Chapter 652: Overwhelming Victory (2/2)
Chaos Moon shouted out a warning, ”Watch out, Sister He Yi! They’re gunning for you!”
”Oh?”
He Yi glanced at her enemies and smiled beautifully. First, she moved her mount exactly one step backward and dodged all the Charges coming her way. Her movement was perfectly natural. Next, she thrust the Blade of the Earthen Soul in front of her and used her new skill, Purgatory of Ice and Magma!
Crack crack crack...
Five streaks of frozen sword energy surged toward the enemy and hit in a cone-shaped area of effect. Then, lava burst into the open as the ground split in half. The visual effects of the skill were gorgeous enough, but the skill range and the damage it dealt were even more pleasing to watch—
11092!
10239!
12002!
……
Every hit dealt at least 10k damage, and the Blade of the Earthen Soul had a splash effect. Therefore, every player that was hit by the skill took over 80k damage in one go. Naturally, no one in Flower Room was tanky enough to survive that much damage, and everyone who was caught by the skill dropped dead in front of a smiling He Yi.
”The enemy’s too strong. Run!”
A large group of Flower Room players backed away from He Yi just like that, surprising her. She didn’t think that a single Purgatory of Ice and Magma was all it took to burst their courage. Aren’t they a bit too cowardly?
But the real MVPs of this battle were the 400 Cyan Battle Tiger Cavalrymen in my party. Buffed by Martial God, they were so powerful that Flower Room’s defense line practically crumbled at the mere touch of our weapons. The Cyan Battle Tiger Cavalrymen themselves had pretty high attack power, but a 200% attack buff on them made them an absolute menace. Suppose a certain Attack is hitting a certain Defense. With tripled the Attack, the difference in damage against the same Defense would be huge, and not as simple as three times higher. That would be the case in any game. For example, if a Cyan Battle Tiger Cavalryman's Attack was 3k, and the enemy's Defense was 2k. They would already be doing considerable damage. Now that Martial God boosted their Attack by 200%, the amount of damage they could dish out would be many times higher, rendering their Defense stat nearly void.
This was not to mention that we also had Knight God, two Knight Generals, Bow God, Royal Road, Blitz, and Plunder. To make a comparison, it was like an egg smashed against a stone or wheat standing in a way of a scythe. There was literally nothing Flower Room could do but die in a fair fight.
……
”Shit, we can’t hold any longer! We must retreat, retreat!” As Flower Room’s morale hit rock bottom, their players started disobeying their superiors’ orders and scattering like rabbits. One Cyan Battle Wolf party who was crushed by a Cyan Battle Tiger Cavalry tried to run toward the city and take the roundabout way to escape.
Unfortunately for them, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch raised one hand and shouted, ”Archers, Far Shot at Flower Room! Show these clowns what we’re capable of!”
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!
A hail of arrows fell from the sky. The Cyan Battle Wolf Cavalry had great speed and Attack, but their Defense was so-so at best. Few were able to survive the arrow rain that the elite archers of Hall of Immortality were shooting their way. A couple of tanky players managed to survive long enough to enter the area beneath the walls, but then the arrow towers came alive and fired their thick steel arrows!
Thud thud!
Blood scattered everywhere as nearly a hundred Cyan Battle Wolf Cavalrymen were turned into corpses beneath the city. Not a single one of them had survived the assault. Together, the three guilds sported enough firepower to give even us a hard time, to say nothing of the likes of Flower Room.
The battle lasted for almost an hour, and by the end of the battle, all of Flower Room’s players had been killed. Even Li Le had half his head hacked off by a bloodthirsty High Fighting Spirits. Two of the three heads of Ego workshop were killed by Chaos Moon, and the third was stabbed to death by Li Chengfeng.
The crushing defeat of Flower Room was set in stone at this point. After Li Le died and respawned at the city, he seemed to have given the order to retreat. Unfortunately, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls strongly disagreed with his decision and stopped them from teleporting away. It wasn’t long before we annihilated all twenty thousand or so Flower Room players, making their crushing defeat even worse than Mad Dragon’s.
……
Some time later, I turned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse away from the battlefield and came to a stop at the edge of a short hill near the city walls. He Yi, Beiming Xue, Li Chengfeng, and Xu Yang were with me as well.
”Do we have a battle report yet? We didn’t suffer too many losses, did we?” He Yi was concerned that we might have suffered more battle losses than was intended.
Xu Yang gave her an affirmative nod before reporting, ”Mn, we managed to annihilate all 20k of Flower Room’s army and lose only 6000 players or so. The good news is that most of the casualties belong to our subguilds. The main guild’s cavalry is just too good, hehe. Those idiots were so weak that they couldn’t even kill our cavalry…”
He Yi smiled. ”Very good. Lu Chen may have acted rashly, but our morale is sky-high thanks to this battle. It’s time to prepare for the siege!”
”Mn!”
……
Suddenly, a new army with huge, swaying banners appeared from the distant mountains. It was none other than the former second strongest guild of the Guild Ranking led by Dominating Heaven Blade, Gods of Destruction!
