Chapter 371: Prepare For Battle! (1/2)
”Lu Chen is about to do something bad again…” Murong Mingyue declared with full certainty.
He Yi nodded. ”Mn, just the way I like it~”
Beiming Xue smiled. ”Warsky Alliance deserves it. They shouldn’t have been so arrogant as to think that they could claim an entire leveling zone to themselves, hmph hmph!”
……
I got close to seven Desert Giants and zigzagged right between them. It was no trouble at all since my Barbaric War Boots of Heaven gave me incredible movement speed. Once I had aggroed all the mobs, I took off toward Warsky Alliance’s hundred-man party!
There was a low rocky hill between me and the hundred-man party. Our paths would cross immediately after I circled around it. It was exactly what I was aiming to do.
Rumble rumble rumble...
Behind me, the seven Desert Giants continued to chase after me while growling and swinging their stony arms.
Swhoosh!
A corner later, I appeared at the field where Warsky Alliance’s hundred-man party was fighting. They were just 50 yards away from me. I ran toward them but slowed down a little so that I wouldn’t lose the mobs’ aggro.
The Warsky Alliance’s hundred-man party was completely caught off-guard by my sudden appearance. The Level 92 magic knight stared at me in shock. ”What’s going on? Is-isn’t that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? Why is he here…”
The assassin next to him asked, ”Squad leader, are we killing him or not? Didn’t the guild leader tell us to attack anyone from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls if we run into them outside the safe zones?”
The magic knight hesitated. ”But… it’s Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. Can we even fight him?”
He regretted his hesitation immediately after the Desert Giants appeared. After circling to the back of Warsky Alliance’s hundred-man party, I activated Earth Escape and sank into the rocky ground!
The Desert Giants lost track of me immediately, especially because my level was pretty high. Twenty yards were more than enough distance to shake them off. On the other hand, the Warsky Alliance hundred-man party was quaking in their boots. A couple of pale-faced archers screamed on top of their lungs, ”FUCK, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is trying to pull the Desert Giants to us!”
It was way too late. The seven Desert Giants couldn’t care less that the people in front of them weren’t the one who had angered them. Excluding the recently killed Desert Giant, the hundred-man party now had 11 Desert Giants to deal with. It absolutely wasn’t a fight these players with an average Level of 87 were prepared for.
”Roar roar!”
I checked the party channel and noted that it was Beiming Xue’s work as expected. With Martial God in effect, she could practically one-shot these low-level poorly-equipped excuses for archers.
An enemy mage growled, ”Shit, there’s an ambush behind us! Whoever the archer is, they’re incredibly powerful! We cannot retreat!”
Another archer shouted just as angrily, ”Fuck, our dead brothers just sent us a screenshot! It’s Beiming Xue! It’s Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!”
The Level 92 magic knight’s expression changed drastically. He uttered through gritted teeth, ”Hold the line! We don’t know how many enemies there are, so we should take down these rockheads first and deal with them later! Little Four, tell the guild leader that we’ve been ambushed and that we need reinforcements now!”
The assassin called Little Four nodded. ”Okay, I’ll send the message right away!”
The magic knight stared at his surroundings angrily. ”This is really bad. I can guarantee you that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is still watching us from nearby. Everyone, hold your formation no matter what you do! We’ll be safe once our guild leader arrives! Hmph, so what if Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? He’s just one CGL ranker! Warsky Alliance will be the kings of Sky City!”
Their spirits raised, the rest of the players raised their weapons and cried out, ”We are the kings of the Center!”
Their cry deeply amused me. Sky City was located right at the center of Heavenblessed Continent, with Wind City to the left and Vanished God City to the right. Moreover, China’s servers were surrounded by servers of many other countries. That was why Sky City was called the Center. Still, I didn’t think Warsky Alliance would be so arrogant as to call themselves the kings of the Center. Did they really think that they were worthy?
Even with three CGL pros, Farewell Song, Laughing at the Heavens, and October Rain, it was highly doubtful that Warsky Alliance could best Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Of course, that didn’t mean that they were a guild we could afford to underestimate. If we looked at reputation, unity, and pure combat strength alone, then Warsky Alliance was undoubtedly the number one guild of Sky City. They were definitely stronger than rivals such as Hegemon Palace and Gods of Destruction!
……
Unfortunately, good morale wasn’t enough to fill the gap in power. This hundred-man party just wasn’t good enough to fight 11 rockheads at the same time, so more than half of them were dead after just a couple of exchanges. Even that Level 92 magic knight was in grave danger as he tried to hold off two Desert Giants on his own!
The assassin called Little Four finally said, ”Squad leader, the guild leader agreed to send someone over. He has also called over 4000 brothers to gather at Sky Forest and make their way to Fire Desert right now. Warsky Alliance is going all out today! Today, we will wet the desert with the blood of Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Beiming Xue!”
The magic knight laughed heartily. ”Good, good! That is the guild leader I chose to serve! If he was any different, Warsky wouldn’t be Warsky, and our guild wouldn’t be Warsky Alliance anymore!”
”Hahahahaha…” Surprisingly, every one of these players was laughing despite the terrible situation they were in. Even I had to admit that their spirits were deserving of respect.
A few seconds later, a ding resounded across the Sky City—
Ding~!
