Xu Yang: "Finally, the third territory of Sky City has appeared. This is going to be interesting …"
High Fighting Spirits: "What do we do?
Are you going to help The Monarch Descends conquer the third territory? "
Gui Guzi: "This new territory is in the west, and both our and Snowy Cathaya's territories are in the east. The distance is too great, and even if we give it to The Monarch Descends, I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold it for long. Also, Lu Chen made a bet with Warsky on the third territory to help us stabilize the situation, so we can't go back on our word. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' players are not allowed near the third territory no matter what …"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun said, "Isn't that simple? Just send all of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' elites to Bloody Mercenaries, and then have Bloody Mercenaries help them attack the city. Book fans like to read the book, too."
Li Chengfeng vetoed the idea. "That's too obvious. Bloody Mercenaries is part of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. If we do that, the players of Sky City will point at us and say that we're sore losers.
Um, Lu Chen?
What good idea do you have? You must have a plan, right? "
I nodded. "Yeah, but it's too unrealistic to use Bloody Mercenaries to fight Warsky Alliance. In my opinion, there are a few roads leading to the western region, but we won't go there. Instead, we'll form a blockade around the perimeter of the western region and send our two main guilds and eight subguilds there. If we see any Warsky Alliance players at the perimeter of the western region, we'll kill them all. Warsky is shameless enough to go back on his word and challenge the ASUS e-sports club, so we'll give him a taste of his own medicine. We'll kill Warsky Alliance players at the perimeter of the western region and shut him down!"
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Alright, I like this strategy. Warsky won't be able to say anything bad about us if we kill Warsky Alliance's players at the perimeter. Moreover, this will greatly reduce the pressure on The Monarch Descends and Snowy Cathaya to claim the third territory. Tsk tsk, Lu Chen always comes up with such a stupid strategy …"
Me: "Fuck …"
…
After that, I opened up my friend list, found Gui Guzi, and sent him a message: [Little Gui, how's the preparation going? How's the situation in Cyan Tiger Forest? Can everyone join the battle?]
"En!"
Gui Guzi swiftly replied, "Boss Broken Halberd, almost ten thousand of us have taken over this leveling ground as fast as we can. I've even transferred some high-level riders from the subguilds to the main guild. We've finally gathered a 3097 Cyan Tiger Cavalry! Hehe, they're definitely elites!"
Xu Yang, Li Chengfeng, and the others will gather at the edge of the forest below the western gate of Sky City. These three thousand Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen are incredibly fast, so you'll be the one to command them. You guys head there first and set up an ambush in the forest to the west. Send out more assassins to scout out the coordinates of Warsky Alliance's main forces while Li Chengfeng and I lead the non-mounted players over. This time, we can't let The Monarch Descends down. It'll be hard to meet such a reliable ally again in the future.
"Mn, got it. I won't disappoint Boss Broken Halberd or Beauty Ling Xueshang!"
"Okay, let's go!"
…
After I made some arrangements in the guild, I looked up and saw Lin Yixin and Cute Little Naughty staring at me with wide, beautiful eyes.
"How is it? What are Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' movements?"
Lin Yixin replied with a smile, "Ling Xueshang contacted me just now. She's very conflicted. She really wants the third territory, but she's hesitant because it's too far away from our two territories. If we're attacked, we won't be able to send reinforcements in the shortest amount of time possible. The west territory isn't part of our three great guilds' territory after all. Usually, only guilds like Warsky Alliance, Mad Dragon, and Gods of Destruction grind there."
I pursed my lips and said, "Forget it, let's just go. Even if we can't take the third territory, we can't let Warsky Alliance get it so easily. The best case scenario is to prevent Warsky Alliance from getting the third territory. Warsky is too smart, and with October Rain's help, they'll be like a tiger that has grown wings if they get the third territory. They'll be a huge threat to our other guilds."
"Mn. I've already ordered Snowy Cathaya's main guild and a few subguilds to gather their forces and prepare to head to the west with The Monarch Descends. What do you think of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' strategy?"
"We'll be going too!"
"Okay!"
Cute Little Naughty held her dagger in one hand and rested the other on her waist. She looked at me with a smile. "Big brother Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, we've just joined Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and we've encountered such a huge problem before we even joined the guild. Isn't this our chance to shine?"
I glanced at them and smiled awkwardly. "You guys … ahem, your equipment and levels aren't good enough. Are you going to be cannon fodder in a large-scale war like this?
I'll add you guys to the main guild first and wait until you're strong enough. If Naughty is the leader of a subguild, you'll have plenty of chances. "
"Oh, I see. Alright, but we still want to go and watch. We want to see a clash between a super guild like Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Warsky Alliance!"
"Mn, it's always good to watch!"
"Mn mn!"
Cute Little Naughty nodded hurriedly. Then, she looked at Lin Yixin and smiled. "How old is Sister Fantasy in real life?
You look so young … "
Lin Yixin smiled. "21 years old. What's wrong, Naughty?"
"Oh, so young. I'm 19 years old. Heehee, Sister Fantasy, do you know who my favorite three CGL Hall of Famers are?"
"Which three?" Lin Yixin asked curiously.
Cute Little Naughty said with great familiarity, "I like big brother Falling Dust. He's very strong, and rumors say that Falling Dust didn't give up on his promise to protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls even though he lost to Candlelight Shadow. Any girl would have no regrets if they had a man like him to protect them. Also, I like big sister Fantasy even more. I think you're the strongest female player in the China server right now!"
Lin Yixin smiled sweetly. "Oh, and the third one?"
Cute Little Naughty bit her lips with yearning in her eyes. "The third one is also my favorite CGL Hall of Famer, Sister Moonkiss. She's the strongest female assassin in China, and she grows very quickly. My dream has always been to become a top-tier assassin like Moonkiss."
I smiled. "Don't worry, Little Naughty. One day, you'll become as good as Moonkiss. Maybe one day, Moonkiss will become a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls as well. Hehe, when that time comes, no one will dare to say that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls doesn't have any assassins. Everyone else, just watch!"
Lin Yixin shot me a glance. "Alright, we can talk about recruiting Moonkiss another time. Right now, I have to return to the city. The guild members must head there immediately, or Warsky Alliance will beat us to it."
"Mn, okay!"
… …
I added Cute Little Naughty, Green Mountain, and the others into the main guild. When they were all in, the main guild was full again. Fuck, every time I added someone, I'd have to kick them out. The limit of ten thousand players was too much of a pain in the ass.
I took out a return scroll and crushed it!
Swhoosh!
The moment I appeared in Sky City, I stopped thinking about anything else. I replenished my potions and repaired my equipment. Today was the day I reached Level 143. Now, it was time to fight to my heart's content!
Countless players were moving around Sky City. Some of them were heading to the west gate to plot their new territory, but most of them were going to buy potions, form parties, and grind. After all, the third territory was something that everyone had come to understand. In the minds of Sky City players, Warsky Alliance, Hegemon Palace, and The Monarch Descends were the only guilds that could compete for the third territory. The rest of the guilds would only be cannon fodder if they tried, so why waste their time?
Just as he was about to leave, another system bell suddenly reverberated in the sky — Ding ~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch" has submitted a Vassal Decree. Representing his guild "Hall of Immortality" and its allies "Rose of the Holy Domain" and "Throne Seeker", they have initiated a raid on "Dark Moon City", a territory owned by Sky City, "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls". If all Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players in the territory are killed within 10 hours, Dark Moon City will belong to Hall of Immortality!
… …
"Fuck …"
I sucked in a breath of cold air. When it rains, it pours. How did things turn out like this?
The three guilds of Vanished God City were working together to attack Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' Dark Moon City?
It happened so quickly that most of the players in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls didn't know what to do. The guild channel was in an uproar — Li Chengfeng was furious. "Fucking bastards! They're using a Vassal Decree at a time like this! They're clearly trying to stop Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls from interfering in the battle for the third territory!
Xu Yang said, "Hall of Immortality, Rose of the Holy Domain, and Throne Seeker are among the top ten guilds of Vanished God City, and almost every single one of them is far stronger than Dominating Heaven Blade's Gods of Destruction. They've been laying low for a long time, but now they're making a move against us. It's obvious that they're trying to take advantage of Dark Moon City's level!"
Gui Guzi snorted. "Fucking hell, they're dreaming!
Boss Broken Halberd, Boss Eve, and the other guild leaders have spent so many years building Dark Moon City, and they want it for themselves? Hmph, they'll have to do it over our dead bodies! "
Chaos Moon said, "I have a feeling that Warsky Alliance is the one who instigated these three guilds to attack Dark Moon City. It's probably October Rain's two-pronged strategy to tire us out and force us to give up one of the territories in Dark Moon City and the third territory. It's also possible that October Rain isn't planning to leave either territory for us in the first place. If that's the case, the combined strength of the three guilds in Vanished God City is terrifying."
Gui Guzi asked, "Boss Broken Halberd, what should we do now?"
I thought for a moment before saying solemnly, "Little Gui, your mission doesn't change. Lead everyone and continue to attack. Everyone else, teleport to Dark Moon City with me. We have to make sure that Dark Moon City doesn't fall. If we lose Dark Moon City, our efforts over the past month will all go to waste, and our hard-earned foothold in Sky City will be shaken."
Xu Yang, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
… …
Swhoosh!
I returned to Dark Moon City and stared at the Rank 6 undead castle. Mn, we can't let all of our hard work go to waste. This time, we must defend Dark Moon City even if we have to fight to the death!
