Chapter 820 - Gawain’s Reinforcements (2/2)
“27569!”
“Ah….” With a cry, Dawn Hero clutched his chest and fell off his horses. “Pa ta!” His corpse was trampled underfoot by the Blizzard Army.
Drunken Cold Rain parried the projectiles with his shield. It wasn’t until he had lead his several thousand knights halfway across the field before he realized that only a few [Wrath of Heroes] players were left. His face turned green, “F*ck, what kind of attack power is this?!”
Little Piggy’s eyes were red. He raised his musket and shouted, “Everyone retreat! Assume a shield formation and protect all the ranged players. We can’t take these Hybrid Demon Troops head on!”
Liu Ying was stupefied. He tightened his fist, “Sh*t, isn’t this too OP?”
On the other side of the field, Wang Ze Cheng had appeared as well. He was dressed in awe-inspiring armor with a halberd that looked like it was painted with the colors of the sky. He rode in on a fiery red horse. Despite the costume, it was clear that this trash’s strength was nothing compared to the real General Lu Bu. On the other hand, with Yan Suo sitting on his horse, it did look as though General Lu Bu was carrying the legendary beauty, Diao Chan*.
[Hero’s Mound: Division One], which was under Wang Ze Cheng’s command, was practically a separate entity from the original [Hero’s Mound]. They only worked together on the surface due to their respect for Wang Ze Cheng. Under Division One, there were about a dozen other divisions, giving Wang Ze Cheng around 30,000 troops. Of course, this was an army raised purely on money, and as such their battle power was nothing great. But, they did have strength in numbers, and they weren’t easily provoked.
There was a long history of enmity between [Zhen Long] and Wang Ze Cheng. The only issue this time was that there just wasn’t enough time to deal with them. No matter what, Luo Ling and Gawain’s armies were enough to throw Wang Ze Chang’s 30,000 men into chaos.
Yan Suo sat on Wang Ze Cheng’s lap. She picked up her dagger and slid off his horse, “My love, when are you going to help me get my [Unrivaled Spirit]?”
Wang Ze Cheng’s mouth twitched, “That skill book is just too hard to get. Out of everyone in Tian Ling City, only a few assassins possess it. Are you envious because [Zhan Long]’s Lin Wan Er, Qing Qian, and Wei Liang all have it?”
Yan Suo stuck her chest out and glanced at [Zhan Long]’s front, “Hmph, Lin Wan Er? You must still be pining for her, aren’t you?”
Wang Ze Cheng’s expression turned cold, “So what if that is true?”
Yan Suo stiffened, and she murmured, “Just what am I to you? Am I your lover or am I just a plaything?”
Wang Ze Cheng chose not to answer. He raised his halberd and charged ahead, shouting, “Set up a defensive formation and prepare to receive this wave!”
In the next moment, the Blizzard Army troops arrived right before them, Battle Horses whinnied as they rammed against the shields. “Peng, peng, peng!” The impact was terrifying. Some of the knights were thrown back from the force. The first charge was enough to push through 4 to 7 layers of defense before they were finally stopped. The Demon troops raised their spears and charged ahead, their blades flashing in the light. The spear cut through the mass of people. In a split second, AOE skills flashed, dealing massive damage to the knights. Just that one attack was enough to make [Zhan Long] lose close to a hundred Steel Blade Horsemen.
“Ranged players, increase the pressure!” I shouted.
[Zhan Long]’s ranged players were already firing away. Facing these fierce Blizzard troops with their numbers was incredibly difficult to deal with, making it impossible to not take losses.
I raised my blade and rushed into the fray. As I slashed and cut through the monsters, my attacks were starting to lack strength and power. I roared, activating [Ice Wing]s, gaining those boosts. The icy power seeped into my body, creating a pair of wings on my back. My Zhen Yue Blade and Dragon Reservoir Sword now displayed a 5-yard long attack range. Just one slash dealt AOE damage. Not to mention, this sword range could be overlayed with other skills. The killing power was incredible. The price of this was 1G per second. However, my bag was filled to the brim with gold, I paid no mind to it!
I swept through the Blizzard Troops with my Zhen Yue Blade. “Shua!” The icy blade flashed through, and I dealt a [Tempest Sword], dropping the health of all the monsters around me. Level 6 Hybrid Demons couldn’t defend against my attack at all——
“27161!”
“26171!”
“57784!”
That critical attack was the most fearsome one. The Steel Blade Horsemen around me were all gaping, “D*mn, the guildmaster’s attack power is just inhuman!”
I didn’t have the leisure time to chat with them. I was switching between giving orders to the Royal Army and roaming the front and the back lines of the [Zhan Long] formation to decrease the pressure on them as much as I could. At the same time, Wan Er activated her [Unrivaled Spirit], and her [Heavenly Armor] as she walked back and forth on the frontlines. Li Mu, Wang Jian, and the others were leading a group of knights dressed in Deer Cry Armor to hold off the onslaught of attacks, while Darling Duck and the other healers locked their spells onto the players in the front row, fighting to maintain the root of our formation. It was only because of these efforts that we were able to prevent these Tier 6 Hybrid Demons from breaking through our formation.
Unfortunately, the good times don’t last. Not long afterwards, another group of people charged out from the Revered One’s City. They were all archers riding on horses. This time, it was Luo Lin’s troops. Players began to die in the droves around them. These were Tier 6 ranged attackers. There was no difference between those and a nightmare for cloth armor type players like archers, ranged attackers, and assassins.
