Chapter 1326: I Ain’t No Sugarbaby

"This does look pretty bad…"

A Cyanscale Cavalryman turned back to grin at his guild leader. "Ancient Sword’s mage party is using the Martial God Lian Xing stole with her Big Dipper to boost their Magic Attack by 200%. With less than 10000 Cyanscale Cavalrymen, we’ll be lucky to withstand ten minutes of Galaxy Storms and God Devil Breaks…"

Warsky gripped his fists. "Sh*t! It’s all Purgatory Mad Dragon’s fault! If they hadn’t caught us off-guard with Gods of Destruction, Ancient Sword would have never been able to make it in so easily! Even Peach Garden and Purple Lily are inside already. Hold! We must hold no matter what!"

Farewell Song advised from the darkness, "Let’s find an opportunity to take out Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi. It’ll buy us some more time. You draw their attention from the front, and I’ll assassinate them from the back. We’ll kill whoever’s the closest to us!"

"Got it!"

……

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun was the first one to fuck it up. Unable to control his excitement or his speed, he plunged into the enemy lines and killed a bunch of archers with Rock Smash. However, Warsky immediately locked onto him and stunned him with Charge!

Crack!

The Wanderer class didn’t have high HP to begin with, and he wasn’t just fighting against Warsky. Blade Vortex + Penetrating Bone combo from Farewell Song, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun fell off his mount and died.

"Holy sh*t!"

Li Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Eighteen died in no time at all! Cool your jets, brothers and sisters. Don’t follow his example…"

Before he could finish, a Shock Arrow stunned High Fighting Spirits at the right wing. Warsky immediately zigzagged his way to High Fighting Spirits and hit him in the chest armor with a basic attack + Cyan Tiger Shatter combo, dealing around eight or nine hundred thousand damage in total. However, High Fighting Spirits had over 2.5 million HP, so he wasn’t going down as easily as Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun.

"Over here! God Devil Break!"

Warsky shouted, and High Fighting Spirits’ HP immediately dropped dangerously low to a bunch of God Devil Breaks.

"Sh*t!"

I yelled in a hurry, "Little Gui, use Shennong Tastes Grass now! I’m going to use my offensive active skill instead!"

"Got it!"

Gui Guzi was already activating Heavenly River Transformation as he spoke. He used the 20 Divine Energy Points he had just barely accumulated to heal all allied units within 1000 yards of him by 75% HP. Not only did High Fighting Spirits blow past the 90% mark, all other low-health players within the area returned to almost full health as well! That skill was so good!

I raised the Death side of the Chill of the Nine Provinces to the sky and activated the Xuanyuan Art. The tens of thousands of Warsky Alliance players spread out around the entire smithy instantly lost 50% of their HP in one go. It was more than enough to make Warsky screech.

"Holy fuck!"

Warsky groaned as he looked at his people’s HP. "I can’t believe that shameless bastard used the Xuanyuan Art. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck! There’s no winning this fight. If only we had a Group Healing Scroll…"

A Group Healing Scroll was an item that was introduced in the latest patch. It healed all allied units within 100 yards of the user by 50% HP, and it was the perfect counter to the Xuanyuan Art. However, not a single Group Healing Scroll had been sighted so far, and no one knew how to obtain it. One thing seemed certain, however. It was probably an incredibly rare luxury item that was worth around a couple hundred thousand RMB; not something anyone was going to use willy-nilly at all.

Now that Warsky had fallen below 50% HP, I immediately activated Heavenly River Transformation, raised the Chill of the Nine Provinces and summoned a gigantic golden blade above me. It was of course the SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill Xuanyuan Slash. There was practically no one who didn’t recognize it because videos of me using Xuanyuan Slash were everywhere on the forums, not to mention that it was incredibly gorgeous. Warsky Alliance players should be happy that they were going to taste its wrath with their own bodies.

"This is bad…"

Warsky frowned. "Priests, heal me to full health so I can survive the Xuanyuan Slash!"

While saying this, the equipment on his person abruptly changed to one that was glowing with green light. I had no doubt that it was a set of damage-mitigating equipment meant to deal with exactly this type of situation. Say what you want about Warsky, but he definitely wasn’t a lazy worker.

"Go!"

My arm suddenly turned cold when I dropped the Xuanyuan Slash on top of my enemies. My grin widened. I had triggered the Chill of the Nine Provinces’ septuple damage effect! This was going to be fun to watch!

Standing at the center of a fountain on the edge of the smithy, Warsky laughed at the Xuanyuan Slash that was falling toward his head and said, "The equipment I’m wearing reduces all incoming damage by 55% in total, Lu Chen! SSS Rank or not, there’s no way your Ancient Divine Skill can kill me! Wahahaha!"

BOOM!

The Xuanyuan Slash exploded like a nuclear bomb. I could even see the shockwaves in the air. Warsky was the first to suffer its damage, and the damage number rising above his head could only be described as shocking—

5970006!

……

Pop!

The poor bastard dropped to his knees in confusion and disbelief. His preparation was quite thorough, but when Lady Luck herself called for his death, there was simply no way to refuse it.

A golden token rolled on the ground. Finally, after all those waiting and fighting, the City Lord Token of Gold City had dropped!

"I’ll lay down some crowd control!"

Li Chengfeng swooped down from the sky and killed all the Warsky Alliance players who tried to pick up the City Lord Token with the 7-hit Dragonbone Flurry. Well done!

I tried Charging toward the City Lord Token, but a magic knight knocked me aside and picked it up himself.

"Die!"

I tore the guy’s torso apart with Burning Blade Slash, but he managed to toss the token into a friendly’s hands right before he died.

Buzz!

Ice Spiral Matrix appeared beneath the Warsky Alliance players’ feet before engulfing them all in an explosion of magic. Lian Xin entered the fray with a cool expression on her face, "What are you guys doing? Kill them all, and the token will naturally be ours!"

Gui Guzi killed the next token holder with Death Flurry, but another cavalryman snatched it away in the blink of an eye. The system dinged every time the City Lord Token changed hands, and it had happened at least seven or eight times within the minute. The contest was fierce to say the least.

Pa pa pa…

I cut down every player I came across and made the Phantom Wolf King execute its Purgatory Storm while weaving my way toward the City Lord Token. There was no way I was letting it out of my sight.

Time was getting short. Even Luo River God of the Capital, a mage, was fighting at the frontlines. Gold City was as critical to Warsky Alliance as it was to Purple Lily. After all, whoever controlled Gold City would control the Gold Cavalry, and whoever controlled the Gold Cavalry would play an active role in the future wars.

……

Ding~!

System Announcement: Player "Hundred Battler" has obtained "City Lord Token (Dark Steel City)"!

It was mixed among many other system announcements, but I didn’t miss it. In fact, everyone saw it as well. There was the saying that a camel that starved to death was still bigger than a horse, and that was the case with Candle Dragon. Candle Dragon might have lost a ton of forces, but they were still a tad stronger than Blazing Hot Lips.

"Sh*t! Candle Dragon’s taking Dark Steel City?" Li Chengfeng looked furious.

I nodded. "Yeah. Candlelight Shadow may have failed to occupy Gold City, but that doesn’t mean he can’t occupy Dark Steel City and strengthen his tamers with Life of the Tamer. Anyway, there’s no way we’re making it to Dark Steel City in time, so you should just put it out of your head!"

Li Chengfeng admitted reluctantly, "You’re right."

While this was going on, Gui Guzi was flying close to the ground and killing countless enemies with his Ghostblade Halberd. Before we knew it, he managed to seize the City Lord Token!

Ding~!

System Announcement: Player "Gui Guzi" has obtained the "City Lord Token (Gold City)"!

I laughed. "Well done, Little Gui! Come back to us now!"

Gui Guzi nodded. "Hehe!"

Warsky Alliance’s 20k remnant army could only watch helplessly as Gui Guzi took off with the City Lord Token they had protected for 48 hours straight. I would be out of tears if I was Warsky right now.

"Here, Boss Broken Halberd!"

Gui Guzi tossed the token in my direction.

Pa!

I caught it in midair before turning toward Luo River God of the Capital. "So? Have you decided how you want to deal with this token?"

Luo River God of the Capital smiled sweetly. "Wonderful! It’s as I told you earlier. Tell me your price, and Purple Lily will buy it from you."

I let out a thoughtful and playful hum. "How much should I ask, I wonder? If the number’s too high, you will complain to me. But if the number’s too low, I will complain to you…"

Moonkiss smiled. "Are you trying to make us disdain you?"

Beside us, Indigo Collar said, "By my estimate, Gold City is worth around 500 million RMB. Are you sure you can afford this, Wang Luo?"

Luo River God of the Capital rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me? I made all my money with my own two hands, and I ain’t no sugar baby. Where on earth do you expect me to get 500 million? I can pay you 50 million RMB though. Is that acceptable to you, Lu Chen?"

I thought for a moment before replying, "Fine. A 90% discount is still better than nothing at all!"

Gui Guzi: "…"

Chaos Moon: "…"

……

After we had come to an agreement, I passed the City Lord Token to Luo River God of the Capital’s hands and said, "Keep it safe. I don’t want to hear you losing it to an assassin or something. Beiming, I want you and 4000 Dragonlight Archers to protect her until the duration is over. Make sure to turn Clear As Flame on and off repeatedly so that no assassin can elude your perception!"

Beiming Xue nodded affirmatively.

Meanwhile, the 20k remnant army of Warsky Alliance had given up and stopped fighting completely. One spear-wielding Cyanscale Cavalryman walked up to us and said, "Lu Chen, you’ve gotten the City Lord Token, and Warsky Alliance has given up on retaking it. Can we ask you to let us leave? Killing us all will do neither you nor us any good."

I smiled. "Sure. You will move at least 3 kilometers away from the city right now. Anyone who lingers will be treated as rebels and dealt with accordingly!"

1. Truly, Warsky Alliance has no brains once October Rain is taken out. Even if they somehow took out Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng, they still have Beiming Xue, Lian Xin, Lu Chen, and 100 + k troops—most of which are damage dealers and fully buffed Dragonlight Cavalry—to deal with. Farewell Song’s even telling Warsky to charge, like are you fucking kidding me right now?

2. I’m leaving this as Hundred Battler because it’s possible that the guy has defected from Warsky Alliance to Candle Dragon. Of course, the likelier possibility is the author fucking up his names again.
