Fight for Survival

The sky overhead was still covered with dark clouds, but at noon, the scorching sunlight still pierced through the clouds, scattering golden rays across the grassland.

And it is precisely at midday, when the sun is at its hottest, that the key reason why Dark Creatures retreat is.

As for how dark clouds form in the sky?

In fact, just by sensing the Dark Magic above, one would know that forming such a massive black cloud was something no ordinary Black Warlock could accomplish.

Or rather, it was created by some powerful Demon.

The Dark Invasion follows the same pattern across all nine continents: using dark clouds to block out the sunlight, employing endless Dark Creatures as cannon fodder, to conquer one Human Duchy after another, Sweep all life.

Many Player and native residents actually want to ask: Where are the strongest individuals on the continent?

Where are they?

Why doesn't it appear?

Those people could easily destroy the Dark Army, or even if they didn't want to, they could clear away the dark clouds overhead.

Give them enough time to catch their breath...

But William really didn't want to tell them the truth.

The Dark Invasion is not just a game for Gods and Demons.

It is the day that all the strongest have been waiting for.

Only the Sacrifice of life can revive the World of Gods.

Only when blood flows like a river can the boundless Mana be made to intensify once more.

Only through countless deaths can the Spatial Barrier be weakened.

The arrival of the Fourth Era.

Gods and Demons want to descend.

The strong want to become even stronger.

All ambitious beings aspire to make their race the protagonist of the Fourth Era.

then.

The sacrifice of a minority seems inevitable...

Because in the eyes of those Transcendent, they were acting for a greater cause, to usher in the Fourth Era.

If they were to truly become the protagonists of the Fourth Era, they would enjoy Fortune for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

In that case, isn't the sacrifice of a few people well worth it?

not to mention.

The places Dark Invasion are only some remote, small areas on the continent.

Even if a place has limited resources and a small population, and even if it has a few geniuses, what does that amount to in the heart of a truly prosperous continent?

Ultimately.

If they are not strong enough, they can only become pawns, manipulated by others.

As for the Dawn City, it has two Archmage Moxis and Old Bander.

But would Moxis dare to make a move?

He's the guy who's known as Divine Betrayer.

William even knew that if this guy really went on a rampage, someone would definitely come to kill him.

But what about Old Bander?

William had wanted to ask him, but he had already left to fight in the war in Moonlight Forest...

That was a war far more terrifying and bloodier than the invasion of the Southeastern Corner by Dark Invasion...

That was a war led by Saint...

During the brief rest, Dawn City began its official troop rotation.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of Player helping to defend the city, the 36,000 Regular Army do not need to all be at the front; at least half of them are resting.

Twelve hours of continuous defense would be exhausting even for Intermediate-Class Professional.

This has nothing to do with Battle Aura Value that can be slowly recovered, but rather with hidden Mental Strength!

Meanwhile, Xiyan also flew towards the Winged Folk. If nothing unexpected happens, the Winged Folk's Legion will also come to Dawn City to help with the defense in the upcoming battle.

Because the Southeastern Corner of Blackleaf Forest, with Dawn City, the Orc Tribe of Altai, and many former Dragon tribes, can be called the first line of defense.

The Winged Folk lives deep within the forest, but if Dawn City falls, even if they have time to retreat, they will lose their homeland.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the various tribes in the Southeastern Corner are all ambitious individuals!

They didn't want to be devoured by the Dark Creatures, and no one wanted to be a perpetual runner-up, constantly living in fear as the Vanguard for the Dark Creatures. So now, it was inevitable that they would fight back against the Dark Creatures.

William stood at the edge of the city wall, glancing at the corpses piled high with Dark Creatures below. He said in a deep voice, "Legolas, use my Space Ring to move all the corpses below back into the city. Burn anything that can't be moved to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from the Dark World."

Legolas nodded, picked up William's Ring, and flew down the cliff. No one knew exactly how many Dark Creatures there were, but in just 12 hours of attack, their corpses had already piled up to 10 meters high. If they continued to pile up like this, the advantage of the cliff would be lost.

As for the corpses of Dark Creatures, they are naturally useful; their bodies can be transformed into all sorts of materials—the possibilities are endless.

Last night's main attack force consisted of several types: Skeleton Soldier, a few Dark Knight (the kind without horses), Corpse Fiend, Demon Hound, and even the ' Dark Giant Lizard ' known as the Player killer.

The Dark Giant Lizard is a reptile from the Dark World, with a terrifying appearance; its head has no flesh, only an exposed skull.

Their tongues are very long, easily snatching away Professional and swallowing them whole. They are also incredibly agile, crawling faster than any other Dark Creatures, making them one of the most difficult creatures to defend against in defensive battles.

Of course, this only applies to Dawn City.

In fact, the Corpse Fiend, which are tall and pieced together from various corpses, are often more lethal. They are similar to Troll and have great destructive power, making them more likely to cause unparalleled impact on city gates.

But unfortunately,

They couldn't see the city walls, only sheer cliffs, and climbing them was extremely difficult...

"Let Fiu Lesse lead 6,000 Minotaur to join the war," William continued to issue orders. In the past six months, the Minotaur Tribe had also gathered many small and medium-sized Minotaur Tribe on the grasslands.

It has now become a tribe with 20,000 members.

Therefore, 6,000 Minotaur Warrior are not a large number, and they are no longer considered part of the Regular Army.

"Yes, sir." Nock nodded, waving for the Messenger to go and deliver the message. He didn't use Sound Transmission Scroll because he was afraid this coward would pretend he didn't see it...

William hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice again, "Have the Bloody Bonecrusher lead the Troll to prepare for battle."

"Yes, sir!"

"I've already inquired; the offensive facing the Blackrock Duchy isn't too intense. If nothing unexpected happens, Dawn City will be the main target of the Dark Creatures. Next, get all 2,000 Catapult assembled!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Prepare 800 Heavy Crossbow Bolt. Tell the Archer to aim at the Mid-Class Dark Creature and fire. Stop shooting around!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Commit the entire [Wavebreaker Legion] to battle; halt the Dawnship Warship's operations."

"Yes, sir."

"Send the [Blade Cavalry Regiment] where they're supposed to be, and tell them that a great battle may be waiting for them."

"Yes..." Nock gave the order to the Messenger again.

"The Temple of Light..."

"My lord, they have arrived. Including the Chosen Ones, there are a total of 1,300 Temple Knight and 1,000 Priest. Not only them, the Dark Temple has also sent 1,500 Professional."

William nodded, glancing at Chu Liuqiu, who was still online and resting, and the other Player. He said directly, "The task of organizing the Chosen Ones is entrusted to you. The Low-Class Chosen Ones can defend areas with fewer Dark Creatures, while the mid-level Chosen Ones can go to the most intense battle areas."

"Yes, sir." Chu Liuqiu replied in a deep voice. He felt that the real battle was about to begin, and yesterday's seemingly chaotic war was just an appetizer.

"Well then, let's all have a meal and rest." William didn't leave the city walls or the battlefield; his home was on the edge of the city walls, and his City Lord's Manor was right next to the cliff!

He is a lord.

He is the first line of defense.

If Dawn City falls, his home will be the first place to fall.

Two hours gradually passed.

The sunlight disappeared from the earth once again.

The sky was completely dark.

An endless array of Dark Creatures reappeared from the grassland.

This time, however, the Dark Creatures that appeared were more numerous and ferocious.

There are tens of thousands of Mid-Class Dark Creature!

These are several meters long, Dark Giant Lizard covered in hard Scale, with black smoke billowing from their mouths; there are thousands of them.

Tens of thousands of Undead.

Dark Knight riding Skeleton warhorse.

Zombie covered in black markings.

The Goat-Head Fiend is also a very common type of Dark Creatures, standing two to three meters tall and possessing formidable strength.

There are countless Dark Creatures of all kinds.

Estimated at 300,000...

The ones overseeing the battle are Demon, and there are quite a few Demon of Low-Class- level to High-Class.

When everyone witnessed the second wave of the Dark Invasion, a chilling sense of despair filled their hearts.

William didn't rest, nor did he have time to rest.

He simply stood on the city wall, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

when.

The instant that 2,000 Catapult unleashed a shower of meteors and fire.

Another defensive battle has officially begun.

But it was at this moment...

A thunderous roar echoed from afar, signaling Xiyan's return. At the same time, a full 12,000-strong Winged Folk Legion arrived!

They were clad in silver armor and had wings on their backs, resembling Angel Legion.

The Winged Folk is not afraid to fight to the death.

They only wanted to see the Sky City they had never seen before they died.

But when faced with a real war of annihilation, they never feared battle!

And then...

Annie, also dressed in a gleaming silver armor, led 3,000 Personal Guard to join the battle!

At this very moment.

The number of Pure-Blood Elf participating in the battle has reached 35,000, with only a few Elf left behind.

William turned around and looked at Annie eyes were streaked with tears.

He understood.

Annie seemed to already know some information, or rather, she couldn't be kept in the dark about Old Bander's departure.

Her brother, now the Moonlight Elf King Kronos, has transformed into the God of Death of Darkness, igniting a war of rebellion in the Moonlight Forest!

Meanwhile, all the Moonlight Elf of the Moonlight Forest are engaged in a fierce and bloody battle.

Living in the Dark Forest, they had no reason to refuse war.

William sighed and turned to gaze at the endless Dark Army.

The blade points forward.

Just like last night.

He shouted.

"For survival, fight alongside me!"

"For survival, humanity must fight!" all the humans in the city shouted.

"For survival, the Winged Folk shall fight!" Xiyan shouted in unison, leading the Winged Folk army.

"For survival, the Elf shall fight!" Annie drew her longsword and roared.

"To survive, fight!"

I'm asking for Monthly Ticket, Recommendation Ticket, subscriptions, and donations—anything goes, hehehe.
