Chapter 460 – Q-Sword’s Empty City Plan (2/2)
……
After three seconds, I used [Haste] and turned around. I opened up my palm, and commanded [Soul Army] to descend upon the forest. One after another, the skill crushed the crowd of Musketeers, and screams of fear rang out. I retreated several steps before another “Ka Cha!” sound rang out. I was trapped by another Archer’s [Beast Trap].
“Guild Master, be careful!” Behind me, one of the Mages raised her staff and let out a [Revealing Light]. In a loud voice, she said, “There are definitely quite a few [Beast Traps] laid out here!”
Just as expected, under the light of the spell, countless [Beast Trap]’s appeared in the bushes. Motherf*cker, it was terrifying. There were at least a thousand in that forest. This meant that there were over a thousand Archers there to set up that ambush.
I lunged forward and cut down a [Beast Trap]. I then shouted, “Continue casting [Revealing Light], we’ll clear out all of the [Beast Traps] in the area!”
“Ok!”
Everywhere, we cut apart the [Beast Traps] that the [Revealing Light] illuminated, but there wasn’t any movement from the bushes, which made me suspicious. What exactly was Q-Sword planning, and why wasn’t he stopping us? Maybe…… Maybe these were just some fake soldiers, and they’re purposely luring us into a trap?
Behind me, Qing Qian’s voice rang, “Brother Xiao Yao, new intel. There are at least 20,000 [Hero’s Mound] players that have appeared in Desolate Cloud Swamp. They’re attacking [Vanguard] and [Enemies at the Gate] right now! They’re around 1300 yards ahead of us!”
“F*ck!”
I gritted my teeth and raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword, “All of [Zhan Long]’s players listen to me. No matter if there is or isn’t an ambush in those bushes, we’re going to charge right through! Kill!”
Li Mu questioned, “Eh? Aren’t you afraid of an ambush?”
“There’s won’t be, there isn’t even a heavy army ambush here!” I gritted my teeth and said, “At most, there isn’t more than 1000 people here. They’re just here to delay us for a whole 20 minutes. Q-Sword has already reached his target. All members, advance! Enter the Desolate Cloud Swamp, the battle is right ahead of us!”
“Yes sir!”
[Zhan Long]’s main guild and divisions all advanced. Just as expected, there were only several hundred people lying in wait in the bushes. They were all killed by us as we advanced forward. Within 10 minutes, we passed through the forest!
“Hua….”
When I hacked my way through the bramble, a flash of light suddenly passed by my eyes. Just ahead of me, there was a moist swamp. At that moment, the swamp was filled with players. [Enemies at the Gate] and [Vanguard] were both attacking on the northern side of the swamp, while [Hero’s Mound]’s countless players were currently fiercely charging forward. In the distance, I could see Q-Sword’s silhouette. He was swinging his blade and slaughtering Ba Huang City players. He was practically a killing machine!
……
I pointed my Dragon Reservoir Sword right at [Hero’s Mound]’s rear and bellowed, “Advance!”
Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Old K all rushed forward. Matcha stayed by my side to shield me and raised her sword, and blinked a few times, “Boss, [Hero’s Mound] has sent people to block our troops….. Wu, it’s Cang Cheng’s First Division, and Divisions 11, 13, 17, and 18. There’s around 5000 players….”
I pointed forward and shouted, “Brothers of [Zhan Long], cut them down!”
Wang Ze Cheng raised his Flames of War Magic Blade and stood at the frontlines. He suddenly retreated a step, and an enormous shield blocked our first Swordsman on the frontlines. He then sent his Flames of War blade out, and “Ka Cha!” dealt 4100 damage. He actually managed to instantly kill a Lv 80 Fourth Advancement Swordsman. That bastard’s attack power is terrifying.
Dong Cheng Lei roared and suddenly charged forward. He raised his battle axe, and “Peng!” he smashed into Wang Ze Cheng’s shield. The force of the attack forced Wang Ze Cheng to retreat several steps. His face turned ugly, “Cang Lei, you!”
“F*ck off! You aren’t fit to have “Cang” in your name!”
Dong Cheng Lei snarled and swept out his battle axe, and forced Wang Ze Cheng back even further. However, Wang Ze Cheng was an extremely smart person and let his feet slide backwards and he made a quick retreat, as he dodged Qing Qian’s [Grip of the Firefox] and Li Mu’s [Covering Sword Slash]. Afterwards, he hid behind the first row and stopped attracting all of the firepower. It was as if he realized that there was quite a number of people that wanted to kill him in [Zhan Long].
My two swords terrorized the frontlines. My Cold Iron Sword and Dragon Reservoir Sword were covered in blood, while my Flaming Tiger God lunged forward and its body was covered with [Flame Armor] and activated [Burstfire Raid] in the middle of the crowd. The sight of him roaring was an iconic scene on [Zhan Long]’s battlefields. A gale swept through the crowds as Old K’s [Whirlwind Blade] cut through the crowd. Li Mu and Wang Jian both activated [Flying Sword] and their blades cut into the crowds, while blood sprayed everywhere. The entire battlefield was dyed red.
“Hong hong hong….”
Suddenly, small volcanoes began to pop up throughout the marsh. Thousand Suns over Snowy Lands lead a group of [Zhan Long]’s Mages and continuously cast [Magma Abyss]. The players of [Hero’s Mound] still recklessly countered our attacks. Wang Ze Cheng lead the attack, and all of the players did their best to throw themselves at [Zhan Long]’s frontline. It was very clear, Q-Sword gave them a kamikaze command. It was probably something along the lines of, no matter what you do, you have to delay [Zhan Long] for an hour, or half an hour.
……
In the distance, there was suddenly the sound of a charge rang out throughout the swamp, and resonated in my heart!
“Matcha!”
I looked at my beautiful Elder and said, “Quick, fly up and tell me the situation!”
“Yes sir!”
Matcha’s small boots stomped against the ground, and she flew up. Her two snow white legs appeared in front of everyone’s eyes. I also saw what she saw, and noticed a group of countless players charging through the northern forest. They were all [Hero’s Mound]’s players. Q-Sword’s sister Sword Tears, a top tier fourth advancement Swordsman, lead the troops.
Qing Qian’s voice trembled, “Oh no…. there’s another 30,000 of [Hero’s Mound]’s troops that are returning here. They weren’t headed towards the City of the Four Noblemen, they were going to surround [Vanguard] and [Enemies at the Gate]…”
I tightened my grip on my two swords and suddenly hacked my way through the crowd as I shouted, “Believe in our allies to hold off the enemy. [Enemies at the Gate] and [Vanguard] aren’t made of soft meat, they’ll rip out some of [Hero’s Mound]’s teeth. Within 20 minutes, we must annihilate [Hero’s mound: Division One] and charge all the way to the rear of their main force! Let them have a taste of defeat before they leave!”
