CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104, A PERSON BLOCKS THE CITY GATE, MAKING THE MEI ZONE’S UNION AFRAID TO GO OUT_1

As the voice sounded, smoke billowed where Jiang Chen had been standing, but he had already used the Sky Flash Skill to dodge 200 meters away.

Jiang Chen laughed and taunted, "Is everyone in Mei Zone’s Union a bunch of idiots? If you have the guts, come down and fight! I’ll take on all of you, all one hundred thousand of your men, by myself!"

Fernal was livid. They were cornered with no way out—an utterly suffocating situation.

"He’s too arrogant! That guy actually wants to take on 100,000 of us alone!"

"Commander, let me go down and kill him! We can’t let him be so arrogant!"

"Exactly! We have so many Angels—why would we fear a Swordsman? His speed is high, but ours isn’t slow either!"

"Commander, open the city gates! I’ll organize a team to go and eliminate him! We absolutely cannot let him act so insolently!"

One after another, they fumed, challenged to battle yet not daring to engage. If word of this got out, it would enrage everyone in Mei Zone’s Union.

At this moment, Mei Zone’s Divine Emmisary watched the scene, deep in thought. As a Divine Envoy, he would not interfere in Alliance warfare, not even utter an extra word. Although he served as Mei Zone’s Divine Emmisary, he was, after all, a Hero of All Gods. This young fellow is quite interesting! Truly a Swordsman comparable to Bai Yun, he mused.

Fernal commanded, "Dispatch one hundred Angels! I want to see what this person is truly capable of. Remember, his speed is very high, and his Offensive Power is also very strong."

"Don’t worry, Commander, we’ll definitely kill him!"

Soon, one hundred Angels appeared outside, flapping their pure wings and soaring through the sky as they charged toward Jiang Chen.

Damn it, I forgot Angels can fly, Jiang Chen thought. But so what if they can fly? Taste my Sword Qi!

Without another word, Jiang Chen activated his Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode. Three Hundred Sword Auras shot out with terrifying speed, attacking the Angels like bolts of thunder.

The Angels quickly scattered, dodging the Sword Qi.

It had to be said that the Angels’ speed was incredibly fast. Their defensive power, Offensive Power, and speed all marked them as a top-tier class. Moreover, they possessed a type of Magical Array Protective Shield that enveloped them.

Several streaks of white light flashed.

"This is impossible! How high is his Offensive Power? Even the Divine Light Shield can’t withstand it!"

"Damn it! His Offensive Power is at least fifty times stronger than ours! This person cannot be a pre-First-stage class!"

"Such terrifying Sword Qi! It’s simply invincible!"

"This person is so terrifying!"

From atop the city walls, the other Angels watched the battle. They saw Jiang Chen standing perfectly still as Three Hundred Sword Auras rapidly swirled within a fifty-meter radius around him.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, a life was taken.

The Angels’ Divine Light Shields couldn’t withstand the Sword Qi Attacks at all; the shields shattered like eggshells at the slightest impact.

Seeing how terrifying Jiang Chen was, the remaining few dozen Angels fled the battle, flying back to the safety of the city walls.

Jiang Chen burst into laughter. "You Birdmen might as well just surrender! A bunch of winged freaks!"

Laughing heartily, Jiang Chen turned and left.

Time to go home for a meal, he thought. I’m starving.

Jiang Chen returned to the Dragon Zone Union city.

Wang Meng said excitedly, "Boss, you’re alright!"

"What could possibly happen to me? Just a bunch of Birdmen; they couldn’t hold me. If they hadn’t hidden in the city and refused to come out, I could’ve wiped out all one hundred thousand of them."

Every city had a Protective Shield that had to be broken before an attack could penetrate.

This is a game mechanic, Jiang Chen thought, wanting to curse, A damned mechanic!

Otherwise, Jiang Chen could have just dropped into Mei Zone’s Union city, wreaked havoc, and the whole Alliance Competition would be over.

Ruo Li smiled. "Jiang Chen, where did you run off to so early this morning? We couldn’t find you anywhere."

"Oh, just took a stroll over the Nordic European Union and Mei Zone’s Union. Casually killed a Dragon Knight, shot down some Birdmen, and now I’ve hurried back for a meal," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

The people around him were filled with envy.

"My goodness! He just strolled around the Nordic European Union like it was nothing!"

"So amazing! Truly worthy of being number one in the Alliance Competition!"

"With Jiang Chen here, we might actually take first place!"

"Victory is in sight! Let’s crush them!"

Ruo Li said, "You’re quite impressive. Come on, I’ll take you to breakfast, and we can have a meeting. There’s some really bad news."

Jiang Chen was eating breakfast when he asked, "What news?"

"Just as you were heading out, the Sakura Alliance sent a small team over, and a clash occurred. Several hundred people died."

I regret leaving now, Jiang Chen thought. It would have been far more satisfying to just wipe out those Sakura Alliance people directly!

Ruo Li continued, "And there’s worse news. The Sakura Alliance and the Han Union have formed an alliance. You already know that Mei Zone’s Union has allied with the Nordic European Union."

Jiang Chen nodded. He had long known about the Angels teaming up with the Dragon Knights. He just hadn’t expected the Han Union to ally with the Sakura Alliance; that was a surprise.

Jiang Chen drank his milk and ate his breakfast. "Is this milk yours? It tastes a little sour. Is it expired?"

"Of course, it’s—" Just as Ruo Li was about to say something, she giggled and said, "Are you asking to drink mine?"

"..."

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless. "Senior Sister, can you please not make suggestive jokes? I’m a very serious person. If we keep talking like this, you’ll corrupt me sooner or later. I’m very pure, you know."

Don’t lead the innocent astray, he thought.

"Oh, please! If you’re pure, then no one in the world is pure," Ruo Li retorted. "I’m being serious here. The Dragon Zone Union has to go on the defensive now. You can’t go out on your own anymore. We need you on the battlefield."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Okay, leave it all to me. My sword is very long."

"I remember you once said that other parts of you are also very long."

"My hair is also very long."

"Besides that?"

"Well, my legs are also very long."

"Your legs aren’t that long."

"I meant the other ’leg’ hidden in my pants."

Ruo Li giggled.

「In the meeting room.」

Black Phoenix looked at the Legion commanders, her expression grave. "The Sakura Alliance and the Han Union have now allied. This is a significant disadvantage for us. If those four major Alliances team up again, our Dragon Zone Union will be the first to be eliminated."

"So, what comes next is a defensive battle. We need to figure out how to defend against the Sakura Alliance and the Han Union, as they are the closest to us."

A dozen Legion commanders shook their heads.

Defense? How can we defend? Especially against the Dragon Knights of the Nordic Angels, the Sakura Alliance’s Shikigami Class, and the Sharpshooters from the Han Union? All these classes are very strong.

Defending against one Alliance might be possible, but two would be incredibly tough.

And the Nordic European Union and Mei Zone’s Union were still lurking nearby, eyeing them hungrily.

One of the Legion commanders spoke up, "If it’s a defensive battle, then warriors will have no room to use their strengths. They can only defend from atop the high walls and cannot engage in close combat."

"You’re right. It’s better to have a real, head-on fight. Even if we lose, there’s honor in it."

"A defensive war is simply not viable. Judging from previous Alliance Competitions, defending is equivalent to admitting defeat; it’s just a matter of how long you can last. There’s not much point in doing that."

"If we can’t defend, then we should take the offensive. However, if we go on the offensive, we’ll face threats from two major Alliances."

"What’s there to fear? Let’s just do it! If we lose, we lose. Nothing to be scared of."

"This concerns the rankings in the Five Alliances Competition. Is our Dragon Zone Union going to end up in last place?"

"It looks like they’re preparing for us to finish last."

Black Phoenix hadn’t anticipated the situation becoming so dire either. The Alliance Competition had just started, and the Sakura Alliance had already allied with the Han Union, clearly planning to completely encircle the Dragon Zone Union.

Adding the Nordic European Union and Mei Zone’s Union, they would be facing four major Alliances.

At that moment, a warrior entered the meeting room.

"Commander, the Sakura Alliance and the Han Union have issued an invitation. They’re proposing a ten-thousand-man melee."

A ten-thousand-man melee? Is this even a melee? It’s clearly two against one!
