Chapter 374: Desert Battle (1/2)
”Vice leader, add me to your party!” Legendary Brave yelled.
I approved his party request immediately and added Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Xu Yang and other core experts as well. As a fourth-promotion player, I had the power to party a maximum of 19 players at most. It wasn’t much, but everyone I added just now were first-rate experts. With a 75% Attack increase, this 20-man party of ours was positively deadly!
……
Crack!
Suddenly, Farewell Song appeared next to Legendary Brave like a ghost and swung his dagger in a twisting pattern, a whirlpool of energy threatening to tear him apart. The dragon warrior looked apprehensive at first, but he let out a chuckle, spun around, and countered with a deadly swing to Farewell Song’s back!
”Hmph!”
Farewell Song withdrew immediately, but before he could put too much distance between himself and Legendary Brave, the latter abruptly raised his arm and summoned a column of cyan energy from beneath Farewell Song’s feet!
Dragonrise!
It was a magic-based, single-target, long-range offensive skill. It was slightly similar to my Dragon Slaying Slash!
3498!
Farewell Song lost a huge chunk of HP and was forced to withdraw even faster than he already was. The shocked assassin successfully turned himself invisible again with a fluorescent powder, and Legendary Brave didn’t bother chasing him. He turned toward a crowd of enemies and cut players down left and right.
On the other side, High Fighting Spirits was also charging a group of players and swinging his battle axe at them. His axe split the ground and caused cyclones to appear around him, which promptly turned into a circular-shaped shockwave—Xiezhi Howl!
Thud thud thud!
All the players caught within the AoE skill were murdered. High Fighting Spirits’ Attack was a lot better than when I saw him last time since he and the others spent every day grinding mobs or bosses. It was only a matter of time before he got a good item or two.
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun went deeper in the enemy lines than anyone else in our party. He actually managed to dish out a Rock Smash and push Warsky away. But Warsky was no pacifistic guild leader, and he immediately retaliated with a triple-hit combo that forced Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun to retreat. Xu Yang immediately replaced his position and knocked Warsky back again, shouting, ”Warsky, you son of a bitch!”
Angered, Warsky clashed swords against Xu Yang and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun in a 1v2. Surprisingly, he was able to go even against the two of them! Not bad!
……
We pushed back Warsky Alliance’s forces down the hill and all the way back to the desert where several thousand enemy players were already waiting for us. Heavy armor players occupied the frontlines, and back archers and mages waited for the signal to attack at the back. They were clearly planning to decide once and for all who the ultimate power in Sky City was on this desert plain!
I looked behind me and noted that about 3000 of our players had arrived to join the battle. It was enough!
All the players in my party squeezed their way to the forefront. They would be the strongest spear to pierce the enemy’s strongest shield. Warsky himself, Laughing at the Heavens and the rest of their core players had also moved to the frontlines to stop our charge. The clash of power was inevitable.
……
Gripping his sword and staring at the enemy formation with a smile, Xu Yang said, ”In the end, there’s no avoiding this moment. Warsky Alliance had been itching to fight us for a long time now, so it’s only right that we fulfill their wish, right?”
”Heh!”
I chuckled in response before pointing my sword to the front, ordering, ”We’ll be slow-pushing our way forward! Priests, get ready to heal our frontliners and keep them healthy! Beiming Xue, activate Range and prepare to Volley with our archers! Try and disrupt their formation!”
But my intelligent younger sister had already been on the move even before I gave the order. She quickly created a 10-man party of her own—all of them high-level archers—and activated Range. Once everyone’s attack range was increased by 25%, she immediately seized the initiative!
”Ready, aim high, loose!”
The archers drew their bows about 70 yards away from the enemy before loosing their bowstrings. A rain of arrows immediately fell toward the enemy’s formation!
Thud thud thud...
The enemy shields vibrated incessantly as the arrows hit them, but even more arrows landed squarely on the melee fighters’ heads. As a result, some of the lower health warriors were one-shot where they stood!
Warsky parried away an arrow aimed at his direction and spat on the ground. Then, he shouted, ”Eyes up, everyone! It is time to push our formation forward! The day to destroy Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is today!”
As I thought, Warsky Alliance’s formation started moving slowly toward us.
I smiled and pointed the Heaven-stealing Sword at the sky. I shouted, ”Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, charge! Kill them all!”
We would be the ones to take the offensive!
The hundreds of fighters at the front started charging toward the enemy in high spirits. I myself waited until the enemy got close before I activated Thunderous Charge!
Swhoosh!
Once the Level 93 warrior I was targeting got stunned, I hit him with a Desperate Gambit before his priests could heal him!
5892!
He went down after another basic attack!
Not far away, He Yi was also charging the enemy frontline. The way her cape flapped to the wind looked incredibly attractive, as evident from the dumb expressions on the faces of the warriors who were facing her. In fact, the foremost warrior who was only a yard away from He Yi looked like he would keel where he stood when he saw her exquisite face!
That didn’t stop He Yi from attacking. She swung her Soul Stealing Spear and used Green Wave Slash!
