Chapter 1294- Armies clashing
Smile was a grandmaster and was one of the few close combat top players on the server. However, he couldn’t gain a footing in such a war at all. As they say, random fists can kill an old master, much less there were mid grade gods like Dong Cheng Yue, Dancing Forest etc that were staring at him. There were also many Furnace God Cavarlies so Smile’s death was just a matter of time.
……
Smile’s death caused the English Region’s morale to drop by a large amount. Along with more system reports, the few ascended players all died one by one. Among them, Slaughterer was killed by me. Apollo and Summer were killed by Lin Wan Er. Instantly their entire region was in a panic.
I didn’t purposely search for god grade players to kill. I just waved my swords to slash them. The country war just started so everyone’s points were around the same, each kill was 10 points. This was the time when numbers were important.
Along with their morale dropping, their performance was still really resilient. Like what Smile said, they would rather die here than flee. Thus, even if the Flame Hawk Archers were strong, these English players didn’t retreat and in a short time, the plains were dyed red.

Late autumn, the scent of the wilderness was covered in a thick bloody scent. Many corpses fell around and were waiting to be respawned. No one retreated and everyone just clashed.
……
The battle lasted for over an hour and things were different from what I thought. It wasn’t a massacre, we also suffered some losses. In the 100 men team that I led, 18 people had died.
Until the top French Region player Hand of Waterloo died, only then did the battle turn into destruction. Pretty much none of the million english and French region players were killed, their corpses covered the plains.
“Pa!”
I stepped on the ground and then flew into the sky. The plains were covered in people. Sky Rose’s force was finally here.
I flew towards the ground and shouted, “Retreat back to Prohibited Dragon Land and allow the cannons to protect us!”
Facing Sky Rose’s elites, if we wanted to fight them to the death on the plains then we might really die. There were too few of us and it wasn’t enough, we had to rely on the land area and the cannons to win.
……
The crowd retreated and we didn’t even have time to clean up the battlefield. There was no need now, if we could defeat Sky Rose, that was our chance. If we couldn’t win, we would lose the city so how could we even clean the battlefield?
A giant stone protruded out from the mid waist of the mountain and I landed on it. Wan Er, Li Mu, Jing Yin and Mu Xuan were all here.
Jing Yin wiped off the blood on her face and her eyes were filled with helplessness, “They… They actually have so many troops. Sir, how should we fight them?”
I smiled, “There is nothing to be afraid. Moreover, Heaven Barrier Army and Guards Army is about to arrive. We just have to defend Prohibited Dragon Land, the priority is still on us.”
“En!”
“How are the losses?” I said.
Yue Qing Qian’s expression turned ugly, “10 thousand Furnace God Cavalries and 1200+ of them were lost.”
I looked at Chi Yu Han and Chi Yu Qing, “What about Fan Shu City’s army?”
Chi Yu Han cupped his fists, “Sir, 23000 Cliff Dragon Cavalries were lost, around 4000 Flame Hawk Archers died.”
I nodded, that wasn’t surprising, after all, we had killed a million so losing 20-30% of our numbers was to be expected. I didn’t dare ask about Royal Army, their cavalries charged at the front so their losses definitely weren’t little.
Forget it, fight this battle first!
……
In the distance, Iron Skull City and Western Alliance troops headed over. I could see them bringing crossbow carriages and crossbow cannons etc simple siege weapons. As for heavy cannons, they didn’t bring any of them as they would affect the speed of travel. Sky Rose couldn’t waste time at all. Since the Russians were attacking Fire God Mountain, they invaded China’s internal map. This was their best chance. I would do the same, take down Tian Ling City at once if not the other cities were useless.
More importantly, I understood Sky Rose, Clear Black Eyes, Drunk Maple, Brown Eyes etc more and more. They too understood me, especially Clear Black Eyes and Sky Rose. If they attacked Moon City, I wouldn’t let them. I would even use it to drag them down and then attack Iron Skull City or Swirling Abyss City. That was a loss that they couldn’t afford.
The threat from the north. Clear Black Eyes told me that the agreement was she wouldn’t attack the China Region in the third and fourth country war but it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t strategise for Sky Rose. They definitely had an agreement if not it would be impossible for the main china force to be in trouble.
“Dong dong dong…”
War drums sounded out. In the distance, an Iron Skull City war hawk flew over.
Dancing Forest raised the Rising Sun Bow and said, “Should we stew him?”
I waved, “Don’t, let’s see what he wants to say.”
“En.”
That scout had balls. Facing the China region players and NPCs he still dared to land, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, our guild leader Sky Rose invites you to meet in the skies, do you dare?”
I laughed, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Lead the way!”
“Okay!”
He turned around to fly while I activated God Form. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, Mocha were worried I would be ambushed so they followed. Thus, the god grade players of Zhan Long flew over with me. That formation looked really terrifying.
Sky Rose was actually there and she was riding a red mount, Flying Cloud Beast, it was a four star god boss mount. I had heard of it but this was the first time I saw it.
Sky Rose brought many people and behind her were many dragonriders along with some players that had flying mounts. There was 30-40 of them but they shouldn’t want to ambush us if not there would be more than them.
“Ha, Guild Leader Xiao Yao, long time no see.” She waved.
I smiled, “Long time no see, I didn’t expect us to be talking on the battlefield.”
Sky Rose looked towards the ground, “You only have so few people? How pitiful, the legendary number one of China only can command so few people? I heard that you are The Executor and in charge of the armies, seems like you don’t have troops at all!”
I laughed, “Why say all these? You and Clear Black Eyes want to split apart China’s strength to make it tough for us to handle, isn’t this the outcome you want? But don’t worry, although we only have a million here, but I believe it is enough to block you!”
Sky Rose raised her brow, “Xiao Yao, you think too highly of yourself. Look behind me, Iron Skull City has 14 million people, these are all elites, do you think you can block us? Honestly, if you want to rely on the land, how long can it protect you? In just half a day the cannons will arrive. Once we destroy the small hills, how long can you million last?”
My heart felt cold, Sky Rose was indeed a smart opponent.
“No worries, bring it on, China won’t disappoint you.” I said.
“Great, then prepare to fight. Let’s go!”
Sky Rose turned around to leave. I dove down with the Zhan Long players. Sky Rose wasn’t threatening me, there was no need for someone of her level to threaten. She could do what she said she would.
……
On Prohibited Dragon Land, Royal Army’s drums sounded out. Tens of millions of Iron Skull City players and NPCs played their drums too. At that moment, there was a messenger. Heaven Barrier Army and Guards Army were here. Situ Xin and Lin Qiong came up the mountain.
“The Executor!” Lin Qiong said, “We are here!”
I nodded, “Send my orders, defend this place, we can’t let them pass Lightning Pond.”
“Yes!”
They ordered their deputy generals to send the message and still remained beside me, “The Executor, since the Guards Army is here, this battle will be intense right?”
I smiled, “It would be a fortune if we can get back alive!”
Lin Qiong held his sword handle, “To die on the battlefield is the greatest honor for a soldier.”
Situ Xin nodded, “En!”
Heaven Barrier Army’s 140 thousand troops, Guards Army had 180 thousand. The two armies had around 330 thousand troops but even then we weren’t as many as them. The only good thing was that the map wasn’t large and the sides were cliffs.
The map was too small and just 50 thousand people could defend it. Sky Rose’s numbers advantage couldn’t be used. Next would be the battle of attrition it was either she killing the 2 million of us or we kill all of them here!
……
“They are attacking!” Wan Er said.
I nodded and ordered Jing Yin and Situ Xin to stay here to command the troops. I led Wan Er and Dong Cheng down to welcome them. We were players and had to get more points if not others would get the MVP.
