Zhan Long

Fear appeared in everyone's eyes. I held my sword and flew up to pull that steel arrow out from the wall. I took off that bloody head. The Royal Army troops beside me were terrified. They had gone through life and death battles but had never seen someone die like this before. Arrow through the head, how strong did one have to be?

……

"All troops get ready, raise shields over your heads!" I ordered loudly.

Not only the NPC troops, but even the players also raised their shields above their heads. No one dared to question the strength of the enemies in the mist. Even if they were monsters, they were monsters that were far stronger than us!

"What is that!" Yan Zhao Warrior's face turned grey.

Lin Qiong held his sword, "Your Highness, they aren't friendly… They are hiding in the mist, we are at a disadvantage…"

At that moment, hundreds of giant arrows shot from the mist. They weren't very accurate but they were really strong. They shot deep into the walls and some hit the shields. They actually pierced through the shields and into the chests of the Royal Army soldiers. They were so overpowered!

My heart shook and I raised my hand, "Dragon Crystal Cannons, aim the mist and fire!"

"Peng peng peng!"

The walls shook and the Dragon Crystal Cannons started to fire. Mushroom clouds spread out in the mist and the wind also blew the mist aside. At this time we finally saw the enemy. They were actually humans that were 5 meters tall but they weren't cannibals or cumbersome giants. They were humans wearing armor just that they were far bigger than us.

They were equipped with bows and the arrows that killed our soldiers came from there. They stood in the mist and even after being hit by the cannons they didn't fall. Just their armor was being ripped apart and their legs and stomachs were bleeding. Their armor was too thick and they were like armored vehicles. The Dragon Crystal Cannons couldn't do anything to them.

"Damn…"

Li Mu bit his teeth, "What is that, which empire are they from? We have never faced such an enemy before!"

I nodded, "Let's see their stats!"

Yue Qing Qian shook her head, "No use Brother Xiao Yao, my skills can scout their levels and stats from afar but this time it doesn't work. I can only tell that they are level 275 but I can't see their stats at all."

"Level 275?"

I frowned, "This opens up the level 275 patch? But… Why are we trapped here? Go offline and ask the developers?"

Yan Zhao Warrior shook his head, "No use, I told someone to ask. Ouyang Nuoyan said that the system automatically formed this quest and the game company can't change it. We need to survive it ourselves. It doesn't matter if the player complain, there is nothing they can do."

Jian Feng Han squinted his eyes and frowned, "Xiao Yao, you think too highly of this giant now right? Apart from their strength, they might not be our match. Losing without fighting doesn't seem like your style!"

I nodded but my heart felt a little heavy. These giants were what Beihai God Marquis relied on. Since he dared to use his life to draw us here, he definitely felt that they could defeat us. So this army wasn't so simple!

"Why aren't they doing anything?" Wan Er asked.

I had no idea, "I don't know. Their archery skills seem weak and they don't have many arrows. They might not benefit from sieging!"

I ordered, "Royal Army save on the cannonballs, wait for them to get close before firing!"

"Yes Your Highness!" Han Yuan nodded.

Prague's War Hawk Knights flew into the sky to scout this mysterious army. When they were above one of them, they actually raised the ropes on their back to pull the knights down. They then pulled out their axes and swords to kill them!

"Damn…" Yan Zhao Warrior sucked in a cold breath, "Terrifying…"

He panicked a little.

Q-Sword licked his lips, "Although their archery is weak but their rope accuracy is really frightening!"

"Why do I feel like they are waiting for something?" Dong Cheng Yue said.

Lin Wan Er nodded, "En, I have such a feeling too."

I bit my teeth, "Send the assassins to stealth over and see how many of them are in the area."

Yue Qing Qian nodded and not long later she came back to report, "Brother Xiao Yao, there are around 100 thousand, just a tenth of us, we do have a chance of winning."

"Tough, they are level 275, we have many players that weren't max level so they might get insta killed."

"They are here!" Jian Feng Han looked into the distance emotionally.

These giants were ten meters apart and they formed a formation. More and more giants came from behind and they were pulling many large carts. On them were many giant stones.

"What do they want to do?" Wan Er opened her eyes wide.

"Definitely nothing good…" My heart sank.

"They are using the stones to attack!" Yan Zhao Warrior held his sword.

A shocking scream spread from the distance and a giant warrior raised a rock and tossed it over. Several tonnes heavy stone flew a few hundred meters out!

"Peng!"

My leg shook and the stone smashed a hole in the wall. All of a sudden, both Yan Zhao and I stared at one another. What kind of enemy were we facing?

"Dragon Crystal Cannons, aim at them, don't save on ammo!" I ordered.

Yes, if we didn't fight back, the thin Ghost City walls would turn into ruins. If it was destroyed, we would have to face them head on.

In the sky, more and more rocks flew over.

I jumped up and used God Form. I raised Star Shield to protect the walls. "Peng", the giant rock hit the star shield like a cannonball. My body shook and a third of the durability was lost. This attack was too terrifying? The second one hit, who could block it?

"Peng peng peng", dozens of God Form players in the sky couldn't handle it anymore and their health dropped by half. Those giants continued to toss the stones and the walls were covered in marks. No wonder God Marquis said that this was our grave, it did look that way.

My heart felt cold. Tian Ling Empire's elites were here. All of the Royal Army, Heaven Barrier Army, Autumn Harvest Army and Fire Dragon Army. If we were wiped, it would be a lethal blow to Tian Ling City. Lochlan needed these troops to defend the empire but I brought them on this path of despair.

All of a sudden, many thoughts filled my mind. Regret and fury mixed together.

……

"Peng!"

The giant stones landed on the wall and smashed a group of Royal Army troops into meat paste. The stone then rolled into the city and smashed many players. All of a sudden, Ghost City was covered in fear.

"Damn, we can't be so passive!"

Jian Feng Han held his sword, "Xiao Yao, if we continue we will get wiped. Maybe we can win if we are active. I want to bring Vanguard out to battle them, what do you think?"

"Head out?"

My heart sank, "No, we don't know how strong they are, maybe that is asking for death. We have cannons and might be able to hold on a little, if we head out we won't have any advantage at all!"

Jian Feng Han frowned, "But to die here is too frustrating. You are careful, I know that, why not lead 70 thousand vanguard players to test the waters, how about that?"

I looked towards Yan Zhao, "Uncle what do you think? What about you Q-Swor?"

Yan Zhao dodged a giant rock in god form and landed on the ground, "That is an idea but the players might not be able to come back."

Q-Sword said, "70 thousand is too little, I will bring Hero Mound out with you. Along with some NPCs, we can bring 200 thousand and can fight!"

"En!" Jian Feng Han was grateful.

At this point, the two Battle Reflux Style grandmasters were about to fight side by side.

I said, "How many of your two guilds are there?"

"160 thousand." Q-Sword said.

"Okay, I will hand you 40 thousand Fire Dragon Army troops to you for 200 thousand. If it works, I will bring the rest out. If not, I will bring some to receive you so you won't have to die."

"Okay!"

……

"Creak…"

The heavy iron gate opened. Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han descended and summoned their mounts. They brought 200 thousand people out Many players jumped off the walls to save time.

"Dong dong dong…"

War drums continued. In the distance, the giant army didn't make a move. They just continue to toss stones which confused us.

What were they planning?
