"Fighting Spirits, that idiot!!"
I abruptly turned around and heard the screams of the Dragonlight Cavalry coming from the forest. My heart trembled. More than 3000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen had been ambushed, and they were basically dead.
Gui Guzi lowered his Ghost Blade Halberd and spurred the Dark Crystal Dragon forward. His eyes were as wide as saucers as he said, "The elders really did set up an ambush in the forest. Fuck, we can't just watch them die!"
Gui Guzi raised his arm and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, follow me! We're going to save Fighting Spirits and the others!"
Chaos Moon was furious. "Bullshit! There are traps everywhere! Are we supposed to walk into a mine just like that?
Wang Xu, can't you be smarter? "
Li Chengfeng killed a couple of Horned Beast Cavalrymen from afar before nodding. "Yes, don't be rash. It's not that we don't want to save them, it's just that we'll be stuck if we go in."
Heaven's Rain looked at me. "Vice leader big bro, what should we do?"
I was the highest ranking official in the guild, so my words were the final order. However, it was true that we would still fall into an ambush if we rashly went in.
… …
Left with no other choice, I pointed a finger in the direction of the hall and said, "Gui Guzi, Heaven's Rain, Diamond Dust, activate Knight God's General. Take 10000 people with you and follow me. I want you to follow the path I'm taking. I have Dark Pupils, so don't make any reckless moves!"
“！”
Everyone leaped onto their mounts and raised their swords. I stood on the halo of the Ancient Divine Dragon and led the group toward the edge of the forest. I scanned the area with Dark Pupils and found that there were at least a dozen or so traps hidden in the forest. Therefore, I took the lead and raised my arm. A cyan divine weapon fell from the sky and exploded the ground. A lightning trap had been detonated by the Dragon Slaying Slash. This was a lot easier because I only needed 50 MP to destroy a trap that would take an eighth-promotion assassin 10 minutes. Very good!
Lightning, wind blades, fire and all sorts of other traps were reduced to dust by my Dragon Slaying Slash. The assassins hiding in the dark stared at me in shock, but they couldn't do anything about it. I kept switching between my Dark Pupils, and it had a very high chance of seeing through an assassin's stealth. It was an assassin's natural enemy.
"He's here!"
The grass rustled as an assassin suddenly leapt out of the forest. His dagger gleamed with a cold light as it stabbed towards Heaven's Rain's chest. Heaven's Rain was still a girl who hadn't even reached the age of 20, so there was no way she could endure the humiliation of being stabbed in the chest. She immediately leaned back and knocked away the assassin's dagger with her spear. Then, she followed up with a Thousand Ton Break. The assassin's body was instantly torn apart like a leaf — "340980!"
The disparity in strength was simply too great. Furthermore, Heaven's Rain had activated her Knight General, which increased her Attack and Defense by 100%. Her equipment was also at the Immortal-grade at the very least. A normal assassin would not be able to pose much of a threat to Heaven's Rain in her current state.
Diamond Dust and the rest of the Dragonlight Cavalrymen galloped past like lightning. Their swords sliced through the necks of assassins in the forest like they were nothing more than dry weeds and rotten wood. They didn't encounter any resistance at all.
Boom, boom, boom...
After dozens of traps were destroyed by the Dragon Slaying Slash, I activated Dark Pupils again. After confirming that there were no more traps, I pointed my sword forward and said, "Alright, there are no more traps here. Let's charge in and uproot Eternal Hall's camp! Since Eternal Hall insists on following Candle Dragon, we'll let them know the price they have to pay! If we want to destroy Candle Dragon completely, we'll have to take out their right-hand men first!"
Inside the forest, the players of Eternal Hall could no longer endure this humiliation!
Clang, clang, clang...
The sound of swords being unsheathed rang out as the guild leader of Eternal Hall, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, appeared at the edge of the forest with a flaming blade in hand. He shouted, "All riders, follow me and charge at Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' cavalry! Archers, use Shock Arrow and High Shot! Mages, use Divine Devil Burst! There is no invincible cavalry that can't destroy us! Charge with me and annihilate them!"
The sound of horses galloping grew louder as at least a hundred thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen launched an attack on Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Even though we were outnumbered, I had absolute confidence in our victory. The ten thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen behind me were buffed by Knight God and Knight General, so their DPS and Defense were top-notch. Even if Eternal Hall was on the decline, we could still win even if we had to fight ten of them alone!
Both sides clashed in the blink of an eye, and a melee battle broke out in the forest. Heaven's Rain and Diamond Dust were leading the charge as they spread open their bloody wings and unleashed their S-rank Ancient Divine Skills, Tiger Wing Slash and Hound God Slash. They split into two and landed in the middle of the enemy cavalry, greatly boosting their morale. However, the arrows and magic storm that rained down from above were just too much for them to handle. The Dragonlight Cavalrymen were stunned one after another and turned into sitting ducks for the enemy. Even worse, Divine Devil Burst's Divine Devil Burst was so powerful that it dealt over 150k damage to the Dragonlight Cavalrymen.
There were melee players like me who had the 20% lifesteal effect, but those with lifesteal were few and far between, and those with 20% lifesteal were even rarer. It didn't take long before everyone succumbed to the Dragonlight Cavalrymen. Heaven's Rain swam around the edge of the forest and fired Thousand Ton Breaks at them. At the same time, she shouted at me, "Vice leader big bro, this won't do! Their ranged players are having too much fun!"
"Okay, got it …" I nodded.
I used my avatar and the Phantom Wolf King to hold off a large group of Temple Knights while I leaped into the air. My Ancient Divine Dragon Armor was incredibly powerful, and my Ghostspirit War Boots slammed into the ground like a spirit ape. The Scorching Cloak on my back glowed red as I appeared right in front of the enemy's archers and mages. A very skilled archer immediately cried out in shock, "Fuck, that … Lu Chen's here!"
"Buzz!"
I raised my sword high into the air and unleashed Xuanyuan Slash. A deep trench appeared in the forest as it cleaved through the trees. Screams of pain filled the air. There was no way mages and archers could withstand Xuanyuan Slash's damage. It was an SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, and even heavy-armor players would have a hard time blocking it, let alone cloth-armor and leather-armor players.
After Xuanyuan Slash, I raised Coldness of the Nine States and activated Death Skill without hesitation. A whirlpool of death energy spun rapidly, and all enemy players within 1000 yards of me lost 50% of their HP in an instant. Candle Dragon, Temple Knights, Throne Seeker and more were already on my enemy list, so there was no chance that they would accidentally kill me.
Thud thud thud...
My war boots stepped on the muddy ground of the forest as I moved horizontally and unleashed 19 Ancient Seals in a row. In the blink of an eye, 19 Ancient Seals rained down on a group of enemies and plunged a long stretch of the forest into a deathly silence. All the Temple Knights in this area had been killed, and the Xuanyuan Art had taken away 50% of their HP. Coupled with the Ancient Seals, there was no way any of our ranged players could survive.
Holding Coldness of the Nine States, I charged forward without any hesitation. I swung Ten Thousand Absolute Sword, Summon the Wind and Summon the Rain, Thousand Ice Slash, and other skills continuously. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, it was as if I was invincible. For a time, the tens of thousands of players in the hall couldn't stop me.
There was a flash of light in the night as the Giant God Xing Tian appeared. It was the effect of the Ancient Divine Skill, Oppose the Heavens. The light of his battle axe tore through a group of enemies as High Fighting Spirits and several hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen with him. When he saw me from afar, he shouted, "Lu Chen has come to our rescue! Brothers and sisters, let's meet up with the vice leader and slap these bastards in the face!"
Up in the sky, Gui Guzi's Dark Crystal Dragon was circling in the air, and his Ghost Blade Halberd was raining halberd beams down on a group of players. Countless corpses were left in their wake. In the distance, Heaven's Rain, Diamond Dust, and Chaos Moon were working together to kill Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch. The last hit from Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was Chaos Moon's Greedy Wolf Howl, stealing tens of thousands of gold from him. Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was a rich man, so he definitely had a lot of gold on him. Chaos Moon loved fat sheep like him.
… …
I didn't need to worry too much about the main battlefield since Li Chengfeng was in charge. There weren't many Candle Dragon players left, and Li Chengfeng Alliance's crazy counterattack meant that Candle Dragon was running out of luck.
We fought from midnight until dawn, and when the sun was shining brightly on the land, the mountains were littered with the bodies of Hall of Eternity's players. Of the 10k elite Dragonlight Cavalrymen I had brought with me, only 3700 were left. Based on my initial calculations, we had killed at least 400k Hall of Eternity and Throne Seeker players at the cost of 6200 + Dragonlight Cavalrymen. Candle Dragon's allies on the perimeter had been crushed, and there was nothing they could do to turn the situation around.
Gripping Coldness of the Nine States, I stepped lightly on the hard rock and returned to the main battlefield. In the distance, Li Chengfeng's Cyan Crystal Dragon was wreaking havoc in the air while Candlelight Shadow and God's Dance were being surrounded in a corner of the city. Warsky Alliance wasn't the only one attacking them, Purple Lily and Peach Garden had joined in as well. There was no helping it. As the main guilds of Wind City, Purple Lily and Peach Garden had a deep grudge against Candle Dragon. They didn't care if Warsky had the City Lord's Token or not.
… …
"Boss, we can't stop them …"
Ye Yuse was covered in wounds and holes. She frowned and said, "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is still behind us, so we can't force our way through. Why don't we retreat for now and find a chance to steal the City Lord Token later? If we all die here, everything will be over."
Candlelight Shadow pondered for a moment before pulling Ye Yuse onto his mount. Then, he retreated toward the mountain ridge with his tens of thousands of defeated players.
Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi didn't give up. The two high-level Dragon Knights chased after Candlelight Shadow and bombarded him with skills. Candlelight Shadow had to cover Ye Yuse's retreat, so he was blasted into the thorny mountain ridge as well.
"Bang!"
Dirt flew into the air as the thorny thorns stabbed into his body. Candlelight Shadow let out a scream of pain as his HP dropped from 7% to 3%. Even his Fire Dragon had disappeared with a howl. Even a Dragon Knight would run out of mount tenacity in a battle against the Dragonlight Cavalry.
“MD！”
Candlelight Shadow struggled to his feet, but he suddenly shuddered. A sharp blade had pierced through his chest, and he had lost his last 3% HP.
Thud!
When Candlelight Shadow fell to his knees, a familiar face appeared behind him.
