Chapter 163: Dawn

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the first day the city was attacked,

The catapults from both sides had started to fire.

The stones blazed in the air. They flew back and forth like shooting stars.

Occasionally, these stones would collide with each other in the sky. It would give rise to a rain of stone and fire, and the thunderous sound of an explosion echoed through the sky.

The Black Lava army had not chosen to attack.

Rhine City did not have many soldiers guarding the city wall either. Everyone was waiting in a safe place.

They were waiting for the moment all the catapults were destroyed.

On the third day,

The catapults from both sides became exhausted. They had been either destroyed, or they had suffered extreme wear and tear. Consequently, the number of stones in the sky significantly decreased.

Massive stones had landed on the ground in front of the Black Lava army. The sturdy roads and fields had all turned into a charred black.

Countless buildings in Rhine City had been destroyed. Pillars of black smoke rose to the sky, and many people were trying to put out the fire with water. More accurately, those who were shouting for the fire to be extinguished simply wanted to incite the Black Lava Nation to continue attacking.

At night.

Stones flew through the air. They had covered the sky, and it seemed to light up the entire battle.

A shooting tower in Rhine City had been attacked by the massive stones. It collapsed and crumbled into pieces.

A catapult in the Black Lava territory was also attacked by the massive stones and suddenly exploded into pieces. Some unlucky soldiers were decapitated as well.

On the seventh day.

The catapult strategy continued.

The city wall of Rhine City was full of bumps, but everyone could see that this did not bring much harm to Rhine City.

Luckily, only 13 out of the 20 shooting towers in Rhine City had been destroyed.

On the 15th day.

Stones in the sky had become a rare sight.

Even when faced with this situation, Marquis Salz still did not choose to attack.

On the 20th day.

A piece of news suddenly spread in the Iron Nation. An aristocrat, who seemed to be completely loyal to Goethe Nasis, led a legion that was supposed to guard their territory. Suddenly, they started to attack their allies. For a period of time, they attacked their allies like cutting through bamboo.

Meanwhile,

The Iron Nation became embroiled in chaos. Some aristocrats who were completely loyal to Goethe brought their armies, or their own personal troops, to rebel.

That afternoon.

The Black Lava Nation ordered all their armies to attack.

They did not continue for long. After 1000 people from both sides died, Marquis Salz ordered them to retreat.

But for the next three days.

Salz continuously gave the command for all the troops to attack.

He did this six times!

In only three days.

The guards of Rhine City were fatigued because of this strategy.

But this tactic was satisfying.

Marquis Salz used six days.

But Goethe Nasis did not dare to take the initiative and attack. The internal strife in the nation was definitely not because the aristocrats were thinking in unison. This was surely a conspiracy. He had already sent two legions to deal with this.

Thus, for a short period of time, they did not have more troops guarding the city.

Although they would lose more men attacking the city.

But in a world with battle energy and magic, there were various defense and offense strategies. If one side gained an advantage, the battle would end in a very short time.

It was very likely that an attack by the entire army would allow them to gain the upper hand. Then, they would set up camp and occupy the entire Rhine City.

At the found of a boundless army, William looked at Rhine City and muttered to himself, “The rebellion that only happened after a long time in my past life has occurred at this crucial time. It seems like the attack by the Black Lava Nation has caused this to drag on.”

“Since Handur has appeared, it does not make sense for Lansett to not appear.” This was the first time William sensed a fatal danger. Thus, he did not take the risk to charge at the city wall.

A high level professional.

He was a match for ten thousand enemies in this low-leveled battle.

Even though he had Legendary bloodline and was very handsome, he did not dare to face Lansett.

That person would not hold back from attacking him because he was handsome.

A beginner level could try to fight a middle level, but this was only applicable for small mermen…

If a middle level fought a high level soldier, they were just asking for death.

Of course, they could go and fight small mermen and Goblins…

“Luckily, Lansett and Handur only have master bloodline. If they were epics or legendaries, the key to winning this battle would lie with them.”

“For now, we can only hope that Lansett and Handur perish together, just like in my last life.”

“Although this is slightly unrealistic, a battle between experts typically happens only for a moment. In particular, I remember that Lansett has a move called Perish of Heaven and Earth, right?”

William silently pondered. It was very difficult for him to advance to level 70 in a short period of time. If he wanted to level up by one level, he needed over 700 thousand experience points. Furthermore, he had not leveled up his skills. If he wanted to become a high level professional, he would need at least six million experience. It was so uncomfortable that he almost collapsed.

The Instance Dungeon crystals were very difficult. He had not obtained many benefits from them, and he could only endure.

“Then we have to do it in secret!” William glanced at Lautner. He asked his subordinates to guard the army flag and not attack. William secretly gripped the magic scroll and brought Alec to the side.

He had to quickly resolve this war.

Furthermore, he had to control the two nations in secret, even though this was ridiculously difficult.

But William had done a lot of preparations. He even asked for custom magic scrolls from Moses. These were important.

What were custom magic scrolls?

Before he used the magic scroll, he could choose someone as his target.

He could then become that person…

Only high level illusionists were able to create these.

If he wanted a magic scroll that was effective for one year, only an illusionist enchanter would be able to create it. William would cheat his way through this!

As for how it would be done.

It was not the time to explain yet.

He already knew that the invasion of darkness would occur. No matter who won or lost in version 2.0, unless they maintained their 40 legions, the two nations would die in the hands of the dark creatures.

So.

He had to end the war in a short period of time and bring away the young people, who made up the majority. As for those who were left behind, they had no way to survive, unless they escaped to the nations in the north.

It was not that he did not want to help. He could not help them…

When faced with a wave of darkness creatures, even if he advanced to a high level, he could only guard one area.

When the time came, he could only use a puppet king, who would issue a command for his people to head to the north…

When the time came.

The City of Dawn would be the only ray of dawn in this territory.

When he left.

There was a bugle call!

The sound of drums echoed throughout the battlefield.

All troops to charge forth!
