Chapter 744: Mystic Alliance (1/2)
The Phantom Wolf let out a loud howl before turning invisible and stealthily entering the heart of these camps. Taking control of the wolf, I quickly attacked three mages with a swipe of its claws. They cried out pitifully and collapsed as the sharp claws tore through their armor. Giving out another howl, the Phantom Wolf King activated Purgatory Storm. A tornado wrapped itself around the wolf before ripping its way through a bunch of players who were busy barbecuing!
”Attack!”
Xu Yang pulled his sword out of its sheath and laughed loudly, ”Don’t allow them a chance to recover!”
Everyone swept across the ground at lighting speed and killed every single player who was resupplying. The ground was littered with bodies in the blink of an eye and we started to search their drops carefully. However, it seemed as if these people had been squeezed dry and none of them dropped a single piece of bread. Almost every Korean player had a crimson corn symbol over their heads. Just like us, they were starving.
……
I swiftly changed directions and led a large group toward the rear of the enemies. I continued to destroy scores of replenishment camps and completely severed the Northern Alliance’s supply line.
”Kill those riders! Quickly! Protect our supply line!” a magic knight shouted as he brandished his sword and led a few hundred players toward us. It seemed as if he was a guild leader of a small guild from the Northern Alliance.
Dragonlight Cavalry turned back sharply and charged toward the few hundred men. In just three minutes, the entire squadron of enemies had been killed. The buffs from Knight God, Knight General and Martial God made the Dragonlight Cavalry too OP. Normal riders and melee fighters were simply too weak to withstand our attacks. Moreover, our Dragonlight Horses had Hoof Trample, a skill that could stun our enemies. They did not even get a chance to try and escape.
Due to the great agility of the Dragonlight Armored Horses, I commanded them to charge back and forth. Sweeping through the entire north east map of the Dawn Valley, we successfully blocked the Northern Alliance’s supply line. The sight of our Dragonlight Cavalry was enough to strike terror into the hearts of many, putting a great amount of pressure on our enemies.
The ground started to rumble as a great wave of over ten thousand players started to charge in our direction. Their leader was a Level 156 magic knight wielding a battle axe. He was charging at us on an impressive looking flaming red horse with a crimson flag on his back. Clearly, this man was a Heroic Bannerman.
”Here they come!”
Chaos Moon frowned and said, ”13000 riders… This must be the elite cavalry of the Northern Alliance.”
Xu Yang turned to look at me and asked, ”Lu Chen, what are we gonna do? Dragonlight Cavalry moves quickly. If we act now, we can still escape!”
I shook my head and replied in a low voice, ”Millions of Northern Alliance players are attacking Dawn City right now. Since we’ve charged our way out of the city, we should help reduce the pressure on Snowy Cathaya, The Monarch Descends and Warsky Alliance. Goddammit! Since this guild’s 13000-strong cavalry dares to challenge us, we’ll swallow them whole! However, we may have to pay a price for that.”
High Fighting Spirits raised his warhammer and shouted, ”Since we have decided to do battle, we are willing to make sacrifices! We’re not afraid of death!”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun grabbed his sword and nodded his head. ”Yeah! If we die, we’ll drag them down with us!”
Gui Guzi looked at me and asked, ”Boss Broken Halberd, do you have any plans up your sleeves?”
I chuckled and said, ”I do have a plan. But I’m not sure if it will work.”
Chaos Moon laughed and said, ”Then let’s go! We believe in you!”
”Mn!”
Gesturing with my hands, I started to explain the plan. ”Gui Guzi will lead four hundred riders buffed with Knight God and go head to head with our enemies. Engage in battle for a short while and retreat swiftly. Don’t prolong the fight! You need to retreat quickly and be careful to not get stunned by their Charge. Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust will lead 400 Dragonlight Cavalrymen each and buff them with Knight General. After that, enter into the forest and hide there. As for me, I will lead 240 men to the enemy’s rear. When their riders enter the forest, Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust will ambush them from both sides. I will block off their retreat route and Gui Guzi will turn back and slaughter them. We will trap them and attack from all sides! Once they start to panic, it will be easy to finish them off!”
”Alright!” Gui Guzi nodded his head in approval.
I raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword and pointed it forward with a laugh. ”Comrades! Some of you may die in this battle! But there is value and meaning to death! For our server! For our guild! We will give our lives! Move out!”
We parted ways and the two Knight Generals made their way to the dense forest. I led 240 men into a narrow valley and charged toward the rear of the enemy’s battle formation. Gui Guzi flipped himself on his mount as he and his four hundred men charged forward fearlessly with a loud battle cry.
Clang!
Seven Star City riders pulled their swords out of their sheaths one by one. ”Attack! Eliminate Dragonlight Cavalry! We will prove that we are the world's top cavalry!”
……
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
The two cavalries charged at each other head-on as Gui Guzi brandished his spear and stabbed the opponent rider. A battle between two cavalries was a long and tiring one because all riders had high HP. You could only kill your opponent by continuously charging him and chipping his HP. Making use of this, Gui Guzi continued to weave in and out of the crowd. Although he was getting hit continuously, his Undying Shield reduced the enemies' damage and drinking Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potions helped him recover much of his HP. He was definitely not going to die during these short engagements.
After clashing head-on with the enemy for three minutes, Gui Guzi shouted, ”Retreat! We can’t beat them!”
The Dragonlight Cavalry retreated like the wind and the Seven Star City’s cavalry gave chase. They were red with fury at the fact that ten thousand of them could not eliminate 400 Dragonlight Cavalrymen. To add salt to their wound, we even managed to kill a dozen enemies before retreating unscathed!
The ground shook under the stampede of horse hooves as 10000 Seven Star City’s cavalrymen entered into our trap in the blink of an eye. Opening the guild chat, I shouted, ”Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust, begin!”
Instantly, rumbling of horse hooves rang out from both sides of the forest. Eight hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen rushed out of their hiding place and started to kill their enemies. The Seven Star City’s cavalry was taken aback by the sudden ambush and their battle formation descended into chaos.
