Chapter 741 – Desert Chase (1/2)
Chapter 741 - Desert Chase
“What’s going on?”
I asked in the guild chat, “Where’d that Frost Forest come out from?”
One Second Hero’s voice trembled, “D*mmit.. he’s a Japanese player!”
“Wha?!”
Li Mu roared, “We let a jap take our country weapon? Yong Jie, how useless are you?”
Yong Jie exploded then, “What the f*ck do you think? You think I want this? Cang Cheng that motherf*cker is ahead of us with his Greedy Wolf Raiders. Enchanted Painting, Jian Feng Han and the others are close behind. Before them are the four thousand Steel Blade Horsemen who even got the chance to get close to that Zhen Yue Blade. That Frost Forest is a swordsman that rides on a dragon type mount. When Cang Cheng’s health had dropped to critical levels, he charged forward and plundered the blade and then flew off into the sky. What was I supposed to do?!”
I quieted them down, “Stop arguing. What’s most important now is to get that Zhen Yue Blade back! Yong Jie, take the Steel Blade Horsemen and split them up into four teams of a thousand people to entrap that Frost Forest. Either way, no matter what, we must take that Zhen Yue Blade back. If the Japanese take the Chinese Country Weapon, that will be the ultimate embarrassment and we will be to blame.”
One Second Hero nodded, “Ok, understood!”
I continued, “Continuously report Frost Forest’s position. We’ll secretly enter from Moon City’s territory and outflank them. Good luck. Maybe we’ll even be able to get the Lion King Shield and the Zhen Yue Blade!”
Li Mu nodded, “Yes sir!”
Wang Jian smiled from the side and lowered his voice, “In the end, Brother Xiao Yao is still the one that can remain the most calm. Just now, Li Mu and Yong Jie nearly panicked…”
Li Mu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and chuckled, “Caring can create confusion. I was just feeling indignant that the Zhen Yue Blade had been taken by the Japanese. Yong Jie, my apologies, I shouldn’t have acted that way towards you.”
One Second Hero, “That’s fine, just treat me to some beer later on.”
“OK！”
……
Our party continued forward. With the Steel Blade Horses’ speed and stamina, we easily had an advantage over most of Moon City’s horses. Around four hours after we had left Moon City, no one was able to catch up behind us. Even Hand of Waterloo seemed to have given up on the pursuit after the Lion King Shield. When we to a good look at the situation though, he probably hadn’t actually given up. He wasn’t the type to do so. Otherwise, how else would he have been able to sit in the seat as number one in the French server.
The Lion King Shield had already been in our hands for close to five hours. We were practically counting down the minutes.
Even though we had been on online for so long, nobody seemed too weary. With the excitement from two country weapons, it seemed that everyone had limitless energy.
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed. The rising sun peaked over the eastern horizon of the dusty desert. Countless figures appeared in the distance. They looked to be the Steel Blade Horsemen from our guild. There was a total of two thousand of them, lead personally by Death God’s Elegy. From a distance, that [Zhan Long] division guildmaster waved his weapon and laughed, “Guildmaster, the Lion King Shield really is with you guys!”
I nodded with a smile. I finally felt a sense of grounding in my heart. With the protection of two thousand Steel Blade Horsemen, this Lion King Shield was practically ours!
“Now what do we do?” Death God’s Elegy raised his spear and gave a command to his two thousand soldiers. He smiled, “Should we head back to Tian Ling City, or?”
Without any hesitation, I replied, “Let’s not go back. Rumor, Jian Feng Han, and Q-Sword won’t let [Zhan Long] safely get back. Death God, lead your two thousand Horsemen to protect Matcha and continue roamingthe desert. Avoid any and all grinders. If you really can’t avoid them, then kill them as fast as possible. Have the rest of the [Zhan Long] players all enter the desert. Our top priority is protecting the Lion King Shield!”
Death God’s Elegy sternly replied, “Guildmaster, don’t worry. I will not dishonor my mission!”
Qing Qian asked, “Brother Xiao Yao, then what do we do?”
I replied, “Divide out four thousand of the Steel Blade Horsemen. We’ll go after Frost Forest. We must get them to drop that Zhen Yue Blade! We must!”
Death God’s Elegy replied, “It won’t be that simple. Frost Forest holds the number one seat in the JBN Battlenet Rankings. He’s level 127 and is the guildmaster of the number one guild in Japan, [Casualty]. I heard that [Casualty] already has five thousand men in the desert. This time, they’re really planning on fighting to the death!”
“That’s just five thousand”
I turned around and looked at everyone with a smile, “Would four thousand of [Zhan Long]’s Steel Blade Horsemen really be afraid of five thousand of theirs?”
Li Mu raised his sword and laughed, “Kill them all and get that Zhen Yue Blade!”
