Chapter 1220: Storm seed

"It has entered range, hehe!"

Shao Shiyang's hands holding his sword were shivering but his face was filled with excitement. He was looking forward to such a battle to prove himself. Challenging one of the Hybrid Demon lords Sett was a way to do so. He pulled out his sword and shouted loudly, "Listen to The Executor, Dragon Crystal Cannons, fire!"

"Wait!" I suddenly said.

"Why sir!" Shao Shiyang asked in shock.

I said, "Nine Heavens City's troops are outside, let them retreat a little."

I contacted Demon Mountain and he replied. He brought Nine Heavens City's players and NPCs to retreat and open a path for Sett. He too knew what was happening next.

Once everything was prepared, Fire Rhino Army and Changfeng Army's cannons finally fired!

...

Over 30% of the cannons here belonged to the China region NPCs. They looked really majestic being fired all at once, the entire city was shaking from the cannons. A second later, Sett was covered in shockwaves. Numerous cannons hit his head. At the same time, the cannons weren't 100% accurate so many cannonballs exploded around Sett, killing Hybrid Demons and players who had failed to escape.

Under the dense cannon fire Sett cried out. It definitely hurt being focused like that. For hundreds of Dragon Crystal Cannons to fire at you at once, only he could receive such treatment. But when the cannon fire dissipated, we saw Sett continue stepping towards the Dragonslayer Fortress. I knew about his defence, even my Butterfly couldn't do much, much less the Dragon Crystal Cannons? If this Dragonslayer Fortress really could slay dragons, then Sett was above that of dragons.

"Huh?" Old K held his axe and his body shook, "It didn't even die like that, even his health didn't reduce by much. Did that round of attacks reduce his health by 2%?"

Yue Wei Liang shook her head, "Nope!"

Death God's Elegy held his shield and spear and looked around, "Let's prepare to fight Sett up close!"

...

On the side of the NPCs, Shao Shiyang and the others were nervous. An NPC in uniform had a golden sword by his waist. He rode a red horse and led a bunch of guards. In front of his chest was Nine Heavens City's royal family badge. The moment he came, the Summer Fire Army Majors all knelt down, "Prince!"

"Prince..." I was speechless, was this Nine Heavens City's prince?

This NPC's name was Prince Lane, so his name was Lane? I only bothered about the army system and not these royals.

Lane looked at me and smiled, "So The Executor is here too."

I smiled, "Prince."

This was us greeting one another. A few minutes later, Demon Mountain led a bunch of Thor's Hammer members back. He respected Lane. At the same time, cannons fired and masked our conversation. Lane shouted to order the Dragon Crystal Cannons to continue and fire at Sett.

"This can't work, Sett is getting closer and closer!"

Demon Mountain clenched his fist and stared at Sett, "Who else can deal with this beast, damn.

Even Dragon Crystal Cannons can't blow his armor apart. What kind of defence is that!"

In the distance, Sett stretched his neck and shouted. It continued to step on the body of the players and NPCs to move forwards and it was less than 500 meters away! Sett's absorption range was 100 meters which meant that once he was 100 meters close to the Dragonslayer Fortress, we would get attacked.

Lane pulled out his sword and his expression was filled with viciousness, "What are you waiting for. Gather troops to head out, we must stop the beast outside if not Dragonslayer Fortress is gone! His Majesty used so much to build this fortress. We can't let her get destroyed here. Men, prepare to head out!"

Demon Mountain looked at Lane and a few seconds later, he said, "Prince, sending people out now would be sending them to their deaths... This..."

Lane laughed coldly, "Then does Marshal think that we would have a chance of winning if we don't strike? As long as it gets close, we will all die. Don't forget, God Slaying Zither, Greed Yin Huo, Eternal Blade are all hiding behind him. They are waiting for slaughter. If Sett doesn't die, we all will!"

Although this prince looked spoilt but he was right. If we didn't stop Sett Dragonslayer Fortress would be finished. Once we lost the city walls, the NPCs and players would not be able to stop the Hybrid Demons.

"What about Fire God Gaia?" Lane suddenly asked.

Demon Mountain said, "She was hurt by Sif and is healing."

"Oh?"

Lane said calmly, "Since even gods can't save us, we can only save ourselves. Men, bring our troops out and stop Sett!"

"Yes, prince!"

Lane had around 1000+ guards but they were all elites in silver. They had gathered up under the walls and would ride their horses out. Demon Mountain had no choice but to order Summer Fire Army, Dragon Beard Army and Ice Shield Army to send 100 thousand troops out. Many players were willing to head out and they were determined to fight to the death against the Hybrid Demon Army.

But it was obvious that so few troops weren't able to stop the Hybrid Demon Army as no one could stop Sett. This prehistoric beast stepped close and he was 200 meters away. As long as Dancing Forest used Hell’s Meteor Shower she would be able to directly hit the Boss.

"Keng!"

I pulled out my swords and prepared to fight once more, what other choice did we have?

Zhan Long members sucked in a cold breath. None of us were willing to fight Sett up close.

Not far on the right, Fang Ge Que held Heaven Arrogance Staff and looked at Sett, "Once he breaks through, we will retreat to Dragon City. We definitely can't die here."

Q-Sword nodded, "En!"

Not far away, Prague's Yan Zhao Warrior held his sword and looked at Sett calmly. He just sent his sword into the mouth of a Lamp Zombie to kill it. At this point, Yan Zhao Warrior's damage was high and he was top 10 in the china rankings. It seemed like he was going all out to become the general of Changfeng Army.

Since the army system began, player ranks started to climb. To be the general of an NPC army was not only an honor, it was also a symbol of power.

This was the reason why Soaring Dragon had such high hopes for Drunken Spear. On one side, Drunken Spear's strength and attraction were important for Soaring Dragon. On the other side, Drunken Spear was doing well in the army system. He held 90 thousand NPCs of Autumn Harvest Army and this was enough to make Soaring Dragon stand out. If not, with how Fierce Tiger and Drunken Spear were fighting, Soaring Dragon would have kicked him out.

...

As the cannons fired, Sett's face was covered in holes but he still continued to get close to the city. Along with a furious roar, he actually looked a little sad.

At this point, Lane held his blade and walked to the Tian Ling City NPC camp. He looked at Baili Ning and said respectfully, "General Baili, I am here to greet you."

Baili Ning smiled, "It is Lane you are already so old. When I last saw you, you were just over ten."

Lane smiled, "Teacher is joking. I know that I am not experienced and in front of you I am just an immature kid. This time, this monster is just too strong. Normal cannonfire can't end it, so I hope that Teacher Baili can contribute for Dragonslayer Fortress and for mankind."

Baili Ning was stunned, "What does prince mean?"

Lane said, "Teacher, you are Tian Ling City's top mage, I know that you have the power to control curses. You should have control of the wind curse- Thunder Storm. Its seed can cause huge destruction. As long as you are willing to send the seed into Sett's body, we would be able to destroy this beast from the inside!"

Baili Ning didn't say anything, it was a Major by his side who scolded, "Lane, do you know how strong the Thunder Storm is? A magician can only use it once. Old Ning used it once already, if he uses it again, he will consume his lifeforce!"

Lane nodded and knelt on the ground. He pointed outside and said, "But Sett... He is swallowing the bodies of our warriors. Gaia is badly injured and the cannons are useless against Sett. I can't think of any other way. Teacher, Lane is begging you to save Dragonslayer Fortress. This is our hard work!"

...

Baili Ning held his staff and looked towards Sett. He sighed, "Forget it, forget it, I am so old already. Tian Ling City has Lochlan, Li Xiao Yao and Lin Qiong, I... After Pearl died, I am just a soul left in this world. The era that belongs to me is gone, forget it, forget it..."

His face was ashen white and my heart felt sour.

The era of Baili Ning was over, it was now our time. One day that would leave and not return too.
