Chapter 613: Eternal Oath (1/2)
Thud thud...
Two damage numbers rose above his head after he was hit by two Barrier Breaks—
14502!
13920!
Du Thirteen slowly collapsed to the ground in astonishment. He had failed to survive even the initial encounter. Unfortunately, he simply didn’t have the strength to tank this many high-level Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen alone.
A panicked Xue Lu fired a Spiraling Arrow Blade at the enemy while retreating, but there was nothing an archer could do to a super tanky rider of the Greedy Wolf Cavalry.
Yamete complained helplessly while healing Xue Lu, “Dammit, Thirteen’s Defense is too weak! I can’t heal him if he dies in the first exchange!”
Emperor’s Equal laughed disdainfully as he walked up to Du Thirteen’s body. “Is this the kind of trash you make your guild leader? Is this how the Bloody Mercenaries protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls? Pathetic! No wonder you guys are just a subguild! Men, slaughter every last one of them!”
The Greedy Wolf Cavalry let out an excited battle cry and attacked the remaining Bloody Mercenaries.
Suddenly, an aftershadow blitzed across the ground and stunned a Greedy Wolf Cavalry at the front row. Then, he unleashed the Thousand Ice Slash and froze a group of Greedy Wolf Cavalry. It was me, of course. Cutting off the head of a Greedy Wolf Cavalry and sending it bouncing across the ground with a kick, I shouted at Emperor’s Equal, “Hey fucker! I’m the guild leader of Bloody Mercenaries too! Do you dare 1v1 me, leader of some shit third-rate guild?”
“You…”
Emperor’s Equal’s face turned green as he looked at me. Clearly, he was aware that his chances of winning a duel against me were a big fat zero. However, he would lose face if he chose to reject my challenge. After all, his PvP skills were rated as first-class in Vanished God City, even if he wasn’t a top-tier player!
Glaring at me, Emperor’s Equal suddenly shouted, “Warriors of Throne Seeker, this is hardly the time for a duel when we’re running on a timer, is it?! The sooner we occupy the territory hall, the quicker victory will be ours. Kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and charge into the territory hall now!”
That sonuvabitch, he rejected my challenge using the siege as an excuse! This Emperor’s Equal might look like the brawny type, but he wasn’t without his repertoire of petty tricks!
The Apparition Ring flashed as the Greedy Wolf Cavalry charged toward me. An apparition immediately appeared behind my back and launched a Thousand Ice Slash at the enemy. The doppelganger only had 75% of my attack power, but it was still ridiculously powerful thanks to my Famous General Skill, Martial God.
While this was happening, my doppelganger rushed toward the enemy from the side and killed an archer with Universe Break. Then, he swung his weapon and used his own Burning Blade Slash, killing or wounding yet another group of players. After the successful assault, I made him move back so that the Greedy Wolf Cavalry couldn’t catch him in a melee and kill him. Somehow, the two of us were able to halt the advance of 5000-strong Greedy Wolf Cavalry, preventing them from taking a single step into the territory hall!
……
“Fuck! How is this possible!”
Pissed off, Emperor’s Equal urged his mount forward before shouting, “Brothers and sisters, follow my lead! Attack Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand while Burning Blade Slash and Universe Break are on cooldown, and he’ll be dead in no time! And you, Freezing Point! What the hell are you waiting for? Order your archers to shoot him already! I didn’t pay you to stand there and do nothing!”
An ashen-faced Freezing Point finally stepped out of a crowd and raised his weapon, shouting, “Waste and Burn, I’ve decided to betray Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls because they have been a cruel master to us! Let us kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand together as a gift to our new allies, Rose of the Holy Domain, Throne Seeker, and Hall of Immortality! With this act, we will free ourselves from servitude and let the world learn that Waste and Burn isn’t an insignificant guild! Instead of vassals, let us become a king of the world ourselves!”
Behind him, a group of archers slowly raised their bows and aimed at me. Most of them were original members of Waste and Burn, so they felt more loyalty toward Freezing Point than me. Countless Shock Arrows and Spiraling Arrow Blades flew my way immediately!
Thud thud thud!
I raised my arm and blocked the hail of arrows coming my way. It didn’t hurt, but it was incredibly annoying.
Emperor’s Equal wasn’t one to let go of an opportunity. He laughed and ordered. “Greedy Wolf Cavalry, charge! Kill that doppelganger on the right first!”
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
The fiery red riders charged my doppelganger and stunned him immediately. Then, Emperor’s Equal himself rushed to his side and hit him with a Universe Break and a triple thrust!
Squelch squelch squelch...
My doppelganger shook violently as his HP dropped—
17892!
7891!
8023!
8120!
A few more basic attacks from other Greedy Wolf Cavalry later, he dropped to the ground and died.
I moved to the entrance of the territory hall with a dark expression on my face. As much as I wanted to launch a counterattack, my main duty was to prevent the enemy from stepping inside.
