Chapter 1330: Destined Opponent
After I called out, a War Hawk Knight landed swiftly and cupped his fists, “The Executor, do you have any orders?”
“Head to Fan Shu City.”
“What orders do you have?”
“Tell Chi Yuhan to lead 50 thousand Heavy Flame Archers and 30 thousand Fire Hawk ARchers to Tian Ling City to help defend. Chi Yu Qing can lead the rest to defend Fan Shu City. Once Ci Yuhan arrives in Tian Ling City, just listen to Fire Dragon Army’s deputy Fang.”
“Yes.”
After giving the order, I sighed. I had 300 thousand Fan Shu City troops for the third country war but now only 100 thousand were left. Most of them died to Prohibited Dragon Land and Fire God Mountain. What a waste. Fortunately, their deaths earned us an important chance, if not we won’t even have the right to stand on Iron Skull City’s map.
……
Slowly, the Chinese region players started to surround Iron Skull City. Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Ye Lai each occupied a part. This time we spread out and surrounded the entire city. Iron Skull City had three secondary cities nearby and they were all surrounded. Among them, two were about to collapse.
Sky Rose was smart and knew that they had to sacrifice some things and protect Iron Skull City first. If they spread out their troops into the three secondary cities, the main city will get dragged down. Moreover, there were at least a million NPCs, these were Sky Rose’s trump card. As long as they didn’t die, Iron Skull City wouldn’t be totally wiped out.
20 million Chinese players surrounded Iron Skull City. An hour later, three bells rang out. Lin Wan Er occupied a secondary city. Simple occupied one and Don’t be Foolish another. They only left a small number to defend while the rest surged towards Iron Skull City.
The horn sounded, the attack began!
I flew to Zhan Long and Royal Army’s camp. This was the east wall and this place would handle the strongest attack. Apart from Zhan Long and Royal Army, Hero Mound and Judgement were here too. We had subconsciously marked this place as the breach point, we will trample over Iron Skull City from here!
“Attack!”
Q-Sword raised Seven Kill Sword and the troops surged past him. Hero Mounds’ Rock Beast Cavalries had high defence. Although their sieging abilities weren’t as high as the Furnace God Cavalries but they could attract firepower and skills.
Very quickly, cannons fired and Demon Crystal Cannons caused energy waves that swept our area.
“Hua hua hua…”
The bunch of general ranked players stood there and didn’t move. The war wasn’t finished right away and we weren’t in a rush. A wind blew and our capes flew up. At the same time, Han Yuan stood at the front and a war flag fluttered. On it was a huge Commander word. As The Executor, I was the commander of this battle.
Moreover, the flag here, it made Zhan Long players feel proud. China had so many top guilds but only we had this special honor!
……
This was a battle of attrition. I didn’t let the Zhan Long Furance God Cavalries attack and just allowed the small guild players to charge. They were killed by the archers and musketeers. At the same time, the Demon Crystal Cannons couldn’t be underestimated. Many heavy cavalries couldn’t take it. Moreover, Sky Rose gathered a large portion of them here to face us.
Yue Qing Qian stood beside me and looked into the distance. She frowned, “Brother Xiao Yao, are we just going to look at them send themselves to death?”
I said, “Qing Qian, do we have information about their amount of cannonballs?”
“Yes…” She blinked, “Two hours ago, our spies said that they had 100 thousand, much more than what we have. I know what Brother Xiao Yao means, use the players to reduce their ammo but these cannonballs are enough for them to fire for a full day, we might not have enough people for that.”
I sucked in a deep breath and my heart beat, “We have no choice, we can’t tank the cannonfire to attack, that would put us in a passive situation.”
Q-Sword nodded, “I support Xiao Yao, the elites have to be used on the blade, if not we can’t crush them in one strike. After all, Sky Rose and Seven Feather have managed the city for a year and they are famous people. The defence and attack of the city is top of the entire server.”
Wan Er stood by my side and looked at me quietly. Praise appeared in her eyes, she knew that after going through so much in game and reality, I had changed. We had to make sacrifices if not this city won’t belong to us. Sky Rose, Seven Feather etc will deal a threat to Tian Ling City time after time.
“Tell the mid to low tier guilds to attack, don’t stop,” I said.
Q-Sword and Ye Lai nodded. Actually, the forums were already really messy. But leaders like Q-Sword, Ye Lai and even Fang Ge Que had to post to push the players to attack. Iron Skull City’s victory didn’t belong to anyone but to every one of us. This was our common glory.
……
Cannon fires could be heard and very quickly many chinese players died. We were waiting but there were actually many cloud ladders hanging on the walls with many chinese players on the walls. But they were then sliced down. The players pushed forth like this to put pressure on them. The Americans had no choice but to fire their Demon Crystal Cannons to put pressure on us.
On the walls, Sky Rose held her sword and her eyes were filled with rage, “Save the Demon Crystal Cannons, use the Fire Rock Cannons, Xiao Yao Zi Zai is wasting our cannonballs!”

Seven Feather said, “We can’t, their attacks are too fierce. Without it our pressure isn’t big enough, our brothers would have to fight them head on.”
Sky Rose raised her sword, “Order the Fierce Wind Cavalries up, fight head on then, we aren’t afraid of them! We are from Iron Skull City, we aren’t afraid of any fights!”
“Yes!”
……
The movement on the walls wasn’t small. The Demon Crystal Cannon fire rate reduced and they were switched to other cannons with fewer killing powers. I pointed out, “Death God, bring 5000 Furnace God Cavalries to break the walls, once they fire their Demon Crystal Cannons at you, retreat!”
“Yes!” He laughed, he was waiting for that order.
Lin Wan Er said loudly, “Healers, give those cavalries the Hundred Battles buff!”
All buffs were activated within a minute. Death God’s Elergy transformed into god form and charged At the same time, Li Meng Yao and Yue Yao Yan led a thousand Moon Spirit cavalries. They were all girls and they were all beauties such that they attracted a lot of attention. Not only were they strong at attacking, their defence was too.
The moment these five thousand just arrived, Sky Rose ordered them to fire the Demon Crystal Cannons. They didn’t have time to break the walls at all. Death God’s Elergy ordered hurriedly, “Defensive stance and slowly retreat, we can’t block them!”
“Cover!”
Meng Yao and Yue Yao Yan led the Moon Spirit Cavalries to raise their shields and umbrellas to enter defensive state to block the cannons.
But Sky Rose wouldn’t allow them to leave. She leaped down and a skill light shone on her blade which splashed on the shields of two Moon Spirit Cavalries. After that she used a combo to insta kill one and then another girl died too.
“Damn!”
I was filled with anger and said, “Stay here, I will cover them!”
I flew over quickly at full speed and descended like a meteor.
……
“Be careful guild leader!” Seven Feather shouted Another two god grade players jumped off to cover Sky Rose.
But it was too late. I locked onto Sky Rose and slashed without using any skill. God Grade energy shattered and Sky Rose was forced back. She used her invincibility, she probably didn’t expect me to be so quick right?
“Xiao Yao Zi Zai!” Above, Seven Feather shouted.
I didn’t raise my head at all and just slashed upwards to use Wind Carrying Slash. Golden light shot up. Seven Feather definitely didn’t expect me to return the favor with violence and he was insta killed. Sky Rose managed to flee back up the walls.
Dense arrows and spells landed. There were too many players on the walls and most of them were Blades of War elites. Such an attack couldn’t be underestimated.
I raised my arm, Star Shield!
“Weng!”
A translucent shield appeared above to block the damage.
I charged out and Butterfly light shone. The top Supreme Country Weapn used Seven Star Fragment Slash on the wall!
“Be careful!”
Sky Rose shouted.
The moment it landed, the lord statue on the wall was shattered, along with it were dozens of Archers.
One strike and then I retreated. My eyes continued to stay on Sky Rose’s body.
……
Sky Rose clenched her fists and stared in hatred as I left. I was their destined opponent, this battle would be our battle.
