Zhan Long Chapter 1230: Sneak attack grain

Chapter 1230: Sneak attack grain

“Rest well, leave the rest to us.”

After helping Frost up on the bed, I slapped her shoulder and smiled, “Don’t worry, Azure is injured too. He is just a frightened bird now and won’t fight back too strongly. You just need to focus on your rest, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Right when I was about to turn and leave, Frost pulled my hand.

“Is it really… Okay?” Her voice was really soft.

I smiled and pointed at my rank, there were three vines and four golden purple flowers. That was a rank above that of commander in chief, “Look, I am The Executor, the most powerful person on the continent, trust me. I will help you defend Dragon City.”

“En, be careful.” She nodded her head.

……

I turned around and didn’t turn back. There were many things outside that needed to be in charge of.

The moment I headed out, a cold wind blew into my face. Although much of the cold breeze had scattered, there was still some circling around Dragon City and that affected the combat strength of the players and the NPCs.

In the distance, the Dragon Crystal Cannons were still firing. Fang Ge Que, Q- Sword, Yan Zhao Warrior etc led a bunch of Tianling City players to kill some Demon Hall Cavalries and Spirit Umbrella Bugs. The Hybrid Demon Army didn’t stop and we still had to defend against their attacks or that would be a problem. Especially since the players’ stats were affected by the cold currents, we needed to focus our troops to deal with these Hybrid Demons. I didn’t do all that as Tian Ling City had many experts. There was also Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han.

I stepped on the snow and walked forwards. I saw many Dragon City soldiers dragging frozen corpses and sending them towards the south. At the same time, many NPCs started to move in.

“How are the losses?” I asked.

Dragonrider Captain Qing Luo held her dragon sword and said solemnly, “Sir, Azure’s attack killed a total of 4000+ people, but…”

“But what?”

“But…” Qing Luo gritted her silver teeth and said, “Not counting those that died in battle, without fully tabulating the numbers, we have over 100 thousand people who froze. Among them, over 20 thousand Dragon City soldiers had frozen and that number is still rising. This place is too cold and the bodies of mortals can’t handle it. People are freezing each second. This cold would even prevent flames from burning. The deaths can’t be controlled. Fire G.o.d Gaia’s strength is sucked dry so it is hard for us to fight against the cold.”

I looked towards the south and Heaven Barrier Army started to move in. Although they were wrapped up but the moment they entered they s.h.i.+vered. This wasn’t a good thing.

Lin Qiong walked over with his sword and he had a worried expression, “General, Dragon City is a problem. If we defend it, we will freeze to death but if we don’t, it will fall. What do we do?”

I sighed, “Choose 5000 people with strong cultivation to defend Dragon City. Those weaker ones can head down and not die here. Search for more flammable items and start a flame. Just don’t burn the city down.”

“Right!”

Lin Qiong turned around to settle the matter while I looked at Jing Yin, “You know what I want to ask, Blade Mountain… What is the situation?”

Her eyes were red and she was about to cry. She choked up, “Sir… Major Qing Pu died and Autumn Leaf is badly injured. On Blade Mountain, 27 thousand Royal Army troops died to Azure’s strike. Three G.o.d Dragon Cannons and 93 Dragon Crystal Cannons have been destroyed. Royal Army has never suffered from such losses before.”

My heart hurt, “Leave the heavy cannon unit to defend Blade Mountain and the rest of you head back south.”

“Right…”

……

At this moment, a Prague player rode his horse over and said, “Guild Leader Xiao Yao, head over to Legend’s camp, the various guild leaders are discussing. I need you to head over.”

“En.”

I returned my sword to my sheath and summoned the G.o.d Dragon Horse which I rode over. When I arrived I saw Fang Ge Que, Ye Lai, Mu Xuan etc all here. Apart from that, Rumor was here too. w.a.n.g Ze Cheng, Tyrant of West Chu and Flying Dragon was here. Although we had fought internally but in such a life and death battle everyone was quite united.

The moment I arrived, the meeting started. Fang Ge Que held his Heaven Arrogance Staff and said, “So what should we do?”

Ye Lai placed his axe on his shoulder and said, “What do you mean what should we do? We have already lost so many people so let’s just continue. I don’t believe that he can wipe us all out. I still have 50 thousand brothers down the mountain that can a.s.sist us, what is there to worry about?”

Yan Zhao Warrior said, “Agreed, I think we should swear to defend Dragon City!”

But there were still people that disagreed. w.a.n.g Ze Cheng held his spear and said, “I don’t think so. All of you see that Azure summoned a frost current to cover the entire Dragon City and this has turned into a tomb. If we stay, our stats will be reduced. With our defence down by 40%, how can we still fight? Rather than die here for nothing why not just give it up and head back to Bahuang City to defend. At most, we will just try to get Dragon City back again!”

Rage rose up in my heart and I looked at him, “w.a.n.g Ze Cheng, if you want to retreat then retreat, no one is stopping you but don’t make others retreat. Once Dragon City is occupied, with Azure, Sif there who would be able to take it back. Can you?”

Flying Dragon tried to calm things down, “Guild Leader Xiao Yao don’t be angry, we are just discussing, we haven’t made a decision yet.”

He looked towards Rumor and said, “Rumor, you are the Great Battle Axe, most of the members listen do you so what do you think we should do?”

Rumor still didn’t get off his horse and looked at us from above, “I think we shouldn’t give it up but we shouldn’t defend it too.”

Fang Ge Que said, “What do you mean, please say it.”

Rumor said, “Very simple, if we defend here we will only suffer losses for nothing. Rather than that, why not gather some troops and use the s.h.i.+ps to head to Dragonslayer Fortress. We will sneak attack their backline and maybe we can win. Look there have been examples of grain being burned.”

Liu Ying clapped, “Good idea, I didn’t expect you to think of such an idea.”

What he meant was that a fool like Rumor wouldn’t be able to think of such an idea. Rumor was obviously unhappy but he knew that Liu Ying was trying to praise him just that he wasn’t good with words. He smiled, “Guild Leaders what do you all think. We don’t need many troops just a hundred thousand. We can sneak attack through the night.”

Fang Ge Que kept silent.

Q-Sword rested on the wall and said, “Too risky, I think the people who go won’t be able to return.”

Rumor said, “If we don’t enter the lion’s den, how will we be able to capture the pup?”

Simple looked at me, “Xiao Yao, what do you think?”

“...”

I kept silent for a few seconds before saying, “Firstly, they don’t need supplies, they eat decomposed meat or absorb souls. What should we sneak attack? Burn the player corpses and bones? Even if we want to, how long will that take? We don’t even have items to burn with so that is a problem.”

Rumor was annoyed, “So you don’t have a plan at all. Apart from this, what suggestions do you have? Say it or shut up.”

His att.i.tude was bad and Ye Lai was furious because of it, “Rumor if you don’t know how to talk then shut up. Don’t forget that we have been using Xiao Yao’s strategy from the start and not yours.”

Rumor was even more furious but Fang Ge Que stopped him with his gaze.

Fang Ge Que’s power had been his greatest strength. He played both sides. He smiled, “Xiao Yao tell me your thoughts?”

I nodded, “Normally speaking they don’t need grain and they will just eat where they go so we can’t burn their grain. However, we can stop their resources. All of you know that a large portion of them was summoned from h.e.l.l and each h.e.l.l entrance has monks. As long as we kill them we can break their tunnels. Apart from that, Azure opened a tunnel to summon the frost current. We can break that entrance too. I support sneak attacks but not to burn their grain. I support attacking the entrances.”

Ye Lai held his axe and said, “No need to say anything, Judgement is willing!”

I nodded, “I will go with you!”

Fang Ge Que shook his head, “No, Dragon City is still the focus and you are the highest ranked in the army system. You need to be here, send someone else.”

I looked at everyone, “Who is willing?”

Prague’s Yan Zhao Warrior stood up and smiled, “If I don’t go then who will? Prague’s 40 thousand are willing to sneak attack.”

Ye Lai said, “Add the 50 thousand Judgement members!”

Misty Clouds smiled, “Enemies by the Gate can send 30 thousand so that is 120 thousand people.”

Not far away, Demon Mountain held his Fire G.o.d Spear and walked over. He was calm, “The path from the east ocean is dangerous, I know the way so I can bring all of you there.”

Fang Ge Que smiled, “Is Demon Mountain really willing to help?”

Demon Mountain looked pained, “The Dragonslayer Stronghold that I have spent so much effort to build is being destroyed in this battle. If I don’t take revenge, I can’t gain a footing in Nine Heavens City.

“Good!”
