Chapter 341 Great Victory And Windfall
This was a one-sided war.
The Lord of Dawn was in the lead as his side engaged the Darkness Army.
He leaped from his warhorse.
At that moment, the sky darkened.
Everyone looked up at the Thunder-God-like Half-Elf…
Two electric beams shot out from his eyes, sweeping across the battlefield that spanned hundreds of meters.
Skeleton soldiers, dark lizards, hell hounds, and darkness soldiers, all turned into ash.
Thereafter, he turned into a thunderbolt and crash-landed on the ground.
Pitter-patter!
Numerous bolts of lightning emanated from his body and destroyed any monsters that were in a 100-meter radius.
Many Legendary BOSSES of the City of Dawn also charged into the stronghold of the dark creatures.
The dark creatures were neither able to dodge the attacks nor flee from the battlefield.
They could only guard the Devil's Den as they were not allowed to return to the Dark World.
They had to wait for the second Darkness Invasion before they could receive a large number of reinforcements.
Although, Devil's Dens had rapidly expanded in the past few years, allowing many Grandmaster devils to take control of the situation.
It was a vicious battle using brute force and wiles.
Except for a few devils, all of the dark underlings were too weak.
They did not have the ability to withstand the direct attacks of the powerful Dawn Army.
When Light and Darkness collided, the dark creatures fell on the bloody battlefield like the retreating tide.
Under the leadership of many BOSS legion commanders, the Dawn Army dominated the center of the battlefield.
The 3,000-strong griffin legion was composed of Elven archers.
They were the best archers in the sky.
Since these powerful archers were not met with any resistance, they dominated the sky as if they were cannons.
Each Elf was able to inflict massive damage.
The Dawn Army were superior in their levels, equipment, bloodlines, and mounts.
The dark creatures had relied on superior quantities to gain the upper hand. But, the numbers were not sufficient, and there weren't enough devils to support them.
So they had to retreat.
This was why William did not use real cannons.
Several Grandmaster devils were infuriated when they witnessed the scene.
They decided to form a siege on William, and then, the latter also discovered them.
William transformed into the body of Thunder Sage and passed through the dark creatures without hindrance. He inflicted thunder damage while he traveled at supersonic speed.
Within a few seconds, the Lord of Dawn had arrived before the three Grandmaster devils.
Thunder Slash!
William did not speak a word.
A hundred-meter long lightning bolt jolted down, creating numerous cracks underneath the enemies' feet.
And the devil who had been targeted by Thunder Slash felt a stinging pain on the skin.
"Kill him!" the Grandmaster devil growled. He raised the weapon in his hand to stop Thunder Slash, while the other two devils charged towards William at the same time.
But William was faster.
As a ranger, his agility and attack speed were comparable to an assassin during close-combat.
With a near-impossible pace, he easily dodged the clumsy attacks of the two devils. Then, the Thunder Slash shattered the weapon of the devil he targeted, and landed on his neck.
Poof!
Green blood spattered in the air.
Without giving the enemy any chance to retaliate, William's left fist smashed on the devil's head.
The devil had to tilt his head back, but the impact distorted his head, making it explode.
The headless devil collapsed to the ground.
With just two blows, Prince William had killed a Grandmaster devil.
The Disposition of a Sage did not mean an upgrade of the bloodline.
It was his endowments that allowed him to attain the invincibility of a legendary bloodline.
This scene was captured by Angry Fatty, a full-time broadcaster. The audience gaped in astonishment.
A barrage of comments came praising William as the reincarnation of Thunder God.
"Gosh! Have you seen the electrifying eyes of Prince William? I feel he must have watched episode 233 of the X-Men."
"True laser-beam eyes!"
"Who is that Phoenix? The little angel?"
"Garbage! The Phoenix in episode 233 is trash, and there are too many defects."
The NPCs on the battlefield were ferocious and unstoppable.
The players in game version 3.0 were also enthusiastic. They were thrilled to fight against the fearless dark creatures.
"Charge! For his Royal Highness."
"Charge! For the City of Dawn!"
"Charge! Prince William will sleep with me."
"…"
The Dawn Army was fighting against the strongest dark creatures on the front while the players on both sides took to the flanks. Hundreds of thousands of players acted like locusts migrating across a border, and swamped the dark creatures. Each dark creature had been surrounded and attacked by three to five players.
Once they killed a dark creature, they hurried to their next target.
No matter how many injuries were inflicted on them, and even if they faced Advanced devils, they would seize the opportunity to slash twice at the devils.
The intelligent devils felt that the behavior of the players was extremely perverted.
"Nutcases! Are they insane?" An Advanced devil's legion had been destroyed. He helplessly gaped at the millions of players, who kept reviving.
After these Intermediate chosen ones killed the common dark creatures, they started eyeing him!
"D*mn! I'm an Advanced devil. How dare you touch me!" The devil raised his greatsword and started slashing.
But then, Legolas fired a lethal arrow at him!
A trailing emerald ray lit up the sky, penetrating the devil's chest. It left a gaping hole and inflicted a grievous wound on the demon.
Numerous players widened their eyes with joy. They anxiously salivated. "Charge! It's time to kill the Advanced devil!"
"Insolent fools! D*mn locusts! Ahhh!" He wanted to take flight, but had been rendered incapable of doing so. The arrow had penetrated his chest and clipped the roots of his wings.
Would the players care about the attacks of the wounded devil?
No…
The devil released several area-effect spells before he had been overwhelmed by the sea of zombie-like players.
"Stab his eyes! That's his weakness!!"
"Gosh, I have grabbed the viscera in his chest. I'm pulling it out."
"MD! It's bloody, but I like it. Let me stomp on his testicles."
The words of the players were like the low whispers of the terrifying creatures from the Dark World.
The Advanced devil struggled in fear, but his breath started getting weaker.
He felt that every part of his body was under attack.
The devil closed his eyes in despair as time passed.
He dared not look at the chosen ones, who seemed to be monsters from another terrifying world.
These horrible monsters' Human, Seraphkin, and Elven appearances must be disguises…
The players wildly cheered as the Advanced devil collapsed to the ground.
"I killed him! I drew the last blood from him!"
"Hahaha, I stole his helmet!"
"I took his treasured greatsword that had Dark attributes. Gosh! It's an Epic weapon."
"MD, I thought I had grabbed a piece of equipment. It turned out to be his guts…"
"Don't throw away the intestines. Obtain some demon blood, and make blood sausages."
"That's right! It might be a delicacy…"
"Gosh! I'm going after the corpse. Slow down, all of you! Leave some for me."
The players were exhilarated after killing the first Advanced devil. In just ten seconds, the devil's corpse had been cut into pieces. Not even a strand of hair was left.
Many Advanced and Grandmaster devils gaped in astonishment at this scene.
A chill appeared in their hearts. Some little devils who had just graduated and wanted to accomplish some achievements had been intimidated. They peed on the spot. They wanted to go home because the large continent was too dangerous for them.
"What shall we do? Do we stay here?" A Grandmaster demon could not resist asking.
"The Lord of Dawn is too powerful. We can only hope for the second Darkness Invasion to kill him. We have to retreat now."
An Advanced devil nodded in fear. "Although we may die when we go back, it's better than letting these horrible chosen ones cannibalize our corpses. If we die here, our corpses would be eaten by these monsters!"
"Alas! You've spoken what is in our hearts. Even if we die, we shall be buried in our hometown. Let's withdraw and let our imbecile subordinates cover our retreat!"
"Let's retreat! I hope that after returning home, before the Dark Lord kills us, I can eat a lizard pie made by my grandmother. I loved it as a kid."
"You also like to eat lizard pie?"
"Well, the more rotten the dark lizards, the more fragrant they are."
"That's what I think too."
Some of the devils had started retreating.
Without the devils as commanders, the dark creatures continuously retreated. They turned into groups of defeated soldiers who were fleeing for their lives.
Within a few hours, all the Devil's Den located in the grassland had been destroyed. The source of the infestation of dark creatures was cut off, leaving only a group of Beginner and Intermediate dark creatures, who escaped in all directions.
However, the players killed the remaining dark creatures.
In this victory, the players realized the power of the City of Dawn and recognized their deficiencies.
While the players were planning to become stronger and discussing why Prince William was not introducing ways to take their gold coins, hundreds of items appeared on the Dawn Mercenary Team exchange list.
William gave an order to provide a 20% discount to all items.
"My God! There are so many cheap pieces of Intermediate equipment."
"There are also Advanced pieces. When we upgrade to Advanced level, we may be able to accumulate a full set."
"You might not believe it, but I had accumulated enough gold coins and bought a piece of Silver Advanced equipment for my pending upgrade to the Advanced level."
"Buy, buy, buy! This is a 20% discount. Prince William is losing money in this fire sale. Don't miss this chance!"
"Tsk, tsk! Look at those skills. We can use our experience points to exchange for them. Although I shouldn't be learning magical skills as a warrior, I'm very tempted because it's very cheap…"
"Buy everything! If you don't buy it, you lose out! That's extreme value for money!"
William was secretly pleased. He was going to immensely profit from the players in this fire sale…
