Chapter 490: Lin Bing Dou Zhe (2/2)
I smiled. “I’m sure you can do more damage than Beiming Xue if you’re willing to put in the effort.”
“But of course…”
Li Chengfeng swung his sword once, and the Tempest Sword created a violent circular whirlwind with a 5-yard radius in the middle of Cavalry Death Knights. The mobs shivered as the skill dealt over ten thousand damage to them. The Tempest Sword definitely deserved its reputation as a level 120 offensive-type sword. Although its Attack was slightly inferior to Whirlwind, it was still very amazing.
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
At the back, Murong Mingyue and our Priests were munching Dragon Meat Soup and healing the frontliners with everything they got at the same time. Our defense line would’ve crumbled a long time ago without them!
Fire rained from the sky as He Yi’s Firelight Mouse cast its spells. Its Magic Attack was comparable to that of a high level mage, and its spells were AOE spells. Because of this, He Yi accumulated a huge amount of points in this war.
At the distance, Snowy Cathaya had fighting a hard battle. Purple marquis and Lin Yixin were doing everything they could to aggro as many mobs as possible and protect their backliners, but the Coldblade Death Knights still managed to punch a couple of holes in their defense line and wreak havoc on the Archers and Mages.
Monarch Defense fared even worse. After the death of Purple Wind Chime, Mo Xiaoxiao and other high level fighters, the remaining frontliners were incapable of stopping the Coldblade Death Knights at all. The battle quickly turned into a massacre after their defense line crumbled, and tens of thousands of mobs swarmed them from every direction. Ling Xueshang wore a helpless expression because she knew it was over for them.
I frowned at the sight of our dying ally. It was too late to save The Monarch Descends, not to mention that we were barely keeping it together ourselves. I ordered Gui Guzi, “Little Gui, take a few riders with you and protect Ling Xueshang! Escort her and anyone else who’s still alive into our formation!”
“Got it!”
I also sent Ling Xueshang a message, “Xueshang, round up whoever’s still alive in your guild and join our formation while you still can! You can continue the fight from there!”
“Got it!” Ling Xueshang accepted the offer without hesitation.
On the other side, Warsky Alliance wasn’t faring much better either. Warsky Alliance’s defense line was in chaos right now. Although Warsky and Laughing At The Heavens’ Famous General Skill boosted their frontliners just enough to hold on, but there were still too many holes in their defense line. With only a thousand players or so, it was only a matter of time before they crumbled completely.
“Aahh…”
We lost another row of fighters because a Coldblade Death Knight scored a lucky critical hit with its Blade Sweep. The skill was so powerful that anyone with slightly inferior tankability were one-shot without mercy. This was one thing our Priests could do nothing about no matter how powerful they were.
……
“Roar!”
My Silver Dragon Ring flashed and caused a Silver Dragon Storm in the area with the most Coldblade Death Knights, killing the low health ones instantly. Although they dropped a ton of equipment, Magic Stones and other items, no one was crazy enough to pick them up. It was suicide to move out of the battle line, and even a super tank like Gui Guzi would die if he was completely surrounded by the Coldblade Death Knights.
Level 155 Shadow-rank mobs were tough enough, but their stats were even stronger in a massive quest like this one. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this a purgatory level quest!
Still, high risk was usually accompanied with high reward. After the Silver Dragon Storm took out the 20 or so Coldblade Death Knights, my experience also rose by a whopping 3%. How insane was that? At this rate, I could probably hit level 125 and equip the six-star outstanding Earth-grade equipment, the Soul Suppessing Cloak in less than 20 minutes!
Joy and hope settled snugly in my heart as I continued to fight at the vanguard. The Heaven-stealing Sword’s durability had dropped to less than 15%, and He Yi’s Whirlwind was starting to glow red as well. The visual effect meant that the weapon was low on durability. However, the battle was so fierce that we couldn’t afford to conserve any energy at all.
In fact, most people had lost their weapons in the middle of the battle. However, they could almost always pick up a weapon from the ground and continue the battle immediately. For example, Chaos Moon was currently swinging a spear like a complete novice. Its Attack was obviously not as good as the sword she originally used, but it was still much better than fighting bare-handed.
……
Time passed bit by bit, and our player count dropped from 1800 to 1500, and to 1000. Another half an hour later, only a paltry 476 players were still standing on the battlefield. Everyone who was still alive was the elite of elites, but the sacrifice of our comrades’ levels still hurt our souls deeply.
Our united army had shrunk to less than a thousand, and Lin Yixin was fighting by my side right now. She let out a bitter laugh and commented in a helpless tone, “So many people died in this monster wave…”
I nodded. “Not only that, there are still over 30% of Coldblade Knights left…”
“Uuuu, what should we do…”
Suddenly, a system announcement dinged across all China servers—
