Chapter 747: Shadow War (1/2)
A player holding a broad blade in his hand slowly looked up as his mount paced about in the middle of the Northern Alliance formation. A blood-red flag fluttered above his head and his figure was imposing even amid the sea of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen surrounding him. As he looked at the mountain range above him, his eyes were filled with shock and fear as he shouted, ”Can anyone fucking tell me what just happened? Why did the entire mountain range shake? Why did I suddenly enter combat mode?”
The Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen around him shook their heads in confusion as they replied, ”We have no idea…”
”Go ask those Frenchmen. Maybe they know what is happening?”
”I just contacted them. They don’t have a clue either…”
……
As the rumbling sound swiftly grew nearer and nearer, the eyes of one of the mages suddenly widened in shock as he yelled, ”Shit! We’ve been had! That is… That is an avalanche! Fucking hell, they deliberarely lured us to this place so that we would be caught by this avalanche! Damn it, what should we do now?”
The mages exchanged bewildered glances before someone yelled, ”We can’t return to the city when we’re in combat mode! Everybody, run!”
Unfortunately for them, it was too late!
Boom!
That enormous boulder had now transformed into a snowball that was several times its size as it crashed into the enemy below!
”Shield formation, defend!” A bunch of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry riders formed up in an incredibly calm and collected manner as they raised their shields to defend themselves.
Pchhht!
Large shards of ice were also mixed in with the snow that rushed toward them. These shards of ice stabbed into the armor of these warriors before the snow simply swallowed them up. They were finally struck by another huge snowball, and their formation completely collapsed. The whole place had turned into a disaster zone, and most of the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen had been buried by the snow. Some parts of the snow had been dyed a deep red, and it was safe to say that none of these Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen had imagined that they would meet such an ending.
The avalanche swiftly thundered toward the Northern Alliance players and it seemed as if the ground itself was cracking apart as it poured downward. Countless mages tried to use Blink to escape, but their efforts were in vain. They still weren’t able to escape the gigantic avalanche and the rain of ice and stone soon buried most of them.
……
The entire avalanche continued for around twenty minutes. Most of the 80000 Mystic Alliance mages and the 50000 Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen had been buried at the foot of this snowy mountain. They no longer had a chance to step into Dawn City during this Nation War.
A report came in from Dawn City and Hot and Sour Noodles turned dizzy with delight. After that, he sent out a system announcement with a huge guffaw of laughter and he didn’t hold back on his praise. ”That was spectacular! To think that you managed to use an avalanche to bury 80000 mages of the Mystic Alliance and 50000 riders of the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry! Simply magnificent! No one can dim the glory that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has accrued during this Nation War. All of you are the pride of China!”
Warsky also sent me a message: ”Haha, that was spectacular indeed! Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has simply outdone themselves during this Nation War!”
Congratulations started to pour in.
……
He Yi and I exchanged looks which could be best described as bittersweet. We might have achieved a glorious result in batte, but we were literally hanging off the edge of a cliff right now!
”What should we do next?” I said as I looked at He Yi.
My beautiful guild leader simply laughed as she confidently unsheathed her sword and stabbed it into the rock wall above us. After that, she took out a Purple Gold–grade spear from her inventory and stabbed it into the wall as well. After that, she smiled at me as she stretched out a hand. ”Come on. Your big sister here will pull you up…”
The muscles on my face spasmed. ”Thank you, big sis…”
So, that was how the two of us helped each other scale up that cliff wall. The moment we planted our feet on solid ground, we exited combat mode. Okay, it’s time to return to the city!
Wooosh!
After we entered Sky City, we summoned our mounts and rushed to repair our equipment. After that, we went to Wind City and disembarked from there. We managed to find Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, and Xu Yang’s dots on the minimap, our swift mounts allowing us to close the distance as we galloped forward.
……
We managed to catch up with the remaining Dragonlight Cavalrymen half an hour later.
”Haha, boss and leader have arrived!” Gui Guzi said with a hearty laugh.
High Fighting Spirits grinned as he said, ”That was way too cool! You guys used an avalanche. You actually used an avalanche! Why can’t I think of such cool plans?”
Chaos Moon smiled sweetly. ”If you could come up with such plans, you wouldn’t be High Fighting Spirits anymore. In fact, you could be our guild leader instead, haha!”
Heaven’s Rain wheeled her mount toward me and laughed, ”Vice leader big bro! Did you really get rid of all 130000 of those darned Northern Alliance players?”
I nodded my head. ”Yeah, I got all of them, which also includes the five Heroic Bannermen who were leading them. Heh heh…”
Gui Guzi exclaimed in excitement, ”That’s great! The 50000-strong Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry, Vienna’s Sorrow’s biggest trump card! He must have thought that they would trample over all his enemies when he dispatched them, but he never imagined that Boss Broken Halberd and the guild leader would actually bury all of them at the foot of the Dragonbone Mountain Range. Vienna’s Sorrow must be so angry that he’s practically foaming at the mouth!”
I chuckled, ”Let’s keep up the good work. The Northern Alliance’s main force is still alive, so there’s still a long way for us to go! Oh, that’s right! How is Chengfeng’s battle going?”
