"Hong, everyone else, just watch as normal!"
There was a dragon's roar, and the ground cracked open. A cyan dragon burst out of the ground and devoured a powerful Hall of Immortality warrior in front of Du Thirteen. The warrior didn't know what was going on, but he just stood there as a huge damage number popped up above his head — 15092!
Dragon Vein Art!
This was the Ancient Sword Prodigy's Tactician, Lu Buyi's signature skill. After obtaining the Scorching Fan, Lu Buyi's Attack Power had greatly increased. His Dragon Vein had actually dealt so much damage that it was even stronger than the majority of Mages. When the Warrior raised his head and saw that a Tactician had dealt so much damage to him, he immediately felt like dying.
"Fuck, a little tactician dares to be so arrogant …"
The warrior flew into a rage and pounced toward Du Thirteen, but he was one-shot by a Barrier Break from Du Thirteen. On top of the city walls, a group of gorgeously dressed female players shouted excitedly, "Wow, the guild leader is so cool!"
Du Thirteen was overjoyed.
I was speechless. A leopard can't change its spots. I told him to lead Bloody Mercenaries well, and he was about to turn Bloody Mercenaries into his own pink army. I just didn't know if Mamate had fallen for him yet. Just thinking about it, his taste was really heavy.
… …
Li Chengfeng walked closer with a serious expression. He stared into the distance and said, "I can't believe a single Galaxy Breaker Spell left us in such a sorry state. Sigh, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls doesn't seem to have much of a threat except for Beiming Xue …"
I nodded. "Yeah. Candle Dragon has God's Dance, Snowy Cathaya has Shadow Chanel, Purple Lily has Luo River God of the Capital, and even Hall of Immortality has Galaxy Breaker Spell. Our mages … Moonlight Stone is still lacking a lot, but we can't rush them. Top-tier mages are hard to come by, so we'll take it one step at a time. Everyone else, just watch as normal."
Li Chengfeng grinned and said, "The main forces of the Hall of Immortality and the Rose of the Holy Domain are still alive. They have been attacking the western city wall for a long time, but we have held them back for a long time. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. Now, it will probably be a battle to the death. If they don't give it their all, we will still be the victors when the ten-hour time limit expires!"
"Yeah, that's why we have to hold on for the last four hours!"
"Mn!"
…
Thousands of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls warriors were guarding the city walls with their lives on the line. Above the city walls, a sea of long-range players was providing support. Hall of Immortality and Rose of the Holy Domain's main guild and subguilds had reorganized their attack formation after almost twenty minutes of rest and reorganization. They were still as powerful as ever, and there were more than two hundred thousand players on the western wall alone. They were waiting to deal the final blow to us.
On the other hand, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was in a very bad situation. We only had our main guild, Bloody Mercenaries, and eight subguilds. After several hours of intense fighting, we had lost more than 50% of our forces. Right now, we only had 30k + people left to defend the city. There were 8000 + warriors around the western wall and 5000 + long-range players on the city walls. This was our maximum strength. Our numbers didn't match up at all. Even with the protection of the city walls, we were at an absolute disadvantage. Even with the protection of the city walls, we were at an absolute disadvantage.
"They're here again …"
Gui Guzi spat out a mouthful of saliva as he gripped Rainbow. "As expected, they won't stop until one side is dead. There are so many of them this time, and they're swarming us. Boss Broken Halberd, are we going to defend to the death?
Or what should we do? "
I pondered for a moment before replying, "We probably won't be able to hold on much longer. Their siege weapon, the Wing Breaker, and the Thunder Chariots and catapults have all been taken out by us. All that's left are scaling ladders, siege towers, and other siege weapons. They won't pose much of a threat to us. How about this: I'll lead 6000 + foot riders to defend the city. Little Gui, you, Heaven's Rain, and You Yun will lead 1000 + Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen and charge out from the flanks. We'll circle around the enemy's perimeter and use the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen's high mobility to deal with Rose of the Holy Domain and Hall of Immortality."
Gui Guzi smiled cheerfully. "Alright, boss is wise!"
Heaven's Rain gripped her broadsword and smiled brightly. "Why do I feel like Big Brother Lu Chen is so smart and calm? You're so much more manly than Big Brother Little Gui …"
Gui Guzi replied helplessly, "I'm also very manly, alright? It's just that you haven't seen me smack someone with a brick before."
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun laughed. "That's right, that's right. That day when we were fighting for Xue Lu, Little Gui was smacked with a brick and fell asleep for an entire hour. If it weren't for Lu Chen's high resistance, Little Gui would've been sold to a brothel a long time ago …"
Gui Guzi grinned. "Fuck, I'll fight whoever dares to bring this up again!
Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen, follow me! We're going to carve out a bloody path to the outskirts of the city! "
After saying that, Gui Guzi raised his Rainbow high into the air and urged his mount forward. He led a large group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen and charged toward the weakest part of Rose of the Holy Domain's defense. There were only 2000 + players there, and under the lead of Gui Guzi and Heaven's Rain, they carved out a bloody path in no time. The Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen galloped forward and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Clang!
I unsheathed my Cyan Netherworld Sword and pointed it toward the front. With a smile, I said, "Brothers and sisters, this is our time to shine! Summon your courage and defend the honor and dignity of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Since Hall of Immortality and Rose of the Holy Domain dare to invade our home, then we will bury them beneath our walls with our blood and our swords!"
Everyone unsheathed their weapons and roared angrily as they prepared for battle.
The two guild leaders, Rose Thorn and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, stood in front of us with grim expressions on their faces. Rose Thorn swung her sword, and battle cries immediately shook the heavens and the earth. A group of Rose of the Holy Domain players swiftly broke through our defensive line and charged toward us through the rain of arrows and magic spells.
"Kill them!"
I swung my sword and charged toward them. When I was about thirty yards away from the city, I intercepted the enemy formation and took the lead. After freezing a group of warriors with Thousand Ice Slash, I swung my Burning Blade Slash and unleashed three fiery sword auras that exploded in the middle of a group of enemies. Fans of the book loved to watch: Attack!
I raised my arm and parried a series of arrows. Then, I thrust my sword forward and used Universe Break to kill a warrior who tried to Crush me. After that, I swung my sword horizontally. The blade of the Cyan Netherworld Sword was cold, and the cyan power of the dragon's soul swirled around the blade. Wherever it went, the enemy's armor would be sliced through. The enemy's warriors on the ground couldn't withstand my attack at all.
After all, Rose of the Holy Domain's Purple Thunder Cavalry and Hall of Immortality's Ghost Cavalry were their trump card legions, but we had already killed them. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they were no longer their trump cards. Therefore, our battle strength had decreased slightly. However, there were simply too many players on the enemy side. Arrows and Galaxy Storms were constantly raining down on us and biting us hard.
I spun my body and swung my sword wildly. Every time I killed an enemy, I healed my own HP. The 10% HP transfer from Blood Rage was pretty good. With my Attack and splash damage, I could deal at least 20000 damage per second in a chaotic battle. This meant that the Cyan Netherworld Sword's Blood Rage alone could heal me for 2000 HP every second. This kind of healing effect was amazing and blissful.
On the other side of the battlefield, Li Chengfeng spun around and turned his sword into a whirlwind that cut down countless enemies. The effect of Whirlwind Slash was beautiful and practical. When Li Chengfeng spun around and entered a group of enemies, he immediately turned his sword around and struck the enemy head on with a Reverse Scale Slash.
Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, and everyone else were doing everything they could. AoE skills like Rock Crush, Mountain Stagger Slash, Xiezhi Howl, and more exploded into the air. Every one of them looked like a hero. Not only did they intimidate the enemy, they also boosted our morale. When we were still fighting, we knew that there was still hope. The honor of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was being protected by our blood and sweat.
… …
Boom, boom, boom...
The barrage of magic and arrows grew fiercer and fiercer. The enemy had completely ignored our long-range attacks and rained arrows and spells on our fighters. Rose Thorn was even worse. She ordered her archers to shoot Far Shot at the top of the walls, making it difficult for Beiming Xue, Moonlight Stone, and the others to keep their footing. Our numbers were too small, our firepower was limited, and even our priests were limited. This kind of barrage was a huge loss for us. Everyone else was just watching.
A deafening battle cry rang out from the distance. Gui Guzi and Heaven's Rain had activated their Famous General Skills, Knight God and Knight General, and were leading a group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen in slaughtering the players directly behind them. Mages and archers looked incredibly weak in the face of the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen's iron hooves. They couldn't win against Knight God or Knight General, and they couldn't defend themselves either. All they could do was wait for their deaths as they were minced into meat paste.
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand elite Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen swept through the enemy like a whirlwind. Their Barrier Break skills flashed in the air, and Hall of Immortality's 3000 + long-range attackers were slaughtered by our cavalry. Not a single one of them was spared!
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch flew into a rage when he saw this. He raised his sword and shouted, "Men, go after the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen! These arrogant bastards! Motherfuckers!"
One of Hall of Immortality's subguilds immediately leaped onto his horse and led 5000 players toward the enemy. Gui Guzi cleverly waved his hand and retreated with his Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen. He lured the enemy to the edge of the forest and launched a counterattack. Even though he was outnumbered, he was confident that he could ignore the enemy's formation. The thousand elite Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen tore through the enemy's five thousand players and killed them all after four or five charges!
It was obvious that the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen were dead meat as long as the enemy's numbers weren't too OP. This was especially true when they were led by Knight God and Knight General. One boosted their Attack and Defense by 150%, while the other boosted their Attack and Defense by 100%. Both of them were OP, and their stats were boosted to a terrifying degree. There was no way a player of the same caliber could break through their Defense.
… …
The muscles on Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch's face twitched violently as he yelled angrily, "Goddammit, these hoodlums of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are too goddamned despicable!
Men, send the fourteenth to the nineteenth subguilds! We have over 34000 players in six subguilds! I refuse to believe that we can't drown out a measly one thousand cavalrymen! "
