Zhan Long-Chapter 1296: Emptying out coffers
Li Mu wiped to blood off his sword and smiled confidently, “Although Clear Black Eyes and Sky Rose are wearing the same skirts but honestly, it is hard to complete any of those targets much less checkmate us.”
I asked, “How is the situation at the other battlefields?”
Yue Qing Qian waved her arms to use her combo and Grasp of the Firefox to insta kill two cavalries before retreating. She called out to two Furnace God Cavalries to protect her and smiled, “Quite intense. At Sea of No Return, Uncle Yan Zhao’s men is being killed batch after batch by the hybrid demons but both of them gave the order to revive and head back and not let them pass. At Fire God Mountain, Ye Lai, Misty Clouds are personally leading the troops so there isn’t much of a problem there. It is impossible for the Russians to take it down in a short time. On the side of Martial God River, Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Death Contract, Baili Ruofeng etc are still fighting, they have the advantage there.”
I sucked in a deep breath and said, “Seems like the key is Prohibited Dragon Land, if we can’t defend it then China will get broken through. Right, Seven Shine City and Nine Heavens City haven’t moved?”
Yue Qing Qian said, “My intel is clear. Seven Shine City players are all leveling and most of them are trying to ascend. Nine Heavens City has declared war on Waterfront City. Demon Mountain and 7K have broken apart and are fighting in Nine Heavens Forest. If we don’t send reinforcements, 7K will be at a disadvantage. Demon Mountain had over a million NPC troops and has Gaia helping him, 7K isn’t strong enough.”
I nodded, “En let’s block Sky Rose’s crazy dog-like attack first!”
“En!”
……
West of Prohibited Dragon Land was total hell. Sky Rose really went all out and sent elite troops to attack. She didn't care about the cannons at all and just pushed the guilds to attack. Both sides were losing members in a 1:2 ratio but in truth, we were at a disadvantage like that.
In a blink of an eye, two hours passed and the plains were covered in layers of corpses. Most of them were Iron Skull City players and NPC corpses. But at the foot, Zhan Long and Appearance Alliance left tens of thousands of bodies. Along with the other guilds, there were at least 200 thousand losses. Our strong defence made the enemy pay a heavy price but the price we paid wasn’t any lower.
From afar, Iron Skull City had at least tens of millions more. Many of them were gathering up, preparing for the next wave of attacks. This time wouldn’t be long, Sky Rose wasn’t planning to give us much breathing space.
Li Meng Yao led a bunch of Zhan Long cavalries over, “Brother, we have roughly swept the battlefield, there isn’t any high grade equipment left.”
“En, form up with everyone.”
“Great!”
Mocha was wiping off the blood on Energy Returning Sword. She killed too many people with God Form and many times they tried to kill her but she dodged them and killed many more instead. This caused Sky Rose to pretty much give up on trying to kill her.
“Iron Skull City has gone mad, they are attacking without care, how much do they hate us?” Mocha said.
I smiled, “We wiped out all their surrounding servers so naturally Sky Rose can’t take it. If she doesn’t go all out, they will be next.”
Wan Er landed with the silver dragon and said, “At most in 20 minutes, their next attack will come. Moreover this time we are at an absolute disadvantage.”
“Why?” Mocha asked.
Wan Er smiled, “Their logistics are here, we saw heavy cannons when we scouted. There are at least 1000 Dragon Crystal Cannons!”
Mocha opened her mouth slightly, “Huh? They don’t have more than 2000 cannons, they didn’t use this on the main battlefield and brought them here instead? How much respect do they give us?”
On the side, Mu Xuan held her staff and pushed her chest out like a queen, “Sky Rose probably treats this as her main battlefield. Iron Skull City has 10 generals and 9 of them are here, this proves that in her eyes, Little Zai is more powerful and more useful than Fang Ge Que.”
I laughed, “Who knows if that is a good thing or a bad thing.”
……
A giant dragon descended from above. It was Wang Jian and he was covered in sword marks, he also had a pile of arrows shaking on his chest. He drank potions to try to recover.
“What happened?” I asked.
Wang Jian said, “Damn, Sky Rose is so cunning, she sent Gryphon Cavalries to fly over and sneak Heaven Barrier Army and Guards Army’s grain camp. Luckily we defended in time but a large amount has been destroyed. They are so cunning, every thousand of them worked together to attack players that had fallen off or teams that are small. Currently, there are 50 of such teams attacking. I bumped into one and was attacked. Luckily I had god form and was able to flee if not I would definitely die.”
“Damn!”
Li Mu clenched his fists and raged, “Sky Rose is really shameless, using small groups of troops to disturb, only she can think of such a shameless strategy.”
Lin Wan Er’s beautiful face was filled with seriousness, “Seems like she wants to use their specialty troop to their extreme. We have our own ground cavalries but our sky cavalries is definitely not their level. I heard that they have over 300 thousand gryphon mounts and we have no more than 100 thousand flying mounts. Most of them are scouts that can’t attack much.”
Death God’s Elergy held his Zhenyue Blade and raged, “Boss let’s not waste time with her, let’s gather all the god form players to battle them in the sky. As long as we can capture them we can kill 1000 of them. I don’t believe they have so many gryphon cavalries.”
I shook my head, “No, we would fall for their plan then.”
I pointed at the west, “Sky Rose’s main attack is still these 10 million but they aren’t able to move at all. Actually, the anxious one is here. Only then she sent gryphon cavalries to disturb our backline. God Grade players and dragon cavalry defend Prohibited Dragon land, just send some people to defend the backline.”
“En.” He nodded, “Boss has things considered well, this country war really takes brains, many things… If one is rash one could fall for it…”
I laughed, “It is fine, if we keep calm, we definitely won’t lose!”
“Yes!”
At that moment, Royal Army cavalries galloped over. There were hundreds of them. Jing Yin held her sword at the front and cupped her fists, “Sir, our cannonballs are nearly used up! An hour ago I sent to lieutenants to Tian Ling City to ask for more and wanted 100 thousand. But the unreasonable logistics officer kept 70 thousand and only sent 30 thousand!”
“What did he say?” I frowned.
Jing Yin said, “He said that the troops everywhere need cannonballs not just Royal Army. He can only give us so many.”
“What about Fan Shu City?”
“Fire God Mountain also consumed heavily and used over half of our storage, if we continue their storage will empty out too.”
“That is fine.” “Send troops to move cannonballs over. We can’t lose Prohibited Dragon Land, even if we lose Fire God Mountain we have to defend here!”
“Yes Sir.” Jing Yin wanted to say something but stopped.
“What is it?” I asked.
She gritted her teeth and said furiously, “Sir, the books recorded that we had at least a million cannonballs but those greedy officials sold it and pocketed the money. I heard that the minister of personnel even went to gamble and sold hundreds of thousands of cannonballs to barbarians. Now they faked the books to lie to The Executor and the emperor!”
I smiled and slapped her chest, “Record their names, after this war we will settle them. Now we still need them to move the resources so let’s just keep their brains to serve the empire.”
“Yes!”
Jing Yin smiled, “Following Sir to war is the greatest honor for a soldier!”
“Go!”
“Yes!”
……
Jing Yin went to rush them for the cannonballs. In truth, thanks to the 500 Dragon Crystal Cannons if not the chinese players here wouldn’t be able to stop the enemy. Especially with Sky Rose personally leading the troops, her army was just so fierce.
