Chapter 731 - The Hand of Waterloo
“What’s the bad news?” I asked.
Dong Cheng replied, “I just got a message from Tang Qi that idiot. Apparently 120 of [Hero’s Mound] cavalry players had been surrounded on Breezy Plains. Moon City’s [Dawn] guild had used five hundred cavalry to completely destroy them. They moved incredibly fast and surrounded [Hero’s Mound]’s players on three fronts. Q-Sword seems to be in some trouble. Nevermind it's ok, we’ll just ignore them….”
“Huh? Ignore them?” I couldn’t tell if I should cry or laugh, “[Hero’s Mound] is one of the Chinese Server’s top guilds. If we just leave them to die, then it’ll affect our morale when the news gets back to our players. Seeing as we’re already here, then we’ll just give them a hand!”
Li Mu raised his sword and cut in, “Bro, the Breezy Plains are enormous. All I see is grass. I don’t see a single [Hero’s Mound] player.”
I nodded, “Ok, Dong Cheng, where’s Tang Qi!”
Dong Cheng replied, “He’s just south of us, around ten minutes away.”
“Then let’s hurry!”
I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir sword and smiled. In order to explain everything, I added, “We only have forty players, so we need to be conscious that if we can save the [Hero’s Mound] players, we will, but if we can’t, then we’ll rely on the movement speed of our mounts and run away. Later on, we’ll act as we see fit. Pay attention to the team chat for any of my orders and don’t get too deep into the battle.”
Star Scar said, “Brother Xiao Yao, don’t worry, we understand. We also know that it’d be impossible for the forty of us to completely destroy the five hundred cavalry. [Dawn] is the French Server’s number one guild, and they will not be weak.”
“Exactly. Let’s go!”
……
We dashed forward. Wan Er was thrown back into my chest from the force of the inertia. She blushed and opened her mouth, as though she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
As we sped up our advance, the wind on the Breezy Plains also steadily grew. The heavy hooves of the Steel Blade Horsemen pounded against the ground. Everyone had entered a full out gallop state. Within a few minutes, furls of dust curled up into the air. There was a group of people fighting right before us. Among them were several players that carried the Chinese Flag next to their names. It was the players from [Hero’s Mound]! They only had 70 mounts left and were completely surrounded by 400 of the [Dawn] mounts. I could faintly see Q-Sword charge against the crowd. But as before, he could not pierce through.
[Dawn] was using a Mobile Encirclement type of strategy. There was a total of three layers to their formation. It was a simple yet effective strategy. It was like a large millstone. When the [Hero’s Mound] players charged outward, they would be crushed to bits like a speck of grain. Even though Q-Sword had killed several people at once, he still couldn’t kill them all and was at a loss on how to proceed.
“D*mn….”
Old K’s eyes widened, “So even Q-Sword would have a day like this? He looks pretty pitiful. There’s so many [Hero’s Mound] players on the ground, this is great….”
Li Mu said, “How should we proceed?”
I grit my teeth, “There’s no other way but to fight them head on. Once we’ve been trapped by [Dawn] then it’d be hard for us to even try leaving. We can only charge straight ahead and bring the [Hero’s Mound] players out. As long as we can make it out of this forest, then the [Dawn] players won’t be able to chase after us. Everyone follow my command and charge with me! I will use [Thundering Heavens] to open up our path and make a break in their formation. Afterwards, we’ll charge right in and help the [Hero’s Mound] players retreat. Once they reform their formation, I’ll activate [Ice Domain]. Wan Er, use your special skill [Heaven’s Lullaby] and stun them all for as long as you can!”
“Yes!”
I clicked my wrists and my Dragon Reservoir Sword began to glow. I charged forward on my horse while the nineteen horses behind me also dashed forward. The [Dawn] players were at the height of their excitement in this massacre. Only the outer circle had noticed our people. However, they probably thought that our numbers were too few, and didn’t pay much attention to us. All they did was send out thirty players to go and deal with us.
“He he!”
I couldn’t help but chuckle. These French players are actually looking down on our twenty horsemen! Then it’s about time that pay for that mistake!
“Kill!”
I threw a [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and swung out both swords. I surged forward in a spiral motion, cutting through the crowds. Blood and flesh flew into the air. Li Mu and Wang Jian each let out a flurry of skills. Added on with Old K’s [Whirlwind Slash] and in the blink of an eye, we had cut down all thirty of the horsemen. But the players from [Dawn] really were pretty strong. Even after we threw a heap of AOE attacks on them, a dozen still charged at us after being showered in blood. They didn’t seem affected by [Zhan Long]’s battle power in the slightest.
I swung my blades and cut one of the knight’s shields right in half. I urged my horse forward and was already beginning to deal my attack on the edges of the formation. Now that I was faced with these moving players, I waved my hand and activated [Thundering Heavens]. The skies immediately darkened and bolts of lightning surged through the clouds and struck the ground. Countless lightning dragons burst through the ground and dealt an onslaught of damage.
“D*mmit!”
One of the team leaders roared, “That person’s skill is incredibly strong, hurry up and avoid it!”
But all was too late. Twenty people had died under my [Thundering Heavens] attack. Plus, my Dragon Reservoir Sword’s [Kill For Blood] had reached forty levels, which increased my attack power by 40%!
Among the crowds, a person suddenly roared out, “Expand the circle! Cut off their escape route!”
A line of golden words appeared above the person’s head. I knew with a single look that he was a reputable player in Moon City——
