Chapter 791 - The Inception of the Heavenly Water Halberd
“Commander, should we go and provide reinforcements to the Fierce Wind Forest?”
Han Yuan raised his bloody spear, his face covered in dried mud and blood. I could barely see his eyes past all the dirt. He clenched his teeth, “There’s just too few of our men left. We don’t even have enough for a decent battle. If we go and fight another battle against the Blood Giants, I’m afraid that we won’t have anyone left. General, please think twice!”
I sat upon my Flying Scythe Horse and examined the scene before me. It was clear that the Royal Army had no strength left after the past few fierce battles. Over half of the people left had sustained injuries. If we continued like this, we would only be rushing towards our deaths.
I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and said, “Royal Army, retreat. The adventurers will deal with Han Lin’s final attack. As for the Fierce Wind Forest, there’s the Flame Dragon Army and the Xia Yu Army there, no need for us to go.”
Long Xing was stunned. He walked over with his blade and said, “My lord, are you planning on going against a royal decree? If his majesty decides to pursue this, I’m afraid the Royal Army won’t be able to stand against the punishment!”
I smiled, “It’s no problem, I’ll take all responsibility. Besides, if the Royal Army really were to go to the Fierce Wind Forest, there’s a chance that Blood Giant Kehl will recognize us. With a single blow, he’ll be able to demolish us. At that point, I won’t have a Royal Army. Why should I be afraid of defying a decree? How about this; Long Xing, Han Yuan, take the rest of the soldiers and go into the Southern district of the Fierce Wind Forest and take care of the wounded. Do not get close to the Blood Giants. That is how we’ll do this!”
Han Yuan replied, “My lord, what about you?”
I looked over at the movements on the water and said, “Han Lin is about to lead the final wave of Sea Demons. I will guard this place with my friends. You guys must immediately head to the Fierce Wind Forest, and hurry!”
“Yes sir!”
……
The Royal Army’s infirmary camp leaned against each other and retreated. Long Xing and Han Yuan began directing soldiers to push over the Crossbow Carts and cannons. Close to thirty thousand Royal Army soldiers had come to face the Sea Demon Tribe in battle. Now there were less than fifteen thousand left. While we took heavy damage, after that bitter battle, every surviving veteran rose at least five levels and a tier. Overall, it was actually an enormous increase to our battle power. If they went through another couple of battles like this, then these NPCs would become even stronger. This was the ultimate goal I had for these battles. If the Royal Army’s overall strength was on par, if not stronger, than some top tier player teams, then that would truly be a battle force. Otherwise, it’d be too easy for them to be whittled down by the player teams.
When the entire Royal Army retreated, I went to the [Zhan Long] camp. Li Mu, Qing Qian, Wan Er, and the rest were preparing the formations.They made sure each squad had a tank, a healer, and a damager. Otherwise, it would greatly affect their battle potential.
I could hear a horn sound across the sea’s horizon. The final attack was finally here. I looked over at the central camp and saw that King Rob’s central army actually didn’t retreat a single step. He sat in his camp with his daughter Pearl at his side. It looked like he was determined to make today Han Lin’s last day on earth. I did see that Theodore and Owen already took their troops to deal with the Blood Giants.
“He he!”
Li Mu smiled, “Han Lin is finally here. We get another chance to meet a Demon King Tier Hybrid Demon. How do you think he wants to die?”
Qing Qian giggled, “Brother Li Mu, stop joking around. I’d thank the heavens and the earth if I survive this battle, and you’re bluffing with talk about killing him? That’s too unrealistic…”
Wan Er smiled, “Let’s see how it goes. We’ll let the NPC army go first and then make our move when we see the opportunity.”
“Okay!”
……
I saw that the formation on the sea banks was spread very thinly. [Legend], [Hero’s Mound], [Vanguard], [Prague], and [Judgement]’s main forces were still there. It looked like the players were all waiting to see the stance of a Demon King. The Demon King Han Lin’s escort was pushing closer and closer. It floated above the surface of the waves and hit the banks with a “Hua La!” A three-headed dragon sprang up from the ocean, shocking everyone. Han Lin’s throne was being pulled by a three-headed dragon?
“What the f*ck, so flashy…” Wang Jian exclaimed.
I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir Sword, “Steel Bladed Horsemen, prepare for battle!”
Right then, a bell sounded through the air——
“Ding!”
“System Notification: Please note, the Hybrid Demon King [Demon King Han Lin] with the Country Weapon [Water God’s Halberd] (China) has appeared on the southern banks of the Sea of No Return. Kill the Sea Demon King and you will have a 100% chance of getting the Water God’s Halberd. Warriors and Heroes, kill the enemy for the sake of your country’s honor!”
……
Everyone stiffened. Han Lin actually brought such a great gift with him. It looked like the Water God’s Halberd was fated to stay within the Chinese server. The players from the other servers were probably dying of envy. Several main cities didn’t even get their first Country Weapon and the second one already appeared in the Chinese server. But it made sense. The Tian Ling City’s territory was just so large and we had an enormous player population, so naturally we’d need more resources. Otherwise, how were we supposed to protect our borders?
