Chapter 480 (2/2)
……
Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon and the rest of us frontliners could only watch on helplessly as the harpies flew right over our heads. They were only 20 yards above the ground, but that was enough distance that we couldn't hit them. So annoying!
”Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and a.s.sumed a stance. His sword suddenly burst into light as he shouted, “Get over here!”
Boom!
He fired a Reverse Scale Slash into the sky and hit a group of Resentful Harpies. They immediately flew down to meet him, but stopped just 10 yards above the ground. Then, they started firing red, poisonous feathers at his chest armor.
“Motherf.u.c.king sonuvab.i.t.c.h! I still can't reach them…” Li Chengfeng's eyes widened in disbelief.
However, He Yi and Gui Guzi were able to fire multiple sword auras into the mobs and hit them. All riders had extra attack range, so they had the absolute advantage in this battle. Gui Guzi even led the Fireblade Cavalry into a mounted charge as they fired sword auras again and again into the mobs.
The battle at the backline was even fiercer. The archers and mages traded fierce attacks with the harpies, but the frontliners could barely do anything to help them. In fact, most of the priests had to abandon their a.s.signed fighters and focus on healing the mages and archers with everything they got. Speaking of which, Beiming Xue was the s.h.i.+niest star of this fight because she had powerful AoE skills such as Evil Spirit Volley and Multi Arrow. She was murdering the harpies in droves.
However, we were still suffering ma.s.sive amounts of damage. The harpies had almost 2000 Attack, a level of attack no mage or archer were truly equipped to deal with. This was especially true for our archers because they didn't have a Magic s.h.i.+eld to block damage. Our priests had to focus all their healing on them because they could die at any moment.
Beiming Xue was fine because her equipment was ridiculously powerful. With over 10k HP and two super priests, Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew, healing her, she was in no danger of dying. The same couldn't be said for the rest of our archers, however. They kept being killed in droves by the harpies' Poisonous Feather skill...
Our frontliners were really starting to panic. Chaos Moon gripped her sword tightly as she swore, “f.u.c.k! Can't we do anything at all?”
I gritted my teeth and tossed the Heaven-stealing Sword into the air!
Puchi!
The Sword Boomerang hit at least 20 Resentful Harpies in a row and caused them to chase me. After raising my arm to block the first round of counterattack, I hastily ran to the back to buy myself some time. While I was running away, I suddenly realized that the harpies were flying lower and lower the longer they chased me. Very soon, they were flying only 3 yards above the ground. Only a dwarf wouldn't be able to hit the harpies at this height...
Swhoos.h.!.+
Chaos Moon charged a harpy that was chasing me and laughed. “Wow! You're a G.o.dd.a.m.n genius, Lu Chen! I can't believe you actually found its weakness…”
Gui Guzi and the others immediately spread the word, “Run if you're attacked by the harpy! The longer they chase you, the lower they'll get to the ground! They have high Attack, but their Defense and HP are pathetic, so it won't take much to kill them!”
This meant that the Fireblade Cavalry's role had changed from dealing damage to baiting the Resentful Harpies to the ground. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' greatest strength was without a doubt its melee frontline, and this was something even powerful guilds like Snowy Cathaya, Warsky Alliance, and Candle Dragon had to admit. Therefore, we should let our fighters be the damage dealer in this case!
……
After informing Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends about this method, our two allies also found their footing eventually. There was a problem, however. The Resentful Harpies' numbers were way too great, and at this rate we would be annihilated in two hours at most!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
Seven or eight of our Archers collapsed to the ground at the same time when a flurry of Poisonous Feathers fell from the sky. The mob's DPS was so high that it became a race to see who could kill the other party faster!
Not far away, a couple of middle-rank guilds were still fighting for their lives, but the battle was a one-sided slaughter. The harpies circled the sky and hunted down the melee fighters who didn't have any way to fight against them one by one, their blood creating rivers flowing across the battlefield. However, no one withdrew despite fighting a hopeless battle. They would rather die than abandon their main city.
Bang bang bang…
Three fiery sword auras erupted between a dozen or so harpies and dealt an extraordinary amount of damage. The harpies were flying creatures with ridiculous Attack, but the trade off was that their Defense and HP was, as Chaos Moon put it, “pathetically weak”. That was why I felt like a boss as I murdered them in droves. One Burning Blade Slash dealt almost 40k damage to the harpies, and with splash damage it was almost a one-shot. That being said, the harpies' Attack was absolutely torturous to endure!
Poisonous Feathers rained from the sky and impaled themselves onto my Obsidian Dragonscale Armor. My Ghost Deity Armor kept shaking because the attacks wouldn't stop. If it wasn't for this skill, I might've been one-shot already.
Swhoos.h.!.+
After healing myself for almost 4000 HP using Tenacity of the Dead, I hurriedly turned to the back and cried, “Can anyone feed me please? Ahhh, I'm dying…”
A couple of beautiful priests giggled and threw a couple of instaheals on me. One of them stayed behind to heal me and me only because I was one of the greatest damage dealers of this battle. Well, I definitely needed the dedicated healing because the a.s.sault was so fierce that one misstep basically meant death.
Suddenly, I heard a terrible wail. I soon learned it was because the players guarding the south side of Sky City including G.o.ds of Destruction and Soul Battle Robes had been routed completely. From what I heard, Dominating Heaven Blade, Dominating Knight G.o.d, Dominating Warrior G.o.d and the rest of his generals had all fought to their last breath on that barren land. This meant that the south side of Sky City was officially occupied by the Resentful Harpies.
……
It was at this moment a loud battle cry cut through the air. Finally, Commander Jacelyn and his Mad Lion Legion had entered the south side of Sky City and attacked the harpies. At the same time, countless human soldiers also emerged from the edges of the eastern forest. Beneath a sumptuous war banner, a beautiful female warrior on a warhorse gazed toward the distance and ordered, “Stark, tell the Black Cavalry to prepare for a charge!”
