Chapter 1336: Capable fire attack
The army near Swirling Abyss City attacked but it was obvious that we wouldn’t be able to take it down so quickly. After all, the Swirling Abyss City players were still here. Moreover, their walls were really firm. Most importantly, we didn’t have enough G.o.d Dragon Cannons ammo to take them down.
……
“G.o.d Dragon Cannons stop firing.”
I came to Royal Army’s formation and ordered the 20 G.o.d Dragon Cannons to stop. Han Yuan held his bloodied blade and walked forwards, “General what is it?”
“This isn’t going to cut it. Before we even melt the ice layer we would finish the cannonb.a.l.l.s.” I frowned, “Are there anything around that can start a fire?”
Xiao Lie squinted his eyes, “Sir wants to use fire to attack?”
“Right.” I nodded, “They water over their walls and this place is too cold so the water would freeze. I am planning to use fire to melt it and then the G.o.d Dragon Cannons can hit the walls. How many cannonb.a.l.l.s do we have?”
“The Executor, we have around 100.” Jing Yin cupped her fists.
“So little…” I frowned, “Things to start fire?”
Xia Ye said, “General, I know a little. Along the way here there was a forest with black trees that people call Ebony Beech, they will give out tree oil that would burn and even water can’t stop it. These trees are nearby, should the soldiers cut them?”
I nodded, “Send someone right away, don’t waste time.”
“Yes!”
Xia Ye held his spear and ordered 10 thousand Royal Army cavalries to ride over. At the same time, they dragged hundreds of chariots. Such chariots lost their use in sieges but they were not bad when transporting things.
Zhan Long was mainly attacking the north gate. Nearby at the west gate, Chiyou Tribe’s 3 million were attacking. Xing Tian led personally and among them were weird ancient troops that could fly. This was a headache for them. There weren’t many Russians, around 18 million registered players but no more than 12 million were online. Now there were at most 10 million people defending.
Although we didn’t have as many people as them, but we were better at fights. The guilds we brought like Zhan Long, Hero Mound, Judgement, Enemies by the Gate etc were good at fighting. As for those guilds better at defending like Prague, they were left at Tian Ling City. So it wasn’t easy for Swirling Abyss City to stop us. In truth, Brown Eyes’ thoughts were really simple. To defend Swirling Abyss City for 24 hours and they will be the only primary city left.
We weren’t eager to attack. Lin Wan Er knew what I was planning and told Zhan Long to throw random a.s.saults so our losses reduced. We had to ensure enough Furance G.o.d Cavalries, their 40% wall destruction ability still had use!
……
2 hours later, a huge group of Royal Army troops came from the north. Each cavalry dragged many Ebony Beeches. Han Yuan descended with his lightning dragon and on its back were many pieces of wood, “General, we are back. How should we attack?”
“Simple, push the shield formation forwards and gather the wood at the foot. Allow them to shoot fire arrows at it, form a flame line and use the heat to melt the ice layer. Once it is melted, we will focus our G.o.d Dragon Cannons at one spot until it breaks. Understood?”
“Understood, I will do so right away!”
Very quickly, Han Yuan gathered 20 thousand Blade Shield Camp soldiers that were barbarians that I brought back. The barbarians were really strong and even after holding a giant shield they could still run. Behind them were the chariots dragging the wood. Just to group and form up took an hour.
An hour later, the attack began.
With my instructions, Drunken Spear led 30 thousand Soaring Dragon cavalries to lead the way. Drunken Spear was really courageous and he took up the role of cannon fodder. He waved his spear and tens of thousands of people charged toward the north wall. Along the way, Demon Crystal Cannons, Crossbow Chariots etc ranged weapons attacked them. When they got close, their archers, musketee and mages attacked and they instantly suffered heavy losses.
“Attack!”
I waved my sword and Royal Army dashed forwards. The blade shield camp got close and under the cover of Soaring Dragon, we stacked the wood.
The players above were stunned. A Guild Leader had his mouth agape, “What are these chinese doing? They are using these black wood to climb up? HAHAH, so dumb. Our wall is 35 meters tall, just using these wood to stack?”
They laughed and continued to focus their attacks on Soaring Dragon and the Royal Army troops.
Mu Xin frowned and stood there, “No, these wood… Are they from Whistle Wind Forest? Oh my G.o.d… They want to use fire!”
“Impossible right?” Winter Horse was shocked, “If that is the case, we are finished…”
He shouted, “Quickly, pour water down on the wood, we can’t let them succeed!”
Before his words landed, Han Yuan rode the lightning dragon and raised his blade, “Archers, prepare the fire arrows!”
Close to 5000 Dark Moon Elves lit up their arrows. The heavy cavalries and Soaring Dragon players retreated and arrows flew forwards onto the wood. These Ebony Beeches were things that would burn when faced with fire. Under the Demon Crystal Cannons, many had started to burn. Now that they were being covered in fire arrows, a huge patch started to burn.
The players on the walls continued to pour water but that couldn’t stop the wood from burning. Instead, after water was poured on, smoke started to billow. It was a north wind day and this wind caused smoke to wrap around the walls making it tough for players on the walls.
“This is a huge chance!” Li Mu laughed, “d.a.m.n, those despicable people finally have such a day! When will we attack? Let’s take the city down at once!”
“Calm down, let it burn for a while, the ice layer is at least 2-3 meters, it hasn’t melted yet.”
“En.”
Li Mu raised his sword and shouted, “Furnace G.o.d Cavalries gather!”
This was our strongest wave!
……
The flames continued for half an hour and the entire north wall was red. The white iron layer under the ice was revealed. I turned around and ordered, “G.o.d Dragon Cannons, aim right off the wall. Use all the ammo within three minutes!”
“Yes!”
The heavy cannon unit struck and cannons fired. Mushroom clouds shook on the walls and the red iron started to melt. Holes appeared on the mountain and in a blink of an eye, it was covered in spots. The wood was burnt up and turned into ash. This was a huge chance.
I raised b.u.t.terfly and smiled, “Brothers, charge!”
All of a sudden, our morale was really high. Not only the 50 thousand Zhan Long members, there were also 100 thousand from Hero Mound and Vanguard that charged with us.
The eyes of the Swirling Abyss City players turned red. It wasn’t from killing but from the smoke. Their situation was terrible. 20 meters of wall was blown up such that 10 meters were left. I used G.o.d Form and came to the wall.
“Quick, focus fire on Xiao Yao Zi Zai, he is about to break the wall!” A team leader shouted. He held a bow and stood at the edge of the broken wall. Players surged and pushed him down.
Attacks flew from all around and I used Star Shield to block it. b.u.t.terfly’s golden light surged into the sky and my strongest move landed on the wall. Wind Carrying Slash turned bricks into dust, reducing the defence of the wall. A dozen meter wall was instantly ripped open and bricks flew all around. The wall started to collapse and the players on it were terrified.
Behind me, Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, w.a.n.g Jian, Mocha etc charged over in G.o.d Form. They were pretty much crushing the defending troops. Even Mu Xin and Winter Horse died to Li Mu.
The north wall was broken!
……
Zhan Long, Hero Mound, Vanguard charged in side by side. With the G.o.d Form players opening the path, we started to break through their allies to reach the inner city. The walls weren’t really high and they were at most 20 meters. Our Dragon Crystal Cannons pushed in and started to fire.
In another direction, Xing Tian slashed the gate and led the Chiyou Tribe warriors into the west gate. Swirling Abyss City lost its ability to defend. They were in despair!
