The sky was still covered with dark clouds. But at noon, the scorching sun rays penetrated the dark clouds and shone on the grass plain.
The noontime sun was the hottest, and that was the main reason why the dark creatures retreated.
How did the dark clouds form?
Just by sensing the dark magic above their heads, one would know that it was not an ordinary dark warlock who could form such a large dark cloud.
Or in other words, it was created by some powerful devil.
The strategy of the Darkness Invasion in the nine continents was the same. They used dark clouds to block the sunlight and countless dark creatures as cannon fodder to attack the human nations one after another, taking away all lives.
In fact, many players and natives wanted to ask about the powerhouses of the continent.
Where were they?
Why did they not appear?
They could easily destroy the dark army. Even if they did not want to do so, they could clear the dark clouds above their heads.
They could give them enough time to take a breather …
But William did not want to tell them the truth.
The Darkness invasion was not just a game for the Gods and Devils.
It was the day that all the experts looked forward to.
Because only the sacrifice of lives could revive the Gods' world.
Only when blood flowed like a river could the endless magic become rich again.
Only when countless deaths appeared would the space barrier become weaker.
The arrival of the fourth era.
The Gods and Devils wanted to descend.
The experts wanted to become stronger.
All the ambitious beings wanted their races to become the main characters of the fourth era.
Hence.
The sacrifice of a small number of people was unavoidable …
In the eyes of the extraordinary beings, they were doing it for the greater good. They were doing it to start the fourth era.
If they became the main characters of the fourth era, they would enjoy great luck for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
If that was the case, was the sacrifice of a small number of people worth it?
Furthermore.
The places that were invaded by the Darkness were only some remote places on the continent.
There were not many resources and people. Even if there were a small number of geniuses, they were nothing compared to the prosperous center of the continent.
In the end.
If they were not strong enough, they could only become pawns and be controlled by others.
The City of Dawn had two enchanters, Moses and Old Band.
But did Moses dare to attack?
He was a person with the title of the traitor of the Gods.
William even knew that if this guy really went all out, there would definitely be people coming to kill him.
What about Old Band?
William wanted to ask him about it, but he had already left to participate in the war in the Moonlight Forest …
It was a war that was far more terrifying and bloody than the Darkness Invasion in the Southeast …
It was a war led by Saints …
…
After a short rest, the City of Dawn officially changed its defense.
Because there were hundreds of thousands of players helping to defend the city, the 36000 regular soldiers didn't need to all be at the frontlines. At least half of them were resting.
After 12 hours of continuous defense, even an Intermediate Professional would be exhausted.
This was not about the battle energy value that could be slowly recovered, but the hidden mental strength!
At this moment, Xiyan flew towards the Winged race. If everything went according to plan, the Winged army would come to the City of Dawn to help defend.
In the southeast corner of the Blackleaf forest, the City of Dawn, the Orc tribe of Altaic, and the Great Dragon tribe were the first line of defense.
The Seraphkin resided within the forest. If Dawn City was destroyed, even if they had time to retreat, they would lose their homeland.
Unfortunately, the leaders of the major tribes and races in the southeast corner were all ambitious existences!
They didn't want to be devoured by the dark creatures, and no one wanted to be the second in command. They had to fight back against the dark creatures.
William stood at the edge of the city wall and looked down at the corpses of the dark creatures. He said in a deep voice, "Legolas, use my space ring to move all the corpses back into the city. Burn the corpses that can't be moved. This is to prevent the spread of the Dark World."
Legolas nodded. He took William's ring and flew to the bottom of the cliff. No one knew how many dark creatures there were. But in the short span of 12 hours, their corpses had piled up to a height of 10 meters. If the corpses continued to pile up, the advantage of the cliff would be gone.
The corpses of the dark creatures were also useful. Their bodies could be turned into various materials. There was nothing that could not be done.
The main forces of the attack last night were skeleton soldiers, a few dark knights (those without horses), carrion monsters, devil hounds, and even the 'Giant Dark Lizard', which was known as the killer of the players.
The Giant Dark Lizard was a kind of crawling creature in the Dark World. It looked terrifying. There was no flesh on its head. Only its skull was exposed.
Their tongues were very long and could easily swallow a professional. They were also very agile and could crawl faster than any dark creature. They were also the most difficult creatures to defend against in a defensive battle.
Of course, this was only true for the City of Dawn.
In fact, the taller Carrion Monsters made up of all kinds of corpses were usually more lethal. They were like trolls with great destructive power, and it was easier for them to cause an unparalleled impact on the city gate.
But it was a pity.
They couldn't see the city wall. They could only see the steep cliff. It was very difficult to climb up …
"Let Fiu Roeser lead 6000 Tauren men to participate in the battle." William continued to give orders. In the past six months, the Tauren tribe had recruited many small and medium-sized Tauren tribes.
Now, they had become a tribe with a population of 20,000.
Hence, 6000 Tauren warriors were not considered a lot. They were not part of the regular army.
"Yes, sir." Nox nodded. He waved his hand to let the messenger inform William. Why didn't he use the magic transmission scroll? He was afraid that this coward would pretend not to see it …
William hesitated for a while and said in a deep voice, "Let Bloody Crusher lead the Trolls to prepare for battle."
"Yes, sir!"
"I've already asked around. The Black Lava Dukedom is not facing a strong attack. If there are no accidents, the City of Dawn is the main target of the dark creatures. Next, assemble all 2000 catapults!"
"Yes, sir!"
"800 heavy-duty crossbows are ready. Tell the archers to aim at the middle-level dark creatures. Don't be rash!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Let the [Breaking Wave Legion] participate in the battle. Stop the warship Dawn Vessel."
"Yes, sir."
"Let the [Blade Cavalry Legion] go to where they should go. Tell them that a huge battle is waiting for them."
"Yes, sir …" Nox ordered the messenger again.
"The Temple of Light …"
"My Lord, they have arrived. Including the chosen ones, there are a total of 1300 Temple Knights and 1000 pastors. Apart from them, the Temple of Darkness has also sent 1500 professionals."
William nodded. He glanced at Chu Liuqiu, who had not gone offline to rest, and the group of players. He said, "I'll leave the task of organizing the chosen ones to you. The beginner chosen ones can defend the places with fewer dark creatures. The middle-level chosen ones can head to the places where the battle is the most intense."
"Yes, sir." Chu Liuqiu said in a deep voice. He felt that the real battle was coming. The chaotic battle yesterday was just an appetizer.
"Then, let's have a meal and rest." William did not leave the city walls or the battlefield. His home was at the edge of the city walls. His city lord's mansion was near the cliff!
He was the Lord.
He was the first line of defense.
If the City of Dawn was conquered, his home would be the first place to be conquered.
…
Two hours passed slowly.
The sunlight disappeared from the land again.
The sky was dark and misty.
Dark creatures that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared on the grassland once more.
This time, there were more and more dark creatures, and they were more ferocious.
There were tens of thousands of middle-level dark creatures!
There were large dark lizards that were a few meters long. Their bodies were covered with hard scales, and black smoke was emitted from their mouths. There were thousands of them.
There were tens of thousands of undead creatures.
There were dark knights riding skeleton warhorses.
There were zombies with black tattoos on their bodies.
The goat-headed monsters were also common dark creatures. They were two to three meters tall and were very powerful.
There were countless dark creatures of all kinds.
There were 300,000 of them …
The ones supervising the battle were the devils. There were many beginner, middle-level, and high-level devils.
When everyone saw the second wave of Darkness invasion, they felt a chill in their hearts.
William did not rest. He did not have time to rest.
He just stood on the city walls and waited for the enemies to arrive.
Clang!
The instant the 2000 catapults launched the Meteor Shower, the Meteor Shower exploded.
Another defensive battle had officially begun.
At this moment, there was a thunderous roar from afar.
A clap of thunder could be heard from afar. Xiyan had returned. At the same time, a total of 12000 Harpy soldiers had also arrived!
They wore silver armor and had wings on their backs. They were like an Angel army.
The Winged people did not dare to fight to the death.
They just wanted to see the sky city that they had never seen before before they died.
But in the face of extermination, they were not afraid to fight!
Next.
Annie, who was also wearing a suit of shiny silver armor, had also led 3,000 personal guards to participate in the battle!
At this moment.
There were 35000 pure-blood Elves participating in the battle. Only a few Elves who had no combat power were left behind.
William turned around and looked at Annie, who had tears in her eyes.
He understood.
Annie seemed to know some information. Or rather, Old Band's departure could not be hidden from her.
Her brother, the Moonlight Elven King, Cronus, had turned into the Death God of the Darkness and started a war against the Elves in the Moonlight Forest!
All the Moonlight Elves in the Moonlight Forest were in the middle of a bloody battle.
They had no reason to reject the war since they were in the Dark Forest.
William sighed. He turned around and looked at the endless dark army.
He pointed his sword forward.
Just like the previous night.
He shouted.
"For survival, follow me and fight!"
"For survival, Humans fight!" All the Humans in the city shouted.
"For survival, Winged people fight!" Xiyan led the Winged army and shouted.
"For survival, Elves fight!" Annie unsheathed her longsword and shouted angrily.
"For survival, fight!"
