Chapter 267: 3 Pronged Attack
“[Hero’s Mound] has made the first attack…” I muttered to myself, “There are only two possibilities why. The first reason is that Wang Ze Cheng thinks too highly of himself and thinks that 2000 people are enough to fight against [Zhan Long]. The second reason is that Wang Ze Cheng understands himself and still has a hidden card, but what is [Hero’s Mound]’s hidden card?”
“No use wondering about that now, shall we attack them?” Old K was barely restraining himself from charging in.
I laughed, “Don’t be so hasty; although they took the initiative, we’ll take advantage of this and defend for now. We’ll exploit their frontline’s wide gap in between us and weaken them. After that, we’ll carve our way through to the players still hiding in Magic Tracking Forest.!”
“Okay, I approve of the Boss’ tactics!” Matcha smiled.
Li Mu pulled out his sword, “Alright, then lets do this!”
……
Off in the distance within the swaying forests, players from [Hero’s Mound] charged from the bushes one by one. Passing through the foliage, I counted around 500 players, with most of them being the Heavy Armor class. There wasn’t a lack of elite players and with a glance, I saw 2 team leaders and 4 flagbearer commanders leading the groups. All four of them were the elites from the First Division of [Hero’s Mound].
“Keng!”
Unsheathing my Emperor Qin’s sword, I roared, “Line up! Prepare to defend while all the Archers prepare to shoot them dead! All Knights, activate your [Defensive Stance]s’!”
“[Multi Shot], [Pillar of Fire & Ice]’s, go!”
Li Mu roared as well, causing the Archers and Mages behind him to activate their skills at the incoming attackers, engulfing them all in gorgeous amounts of firepower. The remaining players that came out from the assault were already losing their spirits with half their health left, so without further hesitation, I brought the tip of my sword up and yelled as I charged forward!
Right as I was about to make contact with the enemy group, the Emperor Qin’s Sword trembled, as the symbolic 7 shooting stars flew out–the SS ranked skill [Seven Star Fragment Slash] was cast! Tearing apart the earth, dozens of players were swallowed up by the attack, scaring the other players with the numbers that rose into the air–
2871!
3004!
2774!
5892!
……
Basically, every hit had done over 2500 points of damage; one of them had almost given 6000 points of damage from a superior strike. In a split second the area in front of me became like a vacuum, with players dropping dead, leaving their equipment and medicine behind when they died.
“Haaah?!”
One of the team leaders of [Hero’s Mound] went purple in the face as the battle axe in his hand threatened to fall from his hands, “What…what kind of attack strength is this? What kind of expert are we up against?!”
The rest of [Hero’s Mound] didn’t see the terrible disadvantages of attacking me, and so they continued their assault by rapidly closing in on me!
“Peng peng peng…”
“Keng….”
Strikes against shields and armor were heard constantly as the players of [Hero’s Mound]’s First Division continued to fight decently against my group. [Combo]s and [Flame Blade]’s were constantly being used and even more [Blade Rush]’s were being cast by Swordsmen trying to break through our frontlines. However, the weapons of the Musketeers fired rapidly, shooting dead most of the ones that had tried to rush in. Fox stood with his gun raised, “Do these people really wish to be executed by our firing squad?!”
“Advance!”
After blocking the first wave, Li Mu and Wang Jian began their counterattack with the other 3rd class advanced Swordsmen. Old K was in the middle of the crowd of players, with his Twin Haunted Battle Axe already casting [Whirlwind Slash] and [Savage Jump Slash] to pierce through multiple foes. Every so often, he would casually jump back to have Healers cast [Heal]s so that he would not have to fear death. Old K’s way of attacking wasn’t too strong but his mastery of [Whirlwind Slash] and [Savage Jump Slash] was that of a battle master, which was enough. All of his enemies had fallen and experienced the taste of dirt!
The Emperor Qin’s Sword flashed, every single stroke practically doing over 3000 points of damage. This attack power of 3700+ was almost too cruel; the damage of this sword could easily be classified as unrivaled. Even the opposing Knights and Monks were being slashed apart with ease like melons; no one stood a chance. It was a terrifying thought for [Hero’s Mound] that after Wang Ze Cheng would be the only person that could withstand one of my attacks.
……
Not even 10 minutes into the war and the [Hero’s Mound]’s First Division met a strong resistance, so powerful that our frontline defenses hadn’t even lost half our members yet! Around 400 dead corpses littered the ground and the faces of the survivors showed terrible expressions. One of the team leaders lifted his longbow and cried, “Mother f*cker, can we not even break a hole in their frontline defenses? Which idiot was the one that said [Zhan Long] wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single blow?! This was a fool’s quest, what…what should we do now?”
“Continue to kill, the Guild Master’s orders must be carried out. Even if we all die, we cannot retreat even a single step!”
“Fine, onwards!”
Li Mu whistled on by, activating [Absolute Authority]. With a single chop, the Archer’s head fell to the ground. His group had completely fallen to ruins now, while our own losses didn’t even go past the double digits and all of them had already been revived. In a few minutes, the opposing 500 players had became corpses that littered the ground layer by layer.
“Hey…”
Old K lifted his battle axe and laughed, “[Hero’s Mound]’s First Division, what was that about not being able to withstand a single blow?”
My eyes narrowed, “This isn’t right, it went far too easily. Normally…a person as shrewd as Wang Ze Cheng wouldn’t give his elite 500 players to us that conveniently, what kind of tactics is this?”
Li Mu asked, “Should we proceed to attack? According to the spies, the rest of their 1700 players are already in the interior of Magic Tracking Forest. Let us go in there to kill them, it’s just a nice slab of meat waiting to be cooked!”
I exhaled, “Alright, connect with Han Bei Song, let [Crimson Contract] attack from the north. Dancing Forest will lead the 1100+ members of [Zhan Long] from the south and cut off their means of escape. We will attack from the front; the First Division of [Hero Mound] is over!”
“Good, onwards!”
