Chapter 614: Avengers (1/2)
Boom boom!
17894!
9089!
Two damage numbers rose above the man’s head at the same time. Emperor’s Equal’s HP and Defense were reduced by 30% because of Royal Road, so he had less than a third of his health left after the double attack. Paling, he tried to retaliate only to find that He Yi had galloped away from him. Fighting him directly had never been part of her plan.
Mn, He Yi had pulled off a beautiful move there. The enemies were all Greedy Wolf Cavalry, and yet she was able to score a surprise attack on their guild leader and escape perfectly. It was proof that the countless bouts she had fought in the arena weren’t a waste, and her grasp of tactics and techniques had improved by leaps and bounds!
Clop clop clop...
The Snow Domain Windchaser neighed softly when He Yi came to a stop in front of us. Frowning slightly, she asked me, “Mingyue and I rushed back when we heard that Hall of Immortality, Rose of the Holy Domain, and Throne Seeker are attacking our city, and now our eighth subguild has betrayed us? What on earth is going on, Lu Chen?”
I gritted my teeth as I answered, “Waste and Burn’s guild leader, Freezing Point, is too selfish and ambitious. He dreams of becoming the fourth power besides the three guilds, so he betrayed us and even killed his own brother, Lu Buyi.”
“Really? How shameless…”
He Yi faced toward Waste and Burn frigidly and raised her sword into the air. “What has Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls done to make you betray our bond, you good-for-nothings? Pooh!”
High Fighting Spirits agreed loudly, “Yeah! You think you betrayers can steal Dark Moon City from us? Dream on!”
I looked to the distance. Rose Thorn and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch were already riding in with their men, so our time to act freely was running out very soon. There weren’t nearly enough of us left to organize a defense that could withstand the enemy’s bombardment, but there was one person we had to kill no matter what!
I growled out a series of orders, “Chengfeng, come with me! High Fighting Spirits and Xu Yang, kill Freezing Point while we cover for you! We won’t be able to face Lu Buyi if that traitor survives!”
“Hehe, no problem!” High Fighting Spirits grinned. “This was exactly what I wanted! That bastard, Freezing Point, is so shameless that he would kill his own brother! I’ve been thinking of killing him since a while ago!”
……
“Lu Chen, I’ll take the right, so you take the left!” Li Chengfeng shouted.
“Okay!”
I immediately launched an attack on the enemy’s wing. Right now the territory hall was in danger of being assaulted by at least 500 Greedy Wolf Cavalrymen, and there was no way I could keep their attention all by myself. That was why I needed Li Chengfeng to play ball with me. If we gave the Greedy Wolf Cavalry the chance to launch a cavalry charge, the hundreds of defenders protecting the territory hall would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
I activated Charge and dashed into a group of riders like a lightning bolt. A quick Thousand Ice Slash and War Crush later, I killed a dozen or so players and grievously wounded almost a hundred immediately. Compact AoE attacks were always fucking awesome. My attack was so quick that the Greedy Wolf Cavalry were caught completely off-guard. Before they could react, the Cyan Netherworld Sword flew out of my hand and cut a swathe through the sea of bodies.
On the other side, Li Chengfeng also rushed toward the enemy and activated Whirlwind Slash. He plowed through the enemy like a hurricane and used skills like Reverse Scale Slash and Dragonbone Flurry when the timing was right. Behind him, Moon Dew and our priests were healing him and keeping him alive. They were undoubtedly our best support right now.
Angered by our counterattack, Emperor’s Equal ordered loudly, “Greedy Wolf Cavalry column one, all one thousand of you will surround Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Legendary Brave! Mages and archers, kill them with Shock Arrows and Galaxy Storms! I refuse to believe that two warriors are enough to defy reality!”
Bang bang bang...
A ton of Shock Arrows immediately hit my Crimson Rock Dragon Armor. There was nothing I could do about this though. All I could do now was pray that my stats were OP enough to avoid getting stunned. Not even god could save me if the enemy managed to chain-stun me!
Li Chengfeng wasn’t faring any better than me either. The Galaxy Storms ate through his HP like it was nothing. If he didn’t happen to be close to Moon Dew and our priests, he would’ve been killed already.
While we were buying time, our actual kill squad was on the move. With High Fighting Spirits and Xu Yang by her side, Chaos Moon rushed toward the Waste and Burn traitors. Although the enemy was almost two thousand strong, our generals rammed into them without any fear or hesitation!
“Die, you fucking traitors!”
Chaos Moon shouted like a man as her Bone Scythe equipment set deflected the enemy’s arrows. She executed Rock Crush, and an entire group of archers and mages collapsed to the ground at once. Chaos Moon’s attack power was too high for these people because her Famous General Skill, Plunder, also increased attack power by 20% at base, which was as good as an Encourage VII. Naturally, it was an incredibly useful Famous General Skill.
“Here I come!”
High Fighting Spirits laughed uproariously as he cut down several Waste and Burn players with his battle axe. Acting as the spearhead of the group, he punched through the enemy’s defense line and unleashed Xiezhi Howl. Countless cyclones joined together to form a devastating hurricane, and all the players around him were torn into shreds. A couple more charges like this later, he arrived directly in front of Freezing Point.
Freezing Point was probably regretting his choice to kill Lu Buyi because his eyes looked red. Glaring at High Fighting Spirits, he shouted angrily, “Fighting Spirits, you fool! How are you this happy to give your life for another person?”
High Fighting Spirits sneered. “If that person is my brother, why not?!”
“Then die, you retard!” Freezing Point abruptly thrust his broadsword forward. Barrier Break flew straight toward High Fighting Spirits’ chest armor.
Instead of dodging, High Fighting Spirits chose to take the blow head-on and retaliate with his own Barrier Break!
