Chapter 777 – Cornered (2/2)

Thankfully we had our own healers at the rear of our formation. Rays of [Heal]s flashed in the air. Killing a Steel Blade Horsemen was not an easy task. After a few minutes, [New Moon] changed their battle strategy and began to focus their firepower on each knight. There would always be at least ten ranged players focusing on one Steel Blade Horsemen. Very soon, they couldn’t take it any longer and finally fell to the ground. Once a horseman fell, the knights would use [Blade Rush] and tear into our frontlines, and then with [Sword Break]+[Flying Sword] they would cut through our lines, messing up our rhythm!

“Hold your positions!”

I raised my bloody Zhen Yue Blade and Dragon Reservoir Sword as I charged into the crowd of enemies and said, “Healers, revive the dead Steel Blade Horsemen. We have to hold our position. There’s still forty minutes left. All we need is to hold on for another forty minutes!”

As I said that, I felt doubt creep into my heart as I looked into the distance. [Judgement] and [Prague] weren’t much better off. Besides [Casualty], they were also up against the top dozen or so guilds in the Japanese Server. I could just imagine the amount of pressure on them.

“D*mm*t!”

One Second Hero pulled out an arrow from his face and grimaced, “We clearly had a much easier time killing the [New Moon] players at Pan Long Peak. What’s going on, why are these f*ckers so hard to kill now!?”

I looked into the distance and said, “Because of Witch Moon…”

“That’s just one woman, can she really have that much influence?” One Second Hero smiled, the scar on his face also rising up, “I can make her call me Honey just by taking off my pants, hmph!”

I smiled back, “Hmph, if you take your pants off now and run over to Witch Moon and get her to call you honey, I’ll immediately let you into the Zhan Long Hall!”

One Second Hero rubbed his nose, “What, I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously. Guildmaster, your one problem is that you take things too seriously. You need to loosen up, otherwise you’d have even more female fans….”

Dancing Forest waved her hand and said, “Xiao Yao already has enough beautiful girls who like him. Any more and the heavens will unleash its fury upon him…”

Li Mu was around three hundred meters away and laughed, “That’s right, Little Dance is completely right. Xiao Yao has way too many fans!”

Wolf shouted back, “Li Mu, how the f*ck did you hear that? Are you actually properly leading the Valiant Bravery Camp!?”

……

We continued holding off the enemy for another twenty minutes. There were over seventeen thousand corpses lying before the [New Moon] army. Practically all of the players in the division had died. [Zhan Long] had lost quite a bit as well. So many of our Steel Blade Horsemen had died that our formation was loose. Thankfully, Meng Yao quickly lead a group of a hundred Horsemen forward in a charge. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

“He he…”

Old K raised his bloody battle axe and huffed. He looked like he had just dragged himself out of a puddle of blood. I was no better. My white battle robe was completely dyed red. Furthermore, it was ragged and covered in bullet and arrow holes alike. Motherf*cker, my Hidden Dragon Armor’s [Thousand Layer Cliff] had already reached a 200% increase in defense. I wasn’t afraid of death at all, however we had lost too many [Zhan Long] members. A lot of players had died twice and were still fighting. I quickly gave the command, telling all players who had died twice to stop reviving. Their mission was over. I did not want [Zhan Long] to be crippled by this battle.

“Careful!”

I looked into the distance and saw that the Beautiful Moon Knights were making their final preparations. They were BUFFing each other, getting ready to charge. I could see Witch Moon wiping her blade, glaring at the [Zhan Long] formation with deep hatred in her eyes.

I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and roared, “Do not retreat. We are not cowards! The worst that can happen is we die here! Gather up your courage and focus. We are [Zhan Long] and we will dominate the world!”

Everyone cheered and whooped. Quite a few of the Steel Blade Horsemen who had died revived once again. When we gathered together two thousand of our cavalry, I felt something rise up in my throat as I looked at the crowd. For the sake of this battle of honor, [Zhan Long] had sacrificed too much!

……

Hooves beat against the ground, making the earth tremble. Witch Moon raised her long sword and shouted, “Ranged players, charge with me. We’ll overwhelm them in one charge! [Zhan Long] is at its death bed. No matter what, they are too weak for us. Kill them all!”

I clenched my teeth and raised my Zhen Yue Blade before my chest, “Steel Blade Horsemen, charge with me. We must maintain our advantage in speed. Ranged players follow behind. We’re fighting to the death today!”

Wan Er nodded in agreement, “Good. All forces, advance. Otherwise we’ll be stuck on the defense!”

Everyone quickly dashed forward together. Two thousand Steel Blade Horsemen accelerated together. Even as our armor cracked and our blades dulled, nobody shirked their duty. Each had a fire in their eyes and courage in their hearts.
