Chapter 775 - Witch Moon (2/2)
“Shua!”
While Goto Aono had tried to escape, he was immediately grabbed to my side. His face turned green once he realized his fate. Li Mu appeared at our side. He immediately thrust his palm out, dealing the curse. Wan Er quickly followed the attack with her [Blade of the Death God]. Goto Aono’s reaction speed was truly quick. “Keng!” His battle axe blocked the first attack. He then swung his axe once again towards Wan Er’s hip. Never would he have thought that Wan Er had already learned the [Concealed Spirit] skill. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared, and the attack fell into thin air. The next second, the beautiful little miss gently landed on the hilt of his battle axe, her slender snow white legs right before his face. By the time he looked up, Wan Er had already thrown a kick!
“Peng!”
Goto Aono’s face was smashed in, and his two front teeth flew out. Li Mu and I surrounded him from both sides with a barrage of attacks. Like that, the Berserker ranked seventh in the JBN rankings was killed!
After we killed Goto Aono, I immediately retreated. One of the enemy’s flag bearers called out, “Are there any healers around? Hurry up and revive Goto Aono!”
However, once one of the healer girls slid off the horse and opened her hand to cast a revive, her mouth formed a small O in shock, “Mr. Flag Bearer, we can’t…. We can’t revive him. The system gave a notice that for the next 179 minutes, we cannot revive Goto Aono. What’s going on?”
The flag bearer glared over at us and cursed, “Motherf*cker, it’s one of their special skills. Kill them! Avenge Goto Aono!”
……
I quickly cut through the crowd of people. “Keng!” I parried the flag bearer’s blade and smiled. “This is our territory, we are the ones who make the decisions here!”
Shock and frustration flashed across the flag bearer’s face. Before he could react, he took a whole round of [Combo] attacks from my blade. After [Strength of a Thousand Men] was unleashed, he immediately fell and could not revive for the next sixty minutes!
Seizing this opportunity, I charged out of the formation. Solely based on my high defense and ability to not be stunned, I did not take any of the Dark Knights seriously. I lead Matcha, Wan Er, and Li Mu through the battlefield. I kept my health up through fighting, with my 20% [Drain], my health never fell below 50%. Even if I was attracting fire from [Flying Sword]s and [Battle Axe Throw]s, they were not an issue.
In the distance, I could see Wang Jian, Old K, Bai Qi and Dong Cheng Lei all busy fighting the enemies before them. They were also attracting quite a bit of fire, decreasing the amount of impact that their fellow Steel Blade horsemen were taking. Those kids all had incredible weapons, not to mention the Deer Cry Set. In terms of stats, they had the clear advantage. Afterwards, Darling Duck and the others would immediately heal them so they could continuously fight without fear of death.
Slowly, [Zhan Long] was gaining the upper hand in the battle against [Casualty]. It was to the point where Meng Yao was able to lead a squad of knights in a charge to counterattack the enemy!
The other guilds weren’t faring as well, however. [Prague] and [Judgement] were still locked in a fierce battle. Especially [Judgement], which was fighting head on against the cavalry that was personally lead by Frost Forest Rams. In those ten minutes alone, over a thousand of the Frost Ram Knights had died in battle. Meanwhile, the enemy seemed to be coming at them in endless waves. This unending stream of reinforcements was whittling away at our energy and morale.
……
“Will you guys be able to hold your position?” I messaged Ye Lai.
He quickly replied as he swung his battle axe, “At the very least, we can hold our position. Don’t worry. It’s just two hours. We can do it! 4”
He had been in such a hurry to type that he had even made a typo. It looked like the situation was dire on their front.
As Li Mu was fighting, he looked over at me and said, “Looks like their situation isn’t great. We’re losing too many people too quickly. Especially over at [Judgement] and [Prague]’s front!”
I nodded, “Let’s reorganize the Steel Blade Horsemen’s formation. Once we do that, we’ll advance forward. Right now, the only way we can utilize our greatest advantage is by charging our cavalry. If we just use them for defense, it’ll be too much of a waste!”
“Understood!”
A few minutes later, a branch of seven thousand Steel Blade Horsemen appeared on the frontlines of [Zhan Long]. Under my command, they charged out all out once with incredible speed and force. The Japanese players immediately took the hit. Soon after, when we reached full speed, we were like a blade, slicing through the chaos between the two sides. The Japanese must’ve never thought that we would switch to the offensive with such a disadvantage in numbers. They must’ve been thinking that we’d gone crazy. But once the Steel Blade Horsemen revealed their power, that thought was immediately banished!
“Kill!”
Leading the cavalry at the very front, I raised my Zhen Yue Blade and activated my special skill —— [Zhen Yue Battlesong]!
“Hua La!”
A deep blue energy wave exploded in the air, sending out waves that spread out over the entire formation. Every Chinese player within a thousand yard radius of me had their base attack power increase by four thousand points. I had carefully chosen a clustered area with as many Chinese players as possible. The effect was immediate, and a completely new killing frenzy began.
……
These precious ten minutes were also our greatest opportunity. Not just [Zhan Long], but all of the other guilds were beginning to launch their counterattack. I could even see the cavalry that fought the Frost Forest Rams were trying to defend against the surge. Despite that, we couldn’t be held back. Ye Lai lead a group of Frost Ram Knights who were in critical health in a counter attack, killing a whole group of Dark Knights!
In ten short minutes, we had managed to kill over fifty thousand of the enemy’s troops!
Increasing base attack by four thousand points was already a fairly crazy stat. It was basically an incomparable stat, and so naturally nobody could defeat us. Those ten minutes were the Port City Knights most devastating nightmare!
……
However, ten minutes quickly passed by, and the stat disappeared. Our disadvantage in numbers was once again sticking out. Even worse was the fact that a group of people had appeared on our left flank, the weakest point in [Zhan Long]’s formation. I could see three thousand Japanese troops in the distance. All of their mounts were the same silver color. There was a beautiful female knight leading them in the front. It was Witch Moon; The guildmaster of [New Moon] had appeared. She was ranked second strongest in the JBN Rankings, and she was leading three thousand of her Beautiful Moon Knights against us!
This was the prelude to a pincer attack. It was just as Frost Forest had said, the true battle had just begun!
