Chapter 293: Into the City (1/2)
As I vowed to guard the Pathfinder War Boots with my life, the last land dragons were being taken care of by the cavalry. However, the boss of this wave still hadn’t appeared.
The originally dignified Skull Castle was in tatters. The city walls were covered in scorch marks, and a large part of the walls had been turned to ruins by the spells of the undead magi. The two magi had to rest after casting their spells, their mana used up. No one knew how long it would take them to recover
Gazing at the disheveled city walls, He Yi laughed. ”Everyone, guess what will happen next?”
Lin Yixin was bewildered. ”What, the boss will appear?”
I shook my head. ”No, we will have to go into the city to find that Iron Skull General Wind Fury. He should be the top dog of Skull Castle, and will be very strong!”
”Yes, yes~~”
……
At this time, little princess Karinshan of Floating Ice City raised her sword in the distance. Facing the tattered walls, she shouted, ”Go, take down Skull Castle!”
Immediately, Sophia's expression turned cold under the Violet Empire banner, and said, ”Karinshan wants to steal the city?”
Shadow Dance Xue Wei said, ”What to do, Your Majesty?”
”Send the order to attack the city!”
Sophia's face was full of determination. ”Hmph, we cannot allow Skull Castle to fall into Karinshan's hands. Otherwise, we will lose our last land to establish ourselves!”
”Yes!”
Xue Wei sent the order and the Shadow Dance Elite Cavalry charged toward the falling Skull Castle. Finally, the battle between the Blood Dance Legion and the Floating Ice City army was about to start!
In Heavenblessed, the AI of the NPCs was very advanced. They were not like children. You give me candy? I give you candy. Good, we best friends forever now!
At this time, when interests of their respective races were concerned, Sophia and Karinshan would fight over the city!
……
Lin Yixin and He Yi looked at me and asked, ”What to do?”
Clang!
I drew the Purgatory Sword and said, ”Let's get onto the city walls before the NPCs and see if there is anything we can get to first. Also, it would be best if we get the first dibs on the boss. This way, we may get some drops. If the NPCs kill it, we get nothing!”
”Yes, let's go!”
Lin Yixin charged with her sword. Damn, the girl was too impulsive!
He Yi and I were not willing to fall behind and also charged toward the city walls.
A group of undead warriors had just built a wall-scaling ladder that was currently being used by some low-level NPC soldiers charging up the walls. Of course, archers of the Night Creatures wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity, so they rained arrows on the ascending warriors. Poked with many holes, the undead warriors fell down amid frantic screams.
I raised my arm to block the arrows for the two girls as I kept a potion in my mouth. ”WTF, why me first?”
”Just because.” He Yi's gaze was determined.
Lin Yixin glared at me and hesitated to speak.
In the next moment, I understood. Oh, female player robes always revealed the legs. If the girls went ahead, and I was climbing under them, wouldn’t the smallest gust of wind be enough for me to enjoy a beautiful scene?
I looked at He Yi and Lin Yixin, and the two beauties were looking at me. My thoughts moving, I muttered inwardly to myself: Hmph, hmph, so what if you don't let me see. I will see sooner or later, and in reality...
As I thought, I shot up the ladder.
A few steps later, thud thud thud!
I facetanked three arrows that dealt 700 damage. It wasn’t much, but the arrows’ momentum was strong enough to make me fall down!
Boom!
I lay in the mud, sprawled out. I looked up. The two girls looked at me, trying to suppress their laughter. They looked like they would get an internal injury from holding it in. I then climbed up the ladder again. After a few steps, I was once again a porcupine and fell back to the ground. Damn, such an embarrassment!
”Let's wait...”
I dusted off the mud and said, ”Let's wait for the NPCs to go up, and bear the brunt of the attack. It’s so hard to go up now...”
The two girls laughed. Lin Yixin smiled, and her chest trembled as well. She said to me, ”I really thought that you were so strong you couldn't be killed. And yet you were soundly defeated by some shitty Night Creature archers...”
