Chapter 1561: Clobbering An Army Together

Chapter 1561: Clobbering An Army Together

Song of Cloud and Water stared at me with pitiful eyes. "Why do you look unhappy, Lu Chen? Don’t you want us to join you?"

I hurriedly shook my head. "N-no! In fact, I’ve wanted this to happen for a long time. It’s just that High Fighting Spirits and my brothers just died, so it doesn’t feel right to celebrate like it’s New Year’s before half an hour has even passed, you get what I mean?"

Li Chengfeng laughed while rubbing his palms together. "High Fighting Spirits said that he’s going out for a hotpot with a couple of dead brothers to fill his empty tummy, so I dare say that the mourning period has already passed. Feel free to celebrate anytime you want to."

I smiled. "Good!"

I then looked at Song of Cloud and Water and said, "Since we’re one big family now, can I request Soul Battle Robes to obey my orders for the duration of this Nation War?"

Song of Cloud and Water nodded. "Your order is our highest order!"

I looked at Song of Ice and Fire, God Bone and Ringwraith. They were the true backbone of the guild after all.

Song of Ice and Fire rubbed his nose and smiled. "Whatever the miss decides, I obey!"

God Bone climbed onto his mount and said, "What else is there to say? We are brothers from now on, Lu Chen. Just give us the word, and we will die for you."

The wisest of them all, Ringwraith let out a chuckle and said, "I suppose that this was inevitable. Big miss has wanted to be a stepsister for a long time now. As you can see though, I’m just a fragile mage. Do assign a couple of Dragonlight Cavalrymen to protect me…"

I nodded smilingly. "Sure. We’re all good, then."

……

Very soon, Soul Battle Robes changed their guild emblem to Ancient Sword and became our second independent subguild next to Bloody Mercenaries.

As the scene unfolded before Warsky Alliance, Warsky rubbed his nose and lamented, "To think that Lu Chen would accomplish what I failed to accomplish[1]. Is this fate?"

I shot him a glare. "Cut the bullcrap and get ready to march to Swallow Ear Canton. Let’s pull out this thorn in our side in 2 hours!"

"Mn!"

We all climbed onto our mounts and sped toward Swallow Ear Canton.

I flew at a low altitude and kept pace with Chaos Moon, Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust and more so that I could protect them immediately if necessary. High Fighting Spirits’ death proved that our first-rate players were still a ways away from becoming true world-class players. In fact, they couldn’t even go up against Red Maple right now. That was why they needed protection until the day they could spread their wings.

Chaos Moon turned toward me and asked, "Our two parties don’t even amount to 8,000 players. Should we mobilize 10,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen from Fortress of the Iron Halberd to help us?"

I thought for a moment before answering, "Sure. Bring in the elites only. Though, Xu Yang will have to stay behind to direct the others to protect the fortress!"

"Mn!"

"Oh right, how is Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun doing?"

Chaos Moon smiled. "Very well. As it turned out, the ghost ships the Northern Alliance used to transport their troops had limited range. They landed not too long after they flew over Dragonbone Mountain Range and were taken out by You and Yun and his men one after another. In fact, he and his men are have already returned to Fortress of the Iron Halberd."

"That’s good to hear."

It felt like a heavy rock was lifted from my chest. Though, my true relief really came from the fact that the last of the major players—Hero Alliance, Throne of the Wild and God Breaker—had finally shown themselves. Now that I had the full picture and knew where everyone was, I could finally strategize properly.

It was at this moment Li Chengfeng descended from the sky and asked me, "What are we going to do with Hero Alliance?"

I answered, "It’s simple. They hid until now because they wanted to annihilate Soul Battle Robes and Warsky Alliance in one go, but we managed to interfere in time and prevent them from fully accomplishing their objective. In my opinion, they really only have two options now. One, they attack Fortress of the Iron Halberd and follow the same attack route they used during the first Nation War. Two, they attack Sky Ridge Fortress and march onward to Sky City. After all, the King of Cities is the real thorn in their side."

Li Chengfeng asked, "Should I inform Zhang Chun to dispatch a couple of guilds to Sky Ridge Fortress now?"

"Mn!"

I nodded. "There’s no way they can hold it for long, but some delay is better than no delay at all!"

"Yeah!"

……

We arrived at Swallow Ear Canton 30 minutes later. From a distance, we saw rising smoke, a sea of red names, and at least tens of millions of Cyan Earth City players standing in our way. Cyan Beast was standing among the square formations as well. They were the true reason the Chinese force was still unable to conquer Swallow Ear Canton until now. The goddamned Indians had invested at least 20 million troops to stop us!

Meanwhile, Snowy Cathaya, Candle Dragon, Purple Lily and almost 20 million Chinese guilds were still sieging the city from every direction. The defenders were repelling them, and the attackers were hitting them from the outside. They couldn’t be feeling well considering the circumstances. Still, if they could conquer Swallow Ear Canton in time, then the situation would immediately favor the China server.

Gui Guzi gasped when he saw just how many enemies were surrounding our forces. "Heavens, just how many players has Cyan Earth City mobilized? They’re throwing literally everything they have against us…"

Warsky said darkly, "We’re 600k elites and 90k+ Gold Cavalrymen strong after the escape from Pharaoh Valley. Adding the dozen or so subguilds coming to reinforce us from White Rose Fortress, Warsky Alliance still has a total of 1.5 million players. Do we launch a frontal assault now?"

I shook my head. "Stay cool, Warsky. Let’s tally our forces first before we decide anything. Ice and Fire, how many players and Iron Cutter Cavalrymen does Soul Battle Robes guild still have?"

"We still have 500k+ players and 60k+ Iron Cutter Cavalrymen. We also have a reserve of 400k players near the Impassable Great Wall, so our total army size is about a million. How are we going to fight this, guild leader?"

I thought for a moment before answering, "Let’s stand by for a bit and wait until our total troop count has reached 5 million. I also need some time to rally Protective Umbrella to our cause. I didn’t want to involve Protective Umbrella because its members are outer-land foreigners with no stakes in this war, but it doesn’t look like we have a choice right now. Warsky, Ice and Fire, do rally whatever troops you can in the meantime. Once we’ve gathered 5 million troops, we’ll attack the encirclement and help our allies to destroy Cyan Earth City’s 10 million troops together."

"Okay!"

After that, I brought up the communicator and made a call request to Hickey—

"Hi, boss, I miss you so much~" Hickey’s Chinese was growing better and better each day.

I said, "Do you know what’s going on with the Nation War, Hickey?"

"Yep. Are you finally going to use us?"

"Yeah!" I nodded strongly before continuing, "I want you and Warscar to rally your main forces and come to me through White Rose Fortress as soon as possible. Speaking of which, how many players can you rally right now?"

Hickey chuckled. "Around 700k or so. It’s because everyone’s been waiting for you to summon us, and we’ve been accepting plenty of stowaway players from the Chaotic 27[2], Greedy Wolf City and more… Hehe, you don’t blame us for expanding our forces without going through you first, do you?"

I chuckled myself. "Of course not! I would give you a kiss right now if I could! Rally them all and join me at the forest outside Swallow Ear Canton as soon as you can. How long do you need?"

"An hour."

"Got it. Be quick!"

"Yeah!"

……

We waited in silence. As it turned out, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ 10k Dragonlight Cavalrymen from Fortress of the Iron Halberd were the fastest to arrive. They joined He Yi and Lu Buyi’s party and grew our army to around 2 million. Still, we waited because I had given the order to rest until we were 5 million strong. Some small to middle-sized Cyan Earth City guilds couldn’t stand the loneliness and provoked us, but of course our Dragonlight Cavalry, Iron Cutter Cavalry and Gold Cavalry turned them all into contribution points.

An hour later, a shining party of Zephyr Cavalrymen appeared from the plains. They were also escorting a huge group of priests, mages, archers, bards and more. Protective Umbrella’s 700k army had finally arrived!

Warscar and Hickey were the first to reach us and dismount. They greeted us smilingly, "How have you been, boss, guild leader?"

I nodded. "We’re doing very well, thank you. Tell everyone to take a 10-minute break. We’re going to set up the attack formation and attack the Indians’ square formations soon!"

"Okay!"

……

Our ears were filled with the cries of our mounts. This time, I partied 8,000 Zephyr Cavalrymen so they could benefit from my Martial God. Chaos Moon, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust and more Famous Generals also made their own 8,000-man parties to greatly increase our overall combat capabilities. At full stretch, our coalition of armies was at least a dozen kilometers long. It looked impressive to say the least. When Warsky Alliance and Soul Battle Robes’ formations were ready as well, it looked as if we were a forest of flesh and armor. No, we are one. This is gonna be good!

I looked at Cyan Earth City’s army and smiled. "Alright, the enemy’s 10 million elites are right in front of us. It’s time the army we clobbered together faced them in battle!"

I then raised my sword and shouted, "Chinese force, attack! Crush them all into paste!"

The ground shook, and the air instantly became covered in dust clouds. The vanguard consisted of over 17k Dragonlight Cavalrymen, and they were empowered by He Yi and Lu Buyi’s stratagems no less. One stratagem increased all stats by 150%, while the other not only buffed them but also reduced enemies stats by 30%. This was going to be a slaughter.

……

Cyan Earth City’s forces reacted to our movement by moving the shield formation at the front to the side and revealing an entire row of brand new ballistae! They were definitely prepared for our charge!

"Don’t fear! Continue onward and take out those siege weapons!" I declared with a laugh. Most of the frontliners behind me had been buffed by bards and tacticians, so the ballistae definitely wouldn’t be as deadly as they had been at Pharaoh Valley.

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

Cold wind blew across the land again and again. Carried within them was a thick volley of steel arrows.

As a member of the vanguard, I immediately ripped the space in front of me with my Domain powers. All the arrows who hit it had their trajectories distorted and redirected toward the ground. Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi had already flown into the middle of the enemy and were tearing the ballistae into pieces.

I waved my sword and cast the Xuanyuan Art, causing tens of thousands of enemies to lose 70% of their HP immediately. They were stunned speechless as a matter of course.

"Attack!"

The Zephyr Cavalrymen led by Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust hit the enemy’s shield formation like a battering ram and dyed the barren soil red immediately. Countless players carrying red-starred flags above their heads battered against the dam that was Cyan Earth City’s 10 million troops like a tidal wave. Sword skills and magic clashed, mingling to the point one couldn’t be distinguished from the other.

This was a battle only the bravest would emerge victorious from!
