Chapter 1165: Fighting and countering
The army pushed forwards slowly and stopped around 2000 meters away from Golden Scale City. Next would be time for us to siege. Golden Scale City had at least a million troops waiting for us but their morale was at rock bottom. They had lost multiple battles and along with the difference in strength, the Japanese region players were filled with despair.
The Japanese and Koreans occupied the islands but the ones here were mostly from the Japanese region. This battle was really like a battle of destruction.
...
Sunlight reflected on our armor. The Furnace God Cavalries behind me were raring to go but I wasn\'t planning to let them attack right away. If we did, we would definitely suffer many losses. They had the city walls and we didn\'t have cloud ladders or siege chariots. But Golden Scale City\'s walls were stacked up with stone pieces and there weren\'t white iron etc watered over it. We brought with us numerous Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon Cannon so my goal was to blow the city walls into pieces first.
This city was east of Ba Huang City and Dragon City so to a certain extent it was one of our inland islands. We didn\'t need the city, we just needed them to be in charge of providing grain and food for Dragon City.
I raised my head and let my face bathe in the sunlight. Warmth could be felt all over my body and I felt the temperature. This was really a suitable place to raise animals, plant crops etc. The environment was tens of thousands of times better than Dragon City. If this place could be used by Dragon City, Frost and Zhi Shu would be able to fend off the Hybrid Demons much more easily.
...
"What is the situation like?" Q-Sword led Tang Qi and Tang Guo over.
I said, "Wait a while, once the Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon Cannon are in place we will blow the city walls down before we attack. Right, how is the situation on your side, have you found Frost Forest? This isn\'t a country war so we can\'t see the notification."
"I did!" Q-Sword smiled.
"So what happened?" I asked.
Q-Sword just smiled, it was Sword Tears that said, "Brother took 21 slashes to kill Frost Forest. From start to finish, Frost Forest didn\'t fight back too much."
I was slightly shocked and I didn\'t expect the person who was deemed as JBN\'s top player to actually fall to such a state. But I knew that the main reason was because of Q-Sword\'s Rising Dragon Set. Q-Sword\'s strength was totally different from before. My chances of winning him were around 60% while Lin Wan Er had around 50% chance. Xue Rou\'s equipment and level weren\'t high enough so she had only 40% chance. So in Zhan Long, only two of us had a chance of beating Q-Sword.
Luckily, we were friends and would be friends in the future. We didn\'t need to attack and kill one another.
...
"I didn\'t expect the Japanese to lose so easily." Old K scoffed, "I thought that they could block us for a while, I really didn\'t expect... Them to collapse like that."
Drunken Spear held his spear and smiled, "Simple. They didn\'t have a place to get quests and their levels slowly climbed. They couldn\'t join events to get god tier equipment so the gap is just huge. It is normal for them to lose to us."
Tang Qi smiled, "So we just need to smack them when they are down?"
Han Yuan rode his horse over and cupped his fists, "General, the 400 Dragon Crystal Cannons we have shipped to shore are in position."
"Start to fire, fire until Golden Scale City is leveled to flat ground."
"Yes!"
...
A few minutes later,
cannons were ordered to fire. 10 God Dragon Cannon and 390 Dragon Crystal Cannons fired at the same time. One couldn\'t see Golden Scale City at all and the city was drowned in smoke. God Dragon Cannons were just so scary, just one cannon left a ten meter hole in the wall. Two more and instantly one part of the wall had collapsed. The players and NPCs on it cried out in despair before they died. This was absolute strength. The Japanese had experienced this before when their cannons hit the Chinese land. Now they deserved to feel that kind of despair and helplessness.
After 20 meters, Golden Scale City turned into a sea of flames and one could hear screens all over.
It was okay if the city was wiped out, as long as the farms outside were okay. I instructed them to farm here and send food to Dragon City. This was our basic strategy. Actually, Frost had racked her brains for food and she was even thinking to build a greenhouse in the north. However, glass was something found only in the royal family\'s garden. The costs were too expensive and Dragon City couldn\'t afford it at all.
Moreover, as more and more giant dragons appeared in Dragon City, their demand for food got bigger and bigger. One giant dragon ate roughly 100 adults\' food portions in a day. Moreover, they had to eat meat. If you gave them bread, they wouldn\'t have the strength to fly up. Frost wouldn\'t do that, she rather she didn\'t eat to give the dragons meat.
...
"Dang..."
I pulled my sword out of my sheath and raised it high up, "Attack, take the city down. Kill all NPCs and Japanese players. Let Luobu live!"
A horn sounded as our official attack began!
After having Mei\'er, I stopped using Icy Wings and maintained the riding state. After all, riding a red dragon was a huge deterent and it was bigger than me killing people alone. Especially the Japanese who were already frightened, this would be more effective.
As I had expected, the moment the city was broken, half of the close to a million Japanese players here were wiped out. There were still more than half and their numbers were two to three times of ours. Of course, when the Furnace God Cavalry, Hundred Abyss Cavalry and Iron Cliff Cavalry charged, it was a full-on massacre.
In the distance, Wan Er used Crescent Moon Storm to trap Frost Forest. Mocha slashed and successfully interrupted Frost Forest\'s attacks. Lin Wan Er stabbed and Frost Forest just died like that.
The battle at the docks was even smoother. Our cavalry\'s strength was far above that of our enemy. One charge and their defenses were already broken down. Royal Army\'s Majors all summoned their lightning dragons. Now there were 37 dragons circling above Golden Scale City. This was a really lethal deterrence such that many people weren\'t willing to come online after death.
...
The killings lasted for two hours. Demon Moon and Frost Forest were killed more than 7 times and their levels dropped below 195. One could say that the entire Japanese region had suffered huge losses and they lost their ability to fight back. Frost Forest and Demon Moon\'s equipment mostly dropped. Any team leader from Zhan Long could kill them easily!
After a "ding", the system announced that Golden Scale City was occupied by Tian Ling Empire. I chose to occupy it so it became the second city under my name. I chose one of the Majors of Royal Army to be the city lord to build the army and chase players out. I chose the command to exile once online. The Japanese players who went online would receive a notification to choose an ownerless map if not they would be teleported out. Just like that, there were no threats on Dragon Tail Island anymore.
But I still left 10 thousand Royal Army troops to defend. Once Xia Ye built an army, this group could retreat. The only difference was that this army would be loyal to me and would provide for Dragon City. In the future, no one would have any qualms.
As for Luobu, 100 Royal Army troops guarded him and he was sent to Ba Huang City to Queen Angela to deal with.
...
After two hours, we returned to the ships to discuss the next course of action.
We headed east and many scattered islands appeared in our field of sight. Han Yuan held his blade and smiled, "General, there are 17 islands closest but they are quite small and the biggest army is only 1000."
I nodded, "Then let\'s spread out and after capturing these 17, we will gather in the ocean ahead. "
"Yes!"
This quest was quite simple. I led Zhan Long\'s 10 thousand on an island called Black Rock Island and easily removed the 700+ NPCs here. Xia Ye sent a Captain to be the island head. This Captain was delighted and once he rebuilt the 100 men army, he would be the emperor here.
In less than an hour, ships gathered in the ocean region ahead. Through The Executor\'s interface, I saw that most of them had gathered. After the Dragon Tail Island battle, only 11 of our ships were sunk and Royal Army lost less than 2000 people. This was a huge victory. Actually, there were 30 thousand players that had died so we had to count that too.
...
The map was opened once more and Xiao Lie knelt on the ground. She touched the mark and said, "Next is Weishan Island, this is around 70% of Dragon Tail Island and there are 100 thousand troops here. However, there are many adventurers."
"The Koreans." Yue Qing Qian said,
I nodded, "Then we shall choose this as our next target, the strategy is the same!"
"Yes!"
...
Weishan Island\'s battle was smooth. We came too quickly so their NPC army wasn\'t able to react. After the Koreans experienced the Green Rock City battle, their morale was affected and to date it wasn\'t able to recover. Thus, we were able to massacre them here.
