Chapter 672: Reserved Woman (2/2)
I gripped the Cyan Netherworld Sword and urged my Armored Ice Qilin Horse forward. Beside me, the Phantom Wolf King had entered stealth and crouching on the ground, eyes staring coldly toward the front.
Candlelight Shadow and his allies didn’t say anything. Their enemies were just too numerous.
Warsky, October Rain, Farewell Song and their players were also waiting for something not far away from us. October Rain shot us a glance before smiling. ”Very good, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has broken through Hegemon Palace’s blockade and reached the territory hall. Lu Chen is absolutely determined on conquering this territory, it seems.”
Warsky snorted out loud before saying, ”Just you wait, Ancient Sword… if possible, I want us to take this territory for ourselves. When we enter the territory hall, let’s try and kill as many Famous Generals as possible. This war is being broadcasted live on the fourth channel, so countless people—maybe even the old fellows of the CGL committee—are watching this right now. It’s no exaggeration to say that a single data point can change our guild’s ranking completely!”
October Rain shot Warsky a glance before asking, ”You want to enter the CGL Hall of Fame, don’t you?”
Warsky looked surprised, but he admitted with a smile, ”It’s every gamer’s dream to enter the CGL Hall of Fame, so I’d be a pretentious hypocrite if I replied ‘no’ to that question. Who doesn’t want to enter the Hall of Fame and become a celebrity?”
The corner of October Rain’s lips turned up. ”There’s no need to be hasty. You are the guild leader of Warsky Alliance, and both your skill and your power are improving rapidly. It’s only a matter of time before you enter the CGL Hall of Fame. Also, think of it this way: if even the likes of Laughing At The Heavens can enter the CGL Hall of Fame, why can’t you?”
Laughing At The Heavens’ facial muscles twitched. ”Little Rain, I’m going to be really sad if you insult my life’s biggest achievement again…”
October Rain laughed loudly, but she didn’t say anything else.
……
To our right, a group of players led by a Level 145 warrior suddenly appeared and walked toward us. His armor looked shiny and elite, and he was followed by a couple of high-level archers and mages. It was none other than the guild leader of Peach Garden, Indigo Collar. It had been a very long time since I saw the man.
Indigo Collar stopped some distance away from be and grasped his fist in greeting. ”We meet again, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
I nodded and replied, ”Well met!”
He asked, ”Seeing as Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and The Monarch Descends are interfering with Vanished God City’s business, does this mean that you’re working together with Blazing Hot Lips and Baidicheng?”
I answered honestly, ”Yes, we have allied with Blazing Hot Lips and Baidicheng.”
”That’s an amazing alliance you have there!” Indigo Collar praised. ”Am I also right to assume that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls will support Baidicheng’s ambition to conquer Immortality City with all their might?”
”That’s correct!”
”Hahaha, I thought so!” Indigo Collar laughed loudly. ”I should’ve figured this out sooner. After all, who else has the power to force Candle Dragon back from the eastern walls, and defeat their Viper Dragoons at the eastern plaza? Hmph, there are only a couple of guilds in the entire world who can beat Candle Dragon right now.”
I waved my hand in a humble manner. ”It’s not really worth mentioning. While our cavalry troops managed to defeat the Viper Dragoons, it was a close victory at best. Worse, we lost most of our cavalry, but Candle Dragon still has a lot of reserve forces up their sleeves. They’re just too powerful. It will take time to beat a colossus like Candle Dragon.”
Indigo Collar smiled refreshingly and nodded again. ”That’s right, beating Candle Dragon isn’t something that can be done in a single battle. By the way, can I consider us allies since we share the same enemy?”
I nodded affirmatively. ”Let us slay Candle Dragon together!”
Deep respect rose in Indigo Collar’s eyes as well as he raised his own weapon and declared, ”Let’s!”
Words were unnecessary when heroes spoke frankly with one another.
……
Peach Garden had managed to preserve much of their strength until now. Indigo Collar barked out an order, and almost a 100000 elites launched an assault on the territory hall. More specifically, they were attacking Candle Dragon’s square formation directly. The sound of horse hooves, bow twangs and chants of magic joined together to form a dirge of war.
I unsheathed the Cyan Netherworld Sword and pointed at the left flank of Candle Dragon myself. ”Brothers and sisters, it is time to attack! Our vengeance on Candle Dragon begins now!”
Everyone pulled out their weapons and charged Candle Dragon under my lead!
……
Leading at the front, I scared the shit out of the enemies in front of me with Thousand Ice Slash. Enduring all the arrows and magic blasts flying my way, I commanded the Phantom Wolf King to hit the enemies with Claw of the Storm first and follow up with Purgatory Storm later. The enemy subguildies screamed like little wussies when hit.
Next, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, He Yi, Li Chengfeng, Xu Yang and everyone else caught up and unleashed their own AoE skills. Aurora Thrust, Rock Crush, Purgatory of Ice and Magma, Reverse Scale Slash, Mountain Stagger Slash and more painted a beautiful painting as they erupted across the enemy lines. Behind us, Blazing Hot Lips’ ranged army was also unleashing hell upon the enemies. For several minutes, the first subguild of Candle Dragon couldn’t muster any counterattack under the barrage.
