”Charge! Attack!”
At the south side of City of Death, thousands of archers and mages moved to the frontline as a Level 108 warrior with a blade shouted, ”Heavenly Plan Palace may not be able to claim the first territory, but we will stop Warsky Alliance from getting it no matter what! Sc.u.m like them don't deserve the right!”
There was obviously some enmity between Heavenly Plan Palace and Warsky Alliance. In fact, Warsky Alliance must've offended a lot of guilds to make it to the top of the Guild Ranking of China. One simply couldn't avoid making enemies in the game for supremacy.
……
Swhoosh swhoosh swhooosh…
Arrows swarmed the sky like locusts, and ice magic was all over the place. The fence was only two meters tall, and it wasn't nearly tall enough to stop most of the attacks. The battle between the players of Warsky Alliance and Heavenly Plan Palace was so fierce that someone was dying almost every second and dropping equipment, Magic Consumables, and Health Potions all over the place. Some players were calm enough to pick up the equipment, but most completely lost themselves in the bloodl.u.s.t and attacked until they died.
Inside the territory, October Rain whispered something into Warsky's ears and got a nod in response. The guild leader raised his blade and shouted, ”Column 1, follow me! The time to attack is now!”
A group of elite fourth-promotion players immediately joined Warsky. After Warsky ordered the NPC guards to open the gate, he charged into the open and fired a horizontal slash at a couple of enemies some distance away from him. Three Heavenly Plan Palace fighters immediately suffered a fatal amount of damage—
10984!
9982!
11248!
……
They were all critical hits. Critical damage was twice the amount of normal damage, so the three fighters were one-shot instantly. Warsky had dealt ma.s.sive damage to Heavenly Plan Palace's frontliners the moment he showed up!
The Level 108 warrior and guild leader of Heavenly Plan Palace, ”King of Qin” was enraged when he saw this. He swung his halberd and shouted, ”Follow me to kill Warsky! Knights at the front, tighten your defense so that their warriors can't penetrate our battle line!”
A bunch of warriors answered his call and locked onto Warsky. The second they got into range, they immediately activated Charge!
Warsky smiled and zigzagged repeatedly across the ground, shaking off the target locks on him and dodging all the incoming Charges. I had to admit that Warsky was an exceptionally good player for a guild leader. Although he wasn't as good as Farewell Song, he was no weaker than a CGL Hall of Famer like Laughing At The Heavens.
King of Qin clenched his teeth and blocked in front of Warsky. Without bothering to say anything, he thrust his halberd straight toward Warsky's chest.
2783!
Warsky's Defense was pretty good, so King of Qin completely failed to pierce it. Warsky retaliated by grabbing the handle of the halberd and spinning into a multi-slash, hitting King of Qin's shoulder!
3902!
6204!
That one crit scared King of Qin so much that all the blood on his face drained away. He pulled back after realizing that he was no match for Warsky one-on-one, but Wasky smiled all of a sudden and declared, ”You're dead, King of Qin.”
”What?”
King of Qin exclaimed in confusion before looking behind him. His people were being attacked by a sea of players with blood-red IDs! More accurately, three guilds had allied with Warsky without warning and ambushed Heavenly Plan Palace from behind!
It was a landslide victory for Warsky Alliance. Heavenly Plan Palace had shown up with nearly 5000 players, but they were routed in less than half an hour due to the brilliant strategy concocted by none other than October Rain. Blood and strategy; this was how war spun its gears.
……
Meanwhile, I received a battle report from the western gate. Snowy Cathaya had launched a second a.s.sault and dealt heavy damage to Warsky Alliance, but they hadn't invaded the territory because it wasn't time yet.
I glanced at the NPC archers on the watchtowers. They had to be dealt with before we could invade the territory safely, so I decided that we might as well take action sooner than later!
Clang!
I pulled out the Heaven-stealing Sword and smiled at the elites behind me. ”It's time to head out again, everyone. Frontliners, make sure to protect yourselves and make as much dust as possible while you're marching. Beiming Xue, you and your archer squad will follow behind us and conceal yourselves as much as you can. Once we've reached the edge of the territory, I want you to snipe all the NPC archers on the arrow towers. Does everyone understand what I'm saying?”
”Yessir!” Morale was high, and everyone was eager to get started.
Not wanting to waste such good morale on dilly-dallying, the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf and I led the way after everyone was done buffing themselves with Encourage and so on. He Yi and Gui Guzi actually reached the edge of the territory before me and ravaged the enemies with their Green Wave Slash and Aurora Thrust. He Yi's Firelight Mouse even cast Sea of Flames three times in a row and created quite a gaping hole in the defending forces inside the fort for a time.
Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, and Du Thirteen approached the edge of the guild territory at the same time. Everyone here was a famous player in Sky City, and today, they were all gathered in one place. It didn't take much imagination to wonder how much havoc they could wreak. The enemy mages and archers were so scared that they stayed far, far away from the walls because they knew that getting close was like asking to be one-shot!
This was our chance, however!
Beiming Xue dashed toward the front and drew her Milky Way Bow. Bow G.o.d activated, she cried, ”Everyone, loose at the shadow-rank archers in accordance to your group!”
The NPC archers were shooting at us from the watchtowers, but they were all caught or knocked away by the magic knights' s.h.i.+elds. They might be Level 125 shadow-rank mobs, but He Yi and Gui Guzi were so tanky that their attacks might as well be nothing!
