Chapter 665: Attack Is The Best Form Of Defense (2/2)
……
The Armored Ice Qilin Horse gave a loud neigh as it reared backward and leaped off the city wall at my urging. Holy shit!
Thankfully, the Ice Qilin Horse’s tenacity was very high, so a simple fall wouldn’t hurt it much.
Bang!
The cobblestones cracked as the Ice Qilin Horse landed heavily on the ground. It quickly found a firm footing and I saw that its tenacity hadn’t taken a big hit either. Tenacity was something that regenerated very quickly and it would be back up to full in about two or three minutes. As long as I didn’t suffer a string of critical hits, it would be very hard to dismount me.
He Yi, Gui Guzi, Heaven’s Rain, and Diamond Dust had all leaped off the city walls as well while the other riders had surged down the stone steps. In the blink of an eye, three hundred riders from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls quickly grouped up inside the city. Candlelight Shadow and his men were staring at us with fierce and hungry eyes just a hundred meters away from us.
I raised my arm to block the attack from those arrow towers. Fortunately for us, those arrow towers could only attack pre-established areas. If someone could freely control them and focus on a single target, there wasn’t a single person on our side who could survive the rain of iron arrows for more than two minutes.
I quickly surveyed the battlefield. There were about a thousand Hall of Immortality players bunched up below the city gates. It was the existence of this group of players that had stopped The Monarch Descends from breaching the city gates for an entire hour. If that wasn’t bad enough, they were getting slaughtered by the Candle Dragon players stationed on the walls instead. No matter how good Ling Xueshang was, she was helpless before the prowess of the mighty Candle Dragon.
I pointed my sword toward the city gate and yelled, ”It’s time to seize those gates and link up with our allies from The Monarch Descends! Brothers and sisters of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, charge!”
He Yi, Heaven’s Rain, and Diamond Dust’s laughter tinkled in the air. Meanwhile, Gui Guzi brandished his spear and laughed before he yelled, ”Charge! Show them no mercy!”
Horse hooves thundered through the air. Even though there were only about three hundred of us, we were the elite of the elite. With the four Famous General Skills, Martial God, Knight God, Royal Road, and Knight General, the stats of our group were extraordinarily high. The Cyan Battle Tiger was originally a very high-rank mount in the first place, so we fearlessly shrugged off the attacks of the enemy players around us!
I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse forward as I welcomed the countless fire balls, icicles, and arrows being shot at me. I dove straight into a group of enemy players in the next instant. After that, I quickly glanced at my pet space and realized that my Phantom Wolf King had been killed without me noticing! I summoned it again, causing my little wolf to burst out of the magic circle and let out a savage howl. Its blood-colored fur stood on end as bloody clouds gathered in the sky above it. Purgatory Storm!
”Charge!”
I slaughtered my way through the crowd of enemies, my blade flashing left and right. I cycled through Thousand Ice Slash, Burning Blade Slash, and War Crush as quickly as I could, causing explosions to rip through anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in my path. My insane attack power left a trail of bodies piled up in my wake.
Gui Guzi, Diamond Dust, and Heaven’s Rain were hot on my heels. Gui Guzi’s Aurora Thrust skewered a bunch of players and dropped their health to critical levels.
He Yi flew toward them and sentenced them to death with Purgatory of Ice and Magma. The ground beneath the city gates cracked open as the five blades of icy sword energy tore into the enemy players. A huge amount of damage numbers instantly popped up into the air as Hall of Immortality’s players died without being able to do anything.
……
In the short span of five minutes, we had swept through the enemy formation and cut down enemy players like grass. The entire thousand-man contingent from Hall of Immortality had been wiped out by our fierce attack!
Gui Guzi flew forward and thrust his spear at the lever which held the city gates shut. The thick ropes instantly started moving and the gates swung open in the matter of seconds.
The bulk of the Cyan Tiger Cavalry had been faithfully waiting outside the gates for this precise moment. When it swung open, they instantly flooded in. The disciplined formation of The Monarch Descends was positioned right behind them, and our allies were also prepared to rush in at any moment.
Longbow in hand, Ling Xueshang also ran over. She grinned at us as she said, ”Did Candlelight Shadow voluntarily give up his defense of the city walls? Tsk, that asshole’s plan went off without a hitch on this end though. We were forced to endure the baptism of those arrow towers and it was clear that they were trying to bait us into entering a killzone!”
He Yi quickly surveyed the area before she laughed and said, ”Xueshang, if Candlelight Shadow was really trying to corral you into a killzone, he would’ve stationed troops outside to attack you at the right moment. We had better watch our backs!”
Ling Xueshang giggled. ”Sister He Yi, there’s no need to worry. Hmph, I already saw through Candle Dragon’s plans. Candle Dragon’s main guild and their ten strongest subguilds entered Immortality City while they stationed nearly twenty subguilds outside the city. They had gathered nearly 150000 players to launch a counter-offensive against us. However, I already prepared 100000 players of my own and Sister See The Snow from Baidicheng also sent over many players to guard the eastern city walls. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is the cutting edge of our attack during this war, and we’ll have to rely on you and your men to rip apart Candle Dragon’s defenses.”
He Yi shot me a saccharine-sweet smile. ”Yeah, I’m leaving it all to Lu Chen!”
The muscles on my face spasmed as I rubbed the Armored Ice Qilin Horse’s head and said, ”Yeah, no pressure, huh…”
……
At this moment, Gui Guzi suddenly thrust his spear forward to point at something. He said, ”Boss Broken Halberd, take a look at that! Candle Dragon has finally responded. Fuck, that looks like a really fierce cavalry troop….”
Expressions of shock and dismay appeared on everyone’s face as they looked in the direction of his spear.
