Chapter 1413: Thunder Abyss

Chapter 1413: Thunder Abyss

"Grab your shields and Guard! You can do this! If Ancient Sword can hold, so can we!"

On the frontline, Li Le was screaming on top of his lungs and commanding Flower Room’s 30-meter-long defense line. The defense line was almost 30 layers thick, and they were all metal armor class. On the rampart, the mage parties led by Life of Luxury, archers, priests and more were supporting them.

A hundred Thunder Devil Soldiers hit them like a truck.

Zap… zap…

Lightning crackled audibly from the devil soldiers’ blades as they raised their weapons and fired their Bloody Slashes at Flower Room. The mid or high-level players spasmed like they were having a heart attack as their HP plummeted—

472,674!

512,279!

472,980!

……

The Thunder Devil Soldiers outclassed Flower Room’s players in every way, and one skill was all it took to cut them all down like wheat!

Bang bang bang…

Not done yet, the Purgatory cavalrymen trampled over their victims and executed War Stampede, killing off the low-health players at the back as well. It wasn’t like the 30-layer defense line didn’t present any resistance at all, it’s just that the resistance it provided was negligible.

"Fuck! So fast…"

Li Le backpedaled until his hand reached a cloud ladder. Then, he raised his sword and shouted again, "Hold! Hold! Priests, use AoE spells to heal our frontliners! Single-target heals won’t work here!"

Unfortunately, they were still bleeding players like crazy. Flower Room was so busy trying to survive that they couldn’t even find an opening to launch a counterattack.

……

On the other hand, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ Dragonlight Cavalry was keeping a tight formation and raising their shields. The front row of the defense formation was all magic knights, and they were all using the Holy Shield Protection skill. It was capable of blocking both physical and magic attacks.

Bang bang bang…

The Dragonlight Cavalry took between 200k to 300k damage from Bloody Slashes. Adding splash effect to the equation, and that was almost 1.5 million damage in total. However, almost all of our front-row players were buffed by Lu Buyi’s Purple Dragon, so all of their attributes were buffed by 150%. Since they were magic knights, it also meant that they had an average HP of 2 million. Since one Bloody Slash wasn’t enough to one-shot them, it meant that the priests behind them had a short time window to heal them.

"Retaliate!"

High Fighting Spirits erupted at the same time he executed Xiezhi Howl with his brand new Bone Slayer. A short distance away from him, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun also executed Rock Smash with his new Godslayer Slash. The elite Dragonlight Cavalrymen were able to stop the Thunder Devil Soldiers’ first charge, but the same couldn’t be said for the other guilds. In total, nearly 50% of the frontliners were killed as soon as the second wave of Thunder Devil Soldiers arrived and dealt yet another 1.5 million damage. About a hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen whose priests hadn’t been able to heal them in time died instantly.

I looked left and right and noted that Thunder Devil Soldiers were absolutely everywhere. It’s time!

I raised the Chill of the Nine Provinces with the Death side facing toward the sky. Xuanyuan Art, go!

Whoosh!

Columns of red light descended like the rain and dealt a maximum of 50% HP damage to the mobs. My body immediately grew warm with energy, and my experience bar filled up. I didn’t know how many Thunder Devil Soldiers I had killed with the skill, but even those that had been in perfect condition now only had 50% HP left. It made it easier for our players to kill them.

Gui Guzi guffawed and said, "Boss Broken Halberd’s weapon is unrivaled in this world!"

He raised his own Ghostblade Halberd and cast its active skill, Hundred Ghosts Descent. Countless devilish shadows descended from the sky and hit every enemy within 200 yards, damaging or killing a great number of Thunder Devil Soldiers. Obviously, the Ghostblade Halberd was inferior to the Chill of the Nine Provinces in every way, but its special effect was still far beyond your generic Ancient Immortal-grade weapon. It definitely deserved its title as one of the Twelve Divine Armaments.

……

The Thunder Devil Soldiers’ charge was extremely deadly. Heavy armor players kept dying, and even more metal armor players replaced them only to die as well. On the war interface, the player count and mob count of Crossroads Valley map kept dropping like crazy. This battle was as intense as it was desperate.

I was fighting so far ahead of our battle line that I was almost out of the priests’ range. I was doing my best to draw as much damage away from my comrades as possible while rotating through all of my AoE skills like they were free. There was a reason I was trying so hard even though there was virtually no chance anyone could replace me as the MVP. The prize for being the MVP was one of the Twelve Divine Armaments, but I was certain that the higher my contribution points, the better the Divine Armament I would get. For example, if I could gather ten million patch contribution points before the war was over, there was a high chance the system would reward me with one of the three strongest of the Twelve Divine Armaments. That would be worth all the effort I was putting into this war!

The other players must be hating the sound effect of War Stampede right now. Every time the mobs used it, the number of players guarding the fortress would drop drastically. Not even half an hour later, the four of us dragon knights looked behind and were greeted by a heart-stopping sight: Where there were almost 30,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen before, less than five thousand were still holding the line. This casualty rate was absolutely unprecedented for the Dragonlight Cavalry. Barring the four of us, literally everyone fighting at the forefront were dead.

"Fuck, we’ll probably lose everyone in another ten minutes…" Gui Guzi laughed despite the dire situation.

Li Chengfeng also chuckled while gathering some draconic energy between his fingers. "It’s not a big issue. They can just run back over from Sky City…"

I said, "It’s time to tighten our formation. We’re about to run out of Dragonlight Cavalry, and the Northern Alliance, Cyan Earth City and Swallow Ear Canton may ambush us at any moment. The closer we are to the end, the greater the danger becomes!"

"True!"

Gui Guzi checked out the other guilds. "The others are almost dead as well…"

He Yi said, "Flower Room, Gods of Destruction, Pop Culture, Baidicheng and more are either on the brink of total annihilation, or have withdrawn into the fortress to continue their defense there. Purgatory Mad Dragon is the worst of them all. They only have a couple hundred players left…"

I followed her gaze. As she said, Ray of Sunshine was the only frontliner still struggling against the Thunder Devil Soldiers with his 100%-lifesteal Heaven Suppressing Necklace. The Thunder Devil Soldiers he wasn't fighting were already hitting the fortress walls with the Bloody Slashes. The fortress was a hastily built construction, and it was nowhere as tough as a century or even millennium-long city like Sky City or Wind City. Naturally, it wasn’t going to hold for long.

As for Snowy Cathaya, Lin Yixin was running across the blood-stained soil like a lithe spirit and cutting down the Thunder Devil Soldiers with every swing of the blade. Although she was surrounded and attacked from all sides, she chose to retaliate with almost reckless aggression. The sudden change in style was due to her newly acquired equipment, the Dragon Soul Ring. It was a godlike Ghost Armament that regenerated 5% of its beautiful master’s HP per second. This allowed Beauty Lin to fight the seemingly endless horde of Thunder Devil Soldiers head-on instead of defending and dodging.

Everywhere I looked, mobs were hitting the walls with their skills because Warsky Alliance, Candle Dragon, Blazing Hot Lips, Purple Lily, Peach Garden and everyone else were on the brink of collapse as well. Worse, Thunder was still summoning more Thunder Devil Soldiers as if he had an endless supply of them.

……

Buzz!

I raised my Chill of the Nine Provinces and dropped Xuanyuan Slash atop a huge horde of mobs. I didn’t remember how many times I had cast the Ancient Divine Skill, only that I used it practically the moment it was off cooldown. At the same time, I cast Xuanyuan Art and deleted 50% HP from all the mobs within 1000 yards of me. My experience, contribution points and Divine Energy Points immediately skyrocketed. At a glance, I noticed that I had regained 47 Divine Energy Points with one skill. Theoretically speaking, I could do this forever, kakaka…

Beside our formation, Warsky shouted while battling the Thunder Devil Soldiers, "Everyone on the walls, organize the next defense line and get ready to reinforce me in 3 minutes! Warsky Alliance is not so weak that we cannot hold back even the second-to-last wave! Gold Cavalry, you fucking dead yet? If you’re not, show your face and get ready to fight!"

On the wall, hundreds of Gold Cavalrymen answered his call, "We are here, guild leader!"

"Very good! Get the bards to fully buff you and prepare to join the battle! This whole section of the wall will crumble if we allow the mobs to hack at it any longer!"

……

He Yi was also looking at our section of the wall and ordering, "Lian Xin, continue organizing our effective strength and deploying them. We must hold this wave even if we lose everyone. Xu Yang, how long will it take our dead players to return to us?"

Xu Yang took a moment to gather his thoughts, "We had 100k+ Dragonlight Cavalrymen at the beginning, and around 30k of them just logged out of the game to rest. We have about 14k Dragonlight Cavalrymen left, and everyone else is rushing over to aid us now. It’s probably going to take them around… 30? minutes to reach us, but the entrances to the valley are sealed off by the Thunder Devil Soldiers. I highly doubt our players will be able to breach them. They will have to wait until the wave is finished to slip in…"

"Got it…"

After that, He Yi gave our remaining 14k Dragonlight Cavalrymen permission to fully enter the battle. After 20 minutes after desperate fighting later, the Thunder Devil Soldiers in front of us finally began dwindling in numbers. Diminished they might be, the Holy Mages and Dragonlight Archers were still extremely powerful.

……

At Candle Dragon’s formation, Candlelight Shadow was running back and forth his battle line to mow down the Thunder Devil Soldiers with Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow and more. The reason he was able to do so was because his Lantern Girl Legion provided not just him, but the entire Candle Dragon with the strongest suppressive fire available in their arsenal. Throughout the entire March of Chaos event, the Lantern Girls had proven that Candlelight Shadow’s plan to combine Life of the Tamer and them was a resounding success. That Candle Dragon was the Chinese guild with the second-highest total patch contribution points after Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was the proof of that. Some people might think less of them because they still failed to surpass Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, but that would be terribly wrong. We had the world’s greatest cavalry and the powerful Holy Mage Legion, and they didn’t. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and they were hardly going to surpass us immediately.

Warsky was also leading a group of men and clearing out the remaining Thunder Devil Soldiers. The dawn of victory was finally upon us.

"Hahaha! We stopped them, right? This counts as a win, right?" Laughing At The Heavens laughed heartily.

October Rain rolled her eyes from atop the walls. "Cool your jets. We still have one more wave to defend."

Laughing At The Heavens said, "A pyrrhic victory is still a victory, right?"

Warsky frowned. "Why are you talking like some CCTV reporter? Pyrrhic victory my ass! There is only victory or nothing at all!!"

……

Suddenly, the galloping Gold Cavalrymen felt like they couldn’t breathe. The next moment, a huge thunder cloud appeared above them!

BOOM!

Laughing At The Heavens and nearly a hundred Gold Cavalrymen were turned into dust instantly. A gigantic pit that looked like the abyss appeared where they were struck, and lightning crackled at the bottom of it. [1]

From far away, with his palm raised and the Blade of Thunder propped against his shoulder, Thunder shot them a malicious grin and said, "How does Thunder Abyss taste, lowly human adventurers?"
