Chapter 995: Pre-battle Meeting (1/2)
”What do we do now?” Gui Guzi asked.
I thought for a moment before replying, ”Let’s withdraw out of this forest first. We need a battlefield with a greater field of vision. The number of Purple Gr.a.p.e City players holed up at this place is at least ten times our numbers. If they surround us, we will be in trouble.”
”Mn!”
……
Gui Guzi had brought 4000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen and 1000 Dragonlight Archers with him. The major Famous Generals we had were Gui Guzi, Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust. I could party up to a max of 2000 players because I was a seventh-promotion player, a Famous General and a Divine General. A basic seventh-promotion player could have a maximum party of 500. A seventh-promotion player who was a Famous General and a Divine General could party up to 4 times that amount, that is 2000 players. Martial God wasn’t as good as Knight God, but in some scenarios, higher attack power was also a good option.
When we arrived at the edge of the forest, we encountered a thousand-man Purple Gr.a.p.e City party. They were chasing after a hundred-man Warsky Alliance party!
”Attack!”
I unsheathed my sword. It took us less than ten minutes to kill them all because the Dragonlight Cavalry was that powerful. In fact, not a single one of us were killed at the end of the battle!
More Chinese players arrived from the direction of Sky City. It wasn’t long before a large group made up of all kinds of guilds were gathered together.
I even saw Blazing Hot Lips’ army led by the vice leader herself, Eyes Like Water. She shot me a smile and said, ”Momo told me to send 30000 players over to fend off Purple Gr.a.p.e City. Our main force is still being tied up at Vanished God City by the Northern Alliance, but Sky City was just doing so poorly that…”
The vice leader of The Monarch Descends, Purple Wind Chime, walked up to me and said, ”We are almost 70000 strong, and we are all cavalry. Feel free to command us, Lu Chen. Xueshang told me before I came that you are one of the best strategists in the entire China. We all trust you.”
”Thank you.”
I smiled and looked in another direction. October Rain, the vice leader of Warsky Alliance, came over. ”How goes the battle, Lu Chen? Warsky Alliance is only 100000+ strong, but everyone’s an elite!”
”You are right on time!” I shot her a smile.
Another army appeared from Sky City, and they were Mad Dragon and Gods of Destruction. Even Roaming Dragon and Dominating Heaven Blade were present.
Hegemon Palace also appeared from another direction. I spotted Wang Dongliang and Little Piglet among them.
”Wonderful. Everyone’s here!” I was very glad to see them.
……
The moment Wang Dongliang arrived, he shot me a displeased look and said, ”What are you waiting for? Is Purple Gr.a.p.e City too strong, or are you too scared to enter the forest?”
Wang Dongliang replied with an ashen face, ”I’m beneath your provocations!”
Heaven’s Rain snorted. ”Hmph!”
I said placatingly, ”Can everyone please set down their differences for now? We are all here to retake Floating Ice City. Rather than pointlessly argue with each other, we should think up a plan to win this war.”
Dominating Heaven Blade asked, ”Purple Gr.a.p.e City has amassed millions and millions of troops after taking over Floating Ice City, so let’s skip the ‘pleasantries’ and get to the point already, shall we? We really don’t have much time to fool around here. Even now, our brethren are being slaughtered in Frost Forest.”
I nodded in agreement. ”I know.”
Dominating Warrior God interrupted rudely, ”If you know, then why the f.u.c.k are you still waiting here for? Go rescue our people with your precious Dragonlight Cavalry already!”
My eyes turned steely in an instant. ”Shut your mouth. You don’t get to order me!”
Dominating Warrior God had always disliked me because of his love for the Fruit Knife Goddess, and maybe it was because of the tension or something, but he almost lost his cool here. However, Dominating Heaven Blade surprised us by shooting him a glare and saying, ”Warrior God, seriously, shut your mouth for now, okay? Lu Chen is right. We need to stay united and come up with a proper strategy before tackling Purple Gr.a.p.e City. We may have quite the numbers ourselves, but all our main forces are elsewhere. It is entirely possible for Purple Gr.a.p.e City to gobble up our one-million-strong reinforcements like nothing.”
