Palace Decree was a little embarrassed, “I’m afraid I didn’t live up to [Zhan Long]’s expectations. I’m sorry, but I really can’t leave….”
I nodded, “Whether it is your actions, or your life decisions as long as you can ask your heart and have no regrets, then all is well. Continue to work hard!”
Palace Spirit looked at the Dragon Reservoir Sword in my hand, her eyes filled with puzzlement. She exclaimed, “Brother Xiao Yao, that long sword in your hand… Is that the Emperor Qin’s Sword?”
“Eh….” I tilted my head and looked down. I then smiled, “You could say it is. This is the second evolution of the Emperor Qin’s Sword, Dragon Reservoir Sword. It’s a Saint Tier Equipment, and its stats are much higher than the Emperor Qin’s Sword…. That’s right, this sword was originally made by you. Ling Er, I must thank you. You have helped me quite a bit. Without this Dragon Reservoir Sword, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get third place in the Rise of the Heroes Tournament or the City Battle MVP….”
Palace Spirit gave me a sweet smile, “As my brother had said, it was my honor! Actually…. I do want to go to [Zhan Long], but Brother is always defending his “Path of a Loyal Servant”. You understand right? Brother is just a big idiot….”
Palace Decree rubbed his forehead, “Cough cough, don’t say anymore….”
I smiled, but I didn’t have anymore time to talk. I needed to take the 10,000 players of [Zhan Long] back to our formation.
……
Once I reconstructed our formation at the bottom of the city walls, a bell rang through the sky. The seventh Talisman had fallen, and the owner’s name appeared——
“Ding!”
System Notification: Players, please take note, [Warring States Talisman – Seven] has already been dropped, and has been obtained by player Leafy Gentlemen. He is currently in the position (13331, 8921). When the player is killed, there is a 100% chance he will drop the Talisman!
After that, there was another system bell. The seventh Talisman already switched owners, to the player Luo Mu. Within the next minute, [Prague]’s team leader Luo Mu also died, and the Talisman was dropped. It was picked up by [Vanguard]’s Fallen Wolf. Right after that, Fallen Wolf also died, dropping the Talisman. [Prague]’s guildmaster Yan Zhao Warrior had picked it up!
After a few minutes, there didn’t seem to be any movement regarding the 7th Talisman. Looks like Uncle Yan Zhao had it in his bag. It was the guildmaster of [Prague]’s talisman. The Talisman had finally found a somewhat less temporary place to stay.
……
The eighth wave of monsters will soon come out….” Matcha said as she gripped the sword. Her beautiful eyes glanced towards the city walls, “Boss, the last 6 hours will definitely be the worst. We’ve already played for 14 hours straight. Are you tired? Do you need to rest?”
I shook my head, “After playing for 20 hours straight, peeing is an ok reason to go offline, but we should give up on sleep. Let’s continue to battle. Those last 6 hours are just too important for [Zhan Long]. Matcha, you saw it too. In the last City Battle, [Zhan Long] got the most credit. We first annihilated [House of Prestige], [Emperor’s Blood], [Moonlit Lake] and [Legend], those main guilds, but in the end, what did we get? A false rumor that [Zhan Long] achieved what they did due to luck, and that [Vanguard] was Ba Huang City’s true victor. I have no way of controlling what people say, so by taking this City of the Four Noblemen, the very first guild base, I can prove that [Zhan Long] has true strength. Let those liars shut up. That is what I really want to do.”
Matcha’s eyes lit up and she smiled, “Ok! I will do my best to support boss!”
……
Not long after, the city gates opened up, and the eighth wave of monsters finally appeared!
As I killed the monsters, I looked at the rankings for the points that people had. Just as I expected, I wasn’t in first place. I didn’t kill enough people. Compared to Jian Feng Han, that psychopathic killer, there was probably a big difference in our points——
Jian Feng Han [1740020] Xiao Yao Zi Zai [1631290] Simple [1428230] Misty Clouds [1372870] Yue Qing Qian [1312830] Yan Zhao Warrior [1293870] Hero Ran Min [1237280] Drunken Spear [1212710] Thousand Suns over Snowy Lands [1191230] Bai Li Ruo Feng [1172900] ……
It was clear, all of [Zhan Long]’s top tier players had been working pretty hard. In the top ten, there were four of [Zhan Long]’s members. Our only shortcoming was that we didn’t have enough players. If this battle of attrition was to a greater degree, our weakness from our numbers would truly show.
As time passed slowly, we finally killed 50% of the eighth wave of monsters, and more news came——
“Brother Xiao Yao!”
Qing Qian carried her daggers, and bounded over, “A new battle has begun. Someone is attacking [Flying Dragon]’s formation, and they want to take Soaring Dragon’s number one Talisman!”
“Who?”
