Chapter 487: October Rain’s Mistake (1/2)
Unfortunately, there was a saying: “the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks”. And what happened at this moment was one such setback. A row of high-level elite players suddenly appeared at the horizon, they all wore the emblems of Warsky Alliance on their shoulders. Did the fuckers finally catch onto the fragrant scent of the boss?
Warsky took point as his CGL Hall of Famers—October Rain, Laughing At The Heavens and Farewell Song—followed closely behind. Even further behind was a group of 3000 or so super high level players. It looked like all surviving members of Warsky Alliance had moved to the east side, and considering the timing they couldn’t be here for anything but the boss!
……
“OMG, Warsky is here. What should we do?” Lin Yixin shot me an inquiring look. “Do we send someone to intercept them? Or…”
I looked away from Warsky Alliance and asked her, “Can we even intercept them in time?”
“No, we can’t…”
The main bulk of Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ forces were currently being held back by the Giant Iceflame Beasts, so they couldn’t spare the manpower to intercept Warsky Alliance. Clearly, Warsky had decided to give up on the ninth monster wave to the Mad Lion Legion NPCs and focus all their efforts on the boss. It was a straightforward but risky plan. If they failed, they would lose both the experience and loot of the ninth monster wave and the boss.
Li Chengfeng uttered through gritted teeth, “Fuck, we can’t let Warsky Alliance reach us! We need to come up with something!”
I nodded and ordered, “Gui Guzi, go with the Fireblade Cavalry and intercept Warsky Alliance. Stall them for as long as you can. Show them the might of our cavalry troop and your Knight God!”
Gui Guzi raised his rainbow spear and answered with a loud laugh, “No worries, boss! See you later!”
Gui Guzi and thirty-two Fireblade Cavalrymen left to intercept Warsky Alliance just like that. Unfortunately, the Fireblade Cavalry had taken some losses during the earlier fight. With only 32 people and Gui Guzi, it was doubtful that they could form an organized charge, much less stop Warsky Alliance’s 3000-man army. To be it bluntly, I just sent Gui Guzi and the Fireblade Cavalry to their deaths. However, it was an order I had to make: I was the commander of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and it was my responsibility to make tough decisions to benefit the greater good of our guild.
Gui Guzi attacked Warsky Alliance head-on, and the enemy experts rushed out to meet him. October Rain stunned him with a long-range Shock Arrow, and Laughing At The Heavens activated his own Charge to shorten the distance between Gui Guzi and himself in an instant. He swung his spear and used Icicle Thrust!
Pu!
The skill hit his chest armor, but Gui Guzi only shuddered a little before a disdainful smile crossed his lips. Icicle Thrust had only dealt 1894 damage to Gui Guzi because his Defense was increased by at least a 100% thanks to Knight God. There was no way Laughing At The Heavens had the power to deal a severe blow to him.
The moment the stun duration was over, Gui Guzi immediately retaliated with a mighty charge and a thrust that sent Laughing At The Heavens stumbling. His rainbow spear not only penetrated the CGL Hall of Famer’s chest, but also the two assassins directly behind him!
“Aahh…”
The two assassins screamed and died instantly. There was no way a leather-armor class could withstand the Outstanding Property of a four-star Outstanding weapon.
Warsky roared and swung his sword mightily at Gui Guzi’s torso. He actually scored a devastating hit with his Explosion Slash!
4784!
Not even the toughest player could take a critical hit to the face without some damage. Gui Guzi’s HP instantly dropped to half or so, but that didn’t stop him from pushing through the hail of arrows and magic flying his way and trampling his enemies. The Fireblade Cavalry also galloped through their enemies and killed the closest line of archers to them in droves.
The battle was fierce and bloody. Although Warsky Alliance had the number advantage, Gui Guzi and the Fireblade Cavalry had the absolute quality advantage on their side. For a time, they actually managed to hold off Warsky Alliance’s three-thousand strong army at bay!
It was at this moment Warsky looked to the distance and shouted, “Brothers and sisters, do not be distracted by Gui Guzi! Circle around his cavalry troops and charge the boss now! Victory is ours as long as we kill the boss! Also, I want several hundred people to delay their cavalry troops as much as possible!””
As ordered, October Rain and a group of Archers and Warriors circled around our cavalry troops and went straight for the Level 151 Earth Rank boss God Dancer! They weren’t even trying to hide their objective! October Rain had great movement speed, and she was able to reach us in just the blink of an eye. He Yi got stunned by Shock Arrow from afar, but lucky for us it didn’t result in a death.
……
It was an impossible battle to begin with. Warsky Alliance easily overwhelmed the defense line Gui Guzi and the Fireblade Cavalry tried to construct, and October Rain and her people were rushing the 5% HP God Dancer almost suicidally. They really were going all out on this gamble.
Suddenly, God Dancer raised her jade flute deferentially again. A thought flashed across my mind like lightning as I shouted, “Everyone, move 50 yards to the back now! Warsky Alliance can have the boss if they like her that much!”
“What?? We’re withdrawing??” Li Chengfeng exclaimed in shock.
“Don’t question my orders! Retreat now!”
“Got it!”
