Chapter 1,227: Detonating the Ambush

"Watch out in the air!"

Fang Geque shouted in the crowd, and a group of mounted combat players from the Mythical Guild lowered their heads, and their bodies sank below the line of the shield. The next moment, countless predators and winged demons flew towards them. Just like droplets of blood, the players dodged, but the NPC did not. Hundreds of soldiers of the ground and navy had no time to dodge, and their heads were removed directly. The blood sprayed in the air and dissolved with the snowflakes. One place is terrible.

The artillery fire continued, but the alien demon army seemed to be inexhaustible. After all the Shura Cavalry were killed, a large group of savage wolf cavalry followed. They continued to crush and attack the positions of players and NPC armies in the city. With each passing day, the number of players fighting in the city became smaller and smaller. After four hours of hard fighting, the number of combatants dropped sharply to 20% of the original last hit. Many guilds had already begun to retreat and climbed up the escalators to the Hanhuang Dragon City. .

…

"Crack!"

The long sword pierced the abdomen of a savage wolf rider. Yan Zhao Wushuang shouted and burst out with the Vulcan Blade, killing the savage wolf rider for a second. Then he looked around and saw that the corpses of the Prague players were piled high. He His eyes were slightly red, not only because of the heavy losses in Prague, but also the losses of the Changfeng Legion. After Bai Lining died in the battle, the loss rate had exceeded half.

"Uncle, retreat quickly!" Yue Qingqian led a group of dragon-slaying players to reinforce.

Yan Zhao Wushuang held the sharp sword, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness: "Withdraw!"

As soon as Bragg withdrew, guilds such as Myth, Tomb of Heroes, Edge, and Judgment also withdrew. Players under the city not only had to face ground attacks, but also the constant nuisance attacks from Winged Demons, Predators, and Thousand-Handed Monsters in the air. , this feeling is simply too uncomfortable, but the main reason for our retreat is not these, but another huge figure appeared in the distance, the prehistoric beast Stella came to kill again!

"Brother Xiaoyao, where are we?" Wang Jian asked, inciting the war dragon to hover in the air.

I reached out from afar and caught the blood-spiked Ganjiang sword that was coming from a distance. I returned the sword to its sheath and said, "Retreat, everyone, and enter the Cold Desolate Dragon City for defense!"

Our last troops left behind the city also quickly evacuated. Behind us were thousands of escalators leading directly to Dragon City. After the last group of us evacuated, these escalators were all cut off and destroyed. We cannot leave these important roads to aliens. Demon, otherwise it would be easier for them to attack Dragon City.

…

"Pap..."

Landing gently, he landed right in the middle of Zhanlong and Yulinjun's positions. He glanced at everyone. Basically, Ran Min, One Second Hero, Death Elegy and others all seemed to be fished out of blood. Xue Rou was no better at killing people than them. Few, but her skills were too high. She would move consciously even in a positional confrontation, so the blood stained on her body was not too much. The white jersey behind her was still white for the time being.

"There are so many alien demons!" Xue Rou sighed, holding the blood-stained Guiyuan Sword, and said with a smile: "This time, the alien demon territory is definitely out in force!"

Lin Xiaowu said: "Yes, I can't kill them all no matter what!"

Under the city, there is still constant artillery fire, and Dragon City maintains absolute firepower suppression, otherwise the strange demons would have attacked the city long ago. In addition, the artillery fire from the direction of Blade Edge Mountain is also extremely powerful. Fortunately, they have reinforcements, otherwise Hanhuang Dragon City Liu Shuang looked at Blade's Edge Mountain with a pair of starry eyes, and smiled at me, as if he was grateful to me for arranging the Royal Forest Army to set up a position here to reinforce Dragon City from a distance.

…

"Reorganize the front and prepare to welcome them to attack the mountain!" Wenjian galloped on the edge of the city. The elite players of the Tomb of Heroes were responsible for the defense of about 50 meters. It was not too big, but Wenjian looked solemn. , was arranging the defense extremely seriously. Fang Geque, Ye Lai, Muxuan, Piaomiao Yunyan and others were doing the same thing with him. The major guilds shared the defense positions, and no one dared to be careless. The demon's attack is too fierce, Han Desolate Dragon City must not be lost, otherwise both will suffer losses!

A little further away from the edge of the city, the soldiers of the Changfeng Army were resting. Uncle Yanzhao also stood there silently with his sword in hand. When I walked over, a captain of the Changfeng Army clasped his fists and said respectfully: " Da Zhige, you are here!”

I looked at him, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"In the end, the general only wants to defeat the strange demon, and he will have no regrets even if he dies!"

"good……"

Yan Zhao Wushuang also stood up and looked at me, his eyes full of solemnity: "It's so tragic. There are a total of 12 captains of the Changfeng Army, and now only 4 are dead, including me!"

I nodded, pointed at Yanzhao Wushuang and said to all the commanders of ten thousand and ten thousand of the Changfeng Army: "Now I appoint him as the acting commander of the Changfeng Army, and immediately begin to prepare the entire army for the next battle. All of them were sent back to Tianling City to recuperate and leave the battlefield."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison.

In case of war, I, the chief executive, have the power to appoint an acting commander. Now is the time to use this power. Yan Zhao Wushuang smiled at me gratefully and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyao!"

"You're welcome, get ready to continue the war!"

"Um!"

…

Under the city, the dense army of alien demons once again pressed forward, this time even more ferocious. The entire plain north of Dragon City was almost covered with Purgatory Fire Skeletons, Spirit Umbrella Insects, Spirit Flower Insects, and Lamp Holding Corpses. These four alien demon monsters were very difficult to deal with. Purgatory Fire Skeletons practiced both magic and martial arts, and once they stepped into the city, they could launch a terrible attack. Spirit Umbrella Insects could dig into the ground, enter the rock layer under Dragon City, and launch an attack from underground. Spirit Flower Insects relied on Spirit Umbrella Insects and Lamp Holding Corpses, and the explosive attacks they launched were absolutely fatal. As for the Lamp Holding Corpses, this monster moved slowly, but after getting close, it was simply an immortal body, constantly summoning Spirit Flower Insects and Rotten Corpses to launch attacks, which made people crazy!

"The military strength is at least over a million, so dense."

Ye Lai held a battle axe, stepped on the battlements at the edge of the city, spit, and said, "The weather is still so cold, damn, it's really hard to live. Players are fine, but NPCs are almost frozen into grandchildren!"

I nodded.

Looking around, the 150,000 Dragon City soldiers belonging to Dragon Domain are fine. They have adapted to the severe cold zone by being stationed here, and Liushuang and Zishu have prepared cotton clothes for these soldiers. They have a layer of cotton clothes under their armor to keep warm. In addition, they have adapted to the severe cold by living in Dragon City for a long time. However, the 100,000+ people from Tianling City are not so lucky. Dragon City is particularly cold on this day. Many soldiers, including the Imperial Guards, are already trembling, and many have even fallen ill with a high fever. NPCs are different from players. They are born, grow old, get sick, and die, which is completely different from us "aliens" with immortal bodies.

My heart is getting heavier. I know that players can fight here for a long time, but NPCs can't. At the beginning, they can ignore the cold and fight with their passion, but after a long time, I am afraid they can't hold on.

"Where is the quartermaster?" I shouted: "Let the quartermaster come over!"

"Yes!" A messenger from the Imperial Guards went quickly.

Not long after, a general wearing Tianling City military uniform rode up on horseback, dismounted and said, "Da Zhige, what do you want from me?"

I pointed at the soldiers on the city wall and said, "It's freezing cold in Hanhuanglong City, but they are fighting in single-layer armor. This won't last long. Go back to the Imperial Army Depot and deliver cotton clothes to ensure that everyone can wear cotton clothes to keep warm."

The quartermaster's face flashed with difficulty, and he said, "Da Zhige, the Empire has experienced 7 consecutive years of 'warm winters'. The temperature was above 10 degrees at the coldest time. There are not many cotton clothes in the treasury. Even if there are, there are no more than 100,000 sets. However, due to the continuous wars in recent years, the Empire has The army has expanded to nearly 2 million troops, where can there be so many cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers to use? "

"Ah?"

I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart, then looked at the distance helplessly and said: "Then transport the 100,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes over, give priority to the soldiers on the battlefield, and then order the Ministry of Revenue to rush to make cotton-padded clothes, as many as can be made. In addition, order the logistics to make ginger soup for every meal, and ensure that every soldier can drink a bowl. Otherwise, they may not be able to hold on in Longcheng. "

"Yes, sir, I will go to purchase ginger and cotton-padded clothes, and I will do my best!"

"Go."

I didn't make it too difficult for him, and it was useless to make it difficult for him.

...

"The alien demons are attacking the city!" A group of people shouted in the distance.

I hurried over, and sure enough, the densely packed parasol insects, lamp-holding ghosts, etc. at the foot of the mountain were already in place and began to climb the mountain. In addition, the huge Stella also slowly approached the city wall, making a trembling roar. Damn, is this thing really immortal? It was hit once by Bailinning's forbidden spell, and I strangled it in my stomach for a long time, but it still survived?

"We can't let Stella get close to the city..." Mu Xuan said faintly, "Otherwise it will be difficult to fight. Who among us can be Stella's opponent?"

Yan Zhao Wushuang grinned and said, "Damn it! The alien demons are getting more and more cunning. They actually sent Stella, the king, as cannon fodder to break the city. I really don't feel sorry for him at all."

Lin Wan'er smiled dimples: "Stella is thick-skinned and has a low IQ, so it's a waste not to use him."

Yue Qingqian's eyes were filled with deep worry: "Their troops are too dense, and the dragon crystal cannons can't be fired at all!"

"Yeah..."

I looked at the dragon crystal cannons around me. The barrels were burning red, and the severe cold couldn't cool the barrels quickly. The firing frequency of the Royal Guards on the Blade Mountain in the distance was not as fast as before. There was even an explosion on the Blade Mountain. The Eagle Cavalry Scout reported that a dragon crystal cannon was too hot and exploded, killing several soldiers in the artillery battalion. It was really a double whammy.

Liu Shuang slowly drew out the Zhan Hua Sword and said, "Dragoon, prepare to fight! Stella must be killed, otherwise Dragon City will be finished."

"Wait a minute."

I reached out and held Liu Shuang's arm, saying, "It's not time yet."

"What?" She looked at me in surprise.

...

I took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the beautiful Jing Yin, one of the ten thousand captains of the Imperial Guards, and said, "Jing Yin, use fire to send a signal to Han Yuan, let him detonate our 'ambush'!"

Jing Yin naturally knew what it was, and smiled happily, "Yes, sir!"
