Chapter 208 - The Strange Group Of Nine

There were huge differences between the Seraphkin and the Angels.

The most important one was that the Seraphkin did not have the holy light of the Angels.

When Xiyan and William flew back together, the players were dazed.

When they were nearing the City of Dawn, Prince William decided to fly back on his own.

Even though he had depleted his battle energy, it was important to uphold his image.

“Gosh, let’s use our insights. It’s an Angel!”

“She’s a Combat Angel with long slender legs…”

“She’s Miss Xiyan. Isn’t she from the Seraphkin? Has she become an Angel?”

“Xiyan and Prince William must be having an affair,” someone said in a deep voice.

Some female players were speechless when they heard the words.

They did not want to look at Xiyan and started cursing her in their hearts. Many female players looked at William with an aching heart with a fear that his handsome face would be tarnished.

When William landed on the ramparts, he disregarded his bleeding wounds and said in a solemn tone, “The enemy has more than 200,000 creatures, and they are still amassing their soldiers. There are at least tens of thousands of Intermediate creatures. All the chosen ones, please put in all your efforts to protect the City of Dawn.”

“Don’t worry, Prince William. We’ll kill all dark creatures when they come.”

“That’s right. Prince William allowed us to stay here, so this is our home. Whoever flees is a coward!” A Human player by the name of Vitality Maiden Guo Degang raised his weapon and shouted.

The other players also started shouting, “Let’s do it. Why are we talking crap?”

“We’re not afraid to die. The rewards are generous. Prince William had loaned the Epic equipment to the professionals and allowed us Chinese players to clinch the championship. If you want to flee, do it early. Otherwise, the Group of Nine will kill you every time we see you.” Common Family Ma Huateng roared.

William deeply gazed at the Group of Nine. He could not figure out how these strange players could come together…

The nine of them had plagiarized historical names, and they changed them into something different.

For example, the names had become Money-phobic Ma Yun, Vitality Maiden Guo Degang, Cute Girl Li Ronghao, Common Family Ma Huateng, Iron Bone Wang Zejing, Peking University’s Benny Sa, Sweet Wife Yue Yunpeng, Overbearing President Li Shangyin and Unappreciative Of Wife Liu Dongqiang…

Tsk, tsk!

The names were awesome!

But William did not bother with their names. As long as they could assist him, it was good.

William admiringly looked at Common Family Ma Huateng so that his affinity points would be covertly increased.

“Ding! William Blackleaf’s affinity for you has increased by 10 points.”

Ma Huateng was overjoyed.

He knew that Prince William’s affinity points were very precious.

Till now, only Changli Jiuge, who was good at fawning, obtained 143 affinity points.

If Ma Huateng were to help in defense of the city, he would be able to gain considerable affinity points. It would help him greatly in the future.

Just take a look at how good Changli Jiuge was after fawning on the prince!

Of course, provided the prince did not perish in the war!

William also upgraded a few players who supported him.

William did not have to do anything to boost the morale of the players. They were busy getting their friends to go online and assist in defending the City of Dawn.

The City of Dawn had geographical superiority.

But the frontline stretched to a length of 13,000 meters.

The longer the frontline, the more resources that had to be allocated to defend it.

As such, the soldiers might not have any resting time.

If tens of thousands of players joined in defending the city, it would provide valuable time for the NPCs to rest and recuperate.

The crystal in the city lord’s palace emitted a bright light. It illuminated the entire city and the vile creatures that gathered at the base of the cliff.

Fatty was standing at a high vantage point to do his live broadcast. A few novices and the defeated foreign players were watching the live broadcast.

Fatty’s live broadcast was put on the front page of the official website to garner interest!

It was because the battle at the City of Dawn was awe-inspiring.

10,000 orderly shield-bearers lined the edges of the cliff. Among them, 6,000 were Intermediate professionals with Silver equipment sets and Gold-quality weapons.

The high quality of the equipment made the foreign players gape in disbelief!

This was the true capability of the City of Dawn, and it was only a small portion.

William had constructed the half-meter thick city walls to prevent the defenders from falling over. When the dark creatures appeared, the defenders could use their shields to bash them over the walls.

And behind these shield-bearers, there were warriors armed with sabers and spears!

If the dark creatures did not get successfully bashed by the shield-bearers, the warriors would do the job. They would throw their spears to send the vile creatures over the walls!

That was right.

The defenders of the City of Dawn did not intend to kill the invaders.

They only wanted to send them over the walls.

Because of the strategic height of the city, once the dark creatures fell from the cliff, they would fall to their demises.

Initially, the city only had 500 catapults, but William had an additional 600 catapults built.

With all the 1,100 catapults continuously tossing huge rocks, it felt as if a meteor shower passed in the dark sky. The flaming rocks would crush the dark creatures and cause massive damage. However, the flaming rocks were not able to cause fear in the dark creatures.

The heavy-duty crossbows were not deployed at the ramparts. Instead, they were deployed at the arrow slots built in the middle of the cliff.

It did not require much aiming as the crossbows could just fire down at the dark creatures.

The soldiers heard shrill noises piercing the air as the enchanted arrows shot towards the ground and impaled numerous dark creatures.

The high vantage point negated the advantages of the crossbows. Fortunately, the dark creatures were densely packed, and the arrows were able to penetrate numerous creatures in one shot…

There were even more archers.

The rangers who hid behind the arrow slots rained the arrows down on the creatures.

The regular professionals who were on top of the cliff also fired their arrows.

Rangers and warriors had the ability to fire arrows. But if a mage had enough strength, he could also do the same.

Unfortunately, the mages did not have the appropriate skills.

The City of Dawn had 200,000 professionals!

While the regular army consisted of 36,000 soldiers!

Many commoners also picked up their bows from their homes or the military warehouses. They started shooting arrows at the dark creatures below.

As long as they activated their battle energy!

The arrows would inflict damages.

Many people were curious.

How many resources had the City of Dawn prepared for this war?

When tens of thousands of archers fired their arrows, countless arrows were used. It could be considered wasteful…

William would like to give his explanation.

It was not much. It was only 30 million arrows. Many people in the city were still making arrows.

There were only 300,000 sets of spare parts for the bows.

But how did William get the resources?

This was due to his tour of the archipelago continent. There he had obtained all that he required…

The defenders of the city fought from twelve midnight until noon on the second day!

The dark creatures finally retreated!

But it was not the end of the war.

It happened because the afternoon sun was too strong, and the dark creatures were afraid of the sun penetrating the dark clouds.

It was a short resting period.

The defenders only had two hours of relief.

After these two hours, the dark creatures launched their attacks again.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Darkness invasion…

It would relentlessly go on.

It would only stop when the darkness returned to the abyss.

Or when all lives were terminated.

The City of Dawn that was perched on top of the cliff had beautifully survived the first battle
