"Weather the storm! Those Iron Arm Apes will deal ma.s.sive damage to the walls! We can"t let them pa.s.s!"
A bunch of Dragonlight Cavalrymen turned around and eyed the giant beasts in the distance with cautiousness.
The Iron Arm Apes started to cry out before leaping forward, their hind legs bursting with energy. They charged forward swiftly, like arrows loosed from a bow! None of us had expected that they would move at such astonis.h.i.+ngly great speeds.
Swhoos.h.!.+
I was left shocked when an Iron Arm Ape dashed past me at lightning speed.
"G.o.d d.a.m.n! They"re too quick!" Gui Guzi shouted.
In the next instant, the ten Iron Arm Apes had already reached the city walls. They stretched out their giant arms and swung them at the China players standing on the top of the wall!
"Block! Magic knights, activate Holy s.h.i.+eld!" Hot and Sour Noodles who was on the city walls yelled out.
Bang!
Seven magic knights formed a s.h.i.+eld formation but were all sent hurling through the air with a single attack of the Iron Arm Ape. Some were sent flying outside the city while others landed inside. After that, the eyes of the Iron Arm Ape turned crimson and it waved its arms around wildly. Loud bangs rang out as it started pounding its limbs on the city walls, killing countless archers and mages instantly.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes held her staff in one hand and casted her spells. Powerful icicles soon slammed down on the Iron Arm Ape"s head while she shouted, "You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Come and kill me!"
She successfully managed to draw the attention of those Iron Arm Apes as they turned to follow her. They raised their arms high up only to bring them down violently onto Stranger of Three Lifetimes. She quickly activated her Magic s.h.i.+eld and successfully blocked their attacks. Stranger of Three Lifetimes" Magic Attack was extremely high and thus, her Magic s.h.i.+eld"s durability was many times higher than a normal mage"s.
On the other side of the battlefield, Beiming Xue pulled her bowstring and released Shock Arrow. The arrow exploded among a group of Iron Arm Apes and successfully stunned them. "Bombard them with attacks! Slaughter these Iron Arm Apes first!"
A group of mages continued to cast their incantations and unleashed their spells on their enemies.
Boom, boom, boom!
The Iron Arm Ape continued to smash at the city walls with its iron-like limbs, sending pieces of rocks hurling through the air. Our arrow towers collapsed one by one and within a short moment, the city walls were in a complete state of mess.
Fortunately for us, the Iron Arm Ape"s health continued to drop under our continuous attacks. Killing it was not an extremely difficult task as its max HP was lower than the Phantom Wolf King"s. It was just shocking how much damage it could do to the city walls from its powerful attacks, that"s all.
Swhoosh...
The Dragonlight Cavalrymen were enveloped in a golden ray once again as they activated Charge in their battle formations., stunning every Iron Arm Ape in their way.
Beiming Xue ran along the city walls alone before jumping onto the Iron Arm Ape"s shoulder nimbly. Steadying herself, she pulled on her bowstring and unleashed Evil Spirit Volley above the head of another Iron Arm Ape. She was aiming for the Level 157 tamer on a ten-limb Iron Arm Ape!
"Hey!"
A tamer laughed as he tilted his body slightly to the side and the word “MISS” floated above his head. He had managed to angle himself such that he only took two out of ten of Beiming Xue"s arrows, losing only half of his HP.
"Haha! Little missy, are you trying to kill me? Dream on! You"re just a puny little archer!" The tamer laughed arrogantly.
That Iron Arm Ape raised its arm and started to punch itself on its shoulder in an attempt to smash Beiming Xue.
Beiming Xue remained calm as she pulled her bow strings once again. She activated a skill that would increase her speed and soon, a green pair of wings started to circle around her ankles. In the next instant, Beiming Xue"s figure flashed and disappeared. She ran along the Iron Arm Ape"s limb at lighting speed, charging toward the ten-limb ape.
Bang!
Beiming Xue looked like a beautiful sprite who grasped her hands tightly onto the Iron Arm Ape"s waist and quickly climbed her way up its arm. As she reached its shoulder, she swiftly pulled on her bowstring and unleashed Storm Arrow!
The tamer turned pale with shock and retreated rapidly, brandis.h.i.+ng his whip as he did so. With a flick of his wrist, the whip made a cracking sound as flames shrouded it instantly. Swinging the whip at Beiming Xue, the two leather-armor players started their exciting duel then and there!
11263!
Beiming Xue lost more than 10000 HP from taking a single hit from that whip. However, she had actually caught the end of the whip in one hand and started to coil it around her arm. She raised her right arm and slung her bow behind her before taking out a dagger from her waist. The dagger gleamed with an icy chill as she forcefully pulled on the whip, using it as a rope to climb onto the Iron Arm Ape"s head.
"d.a.m.n it! What are you gonna do!?" The tamer started to panic. He did not imagine that this pretty little China lady would have such great melee skills!
Beiming Xue"s lips curved into a sweet smile as she said, "Anyone who dares stir up trouble for big bro must die!"
Pcchtt!
Her blade swept past her opponent"s throat and a string of damage numbers started to float above his head. The tamer started to grow dizzy as Beiming Xue kept on zigzagging around him. He simply could not catch her movements as she was too quick for him. Her dagger gleamed with an icy chill as she brought it down violently and unleashed Freeze!
18773!
The tamer let out a pitiful wail as the rest of his HP was deleted by Beiming Xue. He collapsed on top of the Iron Arm Ape"s head and dropped a piece of bread as well as a whip with an orange glow. That leather whip was without a doubt an extremely powerful weapon for tamers.
Beiming Xue picked the whip up and threw it into her inventory. The moment the tamer was killed, the ten-limb Iron Arm Ape also collapsed with a cry. After all, a pet was unable to continue fighting without its owner.
The giant Iron Arm Ape collapsed with a loud bang. Beiming Xue who was standing on the head of the Iron Arm Ape let out a surprised cry as she started to fall from a height of more than ten meters.
I quickly swung my sword at a group of Northern Alliance riders, causing them to back off instantly. I dashed toward Beiming Xue and spread out my arms to catch her midair. When Beiming Xue noticed who her savior was, she smiled from ear to ear and said, "Big bro, did I do well?"
"Mn! Not bad at all! Go on up!"
I curled an arm around her ample bosoms and threw her toward the city walls. Beiming Xue resembled a cute little kitten as she landed ever so nimbly on a cloud ladder by the city walls. She grasped the cloud ladder with one hand as she turned her head to look at me and smiled. "Big bro please be careful! Don"t die too quickly alright!"
"Alright, I got it…"
I cursed under my breath as my mind suddenly turned blank. "G.o.ddammit! I"ve been stunned by the enemies!" Taking advantage of that tamer"s Iron Arm Ape"s attack, a large group of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen started to charge at us once again. Those riders were highly leveled and had powerful equipment. They could easily use Charge on me while I was stunned!
……
Clang, clang, clang!
My Ghost Deity Armor trembled from a string of attacks on my back but I was not worried about being one-shot. I had Murong Mingyue, Moon Dew and the other priests healing me after all. Moreover, my max HP was about 160000! If you want to one-shot me, you"ll have to pay with your life!
"Get lost!"
I swiftly turned around after the stunned effect wore off and unleashed Thousand Ice Slash amid a group of enemies. Streams of icy aura were shot at a dozen Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen, freezing them instantly. As they stood rooted to the spot, a group of mages from Blazing Hot Lips unleashed three rounds of Galaxy Storm, killing every single one of them instantly.
At this moment, the city gates were thrown wide open!
At least 5000Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen started to charge out of the city. Hot and Sour Noodles raised his sword and bravely charged into a group of enemies as his cavalry followed closely behind. The counter-charge was a great success and stumped Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry"s advance instantly!
Hot and Sour Noodles was a great strategist. He deliberately cut off the enemy"s path of retreat and coordinated with the Dragonlight Cavalry and the long-range cla.s.ses on top of the city walls. He had every intention to slaughter these 20000Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen!
"Lu Chen! The Greedy Wolf Cavalry will cover you! Kill them quickly!" Hot and Sour Noodles shouted from afar.
I nodded my head, raised my sword and shouted, "Dragonlight Cavalry! Eliminate Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry! Kill every single player with a red ID! Show them no mercy!"
Charging toward the enemy, 1000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen split their forces into five groups. He Yi, Gui Guzi, Heaven"s Rain, Diamond Dust and I led groups of two hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen each. We activated our Famous General Skills and charged back and forth, eliminating every Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalryman in our way. Volleys of spells and arrows continued to rain down on the enemy while healing spells of our priests enveloped us. The Dragonlight Cavalry grinned with bloodl.u.s.t as they continued to ma.s.sacre their enemies bravely.
The intense battle lasted for an hour until the battlefield was finally ridded of every single Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalryman. We even managed to kill three Heroic Bannermen during that battle! News about the Nation Wars had clearly stated that half of the ninety Heroic Bannermen who entered Dawn City had been killed in battle. Even if the Northern Alliance won in the end, it would not be a glorious victory. Moreover, we had not given up yet! They would have to give up their lives before they can take Dawn City!
……
Hot and Sour Noodles" remaining 3000 Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen returned to the city to repair their equipment. Righteousness had suffered great losses in order to annihilate the 20000-strong unit of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry. However, it could be seen that Hot and Sour Noodles was indeed a good commander. From that intense battle alone, he displayed both boldness and selflessness.
The powerful attacks of the Northern Alliance continued on. A large number of siege towers continued to advance slowly with the help of the giant beasts. Those siege towers stood as tall as the city walls and had a tough exterior which made it extremely difficult for us to destroy it head-on. The siege tower had a drawbridge and when lowered, it would create a path for our enemies to enter the city with ease.
"Archers, unleash Spiraling Arrow Blades! Blast those siege towers!" Hot and Sour Noodles shouted from the city.
A bunch of archers quickly did as they were told, unleas.h.i.+ng their arrows at the siege towers, striking the outer sh.e.l.l protecting the machines. However, the damage they had dealt was minimal at best! G.o.ddammit! These siege towers are truly tanky! We definitely can"t rely on the archers to take down!
Twenty siege towers were only a hundred yards from our city walls! We were in grave danger now!
Hot and Sour Noodles was so nervous that his forehead was drenched in sweat. Turning to me, he shouted, "Lu Chen, think of something! We cannot allow those siege towers to attack our walls head-on!"
I nodded my head and raised my sword with a laugh. "Comrades! Let"s get down to business!"
Gui Guzi, Xu Yang and the rest laughed heartily before we urged our horses forward and charged out. High Fighting Spirits charged from the side and managed to crawl under it! With a shout, a circle of light appeared around him as he activated Xiezhi Howl. That idiot"s attack was so powerful that it tore the siege tower to pieces!
He Yi attacked the giant beast from its side, unleas.h.i.+ng her Purgatory of Ice and Magma. Explosion sounds rang out and another siege tower collapsed as five waves of sword energy wrecked its tough exterior.
Meanwhile, I charged at one of the siege towers head-on and unleashed Universe Break!
Bang!
My Cyan Netherworld Sword easily penetrated the tower"s armor. Hah! You may be able to block our archers" attacks but you can"t block mine!
……
At this exact moment, Stranger of Three Lifetimes who was perched on the city walls pointed her finger in the distance and shouted, "This is bad! Look at those mages casting some spell! There"s something fishy about them!"
……
In the distance, three mages stood in a triangle formation with their staves raised high in the air as a beautiful enchantment circle spun around beneath them. In the next moment, three pillars of light started to soar into the sky from the walls of Dawn City. The pillars were crystal clear and were about ten feet in radius.
Swhoosh...
One by one, valiant Northern Alliance riders started to charge out of the pillars of light!
"We"re screwed…"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes turned pale as she stuttered, "This… this is a Dimensional Teleportation formation…"
