Zhan Long

Chapter 1045- Strategic weakness

"Hong!"

Cannons fired in the distant forest and flames rose into the air. The shockwaves spread over within ten seconds and caused our robes to flutter. It was obvious that some people had used Dragon Crystal Cannons to assist them. They weren't from the China Region NPC army as I had left them at War God River. Thus, they were either from Waterfront City or Nine Heavens City.

Cannons were firing there while we were quite leisure. The Zhan Long players were clearing up the battlefield. After two hours of battling, we lost 10 thousand people but killed over 70 thousand. The ratio was 1:7 and this was a huge win. But this wasn't enough, we had to kill more to turn the tides of battle.

…

Ahead, Mu Xuan led Wild Beauty and Wild Swan over. Their robes were exquisite. Their clothing saved on cloth and only relied on a golden thread to connect them from the middle. In the end, two alluring balls could be seen that caused One Second Hero and Old K to breathe heavily.

"Thank you Little Zai Zai!"

Mu Xuan's smile was as beautiful as usual. This Appearance Alliance Guild Leader never lacked the ability to attract guys. She placed her hands on her hips and looked at me, "If not for Zhan Long arriving in time, Appearance Alliance would have gotten wiped here."

I smiled "Small matter, we have to support allies. Speaking of which, how did Appearance Alliance get trapped? If you attacked and retreated with Judgement and Enemies at the Gate, you definitely wouldn't have ended up in such a situation."

"Who knows, maybe those few were more cowardice." She smiled and as she did, the semi-circles in front of her chest shook too, "China Region has sent over half of our online players for this, around 30 million. But in the southwest, there won't be over 8 million, so we are slightly weaker in this direction."

"Oh?" I frowned, "Where did the main force head to?"

"Northeast. They are clashing with Nine Heavens City's Demon Mountain and 7K… Scoff scoff!" Mu Xuan smiled deeply, "One must know, our Heaven Planning Hall Grand Battle Axe is really intelligent and strategic. He wants to wipe out Demon Mountain's pride and says that Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple are nothing. We have to focus our troops over at Nine Heavens City."

"That idiot!"

I gritted my teeth, "Didn't Fang Ge Que and Q-Sword stop him?"

"This…" Mu Xuan giggled, "I heard that Fang Ge Que recommended not to but Rumor didn't listen. He felt that if Demon Mountain didn't die, the city won't belong to us, so…"

She looked at me, "Little Zai Zai, what do you think now?"

I frowned, "My opinions are not important… I went to talk to Demon Mountain in Nine Heavens City and told him about joining hands. We are enemies with the Indians but only have some small grievances with Nine Heavens City. If we attack the Indians, Nine Heavens City might not attack us and Demon Mountain will definitely attack them and then fight with us after. That would mean that we would have one less competitor. As for now… Okay… We are grabbing a hot yam in our hands."

Mu Xuan laughed, "Haha so funny, what should we do now?"

"Try our best…"

I spread my hands and shrugged, "There is nothing we can do,

Zhan Long is going all out and Waterfront City has at most 8 million people nearby. We can gather some allies over to fight here and we might be able to win. Let's just hand the northeast to Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han."

"En!"

…

Li Mu walked over, "Enemies at the Gate have sent a plea for help. Them and Blood Contract along with 17 allies are fighting with the Indians in the northwest. However, the Indians have NPC cannons while we don't."

"Damn…"

I raised Butterfly and said, "Mobilise troops and check the coordinates. Since they have formed up, we should attack their formation. We will charge through their cannons and level them out in the forest. Apart from trees, there is nothing else. This place belongs to Furnace God Cavalry, prepare to crash!"

"Okay!"

We gathered up our troops and in less than 10 minutes, close to 60 thousand Zhan Long players and 50 thousand Appearance Alliance allies were fully gathered. 110 thousand along with 50 thousand from Misty Clouds, we did have the ability to fight. However, when I asked them how many the enemy had, they had a full 3 million. Moreover, the commander was Clear Black Eyes.. We could only battle them with our stats!

…

Dragon Crystal Cannons continued to fire in the forest. In the distance, the shockwaves from the cannons got denser and denser. Furnace God Cavalry continued to charge at the front. I used Icy Wings to scout the land. Clear Black Eyes was just too smart and we had to be careful.

But when I looked out, I realised that Clear Black Eyes's Beautiful Life was fighting against Enemies at the Gate and Blood Contract. She relied on cannon pressure to smash Misty Clouds and Han Bei Song. However, there were still a group of soldiers that didn't move. They were guarding behind and protecting the cannons.

I flew back to the ground and said, "What are those blue war horses. There is such a huge bunch of them!"

"I know."

Mu Xuan sat on Wild Beauty's war horse and said, "Freedom Maniac Guild, they are ranked 7th in India but they are really huge. Their leader is an idiot called Reputation but he is a very friendly person and loves to make friends online. He has many allies too. What did you see?"

I said softly, "At least 1.2 million are guarding the backline of their formation to protect Clear Black Eyes's cannons. Freedom Maniac is leading the way."

Mu Xuan sucked in a deep breath, "What should we do?"

"How is Reputation?"

"He is rash and stubborn."

"That is good…"

I turned towards Li Mu, "Li Mu lead the Valiant Bravery brothers to provoke Freedom Maniac. Fight for 20 minutes before retreating!"

"Why?" Li Mu was shocked.

"To draw them away." I clenched my fists, "I will lead the Furnace God Cavalry main force to ambush. Once they leave the camp, we would have a chance. Just 20 minutes and we can destroy those cannons."

"Great!" Li Mu smiled, "As long as we annoy Clear Black Eyes, I am willing to do anything!"

…

We split up quickly and I led 10 thousand Furnace God Cavalry into the forest. We maintained a speed below 50% and the cannon fire covered the galloping noises. We pushed forwards carefully and stopped 3 miles out. Not long later, Li Mu, Mu Xuan etc led Zhan Long and Appearance Alliance to charge.

We waited quietly.

20 minutes later, Li Mu sent a message, "We have started to retreat. Reputation really is rash, he disobeyed Clear Black Eyes and sent people to chase. They sent many, at least 500 thousand, but… You might not like this news. Clear Black Eyes ordered more guilds to protect the cannons."

"That is okay. Retreat first, back out 10 miles before fighting them."

"En!"

I pulled out Butterfly and waited. Once Freedom Maniac and the allies were far, I gave an order for the Furnace God Cavalry to charge. I hugged Flaming Cloud Infanta Lin Wan Er. This sneak attack depended on her. Strictly speaking, it depended on Little White!

Furnace God Cavalry's speed was 500%, only lower than that of God Wind Cavalry. A few minutes later, we were out and ahead was a bunch of Indian players trying to form up once more. This was a great chance!

"Charge!"

I hollered and dashed forwards with the 10 thousand+ Furnace God Cavalry. We reached out and charged in before they could react. I was at the front and slashed with my blades. A bunch of Furnace God Cavalry stabbed 500 meters into their camp. In the sky, Lin Wan Er rode Little White to spit out flames and freeze the Indians.

"Now is the chance, destroy all the Dragon Crystal Cannons!"

Dragon Crystal Cannons had durability and there were around 100+ of them here. Most of the barrels were red and that greatly reduced the durability. Furnace God Cavalry charged and swords slashed onto the metal, causing the durability to drop. very quickly they were turned into pieces. The metal was twisted and couldn't be used anymore.

In less than 10 minutes, 100+ Dragon Crystal Cannons and 200+ Flame Dragon Cannons were turned into trash. Lightning light flashed in the forest and Beautiful Life's Lightning Trampling Cavalry was here to assist. But they were too late.

"Retreat!"

I pushed my sword forwards and led the Furnace God Cavalry away. We used our mobility to break away and if they really chased, once they broke away from their ranged team, we would be able to kill them.

…

"Hahaha…"

Old K held his bloodstained war axe, "This time Clear Black Eyes must be furious!"

I smiled. Clear Black Eyes might have calculated everything but she couldn't keep track of one's heart. Reputation wouldn't get controlled by others like how Rumor, Wang Zecheng, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han won't get controlled by me. They were weaknesses in war.

Some things were unavoidable and one could only try our best.
