"Vice leader, please add me to your party. Fans like to read:!" Legendary Brave said loudly.
I quickly approved their requests. After that, Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Xu Yang and the other core experts all accepted their requests. I was a fourth-promotion player, so I could only form a party of 19 people at most. Even though it wasn't a lot, it was still a party of first-rate experts and Martial God's 75% Encourage!
… …
"Crack!"
Farewell Song suddenly appeared next to the dragon warrior like a ghost and swung his dagger at an angle. Blade Vortex started to wreak havoc, but Legendary Brave's expression turned serious. He chuckled and turned around. He drew an irregular semicircle under his feet and swung his sword at Farewell Song's back like a venomous snake!
"Hmph!"
Farewell Song hurriedly retreated, but before he could get far, Legendary Brave suddenly raised his hand and roared. A giant cyan dragon rose from beneath Farewell Song's feet!
Dragon Soaring Technique!
It was a single-target, long-range magic attack skill. It looked a little similar to my Dragon Slaying Slash!
“3498！”
Farewell Song's HP instantly dropped to zero. He hurriedly retreated and scattered fluorescent powder into the air. Legendary Brave didn't linger either. He charged into the crowd and killed to his heart's content.
On the other side, High Fighting Spirits charged into the crowd with his battle axe. His axe split the ground and a cyclone appeared around him. It was a circular attack — Xiezhi Howl!
Thud thud thud!
The Warsky Alliance players around him were all killed by Xiezhi Howl. High Fighting Spirits' Attack was pretty good now, and since we grinded bosses all day long, it was only a matter of time before we got the equipment we needed.
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun charged at the very front and threw out a Rock Smash, forcing Warsky into a retreat. However, Warsky wasn't a pushover either. He quickly counterattacked and launched a three-hit combo, forcing Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun to back off. Xu Yang immediately filled in the gap and forced Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun back several steps. He roared, "Warsky!
Enraged, Warsky swung his sword wildly. Xu Yang and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun were fighting Warsky in a 2v1, but Warsky was still able to hold his own!
…
It wasn't long before the entire hill was occupied by Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. No matter how fierce Warsky Alliance's offense was, they couldn't hold on any longer. The main force of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was here, and Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits and more had joined my party. 75% Encourage was just too powerful, and Warsky Alliance's frontlines couldn't stop it at all!
Thousands of Warsky Alliance players had already set up their formation on the plains. The frontline was a thick layer of heavily-armored players, and the rear was full of archers and mages. It was obvious that they were going to fight us with the ultimate power of Sky City on the plains!
I looked behind me. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had also brought over 3000 people. It was more than enough to fight!
Everyone in Warsky Alliance's party had joined the frontlines. They were the strongest defenders, and Warsky Alliance's frontlines included Warsky, Laughing At The Heavens, and the others. Both sides were destined to fight on this battlefield.
…
Xu Yang raised his sword and smiled, "The moment has finally come. Warsky Alliance has always wanted to compete with Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and it looks like their wish has finally come true, right?"
"Heh!"
I smiled and pointed my sword at the frontlines. I shouted, "Priests, make sure to heal the frontlines! We're going to slowly advance! Beiming Xue, activate Firing Range and organize the archers to use Volley to disrupt the enemy's formation!"
The smart Dark Archer didn't even wait for my order. She had already formed a party of 10 high-level archers, and after activating Firing Range, their attack range was increased by 25%. It was a preemptive strike. Fans of the novel also loved to read: Far Shot!
"Get ready, Far Shot!"
A group of archers drew their bows and fired at the enemy when they were about 70 yards away. Their bowstrings twanged, and a dense rain of arrows rained down on the enemy's formation!
Bang bang bang...
The shields of the magic knights at the frontlines buzzed from the impact, and even more arrows hit the heads of the frontline warriors. Some of the warriors with low HP were even one-shot!
Warsky parried an arrow with his sword and spat on the ground. Then, he shouted, "Get your spirits up and prepare to push forward! Today is the day we sweep through Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!"
As expected, Warsky Alliance's formation started to move slowly.
I smiled and raised the Heaven-stealing Sword. Then, I shouted, "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, charge! Kill them all!"
They were asking for a fight!
A group of several hundred warriors at the frontlines charged forward with glowing faces. I activated Thunderous Charge when I was a little further away from the enemy!
Swhoosh!
A Level 93 warrior in front of me was stunned by a thunderbolt. Before the priests could heal him, I slashed his shoulder with Desperate Gambit!
“5892！”
I followed up with a lightning-fast attack and one-shot him!
Not far away from me, He Yi was also charging toward me. Her beautiful guild leader's cloak fluttered in the wind, and the frontline warriors were practically drooling at the sight of her. The warrior at the very front was only 1 yard away from He Yi, and when he saw her beautiful face up close, he immediately felt like he was walking on air!
He Yi didn't hesitate to attack. Her Soul Stealing Spear trembled, and Green Wave Slash exploded among the crowd!
Boom! Fans of the novel also loved to read: Far Shot!
“4858！”
“5083！”
“4875！”
… …
A string of damage numbers flew above the enemy's head. Thanks to Martial God, He Yi's Attack was ridiculously high. The frontline warriors of Warsky Alliance dropped to low health, and the mages, priests, tamers and archers at the back were one-shot. Green Wave Slash had a range of 40 yards, and this kind of powerful attack was enough to make a lot of people drool.
Legendary Brave, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Chaos Moon, and the rest of the Warsky Alliance players also joined the fray and swung their weapons wildly, causing the enemy's shields to ring. Even worse, many of them had AoE skills like Dragon Warrior's Reverse Scale Slash, High Fighting Spirits' Xiezhi Howl, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's Rock Smash. All of these skills exploded into dazzling flashes of light at the same time, causing the Warsky Alliance players to gape in shock.
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was no longer the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls it used to be. The current Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was filled with experts, and there were at least 10 first-rate experts among us. Beiming Xue, Legendary Brave, and I were all super-tier or even peak experts.
Normally, a guild only needed one peak expert to serve as a pillar and soul leader, but Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had more than one. Therefore, our strength was in no way inferior to Warsky Alliance's three CGL Hall of Famers!
… …
Spells and arrows rained down like a swarm of locusts. Both sides fought fiercely, and the frontline players fell to the ground one after another. Even my armor was charred black by the arrows and magic. In less than a minute, I had lost nearly half of my HP. Even with my recovery and Defense, I was still in such a state, much less the others.
Wolf Fang, Alexander, and the rest of the warriors were dead and running away from their corpses. The battlefield was chaotic, and both sides were attacking each other with everything they had.
He Yi stuck close to me so that we could cover each other's backs, but it also made us the center of attention. The mages at the back of Warsky Alliance shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Look! From Water and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand are over there! The guild leader and vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are over there! Let's kill them all! Fans love to read:!"
The enemy mages' feet were covered in a sea of flames, and meteors and ice were raining down from above. White wind blades danced among the crowd like a dance of death. It felt so good to be at the center of the battlefield!
Behind us, Murong Mingyue was commanding a large group of priests to heal me and He Yi. Miraculously, the two of us were able to hold off the enemy's main force and fight to our hearts' content!
… …
"Eve!" I called out.
"Hmm?" He Yi tilted her head and looked at me. "What is it?"
"Did you notice that October Rain is gone …"
"Oh, yeah. She was exchanging shots with Lil Beiming just now. Where did she go …"
My heart sank, and I immediately said in the party channel, "Quick, everyone, contact your subordinates and scout out October Rain's position. We can't let that girl take advantage of us no matter what!"
… …
A few minutes later, Gui Guzi shouted, "Fuck, I got it. October Rain is flanking us from the flank with 400 or so Warsky Alliance players. She's planning to pincer us from both sides. This woman is so cunning …"
I smiled. "Little Gui, you and Thirteen will lead some brothers to intercept October Rain. Don't give her any chances!"
"Got it!"
It wasn't long before a small skirmish broke out on the plains to the flank.
… …
The desert plains were littered with corpses. It took almost an hour or so before Warsky Alliance could no longer hold on. Almost all of their frontline fighters had been killed by us, and Legendary Brave and I dealt the most damage. Reverse Scale Slash and Thousand Ice Slash were lethal skills, and our Attack was high enough to strike fear into the hearts of Warsky Alliance's fighters.
The halo of the CGL Hall of Famer didn't shine as brightly as it did in a battle like this. Laughing At The Heavens, October Rain and Farewell Song might be able to take on ten enemies at once, but they were forced to retreat if there were too many of them. Farewell Song especially. He appeared behind our formation like a ghost and killed a lot of our mages and archers. In the end, Beiming Xue dragged him out and turned him into a porcupine.
Warsky gripped his bloodstained sword and growled, "Retreat to the inner perimeter! Hmph, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls will be in for a treat!
Dead comrades, revive as soon as you can! "
It wasn't long before Warsky Alliance started retreating.
… …
Staring at the distant core, Beiming Xue said calmly, "Warsky has changed his mind and decided to protect the Desert Giant King because he can't annihilate us in this battle …"
Gui Guzi smiled. "You want to kill the boss?
Dream on! The boss belongs to our 20-man party, don't you think so, Boss Broken Halberd? "
I nodded. "You're wrong. The boss is ours!"
"Hahaha!"
Now that we had a new target, we continued the chase!
… …
Suddenly, a shout came from behind us. It was Du Thirteen. "Fuck, split up and come back! Hegemon Palace has appeared behind us! This is bad!"
My heart sank as I cursed on the inside. Did Hegemon Palace really make an unspeakable agreement with Warsky Alliance? Hegemon Palace's appearance at this time?
