Chapter 510: Animal Stampede (2/2)
He Yi: ”...”
Gui Guzi: ”...”
……
So I contacted Lin Yixin and told her, ”Yiyi, we’re losing too many people. I can’t let everyone die or the bastards will say I’m neglecting them and ignore my orders in the future, so… we’ve more or less taken out their main force anyway, so we’ll go to the outskirts to keep the other guilds from coming in and leave the next part of the assault to Snowy Cathaya, okay?
Lin Yixin chuckled. ”Mn, okay. Thank you for everything, Little Cheat! You did well!”
”You’re welcome. Soooo, wanna get a room later when we’re free?”
”OMG, we’re in the middle of a territory war right now. Is this really the right time to tease a girl?”
”So? I’m about to disengage anyway. Come on, talk to me while we slaughter these noobs…”
Lin Yixin didn’t know what to say. ”Fine, fine, I’ll talk with you. But if Farewell Song manages to ambush and kill me, you’d better take revenge for me, you hear?”
”I got it. I’ll chase anyone to the ends of the world if they touch even a hair on you!”
”Someone has a silver tongue today!”
”Haha!”
I turned off the communicator just in time to see Snowy Cathaya shifting from the wing toward us just as discussed.
I instantly raised my sword and shouted inside the guild channel. ”Brothers and sisters, we’ve terrorized Warsky Alliance enough already! All that’s left to do is to withdraw to the outskirts, kill some noobs and stop the other guilds from getting inside!”
Li Chengfeng cheered. ”Hell yes, I’ve been waiting for this!”
High Fighting Spirits shouted while swinging his axe, ”Just let me kill a couple more of these bastards!”
I rolled my eyes at him and said, ”Kill my ass! Get back here already! Gui Guzi, drag him with you if you have to!”
”Yessir!”
Gui Guzi cut a path toward High Fighting Spirits. Then, he grabbed the barbarian by the collar, lifted him into the air and returned to us.
……
We retreated to the borders of the territory and started relaxing. We felt no guilty conscience whatsoever since we had already completed our main goal and wiped most of Warsky Alliance’s main forces. The only ones we couldn’t kill were their Famous General such as Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Warsky and Laughing At The Heavens. Farewell Song in particular couldn’t even be locked down because he was a master at stealth combat, and he operated all over the battlefield like a wandering spirit.
Once we stopped at the wooden fences, we started exchanging glares with the random guilds parked outside the territory. Absolutely no one was getting past us.
Meanwhile, disappointed High Fighting Spirits moved to the gates and slammed his battle axe to the ground. Then, he looked at the distant players and taunted them, ”What’s wrong? You wanna fight? Let’s fight then! Come come!”
The casual players looked afraid as a matter of course. Sure, High Fighting Spirits’ Invincible was an incredibly attractive bait, but they hadn’t forgotten that the barbarian warrior was a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Moreover, all of our core players—I, He Yi, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun—were alive and well, so no one had the guts to touch even a hair on our bodies.
And so the staring tournament continued as we waited for Snowy Cathaya to finish off Warsky Alliance and end this territory war.
For Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, this battle was basically one giant combat exercise. More importantly, it was a test to see how effective Barrier Break really was in a large-scale battle. I could now confidently say that the result was as good as I expected it to be. The 6-second skill was perfect for breaking defenses, and I’m sure the eight of us terrorized Warsky Alliance so much that they probably developed PTSD.
Some distance away from us, Lin Yixin was attacking Warsky Alliance with Purple Marquis, Clear Perfume, Shadow Chanel, and others. Unlike us, Snowy Cathaya had a party of mages who could cast Galaxy Storm, and even better, they were empowered by Bombshell. Finally, Warsky was forced to taste his own medicine. The Galaxy Storms absolutely ravaged Warsky Alliance, and it wasn’t long before they crumbled completely. Plus, it wasn’t like The Monarch Descends was idle throughout this fight. Ling Xueshang and her Unyielding also helped crush Warsky Alliance to the point of no return.
The war was settled in less than an hour. Warsky Alliance’s elites were driven into the elven hall, and Lin Yixin charged right in to fight them.
We were still watching the door while all this was happening. Some people were boasting out of their minds and talking shit. Some were teasing the girls and enjoying their reactions. It was almost as if we were having a party. The casual guilds were pissed off by our lackadaisical attitude, but they didn’t have the guts to attack us either. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, all they could do was stare with us with ever-growing envy.
……
A short while later, a ding notified us that Snowy Cathaya had claimed ownership over the territory!
