A dazzling golden light shone in front of me as I stared at the main street in the center of Immortality City. Countless cavalrymen were waiting in formation, and every one of them had the emblem of the Candle Dragon guild on their shoulders. Furthermore, the mounts of these cavalrymen were extremely shocking. They were actually a bunch of wriggling pythons, and they were covered in golden scales. Their heads were slightly raised, and their bodies were upright and their backs were arched. There was a knight's mount on each of these pythons.
"Hiss hiss …"
The hissing of the pythons was enough to make one's hair stand on end. However, the high-level magic knights of Candle Dragon were extremely calm as they gripped their swords and held onto the sinister-looking, jagged heads of the pythons. Even though the heads were covered in armor, it didn't affect their movements in the slightest. When the pythons wriggled, their tails would sway back and forth. The sight of all their tails tangled together was extremely frightening!
… …
"Wah, what kind of cavalry are those? They're so disgusting!!"
Heaven's Rain stuck out her tongue as she frowned and said, "Big brother Lu Chen, can we not fight these disgusting cavalrymen?"
I shook my head and replied, "No. It looks like these cavalrymen are Candle Dragon's trump card. The reason why Candlelight Shadow dared to let our Cyan Tiger Cavalry into the city is probably because he planned to use these Viper Cavalry to eat us up inside the city. Goddammit, what kind of cavalry are these? They're so disgusting!
Thank goodness I didn't eat lunch! "Stranger of Three Lifetimes pursed her lips as her eyes filled with astonishment. She said," These … they seem to be the legendary Viper Dragoons. Candle Dragon once bragged about them on the forums. They're Level 130 Purple Gold Rank mounts, and their stats are extremely powerful! "
"Oh, so they're on the same level as our Cyan Tiger Cavalry …" I frowned. "This won't be easy. From the looks of it, there are at least ten thousand of them. Where did Candlelight Shadow find such powerful mounts …"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes smiled. "That's simple. Candle Dragon is the king of Wind City, and even Purple Lily and Peach Garden pale in comparison to them. These Viper Dragoons claim to be the descendants of dragons, and they live in the caves deep in the mountains. Candle Dragon took over the entire map a month ago, and no other guilds were able to lay their hands on it. Sister Luoshen had tried a few times to attack them, but Candle Dragon managed to repel them every time. Therefore, Candle Dragon is the only guild in Wind City that has a complete Viper Dragoon Cavalry. Their number seems to have swelled to over 13500, which is a terrifying number. More than 50% of the top-tier magic knight players in Wind City are part of the Viper Dragoons."
"Ah?"
He Yi's delicate shoulders trembled slightly. She looked at me and said, "Aren't we fighting against the best cavalry of Wind City?"
I raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword and chuckled. "Don't worry, Eve. Don't forget that we are also the best cavalry of Sky City. In fact, we are the best cavalry in the entire world. Even though we don't have half of their numbers, we have Knight God, Martial God, Royal Road, and Knight Generals. Why would we be afraid of a measly Viper Dragoon Cavalry?
They may be called dragoons, but in reality, they are just a bunch of snake riders. Hmph! "
I raised my longsword high into the air and shouted at the densely packed Cyan Tiger Cavalry behind me, "Brothers and sisters, let's show Candlelight Shadow what a top-tier cavalry charge looks like! Let's use our blades to shatter Candle Dragon's confidence and dominance!"
It was just a few simple words, but it caused the blood of the magic knights in the guild to boil. They raised their weapons high into the air and laughed loudly. "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, unrivaled in the world!"
… …
In the distance, Candlelight Shadow stood at the center of the city's main street. Both sides of him were lined with Viper Dragoons, and the Candle Dragon emblem on their shoulders looked like a ball of fire that wanted to burn everything in the world. Tempest Shadow had activated his Famous General Skill, Resolute, and Blue Sky Scar had activated his Famous General Skill, Frenzy. One increased his Attack by 120%, while the other increased his Attack by 150%. Although Blue Sky Scar wasn't a cavalryman, he was still charging with the Viper Dragoons. The 150% boost to his Attack was very powerful, and it was enough to make the Cyan Tiger Cavalry suffer.
Clang!
Candlelight Shadow pulled out the Blade of Scarlet Flames from his back and shouted angrily, "We, Candle Dragon, have always valued our honor and brotherhood above all else. Today, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has publicly challenged our honor and our brotherhood. Today, brothers and sisters, show us your courage and defend our honor! Under the protection of our arrow towers, we will tear these ambitious Cyan Tiger Cavalry to shreds and restore the China server to its rightful place!"
A group of Viper Dragoons pulled out their blades and shouted in unison, "Defend our honor!"
Tempest Shadow spat on the ground and raised his spear. He shouted, "Dragoons, charge! For our honor, for our brothers and for our dreams!"
Tens of thousands of Viper Dragoons immediately sprang into action. The Viper Dragoons twisted their bodies madly, and their movement speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already traveled more than a hundred meters. This kind of speed was probably on par with our Cyan Tiger Cavalry. Moreover, the Viper Dragoons were moving so fast that they were practically running in an S shape. This made it even more difficult for us to attack them.
… …
Swhoosh!
The Cyan Netherworld Sword glowed with a bloody light as I activated Undead Energy. At the same time, I shouted, "Brothers and sisters, the time for vengeance has come! We will no longer fear the bullying of those so-called kings! Today, we will use our blood and courage to write a new chapter in Eternal Moon's history! We will make the world tremble in fear because of our name! Charge!
Kill without mercy! "
I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse forward, my entire body emanating an icy aura. In reality, the Viper Dragoons weren't any weaker than us. Our biggest advantage was our elite mounted players and our powerful Famous General Skills. As the first player to ever ride a mount, I had to show off my strength in this battle. If I didn't, all the hard work I had put into completing my sixth class promotion quest would have been for nothing!
"Kill!"
An earth-shattering battle cry reverberated throughout the city as the Cyan Tiger Cavalry activated Charge. Gui Guzi, Diamond Dust, Heaven's Rain, and He Yi each led a hundred-man party. I, on the other hand, had a party of four hundred men. All of them had a 200% Attack boost. These eight hundred elite Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen were our trump card in this cavalry duel!
"Roar roar …"
The Phantom Wolf King let out an earth-shattering howl as it charged towards the Viper Dragoons like a bolt of lightning. It suddenly leapt into the air and slammed its claws into the head of one of the Viper Dragoons. Then, it activated the Claw of the Storm. With a loud bang, the gigantic wolf claws transformed into a tempest that ravaged the enemy, causing the Viper Dragoons to waver. Their original charging formation was also greatly damaged.
I charged forward and waved my hand. My Apparition Ring danced in the air as an avatar suddenly appeared in front of me. This avatar was also riding an Armored Ice Qilin Horse and possessed 75% of my Attack. It stood at the center of the city's main street and raised its blade. A purple energy whirled around it as a draconic aura swirled around its body. In the next instant, a Purple Dragon Howl erupted from its body.
"Boom!"
Candlelight Shadow and the rest of the Viper Dragoons were shocked by the purple dragon's roar. They hadn't expected my avatar to be able to use a skill every time it was summoned.
"Fuck, this is too shitty! Kill them all! Don't let Lu Chen drag our front line by himself!" Tempest Shadow roared angrily as he raised his spear.
However, I simply smiled as I took control of the Phantom Wolf King and activated its skill — Purgatory Storm!
"Awoo!"
The little wolf let out an angry howl as it raised its king's head and unleashed a huge cloud of blood. In the next instant, the ground cracked open as lava gushed out of the ground. Countless tornadoes wreaked havoc within a forty-yard radius of the Viper Dragoons. The movement of a large group of Viper Dragoons was completely impeded, and many of them were sucked into the tornadoes due to inertia. Their HP plummeted rapidly as the Level 147 little wolf's stats were ridiculously high.
Candlelight Shadow was completely enraged by this. Although he was a foot warrior, he charged forward and locked onto Heaven's Rain. His sword trembled as he activated Rock Thrust!
Pcht pcht pcht!
A series of sharp rock spikes burst out of the ground and pierced through the War Tiger's abdomen. Heaven's Rain and the rest of the magic knights were sent flying into the air. This Rock Thrust was a very powerful skill, and Candlelight Shadow was no ordinary person. He was an infantry warrior, but he still dared to charge forward in such a manner.
Swhoosh!
A fiery red light appeared on Candlelight Shadow's blade and instantly transformed into a flaming cone. It was the effect of Barrier Break. Candlelight Shadow was just waiting for Heaven's Rain to descend upon him.
However, at this exact moment, Gui Guzi suddenly launched an attack. He raised his spear and used Assault on Candlelight Shadow. Relying on the momentum of a knight, he was actually able to force Candlelight Shadow back several steps. His Barrier Break was also nullified.
Clang!
Gui Guzi followed up with a Barrier Break, dealing over 15000 damage to Candlelight Shadow. What was even worse was that Heaven's Rain flew into a rage the moment she landed on the ground. She swung her sword horizontally and unleashed Triple Slash!
"Candlelight Shadow, watch out!"
Tempest Shadow rushed over and blocked the Triple Slash for Candlelight Shadow. Behind him, a group of Viper Dragoons charged forward. Surprisingly, their ferocious snake heads could still attack. They opened their mouths and tried to swallow the Cyan Tiger Cavalry in front of them!
Pcht pcht pcht...
The War Tiger's head was bitten, and he instantly lost almost 2000 HP. Fuck, they attacked me before I even got close to them. These Viper Dragoons are not simple!
Candlelight Shadow raised his sword and shouted, "Charge! Break their formation!"
Unfortunately, Candlelight Shadow's wishful thinking didn't come to fruition at all. He Yi swung the Blade of the Earthen Soul and used Purgatory of Ice and Magma. Five beams of sword energy wreaked havoc in the middle of a group of Viper Dragoons, causing them to lose their momentum. Moreover, after my Burning Blade Slash, Thousand Ice Slash, and the little wolf's Purgatory Storm, the Viper Dragoons' frontline had been completely decimated.
"Charge! Counterattack!"
Gui Guzi roared. The Cyan Tiger Cavalry charged into the middle of the Viper Dragoons and ignored the enemy's attacks. They slashed left and right with their swords, attacking the enemy players relentlessly.
I gripped the Cyan Netherworld Sword and urged the Armored Ice Qilin Horse to act as the blade. I charged into the heart of the enemy. The Cyan Netherworld Sword in my hand suddenly turned cold as I activated Dragon Soul Attack. A dragon-shaped storm wreaked havoc in the air and deleted half of the HP of the Viper Dragoons in front of me. Dammit, these people have high levels and good equipment. Not even Dragon Soul Attack can kill them.
