Standing below the city walls, Li Mu raised his head and said, “80% of the strong archers on our north side have been drawn away. How about it? Should we begin our attack?”
I wet my lips and said, “Let’s not rush yet, we don’t have any of the tools necessary for invading a city. We don’t even have [Sky Ladders]. How are we supposed to climb a 50 meter wall?”
“That’s true….”
Yue Qing Qian pointed and said, “Brother Xiao Yao, look over there…”
“Oh?”
Everyone looked over together and discovered that the NPC army from Ba Huang City had begun to hold their shields over their head as they marched forward toward the walls’ defense. They positioned the [Sky Ladder]s against the wall, and started to climb upward. One of the NPC officials with a beard that covered his face began waving his battle axe as he gave a whooping laugh, “You idle adventurers, now is the time to vow loyalty and devotion to the our sacred union. Attack! Once all of the creatures in this [City of the Ancients] have turned to dust, you will have successfully guarded your homes! Valiantly go forth and never retreat!”
“Should we attack?” Yue Qing Qian asked as she looked at me.
I looked at the number of NPC’s on the wall and gritted my teeth, unable to make a decision just yet.
Beside me, Wang Jian said, “Brother Xiao Yao, we don’t even know what the BOSS inside the city is even like. Maybe by going in earlier, we’ll reap some benefits?”
I took a deep breath and said, “I’m just worried… that we have too few people. We only have 347 players left, and although they are our strongest players, I’m just afraid that I’ll be making everyone suffer unnecessary losses.”
Bai Qi smiled, “Guild Master, you don’t have to be so worried. Seeing as we joined [Zhan Long], we’ll always trust in your leadership. Don’t worry, even if we’re annihilated, then it’s because we ourselves weren’t strong enough; it would have nothing to do with your command. I also support attacking the wall. If we reach the walls sooner, then we’ll have the rare opportunity to raise [Zhan Long]’s reputation!”
I made a fist, “Alright then, in that case, we’ll immediately attack the walls! Knights, take your shields and advance! Swordsmen and Berserkers will form the second line, while Healers form the third line. Mages and Archers will form the fourth line. Split up to climb the ladders up the city walls. First defend well, then begin clearing out all of the monsters on the walls!”
“Alright!”
……
I tightened my grip on the Emperor Qin’s Sword and advanced. My defense was already 2400+, greater than most of the Knights and Monks. Actually, I was the most suitable person in my guild to stand in the front and block the arrows!
One group rushed past 100 yards to the bottom of the walls and Matcha said, “Allowing Boss to take all of the damage alone could kill you. Despite your high defense, it’s not Wang Ze Cheng’s. Let’s do it this way; Boss and I will advance into the net of fire and divide the damage between us. After that, everyone else can advance!”
“Alright!”
Matcha and I were well coordinated as we both advanced into the range of the archers. At the same time, a rain of arrows came from the city walls, and the two of us slowly advanced, our bodies constantly covered in light from the heals. Along with us came many of Ba Huang City’s players; the only difference was that Matcha and I could withstand the attack and not die, whereas the other players did not have our luck; the ferocity of the archers’ attack had basically killed everyone!
“Pa!”
Firmly gripping the [Sky Ladder], I exerted strength with my foot, and climbed upward with a “tu tu tu” sound. The fifty meters were quickly scaled, and I turned and stepped onto the city wall. I immediately activated [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] and my Emperor Qin’s Sword danced, using its full power!
