”Hall of Immortality is coming at us full force!”
Li Chengfeng stabbed his long sword into the ground as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed. ”It seems like we won't be able to hold off this wave. The main and subguilds of Hall of Immortality have joined forces and are about a hundred thousand men strong. They have 25 times more people than us, which also means that each and every one of us will have to kill 25 enemies to emerge victorious.”
Xu Yang chuckled. ”A few of us may be able to pull that feat off, but that's gonna be a tall order for most of our players. Besides, Hall of Immortality also has an expert who can take on 25 players at one go. I've heard that the Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch is an extremely powerful fighter whose mechanical control and equipment are top-notch. Furthermore, Hall of Immortality has always been able to go head to head with Stranger of Three Lifetimes' guild, Blazing Hot Lips.”
I lowered my Cyan Netherworld Sword and laughed. ”Who cares? As you can see, we have successfully stopped the several hundred thousand players which make up the forces of Hall of Immortality, Throne Seeker, and Rose of the Holy Domain, from entering our territory. We absolutely can't afford to retreat before Gui Guzi and his riders return to Dark Moon City. The moment they enter the valley, they will have a clear path of Dark Moon City, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to hold them off if that happens.”
Chaos Moon gave a heavy nod of her head. ”Yeah, Lu Chen is right! If we can stall them for two to four hours by sacrificing the 7000 players here, it will be a huge win for us. We definitely can't lose Dark Moon City, no matter what! Otherwise, we will lose our dominant position in Sky City and even idiotic guilds like Warsky Alliance, G.o.ds of Destruction, and Hegemon Palace will be able to laugh at us!”
”Get ready! Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch is charging toward us! We're about to clash against the main force of Hall of Immortality!”
……
Battle cries rang in the air as the players of Hall of Immortality started to surge toward us like a swarm of locusts. The entrance to the valley could normally only hold a few hundred players, but now, nearly ten thousand players had squeezed themselves into this tight s.p.a.ce. The enemy vanguard brandished their weapons as they charged toward us in heated excitement. They yelled, ”Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has looked down on Hall of Immortality and Vanished G.o.d City time and time again! Let's give them a taste of Vanished G.o.d City's strongest guild today!”
”Rubbis.h.!.+”
Li Chengfeng spat on the ground in disgust as he pulled his Tempest Sword out from the ground. He laughed heartily and shouted, ”Brothers and sisters, prepare for battle! Let's show this bunch of idiots who the real kings of the battlefield are!”
”Attack!”
Everyone pulled out their weapons, their blades glittering in the sunlight and their capes fluttering in the wind. Our elite fighters stood at the very front of our formation with grim looks on their faces. We were going to make our last stand here, and the only thing we could do was to sell our lives as dearly as possible! Killing one enemy was breaking even, killing two was doubling your money, and the more we killed the better!
”Far Shot!”
Since we had the geographical advantage, Beiming Xue and her archers could draw first blood. As they sent a storm of arrows raining down on Hall of Immortality, the fighters at the front of their formation tumbled to the ground as if they had been pierced by venomous spikes. After that, they were mercilessly trampled on by their comrades behind them.
Moonlight Stone and her mages waved their staves in the air as they started casting their huge AoE spells. Galaxy Storms soon exploded inside the enemy formation, tearing armor and flesh alike into shreds. The enemy hadn't drawn close enough for us melee combatants to engage them, but our long-range players had already struck them a terrible blow.
”Charge!”
A Level 136 warrior dressed in golden battle armor charged in like a raging gale. A Spirit Monkey pet ran in behind him as he darted forward and sent a slash toward Li Chengfeng's left shoulder.
Clang!
7893!
Li Chengfeng had been battling against another magic knight so he was caught off-guard by this attack. The slash took a chunk out of his HP, causing him to growl in anger. He quickly s.h.i.+fted to the side and swung his sword toward the brazen warrior. He activated Barrier Break mid-swing and sent the swirling energy cras.h.i.+ng into the warrior's chest.
14909!
That warrior was actually a guild leader of a subguild. He grinned evilly before he laughed out loud. ”Heh, that's all there is to the Legendary Brave?! Brothers, get rid of him!”
However, he was already swiftly retreating even as he yelled those impudent words out. It was clear that he knew that he wasn't Li Chengfeng's match and his attack had been a mere show of bravado to encourage his players.
Li Chengfeng clenched his teeth furiously and growled, ”You actually think you can escape?”
The dragon warrior's calves bulged before he exploded forward like a bolt of furious lightning. His superior speed allowed him to instantly catch up to that guild leader. As he appeared in front of the hapless warrior, he drove a heavy uppercut into his opponent's jaw. After that, he instantly crouched down into a cla.s.sic Battōdō stance and performed a quick-draw strike, hitting the poor warrior with a Dragonbone Flurry + Cyan Dragon Horn right in the chest.
A string of damage numbers popped up above the warrior's head as he fell to the ground with a dull cry. He probably hadn't expected the dragon warrior to be this powerful. Coming here may have been easy, but returning home wouldn't be!
At this exact moment, Li Chengfeng's body suddenly shook violently. He had been stunned by a Level 134 archer! Even though it only lasted for a short two seconds, even that amount of time was fatal on the battlefield!
”Focus your attacks on the dragon warrior!”
No one saw who shouted that command, but it instantly caused a group of mages and archers to press forward and launch their attacks at him. Arrows and spells fell down toward Li Chengfeng like rain!
I immediately exclaimed in great shock, ”Priests, heal Li Chengfeng! Chaos Moon, come with me! We're gonna go rescue him!”
Li Chengfeng's HP rapidly dropped below 20% right before our eyes. Luckily, Moon Dew's instant healing spells managed to keep him on his feet. Otherwise, he might have already been killed a few times.
Boom!
Chaos Moon's Rock Crush exploded inside the crowd of people! Her Bone Scythe set was extremely powerful, so a single attack from her was enough to send shudders down most people's spines. This was especially true, however, for archers and mages. Her Rock Crush ignored defensive skills, and Magic s.h.i.+eld of mages was no exception!
However, Chaos Moon wouldn't be enough to save Li Chengfeng, who had gotten himself into a real pickle this time.
Wooos.h.!.+
