Chapter 374: Desert Battle (2/2)
Boom!

……
All the enemy melees hit by the skill suffered huge damage thanks to Martial God’s ridiculous attack buff. Even the mages, priests, tamers, and archers at the back who were caught off-guard by the range of the skill were one-shot where they stood. Green Wave Slash had an attack range of 40 yards, and it was enough to make the life of anyone caught in it a living hell.
After that, Legendary Brave, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Chaos Moon, and everyone else also hit the frontlines and unleashed their own attacks, beating the enemy shields like a drum. Even worse, most of our core players had AoE skills such as Legendary Brave’s Reverse Scale Slash, High Fighting Spirits’ Xiezhi Howl, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s Rock Smash, and so on. The flabbergasted expressions on the faces of the players of Warsky Alliance were all that needed to be said about our devastating offense.
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was no longer the guild it used to be a long time ago. Today, our guild was overflowing with experts and support, our first-rate experts numbered more than ten, and Beiming Xue, Legendary Brave, and I were super or even peak-level experts in our own right.
Usually, a guild only needed one peak expert to serve as the model and one spiritual leader to look up to. However, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had more than one of each, so we were really not inferior to Warsky Alliance that had three CGL Hall of Famers in their guild!
……
Magic spells and arrows flew everywhere. Both sides suffered huge losses so far. The frontlines of both sides were completely joined together, and even my armor was covered in arrows or dark, smoky patches caused by enemy magic attacks. I had lost almost half my health in just a minute despite my amazing recovery and Defense, meaning that everyone else only fared worse than me.
Wolf Fang, Alexander, and others had already died and were desperately ”running” back to their bodies. The battle had devolved into chaos as both sides did their utmost to annihilate the enemy.
He Yi was sticking close to me so that we could cover each other’s backs. Unfortunately, it was like two brightly painted targets had merged together to make one giant target that drew everyone’s attention. The enemy mages stared at us with bloodshot eyes and shouted, ”Over there, From Water and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand are over there! The leader and vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! This is our chance to kill both of them at once!”
Below us a sea of flames covered our feet, above us meteors and ice attacks kept falling onto our heads, and around us wind blades diced into our armors as everyone partook in the terrifying danse macabre. In a sense, it felt absolutely incredible to be the center of everyone’s attacks!
The reason we were still alive was because Murong Mingyue was commanding a huge group of priests to heal us with everything they had, and somehow that was enough for us to endure the crazy amount of attacks coming our way and push back the enemy. What an exhilarating experience!
……
”Eve!” I shouted.
”Hmm?” He Yi cocked her head at me. ”What’s wrong?”
”Did you notice? October Rain’s nowhere to be seen…”
”Huh, you’re right. I remember seeing her dueling with Lil Beiming just a while ago. Where has she gone to?”
Alarm bells ringing inside my head, I shouted in the party channel, ”All generals, I want you to communicate with your subordinates and locate October Rain immediately! Don’t let her take us by surprise!”
……
A few minutes later, I finally got a reply from Gui Guzi, ”Found her. Fuck! The girl’s circling around the sides and attempting to assault our flanks with 400+ players. She’s trying to catch us in a pincer! What a devious woman…”
I smiled. ”Little Gui, I want you and Thirteen to intercept her with some of our brothers. Give her no chance to execute her plan!”
”Okay!”
Soon after, a small skirmish broke out at the wings of the battlefield as well.
……
The desert battle lasted for almost an hour, and there were bodies all over the place. Finally, Warsky Alliance could no longer hold on because their frontliners had almost been completely annihilated. Legendary Brave and I had the highest DPS out of everyone. Reverse Scale Slash and Thousand Ice Slash were always going to kill someone every time we used them, and our Attack stats were so high that the enemy melees could do nothing but escape or die.
Even CGL Hall of Famers didn’t seem as powerful as they used to be due to the scale of the battle. Although Laughing at the Heavens, October Rain, and Farewell Song were all amazing players who could solo ten enemies on their own, any more than that and it became too much for them to handle. Farewell Song was the biggest threat out of all of them because he was able to lurk amid our backlines and assassinate countless mages and archers until Beiming Xue finally dragged him out of hiding. He was then turned into a porcupine by a bunch of angry archers.
Gripping a blood-stained sword, Warsky growled. ”Everyone, let’s withdraw to the inner area. Hmph! This isn’t over yet, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Those who were dead, please revive as soon as possible!”
Not long after, Warsky Alliance slowly withdrew to the inner area.
……
Staring at the heart of Fire Desert where Warsky Alliance lay, Beiming Xue said, ”It looks like Warsky has given up on trying to defeat us and decided to go for his other objective, the Desert Giant King, instead…”
Gui Guzi smiled. ”He can dream on. The boss belongs to our 20-man party, am I right, boss Broken Halberd?”
I nodded. ”That’s right, the boss is ours!”
”Hahaha!”
After we confirmed our new goal, we continued our pursuit of Warsky Alliance!
……
However, Du Thirteen suddenly shouted from our backline, ”Fuck! Can we get some players over as soon as possible? Hegemon Palace just appeared behind us!”
