Chapter 861 Blackwater River Battle (1/2)

This river was called the Blackwater River. The river water didn't look black at all. The connecting water streams were all covered in green grass. I charged right at the front and suddenly stopped. The Royal Army and the [Zhan Long] cavalry behind me also followed suit. As for the Fire Axe Army troops not too far away, hundreds of cavalry fell into the Blackwater River. In the next moment, several pairs of eyes appeared. They were all crocodiles who had been hungry for a long time. They all shook their tails which caused many splashes in the water. They looked extremely terrifying. The Fire Axe Army troops were terrified and cried out. Men and horses were ripped into pieces by the bunch of crocodiles and the river surface instantly turned red.

...

It seems like if they let the NPC charge over it, there might be huge losses, so the players should be the ones to do so. The crocodiles were only level 157 Titan Tier beasts and wouldn't be able to instantly kill cavalry players. However, the mounts tended to disappear when they entered the water and their stats would drop by a lot. If they fought, there would still be really risky.

Across the Blackwater River, Dragon Crystal Cannons which gave off intense flames shot out. The number of Flaming Cloud City Dragon Crystal Cannon far exceeded my expectations. This time, they seemed to have used up most of their heavy cannons. The explosions caused many waves of attacks which burnt the players and Fire Dragon Army into pieces, leaving deep holes in the ground. Many of the Fire Dragon army troops lost their fighting spirit, thus crying out and retreating. Unfortunately, they were swallowed by crocodiles the moment they entered the Blackwater River. It was truly an unbearable sight.

Looking at the tragic scene, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, ”It isn't good for us to look like this right?”

I nodded, ”Fire Dragon Cavalry, form up! We will charge in five minutes!”

Lin Wan Er blinked her eyes, ”Why five minutes?”

I looked behind me and said, ”In five minutes, our crossbow carriages will arrive!”

Lin Wan Er instantly understood and smiled, ”I understand!”

In less than five minutes, many carriages pulling the crossbow carriages came along. I raised my arms and ordered, ”Toss items into the river to attract the crocodile group!”

Players all threw their skills into the water. Soon, many crocodiles gathered over. There were even many who charged onto the shore to bite the players. However, that exposed their locations, revealing their heads out of the water. I waved my hand, ”Crossbow carriages, fire!”

The mechanical arrow sounds rang out and many iron arrows shot out with huge strength directly at the heads of the crocodiles. It pierced their mouths and bodies. Some were even too powerful and shot past several layers, inciting pain in one's heart when one looked at it. The crocodile leather could be made into leather shoes and bags and one could earn huge amounts of money from it.

The crocodiles cried out and the water of the Blackwater River turned even redder. I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir Sword and activated my [Icy Wings]. Along with the Steel Blade Cavalry, the Fire Dragon Cavalry and the archers we charged into the river. We waved our weapons as we slashed at the injured crocodiles. The healers also followed up to heal the players at the front. All of them swiftly reached the middle of the Blackwater River. However, at this moment, the rive water suddenly started spinning and formed a whirlpool. Many sharp blade hands rose up and stabbed the chest of a Steel Blade Cavalry, causing thirty thousand damage and instantly killing him. Another hand rose up and struck Mocha's shield, forcing her back. Her beautiful face was filled with shock, ”This... What is this?”

Yue Qing Qian raised her dagger and exclaimed, ”This... Octopus!”

I was shocked, ”It's a Level 155 Demon Harvest Tier BOSS. Quick, lead it over!”

Lin Wan Er swiftly checked its information and said, ”In the water, its attack power is increased by thirty percent. Lead it to shore and then kill it,

this is definitely not the only one here!”

I nodded my head. As expected, another whirlpool emerged and a bunch of Fire Axe Army troops were attracted over. Blood water instantly covered the surface as many blade-wielding appendages smacked the surface of the water. Following that, a scary head appeared, and it was covered with mouths. It was extremely terrifying - it was the kind of stuff you'd only see in nightmares.

I raised my hand and threw the Zhen Yue Blade, attracting the closest octopus over. Then I wadded along the waves onto the shore. I turned around and cast [Strength of a Thousand Men]. After the skill reached a Holy Ghost Tier Three technique, the number of attacks didn't change, but the attack speed and strength greatly increased. Five swords were pretty much finished in 0.7 seconds. I believe that any Pulse Break Style expert wouldn't be able to stack this move. Even I wouldn't be able to if I tried.

I handed the job of killing the octopus over to [Zhan Long] as I continued to activate the [Icy Wings], attracting two more octopuses onto shore. At this moment, the Blackwater River became a hellhole. There were a whole bunch of crocodiles and hippos swallowing players and NPCs. There were also many octopi causing waves there. All of a sudden, the China player reinforcements were cut off and delayed from crossing the river in time. They could only let [Judgment], [Wrath of the Heroes], and the other guilds fight with their backs against the war. Luckily, this bunch wasn't weak. Especially with [Judgment] there, the Indians wouldn't be able to wipe them out in a short amount of time.

After close to half an hour, the beasts within the Blackwater River were finally cleared out. The Royal Army and [Zhan Long] players crossed the river and hopped onto their horses. I continued to use [Icy Wings], stepping into the air to the front of the group and landing rays of sword energy into the lines of enemies. With the [Zhan Long] group, we slashed out an empty area and also blocked off the side attacks from a bunch of Indian players. Ye Lai laughed out loud, ”You all finally came, if not we would've all have died here!”

I was speechless. [Judgment] lost so many people and this fellow could still afford to laugh. However, his body was covered in blood and the axe in his hand had many cracks in it. One could see how intense the situation was after just one short hour. Ye Lai killed many people and entered the top ten ranks.

”Peng!”

Dust flew out in the front and dozens of [Judgment] players were blown to shreds. With a ”pa-ta” sound, a sword which was snapped in half landed onto my shoulder. The sword handle had many arms on it. Lin Wan Er couldn't help but yelp. Destiny's war scenes were just too real and many females couldn't take it. However, the male players went crazy because of this realism. We played the game to chase such matters we couldn't get in real life - to become heroes in a cold weapon era.

Very quickly, more and more players crossed to the other side of the Blackwater River. The cannon fire also slowly stopped. If nothing went wrong, the cannon balls had probably been used up. There were too many Chinese players and they couldn't blow all of us up.
