Zhan Yue Novel - Chapter 587
Chapter 587- Who is it?
The sky was lit up by specks of flames. Many Flame Sky Cavalries appeared above the mountain protection formation. They waved their spears and sent fire spears into the formation. The entire barrier started to shake and ripple. Players could catch the durability of the formation and it was reducing. This development was not something that Xuanyuan Yu could stop.
……
“Arrow fire!”
Bai Jian shouted, “Black Castle won’t sit still and do nothing!”
On the walls, many Darkness Archers fought back. Along with the Ghostfire Cannons, Crossbow Cannons and Bed Crossbows etc heavy scale weapons, the Pioneer Cavalries, Skeleton Elves, Destroyers, Corpse Kings etc were hit. To break through the walls, they had to pay a heavy price.
But the humans and Black Castle NPCs were gone once they died. Many important NPCs won’t spawn for a second time but the Dimension Legion was different. Next time, there would be as many Destroyers and Skeleton Elves as they wanted. They were like clones, there was an unlimited number of them.
“Not good!”
Lin Xi charged about while messaging me, “I feel like we can’t even hold on here for an hour, now what?”
“No choice.”
I frowned, “Fire Demon Witch, Pioneer Valen, Twilight Blade Talon, these three Bosses any of them is tough for us. One can say that our strongest NPC can’t even take one of them. Now that we are stuck here, we might get wiped out!”
“Right.”
Lin Xi looked at me, “Did you notice, she said that she just wants the mountain and not King of Darkness’s life. What does she mean? Is their goal some treasure here? Or resource?”
“That can’t be?”
My body shook, “Is there a crystal mine here that she wants? Or is there something?”
“You are from Black Castle, you should be the one that knows better…” She was speechless.
“I am not sure.”
I frowned, “I used Shifang Flame Spiral Eye to look down before and there is only Blood Pond and the Spirit Meridians that have spiritual energy, the rest are stones. There aren’t any crystals or mines.”
“That is weird… Forget it, let’s focus on killing monsters and pass this stage first!”
“En!”
……
Time passed bit by bit. As the Destroyers, Skeleton Elves and Flame Sky Cavalries attacked, the defending army suffered more and more losses. Over half of the With You players that jumped down with me had died. Winds of Battle, Lingyan Pavilion, Forbidden City also suffered more losses. A bunch of them were killed by the cavalries and our strength wasn’t on the same level as them.
With You, management chat—
Mundane Slaughter was frustrated, “I just got the news that Blood Dynasty’s battlefield is really boring, Talon and Pioneer brought most of their forces away and only left low level monsters. Elements, Limitless and Breaking Dawn are just killing those low level monsters, they aren’t willing to help us.”
“Normal.”
Haotian said solemnly, “Black Castle’s losses are so heavy that each person that came has to lose a level, it is expected that Elements wouldn’t want to come over.”
“Not only that.” Shen Mingxuan said, “If Black Castle is gone, Lu Li is the one that losses. With You too. What does it have to do with Elements and Limitless? Maybe they are laughing at us die here, there are even some that hope that Black Castle gets wiped out sooner. Ah Li’s hidden job will also get wiped out too.”
“Right.”
Light Lantern said, “At this time, it is impossible to hope for our competitors to help us. I also think… The final battle would be gods fighting, we mortals can’t interfere. The scenario will push forwards and there isn’t much that we can change.”
I kept silent. These fellows didn’t see the last battle. I killed several Country Heads from Blood Dynasty and was so strong. What a waste, my strength wouldn’t come back now.
But seeing people in the guild die one by one, I didn’t feel good and said solemnly, “This time, for my faction many brothers died, I am grateful, thank you all!”
“Ah Li what are you saying?” Ah Fei said, “We all treat you as a brother, what is just one death?”
“Right, boss don’t care so much.”
Haotian said, “If our factions were attacked, I believe you will help too right?”
“Right.”
Cal smiled, “Ah Li, since With You was built we have gone through so many battles. You have always charged at the front and gave your life. Now it is our turn!”
“En, thank you everyone!”
There was no need to say anything more.
……
After half an hour, the formation started to crack. Many Flame Sky Cavalries stabbed in and waved their spears to sweep the walls. In the distance, Talon shouted, “Move aside, let me!”
The Flame Sky Cavalries scattered.
I turned around, “Quick, brothers at the breach move aside, danger!”
Everyone retreated. At that moment, there was a ‘shua’ and a light disappeared, it was as if the light source was sucked away to form Talon’s starlight. He slashed and the moment the sword energy flew over, the sky lit up once more.
“Light and Darkness is just a thought– Light Explosion Kill!”
“Hong”, Talon’s sword was too terrifying and it shattered a huge part of the barrier. In the next moment, a dozen meter long sword mark appeared on the wall and it started to collapse. This sword also killed a bunch of reserve undead cavalries.
He was probably as strong as a god?
“Broke through!”
Valen laughed, “Charge my skeleton elves, you are Fire Demon Witch’s strong soldiers. Rip the mountains apart, this time we will let Black Castle disappear from the world!”
“Hahaha— Why so problematic?”
Fire Demon Witch descended from above and smiled, “Xuanyuan Yu, your mountain protecting formation… Doesn’t look too good, come let me see if it can block a palm of mine?”
She spun around and held Flame god Sword behind her back. She spread her left palm and flames wrapped around it to form a flame palm seal. She pressed it on the top of the formation and it started to scorch. Many cracks started to appear!
“You!”
King of Darkness panicked and raised his hands. Darkness God Dragon bloodline power spurted out and the talisman in his hands shot out wind and lightning. However, that didn’t change anything. Fire Demon Witch’s strength was far stronger. In the next second, the entire formation started to collapse and turned into stars that disappeared into the wind. The formation stones around all exploded and the mountains started to buzz like it was the apocalypse.
“Not good!”
Bai Jian held his spear and shouted, “The formation is broken! Protect the mountain, we will protect the mountain with our lives! Charge!”
Bai Jian waved his spear and swept out a blood colored energy wave that turned a bunch of Skeleton Elves to dust.
Valen descended from above and shouted, “You dare to fight back! Come, eat my Extreme Desolate Slash!”
“Hong–”
Valen’s halberd descended from above with an intense light that covered Bai Jian’s head. In the next second, Bai Jian and his mount were split into two, his corpse was consumed by the desolate power and turned into ash!
……
“……”
I stood rooted to the spot and was about to turn into stone. Bai Jian was killed just like that? The heads of one of the three divisions died to Valen just like that?
This shock was something I had never felt!
“Attack!”
Fire Demon Witch held her sword and pointed into the mountains, “Rip apart Darkness God Hall and Blood Pond, we must find it. If we get its essence, Flame Army will become the top army of the Dimension Legion!”
“It”, who is it?
I raised my head and saw numerous Flame Sky Cavalries fly across. Many Destroyers and Skeleton Elves too. They ignored the players and just listened to Soora. They headed towards the three divisions. Lin Xi was right, their attack wasn’t for us, it was for it. Then, what is it?
……
“No need for resistance.”
Heaven Hound’s voice spread into my ears, “Once she gets what she wants she might leave, if you fight back, you will only die now.”
