Chapter 335 – Breaking into the City (2/2)

“We’re going in, everyone. Your task is to escort me into the City Lord Manor safely. After this is over, I’ll definitely thank you bountifully!” Bai Xiaosheng shouted as he rushed in.

Not all of the All-Knowing Sect were rogues as they also had a portion of other classes. While the rogues snuck in to attack the Demon soldiers and thwart the others, the other guild members formed a standard formation that protected Bai Xiaosheng so that he could quickly make his way through the city.

The Demon army was caught off guard but reacted very quickly. Soon, more Demon soldiers ran over from all directions.

“Go, go, go! Charge in at all costs!” Bai Xiaosheng madly screamed.

The rogues who first charged in were already engaged in combat with the Demon soldiers. Their goal was the Demon squad leaders, centurions, chiliarchies, or even generals. As long as they spotted a demon with a commanding aura, they’d fearlessly and bravely pounce. The scene around was a big mess as there were people dying every second.

The All-Knowing Sect sacrificed numerous lives but successfully prevented the demons from grouping up, which also bought time for their own rear players.

Along with the elite rogues who appeared at the beginning, there were around 8000 members of other classes escorting Bai Xiaosheng. The knights at the front opened the way, the mages and archers behind attacked nonstop, leaving countless Demon corpses in their wake.

Ever since the magic formation had taken down the gate with style, the All-Knowing Sect players had pushed frantically several kilometers into the city. As the City Lord Manor came into view, they were finally blocked by a team of heavily-armored cavalry armed with blades standing along the street.

“Not good, heavy cavalry.” Bai Xiaosheng’s expression abruptly changed. Those who had been at the Rainrevelers’ base defense battle would have a certain understanding of how strong heavy cavalry was. If this team of Demon heavy cavalry was to charge over, Bai Xiaosheng’s group of thousands would be slain to the very last one.

Boom, boom, boom! The heavy cavalry slowly marched forth. With each step they took, the land trembled. Their mounts were Armored Raging Bulls, known for extreme physical strength. All of a sudden, these bulls raced towards the players thunderously.

Whoosh whoosh… From the players, a wave of magic soared and rained down on the heavy cavalry, only to be blocked by a faint black light that enveloped the entire cavalry team.

“Damn it! Forbidden magic again. How the hell are they all capable of this?!” Bai Xiaosheng’s face was ashen.

The earth mages deployed magic on the ground to stop the cavalry from advancing, but the Demon mages interfered and ruined their effort. Without hinder, the heavy cavalry was faster and faster as they approached the players.

Riiip… Bai Xiaosheng suppressed the heartache and tore a scroll.

Ding.

System Notification: Player Bai Xiaosheng has used the Advanced Summon Scroll – Godly Puppet Guards.

A hundred Godly Guards over ten meters tall wielding golden long blades appeared around Bai Xiaosheng, nearly trampling the surrounding players under their feet.

“Go!” Bai Xiaosheng pointed his finger. The Godly Guards shouted a crazy roar and all charged over in that direction at once. In just a few steps, they were before the heavy cavalry and fiercely hacked down their blades.

Fwosh! The heavy cavalry couldn’t even utter a sound upon taking the attack. Like soft tofu, the golden blades sliced both their targets in half, along with their mounts.

From a distance, Fatty and the others watched as the sparkling Godly Puppet Guards steadily killed a heavy cavalry with every slash of their blades while tightly blocking the cavalry’s path, not letting any slip through.

“Uncle, this should be at least level 70?” Fatty gasped.

“Level 75, and immune to all attacks. My Advanced scroll, ahhhh, I spent a fortune on it! It was supposed to be used to defend the City Lord Manor!” Bai Xiaosheng’s face twitched painfully.

With a hundred level 75 puppets paving the way, the pressure on the players was greatly lessened as they only needed to defend the sides. As a result, their advance greatly increased.

The closer they approached the center of the city, the more Demon soldiers appeared on their way to the point that it was crowded. It was a pity that they couldn’t hurt the Godly Puppet Guards with numbers, so therefore had to resort to impeding the puppets' path by throwing themselves at their feet.

Ding! With a small clear sound, the rampaging puppets suddenly froze on the spot. Then, in a slight breeze, they turned into masses of golden powder that floated down onto the ground.

The duration of the Godly Puppet Guards was one hour. During this one hour, they killed the majority of Demon soldiers, including several units of heavy cavalry.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng’s group was less than a kilometer from the City Lord Manor.

“Defeat or victory all comes down in this last struggle. Brothers, charge and Hero City shall be ours!” Bai Xiaosheng pointed his dagger to the sky and roared maniacally.

“KILL!” The eyes of the All-Knowing Sect were bloodshot. They disregarded everything to pounce at the enemy.

“Inky,” Fatty called. Inky appeared and slowly floated forward. Just as the two sides were about to collide, the pet cast Chaotic Confinement.
