"Spear Knights, defend!"
I didn't know who shouted, but the Korean players immediately came to their senses. A large group of spear wielding knights immediately formed a formation and aimed their spears at the China players.
Although Full Moon Dance wasn't here, the Korean players still had a leader. A heavily-armored knight shouted angrily, "Archers, second line! Prepare to fire!"
Immediately, the archers gathered together and raised their bows 45 degrees to the sky. Then, they pulled their bows into the shape of a full moon. This way, their attack range would greatly increase, but they wouldn't have any accuracy to speak of. It would only be effective in a large-scale defensive battle.
“fire！”
The heavily-armored knight shouted, and a dense rain of arrows streaked across the sky. They fell toward us like a swarm of locusts.
Lone Grave shouted in a low voice, "Raise the shield!"
The warriors of the first line immediately raised their shields and continued to charge at high speed. My Blaze Warhorse and Ling Xue's Snow Feather Pegasus were fast, but we slowed down and maintained the same speed as everyone else. This was the only way to ensure a stronger impact and crush the enemy's defensive line in one fell swoop.
Pu pu pu pu...
The rain of arrows hit me like tickles, and I only lost a few hundred HP. The long-distance wind had caused the arrows to lose their original attack power. In fact, some of them could only deal a small amount of damage to me. These archers' original attack power was useless against us heavily-armored players. Perhaps only a Stun Arrow would be effective against us!
However, just because Bing Cha and I were unaffected didn't mean that everyone else was unaffected. Behind us, a few warriors had lost more than half of their HP, but they still persisted in Charge. Under the fierce rain of arrows, a white light flashed, and the first rider died. The warhorse fell to the ground with the warrior's body, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Soon, the enemy's defensive line was right in front of us. The Korean heavily-armored knight immediately shouted, "Change to Stun Arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Like a bolt of lightning, the white light flew out!
I reacted quickly and brandished my sword as I shouted, "God's Domain, go up!"
"Hua!"
As the Domain Energy left his hand, it formed a long canopy in front of the archer camp. It was as if it had blocked the archer's gunshots. In an instant, countless Stun Arrows were nullified. The bullets were shattered into pieces when they hit the canopy!
Although the Canopy Domain was quickly destroyed, it had bought three precious seconds, and for the cavalry, three seconds was more than enough to reach the enemy!
Even Solitary Grave laughed out loud. "Well done, Scholar!
Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive! "
Finally, the two armies clashed. The charging cavalry faced the defending cavalry of the opponent!
…
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The two rows of cavalrymen collided with each other at an incomparably fast speed. It was a competition of pure strength. It was clear that the Korean soldiers were not a match for them at all. The charge of White Cloud City's elites was not something they could withstand.
"Crack!"
The spear that the opponent had thrust out was pressed against my chest armor. In any case, in any case, in any case, in any case, in any case. With a casual swing of my sword, I cut the spear in half. Even the equipment was destroyed. Could it be a Silver Tier weapon?
Wasn't that a little too weak?
The warrior whose weapon had been cut in half was furious. He pulled out his sword and charged me. I swung my shield and smashed it into his face. Then, I swung my sword again and killed him. Blood rained down from the sky!
"Ah ah ah …"
The Korean berserker charged me with a sharp axe, his face covered in blood. I didn't give him a chance to get close to me. I raised my sword and unleashed the light of Divine Dragon Slash. The long sword energy pierced through the crowd and instantly killed a dozen archers at the back. The heavily-armored players in the middle also lost at least half of their health!
White Cloud City was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but their morale was unstoppable. They looked like they could swallow the world.
"Hiss hiss …"
I heard the familiar sound of lightning. I knew that someone was about to die.
As expected, a lightning sword descended from the sky and electrocuted a group of Korean players. They scrambled to return to the city to be reincarnated. On the other side, Ling Xue's Ice Whirlwind Sword blossomed like a beautiful flower in the middle of a group of Korean players. Her beauty contained boundless killing intent as she unleashed another wave of white light.
Hellfire pressed his sword against a Korean warrior's chest and nailed him to the ground. At the same time, he shouted, "Rock Thrust!"
A large number of stone spikes flew up from the ground and created countless white lights. Hellfire rose to his feet and unleashed another Sword Energy. The Sword Energy of Zephyr killed countless noobs again!
Seven-Star Lamp slashed at his opponents one by one. At the same time, he laughed. "Rise, my new underling!"
The corpses of the players who had just been killed weren't even on cooldown yet. They were summoned into skeletons and pounced on their former comrades. Seven-star Lamp's Undead Summoning skill was pretty good.
Solitary Grave was even braver than the rest. He charged into a group of enemies and stabbed left and right, his sword radiating a faint draconic aura. After a while, his HP dropped below 50%. His eyes glowed with a terrifying light as he shouted, "Hellfire! Scholar! Save me!!"
Hellfire went to the rescue while I ordered Ling Er to cast a Meteor Storm. That way, Solitary Grave would be safe.
Suddenly, a snow-white lotus exploded in the middle of the crowd. It was none other than the Ice Whirlwind Sword, but not Ling Xue. It was the other Snow Swordsman, Hong Lingwu. Hong Lingwu was surrounded, but she was fighting fiercely. Every time she swung her sword, she bit down on her lips. Every time she swung her sword, it was as if she could take a life. However, she didn't have much HP left.
It was at this moment a cyan whirlwind appeared in the middle of the crowd. It was the Shadow Follower. He chuckled and said, "Xiao Wu, are you having fun?"
Hong Lingwu replied with a smile, "I'm so happy that I could die …"
I was puzzled. "Why do these two look like a couple?"
… …
White Cloud City's ferocious assault had scared the Korean players out of their wits. However, we were outnumbered, and our HP was dropping rapidly under the barrage of arrows and magic. Thankfully, almost all of us had Immortal-grade equipment, so we were tankier than the rest. Otherwise, we would've died a long time ago.
Solitary Grave ran over to me and asked, "Scholar, we don't have a priest to heal us. What should we do?"
"Drink a health potion. What else can we do!?"
I gulped down a super large health potion and glared at him.
"That's true. Fuck, why aren't the priests here yet …"
Of course, priests couldn't ride a horse, so they were running very slowly behind us.
It wasn't long before our priests and mages arrived. Ling Xue retreated and allowed Qin Yun and Snow Sight Grass to heal us. Bing Cha and I could tank them for a little while longer.
Ling Yue released the Dark Dragon into the sky and then stuck close to my back. She lightly waved her staff and a large-scale spell bloomed. An ice and snow whirlpool was a magnificent sight. The spells fell into the crowd and the low-level Korean noobs were immediately abused to the point where they wished they were dead. They lost all ability to fight in the ice and snow whirlpool and could only wait for death. This was the consequence of having a lower level than the enemy.
Qin Yun moved quickly and healed herself. Just as she was about to walk toward me, a shadow suddenly snuck past her. It was a stealthy assassin!
"Watch out, Qin Yun!" I warned.
Qin Yun smiled faintly. She pretended not to notice the other party's existence and continued walking forward. That stupid Thief was also an idiot. How could a Level 192 Holy Priest not see through a Level 170 Assassin's Stealth?
Just as the Assassin was about to launch a sneak attack, Qin Yun suddenly waved her staff. A holy sword fell from the sky and directly slashed the Assassin's head. After the poor guy received a "30995" damage, he was pinned to the ground by the Holy Light Slash!
"Hehe, this stupid thief …" Ling Xue chuckled. She came to Qin Yun's side and protected her as she moved forward.
More and more White Cloud City players were arriving, and they were slowly gaining the upper hand.
It was at this moment Ling Yue pointed behind her and smiled. "They're finally here!"
I turned around and gasped in shock.
On top of the hill in the General Canyon, a large group of black dots swarmed over. They were the main force of the White Cloud City players. There were at least a million of them, enough to fill up the entire General Canyon!
"Attack!"
At the front of the main force, a young general in white robes charged down the mountain. It was none other than our Snow Moon's new expert, Guardian Of Swordfire. His level wasn't low, and he was strong enough to hold his own.
White Cloud City players flooded into the valley like a tidal wave, and the white players of the Korean server were forced to retreat. It was only a matter of time before they were all killed.
Battle Soul Proud Heaven was in high spirits, and after he met up with Soul Battle Robes' main force, he led his subordinates to attack again. Dragon Soul and Judging Sky also led Snow Moon's players to attack the right flank. Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time led a group of Dreams of Snow Moon players to flank the left flank under Bing Cha's signal.
Solitary Grave was the calmest of them all. He and Hellfire rode across the battlefield and observed their surroundings.
I moved closer to him and asked, "What are you thinking about, uncle?"
"I'm wondering where the entrance to the Mausoleum of Generals is."
Solitary Grave frowned deeply. "The Korean players haven't dispersed yet, which means they haven't found the entrance yet."
Ling Yue walked up to me from behind and said with a smile, "Shall we start searching then?"
"Mn."
Ling Xue canceled her mount form and pulled my hand. She smiled and said, "Come on down, come on down …"
I immediately summoned my Blazing Warhorse and stood next to Ling Xue. I asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. This way, big sis doesn't have to look up and talk to us."
Damn, this girl is so considerate of her big sis.
Solitary Grave shot Ling Xue a glance before smiling meaningfully. "Long time no see, Ling Xue. How have you been?"
Ling Xue smiled softly. "Other than that one time I almost lost my life, everything is fine."
Lonely Grave obviously knew that Ling Xue and I had met with danger. He laughed and said, "Sometimes, it's hard to explain things clearly in this world. Since you and the scholar were able to escape from danger, you should cherish the time that you have together. Youngsters, you might not know how precious every second is when you are together."
I looked at Solitary Grave and saw a trace of sadness in his eyes. He was saying this with the tone of an experienced man. It looked like he was an old man with a story to tell!
Ling Xue saw that Solitary Grave was sad, but she didn't say anything. She just smiled and said, "You're right, uncle."
… …
I turned around and said to Ice Tea, "Gather a group of high level Archers from Dream of Returning Snow Moon and the main guild. We also need some high level Mages. It would be best if there are five hundred of them!"
Bing Cha didn't understand. "What for?"
I sucked in a deep breath. "To hell with Brave Heart …"
"..."
Bing Cha asked, "Why are you so sure that she'll come back?"
I shook my head. "I'm not sure, but if it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept the fact that I was killed in that situation. I would've looked for an opportunity to attack again. Also, we just massacred the French players in Rattan Town. Brave Heart will definitely come to us for revenge. They're in cahoots with the Koreans, so it'd be strange if they didn't come looking for trouble."
"Alright, I understand."
Ling Xue asked, "Brave Heart, is this woman very strong?"
"Mn."
"How is she compared to me?"
"Much stronger than you …"
"..."
Ling Xue was dealt a blow, but she quickly got over it and said with a smile, "It's nothing. We have the numbers, so we can crush her with our numbers …"
I nodded. "Yeah!"
Actually, that was what I meant. If I could use my [Flying Flame Dragon] again, I wouldn't be afraid of her. However, I had to wait for 24 hours before I could summon the Fire Dragon again. During this time, if Brave Heart came looking for us, we would have to rely on the power of the [Stun Arrow] to kill her. After all, Brave Heart didn't have a [Domain Shield], so she wouldn't be able to use extreme tactics like mine.
Everyone searched everywhere for the entrance to General Mausoleum, but they couldn't find it. There wasn't even a trace of it. The system kept us in suspense for too long!
The battle continued, and the Korean players in General Valley were all wiped out by 4 pm. But not long after, a system announcement appeared —
Ding ~!
System Announcement (Player Hellfire Shout): Everyone, be careful!
The Korean server has gathered over twenty thousand high-level players, and over thirty thousand high-level French players have appeared in Silver Sword Town. They will soon counterattack, and they will probably arrive at General Valley in an hour. Everyone, please prepare for battle!
… …
As expected, they've come!
Although they only have fifty thousand people, they can't be underestimated. After all, they are all first-rate experts. Once they gain the upper hand, the middle-tier players will swarm them, and our White Cloud City will collapse!
"Brothers above Level 170, follow me and prepare for battle!"
Solitary Grave shouted, and we immediately moved out. There were over a million players, so it wasn't a problem to pick a few tens of thousands of Level 170 players.
At this moment, Solitary Grave became the commander of the frontlines. Be it in terms of experience or seniority, he was the best.
A large group of people gathered at the edge of the valley. The battlefield looked very bleak, and the aura of death permeated the air. The cold gleam of swords and blades was shocking.
Suddenly, a dragon roar came from the top of the mountain. Everyone immediately looked up, and almost everyone let out a cry of surprise —
"A Two-headed Dark Dragon!"
Brave Heart, the fierce French girl, had finally arrived.
