Chapter 876 Unscrupulous (1/2)
Clear Black Eyes had predicted that the map wouldn't show the accumulated water that occured at the end of Wild Swan Plains. Which was why she thought about drowning the China Region players there. However she also checked the map and knew that the Heaven Blocking Mountain was higher than the other areas and the China Region NPC and players might choose to camp there. Thus she sent people to bury explosives there to deal another blow to us!
...
Heaven Blocking Mountain was still collapsing piece by piece. No one dared to head over there to save them. Marshal Xu Wei's tent was naturally crushed by the Heaven Blocking Mountain. Players kept surging towards where Pearl and I were at. Xiao Lie, Han Yuan also brought the Royal Army Iron Cavalry over. Roughly three thousand of them drowned which was in the acceptable range.
Hero Mound, Prague and Judgement etc guilds also headed over. On the lake, Clear Black Eyes's ships disappeared. It seemed like they had given up on continuing to chase us. Moreover after this win she had already used most of her moves at Clear Black Eyes wouldn't be so stupid to continue to attack us.
Looking at the flames over at Heaven Blocking Mountain, Lin Wan Er's voice was trembling, ”What an amazing Clear Black Eyes... I really didn't expect that she would be so vicious...”
Q-Sword gritted his teeth and said, ”This woman guessed every single enemy movement, how terrifying!”
Yan Zhao Warrior hugged his sword in his arms as he sat on the war horse. He frowned, ”Their Dragon Crystal Cannons can't reach Heaven Blocking Mountain right? Then how did they explode those explosives?”
I sighed and said, ”If I am right they let people to ignite them. She probably sent people there to ambush us before we arrived. At the time that we were killing their Fire Elephant City troops at Fire Elephant Canyon she had already planned this all. She was just waiting for us to fall into the trap.”
A cold intent flashed across Yan Zhao Warrior's eyes, ”Let live people ignite it?”
Ye Lai gritted his teeth, ”What... What a vicious women, how unscrupulous!”
I smiled, ”This seems expected to reach her goals. Such an opponent like her is really terrifying, it won't be that easy for us to conquer Flaming Cloud City.”
Q-Sword said, ”As long as we are careful I believe that we still have a chance to win.”
I nodded, ”En.”
Tang Qi said, ”It is all water in front of us, what should we do? Go around or cut trees to build rafts to head over or directly swim over. However they will definitely bury cannons and archers to kill us, it is tough.”
Lin Wan Er shook her head, ”There is no need to make any rafts, at most two hours the water here will naturally subside.”
”Why are you so sure?” Tang Qi was shocked.
Lin Wan Er smiled, ”The upstream of Wild Swan Plain ammassed so much rainwater while Wild Swan Plain doesn't. Which mean that Wild Swan Plains has an area to get rid of water. If not it would be flooded together.”
Q-Sword prayed, ”Wan'er is really smart!”
Lin Wan Er couldn't help it as she grabbed my hand. I smiled, I felt really happy and blessed to be able to have such a girlfriend.
...
In the end as what Lin Wan Er mentioned the floodwater disappeared really quickly. Trees appeared in front of us once more. Based on the intel from Yue Qing Qian, there was a canyon nearby which led all the water into the ocean. Unfortunately this hole was too small if not we wouldn't have suffered such heavy loses.
The army was a patch of sadness as everyone was thinking about the dead. The digging work at Heaven Blocking Mountain had progressed and a cavalry notice flew over.
The messenger said, ”General Li, Her Highness ordered you to head to the commander tent for a meeting!”
I jumped onto my horse quickly and followed. I also arranged for the [Zhan Long] people to rest to prepare for another round of attacks.
Within the tent, a corpse laid there. His body was covered in white cloth. A bunch of Fire Dragon Generals knelt there and cried, all of them totally didn't look like men.
I frowned, ”This is?”
Pearl said in despair, ”Xu Wei's body has been found, he... he has already died at Heaven Blocking Mountain...”
Xu Wei had died in battle!
