Although the battle inside the territory hall was a bloodbath, the sound of the system announcement caused a lot of people to pause in their movements. Fans loved to read: Divine General Skill.
"Did Beauty Lin learn a Divine General Skill?" Li Chengfeng asked in astonishment.
Xu Yang nodded. "Yes."
Gui Guzi killed a couple of Hall of Immortality archers with his spear before muttering, "God's Tear?
The skill's stats are hidden? I wonder what's going on … "
I replied, "It has to be. Yiyi is probably the strongest 1v1 player in China right now …"
Li Chengfeng nodded. "That's right. I've heard of Great Earth Transformation before. When transformed, all resistances are increased by 50%, attack power is increased by 100%, and the Realm of the Earthfire effect will appear. There's a high chance that you'll be able to ignore weak attacks. In a one-on-one duel, Great Earth Transformation is practically invincible. Not to mention, with Beauty Lin's mechanics, it's like adding wings to a tiger."
I let out a deep sigh of relief and looked at my friend list. Her ID was nowhere to be found, and I felt a little disappointed.
… …
"Kill kill kill! Kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand first!"
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, the guild leader of Hall of Immortality, shouted from behind me. He was trying to organize a hundred knights to launch a counterattack against us.
Unfortunately, Hall of Immortality's momentum was already gone. In the blink of an eye, at least a thousand Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players had entered the territory hall thanks to my entrance. In the first five minutes, they were evenly matched. Ten minutes later, it was a one-sided slaughter. The less than ten thousand players in the territory hall couldn't withstand the onslaught at all.
The Armored Ice Qilin Horse let out a long neigh as it galloped into the air. I took this opportunity to charge into the crowd and unleash Burning Blade Slash. The sound of my blade cutting through bone was incredibly pleasing to the ears. After three consecutive slashes, not a single person on the enemy's side was able to withstand a single attack from me. Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was so scared that he couldn't help but retreat.
"You think you can leave?!"
It was time to earn guild contribution points. Killing the guild leader of an enemy guild was worth a lot of contribution points, and after exchanging my points for equipment a few times, I was no longer the number one player in the guild. This was the perfect opportunity!
"Roar roar!"
The Phantom Wolf King pounced at the Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch from behind and bit him in the arm. The Phantom Wolf King tore the Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch off his mount, losing a huge chunk of his HP.
My sword flashed like lightning, and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch slowly fell to his knees. Blood spurted out of his neck as he collapsed to the ground. Unfortunately, he didn't drop any equipment, but he did give me a whopping 10000 guild contribution points. Goddammit, I'm so lucky to be able to grind contribution points with someone like him.
In fact, this was supposed to be a bug in the game. We could choose a small guild as our enemy guild leader and kill them 100 times to earn 1,000,000 guild points. Unfortunately, this wasn't going to happen. First of all, there was no manager in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls who would do such a shameless thing. Second of all, our enemy guilds were big guilds like Hegemon Palace, Flower Room, and Candle Dragon. Small guilds didn't deserve to be on our enemy guild list at all. Would Candlelight Shadow, Wang Dongliang, or Li Le be willing to let you farm guild points by yourself?
… …
The battle quickly came to an end. The guild leader of the Rose of the Holy Domain, Rose Thorn, had teleported back to the city with invincibility. The guild leader of Throne Seeker, Emperor's Equal, had been killed by Chaos Moon's Rock Crush. Both of the vice leaders had died to He Yi's Blade of the Earthen Soul. Her PvP skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and it was very gratifying.
The territory hall was almost empty by the time the battle was about to end.
"Alright, it's done!"
I gripped the Cyan Netherworld Sword and said to everyone, "Let's go. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, please leave the territory hall and wait for our friends from Baidicheng to take over the territory hall!"
"Mn!" Li Chengfeng and the others nodded and followed me out of the hall.
It wasn't long before the players of Blazing Hot Lips and The Monarch Descends also left the territory hall. When only Baidicheng's players were left, the system bell rang — "Ding ~!"
System Announcement: Congratulations to the guild [Baidicheng] for successfully occupying the city [Immortality City]. There are 8 minutes and 12 seconds left before the territory war ends. If Hall of Immortality's counterattack fails, the guild [Baidicheng] will occupy the city [Immortality City]!
… …
The dust had settled, and all that was left was to wait. The battle had gone on for more than ten hours, and it was a bloody mess on all four sides of the city walls. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the ground beneath the city walls was littered with white bones. The saying that a general's success was built on the bones of ten thousand couldn't even begin to describe it anymore. There were at least several million bones lying on the ground.
Now that the territory hall had been occupied, He Yi and Gui Guzi led our melee players into the city once more just to be on the safe side. The expedition quest would be completed in another eight minutes.
This time, the players of the China server had finally witnessed the strength of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' cavalry. Not only were they able to lay siege to a city, but even the Viper Dragoons that Candlelight Shadow was so proud of had suffered a crushing defeat under the blades of the Cyan Tiger Cavalry. There was no helping it. Even though the Viper Dragoons weren't weak, they didn't have a Famous General to lead them. On the other hand, not only did Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have Martial God, Royal Road, and Knight God leading the charge, they also had two extremely elite Knight Generals who greatly increased their Attack and Defense, making the Cyan Tiger Cavalry an unstoppable force. It was also these five Famous Generals that had caused Candle Dragon's ace cavalry to suffer a crushing defeat.
Behind me, the territory hall was surrounded by players from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Baidicheng, Blazing Hot Lips, and The Monarch Descends. There were also quite a few players from Hall of Immortality, Candle Dragon, Rose of the Holy Domain, and Throne Seeker trying to break through the encirclement. Unfortunately, there were less than ten minutes left, and not even a god could turn the situation around.
I couldn't be bothered to enter the territory hall and join in the fun, so I leaped off my mount and led it to a corner of the wall. Then, I stabbed the Cyan Netherworld Sword into the ground and sat down on the ground. The Phantom Wolf King let out a whimper and retracted its ferocious battle form. It retracted its claws and crouched down beside me like a big dog. It rubbed its furry head against my arm as if it was trying to rub its furry head against my arm.
I leaned my head against the stone wall and let out a deep sigh of relief. The battle was finally over. We had finally defeated Candle Dragon and spread the name of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to the top of the China server. We would also let all the players of China know that Candle Dragon wasn't invincible. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had returned with a group of hot-blooded brothers, and they had come for revenge!
… …
Suddenly, I recalled Lin Yixin, who had just become a Divine General. She had learned a Divine General Skill and activated Great Earth Transformation at the same time. It was a special ability that a sixth-promotion player gained. Great Earth Transformation was tied to a Divine General Skill, so it was only natural that a player would be able to activate Great Earth Transformation after they became a Divine General. It seemed like a pretty good ability. Lin Yixin's individual combat power was definitely one of the best in the entire server right now.
I opened my friend list, but I couldn't find Lin Yixin. I had no choice but to click on Clear Perfume's name and send her a call request. Since Lin Yixin wasn't contacting me, I might as well beat around the bush!
"Is this Lu Chen?" Sun Qingqing's voice came from the other end of the call.
I nodded. "Yeah, it's me, Qingqing. Are you with Yiyi right now?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Sun Qingqing replied.
I swallowed and nearly choked on my tears. "Qingqing, how's Yiyi doing today?"
"She's doing very well. Snowy Cathaya didn't participate in the battle of Immortality City. She took everyone to a big map, and she even became a Divine General when we killed the boss. You saw it yourself, right?
Hehe, Yiyi is so amazing! She's the first Divine General in Heavenblessed … "
"Mn."
"What's wrong, Lu Chen?"
I leaned against the wall and blinked hard. I shook off the sand that blew into my eyes and said, "Qingqing, Yiyi is with you, right?
Can you ask her to add me as a friend? "
"No, she doesn't want to."
"Then tell her that I miss her …" I held back for a long time, but in the end, I still managed to say it.
However, the other party didn't say anything for a long time. Sun Qingqing seemed to have run into a small problem when she was relaying my message. Almost half a minute later, she finally said, "Oh, I got it. I told Yiyi already!"
"What … what did she say?"
Sun Qingqing said angrily, "She didn't say anything, she just giggled like an idiot. I really want to beat someone up!"
I couldn't help but smile. "Mn, thank you, Qingqing."
I turned off the communicator and looked up at the sky. The corner of my lips curled up a little. Yiyi's going to Canada.
A few minutes later, just as I was about to doze off, Sun Qingqing sent me another message: "Lu Chen, you have to cherish Yiyi. I've known her for so many years, and I've never seen anyone make her this happy. Fans like to read 'Yiyi'."
"Mn, I know. I will."
… …
I gripped my sword and rose to my feet. The battle should be over soon, right?
A short while later, a system announcement rang in the air. The territory war was over!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Congratulations to the guild [Baidicheng] for successfully capturing the territory [Immortality City]. Due to the large number of souls and essences of the dead, this battle has been categorized as a Grandeur Rank battle. Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has obtained the reward: Luck + 2, Level + 3. Players "Candlelight Shadow and Stranger of Three Lifetimes" have obtained the reward: Luck + 1, Level + 2. Players "Fourth to tenth place" have obtained the reward: Luck + 1, Level + 1. Players "100th to 1000th place" have obtained the reward: Level + 1.
… …
Finally, the battle was over, and the rewards were pretty good. Basically, battle points were earned by the number of players killed, and at least 30% of the Top 1000 players belonged to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. All in all, we had profited greatly from the battle of Immortality City. Baidicheng and Blazing Hot Lips had let us clean up the battlefield first when it came to looting equipment. Neither guild leader wanted to let their distant allies suffer any losses.
"It's over …" I let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, it's over!"
The guild leader of Righteousness, Hot and Sour Noodles, had appeared out of nowhere. He smiled and said, "The CGL committee has decided to spend the entire night evaluating the guild's points. Including our previous points, we'll release a new ranking on the CGL China's Guild Ranking on Heavenblessed's official website at 9 am tomorrow morning. Lu Chen, look forward to it!"
"Mn, I know. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Hot and Sour Noodles."
"Hahaha …" Hot and Sour Noodles swaggered off.
