Chapter 770 - New Years Battle (2/2)

I clenched my teeth, “They’re being that showy?”

Li Mu replied, “Exactly. It gets even worse. New Moon would shout, saying that if any Chinese player entered the map south of the War God River, they would kill them without mercy. New Moon does what they say they will do. How could we stand that kind of shame?”

Wan Jian replied, “We cannot!”

I smiled back, “Yup, we cannot!”

Wan Er smiled and joined in, “Seeing as we can’t, how about [Zhan Long] make the first strike? Either way, it's already been half a month since we’ve had a guild event. Let’s all go to the south War God River and hunt. All of our main players should go!”

I grunted in agreement, “Sounds good. Have all ten thousand of our Steel Blade Cavalry come out of the nest. If New Moon plans on being this arrogant, then clearly, they have something up their sleeve. Port City would not stop at just putting one branch of soldiers within our city limits. Once we attack, it’s best if Enemies at the Gate, Judgement and Prague are all notified. That way, they can provide assistance. If New Moon plans on being this outrageous, then let’s kill all the Port City players in our territory!”

Li Mu laughed, “I agree! Let me make the arrangements. As for our battle plan, Guildmaster and Vice guildmaster can discuss that!”

I glanced at the map and said, “There’s no need to go to the Magic Bamboo Forest. We’ll go around from the Bridge of Fate. It’ll take us two hours to get south of the War God River. Let’s give them a surprise!”

“Yes sir!”

……

As [Zhan Long] prepared for battle, I sent a message to Ye Lai, Yan Zhao Warrior and Misty Clouds. Everyone gathered together. The large guilds all prepared their armies, and we all ran straight for the Southern Map of the War God River. We cannot let the Japanese continue killing our Chinese players! Otherwise, they’ll actually think there’s nobody here to guard the Chinese Servers!”

I replenished my potion and card supply. Afterwards, I urged my horse out of the city gates. Within ten minutes, there were over seven thousand men gathered outside. Since it was late in the evening, gathering together nine thousand Steel Blade Horsemen was no problem. After a few calls, I’m sure that we’ll be able to get ten thousand. At that point, it’d be more than enough to make those Port City players eat their own words!

Wan Er and Dong Cheng both arrived, bringing along the mages, archers and healers with them. Within half an hour, I lead the Steel Blade Horsemen in an advance, and we protected all of the players who weren’t mounts at the center of our formation.

Not long after, our army passed across the Bridge of Fate, over the War God’s River. There, we entered the Xia Yu Army camp. We went around the acres of military stations and then rushed straight towards the southern map of the War God’s River. We progressed very quickly on the main roads. As we advanced, I recounted all of the manpower we had. This time, [Zhan Long] brought 27,000+ players. The whole hive was coming out. We lead the charge, while [Judgement], [Prague] and [Enemies at the Gate] followed from behind. This time, our mission was very simple, and that was to deal one heavy blow to Port City. If we don’t show them a little muscle, they’ll think we could be bullied!

……

Before us, a soft breeze swayed through the trees and branches. South of the War God River was a grass plain. It was a zone that crossed with the forest. Further ahead was an incredibly deep canyon. There was a simple drawbridge across that canyon. Any constructions in the game weren’t easily broken, unless it had taken a large by a city weapon. Thus, our entourage could easily pass over it without spending too much time.

Since this was a simple activity, our operation went by quickly and smoothly. And , to top it off, we did a fairly good job keeping it a secret. We had done so well that when we appeared on the southern map, most of the Korean players we met on the way were completely caught off guard when they saw.

“Look!”

Yao Yan raised her long sword and pointed forward, “There’s a team of Japanese players that are grinding levels. It looks like there’s around 200+ of them. Should we attack?”

I nodded, “This is the Chinese Server territory. They must’ve already prepared themselves for the chance to be killed if they’re here. Attack!”

I swung my blade and charged forward with a group of Steel Blade Horsemen. The Japanese players were thrown into chaos. Quite a few of the horsemen jumped onto their mounts and ran. They didn’t even bother to think about their team mates. In the end, however, they were still killed in the rush of our cavalry.

Qing Qian pulled out her dagger and appeared beside me. She looked into my eyes and said, “Brother XiaoYao, the moment we attack, they’ll all be notified. [New Moon]’s main force is about a thousand yards away. Its around an eight thousand man team. What should we do. Should we immediately charge at them, or should we wait for our ranged players before we make a move?”

I asked, “We’re sure that there’s only 8000 of them?”

Qing Qian nodded, “Yup. The other fourteen thousand are five thousand yards away killing some [House of Prestige] players. They won’t get here anytime soon!”

I immediately raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and shouted, “Steel Blade Horsemen, charge with me! Let’s crush these eight thousand Japs!”

Everyone pulled out their blades. Over 9000 of [Zhan Long]’s Steel Blade Horsemen activated and they charged all at once. Furthermore, Wan Er, Qing Qian, Dancing Forest and Wolf stepped up as well. All of the high level assassins had their [Unrivaled Spirit] effect, which gave them the ability to dash forward at the same speed.

Our hooves thundered through the brush. When nine thousand of the horsemen arrived on the plains, we could see the eight thousand awaiting us in formation. Their mages, archers, and musketeers created a net of firepower. Looks like they were expecting us.

……

I swung my blade and ordered, “Moon Elf Steel Blade Horsemen, you’re now Team One. Everyone else, follow behind them. Today is New Year’s. I wish everyone a happy new year, let’s win this battle!”
