I came to the wall. As expected, 100+ giants moved over slowly. In the middle was one with a white staff. The giant was 6 meters tall and different from the other combat giants, this one had a white robe. He looked very noble. He was old and had a white beard.
âPrepare to fire!â Han Yuan said.
âWait, letâs ask them first,â I said.
Jing Yin nodded, âEn, they are not here to attack or they would have sent more people.â
Xiao Lie ordered, âDonât attack, let them get close. Archers prepare to shoot them!â
â¦â¦
This bunch got close slowly and the leading soldier held a hammer. He said, âWho has the highest rank, come out, my sir has something to say!â
I jumped up and stood in the sky. Butterfly shone and I said, âI am Tian Ling Empireâs Xiao Yao King, the highest commander of this army. What do you have to say?â
That white beard old man smiled, âThis time we sent troops before talking, please forgive our Aotian Race.â
I looked into the distance at the corpses. We didnât even have time to clean up the corpses.
âYou killed so many of us and want us to forgive you?â
I laughed, âYour Aotian Race is indeed really arrogantâ¦â
The old man smiled, âI donât know if your highness is willing to admit it. At least I think that you entered our territory first right? If you didnât pass through the barrier, you wouldnât have been surrounded. You entered our homeland so we attacked.â
Lin Qiong frowned, âOld fellow, what do you want? If you want to attack then come, our empire has never been afraid of dying. Bring it on!â
He laughed, âI am called Kong Fang, I am one of the advisors for the emperor. South of this, we have a million soldiers. I believe you have seen our combat strength. Could we move north and rule the continent?â
My heart felt cold. 1 million of so many terrifying soldiers? Then we didnât have much hope. If these 1 million attacked together, Tian Ling City might not be able to hold on. This Ghost Cityâs defence was strong and had 500 thousand of Tian Ling Cityâs most elite but we might not be able to block 100 thousand Aotian Race soldiers. If they had a millionâ¦!
Han Yuan held his blade, âOld thing, I donât care if you are Kong Fang or Kong Yuan, wash your neck and wait for my blade!â
Yan Zhao Warrior frowned, âXiao Yao, the NPC generals are all problematic. If they continue, things will develop towards the bad side.â
Uncle still felt like there was a way for peace. Since they attacked us, they had a goal. If we satisfied that, we might be able to survive.
I coughed and stared at them to tell them to shut up. Then I bowed, âSir Kong Fang, we came in by accident, we definitely didnât mean to be disrespectful. Please show mercy. If you could give a path for us to retreat, we will head back to Tian Ling Empire. If you have any requests, we will try to fulfill it.â
âYour Highness knows how to speak.â
Kong Fang smiled, âBut if you read the history books, you will know. Aotian Race was an old race from tens of thousands of years ago, the world thought that we were wiped out. In truth, we just avoided the battle of the gods and after tens of thousands of years, we finally had a million population. After the gods opened up the land, this place belonged to us but Nuwa created the humans that took over. They chased us and tried to kill us⦠Now that we have raised our flags once more, we want to find our pride and also our land.â
My gaze turned cold, âSir Kong Fang what does your race want?â
Kong Fangâs gaze turned greedy and violent, âDo you not understand? Aotian wants this world, we want to rule everything!â
âIs there no room for discussion?â I said coldly.
Kong Fang smiled, âYes⦠Our emperor is kind so why would we show no mercy? If you are willing, I am willing to help his majesty decide. I will use the god hammer to open the breach and let you head back to tell your emperor to bring his people out of the seven main cities and live in Ice Spine Mountain. Leave all the land to us, that would be enough.â
I laughed, âJust me alone? What about the army behind me?â
âOh, they are pigs with spikes!â Kong Fang laughed, âThese are just war machines for Tian Ling Empire, there is no reason for them to live. Ghost City is their grave, none of them an leave.â
I laughed coldly, âSo you are letting me head back to bring back news of the humans getting wiped?â
âYour Highness is so smart.â
Kong Fang became really arrogant. He raised his staff and laughed, âWho can stop Aotian Race? If you are smart you can live. If not you can prepare to be dead souls with your emperor under the hooves of our race!â
âIs that so?â
My gaze became vicious and I pulled out Chunjun Sword, âWan Er, Dong Cheng, Li Mu, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, do you think we should let him live?â
Wan Er held her Dragontooth Blade and smiled, âUp to you hubbyâ¦â
Dong Cheng Yueâs staff shone with magical light, âI also listen⦠Er, to Wan Erâs husbandâ¦â
Q-Sword pulled out his sword, âOf course not, attack!â
â¦â¦
In the next moment, light shot down from the walls. I held my sword and a shockwave spread out. I pushed aside the Aotian Race warriors and slashed toward Kong Fang.
âXiao Yao King, what do you want?â Kong Fang was shocked.
âKill you!â
While speaking, the sword stabbed into his chest. He was an official so his defence and health were average. He lost 25% health just like that, too easy!
Han Yuan laughed, âFire your arrows, kill them!â
All sorts of attack and spells flew out. A thousand Furnace God Cavalries used Bladespin and it was really majestic and dazzling.
Kong Fang wasnât able to say another word before Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han sliced off his head. This head was huge. Q-Sword held his head up from the ear and shouted, âDamn Aotian Race, we wonât bow down!â
Arrows fired and over half of the 100+ they brought were killed. The rest were low health and they wanted to leave but the God Grade players either killed them or they were hit by the Dragon Crystal Cannons. None of them survived.
Diplomacy failed, the war was going to begin!
â¦â¦
âDong dong dongâ¦â
War drums shook the sky as many giant figures appeared. Not only were there walking Aotian Race soldiers, but there were also some riding giant beasts. This was the first time we saw their cavalries. The mounts were like giant bears but they had horns and also looked like rhinos. If they attacked the walls it wouldnât be good.
I looked towards Han Yuan and said, âWhen their cavalries get close, every 10 God Dragon Cannons and 50 Dragon Crystal Cannons aim at one. Kill them. We canât let them get close to the walls. Do you understand?â
Han Yuan smiled, âDonât worry your highness!â
He was happy. Seemed like he was satisfied with my diplomacy.
Aotian Race wanted this world. If we wanted peace, we would be cursed at. Moreover, we were players and asking NPCs for peace was a huge humiliation. We couldnât do it and definitely wouldnât do it.
â¦â¦
The ground shook. After the meeting failed, the huge group of Aotian Race warriors charged. There were around 100 thousand of them. This was a crucial wave. If we didnât force them back, we would die here.
âPrepare to fight!â
I pulled out my swords and my arm actually shook. Was it fear or emotions? It was late game already and I could actually feel excited. I should really thank this race.
The giantâs defence and momentum were too strong so we couldnât let them charge. We had to send troops out to block. This was left to Autumn Harvest Army. Drunken Spear led 100 thousand people down, 20 meters from the wall. They held their shields and waited for the enemy.
Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon Cannons started to fire. Mushroom clouds exploded to rip the bodies of the Aotian Race warriors. They were scorched but that didnât stop their attacks. In the smoke, many Aotian Race cavalries charged over.
