Chapter 356 Wang Ze Cheng’s Trap
“Peng peng peng…”
The ruckus of boots splashing in the swampy water echoed, as a large group of people could be seen crossing. Lifting his long sword Li Mu laughed, “It is a shame no one in [Zhan Long] has 100 points in their pet space; otherwise, we’d have a far more superior cavalry group in terms of mobility, and we would have reached Firestone Canyon in less than half an hour. Hmph, let’s give [Hero Mound]’s First Division a good ass-whooping!”
I lifted my head and looked forward, commanding, “Speed up, Firestone Canyon is just ahead. Wang Jiang and his men won’t be able to hold off any longer!”
“Alright!”
……
After a few minutes passed, Firestone Canyon came into view. Taking the lead, I leapt into the canyon; my boots kicking up dust as my cape fluttered behind me. Slicing my Emperor Qin’s Sword into the canyon wall, I slowly came to a halt in the middle of the gorge. Li Mu, Ran Min, Yue Qin Qian and Matcha caught up to me while Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands flew over, landing elegantly with a wand in hand.
Yue Qin Qian pointed forward, “Just over 3000 yards away, Wang Jian’s 1200+ [Zhan Long: First Division] members are trapped in a small ravine, and 700 of them have already perished. We have lost more than half our group and can barely resist the enemy. Brother Xiao Yao, shall we head over quickly? If we delay any longer, they’ll be wiped out!”
Nodding my head, I instructed, “Matcha, go by air and scout the terrain. I will lead the rest via ground!”
“Okay!”
Matcha raised her sword and rapidly rose into the air as two translucent wings appeared on her back. Flapping her wings, she disappeared into the distance. The 2000 elite [Zhan Long] troops on the ground proceeded swiftly into the forest. Only by suddenly striking out from the forest in a wild charge, thereby taking them by surprise, would we have the power to fend them off.
7 minutes later, I charged out of the thicket brandishing my Emperor Qin’s Sword with a “Hua!”. The ravine was right before my eyes. At least 3000+ [Hero’s Mound: First Division] members were gathered together, all of them armed and ready. Wang Ze Cheng, with his long spear, stood amidst the crowd of people, laughing, “Close combat unit don’t charge forward or else you’ll just be feeding General Wang Jian. Long Range unit pressure them with [Scattered Shot] and, with the support of [Pillar of Fire & Ice], we’ll annihilate all of them!”
Suddenly, the Berserker beside Wang Ze Cheng, Wind Walker, started to tremble. “Brother Cheng, [Zhan Long]’s main guild members have arrived! Xiao Yao Zi Zai, Yue Qing Qian, General Li Mu and the others are right behind us. The core force have personally led their troops over, what do we do?”
Wang Ze Cheng abruptly turned, the corners of his mouth rose into a smirk, “I’ve been waiting for them. Team 1, Team 2 ready yourselves to block the assaulting forces of [Zhan Long]’s main troops. Long Range units withdraw!”
Soon, 2000+ [Hero’s Mound: First Division] members simultaneously turned. A group of Knights and Monks thrust their shields into the ground, rapidly forming a compressed line of defense. Rays of sunlight reflected off the heavy shields, displaying a dazzling radiance. It won’t be easy to break the defense of this shield formation.
I sent a message to Wang Jian, “Hurry and let everyone resurrect! The main guild is attacking from the front. You guys attack from the back, and together we’ll crush [Hero’s Mound: First Division].”
“OK!” Wang Jian Replied.
……
“Ding!”
A message from Matcha appeared, “Boss, north of where we’re currently standing, there are at least 5000 of Soaring Dragon members preparing for combat. I think these people are allied with Cang Cheng. The moment we take action and engage with [Hero Mound: First Division], they will immediately ambush us and start killing. When that happens, it would be even harder to fight back…”
I lifted my head up, Matcha had landed atop a tree and fluttered her wings a bit as she looked at me. Yup, Matcha’s information is probably right. Now our only problem is that we need to request reinforcements!
Aftering opening up my friend list, I found Han Song Bei and sent a message, “A great deal!”
Han Song Bei quickly responded with a smile, “[Blood Contract]’s 2500 men are already hidden in the forest nearby. Our exact location is around (31712, 112283), ready for your command!”
I took a glance at the map and couldn’t help but laugh, “ Okay, how did you guys pull this off?”
