Chapter 505: Royal Knights (2/2)
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and the others also charged into the enemies and inflicted various injuries and painful screams upon the enemy. I had no doubt that we could take out our opponents without suffering any losses, but the problem was that these ambushers belonged to Hegemon Palace.
”What on earth is Pillar of the Nation planning?” He Yi sounded a bit confused. ”Did he seriously believe that he could defeat our thirteen-thousand-strong army with these small fries?”
I smiled. ”It’s simple. He’s just trying to delay us while he comes up with a plan to steal the territory from beneath Warsky Alliance’s nose. If I’m not mistaken, Hegemon Palace, Gods of Destruction, Flower Room, and Mad Dragon are plotting something as well. Warsky Alliance’s momentum is too great, and they cannot possibly hope to stop them.”
”You’re right!” He Yi nodded. ”In that case, let us ignore these distractions and continue our march!”
We continued forward at the same speed as before while Gui Guzi and Beiming Xue’s parties hunted down the stragglers. If we didn’t reach the guild territory as soon as possible, there was a high chance Warsky Alliance or Hegemon Palace would finish preparing an unpleasant surprise for us.
……
Half an hour later, we marched out of the forest and into a wide plain. At the center of the plain was a newly-established elven city, and at the center of the elven city was a hall. It was surrounded by various simple-looking Rank 1 buildings such as Elf Tree, Owl Nests, and so on. The walls were really wooden fences, and they didn’t look very sturdy at all. It might be faster and more convenient to just flatten them when we breach the city.
”Looks like a lot of people have arrived…” Gui Guzi pointed his spear at the city with a smile. ”And it looks like the waters are equally murky…”
It was as he said when we marched closer and could see inside the city properly. Warsky Alliance had taken out all the NPC mobs already, and his generals—Lin Bing Dou Zhe, October Rain and so on—were commanding the defenses and stopping all enemy forces from getting inside. I didn’t see Warsky anywhere, which probably meant that he was guarding the hall. He had entrusted the outer defense to his three CGL Hall of Famers and the new recruit, Lin Bing Dou Zhe. That ”Renown” of his was incredibly powerful, and it didn’t have a class restriction, just like my Martial God. It was no wonder Warsky Alliance gave off an aura of invincibility right now.
A sea of players encircled the city from every direction, but every last one of them had red name tags, meaning that they were all our enemies. Just as I had predicted earlier, Flower Room and Mad Dragon had gathered around eighty thousand players and surrounded the territory completely. They were forbidding all unfriendly guilds from getting close to the territory. Meanwhile, Gods of Destruction and Hegemon Palace were attacking the territory with everything they got. Clearly, the four guilds had come to a temporary alliance.
Looking at Mad Dragon, I saw Roaming Dragon sitting atop his mount, gripping his spear with one hand and hugging Coldmoon Rose’s waist with the other. Ever once in a while, the girl would shoot a flirtatious look at some player from Mad Dragon. It looked like the girl had caught the legendary illness called ”I’ll die if I don’t flirt”.
It was at this moment Roaming Dragon raised his spear and shouted, ”Do not let even a fly move past you, brothers and sisters of Mad Dragon! Remember, everyone in ‘Royal Knights’ gets to enjoy the same benefits once we took over this territory!”
Ah, I see. The four of them joined forces and formed an alliance called ”Royal Knights”, is that it?
I couldn’t help but smile a little. Stepping out of the battle line and pointing the Heaven-stealing Sword at Roaming Dragon, I said, ”So overbearing. Do you fools really think you can keep this territory to yourself?”
A bit of hatred peeked out of Coldmoon Rose’s eyes as she said, ”Try us then, Lu Chen. We’ve brought all our main guilds and sub-guilds together, and there are almost 200 thousand of us. You don’t have nearly enough people to beat us!”
I laughed. ”Bold words for a useless mob. You could gather twenty billion people, and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls would still annihilate you all!”
I then raised my sword and shouted, ”Brothers and sisters, it is time to let these so-called ‘Royal Knights’ have a taste of your skill and blade, and show them what an unbeatable army really is! I want every last member of Mad Dragon and Flower Room wiped from the surface of the earth, and I want everyone with a red name tag dead before the day is over! Red is dead! Charge!”
The battle broke out immediately. To our sides, Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends also launched their assault. First, we would take out the Royal Knights. Then, we would chase Warsky Alliance out of the elven hall!
……
Swhoosh!
Gui Guzi broke into a gallop at first notice, and a Level 121 magic knight rushed forward to face him. Considering the amount of Purple Gold–grade equipment on his person, he was probably a core player of Flower Room. Unfortunately for this guy, his opponent was the Undying Knight Gui Guzi.
There was a shower of sparks as the magic knight swung mightily at Gui Guzi’s shield. However, it failed to do much damage to Gui Guzi.
Gui Guzi retaliated with a thrust of his own spear. A blazing cone of energy appeared at the tip of Rainbow, and the roars of an animal could be heard vaguely.
