Chapter 726 – Provoking the Wrong Man (2/2)

Li Mu raised his eyebrow and said, “If they come at us again, they’ll definitely have the advantage in numbers. Should we use our ranged players now?”

I nodded, “Yes!”

……

I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and shouted, “Steel Blade Horsemen, advance forward a hundred meters and create a line defensive formation!”

In the distance, Rumor and Not Ordinary clearly didn’t expect the Steel Blade Horsemen to push forward. They couldn’t tell what was going on and their cavalry slowed down their advance.

Riding on my Flying Scythe War Horse, I lead the advance. Following right behind me, Wan Er, Dong Cheng, and Dancing Forest led the rest of our main force, and provided support from right behind the Steel Blade Horsemen. Our Cavalrymen spread out their formation. Like this, we’ll have the support of our mages and archers. Furthermore, we’ll have the heals from our healers as well. Under those conditions, our Steel Blade Horsemen can put aside all their worries and fight with all they’ve got!

To be honest, everyone knew that Rumor’s [Run Like Flames] was a no namer in Tian Ling City. It was a small guild that couldn’t even be considered third rate. However, he managed to become the Deputy Commander purely based on his connections, and was now the second most powerful person in the Chinese Servers. Of course, now, he needed some way to prove his strength, otherwise nobody would give a sh*t about him. And so, [Zhan Long] and [Judgement] were to become the chicken that was sacrificed for the monkey. Unfortunately for Rumor, he picked the wrong people. He had thought too simply of this game. This wasn’t a world where a second generation official could flaunt his power.

This was where the future hierarchy of the game was determined, through strength and brothers!

……

After a whole thirty minutes passed, finally, the four guilds finished their preparations. Shang Li, War Tent and Liu Ying lead their three armies to advance while the Greedy Wolf Raiders had revived quite a few of their forces and made up a ten thousand man team. One team of five thousand was lead by Not Ordinary and was going to ambush the left flank while the other five thousand man team was lead by You Yi to do the same on the right flank. Their strategy was too obvious. They might as well have sent a battle notification to us.

I flicked my hand, and shook off the drying blood on my Dragon Reservoir Sword. Even I wasn’t too clear on what we were fighting for. The battle before was to test out the battle power of the Steel Blade Horsemen with their Black Flame sets. As for this battle, was it just an internal conflict?

I looked to my side and saw that Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Old K were all excited for the next round of killing. As the commander of three armies, I couldn’t say bullsh*t like I didn’t want to fight. And so, I waved my sword and roared, “Prepare for battle! Let’s show those trash what true power is and see just who wants to flaunt their strength in Tian Ling City!”

Those words had actually been directed at Rumor. I could already tell that when the country war opened up, this Rumor will definitely try and interfere with the battle strategies as the second most powerful person. However, he himself is completely ignorant and unskilled. All he really has is a special position. He would only bring more harm than good. However, this was someone that Director Liu Gong had put in here as some kind of representative of the Virtual World Committee. In their eyes, I’m just some warlord who amassed large armies. There was nothing more that needed to be said, all I could do was kiss up to them. Everything was for the honor of the Chinese Servers.

……

Hooves crushed the leaves on the forest ground. The advance of the three guilds had begun. [Zhan Long]’s Steel Blade Horsemen each raised their swords and shields, and took a defensive stance.

Dong Cheng and Thousand Suns’ net of firepower quickly descended upon our enemies. One after another, [Magma Abyss]es and [Lightning Eagle Formation]s appeared on the field. Shang Li raised his spear and shouted, “Careful of the magic attacks!”

Unfortunately, a group of [Knights Templar] men had charged right into the net and were blasted to pieces!

“Shua!”

The moment Shang Li had charged out of the firepower, he suddenly took a bullet to his chest. Blood spurt forth. It was an attack from Xing Lie. “Peng peng peng!” His musket fired three times and Xing Lie’s three hit combo had shot off 30,000 health from this [Knights Templar] knight. After he lost too much health, Shang Li fell off his horse and retreated with his shield raised. Rage flared up in his face, “What the f*ck, what kind of attack power is this? Isn’t [Zhan Long]’s musketeer too OP?”

This was just the first face to face meet and yet the guildmaster of the [Knights Templar] was nearly killed in one hit. This was enough to disturb the three guilds. There was no way they could break through the sturdy wall of the Steel BladeHorsemen. One after another, the [Knights Templar] swordsmen used [Blade Rush] to try and pierce through our formation, only to be killed by Wan Er and Qing Qian who were waiting behind. Once the swordsmen left their formation, they all died.

“Peng peng peng…”

Sparks flew as the enemies rammed against the Steel Blade Horsemen. Even so, they didn’t move a single step. Rather, it was the [Knights Templar] who ended up being pushed back and then got hit by our archers, musketeers and mages. Very soon, a pile of corpses lay before us.

In less than five minutes, Liu Ying raised his sword, the muscles in his face twitching. He turned around and shouted, “Retreat! If we continue this, we’re just running towards our deaths!”

With Liu Yin’s shout, all of the other guilds also lost interest in this battle. After all, it was just walking towards their own deaths!

……

Rumor raised his sword and suddenly held off the retreating troops with a group of people. He roared, “If anyone dares to run away, kill them all!”

Liu Ying roared, “You dare. Why don’t you try!”

Rumor was finally at a loss. It seems that he finally realized that he had just provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
