Chapter 611: This Guy Isn’t Human (1/2)
Caught off-guard by her sudden insult, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch placed a hand on the hilt of his sword and raised his eyebrows. “What’s that? Is there something you would like to share, Rose Thorn?”
The woman giggled seductively. “In a siege battle, the attackers are expected to outnumber their defenders at least 2 to 4 times if they wish to overtake a city. We’ve lost enough people already, and now you’re sending over 30000 players after a 1000-strong cavalry troop? If this isn’t a brain fart, then what is? No matter how powerful the Cyan Tiger Cavalry is, there are only so many people they can kill at a time. Therefore, the order you just gave is exactly what Gui Guzi wants you to do; split up your army and slowly harass them while keeping them away from the siege proper. Just order your men to tighten your formation, and they won’t be able to deal too much damage... Hmph, as expected of a Top 10 CGL Hall of Famer, Lu Chen has both the brains and the brawns.”
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch thought for a moment before smiling. “You’re right, Beauty Rose, tightening my formation is the best course of action. The Cyan Tiger Cavalry can attack us all they want; we’ll just bombard them to death if they ever come close!”
“Yes, exactly.” Rose returned the smile.
On the battlefield, the yellow sand beneath our feet was wet with blood. Layers upon layers of bodies were stacked beneath the city walls. After fighting for almost an hour, the number of our melee fighters had dwindled to just 5000 or so, and we had lost a lot of ranged attackers as well. The only good news was that Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang, and I were able to lodge ourselves deep within the enemy lines like poisonous thorns in their throats, so they weren’t able to bear their full power upon the city.
Bang bang bang…
Beiming Xue’s Evil Spirit Volley exploded together with her allies’ Spiraling Arrow Blades to wipe out a group of enemies.
I seized the opening to retreat closer to the city’s arrow towers.
“Motherfucker, don’t even think you can run away!”
A couple of Hall of Immortality players activated Charge and tried to stun me. All I had to give in response was a laugh and Guard!
Bang bang bang!
The enemy warriors and fighters rammed into me in succession, but before they could follow it up with an attack a huge arrow abruptly fell from the sky!
Squelch!
Crack!
The giant arrow that skewered the unfortunate warrior to the ground was just the beginning. The next moment, giant arrows started raining everywhere from the walls.
Squelch squelch squelch...
For a moment, the sounds of giant arrows skewering flesh and bones resounded melodiously in everyone’s ears. Thousands died as almost half of the enemies who came within range were instantly killed by the arrow towers.
Li Chengfeng couldn’t help but laugh. “This is gratifying!”
I nodded, then whispered, “Guys, our numbers are too small. It’s time to move back. Let’s set up a new defense line about 15 yards away from the city walls!”
High Fighting Spirits asked, “Why 15 yards?”
Chaos Moon chided him. “Stupid, Lu Chen isn’t making this decision without reason. Our arrow towers aren’t very tall, and it only has an attack range of 70 yards. Moreover, they are situated behind the city walls, so they can’t hit anything that’s less than 15 yards away, meaning that their real attack range is between 15 yards to 70 yards. That’s why we’re forming up 15 yards away from the city walls.”
I smiled. “Correct. Chaos Moon is a smart girl alright!”
And so we withdrew quickly into the range of our arrow towers and formed a defense line about 15 yards away from the walls. The knights of our subguilds also raised their shields and used Holy Shields to protect themselves from the enemy’s assault.
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch raised his sword and shouted, “Charge fearlessly! Victory is right before our eyes, and once we wipe out the remnants of our enemies the one and only Rank 6 undead castle in the whole server will belong to us!”
Rose Thorn’s eyes shone with the light of intelligence as she ordered, “Pierce through their defense line! Their arrow towers can’t shoot us past that point! Victory is ours once we get close enough to put up our ladders!”
We all felt a headache when we heard Rose Thorn’s command. She was just as intelligent and annoying as October Rain. We would much rather face brainless commanders like Roaming Dragon and Li Le than her.
“Defend to the death!” Li Chengfeng shouted, and the exchange of spells and blades renewed in earnest as we raised our weapons and clashed against the enemy again.
Meanwhile, Gui Guzi had launched another cavalry charge while the enemy was in the middle of arranging their formation and cut off their tail like a well-honed blade. 4000 Rose of the Holy Domain players quickly found themselves surrounded and slaughtered by the Cyan Tiger Cavalry. However, Rose Thorn was a woman of steel. She immediately abandoned those people and continued commanding the assault on the west wall. She wanted to take down the west wall of Dark Moon City as soon as possible.
It was a very satisfying battle. Everyone’s contribution points were rising like crazy. There had never been such a terrible and intense battle since the opening of Heavenblessed. Over 600000 players were participating in this battle, and no casual guilds were involved in this fight. It was the battle between super guilds.
Another hour passed in the blink of an eye. There was only an hour and a half left on the clock.
However, our frontliners had dropped drastically to just 700 or so, and practically every party besides those that were led by Famous Generals had been annihilated.
