Smile was a grandmaster and was one of the few close combat top players on the server. However, he couldnât gain a footing in such a war at all. As they say, random fists can kill an old master, much less there were mid grade gods like Dong Cheng Yue, Dancing Forest etc that were staring at him. There were also many Furnace God Cavarlies so Smileâs death was just a matter of time.
â¦â¦
Smileâs death caused the English Region's morale to drop by a large amount. Along with more system reports, the few ascended players all died one by one. Among them, Slaughterer was killed by me. Apollo and Summer were killed by Lin Wan Er. Instantly their entire region was in a panic.
I didnât purposely search for god grade players to kill. I just waved my swords to slash them. The country war just started so everyoneâs points were around the same, each kill was 10 points. This was the time when numbers were important.
Along with their morale dropping, their performance was still really resilient. Like what Smile said, they would rather die here than flee. Thus, even if the Flame Hawk Archers were strong, these English players didnât retreat and in a short time, the plains were dyed red.

Late autumn, the scent of the wilderness was covered in a thick bloody scent. Many corpses fell around and were waiting to be respawned. No one retreated and everyone just clashed.

The battle lasted for over an hour and things were different from what I thought. It wasnât a massacre, we also suffered some losses. In the 100 men team that I led, 18 people had died.
Until the top French Region player Hand of Waterloo died, only then did the battle turn into destruction. Pretty much none of the million english and French region players were killed, their corpses covered the plains.
âPa!â
I stepped on the ground and then flew into the sky. The plains were covered in people. Sky Roseâs force was finally here.
I flew towards the ground and shouted, âRetreat back to Prohibited Dragon Land and allow the cannons to protect us!â
Facing Sky Roseâs elites, if we wanted to fight them to the death on the plains then we might really die. There were too few of us and it wasnât enough, we had to rely on the land area and the cannons to win.
â¦â¦
The crowd retreated and we didnât even have time to clean up the battlefield. There was no need now, if we could defeat Sky Rose, that was our chance. If we couldnât win, we would lose the city so how could we even clean the battlefield?
A giant stone protruded out from the mid waist of the mountain and I landed on it. Wan Er, Li Mu, Jing Yin and Mu Xuan were all here.
Jing Yin wiped off the blood on her face and her eyes were filled with helplessness, âThey⦠They actually have so many troops. Sir, how should we fight them?â
I smiled, âThere is nothing to be afraid. Moreover, Heaven Barrier Army and Guards Army is about to arrive. We just have to defend Prohibited Dragon Land, the priority is still on us.â
âEn!â
âHow are the losses?â I said.
Yue Qing Qianâs expression turned ugly, â10 thousand Furnace God Cavalries and 1200+ of them were lost.â
I looked at Chi Yu Han and Chi Yu Qing, âWhat about Fan Shu Cityâs army?â
Chi Yu Han cupped his fists, âSir, 23000 Cliff Dragon Cavalries were lost, around 4000 Flame Hawk Archers died.â
I nodded, that wasnât surprising, after all, we had killed a million so losing 20-30% of our numbers was to be expected. I didnât dare ask about Royal Army, their cavalries charged at the front so their losses definitely werenât little.
Forget it, fight this battle first!
â¦â¦
In the distance, Iron Skull City and Western Alliance troops headed over. I could see them bringing crossbow carriages and crossbow cannons etc simple siege weapons. As for heavy cannons, they didnât bring any of them as they would affect the speed of travel. Sky Rose couldnât waste time at all. Since the Russians were attacking Fire God Mountain, they invaded Chinaâs internal map. This was their best chance. I would do the same, take down Tian Ling City at once if not the other cities were useless.
More importantly, I understood Sky Rose, Clear Black Eyes, Drunk Maple, Brown Eyes etc more and more. They too understood me, especially Clear Black Eyes and Sky Rose. If they attacked Moon City, I wouldnât let them. I would even use it to drag them down and then attack Iron Skull City or Swirling Abyss City. That was a loss that they couldnât afford.
The threat from the north. Clear Black Eyes told me that the agreement was she wouldnât attack the China Region in the third and fourth country war but it didnât mean that she wouldnât strategise for Sky Rose. They definitely had an agreement if not it would be impossible for the main china force to be in trouble.
âDong dong dongâ¦â
War drums sounded out. In the distance, an Iron Skull City war hawk flew over.
Dancing Forest raised the Rising Sun Bow and said, âShould we stew him?â
I waved, âDonât, letâs see what he wants to say.â
âEn.â
That scout had balls. Facing the China region players and NPCs he still dared to land, âXiao Yao Zi Zai, our guild leader Sky Rose invites you to meet in the skies, do you dare?â
I laughed, âWhy wouldnât I dare? Lead the way!â
âOkay!â
He turned around to fly while I activated God Form. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, Mocha were worried I would be ambushed so they followed. Thus, the god grade players of Zhan Long flew over with me. That formation looked really terrifying.
Sky Rose was actually there and she was riding a red mount, Flying Cloud Beast, it was a four star god boss mount. I had heard of it but this was the first time I saw it.
Sky Rose brought many people and behind her were many dragonriders along with some players that had flying mounts. There was 30-40 of them but they shouldnât want to ambush us if not there would be more than them.
âHa, Guild Leader Xiao Yao, long time no see.â She waved.
I smiled, âLong time no see, I didnât expect us to be talking on the battlefield.â
Sky Rose looked towards the ground, âYou only have so few people? How pitiful, the legendary number one of China only can command so few people? I heard that you are The Executor and in charge of the armies, seems like you donât have troops at all!â
I laughed, âWhy say all these? You and Clear Black Eyes want to split apart Chinaâs strength to make it tough for us to handle, isnât this the outcome you want? But donât worry, although we only have a million here, but I believe it is enough to block you!â
Sky Rose raised her brow, âXiao Yao, you think too highly of yourself. Look behind me, Iron Skull City has 14 million people, these are all elites, do you think you can block us? Honestly, if you want to rely on the land, how long can it protect you? In just half a day the cannons will arrive. Once we destroy the small hills, how long can you million last?â
My heart felt cold, Sky Rose was indeed a smart opponent.
âNo worries, bring it on, China wonât disappoint you.â I said.
âGreat, then prepare to fight. Letâs go!â
Sky Rose turned around to leave. I dove down with the Zhan Long players. Sky Rose wasnât threatening me, there was no need for someone of her level to threaten. She could do what she said she would.
â¦â¦
On Prohibited Dragon Land, Royal Armyâs drums sounded out. Tens of millions of Iron Skull City players and NPCs played their drums too. At that moment, there was a messenger. Heaven Barrier Army and Guards Army were here. Situ Xin and Lin Qiong came up the mountain.
âThe Executor!â Lin Qiong said, âWe are here!â
I nodded, âSend my orders, defend this place, we canât let them pass Lightning Pond.â
âYes!â
They ordered their deputy generals to send the message and still remained beside me, âThe Executor, since the Guards Army is here, this battle will be intense right?â
I smiled, âIt would be a fortune if we can get back alive!â
Lin Qiong held his sword handle, âTo die on the battlefield is the greatest honor for a soldier.â
Situ Xin nodded, âEn!â
Heaven Barrier Armyâs 140 thousand troops, Guards Army had 180 thousand. The two armies had around 330 thousand troops but even then we werenât as many as them. The only good thing was that the map wasnât large and the sides were cliffs.
The map was too small and just 50 thousand people could defend it. Sky Roseâs numbers advantage couldnât be used. Next would be the battle of attrition it was either she killing the 2 million of us or we kill all of them here!
â¦â¦
âThey are attacking!â Wan Er said.
I nodded and ordered Jing Yin and Situ Xin to stay here to command the troops. I led Wan Er and Dong Cheng down to welcome them. We were players and had to get more points if not others would get the MVP.
