Chapter 455: Fireblade Cavalry (1/2)

I teleported into the inn. Sky City was as bustling as ever.

Beep!

Xu Yang sent me a message: “Finally! Lu Chen, come to the guild territory as soon as you can. I’ve handpicked thirty high-level magic knights and wanderers yesterday, and they’re currently grinding at the foot of Dragonbone Mountain Range. If you’re coming, then I’ll call them back right now!”

“Got it, I’m coming over right away!”

I went to the warehouse first and stocked up on Health Potions and Magic Consumables for future grinding. Right now, my first priority was to increase Dark Moon City’s rank as quickly as possible, and my second priority was to increase my own level. I was the only CGL Hall of Famer in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and as the guild representative, countless people looked up to me. The second I fell behind in levels, the morale of the guild would surely suffer a huge blow.

Therefore, I had to maintain my level lead no matter what, at least until Li Chengfeng, Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi, and the others entered the CGL Hall of Fame!

……

I initiated the teleport to Dark Moon City. A ”swhoosh” later, I had appeared in my new undead castle. Not far away, a large group of Dark Knights were moving out of their caves and gathering as if they were waiting for me to give them an order.

”You’re here!”

Xu Yang ran up to me, and soon after a bunch of Ancient Sword Dreaming Soul players walked out of the teleportation formation in succession. They were all Level 105 and above, and many of them were familiar faces. These brothers and sisters had accompanied me and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls through many wars, so I knew they were both strong and loyal. They wouldn’t leave the guild even if we couldn’t afford to pay them for their services—which we could—and those who thought otherwise had left for another master a long time ago.

A smiling Xu Yang moved closer to me and lowered his voice. ”It took me an entire night to select these thirty people, so don’t worry about them not being able to pull their weight. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun would’ve been among them, but since he has his own Dark Gold Rank mount, I left him out. High Fighting Spirits, Legendary Brave, and other fighters are too low-level to equip a mount, so I left them out as well.”

”Mn, well done. Grant them the guild hall clearance and tell them to enter the guild hall.”

”Okay!”

I entered the guild hall first and waited. A while later, Xu Yang led the thirty riders into the hall. Everyone looked happy and excited, and some of them asked me directly with big grins, ”What’s the occasion, Vice Leader Lu Chen?”

At the current stage, any rider who possessed a Dark Steel Rank mount already felt like they were on top of the world, but this Silver Rank mount was even stronger than those mounts. Only a handful of people had truly witnessed the might of high-level mounts like the Snow Domain Windchaser or the Frostscythe Warhorse, so their excitement made perfect sense.

I withdrew the Sealing Stone and smiled. ”Yesterday, I spent the whole day grinding at Fireblade Valley and obtained a total of 30 Fireblade Warhorses. I’m planning to create a super cavalry regiment with a standardized mount for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and the reason I chose you all to join it is because you are strong, and because the guild trusts you. From now on, you are all core members of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and your success or failure will directly affect the guild’s fate. Therefore, please make sure to do your best once you receive these Sealing Stones!”

Astonishment growing, some of the players had to bite their lips to hold in their emotion. Some even clenched their fists and declared powerfully, ”Thank you, Vice Leader Lu Chen. We promise to do everything in our power to repay your trust and protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Don’t worry, for as long as we remain, no one shall bring harm to the guild!”

I smiled gladly. ”Okay. For the rise of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and for our dreams to conquer the world!”

”Hehe…”

Xu Yang let out an honest chuckle and joined in. ”Everyone, please stand in a line to receive your Sealing Stones from Lu Chen one by one. Don’t forget he worked through the night to get them for you. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that they’re literally drenched with his blood, sweat and tears…”

I rolled my eyes at him. ”That is definitely an exaggeration…”

”Hahaha!” Everyone laughed heartily at our exchange.

All thirty Sealing Stones were given out in the blink of an eye, and after we went out of the guild hall they summoned their Fireblade Warhorses and formed an orderly row. They pulled out their swords and nodded to me respectfully. ”What should we do now, vice leader?”

I sent Gui Guzi a message: ”How are things at Fireblade Valley?”

Gui Guzi replied, ”Not very well, unfortunately. We cleared out the whole map, but we only managed to tame 10 Fireblade Warhorses.”

”Bring yourself and your men to the guild territory.”

”Got it!”
