Dragon City was quiet inside and outside, but a bloody war was about to unfold here, and even the air became heavy.
At five o'clock in the morning, the Emperor of Heaven blew the horn of attack. Nearly two hundred masters of the Heavenly Court jumped over the small sand dunes and rushed towards Dragon City at the same time. No one spoke, and no one shouted. Only the rustling sound of the soles of their shoes rubbing against the gravel on the ground could be heard. However, the murderous aura they brought was felt by every guard in Dragon City. Guan Yuxuan also felt it. He and Hu Feng were lying in a sentry tower on the city wall and poked their heads out slightly to look out. Unconsciously, sweat appeared on their palms.
Hu Feng was much more nervous than him. He had been a soldier for more than ten years, but this was the first time he faced such a situation. Seeing the people from the Heavenly Court coming at him in an overwhelming manner, he swallowed hard and asked in a low voice: "Colonel Guan...Colonel Guan, what should we do now?"
Guan Yuxuan glanced at him, patted his shoulder, calmed him down, and said, "Wait until the other party comes closer!"
"Oh!" Hu Feng answered absentmindedly. Looking at the dark crowd in the Heavenly Palace, he was secretly anxious. He pulled out the pistol from his waist and said, "Colonel Guan, open fire!"
Guan Yuxuan estimated the enemy's position and shook his head, saying, "Wait a little longer! Wait until they get closer." Hu Feng's forehead was covered with sweat, thinking to himself, if they get closer, wouldn't they rush into the city? He was anxious, and so was Guan Yuxuan. However, he also knew that most of the people in the Heavenly Court knew martial arts. If they opened fire from a distance, they might not be able to hurt many people, but would alert the enemy too early, making defense more difficult. Only at close range, by catching them off guard, could they inflict maximum damage to the enemy.
The distance between Heaven and Dragon City was only twenty steps. Hu Feng was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He lowered his voice to the lowest possible level and asked, "Colonel Guan, do it!"
Guan Yuxuan was standing at the sentry tower, with only his eyes showing, staring at the other party without blinking. He seemed not to hear what Hu Feng said in his ear, and he showed no reaction at all.
Hu Feng sighed secretly and looked down. The other party was less than fifteen steps away from the city wall. At such a close distance, he could even see the buttons on the other party's clothes clearly.
Guan Yuxuan also drew the pistol from his waist and slowly loaded the gun without making any sound. When the people in heaven were ten steps away from the city wall, he suddenly shouted, "Do it!" Then, he stood up, raised his hand and fired three shots at the crowd below.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Three consecutive gunshots broke the silence of the dawn. Before the people in Heaven could react, countless soldiers with real guns and live ammunition appeared at the gate on the originally deserted city wall and opened fire at everyone in Heaven.
This sudden change was beyond the expectations of the Emperor of Heaven, and even more so of everyone in Heaven. Moreover, outside Dragon City was all desert, flat and without any obstacles, and there was not even a place to hide. Nearly 200 members of the Heavenly Court gang were caught off guard and could not find any cover, and more than 30 of them were killed by a round of volleys.
Suddenly, there was an uproar inside and outside Longcheng, and the sound of gunfire was like firecrackers.
The people from Heaven were not to be trifled with, as they were all experienced masters. After a little disturbance, they quickly stabilized the situation. Some of them lay down on the spot and fired back, while another part rushed into Dragon City. As long as the battle turned into a close-range melee, even if Dragon City had twice as many soldiers, they would not be their match.
