Prepare to fight!”

We pushed the formation down to the foot of the mountain. Dragon Crystal Cannons, Crossbow Carriages etc were all in position. Situ Xin even shipped tens of thousands of stone cannons from Tian Ling City. These stone cannons used mechanisms that could toss thousands of kilograms heavy stones. Although they weren’t as powerful as Dragon Crystal Cannons but if there were enough of them, their damage was still quite terrifying.

Sky Rose’s previous retreat brought us a rare chance. Royal Army and Guards Army had shifted many stones and placed them around the cannons to make up for the lack of Dragon Crystal Cannons.

Situ Xin held the bloodied spear and rode a white horse. The whole armor was covered in wounds but he was pumped up. He looked behind him and raged, “The Dragon Crystal Cannon cannonballs are getting fewer and fewer. Those damn officials faked the amount and we only have around 200 thousand cannonballs in storage. They actually said that we had a million. Now we have cannons but no ammo. Once this war ends, I will ask his majesty to take care of all of them!”

I nodded, “En, we can only try our best now.”

Situ Xin smiled, “Fight alongside The Executor, that is my honor!”

“...”

I didn’t say anything. In truth, I didn’t know where my charm came to actually made these NPCs so loyal to me. Maybe my charm was my goal to take down everyone for Tian Ling City and not get power and status for myself. Moreover… I was Lochlan’s teacher, The Executor and Suiding Duke. In truth, I was above everyone. However, I just focused on fighting and not caring about anything else.

I was a player and my dream was to unify the 7 kingdoms so I played this game for a purpose. As for the squabbles and power fights in game, I didn’t care about that.

Luckily this was a game, if not, I would have probably gotten killed by some scum official…

……

In a blink of an eye, the Iron Skull City Army was right ahead, it was going to be another intense massacre!

Zhan Long gathered 20 thousand Furnace God Cavalries and was led by the god grade players at the front. Appearance Alliance sent 30 thousand cavalries to defend the front lines. Apart from that, many players came from Tian Ling City including Legend and Hero Mound which sent close to ten thousand cavalries. All of this added a bit of confidence to our defence.

The amount of Dragon Crystal Cannons got fewer and fewer so I could only order the Royal Army to slow down the rate and replace it with stone cannon attacks. Buzzing sounds spread from behind me as giant stones flew towards the enemy formation. There were too many of them, tens of thousands at once such that hundreds of gryphon cavalries in the sky were destroyed randomly. They didn’t dare to be arrogant and just retreated.

The stones landed on the ground and one could hear thuds, smashing the horses along with the cavalries. Fresh blood splattered around and terrified the Iron Skull City players. They didn’t expect us to have stone cannons and also didn’t expect us to have such retaliation ability after the intense fight.

The frontline players pulled out their weapons and slashed in rage. Flesh and blood flew all over and Prohibited Dragon Land was covered in the flames of war once more.

……

I activated God Form and all sorts of skills exploded. I dealt the most damage on the server. Underworld Sword Breaking, Wind Carrying Slash etc two top holy element skills that dealt a huge amount of damage. Players couldn’t see the hidden damage element and the enemies couldn’t survive more than 3 seconds in front of me. I moved along the front and no one could stop me.

The battle continued and my points were top of the country war charts--

Xiao Yao Zi Zai (China) Points: 274120

Fang Ge Que (China) Points: 210390

Sky Rose (America) Points: 193740

Cang Yue (China) Points: 192300

Mu Xuan (China) Points: 191220

Dancing Forests (China) Points: 187330

Cang Tong (China) Points: 184220

For Love (China) Points: 179280

Demon Mountain (Germany) Points: 173290

Brown Eyes (Russia) Points: 172220

……

I was even a large amount higher than Fang Ge Que in second. Although Fang Ge Que had many kills at War God River but Prohibited Dragon Land was much more intense and we faced stronger enemies. We were able to defend fighting against more enemies which were why many of us were on the leaderboards. Dong Cheng Yue and Mu Xuan the two Mages were expectedly on the list. Dancing Forest was Zhan Long’s top Archer and had a supreme country weapon so it was normal that she was on the leaderboard. The surprising one was Lin Wan Er, the only Assassin in the top 10. Assassins were better at solo kills but were weaker in wars as they could get killed easily. But Wan Er was different she had God Armor and her defence increased in folds. She also had Little White to share health with so it was tough to kill her. She treated herself as a Warrior and with her few AOE skills, it was natural that she would be on the leaderboards.

Apart from that, along with Mocha’s equipment and level increasing, she was showing off her skills. She was ranked eight, hanging between the top Nine Heavens City player demon Mountain and Swirling Abyss City’s top player Brown Eyes!

“Defend, don’t panic!”

Wang Jian held his blade and continued to attack the Iron Skull City players while calming everyone down.

Iron Skull City was putting pressure on us. There were too many of them and they seemed endless but as we killed them, I noticed that something wasn’t right.

“Has Sky Rose appeared?” I asked in the party chat.

Yue Qing Qian shook, “No, I have not seen her yet.”

“She doesn’t want the country war MVP? She isn’t joining in?” I was surprised.

Lin Wan Er squinted her eyes, “The key is… Blades of War didn’t join in, they should have 60-70 thousand people, why aren’t any here?”

……

Right when I was confused, a war hawk knight landed. It was a Royal Army scout and he cupped his fists, “The Executor, we noticed a bunch of Nine Heavens City players coming south from War God River into Prohibited Dragon Land. They crossed the mountains and entered Iron Skull City’s camp.”

“What?”

I cursed. I thought about it all but didn’t expect Nine Heavens City to attack us now. This was bad!
