Zhan Long

"Peng peng peng!"

Demon Crystal Cannons exploded around and caused many shockwaves which made one's face feel hot. Even flying speed was affected. Many Furnace God Cavalries were too close and were forced back. We came to destroy their teleportation formation so naturally, they won't let us go easily. They wrapped us up well.

Cannon fire shot around and many cavaliers fell to the ground. Many of them died for the second time and my heart hurt but no choice, this was war.

……

In the dense smoke, Li Mu, Wang Jian and Mocha led the way through. Lin Wan Er, Dancing Forest and I held up the rear. I used my high health and defence to fight for a long time. Wan Er had decent survivability while Dancing Forest stacked many layers of quickwalking. Her movement speed was even higher than cavalries so she became a natural king here. No one was her match.

When all of us charged out and turned around, the mountain was covered in Chinese and American bodies. There were definitely many Furnace God Cavalries that died here.

I deactivated God Form and rode Mei Er low. I chased up the Li Mu, Wang Jian etc and looked behind me. There were many losses for us.

"How many are left?" I asked.

Mocha said, "23 thousand came and 12 thousand remain. Boss, each charge we face too many enemies so we are under huge pressure."

"Right."

I held Butterfly and said, "But it is good like this, allies 500 yards around me can gain 20% equipment strengthening. Just charge together with me."

"En en!"

……

The 12000 of us didn't head back to Prohibited Dragon Land as that wasn't the important battlefield anymore. We went over Fire God Mountain and headed towards Jiuli City. They all used Flying General, even in the mountainous region they were able to maintain 100% movement speed. The horse hooves were in unison and our aura was shocking.

We galloped for 10 minutes and Tian Ling City came into view. This giant city still stood proudly in the central area. This was what we were protecting. Further north was Jiuli City. News came back that the city was in a sea of flames. Sky Rose teleported at least 3 million Iron Skull City players over and there were less than 500 thousand defending so it was too tough to hold on.

In the end, before we arrived on the map we heard a sad bell. No one expected that the first country to lose a city since the start of the war would be China---

"Ding!"

System Notification: Players please note, player Sky Rose (America) destroyed Jiuli City's throne and chose to occupy it. Jiuli City is now under the American flag, before the country war ends, Chinese players can enter to fight for the throne again and can instantly regain the ownership of the city!

……

"..."

Wolf cursed, "We lost it so quickly, what are the players there even doing?"

"We can't blame them."

Lin Wan Er rode Little White and flew low, "Actually not only 3 million teleported over, Sky Rose had ordered 100 thousand Gryphon Cavalries to fly over Fire God Mountain at night. Before Jiuli City was broken through, the skies were occupied. They descended from above to wipe out the players and NPCs and then opened the gates to attack. In just an hour they took down the city."

I frowned, "Jiuli City belongs to Sky Rose, now they can repair equipment and replenish potions. This is a problem right beside Tian Ling City, we are at a disadvantage now."

Wang Jian held the Dragonhorse Blade and asked, "What now, should we still head to Jiuli City?"

"I don't think we can…" Lin Wan Er looked, "After taking down Jiuli City the NPCs inside will belong to them. Sky Rose is smart and will definitely send troops out to defend. If the ten thousand of us go we are asking for death."

"What should we do now?" Li Mu asked.

I said, "Sky Rose should gather most of his troops there and summon the players from Fire God Mountain, War God River. They will use Jiuli City as the base to attack Tian Ling City so we just have to intercept them where Tian Ling City and Jiu Li City meet. Wait for Fang Ge Que to retreat and then we will attack Jiu Li City."

"Okay!"

Li Mu smiled, "I feel like Xiao Yao is becoming more and more like a general."

I laughed, "I am The Executor, although my commanding skills aren't top rate but I am not weak. Definitely much better than rumor!"

Li Mu said, "Why do you compare yourself to such a noob, you really are humble!"

I laughed, "Time to go, lock down Jiuli Forest and Deer Lake!"

"En!"

……

A breeze blew across the forest. Deer Lake was covered in half human-sized grass and in it were many small deers eating or drinking water. It looked like Deer Lake wasn't occupied. Right, Sky Rose teleported out of Jiuli City and the Gryphon Cavalries flew from the sky so naturally, Deer Lake would be silent and quiet.

"They haven't passed."

Wolf walked forwards and scouted, "The monsters are still here and no one killed them. What should we do?"

I waved, "Split into 12 thousand men teams and clear the monsters. Send the hawk scouts to grasp the situation around."

"En!"

12 teams split up, top players were in charge. Wan Er, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Mocha etc were all leaders. I was the leader of team one and in it were Dancing Forest and Dong Cheng Yue. The rest were all Furnace God Cavalries so our overall strength was really strong.

Unicorn Deer, level 245 monster was the most common one here. With our current level, killing these gave us quite decent experience, especially for those that hadn't ascended. If not for the country war, this forest would probably be occupied by Prague and Hero Mound.

We cleared the deers in front of us and Qing Qian suddenly said, "Center of the lake, ten oclock around 2000 meters there is a bunch of Iron Skull City cavalries, around 2000 of them. Brother Xiao Yao give the order?"

I glanced and said, "Team 7, 9, 10. 11 surround them and kill them all!"

Lin Wan Er was the team 7 leader and smiled, "Understood!"

The other three leaders all replied. My team wasn't in a good position and was further away so there was no need to go. We would just wait here. There was no need to run about.

……

The battle started in the distance and ended in just 20 minutes. Zhan Long's 4000 Furnace God Cvalaries and 4 god grade players with Wan Er who was a mid grade god. To kill 2000 Iron Skull City players was just too easy. After killing them, we didn't even lose 200 people.

"Fang Ge Que is not back yet?" After waiting for half an hour I asked impatiently.

Dong Cheng Yue's elf wings flapped and she sat on the branches above me, shaking her long white legs, "Nope, he is chasing the wind. He killed millions. Calm down, give them a chance to chase up!"

I looked at the points, indeed, Fang Ge Que's gap with mine had reduced.

But, he can't give up on Tian Ling City for the points!

After all, Nine Heaven City was staring at us aggressively. Demon Mountain was smart and if he was forced he might really attack. We lacked troops and once he sent his army, we won't be in a good state.

……

A scout landed and it was from the Royal Army, "General, the situation on Fire God Mountain is much better and Swirling Abyss City's army had retreated by ten yards. General Autumn Leaf asked me to ask you what to do?"

I said, "Tell him to focus and continue to defend. Apart from that send His Majesty back to Tian Ling City, we can't let him be in danger."

"Yes General, I will do so right away!"

I sent this scout away and was suspicious. How did he know I was here? It must be the system, after all this was a game so how could it be like real life.

……

A while later, Dancing Forest flew over excitedly, "I scouted and saw a bunch from Bonecrusher Forest. They are people scattered by Fang Ge Que from Iron Skull City, around 4000. They are heading over. Should we attack them?"

I nodded, "4000 isn't much, let team 2 and 4 come over and let's ambush them!"

"Okay!"

……

Very quickly, the 3000 Furnace God Cavalries gathered and hid in this dense forest. Player vision here was around 500 meters which meant that players within 500 meters would turn red on the map. But once they entered the range they wouldn't be able to flee. Furnace God Cavalry's Flying General effect ignored land area so their movement speed was much higher than other mounts.

We held our breath and waited for the enemy to appear.
