Although Sky Rose a number advantage but she still carefully pushed forwards. There were 1000+ crossbow carriages at the front and the stone cannons were being pushed. Behind them were the cavalry formation and then were the Archers and Mages. This was a typical safe formation.
……
One could hear the sound of horse hooves, armor clashing and blades being pulled out of their sheath. Our enemy was preparing to attack. The range of the crossbow carriages was 500 meters and in just a minute they would enter the range. In the skies, many players riding gryphons circled. Gryphons were Iron Skull City’s specialty mount, their stats were far above hawks and although they weren’t as strong as dragons but if there were many of them it was enough to give anyone a headache.
It was obvious that Sky Rose didn’t spend these few months slacking. Iron Skull City had over 100 thousand players with gryphons. Some of them were Warriors and cavalries, at the same time there were Archers too.
“How can Archers ride mounts?” Wang Jian held his Dragonhorse Blade and asked in shock.
Dancing Forest understood the situation, “They have a gryphon mountain with a Gryphon God Hall, if players do quests they can obtain a gryphon as a mount so Archers can ride them too. But they can only ride gryphons and not other mounts.”
Death God’s Elergy said, “That is so broken, even Archers can have mounts!”
“This is their specialty, it isn’t a bug!”
I pulled out Butterfly and said loudly, “Prepare to defend! Dragon Crystal Cannons, fire at will!”
The time for the final battle was here.
On the frontline, the Zhan Long cavalries pulled out their blades and held their shields in front of them. They were all really determined. The people we were facing were elites on the server, among them included America’s top guild Blades of War. They were the enemies that dealt the biggest threat. If we won here, we would become the top of the server without a doubt.
On the mountains, the cannons fired and left 50 meter mushroom clouds. I allowed them to enter before firing so the accuracy increased by a lot. Many players cried out in the flames and their health started to drop. The player equipment and levels were so high now so they rarely got insta killed but the health reduction affected their progress. After all, what faced them was one of China’s strongest guilds.
……
Each cannonball dealt around 300 thousand damage and for God Form players, they only took around 200 thousand. But the dense explosions caused thousands of Iron Skull City players to die before we even clashed. The frontline players raised their weapons and their cavalries started to charge at us. The stone cannons and crossbow carriages started to set up. Their main target was the players that we placed at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain stretched a few miles and they were all Tian Ling City players and NPCs. Close to 100 thousand players formed a barrier to protect the area and we waited for them to charge.
“Kacha!”
Butterfly thrust forwards and I killed a party leader Blades of War player. Before he died he still grabbed my handle and shouted, “Brothers, charge!”
I flipped my wrist and forced him back. Behind him were dozens of people. I waved my sword and used Wind Carrying Slash which killed dozens of them quickly. My gaze turned cold and I noticed that they had tens of thousands of crossbow chariots and stone cannons that attacked. Dense steel arrows and stones were tossed over!
Mocha looked clearly and shouted eagerly, “Shield Wall Defence!”
The frontline players raised their shields. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu etc dragonriders used the dragons to block the stone cannons and crossbow carriages. I jumped forwards and spread my left am. Star Region power started to gather and formed a giant star shield which protected the front of the formation. There were loud explosions and numerous attacks landed on the shield but it didn’t do any damage to me.
The moment Star Shield collapsed, Dancing Forest shouted, “Archer, shoot in an arc!”
Numerous arrows arced forwards and shot toward them. If Sky Rose’s formation pushing strategy was stable and safe, then my defence was even more perfect. Tens of thousands of archers hid at the foot of the mountain and used a ten meter height advantage to fire. This attack couldn’t be underestimated.
“Pu pu pu” our arrows continued to land in the crowd. Although we couldn’t insta kill them but it greatly damaged them. Before they took the second set of arrows, Fox held the musket and came to the back of the frontline, “Use your strongest skills, show the strength of our job!”
Their muskets were all the same, without needing to think, they were definitely by Palace Spirit.
In the next moment, the strong shots swept the crowd. Their strength wasn’t on the level of the Dragon Crystal Cannons but the accuracy and density were far more. All of a sudden the players that tried to charge fell. Especially Fox’s God Killing Cannon, three shots and a few full health cavalries were insta killed. That was shocking!
……
“Be careful, the gryphon archers!” Lin Wan Er pointed at the sky and shouted loudly, “Raise your shields and block their piercing damage!”
Sky Rose was the American Region commander and was going all out. Over ten thousand gryphon archers flew over and stopped 200 meters away from us. They didn’t; get any closer so our archers and mages couldn’t reach them. But they could use their height to fire at us!
“Heavy Armored god grade players use god form, follow me!”
I shouted and entered God Form. I stepped on the high grade god light and brought Li Mu, Xue Rou, Wang Jian etc. Facing us were the dense arrows of the gryphon archers. They landed on my face and chest and they hurt a lot. These were all elite Iron Skull City players and their armor breaking effect was strong. I tanked a hundred of their attacks and reached 70% health, luckily Star Shield’s CD was up!
“Shua!”
Using my flying speed advantage, I pretty much slashed at them with a sonic boom effect. Wan Er, Mocha, Li Mu etc used their skills too. I raised my hands and used Thundering Heavens+Dragon Totem. It was really eye catching and the entire sky was lit up.
Below, Chi Yu Qing led 20 thousand Flame Hawk Archers over!
“Scatter and continue to fire. Kill as many as you can!” A gryphon Archer ordered.
These bunch was strong. They spread out and their archery skills were really good such that the few god form players were in pain. Li Mu, Wang Jian and Old K all fled with low health while Lin Wan Er rode her dragon and opened her umbrella. The umbrella was strengthened because of god form and it was as if a giant shield was formed to help the rest escape.
“Damn!” An Archer raged, “It is too tough to fight for air control, retreat, their Fan Shu City NPC army is here!”
A bunch of them wanted to go but how would that be easy. Lin Wan Er, Mocha and I chased and held back thousands of them. A flame light shone behind me. The Flame Hawk Archers fired and killed close to 3000 of them but still 7000 of them escaped. Further forwards was their gryphon army so we better not chase. We didn’t want the tens of thousands of gryphon archers and few god grade players to die.
……
Sky Rose’s first try to sneak attack made her give up on such ideas. I moved 100 thousand Flame Hawk Archers from Fan Shu City over and they were a supreme air force. Luckily we had them, if not, Sky Rose’s gryphon army would be unstoppable. Once air superiority was lost, we would be in a tough fight.
The ground battle continued and the crossbow chariot’s attacks placed us on a backfoot.
This time their chariots were specially made and the arrows were really sharp even able to pass through the shields of weaker defence players. Tens of thousands of them firing at the same time so our losses racked up really quickly. Zhan Long’s Furnace God Cavalries were still okay, our defence was enough and only a few hundred of them died due to healers. Appearance Alliance had already suffered thousands of losses. A few small guilds were worse, some lost tens of thousands.
……
“The Dragon Crystal Cannons aren’t strong enough!” Li Mu looked at the heavy cannon camp.
I shook my head, “It isn’t that, it is that they are going all out. The kills is definitely far more than the chariots but I can see her goal. She wants to win. She probably wants to take Prohibited Dragon Land down in a few hours if not the next step of their plan can’t come in play.”
“Ah? What plan?”
“Li Mu, do you think that the Hybrid Demons can’t defeat Prague, Vanguard etc 10 million people guilds? You must know that there are no NPC troops there. Based on the Hybrid Demon strength, they would have broken through.”
“This… Then why aren’t they going all out?” Li Mu was silent.
“They are waiting.”
My gaze turned cold, “Although the Indians didn’t attack us but Clear Black Eyes want to rely on the Hybrid Demons to wipe us out! Sea of No Return is a chess piece, the dessert is one, the Swirling Abyss City players at Fire God Mountain are one too. Along with Sky Rose’s troops here, as long as a part falls, they would checkmate us!”
