Chapter 883- Battle of Waterfront City (1/2)
Waterfront City was a strong castle located on the Wild Butterfly Plains. It had nothing to rely on to defend. If one had to say there was, then it would be the Bright God Hall behind it. There were a bunch of Saint Cavalry as well as an omnipotent god. However, all those were just rumors — there was no player who had ever seen the god decree in the Bright God Hall.
……
I didn't hurry as I waited for the Royal Army's Blade Shield Unit to arrive before we slowly pushed forward. The [Zhan Long] players weren't anxious to kill for Country War Achievement Points. The players in Waterfront City were lying in wait and they weren't easy to take down. It’d be better for us to avoid the brunt of their attacks.
Li Mu patted his horse and said, ”Got the intel. At least seven million Waterfront City players are waiting for us in the Wild Butterfly Plains. The three main NPC armies have all come out of the city. It seems like they are planning to have a final battle with us outside the city.”
I smiled, ”How many people do we have?”
”Ten million at most.”
”This might be what they are gunning for. They have been waiting while most of us have gone through the Flaming Cloud City war, and our levels and equipment have dropped. Moreover, we might not dare to fight to the death.”
Li Mu smiled, ”Actually, they might be wrong. That is because their intel system doesn’t have information about Duke Luo Xun. These two hundred and fifty thousand cavalry will probably cause a whole bunch of problems for the Waterfront City players.”
”Alright!”
When we continued forward, we could already hear the booming cannon sounds. The battle had begun!
I guided my horse forward for a bit and when I stepped onto the Wild Butterfly Plains, smoke billowed in the sky in the distance. The Rongdi Army was fiercely charging and the Waterfront City armies had spread themselves out. The Heavy Shield Unit was at the front with the archers at the back. Cannon sounds covered the area and left many deep holes in the plains. At the same time, it also blew the Rongdi Army cavalry into pieces.
The ground shook as I patted the horse and headed forwards slowly. I noticed that Rumor had led his men up. This deputy commander of the China Region seemed really anxious, afraid that his guild wouldn't get credit. He was just as anxious as Luo Xun.
Behind me, the [Zhan Long] Steel Blade Cavalry and Fire Dragon Cavalry slowly pushed forward. Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Mocha were at the front. I asked, ”Have you noticed the [Conquest] players?”
”No.” Wang Jian shook his head and said, ”Japan's top guild [Casualty] and second guild [New Moon] haven't appeared yet. Waterfront City's top three guilds are nowhere to be seen.”
I nodded and smiled, ”This is correct. If I were them I also wouldn't choose to fight here. They will have more of an advantage defending the city. The seven million here are probably to drain our energy.”
Li Mu said, ”Then what should we do? Just watch?”
”Of course not. The NPC Marshal wouldn't let us just stand here either.”
Before I said that, a messenger charged over with a flag. He hollered, ”Royal Army General Li Xiao Yao listen up, orders from the Marshal. Royal Army charge from the left-wing, crush their cannon formation in two hours. If not, you will be beheaded!”
I frowned, ”This Marshal Luo Xun really is brave enough to actually give such an order. If it was anyone else I would have killed him. It’s only because he has two hundred and fifty thousand Rongdi Army troops and the Royal Army is tired.”
……
”Let's go!”
I raised my hand and pulled out the Dragon Reservoir Sword, ”We will attack from the left-wing, avoid their cannon fire. Attack!”
Li Mu and the others had waited for a long time. After they heard my order they charged over — there was one reward per city taken. However, after the seven days there would also be a final reward, and that was the more important one. The more Country War Achievement Points we get, the better. The Waterfront City players in front of us now were mostly second and third-string ones and thus the best targets for us to get points.
