Chapter 315: Xue Lu (1/2)
Nameless fury scorched my head in an instant. I immediately locked onto Life of Luxury and activated Charge!
Whoosh!
The mage was caught completely off-guard, but he wasn’t stunned because he had his Magic Shield up. It didn’t matter though. One lightning-fast basic attack was all it took to shred it into pieces as Life of Luxury stared at me in shock.
“Die!”
I raised the Purgatory Sword and engulfed Life of Luxury and all the Flower Room players behind him in Thousand Mirage Slash. Screams appeared from all around me, and Life of Luxury was of course no exception. Only one magic knight had survived the skill with a sliver of health, and was retreating at top speed.
Luckily for me, Life of Luxury dropped Du Thirteen’s armor after he died, so I picked it up and sent a message: “Don’t worry, Thirteen! I just got your armor back from Life of Luxury!”
“That’s my brother! I’m coming back right now!” Du Thirteen replied quickly.
……
On the other side, Beiming Xue, He Yi and Murong Mingyue had joined up with Gui Guzi. Beiming Xue kicked off her assault with a powerful Evil Spirit Volley that had Spring Mud, Moon Shadow and Night Sorrow reeling in pain. Her level was way higher than theirs’, and her Milky Way Bow was so powerful that not even a warrior like Spring Mud could withstand her damage output.
He Yi’s pet also came out to play. The Firelight Mouse was pretty high-level now, and its powerful fire spells made life hell for the Flower Room players caught in them.
Murong Mingyue chose to join in on the offensive instead of healing Gui Guzi, firing Hellish Rockfalls straight into the enemy’s backline. A ton of archers and unshielded mages were one-shot as a result. How embarrassing for them to be one-shot by a priest, even if said priest was Murong Mingyue with the Prayer Scepter!
That being said, He Yi was right when she said that Flower Room had come out in full force. A small half of the entire Blackwater Bog map was littered with Flower Room players, and I counted at least 2000 of them!
At the backline, Li Le raised his sword and shouted, “Charge! There are only a few hundred of them! We aren’t so weak that we can’t even eliminate a party that small!”
He also added, “Listen up, people! I’ll reward anyone who kills Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand 100k gold. Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue, From Water and Murong Mingyue are worth 50k, and Chaos Moon, Hot Sun, Moonlight Stone, Moon Dew, Du Thirteen, Yamete and Alexander are 5k per kill! I will give you the reward immediately and promise to not go back on my word!”
“Fuck…” I let out an involuntary chuckle before commenting, “Here comes Li Le’s bounty tactic. I didn’t know I was worth 100k gold until now. He really is rich, isn’t he?”
He Yi burst into a giggle. “Alright, enough. Kill the enemies and plug the hole in our formation already!”
Xu Yang swore angrily the moment he came back to life. “Motherfucker! Why am I worth only 5000 gold? That bastard looks down on me…”
Murong Mingyue teased him. “Is he wrong though? If he offered to pay 50k gold for every kill on you, I bet he’d go bankrupt before the afternoon is over…”
Xu Yang immediately slumped. “Murong, would it kill you to give me some face?”
Chaos Moon immediately returned to the frontline after she revived. “Beauty Pure Love, gimme Death Match and Divine Valor as soon as possible!”
But Pure Love said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, but I’ve given all my buffs to Vice Leader Broken Halberd. Go find some other bards to help you…”
“OMG…”
Chaos Moon looked unhappy. The amount of stats a bard could apply was determined by level and Magic Attack just like Tactics. Since Pure Moon had a high level, powerful spells and good equipment, her buffs were at least 50% more effective than buffs of a normal bard, even if it wasn’t explicitly stated on the screen. No wonder Chaos Moon was unwilling to seek out another bard.
Xu Yang raised his sword and shouted, “Kill them all, brothers!”
He Yi shot me a glance and said, “How do you think we should turn the situation around?”
I replied, “We gather all our men and annihilate Flower Room here at Blackwater Bog. Then, we camp their bodies for 24 hours straight. We’ll show the world what the price of provoking Ancient Sword is!”
“Got it!”
He Yi nodded with a smile before facing Xu Yang. “Xu Yang, tell everyone who’s online in the guild to come over. If anyone rejects your summon, just kick them out of the guild. I want them to form 100-man parties and gather five hundred meters to the east of Blackwater Bog! You too, Du Thirteen! Tell everyone in Bloody Mercenaries to form 100-man parties and gather to the west of Blackwater Bog! Once you’re both ready, I want you to surround the map from these two directions! And don’t forget to watch the graveyards!”
“Got it!”
Du Thirteen was just reviving and accepting his armor from me. He said, “I’ve already summoned all 1874 of our players who are online. They’ll be ready and in position in ten minutes tops!”
Xu Yang also said, “Mn, all 1901 of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players who are online are coming as well. No one is absent!”
