Chapter 1368: Our tomb?

“What is going on?” Lin Wan Er rode the silver dragon and looked into the sky. It seemed like the sky had become much darker.

I shook my head, “For some reason, I feel like we have entered a trap.”

“A new map?” Li Mu said.

“Maybe but let’s hope so.” I looked at the Royal Army and couldn’t help but feel worried.

Yue Qingqian held her dagger and stepped into the sky in god form, “Brother Xiao Yao, let’s not care so much and just charge and kill that God Marquis. Maybe this barrier will get broken down?”

“En that’s all we can do.”

I pointed Butterfly forwards and ordered the armies to charge over. However, a notification on the top right appeared that said that the number of humans on the map was a million, perfectly a million.

When I saw the number my heart sank and felt really uneasy. We had really fallen into someone’s trap.

But Beihai God Marquis’s men shouldn’t be our match. Are there others? That shouldn’t be!

……

After an hour of traveling south, the new map was wider than we thought and the horizon slowly lowered. Very quickly, a giant city appeared in front of us. It was a city made of green brick and it was similar in size to Nine Heavens City. It was an average sized primary city and the name of it appeared-- Ghost City.

“Ghost City?” Yan Zhao Warrior frowned, “This name, what is it!”

I didn’t say a word. At that moment, a bell rang--

“Ding!”

System Notification: You have stepped into outer region city Ghost City!

Map introduction: Ghost City, a fallen city. Legend had it that it was one of the seven legendary cities in ancient times and it stood tall during the warring periods. A famous emperor ruled this prosperous city but for some reason, overnight it turned into a ghost city, no one knew where the humans went. Shortly after, with the west mountain as the barrier, the entire map was cut off and split into two places. As explorers went to search, Ghost City finally showed itself. Be careful, after entering, you will face unimaginable dangers and challenges. But if you conquer Ghost City, you will save the south from darkness and open up a brand new era!

……

“This is a quest notification of a new map?” Q-Sword asked.

Xue Rou nodded, “It should be it but tough, I think we got conned.”

Jian Feng Han said, “Who cares, let’s just kill that God Marquis first. He is in charge of Alliance and he started all this. Kill him and we will complete the quest.”

“En!”

At that moment, the gates opened and tens of thousands of members of God Marquis’s army entered the city. When we arrived, the city closed once more.

Fortunately, our God Dragon Cannons and Dragon Crystal Cannons were still here. Like that, we had the ability to face all danger.

We headed down the walls. Tian Ling City’s four armies along with players, close to a million. A Ghost City shouldn’t be able to protect us. I brought Wan Er, Dong Cheng, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Xue Rou and stood in the skies not far away. An order was given and the Dragon Crystal Cannons fired.

On the walls, the Beihai City NPCs started to place defences on the walls. Archers aimed at us but unfortunately, they didn’t do much damage to us.

I looked at the people behind me and said, “Send some people to scout from above. We have to confirm there is no ambush.”

“En en.”

Everyone scattered. I held my sword and flew from above the gates. I spread my hands and used Star Shield to block many arrows before flying along their main path. I saw that the shops were tightly shut and the furnace of the blacksmith shop was not lit for over ten thousand years. The bread shop was empty and the only things busy were the Beihai City troops working. Moreover, they should be here for the first time and they weren’t familiar with the area.

“Hua la!”

I charged into a residence and the door actually collapsed when I pushed it slightly. When I walked in I picked up a decomposing scent. Further inside, the ashes in the furnace had all decomposed and the chairs in the hall turned into dust to a slight push. I went upstairs and saw no one in the rooms.

Underground!

I held my sword and went down and I picked up a decomposing flesh smell. The underground was used to store food and there were many bottles used to store preserved food. There was something like strawberry jam but it definitely didn’t smell good. So many years and they all became really smelly.

I raised my hand and stabbed my sword underground. I dug a few meters but didn’t find anything.

I jumped out and went to search the houses on the other few streets as well as an army camp but I didn’t notice anything. From above to underground showed that this city was a dead city and no one was ambushing us here.

“Did you all see anything?” I asked in the party channel.

Lin Wan Er, “No, nothing at all.”

Yue Qing Qian, “En, me too.”

Old K, “It is indeed an old city, damn there is not even dog shit!”

Xue Rou, “Damn, Old K you are so low, Brother Xiao Yao kick him out. He is lowering our standards, hehe…”

I laughed, “Stop it, the atmosphere is so solemn!”

Lin Wan Er said, “Now what hubby?”

“Order the troops to all out attack!” I flew above and looked at the empty city, “We know nothing about this map and who knows if there would be unknown things attacking us. So let’s just take it down to use it as our base if not we might panic. Let’s go out to attack. Don’t use the cannons. Take down the walls without destroying anything and capture that God Marquis alive.”

“Okay!”

……

I flew close to the ground and the Beihai City troops roared and used their shields to block but how could they manage to do so. One set of skills and they were all blown out. At the same time, Lin Wan Er descended from above. Silver Dragon breath was enough to cause this bunch to suffer. Along with Silver Dragon strike’s special effect, we quickly wiped out a bunch.

“Wife you hold on, I will kick the door open!” I held my swords and smiled.

Lin Wan Er’s defence was not much weaker than mine. She had over 30% lifesteal so naturally she didn’t fear fighting these NPCs. A few skills and she was able to kill a bunch. She looked like a beautiful demon. She smiled, “Quick, we are away from Tian Ling City’s map and I feel a little uneasy.”

“En.”

Actually, she was not the only one, even I felt uneasy. I used Bladerush to break through a bunch of NPCs. In God Form, I used Wind Carrying Slash to rip away a group. I then stepped forwards and the giant iron gate was kicked aside!

“Creak…”

Numerous Royal Army troops were led by Han Yuan. This city gate was compromised!

“Your highness!”

Jing Yin rode her horse over and giggled, “The gate was broken so easily, your highness is so valiant!”

I nodded, “Occupy it quick and capture some of their troops. Get God Marquis alive. Apart from that, place the cannons on the walls and prepare to defend.”

“Yes!”

……

The four gates all landed in our hands in just 20 minutes and all that was left was a massacre. Beihai City’s tens of thousands of remaining troops naturally weren’t our match. Those that tried to fight back were all killed. As for those that gave up, we left them alive. I wanted to get something from their mouths, after all we knew nothing about this place.

After an hour of alley fights, we ended the battle. We killed tens of thousands and captured 7000+

As there was no mid tent, we tied the prisoners together in the square. The many generals from Tian Ling City stood on the steps and waited for me to give the order. Although I was Xiao Yao King that focused on administrative matters, but in their hearts, my military position was higher than Yan Zhao Warrior.

He was helpless and so was I. Seemed like only when I fully leave the game will his position be right. It was tough for him!

“Go!”

Han Yuan held a guy like a small chicken, it was the Beihai God Marquis. But when we saw him we couldn’t help but laugh. He was a 1.6 meter guy and looked short. The armor was amusing looking at him.

“Wait!”

I walked off the steps and held the God Marquis’s arms. I scolded Han Yuan, “Don’t be rude!”

“Yes!” Han Yuan accommodate me.

I held him up but when he saw me, my heart shook. It was a gaze filled with rage, disdain, and teasing. What did he do to us for him to have such a gaze?

“God Marquis, you are a prisoner now,” I said.

He raised his head and smiled, “Come Li Xiao Yao, the top person in the world. But in this world, hehehe, after killing me you will understand everything.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

He laughed coldly, “I suffered 100 thousand troops to draw you empire lackeys here. Do you not understand? Li Xiao Yao, unless you can survive this place, if not just wait to die. Don’t think that the city can save you, this is just a tomb set up for all of you!”

I, “...”
