Chapter 670: Porcupine Riders (2/2)
”Oh, oh. So it was Crimson Fire…”
A smile crept up on He Yi’s face as she nodded her head and said, ”Yeah, they’re riding Level 120 Purple Gold Rank rare mounts, just a little bit worse than our Cyan Battle Tigers. Furthermore, their cavalry troop is two times bigger than ours, so our cavalry troops are about equal in terms of raw strength. They just don’t have the Famous General Skills we do. This cavalry troop has allowed Baidicheng to quietly become one of the Top 4 guilds in Vanished God City.”
My mouth dropped open in shock. To think that our allies were so OP!
……
Their metal hooves thundered against the ground as Beauty See The Snow led them forward. She activated Encourage VII as they charged into battle. The sound of their hooves was so loud that it even caused the ground to shake and it looked as if the distant territory hall was shuddering in response to this violent clash between guilds.
This was the truth of the matter, the battle in Immortality City was a watershed moment for the super guilds in China. This battle would play a huge part in how we were ranked in the upcoming Guild Ranking. This was due to the fact that it was a recent battle that most of the super guilds had participated in, so everyone’s strength would be laid bare in this moment.
The cavalry troops from both sides fiercely crashed into one another! Even though Hegemon Palace’s porcupine riders looked ridiculous, they were extremely fierce in battle. In fact, they didn’t seem any less powerful than the Crimson Fire Cavalry. Come See The Snow’s spear danced in the air as she hunted down one porcupine after the other, the steel-shod hooves of the Crimson Fire Cavalry turning the bodies into minced meat as they thundered in behind her.
Even though Little Piglet wasn’t a rider, he was able to stand toe to toe with them thanks to his Vajra. The 200% boost to his Defense allowed him to stand firm amid the onrushing wave of horsemen. He swung his sword through the air fiercely, batting aside riders as if they were ping-pong balls. Wind started swirling around his feet as a vortex of green energy started whirling in the air around him. After that, he gave a great shout as he slashed his sword out in front of him. A huge tornado shot out of his blade and tore into the Baidicheng players around him.
”Damn, Little Piglet’s become even fiercer…” Gui Guzi said with a dumbfounded look of amazement on his face.
I nodded my head. ”Yeah, when it comes to 1v1 fights, Little Piglet is definitely ranked among the Top 5 players in Sky City. His skills can’t be doubted!”
Xu Yang asked curiously, ”Who’s in your Top 5?”
Li Chengfeng replied, ”Among the players of Sky City, the king of PvP is undoubtedly our boy Lu Chen. Lin Yixin is probably on par with him, but it’s too close to tell. After that, the Top 5 is rounded out by Beiming Xue, Purple Marquis, and Little Piglet. As for me? I’m probably ranked somewhere between sixth to tenth!”
Gui Guzi laughed, ”Our boy Li is really humble. If you’re in sixth place, everyone besides Boss Broken Halberd and the beautiful Lin Yixin would be too ashamed to declare it out loud.”
Xu Yang let out a hearty laugh. ”That’s right. If it’s just in Sky City, the best duelist outside of Lu Chen and Beauty Lin would be you! What the fuck are you trying to be humble about?! Purple Marquis and Little Piglet probably round out the rest of the Top 5…”
He Yi chimed in and said, ”You’re forgetting one very important person…”
”Who?”
”Farewell Song. In terms of 1v1 duels, he actually has a pretty good chance against Lu Chen himself. How could you leave him out of your list?”
”Oh right, but the way that guy fights is way too dirty...”
……
Even though we started chatting, no one had let their guards down. Everyone had their weapons in hand, and we were waiting in the wings of the Cyan Tiger Cavalry. The moment any stragglers from Hegemon Palace appeared, we would immediately rush forward and chop them to pieces. This caused Pillar of the Nation to fume angrily, but there was nothing he could do about it. All of the experts he had brought with him had gone to reinforce Little Piglet, so he didn’t have any strong players left to deal with our Cyan Tiger Cavalry.
It was at this moment that a beautiful voice rang out in the air. The beautiful assassin, Shangguan Wan’er, had appeared beside Wang Dongliang.
Shangguan Wan’er surveyed the battle in front of her, her eyebrows knitting together as she said, ”Boss, we didn’t manage to taunt out Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and we now have to contend with Baidicheng instead. However, Baidicheng isn’t an opponent that will roll over for us either, so it looks like a little hitch has appeared in our plan…”
Pillar of the Nation frowned. ”It’s fine. Little Piglet definitely won’t disappoint me. How could the strongest general of Hegemon Palace lose to mere Baidicheng! Even if that girl, Come See The Snow Tonight, is a CGL Hall of Famer, Little Piglet definitely won’t lose to her!”
Shangguan Wan’er pursed her lips, but she chose not to say anything.
As she swept her eyes across the battlefield once more, a stunned look appeared in Shangguan Wan’er’s eyes. A beautiful figure had appeared around the edges of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ cavalry unit. It was another female assassin, and it was precisely the guild leader of our eighth subguild, Cute Little Naughty.
”Heehee…”
Shangguan Wan’er vanished into the background, daggers in hand. Her laughing voice floated in the air, ”Boss, just stay here. I’m going to test the mettle of Ancient Sword’s best assassin!”
