After a few minutes, the ground rumbled, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard, coming towards us from afar. A tomahawk shaped flagpost carrying Ba Huang City’s colors fluttered in the breeze. The first army had arrived. Underneath the flag, a figure with a sword on his back rode a horse. It was a general. A player name appeared over his head—-
Forgotten Sea Lv-100
Class: Sword Saint
City: Ba Huang City
Position: Ba Huang City’s First Army General
……
“Whoa, a level 100 BOSS level NPC…” My mouth twitched.
Matcha excitedly exclaimed, “Boss. That’s Forgotten Sea, the strongest general of the seven great armies. Duke Luo Lei aside, he’s probably the strongest NPC in Ba Huang City.”
Li Mu rubbed his hands, “Even the First Army has arrived. Looks like this battle will be pretty interesting!”
Qing Qian’s beautiful eyes narrowed, “Now the only thing left to see is what Forgotten Sea plans to prioritize in this war. Will he first try to capture the forts first or will he try to deplete the garrison before beginning his assault.
Her question was answered very quickly, Duke Luo Lei emerged from the horizon. Brandishing his sword, he shouted, “Quickly, let us lay siege to them! Retake Fort Zi Feng from those barbarians!”
The sound of hooves pounding the ground echoed throughout the valley as the plains were soon filled with a mass of NPC cavalry, preparing to invade the city.
I furrowed my brows, The NPC’s AI isn’t very high. How could you use cavalry to enter a city with a wall that is dozens of meters tall? This is madness…
But soon, the first section of the NPC cavalry dismounted from their horses and began to construct all sorts of siege engines. So the horses were used to carry raw materials for the siege.
……
What should we do now, Brother Xiao Yao?” Qin Qian asked, puzzled.
I chuckled, then raised my Emperor Qin’s Sword and said, “[Zhan Long], move out! We’ll head South and stop 300 meters from the city walls. We’ll maintain our formation perfectly so that we can attack the fort’s NPC army at any time. Our foremost goal is to protect our NPC army from the attacks of the Jiu Li City players. Those big guilds definitely won’t let go of the chance to kill our NPC’s for equipment and experience drops. It’s a once in a lifetime chance!”
Everyone nodded. The [Zhan Long] camp advanced, taking up 200 yards. [Prague], [Vanguard] and [Enemies at the Gate] all advanced, making sure to leave space for the Ba Huang City NPC army to advance as well. We were like strong wedges, meant to guard the NPC army.
On the distant hilltop, numerous Ba Huang City flags kept appearing. Very soon, seven different flags were fluttering in front of a mass of platoons. The seven great armies of Ba Huang City were all present: Desolate Dragon, Blizzard Wind, Purple Star, Fierce Tiger, Nightmare, Desolate Cloud and Imperial Defense. All sorts of legions were displayed before the players. We felt blessed, if this battle for Fort Zi Feng we wouldn’t be able to see this grand sight; all of the NPCs and Leaders were all assembled in the same area. Of these Leaders, Luo Hai, Purple Star, and Angela had all achieved Sword Saint rank. These three were Duke Luo Lei’s left and right arms. They would definitely make a difference in the course of this battle.
……
From the midst of the Blizzard Wind army, a female general atop a white horse slowly emerged. It was the general of the Han Feng Army—–Angela. She was one of the strongest warriors of the Moon Elf tribe, and was known as the Moon Elf Princess. Angela was currently one of the greatest supporters of Ba Huang City. She drew a double edged lavender sword which glowed with a breathtaking luster. She brandished her sword at the horizon and yelled, “Han Feng Army, prepare for battle! The cavalry shall rush the fort’s walls while the archers will fire at the defenses! Attack!”
Yue Qing Qian blinked her eyes and smiled, “ According to the official Destiny lore, there was a Family or spiritual power and a glorious city to the north of Ba Huang City. However the city’s army was destroyed by [Duke] Luo Lei. Angela, the Moon Spirit princess was put into training under Forgotten Sea, and later as a Sword Saint, was promoted as Commander of the Han Feng Army.
I nodded my head as I glanced over at Angela’s figure. She did look a bit like Frost. But I knew, Frost was definitely stronger than Angela. You could tell the difference in their power.
Ba Huang City troops reached the city walls. At the top, there was a group of shadowy barbarians. They all had tall and sturdy figures. Based on the introduction, they were neutral creatures. Most of them were warriors, but there was a group of archers. Every one of the barbarian archers held an iron strongbow. One of the barbarians whipped back a bowstring and targeted one of Ba Huang City’s foot soldiers. “Ka Cha”! The bow broke in half. The archer was clearly stunned as he look towards his commander, “Commander, this bow is way too weak…..”
A barbarian dressed in full battle clothes stepped forward. “Pa!” He slapped the archer and shouted, “You fool! I told you to not use so much force. Why can’t you just learn? Did you think a longbow made by humans would even be able to take the ridiculous strength you use to f*ck your mother? Idiot! If you pull apart another long bow, I’ll skin you alive!”
