Chapter 211 Relentless Retaliation And War
Dark clouds still covered the sky.
The b.l.o.o.d.y war dragged on.
There were many reinforcements a.s.sisting the City of Dawn. The arrival of tens of thousands of Seraphkin and the fearless Tauren Warriors, all these unexpected events astonished the players.
Lord William! He was only a 17-year-old prince, but he was highly respected by many players.
He killed many dark creatures at the base of the cliff.
Even after more than ten hours, he was still fighting. Moreover, he had not taken a break.
He instilled fear in the dark creatures.
When he sat down to recover, not even a single dark creature dared to get more than 30 meters close to him.
What was this?
He was a powerful ruler.
He was the powerful ruler of this region.
But the most astonishing thing had happened.
At noon, it should have been a short period of rest.
But just as the dark creatures were about to retreat,
Boom!
The cliff body below the City of Dawn crumbled in pieces.
Two huge gigantic city gates rose up from the ground.
None of the players knew that there was a tunnel underneath the cliff. They were not aware that the City of Dawn planned on retaliating.
When the dark creatures saw the two city gates, they had the urge to charge inside.
But in the next moment, Bolts of lightning emitted from the left city gate, and they struck hundreds of square meters of the battlefield.
A 3,000 soldier cavalry rode on the Thunder Warhorses and sped past the mountains of corpses. They galloped over the dark creatures and crushed them into meat paste.
Hundreds of Trolls led by b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher dashed through the right city gate and charged at the dark creatures.
These Trolls had been equipped with huge Gold-quality armor that cost hundreds of times more than the armor of a normal soldier.
The Trolls measured three to five meters tall. They were like iron juggernauts as they bashed the dark creatures to the ground.
“That’s the Blade Cavalry Legion of the City of Dawn,” a player shouted in excitement as he slapped on the wall.
“Besides the heavy cavalry, there are Trolls. Are the Trolls on our side? Are there 100 of them?” Both the players and the NPCs were shocked alike by the unexpected event.
According to logic, Trolls were extremely difficult to control.
The Trolls were more likely to be an ally of the dark creatures. But the situation had changed!
The Trolls had become the killing machines for the City of Dawn.
The 3,000-strong cavalry split into two teams after they exited the city gates. The Human cavalry, together with the horses, had been equipped with Gold-quality armor. They were like a metal tsunami that ravaged through the dark army.
In front of the cavalry, was William. He shouted, “Throw the spears!”
“Throw the spears!” The cavalry echoed.
As the 1,500-strong cavalry galloped, they took out their short spears from their waists and threw them forward!
It resulted in an effect that was similar to shooting arrows from the heavy-duty crossbows.
The spears gained powerful momentum from the galloping horses and the tossing action of the soldiers.
When the short spears that were charged with battle energy fell to the ground, countless dark creatures collapsed. Their skulls and backs had been penetrated by the spears.
The greatest impact of the cavalry was its relentless speed. If the cavalry slowed down, it would be a living target for the dark army. And even though the Thunder Warhorses were magical beasts, they would also be vulnerable.
The most important factor in maintaining the speed of the cavalry was the person leading the cavalry, William.
He was like a steadfast lightning bolt that sliced through the dark army.
The heavy cavalry behind William wielded powerful blades. With the strong galloping power of the Thunder Warhorses, the dark creatures only had two outcomes. They were either sliced or crushed into meat paste.
That was the main goal of the heavy cavalry.
They aimed to cut through the dark army and leave behind a trail of blood and death.
Meanwhile, the 1,500-strong light cavalry left the main battlefield under the lead of Legolas. They shot waves of arrows that wiped out great numbers of dark creatures.
The light cavalry could outrun the dark creatures while shooting arrows at them. The dark creatures were agitated as they could not catch up with the light cavalry.
That was the crux of the light cavalry.
The light cavalry should not have direct combat with the enemy.
The strength of the light cavalry lied in the ability to shoot the arrows while on horseback. That was the reason why the light cavalry consisted of Elves.
They were deadly accurate.
On the other side of the battle, b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher led his Trolls and clobbered the dark creatures who could not retreat fast enough.
Regardless of whether they were carrion monsters, vampires, undead, darkness soldiers, all of them succ.u.mbed to the great maces of the Trolls.
The combat power of the Trolls was greater than all other legions.
But the most important among them was b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher.
He was an Advanced Troll with Epic bloodlines, and his body was covered with dragon scales. He reached six meters in height, and his Health Points were over 100,000. He had been equipped with dark Gold-quality armor, and he wielded the Epic mace. When he charged, he was like a tank that was out of control.
What about the Dark Lizards that were a few meters in height?
When the Blood Crusher’s mace crushed down.
The Dark Lizards were flattened…
What about the carrion monsters that were comparable to the Trolls?
The carrion monsters had inferior bloodlines, and they did not possess any equipment. They were no match for the superior Trolls!
b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher sent the carrion monsters flying with a single punch. When the monsters landed, b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher would stomp and crush their skulls.
b.l.o.o.d.y Crusher was not fond of other superfluous combat moves.
To the Trolls, death to the enemy was the most direct move!
The Trolls loved to charge into battle with their maces.
The normal Intermediate dark creatures were far inferior to the Trolls.
Only smart creatures could defeat the Trolls…
The Advanced professionals of the City of Dawn already knew about this plan. They flew down the cliff and attacked the vulnerable dark creatures. They wanted to inflict the most damage within this two-hour window.
The ma.s.sacre of the dark creatures ensued.
It was not until one and a half hours after noon that the defenders returned to the city.
At this moment, the Advanced warriors of the City of Dawn had made use of their resting period to recover their battle energies.
At other times, they were fully engaged in battle.
Lord William was wounded when he returned to the city. But he continued his vigilance on the ramparts. His subordinates wanted to tell William to take a rest.
But n.o.body dared. They could not tell William to rest.
Everyone understood. It was only because the Advanced warriors guarded the city walls, that the dark creatures were unable to gain a foothold in the war.
Wherever there was danger, the Advanced warriors would be there to repulse the dark creatures.
Wherever there was a ma.s.sing of the dark creatures, they would be there to provide support.
For example, William. From the beginning of the war, he had been guarding the base of the cliff alone. He endured the most vicious attacks and faced the most powerful opponents.
He fought until the dark creatures had no choice but to make a detour around William.
On the second day, the City of Dawn suffered 2,100 casualties.
What about the future?
How was the war going to be fought?
Everyone pondered over the questions.
Some people even felt it was hopeless.
William did not speak any words.
He silently stood by the city walls like a steadfast statue.
He knew. Other people could rest, but he could not.
It was because he was like a King in the hearts of the commoners. He was the invincible G.o.d of War and the most powerful Lord William.
As long he was standing here, it would give the people hope.
It would give the warriors the morale to win.
Hence, William would not relent. At the very least, it was still not the time to rest. Because, the war was relentless.
This was the Darkness invasion.
It was a war that did not allow any rest.
“Moreover, I’m half a player. I have the data. My Stamina and Mental Strength are slowly recovering. How can I be tired?” William had a slight smile while he gazed at the front with his squinted eyes.
Someone was waving at him…
William was not able to see clearly…
