Chapter 250 – Three Heros Fight Vanguard
“Pa da… Pa da…”
Drops of rain pattered onto the leaves on the trees. At dawn, a heavy thunderstorm started pouring down. Dark clouds gathered on the supposedly bright morning sky, enveloping the entire land with darkness.
Quickly walking into the shelter of the foliage, I gazed up at the sky. Flashes of lightning arced across the sky. Gritting my teeth, I said, “Are the heavens helping us or not?”
General Li Mu laughed, saying “It’s hard to tell. For now, Jian Feng Han is surely feeling tremendous pressure on his side. The advance of 14,000 [Vanguard]’s forces were halted by us to the extent that not even one person was able to set foot into Arctic Fox Forest. [Vanguard]’s honor has been shattered. After this battle, it will surely be discussed on the sub-threads for Ba Huang City or even better, the main Cinese Server threads on the forums! The 3rd highest guild in all of China’s server, [Vanguard], was left in this horrible state by five small newly-formed guilds! Hehehe…”
Frozen Gravestone held his sword and wiped the rain off his face as he rushed here. “A thunderstorm… Wind Elves won’t be able to fly now. This could still be counted as advantageous for us. Jian Feng Han shouldn’t be able to tell if we’re coming or not right now.”
“No. The whole path has [Vanguard]’s Assassins hiding in the bushes. They will know if we were to walk past that area.” Wolf spoke.
Frozen Gravestone furrowed his brows. “That’s not good. Wolf, are you sure?”
“Yes, I am definitely sure. I ran into a Lv 60 Assassin that had advanced to his third tier profession. After I revealed his stealth, he immediately ran using [Absolute Step]. My speed wasn’t fast enough, so I was unable to catch up.”
Matcha quickly followed me. Wiping the rain from her face as well, she blinked and said, “Boss, we need to be more cautious. There’s a reason why Jian Feng Han is one of the top players in the China server. His thoughts are extremely detailed and lined out. To achieve his goal, he could use unscrupulous methods. The reason [Vanguard]’s 14,000 man army was defeated by us was merely because Jian Feng Han wasn’t there to command it. Deep within the Arctic Fox Forest, the mining cave is Jian Feng Han’s domain. He would surely have some strategy there.”
“Yeah.”
I nodded. “Nearby the mining cave, how are our men?”
“They all perished.” Song Han replied.
“What? Those Knights, Healers, and Monks were all killed?”
Song Han nodded grievously in the rain. “Yes, Brother Xiao Yao. Half an hour ago, Jian Feng Han distributed some troops from the surroundings of the Mining Cave to attack our forces from behind. They ambushed our Healers. Having lost their support, the Knights and Monks naturally couldn’t bear the brunt of damage for long. The group of nearly a thousand men were all killed.”
“In their spiritual form, did they find out about anything?”
“Nothing…”
“Oh…”
On one side, Yue Qing Qian, gripping her dagger tightly, said, “That’s not right. Their spirits have some news.”
“What news, Qing Qian?”
“Jian Feng Han, Fushen Thousand Blade, and Fallen Wolf brought around 600 people to the mine. However, there are only 200 people inside. The other 400’s positions are unknown.”
“Their positions are unknown?” I quickly opened the map. Feeling a chill creep down my spine, I mumbled, “Be careful. Behind us!”
“What?” Misty Clouds exclaimed.
……
“Shua shua shua…”
The tall grass shook. The next moment, a huge number of [Vanguard] members jumped out, ambushing us as we approached the dreadful terrain. A single person dashed towards our group with his sword held high and cut through a Berserker from [Misty Palace]. Utilizing the momentum from [Blade Rush], he managed to kill another few Archers. Behind him was a Rock Spirit Fighter, clashing against our group. If this isn’t Jian Feng Han, who could it be?
“Shou shou”, arrows were fired. Within one minute, at least 100 men had already been killed. The enemy’s Archers and Mages were hidden deep in the tall grass, making it impossible to target them directly. Our long range attackers were also brought to a tough spot.
“Retreat! Don’t panic!”
I unsheathed my sword and shouted, “Stand your ground! Defensive formation, circle around and surround them. Long ranged attackers, lock on to [Vanguard]’s heavy armored players! Qing Qian, Wei Liang, Song Han, bring the Assassins and sneak into the tall grass to kill their long ranged fire. Jian Feng Han should only have at most 400 players. We outnumber them! Don’t be afraid!”
After my shout, the troops steadied their footsteps. Li Mu, Wang Jian and the others battled on the front lines, blocking Jian Feng Han’s players from dealing damage to the group.
“Hou!”
The Flaming Tiger God slowly increased in size, releasing a [Burstfire Raid] upon them. Tens of [Vanguard]’s heavy armored players were burnt alive. Immediately, a [Fierce Roar] followed after the barrage of attacks, leaving even more players with heavy injuries.
“Pa pa pa…”
