Zhan Long

Chapter 1224: Life or death battle

"Master Li, what do you think?" Lochlan didn't care.

Being in a high position, Lochlan ignored people like Qin Yi. After all, Qin Yi did many things privately but in the open, he acted like he was a loyal person. Such a person was just really common.

I smiled, "Thank you general Qin Yi for your kind intentions. Tian Ling City is the foundation of the empire so naturally, we need someone to defend it. The capital naturally has to be guarded by the Guards Army. Our army has expanded to 180 thousand and they are said to be the strongest in the empire. General Situ, you stay to defend!"

Situ Xin was shocked, "The Executor why not let me follow you?"

I smiled, "Because you are the most suited to remain here to protect his majesty."

In other words, if someone else remained, I was not at ease but Situ Xin was really loyal. He didn't think as much as Zhu Hai so he didn't understand, "The Executor, man should roam the worlds. You make me stay here again..."

I laughed and slapped his shoulder, "Good brother, next time I will lead the Royal Army to protect his majesty and you fight okay?"

Situ Xin nodded his head, "Then... I hope you are successful!"

Who knew that Lochlan would frown, "Master Li, I want to follow the army, I don't need the Guards Army to protect me."

I shook my head, "No, you are the ruler of the country and you can't put yourself in danger. Moreover, you don't even have a single kid. If anything happens, who will take over?"

Huyan Li smiled, "Your Majesty, The Executor is telling you to get a queen!"

Lochlan looked a little awkward, "If the Hybrid Demons don't get wiped out, I can't think about that. But... Since that was the case, I shall remain in Tian Ling City. The Executor I hope you win!"

I nodded and continued to order, "Generals listen up. Apart from Guards Army, Fire Dragon Army will defend Sea of No Return. The others will follow me to Dragon City. We must reach before sun down or you will be punished by military law!"

We are Hosted , find us on google.

Everyone said, "Yes general!"

...

This time we were really going all out.

I was really busy and repaired my equipment before heading out. Royal Army was still in the north so if I wasn't there it didn't make sense.

When I arrived at the ruins of Revered One’s Plains, this place was just a living hell. Numerous players and NPC troops were injured or killed here. There wasn't any difference in nationality anymore. be it China or the germans of Nine Heavens City, or those Americans and British from the Western Alliance, we were all together. Everyone was finding a way to retreat. Those that were slower were sliced by Yin Huo.

Royal Army's formation was still quite complete. The Blade Shield Soldiers held their shields and blocked the enemies. They didn't forget to slash with their blades to shred the bodies of the Hybrid Demons. 4000 of them formed hundreds of meters of defence and behind them were the Dark Moon Elves led by Ling Luo. Further behind were the firing Dragon Crystal Cannons.

Han Yuan held his blade and slashed out streaks of blade energy to strike the crowd. Further away, Sif used her golden sword to strike Royal Army's heavy cavalry. Royal Army's cavalries were the most elite in the entire Tian Ling City and their armor was made of rare materials. However, they still weren't able to block Sif's sword energy. Her destruction power was like a blade that sliced the bodies of the soldiers.

But Royal Army's troops were heavy cavalries and they threw their sword energies back on Sif's energy shield. However, there wasn't much of an effect.

"Peng peng peng..."

Sword energy scattered off the protective shield and Sif's eyes were red from all the killing. Each strike would kill a few Royal Army troops!

"Scram you shit!"

Long Xing held his blade and charged down with the thunder dragon. There was a loud explosion and the blade left a mark on the shield. However, Sif wasn't so easily defeated. She waved her hand and that forced Long Xing and his dragon back. Blood splattered. Just one strike and one of my four generals were injured. How strong was Sif!

"Kong kong kong..."

On the ground, many level 8 Human-faced Lions charged at the Royal Army camp but they were blown to pieces by the Dragon Crystal Cannons.

Li Mu and Wang Jian also appeared in the chaos. They led 5000+ Zhan Long Furnace God Cavalries to cover the ranged players' retreat. Lin Wan Er flew above and Xue Rou acted as their captain. I looked around. Changfeng Army and Fire Rhino Army had retreated. Nine Heavens City's Summer Fire Army had retreated too. Demon Mountain led Thor's Hammer towards Dragon City. On the frontlines, only Zhan Long and Royal Army were risking their lives.

"Peng!"

I landed and used Seven Star Fragment Slash to kill a few low health Human-faced Lions. I raised my hand and targetted Sif, using Thundering Heavens!

Sif cried out and her armor dropped piece by piece. She was unable to support such attacks. She looked at me with killing intent before retreating. Xiao Lie and Autumn Leaf rode on the dragon back and took out their bows to fire!

"Ants fighting back!"

Sif retreated while blocking with her sword. The killing intent in her eyes got even thicker. But she was smart and knew that she couldn't stay here. She just waited for the Hybrid Demons to drown us.

I wasn't foolish and ordered right away, "Retreat, don't stay! Royal Army heavy cavalry lead everyone back, quickly!"

Han Yuan nodded and went to order the heavy cavalries. Royal Army's cavalries were all here, a total of 70 thousand of them. This was the reason why Sif wasn't willing to fight head on. If she did, she might not be able to return.

In the distance, the Hybrid Demon Army covered the area. But they were waiting for the Lamp Zombies, Hellfire Skeletons and Crescent Moon Nuns that walked a little slower. Such commanding was definitely down to Pearl. Apart from that, there was one more female that could do that, Clear Black Eyes. But she didn't have status in Hybrid Demon Territory and couldn't lead the army.

...

Everyone retreated orderly. Han Yuan went to help the injured Long Xing but fortunately, he wasn't too badly injured. The dragon could still fly and after bandaging it, it should be able to fight again. Xiao Lie rode his thunder horse over to my side and said, "General, we have 100 Dragon Crystal Cannons here but we moved too quickly and can't bring them with us. What should we do? Why not dig a hole and cover them. Then we can dig them out once the battle ends?"

I thought about it, "No need, just blow them up."

"Ah, why?"

He was shocked, "Sir, we used our lives to get these, how can we just blow them up?"

I smiled, "I don't want them to be used to blow up Dragon City. Xiao Lie do you not know that? The hybrid Demon Army is attacking well and they wiped out Dragonslayer Fortress. Now they are heading towards Dragon City slowly so someone smart must be commanding them. With her there, the Dragon Crystal Cannons will be used and so we must destroy them!"

He sighed and understood, "Sir, her highness... Haiz, she was our old master and she helped you so much. Did she become Azure's fangs? Now that you are forced to fight her, that feeling..."

I smiled bitterly and tapped his shoulder, "Brother stop it, Pearl will wake up. All that we can do is not get defeated before that!"

Xiao Lie nodded, "Although Pearl is smart but you are also a top general. I believe that you won't get defeated by Pearl!"

Pride flashed across my eyes, "With all of you, naturally I won't lose!"

Xiao Lie laughed and his words were filled with confidence. he didn't fear Azure. This was a true soldier that viewed death as a relief. Because of this group, Tian Ling City had the ability to fight against the Hybrid Demon Territory.

...

Behind me, there were loud explosions as the 100 Dragon Crystal Cannons were blown into iron.

Along with Royal Army retreating, I looked around to see that Revered One’s Plains had no place to defend. Next would be Dragon City. But Dragon City's size was just that, 500 Dragon Crystal Cannons was the limit. Once the Hybrid Demon army arrived, our firepower might not be able to suppress them.

We had to find a new spot that could support Dragon City!

...

I rode Mei'er and circled around. found it. West of Dragon City was a protruding mountain. it was 200 meters taller than Dragon City. But the peak was relatively flat and it was a good spot.

I ordered Han Yuan and Xiao Lie to lead 50 thousand Royal Army troops to defend this Blade Mountain. At the same time, 10 God Dragon Cannons and 500 Dragon Crystal Cannons were shipped up. Moreover, I started to gather Dragon City troops and moved 50 thousand Flame Hawk Archers to defend the Blade Mountain.

After which, I ordered Long Xing and Autumn Leaf to lead thousands to start digging tunnels in the hundreds of meters of flat land in front of Dragon City. They would bury Dragon Crystal Cannon gunpowder and connect them.

...

Since the evil spirit in Pearl's body wanted to fight me, then we shall decide it here!
