Chapter 505: Royal Knights (1/2)
He Yi nodded and pulled out Whirlwind. She ordered, “The location is (47893, 90483). Everyone, march!”
Gui Guzi immediately formed a 100-man party. Gui Guzi was now a fifth-promotion player who could party a maximum of 50 players, but since he was also a Famous General, that number was doubled to 100. This meant that Gui Guzi could share his Knight God with 100 mounted players including Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. The grinding of Fireblade Cavalry had never stopped since the day I founded it, so we just barely captured enough Fireblade Horses to make 100 Fireblade Cavalrymen. The 100 riders would be our trump card in any battle that took place on an open plain.
Beiming Xue, He Yi, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, and I also made our own hundred-man parties. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had 6 Famous Generals right now, meaning that 600 of our players got to share our buffs. They were powerful and numerous enough to make any opponent wish they were dead.
Of course, I was aware that our biggest enemy was Warsky Alliance, and they had a lot of Famous Generals too, five to be exact. Warsky, October Rain, Laughing At The Heavens, Farewell Song, and Lin Bing Dou Zhe. Quantity and quality wise, their Famous General Skills were almost at the same level as ours.
……
Snowy Cathaya, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and The Monarch Descends stayed separate as we marched across the forest and toward the unclaimed territory. Everyone’s morale was sky high because we just returned from the Coldblade War as the ultimate winners, and we just came back from a 24-hour long rest. Eager and in high spirits, we couldn’t wait to fight our very first battle after the server came back online. Moreover, there were over 100 fifth-promotion players in Sky City right now, so this territory war also counted as a face-off between all the fifth-promotion players in Sky City.
I looked at everyone and said, ”Their fighters are going to be at the frontline of course, so everyone who learned Barrier Break should be at the frontline as well. Use Barrier Break and your combos to one-shot their magic knights, okay?”
Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, Li Chengfeng, and the others nodded. ”Got it!”
I nodded. ”That’s right! Once we’ve secured this guild territory, we will have established a solid foothold in Sky City. Not even Candle Dragon will be able to threaten us after that!”
He Yi chuckled. ”Yes. We all have to do our best!”
……
Suddenly, our frontliners came to a halt. Staring at a side of the forest with a hint of caution in her eyes, Beiming Xue declared, ”About a hundred players are hiding down that direction! It’s an ambush!”
She wasn’t even finished speaking when a hail of arrows pierced the air and hit our frontliners.
Swhoosh!
That wasn’t all. A spiraling arrow was hidden amidst the arrow rain, and it landed next to Gui Guzi before bursting into an explosion. The magic knight and the riders around him all shuddered from the impact. It was incredibly rare to find an archer who could deal over 2000 damage to Gui Guzi these days.
Beiming Xue’s eyes sharpened as she exclaimed in anger. ”It’s the Archer’s fifth-promotion skill, the Spiraling Arrow Blade!”
Spiraling Arrow Blade was an offensive skill that dealt damage to an area of 3x3 yards. As an AoE skill, it was far more powerful than a Multi Arrow or Volley Arrow, and it possessed amazing Defense penetration. This was one of the reasons a fifth-promotion archer was drastically more powerful than a fourth-promotion archer, and none of us was expecting to be intercepted by one while we were still marching through the forest.
Chiang!
Gui Guzi pulled out Rainbow from behind his back and yelled angrily, ”Fireblade Cavalry, ride with me and slaughter them all!”
I also ran to the front and looked as far away as I could, relying on my level advantage to give me information. There were a hundred or so green dots on the mini map, but that wasn’t enough people to take out Gui Guzi’s Fireblade Cavalry. Even before Gui Guzi activated Knight God, they already didn’t belong in the same weight class as our riders. The gap was only bigger after our riders’ Attack and Defense were doubled.
At the same time, Beiming Xue and her hundred-man-strong archer party attempted to flank the enemy from the right wing. The girl had jumped to the edge of the forest and hid herself behind a bush, revealing only a pair of eyes above the grass. Slowly drawing the Blazing Shadow Bow and aiming at a certain location, she abruptly loosed a Spiraling Arrow Blade and caused a spiral explosion!
Bang!
Four enemy archers were sent flying out of their hiding spot. They were dead before they even hit the ground. I had to admit that the fifth-promotion skill was incredibly powerful, and that it was the perfect tool to one-shot an enemy.
At the same time, Gui Guzi reached a different archer and pierced his chest with a spear beam, dealing 8904 damage. Although he wasn’t a 5-Strength magic knight, his attack power was still very deadly and terrifying.
