Chapter 1051- Attacking Green Rock City
Since Destiny began, although Legend had occupied the top of the rankings, but Zhan Long had been catching up. The gap between us was less than 30%. As long as Zhan Long had a beautiful country war, we would be able to close that gap once more and maybe even orertake them. Zhan Long Hall experts" points were too high and helped Zhan Long to jump up the rankings. Legend obtained Xue Jing but lost Xue Rou so their strength dropped instead of increasing. Naturally Fang Ge Que wanted to have a good war to raise the rankings of the guild. Attacking Nine Heavens City was his plan so now, no one could stop him from trying that.
Naturally I didn"t think that I could convince him, I too didn"t want to convince him.
...
The Guards Army troops guarding on the Tian Ling City city walls held their spears and shields and didn"t even dare to glance at me. I had no guards at all so there was no reason for them to be so afraid.
"Marshal Li!"
A shout came from the steps and a general charged up. It was Lin Qiong who jumped off the horse and smiled, "Greetings Marshal!"
"No need to be so polite, why are you here General Lin?" I had a good impression of the strongest general in Tian Ling City. Moreover he was also a Commander in chief too and was the same grade as me.
Lin Qiong smiled, "Marshal Li, the scouts reported that Moon City are charging over from the dessert and would arrive in less than two days. Swirling Abyss City have went all out and are in Ice and Fire Plains. Should we intercept them?"
"Intercept, where?"
"Flame Lion Mercenary Group"s Lion City!" Lin Qiong cupped his fist and smiled, "If we move troops in, we can catch them off guard."
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "That is a good idea but I went over before and the walls are badly damaged. To be honest, one Dragon Crystal Cannons can destroy ten miles of their wall!"
Lion Qiong opened his eyes wide, "Oh, the legendary Lion City is so weak? Ah, Marshal Li just treat it like I spoke nonsense. Marshal Li so when are we heading out? Heaven Barrier Army"s 100 thousand warriors are ready to serve the empire!"
I nodded and smiled, "Camp outside the city and wait for orders. There are probably many areas that I would need you to head to."
"Yes!"
...
2 hours more and scenes of war appeared in the distance. Heaven Planning Hall with Rumor at the helm sent 17 million troops to attack Waterfront City. I didn"t restrict troops so this time they brought over tens of thousands of NPC troops and hundred cannons. Among them were some from Violent Thunder Army and Fire Axe Army. That included the 10 thousand that w.a.n.g Zecheng took from Fire Axe Army. d.a.m.n, w.a.n.g Zecheng looked determined to follow the Grand Battle Axe.
But, with w.a.n.g Zecheng"s mentality, he might replace him. That would be his final goal?
What surprised me was that Clear Black Eyes didn"t send troops out. She just ordered the India Region players to defend in the city. Those in charge were second or third rate. Those first rate experts were all hiding in. Clear Black Eyes saw through Fang Ge Que"s thoughts. In this country war, Tian Ling City, Waterfront City and Nine Heavens City were like three countries. Joining hands with the weak to attack the strong was the plan. Unfortunately, Rumor didn"t understand that theory and had exposed his own strength early on.
On the other side, most of Nine Heavens City"s troops didn"t move. Demon Mountain, 7K, Cold Winter etc remained in the city.
The small server players were the ones who gathered. Around 10 million of them that moved towards Waterfront City. The goal was really obvious. They wanted both China and India Region players to suffer heavy casualties before they try to obtain Waterfront City. Unfortunately, they didn"t have any chance. Rumor"s 17 million had no chance of defeating Clear Black Eyes.
...
Until 4pm did Li Mu send me a message, "Xiao Yao, do you know about Green Rock City?"
"I know, it is a secondary city between Waterfront City and Nine Heavens City. The j.a.panese and Korean players are there right?"
"Right!"
Li Mu laughed, "Since Zhan Long is free, why not call our allies to head over? I just got news that Green Rock City"s j.a.panese and Korean players headed towards Waterfront City and should be far away now. We can take this chance to grab their nest."
I laughed, "Aiyo, this is their last home, if we take it down, wouldn"t it be too shameless?"
"No, it definitely won"t."
"Okay then, let me call an NPC army to follow us along!"
"Okay, are you calling Royal Army?"
"No, Royal Army has to guard against Moon City and Swirling Abyss City. I shall bring Heaven Barrier Army. You saw Lin Qiong"s strength, it would definitely be okay."
"Okay!"
...
I closed the communications and headed towards Lin Qiong who was on the city wall, "Gather Heaven Barrier Army and bring all Dragon Crystal Cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons towards the south of War G.o.d River. Wait for my orders."
Lin Qiong smiled, "Are we finally going to fihgt?"
"Yes, have you sharpened your sword?"
"It has always been sharp. I have received your order, time to go!"
"Okay."
On Tian Ling City"s square, Zhan Long, Judgement, Appearance Alliance, Enemies at the Gate, Blood Contract etc guilds were gathered. Altogether there were over 2 million of us. Along with 100 thousand Heaven Barrier Army troops, it was enough for us to take down an empty secondary city! But just in case, I still summoned 40 thousand Flame Hawk Archers from Fan Shu City. As long as Flame Hawk Archers were here, we had the air advantage.
The crowd exited Tian Ling City. I rode the G.o.d Dragon Horse and talked with Li Mu and Yue Qing Qian along the way. When I thought about how we were attacking the j.a.panese and Korean secondary city, I felt excited. The j.a.panese forums had been making noise about killing us all so this was our chance to teach them a lesson. We were kind to other servers and I always felt that we should give other players some room to survive. But towards the j.a.panese, we had to kill them all. If we got Green Rock City this time, they would have no where else to go. Leveling and even learning skills would be a problem. However, they asked for it!
...
Over an hour later, the 2 million strong army entered the Questioning Heaven Ice Plains and moved towards Waterfront City. We looked like a China Region support army so definitely no one expected our target to be Green Rock City!
Half an hour later, the horse hoof sounds shattered the silence of Dragon Lake. When we charged out of the forest, a green city stood among the mountain range. This was Green Rock City and the walls were made of mountain stone. The city was built above the mountain range and was hundreds of meters above. No wonder no one was able to touch the j.a.panese and Korean players. As long as there were enough players, it was such a hard place to take down!
"Pa pa pa..."
The War Hawk Knightsflapped their wings and one knight landed between Lin Qiong and I, "Marshal Li, General, 100 thousand troops are left in Green Rock City and very few adventurers are guarding here."
"En." Lin Qiong nodded, "Scout more!"
"Yes!"
I looked at the city and said, "How should we attack?"
Li Mu laughed, "I don"t think cavalry would be useful. We need to climb up to open the city gate."
Lin Qiong said, "En, this Dragon’s Den General is right. Green Rock City is hard to attack and everyone in the continent knows that. Cavalry and heavy machines are useless against it. This is also why I didn"t understand why Marshal Li wanted Dragon Crystal Cannons?"
"Dragon Crystal Cannons isn"t to destroy but to defend it. Be careful behind us."
Lin Qiong understood, "General understands."
...
Further forwards, the 2 million army lined up below the city. We looked up at the Green Rock City and sucked in a cold breath. This city was like a castle on a peak, like a coiled up porcupine with no place to attack.
"Line up!"
I shouted, "Form a fan formation and defend outwards. The elites attack with me. Although the mountain range is tough to enter but as long as we get it, we can summon the Furnace G.o.d War Horse to charge!"
Everyone pulled out their blades. Ye Lai, Misty Clouds, Han Bei Song etc all ordered their players to attack. Lin Qiong led the NPC cavalry towards the foot of the mountain.
When we were at the foot, we got off our horses and started to climb. I didn"t use Icy Wings and just climbed with everyone. The city started to fire and many Dragon Crystal Cannonb.a.l.l.s landed on the rocks, causing pieces of stone to scatter. However, the vision here wasn"t good and only a few people could get it. Yue Qing Qian also got news that there were no more than 500 thousand people here. Moreover, they were 2nd and 3rd tier players. This was our chance!
Attack!
When a bunch of Furnace G.o.d Cavalry arrived at the city, I used Icy Wings and charged forwards towards the arrows. I shall kill my way in and open the gate so that the Furnace G.o.d Cavalry can enter. Only then could we reduce our losses. Moreover, I needed the walls to be intact. After all, the country war lasted for 7 days. I didn"t want us to lose it right after taking it down. That would be pointless.
