Chapter 610: Gangster Cavalry (2/2)
Raising his Rainbow Spear like a banner and leading a huge group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen behind him, Gui Guzi charged into the weakest spot of Rose of the Holy Domain’s right flank where there were only 2000 players or so. Buffed by Gui Guzi and Heaven’s Rain’s Famous General Skill, the cavalry troops easily cut a bloody path through the enemy’s formation before disappearing from view.
Clang!
I pulled out the Cyan Netherworld Sword and pointed toward the front with a smile. “Brothers and sisters, the climax of our battle has arrived, so gather your courage and defend the pride and honor of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Hall of Immortality and Rose of the Holy Domain are targeting our home, so let us bury them beneath our city along with our blades and blood!”
Everyone pulled out their weapons and roared in agreement. Then, they waited with bated breaths for the inevitable to come.
A gloomy-looking Rose Thorn and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch were walking side by side directly in front of us. When Rose Thorn raised her weapon, her players immediately let out a chorus of battle cry and charged toward us. The high-spirited troops broke through our line of arrows and magical storms in no time.
“Kill them!”
I charged toward the enemy after barking the command and intercepted them about 30 yards away from the city walls. Faster than anyone, I froze a bunch of fighters with Thousand Ice Slash before wiping them from the surface of the earth with Burning Blade Slash!
After the successful assault, I assumed a Guard stance to block a bunch of arrows, then stabbed a fighter who attempted to use Crushing Blow on me with a Universe Break. Sword imbued with the energy of a dragon’s soul, I slashed horizontally and killed everyone who was within my attack range.
The Purple Thunder Cavalry and the Ghost Riders were Rose of the Holy Domain and Hall of Immortality’s trump cards, but we had already taken them out of the fight. Therefore, the enemies we were facing were less powerful and easier to handle. However, they still drastically outnumbered us, and the sheer number of arrows and Galaxy Storms chewing at my body were uncomfortable to say the least.
Countering aggression with aggression, I spun like a top and attacked anyone and everyone around me like crazy. Every time I hit an opponent, I was healing myself for 10% of the damage I dealt, not to mention the splash effect. My DPS for this battle was 20k or higher, meaning that I was healing 2000 HP per second at least. Naturally, this was an awesome way to regain health.
On the other side, Li Chengfeng was also spinning like a top and cutting down all the enemies around him like a hurricane. The Whirlwind Slash was both visually gorgeous and super effective in battle. When he skidded to a stop in the middle of a group and unleashed Reverse Scale Slash, the physiological and psychological trauma were devastating if I do say so myself.
Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, and everyone else were giving it their all too. Rock Crush, Mountain Stagger Slash, Xiezhi Howl; all sorts of AoE skills were exploding in the middle of the enemies and dealing a ridiculous amount of destruction. Like heroes, their presence terrified their opponents and invigorated their allies. As long as we remained standing, our people would know that there was still hope, and that we were still defending the honor of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls with our blood and sweat.
Boom boom boom...
The downpour of magic and arrows was growing by the minute. Knowing that they had the superior numbers, the enemy players ignored the bombardment coming from above the city walls and did everything in their power to wipe out our frontliners instead. Worse, Rose Thorn ordered some archers to attack our backliners with Far Shot, forcing Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone to move constantly or risk dying. We were drastically outnumbered, our firepower was limited, and even our priest count was steadily declining. A direct exchange like this was incredibly destructive for us.
It was at this moment a chorus of thunderous battle cries came from afar. It was Gui Guzi and Heaven’s Rain leading our Cyan Tiger Cavalry and slamming into the enemy’s backline like a truck. The mages and archers couldn’t kill our cavalry troops before they were hit, and not even guarding could save them from being trampled like pancakes. All they could do was wait for death to claim them as our cavalry troops reaped through them like a lawnmower.
It took only a moment for our elite cavalry to sweep through the enemy like a whirlwind using Barrier Breaks. Three-thousand-strong ranged party of Hall of Immortality was annihilated just like that!
Absolutely furious, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch raised his sword and shouted, “Someone, chase that Cyan Tiger Cavalry and kill them all! These motherfucking sons of bitches!”
A subguild of Hall of Immortality immediately heeded the order and chased after our elite cavalry with an army of five thousand, but Gui Guzi wisely retreated and lured them all the way to the edge of a forest. When the timing was right, he immediately turned around and clashed against the enemy, slaughtering them left and right as if their formation and numbers meant nothing to him. In fact, that was the case. The elite cavalry of 1000 easily punched through the enemy formation like an unstoppable train, and four of five charges later the subguild was all but wiped out!
Clearly, our Cyan Tiger Cavalry held the absolute advantage on an open terrain as long as the enemy didn’t outnumber them too much. This was especially true after they were buffed by Knight God and Knight General, a 150% and 100% buff to Attack, Defense, Magic Resist and HP. To put these horrifying buffs into perspective, an elite player of the same caliber as them couldn’t even penetrate their defenses after the buff was activated.
