The City of Dawn, the most powerful faction in the Gods continent, was operating at full speed. William had abandoned almost all the other cities, including the Beast Citadel, the East Sea Metropolis, and so on.
He sent all the soldiers he could to the City of Dawn.
But even so …
His Royal Highness understood that he was fighting against an entire race, and the number of enemies was simply too many.
The City of Dawn had a population of 97 million.
The regular legions had a total of 7.8 million soldiers.
The Dawn Mercenary Team had 3.3 million NPC mercenaries. The number of players had reached 11.3 million, which was the highest in the City of Dawn.
In this defensive battle.
Besides the World Tree and the Dawn Elves, which had not been exposed, William had blocked almost everything. He had used more than 20 million soldiers to protect the city with a population of tens of millions to prevent the World Tree from being taken away.
But what about the Elves?
It could be said that even if the number of Elves was small.
The Elven Kingdom, which was formed by all the Elves in the seven continents, had at least 500 million Elves.
Of course, the Elves who had experienced the second era could not be compared to the Human and Seraphkin in terms of numbers.
But the Elves had inherited many legacies from the second era, so no one dared to underestimate them.
If they started a war of extermination.
The Elves could turn all of their citizens into soldiers. They could still take a bite out of the enemy's flesh when they tried to attack them.
In this battle for the World Tree.
William did not know how many soldiers the Elves would send.
But it was obvious that it would not be too many or too few.
If the Elves sent too many soldiers, it would mean that the Elves did not want to survive. If they were held back by the City of Dawn, the Seraphkin and the Human race might take advantage of the situation. The Dwarfs and the Elves were in a honeymoon period, but now they were separated. They might not help.
If the Elves sent too few soldiers …
For example, the number of soldiers was similar to that of the City of Dawn.
If the Elves wanted to win, there was only one condition.
Elites.
Super legions with various abilities.
Super legions that had appeared in the second era.
If not, it would be a trump card legion formed by countless Grandmaster Elves.
After all, in the battlefield of the intelligent races in the Gods' continent, sages could not kill the weak. This was a rule set by many races.
Saints had their own battlefields, and Legends had their own battlefields. Only Epics could take on the role of an army commander. They could do some damage on the battlefield, but they would be held back by professionals of the same realm.
However, it was very difficult for Saints and Legends to appear on the battlefield, unless the party who broke the rules had absolute power and completely disregarded the many races who had set the rules.
But this.
William couldn't do it. The three elven kings seemed powerful, but they couldn't do it.
As for the super army?
The Elf Race's most powerful army was none other than the Life Chain Army. It was truly amazing. All of them were scientists, and as long as they didn't stray too far from the army, they were practically immortal.
Currently, the Elven Kingdom had at least 17 to 18 such legions. As for the number of legions that could come to the City of Dawn, there were less than half of them.
His Royal Highness had a heavy heart in his heart. In fact, he didn't have much of a way to deal with this kind of army that was full of cheats if the Saint Realm powerhouses couldn't intervene.
Of course.
Besides the Dragon's Blood Legion and the Life Chain Legion, he had also created several super legions in the City of Dawn. These legions could at least hold back the Blood Lock Legion on the battlefield. If his plan worked, he might even be invincible on the battlefield.
As for the other Elven legions?
He was helpless.
He could only fight them head-on.
Because the City of Dawn was facing the Elves.
They were the Elves, who had the strongest individual combat power among the three major races!
They were the second era's Elves, who could single-handedly fight against the entire Dark World.
They were the most powerful regular legions of the City of Dawn.
What if he thought that they were weak?
If he thought that the City of Dawn could defeat the other factions and become invincible, he was definitely wrong!
"But I have more than 10 million players. Among them, more than 7 million players have already reached the Grandmaster level!" William couldn't help but sneer. "War of attrition, suicidal tactics, mudslides … have I ever been afraid of anyone?"
"As long as I have enough health points and can break through the defense, I can even kill a God!"
…
William boosted the morale of the soldiers in the barracks.
Legendary commanders who had graduated from the Dawn Battle Energy College and Magic College were also instructing the players on where to defend.
There were five versions of baptism.
The players had been on the battlefield many times, especially the veteran players in version 1.0. They were very familiar with the command system of the City of Dawn's legions. They could clearly see the various command flags. Now, all of them were experienced veterans.
Even if the new players didn't understand, they would not make too many mistakes.
Although the City of Dawn was large enough and had been expanding over the past five versions, it now had a large territory. But every time the city expanded, a new wall would be built.
Until now.
The City of Dawn was close to the southern coastal sea. In addition, William had a premonition that a war was about to break out. In just three days, Moses led many Great Enchanters to strengthen the height of all the city walls to 150 meters.
150 meters?
It looked very tall!
But was it useful against Advanced and Grandmaster professionals who could fly?
Of course, it was useful.
The Advanced flying skills were useless. They were just live targets.
The Grandmaster's flying speed was very fast and agile. But in the eyes of the professionals of the same level, it was not as agile as flying on the ground.
Besides Epic professionals, flying in the air was still a problem.
After a few decades.
The City of Dawn's city walls were divided into dozens of districts. The city walls of each district could be considered a line of defense.
The forbidden area of the Rainbow Lake was not located in the center of the city, but there were still three districts outside. This meant that if they attacked from the east, south, and west, they would have to destroy at least three lines of defense before they could approach the forbidden area of the Rainbow Lake.
It was at that time.
Only then would the battle for the position of sage erupt.
At this moment.
The City of Dawn was relocating its citizens to Stormy Island, the East Sea Metropolis, and the Beast Citadel.
But William's charisma was too great.
Even though the legions were driving the people away, there were still too many people who were reluctant to leave the city.
"Prince William, where is Prince William? We're not afraid. Captain, please tell him, please?" A middle-aged man pulled the arm of a soldier and shouted desperately, "We're not afraid of death. Even if the enemy attacks, even if we're weak, we'll sacrifice our lives for the City of Dawn."
"It's hateful. Why am I only a beginner professional? Even if I want to stay here, I don't have the chance to do so."
"Let's go. Let's go. The city lord is doing this for us. With our strength, we can't stay here. Even if we're just escorts, we can't." A shopkeeper was in tears as he brought his grandson to the Teleportation Hall.
But his grandson said in a clear voice, "Grandpa, the City of Dawn has never lost. In the future, I want to be like my father and become a true warrior of the City of Dawn."
The shopkeeper tilted his head and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. "Good, good. Be like your father and become a warrior of the City of Dawn. Become a warrior to protect your homeland. The city lord said that your father died in the Dark World. You have to eat more in the future so that you can grow taller and take revenge for your father."
"Yes, grandpa. I'll work hard." The little boy held his grandfather's hand tightly as he left his home.
Now, the streets of the City of Dawn were filled with citizens carrying parcels. They were all going to the Teleportation Hall to other cities.
As for the safety of those cities?
To be honest.
As long as William was alive, the City of Dawn would not fall. No one would dare to touch the other cities. At most, some bounty hunters and mercenaries who did not understand the situation might cause trouble.
The Elves' motive was simple. They were after the World Tree.
There was no blood feud between the Elves and the City of Dawn. It was purely a fight for benefits. The Elves would not do anything disgusting.
This war was purely about fighting head-on. There were no conspiracies.
…
Time slowly passed.
Three days later.
The Dawn Army and the players were on standby. The Dawn Army had already secured their respective positions, while the players were divided into guilds and chose their own areas to defend.
Under the leadership of Chu Liuqiu and the others, the casual players formed thousand-man teams and guarded the long city walls.
Usually, when an area was defended by NPCs, another area would be defended by players, and then by NPCs.
There were some disadvantages to this mode of defense. For example, the defense line of the players was more fragile and could be easily penetrated.
But there were also many benefits.
As long as the players could resist the first wave of attacks, they would be able to hold back any Elven legion. When the enemies entered the legion, they would definitely die.
They could revive six times a day. This was the biggest advantage of the players. They could revive on the spot. It was very cool.
Even though the city walls of the City of Dawn were very long, the 20 million soldiers could not fully spread out. Only one-third of the soldiers could stand on the city walls.
Two-thirds of the remaining guards could be changed. This reduced the pressure on William.
Meanwhile,
The magical weapons of the City of Dawn appeared frequently.
Magical Destruction Guns.
There were magic cannons, continuous, accumulative, and instantaneous cannons. Each of these cannons had different powers and effects.
Cannon Gunners could use the Magical Hand Cannon and Magical Pistols. The wealthier players took advantage of the discount in the City of Dawn shop to buy them.
Of course, the Magical Cannons, cannons, and arrow towers were not placed on the city walls. Instead, they were placed on the cannons at the back. Not only could they avoid enemy attacks, but they could also give more space to the warriors of the City of Dawn.
There were hundreds of thousands of cannons and arrow towers. They were like a forest of towers that suddenly rose from within the city walls.
What about the Magical Gatling Gun?
When William created it, it could not be used on intelligent races.
But now, what about the Elves?
He still did not want to use it …
Or rather,
He did not want the Elves to use the 'pirated' Magical Gatling Gun on him.
The Gatling Gun was too destructive.
At this moment.
Countless spatial fluctuations spread.
Many teleportation portals opened in all directions of the City of Dawn.
The Elven army surged out like a steel torrent.
There were too many of them.
Too many …
The three Elven kings sent in 30 million soldiers.
But at this moment.
William gently waved his hand on the temporary Dawn Tower in the center of the City of Dawn.
Buzz!
Visible ripples spread across the entire City of Dawn.
Life halo.
Magic halo.
Legendary Lord halo.
In the next second.
The entire city was trembling slightly, and countless places were glowing.
Moses' 'All Elements Rune Magic Formation' was activated.
The magical stone mine was burning.
But everyone in the city received a huge boost. All attributes increased by 10%. Attack and defense increased by 20%. Attribute attacks increased by 20%.
A wave of attacks came.
Countless players and professionals were shocked …
Gosh!
Just how many auras and buffs did he have?
The players, in particular, looked at the list of buffs next to their avatars. Damn it, including their own skills, spells, and magic arrays, there were dozens of buffs, which basically doubled their stats.
Two words.
Awesome to the point of breaking the heavens!
In the next second.
William's voice reverberated throughout the world.
"City of Dawn!"
"Fight!"
