Chapter 677: Live Together (1/2)
Warsky’s eyes looked like a hawk’s as he said, ”Our battle is already finished, Farewell Song. It was finished the moment Candle Dragon was eliminated from this territory war. Remember, our goal has always been to deal a heavy blow to Candle Dragon, not seize this territory for ourselves. We have completed the objective we set out to do, and even the Martial God lies dead beneath our feet. Therefore, whatever happens next is no longer our concern. It is time to withdraw.”
After that, he raised his sword and laughed heartily. ”Today, we have carved out our fates with our swords and laid bare the strength of Warsky Alliance for the entire world to see! Well done, my brothers and sisters! Now, let us depart!”
The players of Warsky Alliance accepted their guild leader’s praise with nods and smiles. Farewell Song also ceased fighting Li Chengfeng completely and withdrew a dozen or so steps away to the back. Finally, he crushed a return scroll and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In less than five minutes, all of Warsky Alliance’s players had teleported back to the city and withdrawn from the battle as Warsky commanded.
……
Chiang!
Li Chengfeng sheathed his sword as he gazed toward the distance. ”Warsky’s a shrewd one for sure. A wise man naturally knows to look after his own hide, but this one also knows how to give and take with equanimity.”
Chaos Moon giggled. ”Yeah, Warsky Alliance’s entire reason for coming here was to improve their placement in the CGL Guild Ranking, so their decision to avoid clashing against Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Blazing Hot Lips and withdraw after beating Candle Dragon is infinitely wise…”
I nodded. ”It’s for the best of everyone. Anyway, there’s half an hour left in the clock, so let’s get ready to enter the territory hall!”
”Yessir!”
Everyone nodded in unison and started clearing out the remaining enemies outside the territory hall. After the symbol of their guild, Candlelight Shadow had fallen, Candle Dragon took a huge hit to their morale. They were unable to hold back our united assault, and the battle fell into our control completely. Speaking of which, Peach Garden had sounded an early retreat immediately after their guild leader, Indigo Collar, was taken out by Candlelight Shadow. Dominating Heaven Blade of Gods of Destruction was also killed in action after taking a huge amount of Galaxy Storms to the face. Without an oppressive amount of HP and Defense, it was simply impossible to survive concentrated attacks of any sort. The guild leader was taught a harsh lesson today.
I nodded. ”I agree. How do you plan to fight this out? Do you want us to open up a way for you?”
”No, we’ll like to give it a try first!” The guild leader’s eyes were brimming with excitement when she ordered, ”Men, charge the entrance!”
”Yes, ma’am!”
Two Level 144 super magic knights stepped into the open. Together, they brandished their spears and galloped through the pitch black entrance of the territory hall.
Ten seconds passed. Not a peep could be heard from inside.
”How did it go?” He Yi asked.
Come See The Snow Tonight shook her head before replying, ”They both died.”
I said, ”You need to send more men if you want to make it inside!”
”Yeah.” Stranger of Three Lifetimes echoed in agreement. ”Hall of Immortality must have surrounded the entrance with a ton of mages. As long as they concentrate their fire at the entrance, practically anyone who tries to go inside would be destroyed.”
”One more time!”
Come See The Snow Tonight wasn’t willing to give up so easily. She raised her sword and ordered again, ”Let’s form a vanguard of a hundred riders and try again! No way we can’t breach a simple entrance! Once you get inside, spread out so that they can’t just focus all their firepower on one area! And don’t hesitate!”
”Yes, ma’am!”
The players of Baidicheng raised their weapons and formed up once more. This time, a hundred elite knights that were packed like sardines charged through the entrance together. Also, they were followed by several hundred warriors and even more archers and mages. The entire process took less than a minute.
However, three whole minutes passed, and we still couldn’t hear anything from inside.
”How is it?” I asked from above the Armored Ice Qilin Horse.
Come See The Snow Tonight shook her head again. ”We’ve been wiped out again. We underestimated Rose of the Holy Domain and Hall of Immortality’s archers and mages. Our players died almost the instant they got through the entrance. We lost a lot of good equipment this time too… Oooh, what should we do? Do I have to go in myself…”
I smiled. ”You tried. It’s time to leave it to your ally!”
I turned around and turned serious. ”Okay, boys and girls! As you know, that idiot Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch has set up a kill zone inside the entrance, so it’s our job to get inside and tear it to pieces! I’ll go in first with my invincibility skill and kill as many players as I can. Gui Guzi, Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust, Li Chengfeng, and Chaos Moon will follow me afterward. Once you’re inside, spread out in every direction! Finally, Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, Moon Dew, and Moonlight Stone will come inside. No matter the outcome, we’ll live and die together, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
Gui Guzi laughed heartily and raised his spear high. ”Well said! We live and die together!”
”Haha!” Li Chengfeng raised his sword with a chuckle.
He Yi also raised her Blade of the Earthen Soul. Clearly, she had no intentions to be left behind even though I hadn’t given her an order.
It was at this moment Stranger of Three Lifetimes walked forward and offered, ”I want to come too. My Magic Shield’s tougher than most others’!”
I frowned. ”We can’t do that, Third Wheel. You are the guild leader of Blazing Hot Lips. What do we do if you actually die during the charge?”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked caught between vexation and amusement. ”Do you want to die? My nickname is Momo, not Third Wheel!”
