Chapter 1324: Making Money To Pay The Electric Bills

Translator: alyschu

"Warsky Alliance!"

Warsky didn’t panic despite the backstab. He ordered, "Mages, archers, priests, don’t waver and hold your ground! Tamers, release your pets to protect our mages and archers! All riders, activate Blitzkrieg and take out all Gods of Destruction players inside the city! I’ll hold the gates in the meantime!"

Pa!

After he was done giving orders, Warsky abruptly jumped out of the arrowslit, summoned his mount, and landed on the drawbridge with a resounding thump. At the same time, he fired a Cyan Tiger Shatter and knocked back an entire group of Purgatory Mad Dragon players. He declared with an arrogant grin, "Come on then, my grandchildren! The only way you’re getting in is over my corpse!"

……

Energy spun around him as he activated Great Earth Transformation. Countless Purgatory Mad Dragon players rushed him and pierced his chest with Ultimate Strength Break + Barrier Break combos, but he survived. His Defense was pretty high, and the Immortal Blade and the priests on the wall kept him from dying even though his HP had dropped below 25%. Like a rock that split the rapids, he endured the assault of over 20 players at once and stubbornly survived.

Buzz buzz buzz…

A green astral energy surrounded Warsky’s metal armor. It was a special effect of the Immortal Blade, and it was similar to my Battle Astral Wind in the sense that it greatly reduced the amount of incoming damage he received. The true power of the Immortal Blade lay in its ability to restore both HP and Defense.

"Kill him! Kill Warsky!"

Wang Dongliang’s eyes turned bloodshot as he screamed on top of his lungs. "Archers, dismount him with Mountain Stagger Arrows! Mages, hit him with God Devil Break! Warsky must die today, or Purgatory Mad Dragon’s face will be left in the dust!"

Warsky unleashed various skills such as Flowing Light Slash, Molten Fury Slash and more while laughing madly. "A group of mobs think they can kill me? Dream on!"

As arrogant as it sounded, Warsky definitely had the right to say that.

Fireballs, arrows and more struck Warsky’s armor and knocked him back repeatedly. However, every time the 6-second cooldown on his melee combos were up, he would retaliate with Cyan Tiger Shatter, Explosion Slash and more and kill a dozen or so enemies. Somehow, someway, he was holding the entire drawbridge by himself. He really was about to defy the heavens.

Of course, the numerous priests healing him from the walls played a major role in his success.

Profound Puff saw what was going on and pointed. "Archers, stun those priests with your Shock Arrow. All catapults, recalibrate your aim at the priests and kill them all! Let’s see if Warsky can still hold on after all of his healers are dead!"

It worked at the beginning. The archers and the siege weapons were able to wreak havoc against the priests for a time, but Warsky Alliance quickly responded by stationing the Cyanscale Cavalrymen in front of them. The shielders’ only job was to protect the priests at all costs, and the priests’ job was to keep Warsky alive at all costs. They had to, or all their efforts would be for naught.

……

"Do we act now?"

A thousand meters away from the walls, Gui Guzi asked me.

I replied with a smile, "Not yet. There’s still room for them to whittle themselves down. One way or another, Warsky is definitely going to lose the token. It is the City Lord Token of the Gold City after all. Not everyone has the thick skin necessary to keep it, so to speak."

Li Chengfeng chuckled. "Yeah. 170k troops aren’t enough to win this outright, especially since we lost too many Dragonlight Cavalrymen during the earlier battles. We can’t possibly ask our archers and mages to assault an army or charge a battlement without protection."

"Let’s just wait patiently. This is going to end very soon."

"Yeah!"

……

As it turned out, I was wrong. Another 4 hours passed, and the victor still hadn’t been decided. For one, Purgatory Mad Dragon really sucked. Two, every time Warsky’s equipment threatened to fall apart, he would use the equipment repair potions his players had bought to make them as good as new. As a result, the bastard somehow managed to hold the drawbridge for 4 hours straight. Purgatory Mad Dragon’s players looked like they could swallow him alive, but the Immortality Blade was just too OP. They just couldn’t do it no matter what they tried.

Another two hours had passed, and we finally started clearing out the Purgatory Mad Dragon and Warsky Alliance players at the periphery and gathering some equipment. We didn’t hold back because both guilds were our enemies.

It was at this moment Luo River God of the Capital and Moonkiss came to us with around 5000 Purple Lily players. They looked like they had done their best, but Warsky Alliance’s firepower was too much for them to handle. They were ultimately unable to breach the west gate.

"How did it go?" I greeted her with a smile.

Wang Luo shot me a look before replying, "Your smile looks irritating, so don’t. Anyway, why didn’t you come to the west gate and help us? I’m sure you would’ve been able to tear down the gate for us. Goddammit, if only we had even one super-tier cavalry general."

I shrugged. "Sorry. I’m Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. I can’t just join in on another guild’s military operation willy-nilly. Also, I was fighting Dark Mercenaries to the death earlier. Where would I find the time or energy to assault Gold City?"

Moonkiss asked, "Judging at the size of your force, it looks like you’re the ones who’re going to decide the final owner of Gold City. So? Are you going to take Gold City for yourselves, gift it to us allies, or put it on sale?"

I licked my lips before replying, "You should speak with Indigo Collar first. Both Peach Garden and Purple Lily are our allies. I would definitely prefer the two of you over Warsky Alliance to get this city."

"We understand."

Wang Luo smiled. "Very well, I shall speak with Indigo Collar and see how it goes. I’m pretty sure I know how the negotiations will end though, so I’ll just tell you my plans right away. If you can occupy Gold City, Purple Lily will buy it from you. We’ll compensate Peach Garden for all the losses they’ve suffered during this battle."

"Very well!"

……

I looked at Gold City again. I ordered, "We will begin our assault in 60 minutes. Doesn’t matter who has the City Lord Token, the important thing is that it ends up with us!"

My players gave me an affirmative nod.

On a related note, almost all of Gods of Destruction’s players were dead at this point. They had been fighting for several hours after all. Dominating Heaven Blade had been assassinated by Farewell Song, and Dominating Warrior God and Dominating Knight God had been defeated by Warsky. They were foolish to think that they could fight him alone when Warsky had survived the concentrated fire of an entire troop of Purgatory Mad Dragon players.

Finally, Purgatory Mad Dragon was able to breach the gates and engage Warsky Alliance in direct combat. Both sides began losing players at a rapid pace.

An hour later, I finally climbed onto my dragon once more and pointed my sword at Gold City. I ordered with an easy smile on my face, "Charge!"

We charged. Murong Mingyue had brought around 10k Dragonlight Cavalrymen with her, so our frontline was much less flimsy than it had been after the battle with Dark Mercenaries. The 15k Dragonlight Cavalrymen easily punched through Purgatory Mad Dragon’s defense line and made it into the city.

I swung my Chill of the Nine Provinces and fired Burning Blade Slash, killing almost a hundred enemies in an instant. An archer inside the city turned deathly white, "Fuck! Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are finally making their move! Run, people, run! Lu Chen and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have arrived to steal the city!"

A long way away, Warsky gripped the Immortal Blade tightly while ordering, "Lu Chen and Li Chengfeng are here! All units are to assemble around the smithy area and protect the City Lord Token at all costs! Form a square formation to hold off Ancient Sword’s players!"

It didn’t take long for Warsky Alliance’s remaining 50k players to do as he commanded. He was going to be a bit of a slogfest, although the main reason was because we had all run out of Divine Energy Points. Otherwise, it would take a miracle for Warsky to survive Xuanyuan Slash plus Crimson Firmament Slash!

……

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

Strength of Divine Arms-buffed Little Piglet was riding the wind when he caught sight of us and turned green. "Are we still going to continue, guild leader? There’s no way we can stop Lu Chen and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls now that they’ve gotten into the city. We might as well withdraw and leave them to defeat the remnants of Warsky Alliance!"

However, Wang Dongliang rejected the suggestion. "We’re way past the point of no return, man. For now, ignore Ancient Sword and keep tackling Warsky Alliance’s remaining forces. Brother Chao and Iron Pardon are making their way back with 140k troops, and they’ll reach us within an hour or less. When that happens, we’ll outnumber Ancient Sword almost 3 to 1. There’s still a chance!"

"Fine, you’re the boss…"

Little Piglet shrugged, spurred his mount, and charged toward Warsky Alliance’s square formation again. He truly was a man like the wind, charging the enemy alone and without fear.

……

"Kill!"

The battle reached a climax when the melee engaged. The smithy looked like a slaughterhouse where the blood ran freely. Although Warsky Alliance only had 50k players left, every one of them was an elite in their own right. Wang Dongliang’s 200k men were unable to push them back in the slightest.

I cut right into Purgatory Mad Dragon’s flank and wreaked havoc there. Wang Dongliang’s decision to focus on Warsky Alliance suited me just nicely because it meant that I was free to reduce Purgatory Mad Dragon’s effective strength as I pleased. This would also make the battles to come that much easier to deal with.

Two dragon knights flew over my head as I fought on the ground. It was Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi earning contribution points to their hearts’ content.

I didn’t forget to pay attention to the equipment on the ground and pick up all items worth selling. My Luck was extremely high, so anyone I killed had a high chance of dropping some loot. My bagspace kept reducing as the people screamed, and two hours later, over 850 of my 1000 slots were occupied by equipment.

……

"We don’t have much time left. Roaming Dragon is attacking our flank and killing many of our men…" Li Chengfeng reported from the sky.

I nodded. "Chengfeng, Little Gui, go protect our rear. Lian Xin, Beiming, Chaos Moon, Fighting Spirits and I will seize the City Lord Token!"

"Got it. You can’t fail, okay? We all need the money to pay our electric bills!"

"Never worry, brother!"

Wang Luo: "…"
