Chapter 595: Together, We Fulfill Our Oath (2/2)
Inside the guild channel—
Gui Guzi: ”Live battle report, Boss Broken Halberd! We’ve clashed against a Warsky Alliance squad! It’s a two-thousand-man party led by Hundred Battler!”
I asked, ”How was it?’
Gui Guzi chuckled. ”It’s a slaughter. Our organized charge is just too much for them to handle. They were killed before they were able to mount any sizable resistance at all. Heaven’s Rain managed to poke Hundred Battler to death with Barrier Break, and I estimate that the battle will be over in 5 minutes tops. It’s about 2000 kills to 100 deaths in our favor!”
”Well done!” I smiled gladly. Although it took Gui Guzi and our mounted players nearly two days and nights to forge the Cyan Tiger Cavalry, it was absolutely worth the time and effort. We had cleaned out all of the Rare mounts in Cyan Tiger Forest, and our cavalry troops were currently unbeatable in the entire world. Warsky Alliance must be entertaining quite the headache right now.
Xu Yang also cheered for him. ”Well done, Little Gui! Keep it up!”
Gui Guzi asked, ”Brother Yang, are you with boss Broken Halberd and the others right now? What are you guys doing?”
Xu Yang answered, ”We’re intercepting Hall of Immortality, Throne Seeker and Rose of the Holy Domain at Cyanstone Valley to buy as much time for you as possible.”
Gui Guzi: ”Will you die?”
Xu Yang: ”Hell yeah!”
Gui Guzi declared, ”Don’t worry, I will return with everyone as soon as possible. I promise I won’t allow my brothers and sisters to bleed more than is necessary!”
Heaven’s Rain also chimed in. ”Yeah, please hold on, everyone!”
……
Li Chengfeng and I exchanged a smile with each other. We both couldn’t help but be moved and gladdened by the atmosphere in the guild right now. Our party was united because we were all willing to throw our lives away for each other. Just as we were about to fight a suicidal battle to buy time for Gui Guzi and our mounted players, Gui Guzi and our mounted players were also fighting to defend their oath to protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
It was at this moment we started hearing the rumbling of horse hooves. It grew louder and louder until the entire valley was shaking with the noise. Soon, a seemingly endless wave of players appeared from the horizon like a black tide. The enemy’s vanguard were cavalry troops, but unlike our homogeneous Cyan Tiger Cavalry, they were made up of all kinds of mounts. It looked neither uniform nor organized.
”Here they come. God damn, they’re fast!” Xu Yang said while gripping his sword tighter.
Standing at the forefront and gripping my own weapon tightly, I growled, ”Together, we fulfill our oath and protect the Ancient Sword!”
Everyone pulled out their weapons in unison and responded in kind, ”Together, we fulfill our oath and protect the Ancient Sword!”
The declaration resounded throughout the valley and inside everyone’s heart. When a person became determined, and they knew that the things they protected were worth protecting, they could give it their all even at the cost of their life!
The enemy’s random assortment of riders reached us in just the blink of an eye, the guild emblems on their shoulder shining brightly. The guild emblem resembled a pink rose, but it was the symbol of the second subguild of Rose of the Holy Domain, not the main guild!
”Motherfucker!” Li Chengfeng uttered through clenched teeth. ”How cunning! They sent a subguild to test us! This Rose of the Holy Domain is definitely no small fry!”
I smiled. ”Prepare for battle. Archers, Far Shot!”
……
At the back, countless arrows cut through the air after Beiming Xue gave the order. Almost every archer had loosed more than 10 arrows in 3 seconds since max-rank Volley was composed of 12 arrows. A sea of iron arrows covered the sky for a time!
Pu pu pu...
Sparks flew everywhere as the powerful shots hit the knights’ metal armor. However, at least one-third of the arrows managed to penetrate the metal and sink into their target’s flesh, especially the Evil Spirit volley from Beiming Xue. The skill had exploded in between a group of players and dealt a shocking amount of splash damage. In that instant, countless riders fell off their mounts and died. They were just the second subguild of the Rose of the Holy Domain after all. Neither their equipment nor their levels were the best of the best.
Moonlight Stone also aimed her staff to the front and shouted, ”Mages, suppressive fire with Galaxy Storm!”
