Zhan Long Chapter 1217: gamble

Chapter 1217: gamble

Metal rang as Sif's destruction power swept the crowd, forming a shockwave that covered the region. The closer one was the stronger the damage was. My ear drums were hit once more and I felt really uncomfortable. Demon Mountain and Gaia weren't able to stop this killing god so she would probably massacre the crowd now!
...
"Charge!"
Nine Heavens City didn't give up and they still continued to charge at the Hybrid Demon army. Sif stood in front like a statue and commanded the Hybrid Demons to push forwards. The Nine Heavens City players and NPCs weren't able to block them.
"Finished, Demon Mountain can't win."
Xue Rou rode her horse and dealt high damage to a Demon Hall Cavalry, "Let's retreat a little. If not if we get surrounded I might not be able to charge out."
I nodded and slashed the Demon Hall Cavalry and Shura Cavalry. At the same time, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Old K etc turned around to retreat. Dancing Forest continued to raise her Sun Shooting Bow to kill the low and half health monsters. Her movement speed increased due to the effect of Sun Shooting Bow and reached the limit quickly. She came and went like the wind and she was like a bolt of walking lightning.
Movement speed being too high was a problem too. An Archer that could move quickly relied on kiting. Which meant that she had to move to another position between two shots to gain an advantage. Sun Shooting Bow gave Dancing Forest a lot of attack speed and she had between 0.2 to 0.3 seconds between shots. Using this time to move had to depend on one's deduction and if one's prediction was too slow one would delay the attack and reduce damage. If one predicted quickly then one might miss out on the next attack which had its own pros and cons.
Dancing Forest's control was decent, she shot and moved at the same time. Under Li Meng Yao and Yue Yao Yan's protection she retreated slowly. Just this skill alone made her stand out from other archers. Dancing Forest was a smart girl and she learned many skills on her own. Others she learned from studying top archers in the world. She slowly closed the gap between herself and them and even exceeded them!
...
In the distance, the killing shouts filled the sky. The Western Alliance players and the Hybrid Demon Army clashed and players continued to flood out from the canyon. The Hybrid Demon didn't retreat and one could see purple lightning from the sky that exploded among the players.
"What is that?" Yue Qing Qian looked into the distance with unease.
I pulled the sword out from the stomach of a Demon Hall Cavalry, "Purple Hell Lightning Pearl, she has finally come personally."
"Pearl is attacking Blades of War's camp." Yue Qing Qian said.
I took in a deep breath and didn't say anything. I didn't have to gloat now. Once Sky Rose lost, we were next. At this moment, both Sif and Pearl appeared. Moreover, they were high-ranked lords. This Battle of Dragonslayer Fortress was going to be tougher than we thought.
"Hong!"
Flames surged from the right and lit up the sky. A sea of flames spread toward everyone. The Nine Heavens City players protecting the outside of the city were burnt and 200 thousand damage numbers rose up. Instantly the soul light flew into the sky.
"What is that?" Yue Wei Liang held her dagger and he looked really uneasy.
"nothing,
someone is playing with fire." Yue Qing Qian bumped her and consoled but her consolation still made one feel uneasy.
How was that playing with fire? The fire ocean was 200 meters wide and it was rumbling across the plains like a flood. At the tip of it was a general holding an axe. He was in red armor and his body was bursting in flames. He hollered something that pushed the fire ocean forwards to spread about.
Greed Yin Huo, the third lord was here!
This time even I felt uneasy. I slashed the Demon Hall Cavalry in front and I said loudly, "Let's prepare to return to the walls. The Hybrid Demon Army is descending!"
"Not so quick right?" Lin Wan Er was shocked.
"It will be, trust me!"
We are Hosted Nov3l, find us on g00gle.
I jumped up and pressed my palm towards the sky. The six colored star formed a water surface that Mei'er charged out. She entered dragon form and brought up Dancing Forest, Meng Yao and the other allies. Lin Wan Er, Wang Jian and Li Mu followed and turned towards Dragonslayer Fortress.
"Pata!"
Mei'er slashed into the bricks and spread her wings so that we could get down. She opened her mouth and said in a female voice, "Brother, I sense many strong powers that make me shiver. What should we do, should we find mummy? I am scared..."
The Hybrid Demon Lords were definitely stronger than Mei'er so it was natural that she was afraid. Actually, I was afraid too so I kept Mei'er and entered Icy Wings state. I shouldn't let her appear then, these types of killing and fighting should be left to guys.
The players on the wall didn't look good. Many of their players had ashen white faces as if they had seen a massacre. They thought that Dragonslayer Fortress was an event to gain points but they didn't expect people to get wiped. Moreover, they were the ones getting wiped. The Hybrid Demon Army formed hundreds of forces to attack and they sliced into the players. The entire plains ahead were like hell. Nine Heavens City send millions out and along with those from Western Alliance, over 10 million players were around the mountains. But now they were being wiped. Without the cannons and walls helping them, players couldn't fight against the Hybrid Demon army at all!
...
In less than ten minutes, a portion of the Hybrid Demon troops was under the city walls. They placed cloud ladders and chariots to attack. These siege weapons were originally human ones but Hybrid Demons grasped them. Although they were badly made but they were effective. Everyone could see that Hybrid Demon Territory was changing and they were starting to use their brains.
"Men!"
A Summer Fire Army NPC Major shouted, "Heavy Armored Cavalry prepare to charge and save the general and the Fire God. Open the gate and charge!"
The three city gates on the right of the east wall started to open and the heavy cavalry surged out. They faced the Lamp Zombies without any fear of death. At the same time, an NPC general on the walls raised his flag and shouted, "Dragon Crystal Cannons get ready, fire!"
The area beneath the walls was a mess, there were NPCs and players so if they fired, there would definitely be friendly fire.
The person who ordered was Fire Rhino Army's Shao Shiyang. Over 20 thousand Fire Rhino Army troops were on the walls and they had 50 cannons.

When Shao Shiyang ordered, that Nine Heavens City Summer Fire Army general raged, "General Shao Shiyang our troops are still there, don't fire. If you hurt my soldiers and generals then what?"
Shao Shiyang smiled and showed a cruel smile, "Then they asked for it. The Hybrid Demon army is denser now, if we don't fire, the wall will be lost within an hour. Think about it, is your general more important or is Dragonslayer Fortress more important? If Dragonslayer Fortress is gone, then all the hard work will be for nothing!"
That general was stunned and had nothing to say. A Lieutenant pulled out his sword and shouted, "Shao Shiyang, you dare to fire? Go and try. Don't think that Nine Heavens Empire has no one. Even if Tian Ling Empire is strong, we aren't afraid. If you don't believe me then you can try!"
"Just a powerless general dares to be disrespectful?" Shao Shiyang laughed coldly and said, "General Zhao, you really aren't a good leader. Since that is the case, let me teach them a lesson for you! Men, kill him!"
The guard behind Shao Shiyang charged and pulled his sword from his sheath. Light flashed across and that Lieutenant fell to the ground. Shao Shiyang turned around and raised his flag, "Dragon Crystal Cannons fire!"
"Peng peng peng..."
Flames spat on the walls and in the next second, many mushroom clouds exploded below. Be it NPCs, players or Hybrid Demons, they were blown up. Shao Shiyang really was vicious. Why didn't I notice he was so heartless when I was at Tian Ling City?
The pitiful ones were the Nine Heavens City players who were blown up before they realised what was happening. But after the Dragon Crystal Cannons covered them, the Hybrid Demon Army's attacks were reduced by a large amount. However, the battle was still really chaotic.
Much of the troops within the city were removed and the Dragonslayer Fortress was much more spacious. It was time. I discussed with Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han and Yan Zhao Warrior and opened the east gate to let the Chinese players in. Only by getting more people could we be able to defend Dragonslayer Fortress.
The players surged in from the east like a wave. Not only Chinese, but there were also many from Nine Heavens City too. This Dragonslayer Fortress was Nine Heavens City's most important strategic land and it was really important for them. They definitely weren't willing for it to be lost so naturally, they would risk it all to defend it.
