Chapter 659: We’ll Meet Again On The Battlefield (2/2)
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch smiled as he clasped his fists and welcomed Candlelight Shadow, ”Martial God, you’ve finally reached Immortality City!”
Candlelight Shadow smiled and replied, ”My apologies for taking this long to arrive.”
Rose Thorn asked, ”Candle Dragon entered from the western gate and headed straight for the northern walls to ‘welcome’ Warsky Alliance. What was the battle outcome? Warsky Alliance is rather powerful and they have six Famous Generals with extraordinary stratagems on their side. Candle Dragon is regarded as one of the Top 3 guilds in Sky City and on equal footing with Snowy Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. But even so, I doubt it would be that easy to eliminate Warsky Alliance. You only took thirty minutes after all.”
Even though Candlelight Shadow knew that Rose Thorn was sounding him out, he laughed and replied, ”It was alright. Warsky Alliance isn’t as powerful as you think they are. Don’t forget, Candle Dragon has three Famous Generals, Golden Age Hero, Song of Pig, and Blood Slash. All of them have Soul of the Foot which raises the Attack and Defense of foot soldiers, making it an excellent stratagem when defending a city. Haha! Why should we fear Warsky Alliance at all?”
Rose Thorn smiled and asked, ”So what was the battle outcome exactly?”
Candlelight Shadow smirked and said, ”Warsky, October Rain, and Lin Bing Dou Zhe were forced to retreat, while Farewell Song was forced to teleport back to Sky City. Their Famous General archer, Nongfu Spring, was killed by Blue Sky Scar while Hundred Battler was killed by Tempest Shadow. Haha, October Rain was also struck with my Ghost God Prophecy. She will be dead in less than three minutes!”
Tempest Shadow who stood beside Candlelight Shadow laughed and chimed in, ”How could Warsky Alliance withstand our attacks when less than a thousand of them managed to scale the wall? Warsky left with his tail between his legs while the rest of the guild were left outside the northern walls, unable to decide if they should attack or retreat. They simply looked like pitiful lost puppies. And their pretty little military advisor, October Rain should be dead anytime now.”
Transient Smoke and Clouds laughed heartily and said, ”Hmph, it won’t do if you have all brains and no brawns! Old Blue, it’s all your fault! I wanted to kill the Famous General archer first!”
Blue Sky Scar laughed in reply and said, ”You should have told me earlier! If you had, I would’ve let you have your way!”
……
The bunch of Candle Dragon players were chatting amongst themselves in such a relaxed manner, it was almost as if they were not in the midst of a battle. However, we could not help but notice that God’s Dance had led a group of players and placed them along the top of the city walls. They were all elite archers and mages of above Level 140! It would be even harder now for us to scale the walls and enter the city.
At this moment, two warriors, a magic knight, and an archer started to push their way through the crowd at the foot of the city wall with ashened faces. They were the core members of Warsky Alliance—Warsky, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Laughing At The Heavens, and October Rain!
Warsky gripped his sword in his hand as he frantically staggered through the crowd of players and made a beeline for me. Panting, he spoke in a low voice, ”Lu Chen, you have to save October Rain no matter what…”
”What’s wrong?” I frowned.
Before Warsky could reply, October Rain pointed at the Ghost God Prophecy symbol above her head. ”I only have forty seconds to live. I’m hoping that Beauty Mingyue will be able to save me with her Bright Mirror. I will be eternally grateful for your help and won’t forget this life debt…”
”OMG…” Murong Mingyue muttered in shock as she glanced at He Yi and I, silently asking for our opinions.
I glanced at He Yi and understood her wishes when I saw her nod her head.
I turned to October Rain and said, ”Alright then, hurry!”
Murong Mingyue instantly added October Rain into her party and activated her Famous General Skill, Bright Mirror!
Swhoosh!
A pale blue energy rippled under Murong Mingyue’s feet before washing over October Rain, baptizing her. As the energy enveloped October Rain, the Ghost God Prophecy symbol above her head vanished instantly!
……
”Shot!”
Tempest Shadow gripped his pike tightly and stared at us with eyes wide open. ”God dammit! Boss, your Ghost God Prophecy got washed away by that pretty priest! It’s really gone!”
Candlelight Shadow’s eye twitched in annoyance and said, ”I knew this would happen! Prepare to defend the city! We must not let a single one of them reach the top of the walls!”
”Yessir!”
Every Candle Dragon player pulled their swords out of their sheaths and prepared for battle.
……
October Rain left the party and exclaimed gratefully, ”Thank you for not holding a grudge against me and saving my life. I will be eternally grateful for this.”
I laughed and replied, ”You don’t have to thank us. I will be very thankful as long as you don’t try to stab us in the back in future.”
October Rain giggled and said, ”Alright, we will go back and attack the northern walls. We’ll leave Candle Dragon to you guys. And then…”
”If you guys dare enter the city first, we’ll show you no mercy!” High Fighting Spirits growled mercilessly.
October Rain laughed heartily and replied, ”Well then… We’ll meet again on the battlefield!”

1. TL note: 智者千虑,必有一失 is a whole idiom that Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch only said halfway. So Rose Thorn finished the idiom for him.
