When the blade cut into Enlightened Heart's chest, I knew that if this magic knight didn't have an invincibility skill, then he was dead for sure. Under the fierce attack of the Cyan Netherworld Dragon Soul, he didn't have enough reaction speed. Even if he had an invincibility skill, he wouldn't have been able to activate it in time. And so, Enlightened Heart was killed by the 7th CGL Hall of Famer in front of a large group of players in his own guild.
Arrows and fireballs rained down on my body, but I didn't feel any pain at all. I swung my sword and created an Icy Cyclone Domain around me, creating a domain advantage for myself. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse let out a pained whine as it was hit by arrows!
"Fire! Use Mountain Stagger Arrows to kill the mount first!"
A high-level archer shouted hatefully, "You brat, you killed our guild leader! Do you really think you can leave safely?
You're dead! "
I swung my sword and used Thousand Ice Slash. I growled, "Can you stop me if I want to leave?"
… …
Even though the Armored Ice Qilin Horse was an Earth Rank boss mount, there was no way that it could withstand such a barrage of Mountain Stagger Arrows. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse was an Earth Rank boss mount, and some of the sixth-promotion archers who had reached the Earthfire Realm were even more ruthless. A few minutes later, the Armored Ice Qilin Horse's tenacity had dropped to 4%. Dammit, a few more hits and I would probably be fighting on foot.
Swhoosh!
A blood-red light descended from the sky as Tenacity of the Dead healed me for over 40k HP and pulled me back from the brink of death. Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer. The barrage of attacks was too concentrated, and no one could withstand them. If I didn't have an incredibly powerful lifesteal, I would've died a long time ago.
I urged my mount to retreat, but I couldn't get far. Left with no other choice, I activated my invulnerability skill, Shield of Dusk!
It was at this moment a warrior riding a fiery red warhorse came over and shouted, "Don't go, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! I'm coming for your life!"
I let out a chuckle as I charged forward despite the fact that I was invincible. Twisting my body to the side, I abruptly grabbed the handle of my opponent's spear and swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword at his weak point, a spot slightly above his waist. Burning Blade Slash burst out of my sword and split half of my opponent's body in half!
"Ah ah ah …"
The magic knight screamed in pain as he was practically cut in half at the waist. His total HP was less than 50k, so there was no way he could survive a single hit from Burning Blade Slash.
I tossed the magic knight's corpse to the side with a wave of my sword. Then, I smiled at the Northern Alliance players and said, "If you want to plunder China's territory, come at me. I'll be waiting for you at Dawn City!"
The sea of Northern Alliance players was stunned speechless. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
I took out a Return Scroll and crushed it!
"Whoosh!"
I returned to Sky City and continued teleporting to Dawn City!
… …
After I arrived at Dawn City, I took advantage of the fact that the repair shops and other NPCs were still around to repair my equipment and restore my Armored Ice Qilin Horse's tenacity bar to full. Then, I galloped out of the city and headed straight for the frontlines. There was a hill in front of Dawn Valley that wasn't too tall, and the management of several guilds were gathered there. Even their commander, Hot and Sour Noodles, was there. When I galloped toward them, they all looked at me.
He Yi smiled at me from atop her Dragonlight Spirit Beast and said, "Well done!"
Warsky also laughed loudly and said, "Well done! You killed three Heroic Bannermen in a row and took the head of a general from an army of tens of thousands. Lu Chen, you're probably the only one who can do something like this!"
Blue Sky Scar raised his sword and sneered, "I'm afraid that if the Martial God himself had shown up, he wouldn't have just killed three Heroic Bannermen!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes laughed and said, "If that's the case, then why is Lu Chen the one who has the courage to charge into the Outlands and not the Martial God you keep talking about?"
Blue Sky Scar growled, "This is none of your business. Shut up!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes raised her eyebrows. "What? You want to fight?
Come at me, I'm not afraid of you! Trash like you dares to challenge the CGL Hall of Famers? I can beat two of you by myself!
Just you wait, I'm sure my ranking in the CGL Hall of Fame will be higher than yours in half a year at most! "
Blue Sky Scar gritted his teeth. As expected, he couldn't win an argument against a petty woman like Stranger of Three Lifetimes. To be honest, Blue Sky Scar might not be a match for Stranger of Three Lifetimes in a real fight. A top-tier mage like her was incredibly scary, and Stranger of Three Lifetimes' ranking in the 1v1 arena was even higher than Blue Sky Scar's!
It was at this moment Candlelight Shadow raised his flaming longsword and growled, "Enough, Blue Sky Scar! Bickering isn't going to help the war! We should be thinking about how we're going to stop this invasion!"
Hot and Sour Noodles nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, Lu Chen may not have listened to my orders, but the fact that he killed three Heroic Bannermen has greatly boosted the morale of the China server. It also taught the Northern Alliance a lesson. Perhaps they're starting to cower in fear because of Lu Chen's courage."
October Rain said, "Uncle, why don't we talk about how we're going to fight this war?
We've sent some of our elites into Windy Trail, but the Northern Alliance's players are everywhere. Some of them actually climbed over the mountain range and ignored the zone restrictions of the map. Once they work together, it's only a matter of time before they destroy our troops stationed in Windy Trail. "
Hot and Sour Noodles sucked in a deep breath and nodded seriously. "That's right. I didn't think that the Northern Alliance would attack so fiercely either. They're very determined and have sent out all their elites. It looks like they won't rest until they take down Dawn City. How are Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance's preparations outside Windy Trail?"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes said, "Two hundred thousand ranged elites and one hundred thousand foot and cavalry elites are on standby. As long as the Northern Alliance can get in, we'll make sure they suffer."
October Rain also nodded in agreement. "Warsky Alliance has also prepared three hundred thousand players outside the Windy Trail, but most of them are dead. They can only delay the Northern Alliance for four hours at most. Lu Chen, you're the one who fought your way back from the Outer Lands, so you should be the one who has the most say in this matter!"
I glanced at Laughing At The Heavens and pointed a finger at him. "Laughing At The Heavens has returned from the Outer Lands, so he knows the Northern Alliance's offensive power better than anyone else!"
Laughing At The Heavens' face was ashen as he gripped his shield and said, "The Northern Alliance is far stronger than we imagined. The intensity of this battle is at least twice that of the battle at Immortality City. With my Defense and HP, I'll be drained in less than a minute if I don't replenish my HP. The same goes for Candle Dragon's Tempest Shadow!"
Tempest Shadow let out a cold snort, but he didn't deny it. The truth was that the Northern Alliance's attacks were so powerful that even I was feeling a lot of pain from them, let alone these two. Be it in terms of skills or equipment, I was superior to them in every way!
Hot and Sour Noodles sucked in a breath of cold air. "Fuck, if they're really that strong, then our chances of victory are less than thirty percent …"
Candlelight Shadow asked, "Then what should we do?"
I clenched my fists. "What do you mean what should we do? If the Northern Alliance comes to kill us, then we must meet them with our weapons. Everyone else, just watch!"
Warsky also clenched his fists. "That's right! I'd rather die than retreat!"
The guild leader of Purple Lily, Luo River God of the Capital, finally showed up. She smiled at Moonkiss and said, "Yo, Little Lu Chen is so manly! Two years ago, he was so young and inexperienced, but now he's so likable …"
Candlelight Shadow's face twitched. "Wang Luo, we're in a Nation War right now. This isn't the time for you to tease a pretty boy, is it?"
Luo River God of the Capital giggled but didn't reply. It was Moonkiss who spat, "Pooh pooh pooh!
Lu Chen killed three Heroic Bannermen at the Outer Lands on his own! If that's a pretty boy, then who do you think you are, Candlelight Shadow? If you have the balls, kill three Heroic Bannermen right now, and I'll admit that Lu Chen is a pretty boy! "
Candlelight Shadow's face turned ashen. "Hmph, he's just showing off. I don't care!"
"Pooh! Shameless!" Stranger of Three Lifetimes said.
Candlelight Shadow grew even more embarrassed. He didn't seem to be a match for these women at all.
Hot and Sour Noodles hurriedly said, "Alright, stop arguing, everyone. Guild leader level managers, come with me to a higher ground near Windy Trail to observe the battle. Keep an eye on the situation and leave the generals behind to guard the defense area."
"Okay …"
… …
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls left Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue and the others to defend the defensive area. He Yi, Murong Mingyue, and I followed behind Hot and Sour Noodles, Candlelight Shadow, and the others. We arrived at the high ground at the entrance of the canyon and looked into the distance. As expected, the Windy Trail was in chaos. Many people had already exited the trail and were engaged in a fierce battle with Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance.
"Giant shields, block the attacks!"
Lin Bing Dou Zhe raised his sword and stood at the front of Warsky Alliance's formation. He pointed to the front and shouted, "Block the ground attacks! Long-range players at the back, use Far Shots and kill them!
Stop their cavalry charge! Brothers, even if you die in battle, don't give up your territory! "
In front of us, a large group of Northern Alliance cavalry rushed into Windy Trail and charged into the narrow valley!
"Kill!"
Shouts shook the sky as Lin Bing Dou Zhe swung his sword and spurred his mount to defend the frontline. He endured the enemy's repeated Charges while the magic knights behind him fell to the ground one after another. Fireballs and arrows rained down from the sky and turned them into a bloody mess. For every Warsky Alliance player who fell, at least ten Northern Alliance players had fallen!
Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips had the geographical advantage and were slaughtering their way through. This was a great opportunity to earn Nation War points. I opened the Nation War rankings and saw that almost all the Top 100 players were from Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips. I was ranked third because I had killed so many people in the Outer Lands. The two people in front of me were high-level mages from the Northern Alliance. God knows how many people they had killed in Windy Trail.
… …
Hot and Sour Noodles frowned as he watched the slaughter taking place inside the canyon. "At this rate, Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips will only be able to hold on for another 120 minutes at most. What do you think, Lu Chen?"
I nodded. "Maybe they won't last that long. The Northern Alliance's players are endless. Uncle, look at the edge of the trail. There are already a lot of Northern Alliance assassins, archers, and warriors climbing the mountain range toward Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips' camp. Once the assassins enter the forest, it will be a nightmare for mages and archers!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes clenched her fists and bit her red lips as she watched the Northern Alliance players swarm into the valley. She clenched her fists and bit her lips as she said, "How shameless … I'll send someone to kill them right now!"
