The Armored Ice Qilin Horse let loose an earth-shattering neigh as it galloped into the distance like a sharp arrow. In less than half an hour, the Armored Ice Qilin Horse had already passed through three forests and two tall mountains before arriving at a scorching hot desert. The grass on the ground had been reduced to small patches, and the plants that grew on the ground were no longer connected to one another. Instead, the plants that grew on the ground had been replaced by giant rhinoceros horns, cacti, and desert roses, which were unique to the desert.
Whoosh whoosh …
The scorching wind blew against my face, and it hurt a little. Thankfully, the Armored Ice Qilin Horse gave off a thick, icy aura that cooled me down a little.
I looked into the distance and saw Desert Desert Wolves, Hell Hyenas and other mobs roaming the desert. They were all Level 150 + shadow-rank mobs, but they were no longer suitable for me to grind. As a Level 150 sixth-promotion player, I had to grind ancient mobs that were at least Level 170 +. Otherwise, the experience I gained would be too little.
A towering barbarian castle appeared at the edge of the desert. The barbarian castle was surrounded by dense forest, and it looked like an oasis. It was the perfect place for travelers to rest and rest in this scorching hot desert. This was also our destination, the Rank 3 city of Vanished God City and the encampment of Hall of Immortality, Immortality City!
Although Immortality City was only a Rank 3 barbarian castle, it was located in a remote area. To the north was the vast Vanished God Forest, and to the south was the scorching Yellowstone Desert. Moreover, there was a clear stream that flowed through the city all year round, providing abundant resources and high-level mobs. It was definitely a good place to grind. The potential value of this city was even greater than Stranger of Three Lifetimes' human castle, Red Lips Country.
The ground below the city was packed with players, and it was impossible to tell them apart from each other. There were players from Vanished God City, Sky City and even Wind City. Players from all three main cities could be seen here. After a series of guild wars, the players of Vanished God City who had been dormant for three days immediately grew restless.
… …
"Da da da …"
The Armored Ice Qilin Horse galloped into the forest at the edge of the forest like a bolt of lightning. A group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen appeared in the open space of the forest. They were the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen led by Gui Guzi, Heaven's Rain, Diamond Dust, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. After a period of rest and reorganization, the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen had once again expanded their ranks. Currently, there were nearly five thousand of them, and this was an extremely powerful force.
Gui Guzi's Knight God, Heaven's Rain and Diamond Dust's Knight Generals, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's Flying Generals, and now I was here as well. With the Martial God leading the charge, I could even summon a group of invincible cavalry. Mn, the strength of this army was enough to make any power in the China server tremble in fear!
"Boss, you're here?" Gui Guzi greeted him with a smile.
I nodded slightly.
"I heard that something unpleasant happened between you and Beauty Lin. Snowy Cathaya even refused to send troops to attack Hall of Immortality's Immortality City today," Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun said.
I pursed my lips and smiled. "It's nothing. There's no conflict between me and Yiyi. It's just that we ran into some trouble, but I'm sure it'll pass very quickly. Our alliance with Snowy Cathaya won't change either. They'll always be our friends."
My words immediately calmed everyone down. Heaven's Rain raised her broadsword and urged her Cyan Battle Tiger forward. After circling around me, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow, guild leader big bro, your mount looks really powerful. What rank and rank is it? Can you show it to us?"
I nodded. "Why not?"
As I said that, I waved my hand and the Armored Ice Qilin Horse's stats screen appeared in front of me. It lasted for about 15 seconds, and all the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen stared at it in shock. Heaven's Rain's mouth fell open. "OMG, this … this mount's stats are so powerful! It adds over 800 Strength and Stamina! It's so powerful! Our Cyan Battle Tigers are nothing compared to this Armored Ice Qilin Horse …"
Gui Guzi nodded in agreement. "Yeah, this Armored Ice Qilin Horse is so powerful that it's impossible to beat it. I heard that Lil Beiming traded her equipment for it?
Boss Broken Halberd, Lil Beiming also calls me Little Gui big bro, so why isn't she as nice to me as she is to me … "
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun laughed. "Who the hell do you think you are? You can't compare yourself to her."
Diamond Dust smiled gently as she urged her Cyan Battle Tiger forward. She giggled and said, "Lu Chen is Beiming's real big brother, Gui Guzi. Gui Guzi, you're just a fake brother."
Gui Guzi stood there speechlessly. "I'll have to work harder …"
… …
I looked into the distance and saw a huge amount of players galloping back and forth around Immortality City. I couldn't even tell which direction was which.
"What's the situation right now? It looks like someone's already attacking the city?" I asked suspiciously.
Gui Guzi nodded and pointed his spear at the edge of the city wall. "Immortality City might only be a Rank 3 territory, but it's attracted a lot of players. More than 40 guilds from Vanished God City alone have come to participate in the battle, and it looks like they're all hoping to reap some benefits. Although Baidicheng's Come See The Snow Tonight is the one who handed in the Vassal Decree, it's still possible to take over the city as long as they kill all the Baidicheng players in the territory and occupy the territory hall."
I nodded and looked into the distance. To my surprise, I saw a familiar face. A group of people had appeared behind a small hill, and their leader was a Level 137 Pillar of the Nation, the guild leader of Hegemon Palace. It had been a long time since I last saw him. Next to Pillar of the Nation was Little Piglet. He was clad in dark cyan armor and wielding a Whirlwind Sword. Behind him was an endless sea of Hegemon Palace players. By the looks of it, there were at least tens of thousands of them.
"Fuck, even Hegemon Palace is here?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Interesting. I didn't think that Immortality City would attract so many forces. Hall of Immortality's Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch must have a face that's annoying enough to attract so many people as soon as he got his territory."
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, the chief wanderer of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, walked to the front and said with a smile, "Hall of Immortality's original goal was to bide our time and keep a low profile while recruiting, developing, and grinding. But after the territory system was introduced, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch grew arrogant and made a lot of enemies. There are only a few guilds in Vanished God City that haven't been bullied by Hall of Immortality at some point in time.
Hmph hmph, I heard that Zero Pitch Sonata was annihilated multiple times by Hall of Immortality. Their guild leader couldn't take this lying down, so he contacted Candlelight Shadow and asked the Martial God to uphold justice for them. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any response so far. I wonder if Candlelight Shadow has any intentions of dealing with Hall of Immortality. "
Gui Guzi's lips curled into a smile as he said confidently, "There's no need to be suspicious. Candlelight Shadow has already decided to send his troops to Immortality City. A few hours ago, Candle Dragon issued a mobilization order, and their main guild and subguilds are gathering their forces. They're on their way right now. Candlelight Shadow isn't an idiot. He wants us to fight for five hours before he comes to clean up the mess."
Heaven's Rain blinked once before asking, "But why?
Why does Candlelight Shadow want to fight for Immortality City?
Isn't Candle Dragon's territory already Rank 6? "
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun sneered, "They're not fighting for territory. They're just trying to show off their might in Immortality City, that's all. Moreover, when they heard that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is going to participate in the war, there's no way they're going to sit by and do nothing. If I'm not mistaken, Candle Dragon might risk universal condemnation and help Hall of Immortality by attacking us!"
Heaven's Rain grew even more confused. "Why is that?"
Heaven's Rain was too young and too naive. She couldn't see through all of this at all. I smiled and explained, "Little Rain, there's something you don't know, but Candlelight Shadow knows very well who his biggest opponents are. They're Wind City's Purple Lily, and Sky City's Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya. Since Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has sent their troops, Candle Dragon will naturally take control of Hall of Immortality and use it as a battlefield to fight against us. This is a battle between two great forces, and whoever loses will lose their morale and glory."
"Oh, so that's how it is …" Heaven's Rain was confused, and I wasn't planning on explaining it to her anyway. Forget it, it was fine as long as she could activate Knight General and Charge.
Gui Guzi looked at my title and suddenly smiled. "Boss Broken Halberd, you're now a sixth-promotion player and have entered the Earthfire Realm. The number of players you can party with must've increased by a lot, right?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm a Level 150 sixth-promotion player who has entered the Earthfire Realm, so I can lead a party of 200 players at most. Famous Generals double that, so I can lead a party of 400 players at most."
"Fuck, the fans still like to read:!"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's eyes widened. "That's amazing! A 400-man party with Martial God's 200% Encourage? Doesn't that make us invincible?
Fourth-promotion Famous Generals like us can only lead 100 players at most, but you're four times our number. "
I smiled. "Even though Martial God's Encourage is a huge buff, it doesn't increase the user's Defense. That's why it's a blade that's easy to break. Knight God and Knight General will lead the charge later, and I'll lead 400 players in a diagonal charge. We'll maximize our Attack Power and minimize our losses as much as possible."
Gui Guzi rubbed his palms together and laughed. "Alright, it's settled then. Boss Broken Halberd, pick 399 players from the Cyan Tiger Cavalry and add them to our party!"
"Mn!"
I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse forward and circled around the crowd. I specifically picked a few high-level players with good Defense and good shields to join the party. Martial God's Attack Power was more than enough, but what they needed was absolute Defense. As long as they had thick skin and could endure a hit, they would be fine.
The 400-man party was formed, and the halo of Martial God's Famous General Skill appeared beneath the hooves of the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. All four hundred players enjoyed the 200% Encourage buff as they followed behind me. Most of them were men, and there were only a dozen or so female riders among them. Everyone was incredibly excited. Charging with a sixth-promotion Earthfire Realm player was a wonderful thing, especially when they could enjoy the 200% Attack Power buff. This was something that most people couldn't even dream of.
Gui Guzi asked, "Boss Broken Halberd, are we starting the charge now?
I don't think Baidicheng's Come See The Snow Tonight has submitted her dukedom yet … "
I pointed my sword toward the east and said, "Look, the fourth subguild of Hall of Immortality is gathering at the edge of the forest. Let's take advantage of this opportunity and charge over. We'll definitely be able to defeat them with zero losses. Let's go, now is the time. Let's let everyone warm up. We don't want to get confused when the battle starts!"
"Got it!"
Gui Guzi, Diamond Dust, Heaven Snow, and the rest of the Cyan Tiger Cavalry unsheathed their swords and smiled at the distance. "Cyan Tiger Cavalry, for our dreams of becoming kings, charge!"
