Chapter 1227: Ice Death God
Chapter 1227: Ice Death God
Most of the Hybrid Demon troops were summoned by Azure from hell and in truth, it was a system setting. No matter how we killed them they wouldn’t be finished. The system wouldn’t let players run out of monsters to kill so no matter how many we killed, it was pointless. On the contrary, there was a limited number of Dragon City players and NPCs. If we traded 1:1, we would definitely lose. So I had to use special methods to change this situation.
Now was the chance.
……
Royal Army’s fire signal was burned both at Dragon City and Blade Mountain. The troops we placed on the plains started to make a move. In the next moment, a flame light surged into the sky and the explosives that were buried underground suddenly exploded and swallowed a group of Spirit Umbrella Bugs and Barbarian Wolf Cavalrymen. Then there were two explosions and the two explosions connected. One became two, two became four and they started to explode. In a blink of an eye, the plains turned into a sea of flames!
The million strong Hybrid Demon Army cried out in the explosions. They panicked and they didn’t expect there to be an ambush. Probably Pearl herself didn’t expect this right?
The area below Sett’s body started to explode and his stomach was blown open. This increased his injuries. The poor Sett who had 40% health before was now down to 17%.
……
Flames surged into the sky and the plains turned into hell.
Frost’s exquisite face was covered in shock and surprise. She didn’t expect me to bury explosives in the wilderness. Azure’s army attacked Dragon City and in this battle half of them were gone.
“Damn!”
Li Mu looked at the flames and said, “Xiao Yao, you buried these?”
I nodded my head, “If not what did you think I was doing when all of you were fighting at The Revered One’s ruins.”
I stood there with Butterfly and touched my nose. I smiled, “Damn, for this ambush I used up around 70% of the explosives of Tian Ling City. A full half a year of Dragon Crystal Mine produce has also been used up in these ten minutes!”
Q-Sword smiled, “That strike was brilliant!”
The flames of war continued to spread as the NPCs and players cheered. Although I had used up a large number of gunpowder reserves, this strike made us more united and it also gave us some confidence. It could also strengthen my position as The Executor.
Earth Ocean Army had suffered heavy losses and only 30% were left. Qin Yi was furious and wanted to argue with me. But after my strike, it totally shut him up.
……
“Attack!”
Wang Jian charged forwards with his sword and sliced a Lamp Zombie. Many Hybrid Demons avoided the blast radius and followed the original plan to attack Dragon City. This was a good chance for us to get points. Most of them were killed so the rest were half or low health. It wasn’t difficult to kill them.
I noticed that Demon Mountain had led some Nine Heaven City players and were on the walls. He got a 30 meter defense region from Fang Ge Que. Even Sky Rose and Seven Feather appeared on the walls. This city that had belonged to the China Region now had many foreigners. This was quite funny. We were enemies before and now we were defending together.
More and more Hybrid Demons charged up and down the mountain but Sett started to retreat. Those Hybrid Demons that retreated turned into cannon fodder. I could also see that Sif, Yin Huo and Qin Ge were all retreating. Were they giving up?
Thinking about it, that was possible, how could the Hybrid Demon Army give up so easily?
Xue Rou and Wan Er questioned and they all didn’t know what Pearl was thinking about. I didn’t have a plan either so I ordered everyone to be prepared while I held my swords and headed to get some points.
……
After two hours, it was now daylight. The few hundred thousand troops that the Hybrid Demons sent were killed but they didn’t make a huge move.
No one knew what they were doing.
“How long have the scouts been sent out for?” I asked.
Jing Yin stood behind me and rubbed off the snow on her shoulders. That revealed the golden Major badge, “We sent 50 out but none of them returned. They should be dead. Hybrid Demon Territory has too many Thousand Hand Monsters and Two-winged Demons.”
“En…” I started to consider heading over to Dragonslayer Stronghold to see what Azure and Pearl were doing.
But before I headed out, a black figure fell onto the city. Jing Yin headed forwards to help him. The hawk’s legs were sliced off and the soldier had a hole in his stomach. Fresh blood flowed and Jing Yin quickly helped to stop the blood, “What is going on at Dragonslayer Stronghold?”
This War Hawk Knight opened his eyes and said powerlessly, “Our scouts were all killed… I am the only one back… I saw, I saw…”
On the side, Frost and Zhi Shu walked over, “What do you see?”
He said, “Azure broke open the ground surface and summoned the power of hell, I saw… Numerous blue light gatherings, I also saw… Windrider Kate summons a storm. In a short while, a storm will descend on Dragon City… We… We only saw that before Sif killed us…”
My heart sank, “Send him down to heal.”
“Yes!” Two Royal Army soldiers carried him down.
……
“Now what?” I saw unease in Frost’s eyes.
“The storm will come quickly.”
I looked at the players on the walls, “If I am right, Pearl’s next strategy would be to freeze us.”
“Freeze?” Zhi Shu was shocked, “What do you mean.”
I panted, “Tianling City’s troops don’t have winter clothes and now over 20% of them are unable to fight due to the illnesses. I think Pearl saw all that so she is planning to go all out to crush us. Azure is summoning a cold from hell while Windrider Kate used the storm to send the cold over. We are going to have a huge problem.”
Frost’s body shook and rage appeared in her eyes, “How can Pearl do that…”
I waved, “Now we face two choices. One is to retreat and enter Dragon City to avoid the cold so that we don’t freeze. However, the Hybrid Demons aren’t afraid of the cold and they will take the chance to grab the city and kill us all. The second is to take out all flammable items and set up bonfires so that the soldiers don’t freeze. However, this won’t be a long term solution.”
Frost gritted her teeth, “Let’s use the second method!”
Frost looked towards Zhi Shu, “Queen Zhi Shu, order the Dragon City soldiers to move out all wood and oil etc and set up tents. Take out all the winter clothing, we have to get past this cold day!”
“Yes Lady!”
Zhi Shu bit her lips. She wanted to say something but she stopped.
……
Actually, most players weren’t worried and they were still killing monsters and laughing. I was also not sure that the cold would deal damage to players so I only just prayed that it wouldn’t.
We didn’t have any other choice and we definitely couldn’t give up on Dragon City. If not, Azure and Pearl would charge in and wipe out Bahuang City, Jiuli City and then head to Tianling City. When that happens things would be finished.
I sent messengers to send orders to the Royal Army troops on Blade Mountain to tell them to set up tents. I also told them to use the mountains of the Flame Hawk Archers. They were born with fire and with them, the Royal Army shouldn’t freeze. Apart from that, around 200 thousand Tianling City troops here were given winter clothes. We used all that we had. The other million were sent into the warm forest south of Dragon City. There was no need to send them to their deaths.
Qing Luo also sent people to the south to collect wood but that wouldn’t do much.
……
Close to noon, the Hybrid Demon attacks were getting weaker and weaker but the dangers were getting closer. Americans. Germans, and Russians accepted my suggestion and all headed down the walls to fend off the cold. Although players weren’t afraid of the cold but who knew whether or not the cold that Azure summoned would affect us?
“I think it is coming…” Wang Jian looked into the distance and said.
I saw that the ruins left by the Dragon Crystal Cannons turned snow white and that was the area turning into frost from the water freezing up. It was here, this frost was much more terrifying than I expected!
The frost was getting closer and closer and it spread down the foot of the city.
“Be careful,
