Zhan Long
chapter-1218

"Shields at the front and archers at the back."

On the walls, Li Mu shouted at the Zhan Long players while teaching them battle tactics, "Cavalries raise your shields higher to your neck. Don't affect the Archer's vision and you can also reduce 25% damage. Mages toss your skills and use the faction mode, don't hurt those outside of the city!"

...

Cannons continued to fire but only the Changfeng Army and Fire Rhino Army's 100+ cannons were firing. Their firepower was far from enough and there were unable to stop the Hybrid Demon attacks. Especially the Spirit Flower Bugs that had destroyed over 20 cannons. If this continued, we wouldn't have any cannons to aid us.

The Nine Heavens City NPC army was in the crowd and a female general stood there. She was the general of the 150 thousand strong Dragon Beard Army, Aiqin, who was the only female general in Nine Heavens City. Of course, Tian Ling City was the same, there were very few that could get to that position. War was a game for guys.

Beside her, the dragon crystal cannons were loaded. But Aiqin didn't order them to shout. She rested on the stone behind her, her face was filled with pain. Anyone in her position would feel pain and unsettled.

Shao Shiyang rode his horse over and looked down at Aiqin, "General Aiqin, if you don't order the Dragon Beard Army to fire, the Hybrid Demon Army will destroy the west wall soon!"

Aiqin looked at Shao Shiyang and said calmly, "I know what I am doing, I don't need outsiders to speak."

Shao Shiyang laughed coldly, "I led 100 thousand troops from Fire Rhino Army to help. Nine Heavens City and Tian Ling City are tied together so do you still treat me as an outsider? Order them to fire the Dragon Crystal Cannons. Once Dragonslayer Fortress falls, the hundred thousand of my Fire Rhino Army will end up buried with you!"

Aiqin bit her lips and she was bleeding. Demon Mountain was outside and now she had the highest rank.

Not far away, a Nine Heavens City Commander in chief rode over. Ice Shield Army General Xu Ying. In the Nine Heavens City, the three most powerful people were Xu Ying, Aiqin and Demon Mountain. Two of them were here now. Xu Ying held his bloodied sword and his robe was covered in arrow holes. He wiped off the blood on his face and said, "General Aiqin, no need to hesitate. Fire the cannons, the Marshal has ordered us!"

Demon Mountain was Nine Heavens City's Marshal and the command that Xu Ying got came from Demon Mountain.

"Okay!"

Aiqin clenched his fist and stood up, "Then fire. Order the shield soldiers to guard at the gate, don't let the Hybrid Demon troops break the wall down!"

Xu Ying said, "Those annoying bugs are exploding to destroy the roots of our wall. Scoff, the stone from the mountains isn't strong enough. If Dragonslayer Fortress is lost, I will kill the officials from the ministry of manpower."

Aiqin kept silent and looked at the firing cannons.

...

Dragon Crystal Cannons were the trump card of the humans against the Hybrid Demons. Once the Dragon Crystal Cannons couldn't succeed then who knew what the humans could rely on. Gods? It was obvious that Gaia wasn't the match for any of the lords. Even Dragon City's Frost was not the match for so many of them.

After Sif, Pearl and Yin Huo, two more lords appeared.

God Slaying Zither Qin Ge, Devourer Sett. Luckily Qin Ge was just watching and didn't attack. If not, if she used her tunes, I am not sure how many blows the Dragonslayer Fortress could take. I felt that three hits would be too much.

The plan was to control the distance between Qin Ge and the city. Qin Ge placed huge importance on distance and she wouldn't be effective over 500 meters. But the Dragon Crystal Cannons had a 1000 meter distance. If one used Dragon Crystal Cannons, one might be able to reduce the threat of Qin Ge towards the city.

"Kong kong..."

Rumbling shouts spread from the ground. The heavy cavalry from Nine Heavens City was fighting with the Lamp Zombies and monsters. They waved their blades to kill the Lamp Zombies and blood covered them. These people should be the elites of the entire Nine Heavens City but from afar, I saw many quasi boss tier cavalry, no wonder their combat strength was so weak.

But, the shouts from the ground grew louder and louder and suddenly a hundred meter long crack appeared on the ground. Hundreds of cavalries cried out as they fell from that crack. The thunderous shouts from below grew clearer and clearer. A black figure surged up from underground. It was a giant beast that opened his mouth and swallowed the hundreds of cavalries, dirt and stone!

When the cavalries entered the mouth of the giant beast, they were shredded into pieces by the spiraling energy. They were killed before they could even cry. Finally, this prehistoric beast appeared-- Devourer Sett!

Actually, I felt like the model of this beast had to be Godzilla. Its giant body climbed from underground and its body was half bigger than the stronghold. If it charged at the wall, how should we block him?

...

"Oh my god!"

Shao Shiyang hollered in rage, "This... What is that?"

Baili Ning scoffed, "Finished... This giant beast, it... Is a level 10 giant beast, the strongest kind, at the top of the food chain... We can't stop him today!"

Shao Shiyang shouted in rage, "Old man Baili, don't mess up the hearts of the troops!"

Baili Ning laughed coldly and raised his arm, "Dragon Crystal Cannons on the right, aim at sett. Once he enters range fire. Get more cold water to cool the barrel. I don't have to teach you all that right, quickly!"

Changfeng Army's troops got really busy.

...

Counting it, there were 5 lords here. Who knew whether or not Azure would attack. Once Azure appeared, that should be the final attack of the Hybrid Demon Army right?

Thinking about that, my heart shook. Dragonslayer Fortress was about to be lost. I wasn't a pessimistic person but I understood that Dragonslayer Fortress was not good for defence. Dragonslayer Fortress was connected to plains but Dragon City was different. Dragon City was standing on a steep mountain peak so Sett would not be able to attack the walls directly. The Ice Ridge Mountain was strong so Sett might not be able to break through the stone. To build the Dragonslayer Fortress really was dumb, this was the reason why Frost and I felt that Dragonslayer Fortress was in the wrong place.

Hybrid Demons weren't humans so we couldn't use normal tactics against them. Building on plains wasn't a smart choice, especially in the Hybrid Demon Territory. Nine Heavens City had close to a million troops here so it was similar to them just feeding the tiger.

"Kong kong..."

Sett rested on the plains and waved his claws to pounce at the crowd. He acted as the vanguard of Hybrid Demon Territory. He was just 1200 meters from the Dragonslayer Fortress so we had to disturb him. Others couldn't so I was the only suitable one.

"Peng!"

Energy surged beneath my feet. After waving to Wan Er, Li Mu and the others, I charged over. Time to delay some time. Let's hope the event had a time limit and that they would retreat once they failed to take it down.

Holy Domain Strength surged around my swords and I charged towards Sett like a meteor.

On the ground, Demon Mountain, Sky Rose, Seven Feather etc commanded the army to attack Sett. They treated Sett as a Lord Tier Boss and wanted to fight for it. But Sett was just too large and each claw would be able to smash a group of people into meat paste!

"Kong!"

It opened his mouth and used a spiral suction power towards the crowd like a giant vacuum cleaner. The stone, dirt and plants on the ground were sucked in too. Even people and their horses were sucked over. Sett's mouth formed a spiral storm that sliced up things that entered, like a shredder in the mouth of a vacuum cleaner. So people who wanted to enter and slice him up from within could just forget about it as they would get destroyed.

"Weng!"

I waved my swords and hit Sett's right eye. Damage numbers rose up and I used Wind Carrying Slash. The sword energy slashed past Sett's shell and blood splattered. This prehistoric beast raised his head to look at me and his eyes were filled with rage.

"Come on grandson!" I was nervous but didn't forget to provoke him.

"Kong!"

Sett didn't know how to speak. It just obtained his mouth and activated his suction. Did he want to suck me in too?

A powerful suction force locked onto me and attracted me towards his direction. I tried to struggle to go against the suction force. This made an amusing sight, the giant beast was sucking the air and I was like a fly struggling. My strength wasn't weak so I wasn't sucked in like the others. However, I wasn't able to struggle free and just ended up in such limbo.

At that moment, a familiar silver light shone behind me. It was Crescent Moon Storm!

"Peng!"

A giant crescent moon landed on Sett's head. Lin Wan Er was in mid air and she waved Dragontooth Blade to stab into the beast's body. She also used City Shaking Dance!

Success!

I broke free and then retreated. I said loudly, "Wan Er leave, we can't beat him!"
