Zhan Long

Chapter 1056- Tough day

"No, if this continues, Fan Shu City will get wiped out!" Li Mu's Flame Scorching Sword was covered in fresh blood. Since we were at a disadvantage, everyone wasn't in a good mood.

I glanced at the city walls and to be honest it wasn't in a good state. The white iron was now red from the dragon crystals' energy and it definitely wouldn't be able to last for too long. It needed at least an hour to cool or the west city wall might collapse.

"En!"

I looked towards Li Mu and said, "Gather all the Furnace God Cavalry and Red Flame Cavarly. I shall move a bunch of Royal Army troops and Cliff Dragon Cavalry. 10 minutes later, we will charge out from the south and north gates. Let's force them away and buy some time for the wall to cool down. Let's prepare right away!"

"Okay, I was waiting for those words!"

Li Mu left excitedly. I also ordered Chi Yu Han, Han Yuan, Xiao Lie etc. This time, we were using around 130 thousand cavalry troops, it wasn't a large number but they were all elites. Moreover, Mu Xuan and Han Bei Song expressed that they would head out from the west gate too and the overall numer would exceed 400 thousand. These elite players were enough to help us force back the enemies ahead of us.

…

Ten minutes later, the north and south gates opened. The Moon City players were stunned but during that period of time, I held my sword and led the Royal Army and Furnace God Cavalry out. There wre many Flame Hawk Archers above us shooting. Butterfly shook and Sword Tempest was used on the crowd to clear out an empty land. Old K, Meng Yao etc charged along with me

The strongest troops were the Cliff Dragon Cavalry and they had 120% of my stats. Their Attack was so terrifying and they pretty much crushed the players around. In the end, the dozens of mid sized guilds were scattered and looked like they were about to collapse. As more and more players headed out of the city, we had the accendency.

Butterfly and Zhen Yue Sword were too strong and I swept towards the west wall where the battle was the most intense. The gate opened and Appearance Alliance's two deputy guild leaders Wild Beauty and Wild Swan galloped out. Han Bei Song also led Blood Contract's cavalry players. The three of us gathered together before we began the official battle. We surged towards our enemies like a flood.

Right ahead was France's top guild Dawn. Guild Leader Hand of Waterloo was guarding it. Moreover, on his arms was the general mark of the army system. This NPC army behind him was probably his own army. Those giant cannons around was his cannon formation too.

He raised his blade high and rage appeared in his eyes, "Can't we take down Fan Shu City? Don't let the Americans laugh at us. Brothers, charge and wipe them out!"

Along with his signal, the 20 thousand Stone Tiger Cavalry pulled out thier weapons. Good fellow, these stone tiger mounts had the petrify stat, every 10 attacks will have a 100% chance to petrify the next target for 5 seconds. They have a similar effect to Furnace God Cavalry's Quickness but Quickness was much stronger. As long as one was above 50% speed, one would have 30% chance to stun the target.

But Hand of Waterloo had 20 thousand of them, this was not something normal people could compare to. Moreover, from the infomation, Hand of Waterloo relied on them to crush all opponents apart from Smile's Thunder God. This proved how terrifying these cavalry were in scale. OUr Zhan Long had 100+ of them but there were just too few of them.

They were already eliminated by the Furnace God Cavalry.

…

"They are coming!" Flames of war raged in Wang Jian's eyes. The courageous won in an intense battle. He faced so many Stone Tiger Cavalries but he wasn't afraid, this was the courage needed!

A six star golden light shone from Butterfly and I laughed, "Furnace God Cavalry charge, let them know what is the top cavalry type!"

Li Mu, Old K etc waved their weapons. On the side, Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Long Xing, Xia Ye etc charged. Xia Ye, Xiao Lie, Long Xing were Deity Tier Bosses but Han Yuan was a one star god general. His cultivation was enough to destroy players. At least, I wasn't willing to face such an opponent alone!

"Kacha!"

The blade slashed across the armor as I used the level 10 Double Hit effect. 4 strikes killed one and after I pulled my blade out, I used Strength of a Thousand Men and insta killed another level 178 cavalry. I summoned the Ancient God Tiger as it trampled the group. The Furnace God Cavalry all pulled out their blades and stunned the Stone Tiger Cavalry. This was not the worse thing, what was more terrifying was that most of the Furnace God Cavalry were from Dragon City's armyy system and they had the Blade Spin skill. The Blade Spin blade shot through the crowd and could trigger the stun effect too. Thus, the Stone Tiger Cavalry were all stunned and unable to fight back.

"Damn…"

Hand of Waterloo's face was filled with shock. He raised his sword and power of starlight surged. He used Star Flame Slash on a Furnace God Cavalry and he also raised his left hand to dodge a Furnace God Cavalry's Whirlwind Sword Break. He then used another Star Flame Slash to kill that Furnace God Cavalry. At the same time, the Dawn players behind him used Sword Break and killed dozens of Furnace God Cavalry ahead of them.

Unfortunately, a small scale counter attack couldn't change the overall situation. Hand of Waterloo's fell in groups to Li Mu, Wang Jian and Han Bei Song. The speed that they were dying were far faster than us. After all, the level and grade of the stone tigers were too low. Their petrify effect was strong but the Furnace God Cavalry was thier counter. They were killed before they could even trigger the petrify effect.

The truth was exactly that. Zhan Long's formation proved in smoothly but Appearance Alliance and Blood Contract faced resistance. Blood Contract's deputy guild leader, Who’s Blue's face turned ashen white, "Those who got petrified be careful, don't get killed!"

But more and more Blood Contract were killed by the Stone Tiger Cavalry. There was nothing they could do. In 100 thousand men battles like this, deaths were unavoidable. Even Furnace God Cavalry were being killed, much less other cavalry types.

Luckily Han Yuan, Xiao Lie etc Royal Army generals were strong and led Royal Army in. They broke through the spearman units of Moon City and then headed towards the cannon formation to kill those cannoneers. Cliff Dragon Cavalry followed them and massacred the enemy. Unfortunately, their kills weren't added to my name, if not I would be rich… But if that was the case, the players would definitely report me.

…

We pushed forwards until the 50+ Dragon Crystal Cannons, 300+ Flame Dragon Cannons and 1000+ crossbow chariots were destroyed. We headed forwards and Hand of Waterloo had retreated to the edge of Grey Ash Forest. A shield formation was laid out and more ranged players were there waiting for us.

If we continued, it would be a battle in the wild. It was already a worry that we had charged out of the city and if we continued, we were just asking for death. But, not everyone was as calm as I was. Old K held his axe and hollered, "Don't retreat, kill them all!"

This fellow was consumed by rage and that wasn't a good thing.

Wild Beauty held her spear and smiled, "Should we continue?"

Wild Swan said, "Hehe…"

I looked at her, "Wild Swan what are you laughing at?"

Wild Swan blinked, "The land is lower and we can't see how many there are. Old K is charging over, who knows how many Moon City players are laying in wait to beat him up!"

I laughed and said in the guild channel, "Old K, return immediately. All of you, return back to the city! Li Mu lead 2000 people to hold up the rear. Rest of you retreat. Don't panic or they will chase us down."

Old K didn't say much this time, after all he understood that he couldn't compare to me in strategy. It was best if he listened to orders if not Old Fox and Song Han would cancel the girls they arranged for him to meet.

Other guilds would often leave positions for their girlfriends but Zhan Long had clear rules about it. Management players weren't able to help their girlfriends and family arrange positions, so… Old K and Li Mu were still single!

…

Fan Shu City's troops charged out like a flood and retreated like a flood. The white iron had cooled down but even if Moon City had cannons, they might not be able to continue firing for long. As I expected, even if we retreated slowly, they didn't dare to chase us. Actually, Smile was tempted but Hand of Waterloo probably sent him a message such that Thunder God didn't move.

This continued until late night once more.

Starlight scattered on the silver Fan Shu City. If not for the blood on the walls, this city would be a fairytale-like city. I rested on Fan Shu City's city wall and looked behind me. Most Moon City players went offline to get some rest. However, we didn't dare to take things lightly as who knew whether or not Swirling Abyss City and Iron Skull City would attack us?
