Chapter 736 - Defeat the Many with the Few
“Come out!”
I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and tightened my fist with a smile, “Lion King’s Shield? Moon City’s first country weapon was actually a shield. He he, interesting, interesting….”
Li Mu wiped away some of the water grass from his face and said, “The location has already appeared, should we move now?”
I looked into the distance and then squinted, “I think, we’ve been found….”
Wang Jian yelped, “What?”
Right at that moment, I heard another bell. The system notified that the Lion King’s Shield had shifted over to the player “Afternoon Knight”. I did a quick search and found that Afternoon Knight was the [Dawn] guild’s vice guildmaster. He was a Level 125 Concealed Class Horseman. Looks like Hand of Waterloo is planning on letting that knight protect the Lion King’s Shield for ten hours. Afterwards, he’ll use it for himself.
……
On top of Moon Lake, a large group of [Dawn] guild horsemen swam over. Their horses’ heads rose above the surface of the lake and they were heading straight towards us. They quickly let out a whinny. Surprise shook Wan Er’s face and she shouted, “They didn’t find us, they’re planning on climbing ashore on the western bank. Are they planning on going towards Moon city from there?”
“That can’t be right.” I furrowed my brow and said, “They aren’t going to Moon City. They’re planning on going to the map to the west. I believe there’s a wild map over there with dense forests. Hand of Waterloo is planning on hiding in that forest for the next ten hours. That way, the Country weapon will forever remain in the hands of [Dawn]. There’s no question about it, that Afternoon Knight must be the one with the highest HP and defense!”
Dong Cheng pouted her lip and said, “It seems that they’ve already noticed us. What do we do? There’s so many of them. There’s at least five hundred in the water. I’m afraid that once we face them, we’ll all die!”
Wolf asked, “Brother Xiao Yao, what should we do now?”
I tugged on my horse and retreated several steps, “Retreat back into the reeds. If they really have found us, then we’ll just have to fight them on with force. Even if we fight for our lives, we have to get that Lion King’s Shield...Before, when I was in the service, I heard that the British royal family was represented by the lion. This Lion King’s Shield is similar to the emblem of the British Monarchy. If we can get that, how great would that be….”
Matcha nodded and retreated her mount, “Everyone, carefully hide. Keep tabs on the location of that Afternoon Knight!”
“They’re coming!” Dancing Forest had already notched her arrow and prepared her attack. A group of forty players were lying low in the dense reed. The people in the distance didn’t necessarily find us.
The [Dawn] players’ goal was too obvious. As they were moving through the water, they were ambushed several more times by some Shelled Dragons. Several dozen knights screamed in the water. One of them shouted, “Guildmaster, should we finish off these Shelled Dragons first? They’re too vile. Just how many of our players were killed by them!”
Hand of Waterloo furrowed his brow and said, “We’ll compensate them very well for their losses. We cannot stop here. Do not let these distractions slow down our advance!”
Beside the Hand of Waterloo was a player dressed completely in black armor who carried a golden Lion crest Shield. He looked energetic and strong. It was that Afternoon Knight. He was a young man around twenty five years old. He smiled and said, “Guildmaster, check out those reeds out front. I think there’s some people. They must be the Chinese players, right?”
“Well well, were they planning on ambushing us?”
Hand of Waterloo purposely used his public chat and shouted, “Get ashore and clean them out! Protect Afternoon Knight and clean out the chinese players on the bank. Just what kind of waves are a couple dozen players trying to bring up in Moon City. They’re just looking for death. They’re really not showing any respect to our Moon City players.”
“Yes sir!”
A group of [Dawn] players charged onto the shore and turned their horses around. The battle horses created ripples. Very soon, at least a hundred people had already rode ashore. They swung their weapons and charged ahead. One after another, the [Flying Sword]s flew through the air, cutting through the brown reeds. “Keng keng keng!” the blades rammed against Yue Yao Yan, Matcha, and Meng Yao’s shields, creating sparks. War had been declared.
When I thought of the upcoming battle, I never would have expected that Hand of Waterloo would pay so much attention to the twenty [Zhan Long] horsemen. He actually let Afternoon Knight and his Lion King Shield actively fight against us. Against this hundred [Dawn] players, I didn’t have much of an option either. I pulled out both of my swords and shoiuted, “Lock on to your targets and focus your firepower. We’ll kill them one by one. Once we make contact, retreat. Li Mu, Wang Jian, Matcha, Yue Yao Yan and I will go together. The five of us will take the rear. Everyone follow my command and prepare to retreat into the forest on the west.”
“Yes sir!”
As everyone replied, I had already charged ahead. I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and threw a slash right into the crowd. I dealt a crowd multi tens of thousands of damage. Right after that, I pulled out my Brilliant Flame Emperor, and let loose a whirlwind into the crowd. I had killed the first three [Dawn] players in one sweep. Right behind me, Dong Cheng, Dancing Forest, Thousand Suns, and Xing Lie dealt ranged damage from behind the protection of the knights In the blink of an eye, another ten people fell under our net of firepower.
“Kill, kill them all. Charge through!” Hand of Waterloo raised his sword and charged ahead. That a**hole really isn’t afraid of death at all. He raised his [Star Flame Shield] before him and threw a Star Flame Blade right into my shoulder!
“Keng!”
“10127！”
Under the attack, my health plummeted but I still didn’t give way in the slightest. My shoulder slightly fell under the attack and our horses collided. I then rammed my other shoulder into his chest. I turned around and threw a [Fierce Ice Blade] into his back!
“13281！”
“Huh?”
Hand of Waterloo clearly hadn’t thought that my attack power had reached his point. Right as he turned around, he was caught right in the middle of my [Great Realm of Desolation], which dealt another 14,000 in damage. That, along with the firepower from Dong Cheng and Thousand Suns, Hand of Waterloo’s health dropped to 30% in that moment. I raised my blade and quickly retreated, and I heard a yell, “Afternoon Knight, you go in front of me and lure the damage! Everyone else, charge from the flanks!”
