Dragonborn was with a crowd advancing forward.

Above their heads, a large roaring Airship occupied most of the sky. It was moving slowly forward. Then there were…

“Boom—!”

“Boom—!”

With the consecutive booming sounds, blinding brilliance erupted in the midst of the Ancient Gods army. A large portion of the army was decimated.

Magic Cannons on the Airship fired continuously at the enemy like the flooding rain.

Dragonborn felt his ears going deaf with the explosions and roaring Airship propulsion. His ears were ringing, and he felt dizzy.

Cheering was heard coming from the Eternal Fire camp.

The Airship accelerated as it advanced forward.

There was a commotion at the rear of the Eternal Kingdom camp. They passed the message forward, and it reached Dragonborn.

“Sister Vanas told us to fight bravely. The Magic Machine Guns team will provide us support. If the situation turns against us, the guns will provide long range firepower!”

“It’s hilarious. Aren’t we becoming anti-retreat troops? Whoever isn’t fighting well will be blown to bits!”

“Sh*t, can you stop teasing me? It’s not easy for me to be in the mood, d*mn! Hahahaha!”

“This is going to be exciting. We’ll brace for friendly fire while we advance.” TakeASpearHit was as happy as a lark.

“The Ancient Gods army is charging!”

“The front line troops will brace their shields. Those at the rear, stop charging!”

“Listen to the commands! Otherwise, we’ll be annihilated!”

“This is the second phase! Buck up!”

At the Eternal Kingdom camp, there was cheering, while at the Eternal Fire camp, huge shields were placed in front of their formation.

The gamers followed the NPCs and braced the shields on the ground.

“Brace yourselves—!”

The shouting echoed on the battlefield. It wasn’t known whether a gamer shouted or an NPC shouted.

The rumbling of the beasts came closer and closer. The ground started quaking.

Dragonborn felt his adrenaline pumping. Though he was in a game, the battle felt completely real. It was to the point that he almost forgot he was in a game.

Explosions were heard coming from the front. The Airship fired the white flashing Magic Cannons to open up the way and break up the Ancient Gods army into pieces.

The two opposing front lines collided.

“Pom—!”

Dragonborn heard the collision sounds of bodies against shields. The gamers’ shouts were drowned by the beastly roars of the monsters.

Some red-skinned monsters leaped above their heads and landed behind the shield wall. More and more red-skinned monsters jumped over the shield wall.

Dragonborn turned his head to glance at the adjacent Eternal Fire camp.

The Eternal Fire army formation was mowing down the Ancient Gods army with high efficiency.

Dragonborn felt that was the real army battle!

The gamers were comparatively less efficient.

As the gamers’ formation was weak and there was varying quality at the front row, more and more red-skinned monsters charged into their formation.

Soon, some monsters appeared before Dragonborn.

Dragonborn lifted his shield and knocked against a charging red-skinned monster.

“Pom!”

He felt a strong power knocking into his shield and throwing him off balance. The red-skinned monster was also knocked backwards, and a gamer ended the monster’s life with a sword.

More and more red-skinned monsters appeared, but compared to the first wave tsunami in which the gamers were unable to react, this situation was much better.

At least, Dragonborn was able to retaliate.

Whether it was the veteran or the novice gamers, after the lengthy training in the game, they had mastered the basic combat skills. With their fearlessness and having a basic troop formation, the fully armed gamers had a chance in repelling the mixed Ancient Gods army.

Compared to the Eternal Fire army, which was like a razor that cut deep into the Ancient Gods army, the Eternal Kingdom army was less impressive, but at least the gamers were able to hold their formation.

A black figure was extremely prominent on the battlefield. A few gamers with superior equipment surrounded the black figure.

The gamer Arthur formed a small combat team and killed the nearby Ancient Gods troops like a meat grinder.

Dragonborn glanced at the combat team and was distracted. Then he was pounded to the ground by a red monster.

The wretched face with sharp teeth bit at Dragonborn, but he only bit on Dragonborn’s Short Sword.

Sharp, yellow teeth grated along the Short Sword and made chilling screeching sounds. Though he knew it was only a game, the scene made his heart thump faster.

A Short Sword penetrated the chest of the monster. TakeASpearHit kicked away the red-skinned monster that was slumped on top of Dragonborn. TakeASpearHit, who was stained with blood all over, extended his hand and pulled Dragonborn up.

“Gosh, you aren’t being careful. If you die here, you won’t be able to participate in this exciting battle. You’ll die of regrets!”

TakeASpearHit was covered with grotesque liquid. It wasn’t known whether the liquid was his blood or that of others, but he looked alright.

“Where is SealHead?”

Dragonborn knocked down a “Hoo loo loo” shouting monster and ended its life with a sword slash. Then he turned his head and asked TakeASpearHit.

“That beluga’s out of luck. He revived and is running back to the battlefield. The lifespan of a beluga is short,” TakeASpearHit said with sarcasm.

An incantation was heard coming from behind him.

“Who’s that unbridled evil Chaos? The Fire Spirit leaping on my hand, harken my summon. By the name of our highest contract, incinerate my unbridled enemy!”

With the incantation, a huge fireball flew closely over TakeASpearHit’s body and exploded against a red-skinned monster. Dragonborn raised his shield to fend off the furious heat wave of the explosion.

“Sh*t! Using a Mana Skill without saying anything! Who’s the bugger?” TakeASpearHit shouted as his arm was badly burnt.

“Your dad!”

A figure ran to TakeASpearHit and Dragonborn’s side. He was Houndhead Man SealHeadLingChong.

“I treat you as my son, and you want to be my dad,” TakeASpearHit said and then added, “What kind of a dialect incantation was that?”

“Sichuan, Chendu, country bumpkin!”

A red-skinned monster charged at SealHeadLingChong. TakeASpearHit charged at the monster and penetrated the monster’s body with his sword.

Whistling sounds shot over their heads.

“Magic Machine Guns shells from friendlies!”

The gun shells hurtled over the gamers to their right side. Obviously, the battle situation wasn’t working out for the gamers. Hence the Magic Machine Gun team was bombarding the area regardless of friend or foe.

“Holy cow—! What the heck! The NPCs are being massacred!”

A few gamers shouted, and Dragonborn looked over at the commotion. An ugly black Giant who was holding a huge Hammer was crushing the troops of Eternal Fire with ease. The razor troop formation of Eternal Fire ground to a halt.

“Is that an elite monster? The modeling is gorgeous,” SealHeadLingChong said in awe.

TakeASpearHit suddenly said, “I have a bold idea.”
