Chapter 659: We’ll Meet Again On The Battlefield (1/2)
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch smirked and said, ”That’s right! It is impossible for us to defend Immortality City because we are greatly outnumbered. So, I invited Candle Dragon to help us. Warsky Alliance will be done once Candlelight Shadow, God’s Dance, and Blue Sky Scar arrive. Why do you think Warsky Alliance was able to assault the northern wall with such ease?”
Rose Thorn giggled and replied, ”Oh, looks like Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch has such great foresight…”
”Hahaha! That goes without saying! No one is…”
”...infallible after all?”
”Fuck you!”
……
While the three guild leaders were busy chatting away, three hundred Ghost Riders plummeted down the city walls. As they landed, half of their mounts’ tenacity bars were shaved off and they lost a third of their health. Unfortunately, the Ghost Riders landed among a group of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players and were instantly hacked into pieces. It was clear that many Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players were starting to get frustrated for not being able to scale the cloud ladders successfully.
However, the three hundred Ghost Riders had also delayed our attack plans. Many players who were halfway up the cloud ladders were actually knocked off by the falling Ghost Riders. They could only grit their teeth and take their anger out on those Ghost Riders before scaling the cloud ladders once again.
The rattling of chains could be heard as the eastern city gates started to open at this moment. Once the gates were fully opened, more than 10000 Ghost Riders began to charge out of the city! Dammit, there were so many of them! Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch decided to sacrifice his trump card just to stall us for ten minutes!
I summoned my Armored Ice Qilin Horse, flipped myself onto it and yelled out, ”Brothers and sisters, get on your mounts! Cyan Tiger Cavalry, come with me! Those of the Warrior class, stay here and continue to raid the city with Blazing Hot Lips, The Monarch Descends, and Baidicheng!”
”Yessir!”
It was clear that I had great influence over the members of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Not a single person defied my command as 5000 Cyan Tiger Riders swiftly gathered. He Yi too joined the platoon and activated Royal Road as she started to form a hundred-man party.
Following suit, many other parties were formed and Famous General Skills of all sorts such as Martial God, Royal Road, Knight God, Knight General, and Flying General were soon activated. The Ghost Riders of Hall of Immortality were going to have a hard time dealing with us!
”Attack!”
Gui Guzi’s eyes lit up as he ordered the cavalry to activate Charge. The Ghost Riders had little time to prepare which resulted in a huge disparity between our strengths. As the Cyan Tiger Cavalry and Ghost Riders clashed with each other, the Cyan Tiger Cavalry managed to maintain their battle formation while the Ghost Riders were brutally slaughtered. The Cyan Tiger Cavalry looked like a sharp knife cutting through butter as they charged their way into the group of Ghost Riders, hacking at anyone standing in their way. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand Ghost Riders had already collapsed.
After killing an opponent, a Cyan Tiger Cavalryman would instantly turn to another opponent and activate another Charge!
After five rounds of charges, the Cyan Tiger Cavalry managed to eliminate half of their enemy with minimal losses!
At this moment, I looked to the distance and saw Ling Xueshang leading a large group of The Monarch Descends players. Her Unyielding could increase a player’s Attack by 100% and HP regeneration by 200%, making it an extremely powerful skill! They charged in from the side and swiftly took control over the battlefield, even going so far as to cut off any retreat routes for the Ghost Riders.
”Xueshang, I’ll leave this place to you!”
”Alright!” Ling Xueshang nodded her head and shouted enthusiastically, ”Keep up the fight! While you guys attack the city walls, I’ll go prepare the cannons to bust the city gates wide open!”
”Alright, let’s do this!”
……
I signaled for the Cyan Tiger Cavalry to retreat back to the city walls and by the time we regrouped with the main force, half an hour had passed. Meanwhile, battle continued to wage intensely at the eastern walls. Whenever Beiming Xue and her party launched an attack at the enemies, they would counterattack and aggressively hurl our melee fighters off the city walls.
All the elite fighters from the three guilds congregated at this part of the city wall. The enemy had deployed most of their troops to counterattack and focus their firepower on us instead of Warsky Alliance. It was impossible for us to scale the cloud ladders!
Gui Guzi gripped his spear and was about to climb up the ladder, but stopped when he heard He Yi call out, ”Little Gui, wait a moment!”
”What’s the matter, Eve?” Gui Guzi asked.
He Yi glanced at another portion of the city walls with a serene gaze and said, ”The situation’s changed. We’re not dealing with Hall of Immortality alone anymore.”
”Oh?”
Gui Guzi and other players at the foot of the walls held up their shields to block incoming arrows and magic attacks as they turned their heads to look in the direction He Yi was looking at.
She was absolutely right. A line of players emitting an aura of confidence could be seen marching in an orderly fashion on top of the city walls. The level of each and every one of them was shockingly high and they all wore the same emblem on their shoulders. Their leader was a Level 149 warrior dressed in a magnificent armor. There was only one Level 149 warrior in the entire China server, and that was Candlelight Shadow!
He was not alone. Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, God’s Dance, Transient Smoke and Clouds, and other elite players were following close behind him. Fuck! They’ve finally made their entrance!
Candlelight Shadow took a glance at our battle formation before smirking proudly and said, ”Hmph, even though Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have made a name for themselves in Sky City, you think too highly of yourselves! How dare you extend your clutches into Vanished God City! Do you think that this is your territory?”
He Yi clutched her sword and calmly replied, ”The pot calling the kettle black, are we? Candle Dragon is here at the Vanished God City too after all. Do you really think that Candle Dragon is still the number one guild? Do you really think you can cover the heavens with one hand?”
Candlelight Shadow glared at He Yi icily and said, ”Just you wait and see!”
After speaking to He Yi, Candlelight Shadow turned to glare at me. His eyes turned red with fury as he looked at my Earthfire Realm insignia. He was clearly annoyed that he had to delay his sixth class promotion for this battle. After all, the sixth class promotion’s Earthfire Realm was extremely important to him. Candlelight Shadow had always harbored a grudge against me because of my Famous General Skill. Now that the Divine General Skill patch was finally out, he could only rely on that to recover some lost ground.
