Starting From Zero

Chapter 134 Fall

The dragons lowered their height and quickly approached the canyon. I could already see the big crater created by the Tower of Babel! The camp of the Light Army is at the mouth of the canyon. Most of the facilities are there, and many things are left in the camp. No signs of fighting were found in the camp, either it had been cleared or no fighting had taken place. The Dark Army was in a hurry and there was definitely no time to clean up the scene. It could only be considered that there was no fighting. It seemed that the Light Army had evacuated early! There was no time to dismantle the camp, so the Army of Light must have been running in a panic. It was right to think that they came to attack in a show of force. Unexpectedly, the situation reversed overnight, and the attack turned into a huge retreat. It would be strange if it was not 'chaos'!

Since there was no fighting in the canyon, we continued to fly forward. At about 12 o'clock at night, we finally caught up with the back of the Dark Army. I finally found Domingue, who was leading the team, and when I asked, I found out that Al Ni was not in the team! Where did this girl go? It doesn't take so much trouble to catch a spy, right?

The dragons did not fly to attack the city in advance. It would be better to wait for the dark army to join together. It is better to fight with multiple arms than to go deep alone! The large group of people marched all night, and we finally arrived outside Yunxiao City at 6:30 in the morning. The brigade is still fifty or sixty kilometers away from the city. Although I can already see the city with the help of Star Pupil, that is because I am in the sky and the troops on the ground still cannot see clearly!

Although it is morning, Yunxiao City is one of the three main cities in the system after all. There are still many players in the leveling area outside the city, and there is also an endless stream of players coming and going on the road leading to the city. I rode on the head of the plague, leading the dragons as the vanguard to clear the way. The first thing players who leveled outside the city discovered was that the monsters around them fled regardless of their attacks. Many monsters ran out of the forest, but they also disappeared without a trace of the players around them!

After the monsters around them disappeared, the players stopped and looked around to find the reason, but they saw nothing. Many players are asking each other what happened, and small leveling groups also gathered together to ask each other what happened!

A soldier said: "It's strange, why are all the monsters running away?"

The mage next to the warrior looked around and said, "I don't know! Is there some boss coming out and scaring away all the little monsters?"

Just as many players were asking each other, suddenly everyone felt that the light around them darkened and then brightened again. When everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky, everyone was shocked. A giant dragon was stretching its huge wings across the head. The huge wings covered a large area of ​​the sky. The darkness just now obviously came from another giant dragon. .

"Dragon? This is an intermediate leveling area, how can you spawn a dragon?" An archer looked at the sky in surprise.

"There's one over there too!" A priest pointed to the sky next to her.

"There's some here too!"

"There's one too!"

"Everywhere!"

"Oh my God! Dragons, dragons everywhere!"

One after another, huge groups of giant dragons flew past the treetops at extremely low altitudes. A large number of giant dragons covered the sky and avoided the sun as they flew over the heads of the players. Just as everyone was watching the dragons in a daze, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and the forest began to shake! Suddenly, the trees in front of everyone let out an overwhelmed groan. The towering trees roared and fell to the side, and a mammoth beast appeared behind the fallen trees.

A knowledgeable player immediately shouted. "Oh my God! The level 600 Atia Mammoth actually appears here!"

The mammoth shook its huge head, and its pair of giant fangs that were tens of meters long immediately swept down another row of trees. The mammoth that had cleared the passage began to move forward. Every step it took caused a tremor in the surroundings. This guy's body was really astonishingly big!

After the first mammoth appeared, the big trees next to it began to fall one after another. One after another, the mammoths appeared on the edge of the forest. The giant trees with a diameter of six to seven meters and a height of 100 meters were easily twisted and pushed down by them like folding pencils. The entire forest was almost It was bulldozed in an instant! Seeing the mammoths approaching, the players were frightened and quickly stepped aside. Fortunately, the mammoths ignored the people around them and just walked forward.

Behind the mammoth beasts are a large number of skeletons and zombies arranged in a neat square array. These low-level dark creatures passed by the players in a mighty manner. There was a reckless warrior who wanted to go up and chop down two zombies to practice his skills, but was held back by his companions behind him. He looked back at his companion, who said nothing but pointed at the back of the skeleton army. The soldier was startled when he looked over. It was a knight in black armor riding a tall war horse that was also surrounded by black armor.

The person holding the soldier said: "That's a level 850 demon knight. It seems to be commanded by a skeleton. You kid just rushed up without even thinking about it!"

The young warrior didn't dare to speak. He didn't dare to say that he had the ability to deal with the level 850 demon knight!

The army dragged on for so long that you couldn't even see where the tail was, it just felt like it was endless! The surrounding players were frightened. The level of the monsters passing in front of them suddenly jumped a lot, from skeletons to dark soldiers. A large number of monsters of level 700, 800 or even 900 passed by them in a square formation. Many rare creatures appeared in hundreds or thousands, especially the giant dragon that had not been seen in a century, and more than 10,000 of them flew past in one go!

There were also a large number of siege equipment among the large troops, which seemed to be used for siege. A player said to himself: "Are they going to attack Yunxiao City?"

The person next to me said casually: "It's possible!"

After a pause for a few seconds, the two people suddenly looked at each other and screamed, and then shouted at the same time: "They are going to attack the city?" The two people shouted together: "Monsters are attacking the city! Monsters are attacking the city!"

When they shouted, all the players around them reacted. Suddenly, a light of town portal scroll flashed around them. It would be a fool not to run away at this time!

The dark army soon arrived on the grassland outside Yunxiao City. The remaining 21 million dark army lined up on the grassland after the Canyon Ambush and the Battle of Essinger. It was already past 8 o'clock when the team was fully deployed. The dragons were in the team. Landed behind and waited for the order to start the battle.

Arni seemed to have disappeared. He had not seen her from the beginning to the end. There was no sound or training at all! There are currently three senior commanders in the Dark Army, and I only know Domingue. Although the level is relatively low, Domingue is the commander-in-chief of these dark legions. He is a commanding NPC, mainly with intelligence, followed by force! After a brief discussion with Domingue, we decided not to wait for Arni. Anyway, she had already sent a message to leave the army to my command. It didn’t matter whether she came or not!

We arrived earlier than the scheduled time, so none of the players from Essinger have come yet. We made some preparations for the battle first and waited for the players to arrive. Anyway, the Temple of Light in Yunxiao City knew about our attack and they had already been prepared. , if we wait a little longer, we won’t miss the opportunity! In addition, the Dark Legion brought a lot of siege equipment, some of which were made by our Essinger players. Because these equipment were too big to be transported using the teleportation array, they were all brought by the Dark Legion, but the players could not reach them. No one knows how to use these things!

I contacted Essinger using SiLiao. Rose said that she had taken the players out of the city. Because the Temple of Light listed all players of the Rose Alliance as hostile forces, they could not use the teleportation array of Yunxiao City and could only travel from nearby places. The city came over. Fortunately, our Frost Rose Alliance players all have a spear as a means of transportation, so they should be here soon!

After cutting off the contact with Rose, I tried Xichao in Hongchenqiufeng again. It was not bad, and he was also there. "Where are you?"

"I'm in the wild!"

"Do you have a scroll to return to the city? Come to Yunxiao City quickly!"

"What did you do when you weren't guarding the city at Essinger and went to Yunxiao City? Isn't now the time when the fight should be fiercest?" Only people in our guild know about Essinger's fall. All the players recruited by the Temple of Light are using Those who came to act as scapegoats and blinders did not follow the battle at all, so there were no players in Essinger's army at all. Therefore, no one among the players in the Temple of Light knew about this tragic defeat. Hongchen Qiufeng thought I was still fighting. It makes sense!

I smiled and said: "There was an accident, but we won anyway. The Legion of Light currently has less than 10 million troops left, and there are no flying monsters among them that can carry soldiers. Although there are still many flying angels, But it’s no longer the air force! Our more than 20 million dark legions have already arrived at Yunxiao City. Please help me enter the city to check the situation. We will take down Yunxiao City in a moment!"

"No way! It was a defensive battle just now, now it's your attack? Boss, you are so awesome! I didn't defect to the wrong person! I don't have a return scroll from Yunxiao City, but I have one from another city, I'll teleport it immediately Go over there, wait for me for a while, and don’t cut off contact!”

"OK!"

A minute later the sound of the red autumn wind sounded again. "Boss! I've arrived at Yunxiao City. Which side of the city wall are you on?"

"Which way? We have an army of 21 million people, surrounded on all sides, everywhere!"

"Oh! That's it! I want to know which side of the city wall to look at first, and which side do you plan to attack from? Let me help you check out the situation on that side!"

"You should take a look at the east gate first!"

"clear!"

After a while, the sound of the red autumn wind came again. "Boss, I'll open the video for you, watch it yourself!" A video chat application confirmation appeared in my SimChat. After I confirmed, the screen lit up. The distribution of troops on the wall of Yunxiao City was clear at a glance, but the soldiers seemed sparse and there seemed to be not many of them. It was really strange!

I quickly called Domingue and the other generals over. It just so happened that the player team also arrived, as did two senior staff officers, General Wu and Sumei. I studied the battle situation for several of them based on the video, and placed a model of Yunxiao City brought by the Dark Legion on the ground. It seems that Al Ni has been thinking about Yunxiao City for more than a day or two. The information is so detailed that he even made a model of the city!

I pointed out the model to everyone. "Here, on the city gate, there are about 10,000 defense troops, and there are 30,000 reserve troops under the city wall here. Here are trebuchets and artillery, this is the magic crystal cannon, and there is a barracks here, and there are 50,000 more troops inside. Troops. The other three doors haven’t been looked at yet!”

General Wu looked at the model for a long time: "Is there an error? Why is there only such a small amount? Didn't there be 10 million troops who fled back to Yunxiao City? According to this strength, the total number of troops in Yunxiao City does not exceed 10,000. How did the 10 million army shrink? so serious?"

Su Meiye said with a complex expression: "The commander of the Light Legion is obviously not an ordinary character. The last time I attacked Isinger, if it weren't for the variable of the anti-gravity device, Isinger might have ceased to exist. . Grandpa Wu has suffered a hidden disadvantage despite his rich experience. Although there are factors in this that he does not understand the game settings, but I have to admit that the commander of the Light Army is a master. Such a master will not be willing to fail. I doubt that The 10 million troops did not return to Yunxiao City at all. These 10,000 troops are not the offensive troops of the Legion of Light, they should be the city defense forces of Yunxiao City!"

I looked at the empty Yunxiao City in the private chat. "If the enemy has not returned to Yunxiao City, then where do you think these 10 million troops have gone? Essinger? Absolutely impossible! Since the other party knows how to run, it means they know what happened to Essinger, then they should realize that Essinger Singer can fly. It is really impossible to attack a flying city without much air force. Anyone who is not a madman will not do that!"

Domingue interjected and said, "Listen to what I have to say! The expeditionary force of the Light Thieves Party (that's what people in the Dark Legion call the Light Forces) has not come back. Basically, it can be considered that the other party has given up on Yunxiao City. All fools know this. Ten thousand defenders cannot stop the 20 million attacking troops, even with city walls! Then they must be ready to give up Yunxiao City! But the Temple of Light must have a reason to give up the city, and they cannot give up needlessly!"

"Could it be to save those 10 million troops?" After listening to our discussion, Ruthless interjected!

Domingue shook his head. "Even if 10 million troops come back, they can't defend Yunxiao City, but they can use the city wall to consume a lot of our physical strength, so even sacrificing these 10 million troops is worth it for the Temple of Light! So, they can't be for these troops! There must be something that makes them feel more important than Yunxiao City. The Temple of Light probably wants to trade Yunxiao City with us for this goal! But I can never think of a goal that is worth this price!"

I boldly said, "Do you think Dark Canyon is worth it?"

Everyone was stunned! Domingue pondered for a while and shook his head: "Impossible! The Dark Canyon is where the Dark Temple is located. There is a Lost Town guarding the entrance on the outside, and there are Dark Legion guards inside! The Lost City is a little far away from the canyon. Point, if you pay attention to concealment, it is possible to pass. But it is impossible for the Dark Army in the canyon not to detect the enemy! We are not mobilizing all the forces of the Dark Army this time. There are still about 9 million troops stationed in the canyon. Although the number We don't have an advantage, but we have defensive facilities and we are fighting on the cursed earth. As long as we persist for an hour, the Lost Mystery Lock troops can come to reinforce. By then, with both sides sandwiched between them, the 10 million troops of the Light Legion will not be able to do anything at all. It’s not enough! The other party’s commander won’t be so stupid as to dig into his pocket!”

I said: "I gave Alni a piece of intelligence about collaborating with the enemy. After reading it, Alni ran away in a panic. Do you think it has anything to do with that?"

"Oh? What information?"

"It's the intelligence that we sent troops to ambush the Army of Light in the canyon, and it comes from the top of the Dark Temple!"

Domingue thought for a long time and suddenly said: "No! Not many people knew about that expedition, and they were all in the army, except for one person! That guy was a fallen angel with a very high position. After the war, he returned to the darkness with an excuse Canyon. There are not many high-ranking generals over there now. If he is a traitor and goes back to mobilize troops to deliberately let the Legion of Light enter the temple, it’s really hard to say!"

"Then should we go back for rescue?" Su Mei asked.

Domingue said: "The distance is too far, and it's too late to go back! We'd better capture Yunxiao City as soon as possible, and then ask the Dragon Clan brothers to help us take a look. I think even if there are traitors making trouble, it won't fall immediately. Yes, the two masters in the Dark Temple should be able to withstand it for a while! Besides, the Goddess Temple has returned, as long as the Lost City's Mystic Forces are dispatched, the chaos can be quelled soon!"

"You're right! Conquer Yunxiao City first!"

He cut off his private chat with Hongchen Qiufeng and started discussing battle arrangements with everyone. There are not many defenders in the city, so don't be too nervous. Just make a simple plan and start preparing for war! Our plan is to use siege weapons to open a gap in the city wall first, and then let the dragon rush in to take out those scary magic crystal cannons, and finally start the army to advance.

The battle formation was ready. The phalanx of the Dark Legion in the east moved to both sides to make way for a passage, and a huge transport truck was pushed out. This is our guild's siege equipment. According to Woma's description, this thing should be called a city-breaking cannon. It is said to be specially used to deal with city walls. Now this thing looks like an all-wooden container, and it even has wheels!

The cart was pushed to the front of the array. After finding the firing position, the players quickly folded the wheels of the cart into the body, and the huge launcher landed steadily on the ground. Several players pulled out long brackets from the car body, and several other players fixed the brackets into the ground. It seems that this thing vibrates a lot when it is fired, otherwise there would be no need for so many fixed brackets! The four German girls walked to the four corners of the car and grabbed the handle of the car's mechanism. After counting one, two, and three, several girls pulled the handle together. With a bang, all the walls of the container-like car body fell down, and now you could see clearly what was inside! The city-breaking cannon looks a lot like a flat anti-aircraft cannon, but it is much larger and has a more complex structure, especially the ammunition it fires. It was a giant crossbow with a length of 14 meters and a diameter of 30 centimeters. It seemed that there was a mechanism on the crossbow, not a simple cannonball!

12 male players came over holding a super cannonball. Two mm and force opened the cannon door, and the male players inserted the running bomb into it. With great difficulty, all the 14-meter-long artillery shells were pushed into the barrel and the gun door was closed again.

After all the city-breaking cannons were prepared, a German mm in command came over and said: "President! You can give the order to fire!"

"fire!"

"Yes! Fire!"

The city-breaking cannons made a loud noise at the same time, and the entire cannon body jumped up. Sure enough, the recoil was extremely powerful! A large crossbow arrow was 'shot', and as soon as the crossbow arrows left the barrel, they immediately began to rotate at high speed. Everyone was staring at the huge cannonball hitting the city wall! The sharp warhead of the artillery shell is made entirely of metal, and its penetrating power is very high due to its high-speed rotation. The 14-meter-long cannonball has a 6-meter-long warhead in addition to the propellant. Now the 6-meter-long warhead has completely penetrated the city wall, leaving only a hole on the wall with a diameter slightly larger than the warhead. A thicker hole.

I look at the female player in charge. "Is this a city-breaking cannon? Why is the thunder loud but the raindrops are small? It makes so much noise when it fires, but why is there no sound when it hits? Is it enough to just make a small hole with such a large caliber?"

"Don't worry, President! This shell uses a delayed fuse, it will take a while!"

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden earth-shaking loud noise on the opposite city wall, and the entire ground shook. The entire east wall of Yunxiao City turned into rubble and debris in the explosion. The entire city wall was blown down. The rubble flew hundreds of meters into the air together with the soldiers on the wall, and then slammed back to the ground. That scene is so spectacular!

The female player in charge explained: "The shells of the city-breaking cannon are filled with high-explosive 'drugs', and flame crystals are used as time fuses. It simulates the blasting technology of quarrying mountains. When excavating mountains, they are fired on the mountain." Make a small hole, and then put the explosives in. Explosives will be particularly powerful in a closed environment. City-breaking cannons use this principle. In fact, those shells are not very powerful. If they fall on the ground, as long as they do not If it hits directly, it won't even kill anyone, but because it penetrates into the city wall, the power becomes very huge. The key point of this kind of cannon is the entrance of the shell. The smaller the hole it penetrates, the better the explosion effect."

"Well! It's pretty good!" I looked at the city wall that was in ruins. I didn't expect the city-breaking cannon to be so terrifying!

A mm next to him ran over and said: "President, do you need us to use a sniper cannon to kill the opponent's magic crystal cannon? This way the Dragon Clan can avoid unnecessary casualties!"

"It's so far away, and the opponent's magic crystal cannon is still out of range. Can you hit it?"

"What's the point of calling a sniper cannon if it can't hit? Our weapons have a long range and high accuracy!"

"Okay! Give it a try!"

"yes!"

Another "container" truck was pushed up. This box was shorter than the box of the city-breaking cannon, but it was much longer! Assume that after the foundation is set and the four panels of the container are opened, there is still something like an anti-aircraft gun inside, but the barrel is really very long! There are a lot of messy little things on the cannon, and many German mm are playing with various machines on it.

"The foundation is tilted, correct 2 backwards, correct 3 right!" The commanding mm looked at various small instruments and began to give orders! The running seat began to rotate slowly, gradually correcting the tilt caused by the uneven ground. "Start aiming!" A few millimeters turned the handle, and the gun body began to slowly rotate and gradually aimed at the largest magic crystal cannon in the center of the city. "Load cannonballs!" Several poor male players groaned as they carried a shining silver cannonball over and loaded it into the barrel. A mm using a special optical rangefinder said: "The distance is 47 kilometers (the magic crystal cannon is in the center of the city), the elevation angle increases by 0.18!" The cannon was slightly adjusted, and we can hardly see the barrel moving! The commander looked at the crosswind speed and direction wind indicators again. "The wind speed is 7 knots, add two degrees from north to south. Turn the gun body 0.37 degrees to the left! Add 0.01 for the elevation angle!"

Adjusting the angle, mm said: "Get in position!"

"Fire!"

"Yes! Fire!"

"Poof!" There was a strange muffled sound, and I only saw a flash of flame on the muzzle. After waiting for a few seconds, a small cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the magic crystal cannon in the distance, and the magic crystal cannon fell down! This sniper gun is really accurate, it can point and hit anywhere within 47 kilometers! The only drawback is that it takes a long time to prepare for the launch!

The city wall has collapsed, and the opponent's city defense weapons have been knocked off one by one. I nodded to Domingue, then looked at Plague, only to find that he was still staring at Yunxiao City. "Plague!" He immediately turned his head. I pointed forward: "Charge!"

Plague raised its head and let out a dragon's roar. After receiving the signal, all the giant dragons spread their wings and flew into the blue sky and rushed towards the city!

Domingue also waved forward, and the flag bearer of the Dark Legion began to advance forward with the flag on his shoulders. The team behind him immediately followed the flag and began to charge forward. Several abyss trolls beat war drums several meters high and pushed forward. Looking from Yunxiao City, only a mass of black mass could be seen rushing towards the city.

I was so excited just now that I remembered that Hongchen Qiufeng was still beside the city wall. I forgot to notify him when I fired the gun just now. Nothing will happen! Just now, the main reason was that I didn’t know the characteristics of the city-breaking cannon. I didn’t know that the cannonball could blow up an entire city wall! If ordinary artillery were used, 20,000 shells might not be able to blow up the entire city wall!

He quickly connected to Hongchen Qiufeng's private chat. "Are you OK?"

"It's okay! I just ate a lot of dirt! Boss, what did you use? Damn, the whole city wall flew away, I was shocked! I thought the dragon came in first!"

"Nonsense, we must have used siege equipment first!"

"Of course I know you are going to use siege equipment, but I thought they were trebuchets and the like. Who knew you had brought out the atomic bombs! Also, you shot the magic crystal cannon in the center of the city, right? Really? Accurate! Hit the mark! As soon as I ran from under the city wall to the city, I saw that the magic crystal cannon suddenly had a hole in it, and then fell from the tower! There are so many good things in the boss's guild!"

"It's my first time to use it too! Our army has started to attack, you'd better leave the city quickly! By the way, try to take as many players away as possible, and you can spread the news that it's an NPC duel. Whoever is accidentally injured will be unlucky!"

"Understood!"

After cutting off the private chat, I stepped on Ye Ying's belly, and Ye Ying immediately jumped into the air and chased the team into the city. hey-hey! NPCs are attacking the city now. I'm here to take advantage of it. Yunxiao City is the headquarters of the Temple of Light. Although there are three main cities in the Temple of Light, Yunxiao City is not the largest of the three cities, but Yunxiao City is where the main hall of the Temple of Light is located. Xiaochun lived here originally, and I stole the Star of Light from here! I believe there will be a lot of good things in a place like this. Anyway, just give the city to Arni, and she won’t mind if I move some things! If you eat meat in the Dark Temple, you must give me some soup!

With the Earth Mother's space door and storage bracelet, I can empty out the city by myself! Ha ha! Treasures, here I come! With excitement, I rode Yeying and rushed into Yunxiao City, but things always seemed not to develop according to plan. It was really not as good as God! Halfway through the rush, the private message rang again. After answering, I found out that it was Shura Ziyi who was staying behind at Essinger! I don’t know what she wants from me right now! Is there something going on at Essinger?
