Chapter 793 - Wheel Battle (1/2)

Chapter 793 - Wheel Battle

I couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Han Lin rushed into the central camp and killed several NPCs from the Winds of Battle. In turn, I gained precious time for my skills to recover. If I took another round of attacks from Han Lin, I was afraid I would die on this spot. The [Twin Dragons] saved me once, but for a short period of time, it wouldn’t be able to save me a second time.

……

“General Li…”

Pearl walked over and saw the deep gashes in my Hidden Dragon Armor, “You… Are you ok?”

I could see large tears welling up in the princess’ eyes. I couldn’t help but feel my heart soften. I was brought up to this position as the Royal Army Commander by her. The princess was actually worried about my safety against a terrifying enemy like Han Lin. That was enough to show that she wasn’t just using me, or at least, it wasn’t as simple as using me.

I wiped the scratches clean on the chest of my Hidden Dragon Armor and said, “I’m fine, your highness, you don’t have to worry about it. But just what are we going to do about Han Lin? Almost no one here can kill him…”

Pearl turned around to the mage and said, “Teacher, what do you think?”

Bai Li Ning stood there with the aura of an immortal. But at that moment, he suddenly shuddered and spat out blood. It looked like he wasn’t much better off than me. When his shield dimension broke, he took enormous damage.

King Rob raised his Ruler’s Sword, frustration written across his face, “Pearl, General Li, do not initiate another attack. The Empire cannot lose commanders like you. Just let… Just let the warriors of the Winds of Battle army attack Han Lin. No matter how strong he is, there’s a limit. As long as we whittle away at that strength, we’ll be able to find an opportunity to kill him. This time, we have to kill Han Lin and force thee Sea Demons out of our territory!”

I exclaimed, “We’re just going to let the Winds of Battle soldiers die for nothing? This…”

King Rob scoffed, “General Li Xiao Yao, don’t be too soft hearted. As a commander, you should know that sometimes, you have to be able to use any method possible for the sake of victory!”

I gave a curt nod, “Yes, your majesty…”

I quickly turned around and went back towards my camp. I gulped down a potion and leapt onto my horse. That’s when I saw that Wan Er, Li Mu and the others took a team of [Zhan Long] people and were only 200 yards away from the Central Camp. Not only that, but [Legend], [Hero’s Mound], [Judgement], and the [Prague] players were all there, waiting for Han Lin to die.

……

“Xiao Yao!”

Ye Lai walked over with his battle axe in hand, “Just now, what happened with the king and the other NPCs? Han Lin hasn’t gone and killed the king yet, has he?”

I shook my head, “Not yet, but it’s hard to say in the future…”

The [Prague] guildmaster Yan Zhao came over and said, “This battle has lasted for a long time. Who knows how many soldiers from the Tian Ling City empire have died for this fight.. For us players, it’s free equipment and experience, but for the future country battles, it’s not necessarily a good thing. The more soldiers from Tian Ling the die, the lower our defenses become.”

I smiled, “Uncle Yan Zhao, don’t worry too much. The city will spawn new soldiers. At the very least, we won’t have too few troops. Besides, this is a game, not the real world. Everything goes much quicker.”

“You’re right!” Yan Zhao looked at the distant cavalry charging at Han Lin, “Including the players and the NPC, Han Lin has killed at least 20,000. F*ck, he’s a killing machine….”

Wan Er smiled reassuringly, “If he couldn’t, how would he have the face to hold the name as one of the top ten BOSSes in Destiny!”

Yan Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Wan Er , Han Lin is carrying the Water God’s Halberd. Are you guys interested? Ah, nevermind, forget I asked. How could [Zhan Long] not be interested. It’s a country weapon. The stats will undoubtedly be incredible.”

I replied, “The Water God’s Halberd, will go towards the person that can use it. How about we make a pact, whoever deals the last strike to Han Lin will be the one to use the Water God’s Halberd. That way we won’t start fighting amongst each other. How’s that sound? Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Ye Lai, what do you think?”

Fang Ge Que raised his staff and smiled, “Xiao Yao’s suggestion isn’t bad. If we start fighting amongst each other, we’ll just be smashing our own foot. How about this, whoever killed Han Lin, will be the one who get’s the Water God’s Halberd. And then, the guilds in this pact must use their main forces to protect that halberd for ten hours, so that it doesn’t end in enemy hands. How does that sound? This kind of a gentleman’s pact is pretty good, don’t you think?”

Ye Lai nodded, “I agree.”

Jian Feng Han and Simple whispered for a bit and finally gave a nod, “[Vanguard] agrees as well.”

Q-Sword, “Alright!”

And with that, Yan Zhao Warrior, Mu Xuan, Misty Cloud and the other main guilds all gave their agreements. With that, the pact was made. I looked at my own skill set and saw that [Nine Heavens] had finished its cooldown. With this, the chances of me killing the BOSS was pretty high. Of course, it’d be the best if we could keep the Water God’s Halberd within [Zhan Long].

This all came with the condition that we first kill Han Lin. The current difficulty was still too high for that.
