Chapter 552

Chapter 552 I stand while my City Stands

The official website was painted red with a fiery battle banner at the top . Printed on the flag were three different swords above three events . This meant that three different events in the three great cities——

[Tornado Fort] Jiu Li City: A fierce tornado has ripped through a fort north of Jiu Li City . Following the tornado is a group of terrifying Hybrid Demons, lead by a king tier demon commander known as “Son of Storms Ge Wen” . All Jiu Li City players may participate in this fight at the fort . The more monsters that are killed, the more points earned . The final reward will be decided based upon these points . Event Difficulty: SS Tier

[Dragon City] Ba Huang City: The Hybrid Demons of the North have finally begun to move under the command of “Hell’s Battlesong Lin Han” . He has lead a Hybrid Demon Army in an invasion . He will attack Ba Huang City with all of his might for 48 hours . All Ba Huang City players may participate in defending Dragon City . The more monsters killed, the more rewards given . However, this generous reward comes with great danger . The players that are killed in battle during this event will lose three levels, and the rewards will also be multiplied by three . Event Difficulty: SSS Tier!

[Rebellion] Fan Shu Cty: A group of strong rebels have entered into Fan Shu City’s northern mountains . The king has sent a command to have them killed . All players of Fan Shu City may participate . The more rebels killed, the higher rewards given . Please be careful, there is a high level king tier Hybrid Demon BOSS amongst the rebels . Event Difficulty: SS Tier!

……

I glanced at the different events and took a deep breath . This time the battle that Ba Huang City was about to face was just too great . An SSS Tier event . It was also the most difficult of the three cities . One could just imagine just how hard the battle was going to be . Plus, we were about to face an attack directly from the Hybrid Demon Army!

The worst part of it all was the fact that when a player died, they lost three levels . That condition cut right to the bone . It was so bad, that I actually wondered just how many players would go help Dragon City in this savage event . This event was like adding hail to snow, and worsening the situation . I for one didn’t have a choice, since I was one of Dragon City’s members . No matter what, I couldn’t let Frost face such a strong enemy on her own . That at least was my bottom line .

Log on!

“Shua!”

I appeared in the middle of Ba Huang City . There was only 120 minutes left until the Ba Huang City event began . I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and saw that everything retained is usual flow . Only a few players had an urgent look on their face as they headed towards Dragon City . The rest continued to set up stalls for items, equipments and skillbooks . There wasn’t even the slightest hint of preparation for battle .

I furrowed my brows and quickly began repairing all of my equipment . Afterwards, I replenished my potions and pills, and opened up the guild chat . Matcha was already calling for me——

Matcha: Boss, you’re finally on! That Dragon City Event, if you die, you lose 3 levels . What should we do? Should we participate, or what? This event really is savage . Quite a few small and middle level guilds have decided to not join… . .

Wolf: Yea, Brother Xiao Yao . We’ve already witnessed the strength of those Hybrid Demons . A skill from a Level 1 Hybrid Demon can already pretty much instantly kill the average player . If we go, wouldn’t that be pushing it?

Wan Er: Calm down first, why don’t we see what Pig has to say?

I took a deep breath and said, “This is an SSS tier main event quest . The difficulty of it definitely will not be small, but I think that [Zhan Long] ought to join . Even if our players will lose 3 levels, I think that we should still undergo this kind of experience . If we can’t defend against the attack from these Hybrid Demons, then how are we supposed to face it in the future? Besides… from a more detailed point of view, I am one of Dragon City’s players and my master is bound to the city . If Dragon City falls, then I will lose all my NPC masters . I cannot let Frost die . It is that simple!

Wan Er smiled: Yup, I knew you were going to say that!

Li Mu roared: That makes everything simple . After all, [Zhan Long]’s guild events have always been decided by the guildmaster . This will be the same . Our brothers beileve in you, so let [Zhan Long] go to battle! Everyone begin preparing to set out for Dragon City . There’s nothing more to say . If we stand, the city stands!

Old K laughed: Ok, everyone, to battle!

Dong Cheng: I’ll let all of the divisions know . Right now, [Zhan Long]’s main guild has 24,000 players online right now and 12 divisions . Brother Xiao Yao, what do you think of Wan Er and my recruiting skills?

I hid a smile: With you two in [Zhan Long] along with Melon, Matcha, and Wolf, then I obviously do not need to worry about recruiting . Everyone, work hard and defend Dragon City! Don’t disgrace the guild!

All of the officer level players nodded: Yes, do not dishonor the guild!

When I left the city, all of [Zhan Long]’s players were gathered at Ba Huang City forest . There were already quite a few people there . When I arrived before them, I saw that Matcha, Wan Er, Dong Cheng, Wolf, and Old K had all arrived . Matcha raised her golden shield and walked up to me with a smile, “Boss, 9000 people have already gathered here . At the moment, we’ll be able to gather 20,000 within twenty minutes . When should we head out?”

“How about in thirty minutes!”

“Yes sir!”

I looked into the distance and said, “Send someone to scout out the situation . Which other guilds have decided to defend Dragon City?”

Wan Er crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against a tree . She smiled, “No need, from what I know, [Vanguard], [Prague], [Enemies at the Gate], [Valley of the Gods], [Blood Contract] and [Flying Dragon] along with 20 of the other top ranked guilds have all decided to participate . However, it doesn’t seem like they are acting like us . [Vanguard], [Prague], and [Enemies at the Gate] have only sent out half of their soldiers, around 10,000 of them . They are probably worried that this quest will fail, and so they probably want to maintain some of their strength .

I nodded, “Yes, that is all within reason . Looks like there are at least 500,000 players going to battle . To be honest, our chances are quite large . Looks like I didn’t have to worry too much . ”

“Yup . I’ve stayed in contact with Yan Zhao Warrior, Simple, and Misty Cloud and kept a close eye on their movements . This way, we can act as a whole more easily . ”

“Good!”

……

Thirty minutes later, thousands of [Zhan Long] players had arrived at Ba Huang City Forest . The entire southern part was filled with our people . 25,000 of our players were online at the moment . [Zhan Long]’s military might was already much stronger than it had been before . This number made one truly proud . With 25,000 players online, we rivaled the size of [Vanguard] and [Prague] . No matter which way you look at it, [Zhan Long]’s strength was equal, if not greater than [Vanguard] and [Prague]!

Behind me, Wan Er and Qing Qian the two beautiful vice guildmasters quickly followed behind me . Dong Cheng, Li Mu, and Dancing Forest all smiled as they looked forward . On my left was Wang Jian, Glass Fox, and Yao Yan, the 12 guildmasters of the divisions . Looking all around, you could see that everyone wore the [Zhan Long] insignia . I then pointed to the north and said, “Advance, we’ll set camp at Dragon City!”

“Yes sir!”

Everyone nodded and began marching towards the north . At the same time, quite a few of Ba Huang City’s other guilds also appeared in the forest . After all, this was a main event . Even though it was dangerous, at least 20% of the players would participate . Ba Huang City had 10 million players, and 50% of them were normally online . That meant that at least 1 million would participate in Dragon City’s fight .

……

In less than an hour, we had arrived at Dragon City’s southern gate .

At the bottom, there was a sea of people . Dragon City did not have that much territory, and it originally couldn’t fit that many people anyway . 100,000 players would already fill up the area . We needed to fight to gain a piece oF land for ourselves .

Even the normal rope used to get into the city had been taken away . Intstead, a pile of rocks was built up to create a simple hill, leading all the way to the top of Dragon City . Quite a few players were already climbing up the simple slope . At the entrance to the city, a dozen Dragon City Knights stood guard at the entrance .

“My Lord!”

A Dragon City Knight lowered his head in respect . Since I was Frost’s student, and Frost was the number one warrior in this city, this amount of _____ was to be expected .

I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and turned around to face the army before me . I then commanded, “We’ll advance in waves . The main guild and Defense Army will go in first . Division One will then select teams to create our defense line . The rest will grind levels in Ba Huang City Forest . Do not go too far and prepare to come back at any moment . The killing power of these Hybrid Demons is far above average . Most of the Ba huang City guilds won’t be able to hold up against their attack . ”

Wang Jian nodded in agreement . Wan Er, Li Mu, Qing Qian, and Dong Cheng lead a group of [Zhan Long]’s main forces and lead them up the path . Around 5000 of [Zhan Long]’s elites were climbing up the slope . The skies were covered with fluttering snowflakes . Everyone couldn’t help but shiver . For a number of them, this was their first time in Dragon City and many were still stunned by the simple constructions around them .

I didn’t hesitate at all and began to construct a formation front and center of the North Wall . [Zhan Long]’s 5000 laid out a defense line and took up around 50 meters . Everywhere you looked was a sea of people . Simple lead another group of [Vanguard] players and began to construct a formation to our left . On our right were players from [Prague] . Everyone here wasn’t an idiot, and they knew that the center would take the most damage . Only big guilds like our own could take that kind of attack .

……

I stood at the border of the city . One step ahead was a thousand meter abyss . The crossbow machines and defense mechanisms that had been destroyed by the Gravedigger Demons had yet to be fixed . A simple rock construction was used to replace them . Just one wrong step would lead to death by falling, so all of the players that stood at the border were extremely careful and didn’t move a single inch . The Dragon Reservoir Sword in my hand drooped and snowflakes slowly fell onto my armor . For the moment, all I could see was darkness as I looked out into the distance . A scream traveled to my ears on the wind . Who knew what kind of monsters were waiting for us in the distance?
