Chapter 1028: Bloody Battle Atop The Great Wall (1/2)

”F.u.c.k…”

Li Chengfeng s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath as he counted the enemy troops. ”I see at least 30k Wildfire Riders led by Red Maple, Cyan Frost and Purple Thunder themselves. Meanwhile, we only have 10k Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen. This is bad…”

Heaven’s Rain blinked once and asked me, ”Vice leader big bro, can’t we win against them?”

I nodded. ”No, the Cyan Tiger Cavalry is just too weak compared to their Wildfire Riders. We cannot avoid this fight, however. Whatever the outcome may be, we must fight this out until the end!”

I abruptly unsheathed the Purple Ying Sword and pointed at the enemy. I yelled, ”Brothers and sisters, we need to buy enough time for our allies’ siege parties to break through the Great Wall. We may die here today, but it is for a good cause, so don’t be ashamed of it! And above all else, we will have given it our all and left behind no regrets!”

Everyone unsheathed their weapons at the same time. Although the Cyan Tiger Cavalry was the second-rate cavalry of our guild, everyone here was an elite in their own right. Some of them were even better individually than some Dragonlight Cavalrymen, because they refused to fall behind and constantly honed themselves. And what better time than now was their time to prove their true worth?

I moved my POV a bit and noticed that at least ten battering rams were pounding away at the one and only gate of the Impassable Great Wall. Its durability was decreasing steadily despite its support players’ best efforts to repair it. If we could hold off God’s Domain long enough for them to break through, the gate would fall, and the battle would instantly turn in our favor.

”Kill!”

I shouted as I charged straight toward Red Maple. The heaven’s warrior also declared with murderous intent, ”Do not leave a single one of them alive!”

Both sides accelerated to full speed and slammed into one another, causing a series of crunching noises that was better left undescribed. While the mounts were knocking each other silly, their riders launched Barrier Breaks and their foes and tried their damnedest to kill the other party as quickly as possible. It wasn’t long before the battle line dissolved into chaos.

Boom boom boom!

I slayed the group of players in front of me with Burning Blade Slash before firing 7 Ancient Seals in a line to even the odds for my fellow Cyan Tiger Cavalry. They would need it because their Cyan Battle Tigers were way inferior to the Wildfire Horses, boss-tier mounts.

”Roar roar…”

A beastial roar erupted from one side of the battlefield as High Fighting Spirits swung his axe around and unleashed Xiezhi Howl. Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi were tearing through their foes as well. The good news for us was that our Famous Generals were superior to the enemy’s in both quantity and quality. The Divine Generals especially tore through the Wildfire Riders like nothing.

……

However, Red Maple also boasted an insanely high kill rate. After cutting down a dozen or so Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen in the blink of an eye, he unleashed 5 Maple Kills that killed almost a hundred at the same time!

Gui Guzi raged, ”Li, Boss Broken Halberd is too far away from Red Maple. I say you and I go kill him ourselves!”

”I’m with you!”

Li Chengfeng activated Battle Soul Possession and rode side by side with Gui Guzi toward Red Maple. Not only that, He Yi’s basic attack range thanks to Godslaying Blade caught Red Maple off-guard and cost him 52773 HP. That was something for Red Maple to consider as well.

Red Maple dared not face Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi and He Yi all by himself, so he backed a dozen or so steps away from the battle line and let his Wildfire Riders protect him. Meanwhile, he fired Thunder God Ball from range and one-shot almost every Cyan Tiger Cavalryman who had the misfortune of being targeted by him.

A cavalry battle was a battle of steel and blood. We had charged each other at least 3 times during the 20 minutes of bloodbath. Finally, the scales of battle tipped to one side completely.

”Hah! Hah!...”

I panted heavily as I clutched the reins of my Armored Ice Qilin Horse with my left hand and the Purple Ying Sword with my right. A shockingly thick glob of blood was sliding down the blade. I honestly couldn’t remember how many Wildfire Riders I had buried with this sword of mine, but I do know that our losses were probably just as severe.

I side-eyed High Fighting Spirits and noted that his right shoulder armor was almost completely wrecked. The wounds on his arms were the game’s way of telling us that they had suffered too much impact in a short amount of time. Li Chengfeng’s white cape was stained with so much blood that it was almost fully red, and the blade of his Dark Blade was chipped all over. Considering that he killed almost as many people as I did, his Dark Blade’s durability had to have fallen below 50%.
