Chapter 743 – Caught off Guard (1/2)

Chapter 743 - Caught off Guard

Around thirty minutes of fighting later, the battle finished. We could no longer see the red Korean names on the map. On the other hand, several of [Zhan Long]’s Steel Blade Horsemen had forgotten to use their Pardon Cards, and had themselves turned into red names. Four thousand [Millennial Dynasty] players’ were now corpses, and lay on the ground. After they had been defeated, there wasn’t any chance to escape. The Steel Blade Horsemen moved faster than all of them. Even if they had tried, they wouldn’t have been able to escape.

……

Everyone quickly swept the battlefield. I then picked up my sword and examined our losses. Yao Yan lead her horse over and said, “We’ve lost 1200+ people. That [Millennial Dynasty]’s battle power is rather significant.”

I nodded, “I ordered the healers to hurry up and revive everyone. Let’s leave soon and continue south. Let’s go and stop his escape route.”

“Yes sir!”

The light from revival spells being cast flew up into the air. This skill was special to the Chinese Server Healers. In the west, this belonged to the Clergy class and was called [Resurrection]. Each had different characteristics, however the basic idea was the same. The hundreds of millions of skills in the game were all unique in their own way.

……

Time passed by quickly. By the time we finished some more teams from foreign servers, Frost Forest had already roamed the Great Desert with the Zhen Yue Blade for four hours. There was still five hours left before that blade becomes his. Once it had passed the original ten hours that the system had set, then he would be able to return to his city and enter the Safe Zone. At that point, I’m afraid the Zhen Yue Blade will no longer be fated to return to the Chinese Server.

I was feeling a bit anxious. Li Mu and Wang Jian were even more so. As we ran through the desert, we were constantly running towards Frost Forest’s coordinates.

“We’re almost there!”

With the hot wind against his face, Wang Jian pointed, “Based on the last published coordinates of the Zhen Yue Blade, Frost Forest will appear here!”

I swept out my blade, “Spread out the formation!”

Five thousand of [Zhan Long]’s horsemen all spread out, creating an enormous net. This way, as long as Frost Forest entered the net, he won’t be able to escape no matter what.

On top of that, Frost Forest will definitely recognize the [Zhan Long]’s insignia. After all, he was [Casualty]’s guildmaster. [Casualty] had suffered an enormous defeat to [Zhan Long] and as a result had two thousand bodies lying in the desert!

The sand rose in the wind as [Zhan Long] spread out its formation. The scene was a weird phenomena. If Frost Forest could see it, she’d probably jump in surprise.

……

“Di!”

I received a message from the guildmaster of [Judgement], Ye Lai, “Xiao Yao, are you guys going after Frost Forest? Spread out your lines, don’t concentrate in one area, otherwise you’ll never be able to catch up. I brought seven hundred of my Frost Forest Rams to chase after him, but I only managed to see his back. As long as [Zhan Long] can stop him, then in less than half a minute, I’ll be able to kill him from behind!”

My heart rate started to spike and I smiled as I replied, “OK, understood. Goodluck!”

……

The Zhen Yue Blade refreshed its location every three minutes.However, three minutes on horseback was a rather long distance. That was what worried me the most. There was no way to estimate just where that Frost Forest was going to appear. He was the number one player in the Japanese server, reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t be idiotic enough to go in a straight line. If that were so, then he wouldn’t have escaped pursuit for the past four hours.

“He’s here! Right there!” Wang Jian suddenly shouted into the team chat.

I quickly looked in the direction he was pointing at. Just as expected, a figure flashed past in the air. It was running right towards the right wing of the Steel Blade Horsemen. I, coincidentally, was on the right flank. D*mn, this was the perfect place to stand!

“Throw a net and trap him!” I shouted.

Wang Jian took a team of horsemen as they charged over. In the distance, they immediately activated their [Charge]s. That Frost Forest looked to be young man around twenty five years old. He had a long and thin face. His gaze was strong and determined. I could tell at a glance that he wasn’t any ordinary person. He was mounted atop an obsidian dragon. He held a chain in one hand. He suddenly lifted the reins and laughed, “The morons of [Zhan Long]!”

“Grrrr……”

The dragon let out a cry and flew up into the air, around forty yards above the ground. In the end, he had dodged all of the [Charge]es from Wang Jian and the others. In a rage, Wang Jian swung his sword and shouted, “[Flying Sword]s bring him down!”

The Steel Blade Horsemen all threw out their swords. The attacks flew about. [Flying Sword] has an attack range of 15 yards, and would never have been able to reach the dragon’s position. On the ground, Dancing Forest jumped up from the back of Li Mu’s horse and pulled on her bow. “Shua!” She shot a [Meteor Shot] at the dragon. This was an aimed attack.

Frost Forest tugged on his reins and flew in a jagged path, dodging Dancing Forest’s [Meteor Shot]. All we could do was watch as he flashed past over our heads!

I was too far from him, around three hundred yards. I used [Haste] and [Seven Star Teleportation] together but I was still unable to catch up. All I could do was watch as Frost Forest flew forty yards above us. On top of that, the dragon flew 1.5 time faster than the Steel Blade Horses. No matter what, we couldn’t catch up.

“Keep chasing!” I shouted my command. Even if we couldn’t catch up, we still couldn’t give up.

Wang Jian clenched his teeth, “What the f*ck is up with this, there’s actually flying type mounts? That’s too shameless. If that’s the case, isn’t the Zhen Yue Blade going to go to the Japanese?”

Dancing Forest squinted, “Not necessarily. Don’t panic just yet. Let’s keep chasing after him. The dragon’s normal altitude is twenty yards. He’s now flying at 40 yards, which is pushing the stamina of his mount. As long as we can force him to keep it up, then the moment that he use up his mount’s stamina is the moment that he’s gonna have to face his execution.”

Li Mu nodded as he ran, “That’s right. We’ll chase him at full speed. We cannot let Frost Forest get even a chance to breathe!”

……

We continued our pursuit. In the distance, I could see Ye Lai split up his team of [Judgement] players. After a few minutes, I could even see Enchanted Painting and Q-Sword. At least half of the famous ranked players on the CBN Battlenet was here, chasing after Frost Forest. This number one Japanese player is getting a lot of respect right now.
