Chapter 571 The Power of the Strongest Sword Saint

Behind Luo Lei, the commander of Desolate Dragon and known as the strongest general in Ba Huang City, Forgotten Sea gripped his sword. He quietly stood behind his king. When he saw Luo Lei hike up onto the city, he roared, “Fierce Tiger Army, force everyone over. Do not reserve any of your power. Let’s show these Northern Hybrid Demons the true strength of Ba Huang City’s warriors!”

South of the city, an enormous army of cavalry rushed over, followed by foot soldiers, archers and other soldiers. It took all the way until the 18th wave for Ba Huang City’s royalty to finally decide to bring out the true guns.

……

Luo Lei raised Despair and slowly walked over to the observation deck. Very soon, three of the Dragonmen charged right towards him. They seemed to have realized that he was an important figure. Luo Lei didn’t seem worried at all. He unsheathed his sword and Despair’s light dazzled across the field. Fierce flames of power rose off of the blade, forcing the three Dragonmen to retreat. They didn’t even dare to come forward. They all covered their eyes and screeched, “Ah, what is this weapon? I’ve been blinded…..”

Forgotten Sea roared and slashed apart the Dragonmen. He stood before Luo Lei and said, “Young knights, guard the city!”

After the Fierce Tiger Army’s commander Rocklin was killed by Chi Yu Han, the command of this army fell upon Forgotten Sea. Either way, this army wasn’t the one that he had personally trained, so Forgotten Sea didn’t care for them too much. He merely sent a large number of cavalry forward to block the area. The archers and crossbow carts followed behind, strengthening the defense machines of the city.

Luo Lin stood there, stupefied. The sword in his hand had already been burned red hot from all of the power he channeled into it as he said, “Father, Despair….”

“What is it, Lin Er?” Luo Lei asked.

Luo Lin lowered his voice, “Father, the Hybrid Demons have been charging at my formation one after another. Each wave is filled with strong monsters that are lead by a terrifying general. It is something that our normal soldiers have no way to hold off against. And so…. I ask that Father please allow me to use Despair. With Despair, I will be able to completely eradicate them. Otherwise, I won’t be able to fight against such strong Hybrid Demons. If Lin Han were to come, then I don’t even have a sliver of a chance at victory. At that point Dragon City will be lost…”

Luo Lei let out a long sigh and turned to his son, “Despair has already been deemed a godly weapon of the state, and represents the power of Ba Huang City’s Empire. Right now, it is not time for you to rise to the throne, do you understand?”

Luo Lei was stunned, “Father, this is just a weapon. I… I just want to protect my people. I…Never have I thought of usurping your power!”

“Alright….”

Luo Lei seemed to be a bit annoyed as he said, “That is enough! Lin Er, take your men to the city to rest. Leave the situation to me right now. Your father’s sword has not grown rusty yet. Besides, I’m wielding Despair. I will not shame Ba Huang City.”

“Al…alright then…”

Luo Lin’s face was pained. He looked to the people of Dragon City and said, “Frost, Su Ke, Da Lin, follow me into the city. We need to rest and repair our equipments. Everyone must be tired…”

Frost raised her Severing Beauty, “My Lord? We… we cannot give up our defense. Dragon City is our home…”

“Say no more. Follow my orders!”

“Alright…. Yes, my lord!”

……

A large number of Dragon City’s NPC army all retreated, leaving the Ba Huang City Fierce Tiger Army to defend. There were around 50,000 NPC soldiers there. That was enough for the Hybrid Demons to deal with.

The player camp remained as they were. There was no reason for us to retreat. Besides, everyone was waiting for the 18th wave BOSS!

“Ka Cha…”

My Dragon Reservoir Sword cut through the head of one Dragonman. Then, with a sweep, I cut through the throat of another Dragonman with my Zhen Yue Sword. Once I was used to the attributes of the monsters, soloing two of them wasn’t too much of a problem. The 1500 players from [Zhan Long] were now my most precious treasure, and I needed to protect them.

These two short hours seemed more like a long and everlasting torture.

Finally, there were no more Dragonmen climbing up from the wall. All around us there were Bloody Tear Dragonmen, NPC, and player bodies. The blood formed rivers that flowed off the sides. Equipment, cards and the like all lay scattered around. Everyone did a quick sweep of the battlefield. Right at that moment, a bone chilling screech sounded out from the distance….

“The BOSS is coming….” Wan Er’s beautiful eyes looked into the distance and said, “The seventeenth wave BOSS was enough to injure Luo Lin. This 18th wave BOSS, who knows if Luo Lei will be able to hold him off?”

I smiled reassuringly to her, “I don’t know, but let’s see. Most likely, the players won’t be able to fight this BOSS. We’ll act as the opportunity comes up… “

“Yes!”
