Chapter 855- Wolf instincts (2/2)
One Second Hero clenched his fists and said flatly, ”I will volunteer to be the first to go up.”
Li Mu also said expressionlessly, ”Clear Black Eyes is the top IBN Battlenet player. I think you will be the first to go up and also be the first to die...”
One Second Hero added, ”Guild Leader, I want to report Li Mu and remove his Elder position. He is so aggressive. Pull him down and I will bring my men to beat him up every day!”
I said flatly, ”Go ahead and beat him up, I won't care either way.”
One Second Hero was stunned, ”...”
……
I returned to the [Zhan Long] main formation and did a headcount. We sent out eight thousand and lost a full three thousand. In addition, we also lost a thousand Fire Dragon Cavalry. They charged all the way at the front so they lost the most. However, if not for the long spear formation of the Fire Dragon Cavalry, the Steel Blade Cavalry would have twice as many losses.
The country war rules indicated that if one died, one could still revive. Upon the first revival, a player's level would be reduced by one, the second was two levels, the third time it would be four, and then eight. So one could still revive after the first time. I ordered those dead Fire Dragon Cavalry and Steel Blade Cavalry to revive and fight once more. [Zhan Long] could at most die twice for this country war, or maybe... three times?
The Fire Dragon Cavalry quickly reached the frontlines to replace the Steel Blade Cavalry to continue to fight against the Indian Region Players. After the heals from the healers, the players all had the blessing of new lives. Thinking back to the battle just now, it was really intense — many players were blown into meat paste by the heavy cannons. More of them died to the spear formation while most of the corpses were still lying on the ground with the spears. The battlefield was dyed in blood, and a burnt odor pervaded the area. Most of the people couldn't take it anymore, especially the females. Mocha, Yue Yao Yan, and the other girls nearly vomited so they were glad to back off into the forest.
I led the Royal Army to fight for a very long time and have long since gotten used to such intense battlefields. Moreover, I also saw such things in real life too, having personally killed over a hundred people in reality by slicing off their heads. I also saw many bodies shiver and spit blood on the ground before as well. As long as one knows that the person deserved to be killed, then it is enough. One had to fight to stop battles so I just killed people who wanted to kill me.
However, following that thought, I also killed many people. Shouldn't I be killed too? I couldn't help but mock myself. Forget it, there was no need to think about it. I just know that the Artificials were killing people mercilessly for power and money. Such people deserve to die! Since Wang Xin and the others didn’t want to have fresh blood on their hands, then I shall be the one to do so. Someone has to take up the responsibility.
……
Just as I was thinking about that, a bell rang across the sky...
”Ding!”
System Notification: Player Clear Black Eyes (India) has successfully killed player Bai Li Ruo Feng (CBN Battlenet rank 5) once, thus obtaining 114 country war points!
……
I raised my head and looked at the announcement. I couldn't help but frown, ”Bai Li Ruo Feng was killed? [House of Prestige]’s defenses are so weak...”
Lin Wan Er slowly pulled out her dagger from the chest of a cavalryman and said, ”Clear Black Eyes is also an archer, for her to kill Bai Li Ruo Feng from afar is normal. However, this is a waste — the top archer of China was killed by the top archer of India. This will definitely affect [House of Prestige]’s morale.”
Li Mu asked from afar, ”Should we assist them?”
I took in a deep breath and before I spoke Mocha interrupted, ”There’s no need. After killing [House of Prestige], Clear Black Eyes will bring her guild to retreat, just like how the Clear Current Army General ordered them to retreat...”
”Investigate the situation,” I said.
A few seconds later, Yue Qing Qian said, ”I got it. The Flaming Cloud City Emperor ordered not too long ago for the entire Clear Current Army to head west of Flaming Cloud City to support a stronghold. I heard that Swirling Abyss City sent seven million players to attack that fortress.”
I couldn't help but laugh, ”Swirling Abyss City is the Russian main city? They actually came to join the fight!”
Yue Qing Qian asked, ”Brother Xiao Yao, what do we do now?”
The corner of my lips relaxed and I smiled, ”Very simple, there is a condition in the country war rules. Once a country war begins, all City Return Scrolls and Teleportation Formations are useless. The twenty million Flaming Cloud City players spent four hours coming over from Flaming God Castle so they have to spend another four hours heading back. We can go forward using these four hours to kill as many as we can. These country war points are freebies!”
”Okay!”
……
My words made the [Zhan Long] members really happy. Everyone wanted to stand up and stick out in the country war and the points were the most direct method.
However, the core members of India Region like Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple weren't so simple and they would have their own tactics to cover their retreat. They will send a few big guilds to cover them while the rest quickly left. But, this wouldn't be able to block the flames of revenge from China, especially with the few huge guilds charging and killing together. The ten million people were like tigers chasing after sheep, sweeping out in an unrestrained manner among the seventeen million India Region players. Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple had calculated incorrectly and didn't expect for Swirling Abyss City to suddenly launch an attack.
Of course, the main reason wasn't just that. Rather, they had left a lot of players in the city to defend against the Russians. That city would become empty and they also needed to defend against the Koreans and Japanese. Everyone was a wolf and they were all defending against one another.
