Chapter 521 – Use Your Best Men for Battles of Power (2/2)
I pulled my Dragon Reservoir Sword out and leapt off the wall. I stood before the crowd of people and shouted, “Guard the city walls, Guard Dragon’s Den! Defend our home! Everything hinges on this one battle! Let us fight to the death, and never admit defeat!”
All of our troops pulled out their blades. Ye Lai, Han Bei Song, and Misty Clouds followed behind me and jumped off to stand at the frontline.
One Second Hero raised his halberd and trembled a little. He looked at me and nervously laughed, “So, how are we doing this?”
I said, “The second the Rhino Cavalry hits us, we’ll use a [Fierce Sun Wall]. We have to do our best to gain as much time as we can for everyone to kill these monsters. These are Thunder Tier monsters with 400,000 health. They won’t be easily killed.”
“Yes!”
……
Right as the Rhino Cavalry met our frontline, Cheng Yong Jie let out his [Fierce Sun Wall]. For seven seconds, everyone’s resistance and defense increased by 50%. In the next moment, each Rhino’s horn began to glow as they they rammed right into our frontlines. “Hong hong hong!” The sounds of the crashes resounded throughout the map.
I raised my Cold Iron Sword to parry while I used my Dragon Reservoir Sword to cut the monster down. I let out [Sword Tempest]+[Seven Star Fragment Slash], and then activated [Blade Spin] to kill off all the monsters with critical health. Ye Lai and Misty Clouds both roared as they launched their counterattack while the players at the top of the wall continuously released their attacks. Just because these monsters had 400,000 health, doesn’t mean that they couldn’t be killed.
Unfortunately, everything wasn’t going as smoothly as we had hoped. The Rhino Cavalrymen waved their blades and charged forward unceasingly, destroying all the players in their path. Furthermore, each one had whirling blades of wind encircling them as they charged forward. It seemed to be a skill that was similar to [Blade Rush]. The attack power of these Lv 100 Thunder Tier monsters was just too high!
Within moments, the bottom of the city’s walls was bathed in rivers of blood and my heart began to tighten. Heavens! We won’t be able to hold them off! No matter how strong we were, we still wouldn’t be able to hold off such a savage charge. There wasn’t a single player that had reached Lv 100 yet, and not a single one of them had mounts. How were we supposed to deal with this NPC iron-clad cavalry charge?!
Waving both of my swords, I charged into the mob of monsters. I was a whirlwind on the frontlines, throwing the Rhino Cavalrymen into the air, one after another. Of course this wasn’t going to change the overall situation and most of the Rhinos had already broken through the formation that we had set up at the bottom of the wall. One after another, these enormous beasts rammed into the wall. “Peng Peng Peng!” Stones began to crumble and the wall started to fall.
“Dear Lord…”
Wan Er’s beautiful face held an astonished expression. She swung both of her daggers and her [Blade of the Death God] forced a Rhino Cavalryman backwards. That wasn’t even close to enough to change things and even more Rhino Cavalrymen charged forward. Dong Cheng and Thousand Suns over Snowy Lands helped Wan Er to kill them, while Qing Qian and Wolf used their AOE attacks. Slowly, the Rhino Cavalrymen were dying off.
……
The battlefield was chaotic and not far from us, a section of the 5 meter tall wall had collapsed. The reality was that a Lv 2 city like Dragon’s Den was not going to be able to take this kind of an onslaught. Our players did not give up though and condensed into a large group as they tried to fend off the enemy. They used their charges to try and stop the monsters from destroying the city, as they hoped to sacrifice their lives to try and beat the time limit.
Seeing this situation, the enemy players in the distance finally couldn’t resist any longer.
“Keng!”
Q-Sword suddenly pulled out his long sword and pointed it towards Dragon’s Den and roared, “Our opportunity has come! Charge! Let us flatten Dragon’s Den and massacre [Zhan Long]!”
A mass of [Hero’s Mound]’s players charged at us. It was practically piling snow onto the frost. This proved Dong Cheng’s point that Q-Sword was number one in terms of tactical warfare.
This time, nobody thought about what tactics to use because there was only one path for us to walk. Kill anything and everything in front of us!
……
Rocklin raised his battle axe and charged into the crowd. His face carried a cruel expression, “Chi Yu Han, you cowardly rat! Come! If you have the guts then fight a battle with me! I want to see just how strong your so called Holy Realm really is! Come at me, why don’t you try out the blades of my Rhino Cavalry?!”
“Shua!”
Suddenly, a blade flew out of nowhere and “Cha cha cha!” cut seven Rhino Cavalrymen in two. A figure flew over. It was the raging Chi Yu Han. His Heaven’s Spite Sword whirled around him and the golden glow of his Holy Realm surrounded his body. He smiled, “You’re practically asking for it!”
The Heaven’s Spite sword flew forward and “Ka Cha!”, Rocklin screeched in pain. The arm that wielded his battle axe had been cut off and blood spurted out. The battle axe fell to the ground along with the arm that carried it.
Chi Yu Han moved like lightning and suddenly opened his hand. Flames began to rise around him and he shouted, “Disappear!”
“Hong!”
The flames surged forward and Rocklin was burned to dust!
……
“Huff…”
Chi Yu Han’s breath was harsh and his face was completely pale. Slowly, he hobbled back towards Dragon’s Den and glanced at me, “I can only help you with this much strength….”
I didn’t say a single word. To be able to instantly kill the commander of one of Ba Huang City’s armies, just how terrifying was Chi Yu Han? If he were to recover his Holy Realm strength, then who would be able to stop him?
