The thunderous sound of hooves pounding against the ground reverberated throughout Sky City. The Black Cavalry had started their charge. These soldiers were more than just excellent riders, their skill with the bow was superlative as well. They had already started firing at the horde of monsters before they had even drawn near and they only started their charge in earnest after they let loose several volleys at them!

The players finally breathed a huge sigh of relief when they saw the huge host of NPC cavalrymen enter the battle. It was clear that we were no longer able to push back these monsters whose levels were simply too high for us. We needed the NPC armies to deal with them.

Furthermore, we had been engaged in fierce battle since the very beginning, so the player population of Sky City had dropped to its lowest point. We barely even had one hundred thousand players left!

We’d gone from more than seventy million players to a mere one hundred thousand players. The ground around us was littered with equipment dropped by both monsters and players alike, but none of the survivors were able to pick them up. It wasn’t that we didn’t want to pick these items up, we were simply unable to. Everyone who was still alive had stuffed their inventories to the brim. Now we just needed to survive until the end, and all of us would reap massive rewards!

……

Boom!

Thousand Ice Slash exploded in the middle...
