Chapter 743: Vengeance For Our Porcupines

Translator: alyschu

“Hold your ground! Their reinforcements are here!”

A Level 155 magic knight from the Hot Sand City stood at the forefront of the battle line, his giant golden shield in one arm. He glared at us with a stern look before looking away and yelling, “It’s the Dragonlight Cavalry! That's the cavalry that lured our troops into a trap and killed them! Goddammit! Hold your ground! Don’t let them get past us!”

I charged forward and met that magic knight head-on. Noticing my actions, he swiftly lifted his shield high to block my attack!

Bang!

A swirl of indigo energy appeared on the tip of my Cyan Netherworld Sword while an Eight Trigrams formation whirled below the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. I hit the magic knight with Universe Break, my strongest armor penetration skill!

28934!

That magic knight took two steps back under the powerful force of my attack. However, he refused to back down and continued to adopt a defensive position.

I chuckled and swung my sword once again as a golden light enveloped it. That golden light was the prelude to the skill, Crushing Blow. If I destroyed his shield, my attack would deal double damage to him. The magic knight turned pale as he quickly swiftly moved his shield away and sent it back to his inventory.

Little did he know, that move of mine was just a ruse. I cancelled Crushing Blow before I could activate it completely and instead, unleashed Burning Blade Slash. Wails rang out as three burning crescent waves were shot into the group of players before me. Burning Blade Slash was even more powerful than Crushing Blow and it sent that Level 155 magic knight and his mount crashing to the ground. The three consecutive hits from my Burning Blade Slash were truly too OP!

A loud explosion rang out behind me as Chaos Moon unleashed her Rock Crush amid a group of enemies. That explosion was followed by other explosions from High Fighting Spirits’ Xiezhi Howl and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s Rock Smash. Dragonlight Cavalry easily tore through the defense line of the enemy and slaughtered almost a thousand of them. We were truly invincible!

At this moment, Hot and Sour Noodles pointed his sword and growled, “Greedy Wolf Cavalry, charge!”

Ten thousand Greedy Wolves started to howl before charging head on at the weak point of the encirclement we had created. They continued to charge toward the core of the hundred meter thick encirclement, slaughtering their enemies along the way. With the help of the Greedy Wolf Cavalry from the outside, the Dragonlight Cavalry managed to break through the encirclement.

However, our problems were far from over. Under the protection of a small group of riders, the twenty Fire Catapults were launching large pieces of rocks at our camps continuously.

“Attack! Destroy those Fire Catapults!”

At my command, the Dragonlight Cavalry split themselves into four groups and charged toward the Fire Catapults. First, we slaughtered the players protecting them. With the defenders dead, we hacked away at the constructs and destroyed all of them. By the time the Northern Alliance reinforcements reached their catapults, we had already retreated like the wind. All that was left were broken burning pieces.

The Greedy Wolf Cavalry retreated the moment we destroyed the Fire Catapults. However, they suffered great losses under the envelopment of countless arrows and spells. They did not have high-leveled mounts, neither did they enjoy the buffs from Knight God and Knight General. Since their stats were incomparable to that of the Dragonlight Cavalry, they were naturally unable to charge around as freely as we could.

I reckon that the Greedy Wolf Cavalry would lose about 70% of their players before they could return to Dawn City. Uncle Hot and Sour Noodles truly gave up everything he had just to help us...

......

There weren’t many Northern Alliance players in Dawn Valley left as more than 90% of them were sieging Dawn City. I glanced into the distance at the direction of Wind City and saw groups of Chinese players who were most probably Wind City’s reinforcements. However, given their level and equipment, I highly doubt that they would even make it into the city. They would most probably be slaughtered by the Northern Alliance players before they even get close to the city walls.

"Boss Broken Halberd, where are we going?" Gui Guzi asked.

I smiled and replied, "We’re going to Windy Trail! We’re gonna raid their supplies!"

"Hahahaha! Let’s go!!"

High in spirits, we urged our mounts forward toward Windy Trail and reached our destination in less than ten minutes. As expected, there were only a few Northern Alliance players guarding the place. There were a thousand players in front of us, their levels ranged from 140 to 150. Every one of them had three corn symbols above their heads. This meant that every one of them had three Rank 10 food supplies. Their only job was to transport food supplies to their comrades at Dawn City before returning to their city. After gathering new supplies, they would set out for Dawn City again. They would continue to go back and forth and continuously transport supplies. This way, the Northern Alliance players at Dawn City would never starve to death.

"Time to raid their supplies!" I laughed loudly and said, "Chaos Moon, lead a team and activate Plunder! The chances of picking up any form of ration will be slightly higher!"

Chaos Moon nodded her head and Diamond Dust handed her the position as party leader. Together with Gui Guzi’s party, eight hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen charged toward the Northern Alliance players at lightning speed. As the ground trembled, they turned to look at us with stunned faces. They had not expected to attract the attention of such a large group of expert players just by transporting supplies.

I led a party of two hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen and activated Martial God as we charged forward. Another transportation party of eight had appeared within the narrow valley. Of which, none were expert players. It was safe to assume that the Dragonlight Cavalry would suffer zero losses when faced with such opponents. In addition to that, everyone had just repaired their equipment. It was truly the best time to start our killing spree!

"Attack and plunder!"

I urged my mount forward and unleashed Thousand Ice Slash with a swing of my sword, freezing a bunch of Northern Alliance players. High Fighting Spirits led a bunch of Dragonlight Cavalrymen and charged at the enemies, his Dragonlight Shatter smashing right on top of the shields of a few magic knights. Goddammit! A leopard never changes its spots! He has no consideration for the durability of his weapon whatsoever. Forget it, he’s hopeless! Thankfully, Dragonlight Shatter was a Heaven-grade weapon. It had a relatively high durability so he could keep this up a while longer.

Pchhtt!

I shot Universe Break straight at an archer’s chest, piercing through his armor. He glared at me angrily before dropping a pair of legguards as he collapsed. What made me happier was the white Rank 10 sturgeon he had dropped. Eating that piece of sturgeon enough to fill Satiety of a Level 150 player for at least eight hours. This is good stuff.

Many players in this Nation War were on the verge of starvation. Those who were unable to cope with their hunger gave up fighting and teleported straight back to the city.

Our 1440-strong Dragonlight Cavalry sealed the entrance of the valley and killed any Northern Alliance players who tried to enter. Everyone continued their killing spree with great morale. What made us even happier was that our Nation War contribution points continued to increase dramatically.

As I opened up the point ranking, my eyes widened in surprise. I was actually first on the list. It seemed almost impossible for others to surpass my rank after I had accumulated so many points from my previous battles.

The two elite mages of China, Luo River God of the Capital and Stranger of Three Lifetimes, took second and third place respectively. Beiming Xue, our Dark Archer was fourth. Li Chengfeng, Candlelight Shadow and Lin Yixin claimed fifth, sixth and seventh places. Li Chengfeng had been online for a long time and was currently protecting our supply line at Breeze Canyon. He must have killed many elite opponents to have claimed the fifth spot on the ranking.

He Yi’s Purgatory of Ice and Magma was so OP that relying on that one skill alone was enough for her to make it into the Top 10. She would be generously rewarded for her contributions after this Nation War.

......

Boom! Boom!

Cries rang out as Rock Crush and Xiezhi Howl exploded amid a group of enemies. The sight of the enemies inside made me wonder. Maybe they like being abused? These delivery players were not elites and we had arrived in a hurry, our plans to raid them were only formed a few moments ago. Thus, our enemies did not send troops to protect these delivery players. Even if they did, sending ordinary troops to deal with us would be pointless. Their vaunted Behemoth Cavalry was completely eliminated by our Dragonlight Cavalry. What could ordinary riders do to us?

We charged out of Windy Trail and entered the common territory of Burning City and Hot Sand City. Gui Guzi stayed behind to seal off the entrance of the valley, preventing any enemy player from passing through. Meanwhile, I led the rest of the Dragonlight Cavalry toward enemy territory, killing every player with a red ID along the way.

Dragonlight Cavalry ran forward, arriving at a valley. We seemed to have arrived at one of Vietnam’s tier 2 cities.

Chaos Moon asked, "We always do things with caution. Should we attack the city?"

"We attack! We have to get in..."

I raised my sword and urged my horse forward, charging straight into the city. My Phantom Wolf King followed closely behind me as we easily eliminated a dozen NPC guards. A thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen followed my lead and charged into the city, starting their killing spree. We started our massacre without fear as those NPC guards were merely Level 155 ancient-rank mobs. Most of the player merchants were still at their fourth or fifth class promotion. Taking them down was like a walk in the park.

After wreaking havoc within the city for half an hour, I pointed my sword away from the city and commanded, "Retreat immediately!"

High Fighting Spirits who was having the time of his life asked in shock, "Lu Chen, why are we retreating? I haven’t had enough fun killing..."

Chaos Moon gave him a tight slap on his cheek and said, "Listen to our vice leader you moron!"

I let out a cough before saying, "Reinforcements will be here soon. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be surrounded within the city. No matter how high our HP or Defense are, we may not be able to survive their attacks when we’re trapped."

"Mn, let’s retreat!"

We swiftly retreated like the wind to avoid encountering enemy reinforcements. At this moment, Gui Guzi sent me a message: "Boss Broken Halberd, you have to return right now! The Northern Alliance has sent groups of ten thousand troops to the Windy Trail! I’ll bet that they are here to eliminate us!"

I laughed and replied, "Little Gui, lead your troops up the mountain range. We will cross the Dragonbone Mountain Range itself to reach the Windy Trail. The Dragonlight Armored Horses have great leg strength, so they won’t have an issue travelling through the mountains. We will hit them from the side! We may even be able to force them to dispatch a small army to deal with us!"

"Alright!"

......

Gui Guzi set off with his party of four hundred and the 1440-strong Dragonlight Cavalry charged straight into the Dragonbone Mountain Range from Hot Sand City’s territory. They dashed through the mountain range at lightning speed and leaped right off the moment they saw the enemy!

Wails rang out in the distance as a dozen warriors stepped out of the forest. After a few rounds of Charge, they actually managed to kill a porcupine! One of the assassins whipped out his dagger swiftly and gutted that porcupine. He then put that porcupine on a skewer like an expert and roasted it over a bonfire. Hundreds of players sat around the bonfire and eyed the roasting porcupine. They licked their lips and wrung their hands in anticipation for their meal to be barbecued.

According to the rules, players could procure their own food supply. Unfortunately, the rank of the product would not be very high. At times like these though, it was the best temporary solution to satiate hunger.

"These bunch of assholes really do know how to enjoy gourmet food. How dare they kill OUR porcupines in OUR territory..." I muttered resentfully.

Chaos Moon unsheathed her sword with a clang as her gaze turned icy cold. "Comrades, attack! We will have vengeance for our porcupines!"
