Chapter 904 - Crucial person (2/2)
[Flying Dragon] Guild Leader Soaring Dragon said, ”I will send Drunken Spear to lead our four thousand cavalry to attack.”
Fang Ge Que summarized everything and nodded his head, ”So altogether we have around fifty thousand elite cavalry, enough to launch an attack. However, all guild leaders must remain to defend. Once you all die, the morale will be badly affected. That said, the one we’re sending out must also have a leader, so who wants to volunteer?”
I took in a deep breath, holding onto my Dragon Reservoir Sword tightly, ”I will go!”
Q-Sword looked towards me, ”Xiao Yao, are you sure that’s okay?”
I smiled and nodded, ”How is it not okay? Fan Shu City have been wiped out. Are we going to look on and watch Tian Ling City get wiped out too?”
Fang Ge Que said, ”Okay, all the cavalry going out will listen to Xiao Yao Zi Zai. You will initiate this fight. Apart from that, Ye Lai, Q-Sword, and I will bring people to fight along with you to open the path for the fifty thousand cavalry.”
”Okay, when will we set out?”
”In half an hour. Get ready, and everyone will gather on the north city gate square.”
”Yes, sir!”
……
This was the first joint guild operation, so it was really meaningful. If we succeeded and Owen returned to the city, Tian Ling City still had some hope. Otherwise, we might not be able to last the final thirty hours.
Returning to the [Zhan Long] base, I described the plan. Li Mu, Wang Jian, and the others went to select members. Not long later, 3,100 [Zhan Long] cavalry players gathered within the city. I didn't choose the Royal Army since I was afraid they would die. Thus, it was safer to leave them here. The warhorses neighed together and the north square was a huge mess.
Fang Ge Que held his staff and hollered, ”Open the city gates!”
”Kacha...”
The spinning sounds of the chains was really unbearable. The city gates slowly opened up. Fang Ge Que led a bunch of [Hero’s Mound] and [Legend] players to charge out. Archers, mages, and musketeers all fired to open the path. When the breach was opened, I hollered. Enchanted Painting, Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Drunken Spear all led their forces to charge out together with me!
”Hua!”
The Dragon Reservoir Sword slashed across a group of people. I didn't use [Icy Wings], I just rode on the God Dragon Horse to bring them forward. The China Region players were all pumped up and the enemy couldn't block us. We were all exhausted, and the Moon City players who rushed to and fro were the same. Under the attacks of the elite Tian Ling City cavalry, a crack ripped through the encirclement. I also received a message from Lin Wan Er, ”Qing Qian and I are lying in ambush near Deer Lake. Just head over to our coordinates!”
”Okay!”
I replied with a simple word and continued to slash out, bringing the players to charge forward. The Moon City NPCs and players weren't fools. They turned their cannons and in the next moment, Dragon Crystal Cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons started to explode in the cavalry army behind me. People cried out. Losses were unavoidable but what mattered the most was how many people could charge out.
Close to half an hour of intense fighting and I was the first to break out. Enchanted Painting and the others were all drenched in blood as they also made it out. The thundering horse hoof sounds shook the Fierce Wind Forest land. Looking at the map, we had lost around thirty percent of the fifty thousand people. This price we had to pay was too huge!
Pointing towards the Deer Lake, I galloped crazily, ”Increase your speed, they might shift Owen's position soon!”
Li Mu raised his head and looked at the sky, ”Be careful of Lanais!”
”Shua!”
A sharp arrow flashed across and Bai Qi cried out instantly as seventy thousand health disappeared from his health bar. He was instantly killed — how terrifying!
Lanais didn't get close to us, she just shot arrow after arrow down from the sky. However, since we have so many people, she could just go ahead and knock herself out!
……
Ten minutes later, we arrived at Deer Lake. Lin Wan Er and Yue Qing Qian walked out, ”The gold warship is where Owen is being kept.”
I nodded and rushed my horse forward to continue. At the same time, I said, ”Wrap the shore from both sides and be careful of the Sword Spirit Cavalry in the skies. Board together!”
There was a total of seven ships — six black ships surrounded the gold one in the middle. No wonder we weren't able to determine Owen’s location.
Everyone headed into the water, and the horse hooves smacked the lake water. I activated [Icy Wings] and stepped on the surface, keeping in line with the others. The numerous NPC archers started shooting. On the shore, many Moon City players appeared. Among them was a Group Leader player who shouted, 'The Chinese have located Owen's position. Tell the Guild Leader to bring the main force over!”
……
”Shua!”
I stepped on the water and shot forward like an arrow. Numerous arrows fell into the water behind me. I held both blade and sword, and with a 'peng' ,I pierced the deck of the golden ship. A bunch of NPC soldiers charged out and Enchanted Painting and Li Xiao Yao blocked them. When I rushed in, I saw Owen bounded there, his face ashen white as he looked at me. He looked like a frightened white rat, ”Li... General Li Xiao Yao, save me!”
