Chapter 519 Determined to Break In

“What’s wrong?!”

I furrowed my brow and noticed that Ye Lai had brought around 4000 players from [Judgement] out of the forest. Behind them, there was a large group of players from [Hero’s Mound] pursuing them. I did not see Q-Sword among them, but there definitely was over 5000 people there. Their numbers were almost on par with [Judgement]’s. However, with the addition of [Knights Templar] and [Fantasy Kingdom]’s 5000 players, [Judgement] had to retreat.

[Judgement]’s vice guildmaster Babel Buddha was running towards us and he shouted, “Guildmaster, take some people with you and retreat! I’ll take the rear!”

Ye Lai swung his battle axe over his shoulder and laughed, “Take the rear? Just run! There’s no need to get tangled with those Fan Shu City players. Retreat with the main formation of [Zhan Long]. Where they go, we go. As long as we protect that NPC Chi Yu Han, we’ll be in the clear. After all, this is just a city-level quest!”

……

I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir Sword and took Li Mu, Wang Jian and the rest to charge forward. We took the rear and threatened [Hero’s Mound] players as we covered for [Judgement]’s retreat, fighting alongside Ye Lai and Babel Buddha. We began to converse——

I said, “Ye Lai, what brought you to this state? Weren’t you supposed to have met up with Yan Zhao Warrior? How could you guys have lost so miserably?”

Ye Lai didn’t immediately reply and just smiled ruefully, “Q-Sword, that bastard, is more calculating than I am. They took advantage of the hills in Bowl Valley to deal two full-on attacks on us. We lost quite a few just from those. Furthermore, the forest was filled with hidden Death God Arrows and we lost another 7000 players to those. On the bright side, we had already cut down around 8000 of their Death God Arrow Machines, so [Hero’s Mound] didn’t gain too much from that victory. Yan Zhao Warrior also lost quite a bit. He retreated with only 9000 players. He still wants to maintain his neutral status and left after killing off 80% of [Hero’s Mound]’s troops.”

I smiled, “That means that [Hero’s Mound] suffered quite a blow this time. Just how many were killed on both sides?”

Ye Lai’s tone deepened, “If we were only talking about [Hero’s Mound], [Prague] and [Judgement], then it was a loss of around 1:2. For every [Hero’s Mound] player that was killed, we lost two of our own. Later on, when [Knights Templar], [Fantasy Kingdom], as well as 9 other Fan Shu City guilds joined the battle, the tables turned and for every player that we lost, they lost two more!”

As he finished talking, Ye Lai looked up at me and asked, “Xiao Yao, what’s your plan after this? You saw how I brought all of my brothers over here and bet their lives on your side. Don’t tell me that you have no more plans to use. If so, then I’m not letting you off easily!”

I laughed, “Don’t worry; I still have plans! We’re going straight towards the Grave of the Warring States! [Zhan Long]’s guild fort has already risen into a level 2 city and the walls surrounding it are made of stone that are around 5 meters high. Furthermore, there are watch towers that are each at least 10 meters tall, giving us the advantage in the sky. On top of that, there’re blacksmiths inside the fort to fix our equipment. This way, we’ll count on Dragon’s Den, this simple city, to defend us. Holding off for 8 hours shouldn’t be too big of a problem.”

Ye Lai nodded, “Alright, then we’ll do that for our next step. Let’s go!”

“Yes!”

……

Our team of 15,000 people headed straight towards [Zhan Long]’s territory. Along the way, a few of Ba Huang City’s medium and small guilds tried to block our way, but they were all crushed by us. They had underestimated the strength of our 15,000 men.

Ye Lai and Misty Clouds, as always, saw each other as enemies. However, for the sake of their mutual ally, [Zhan Long], they managed to work together, which was a pretty good thing in the end.

Not long after, we made it out of the forest. In the distance, we could make out the shape of the city walls. Our Dragon’s Den looked almost like a stone fort, which looked pretty simple and crude. However, the city was relatively large. Fitting 15,000 people in wasn’t going to be a problem.

Wan Er raised her dagger and pointed towards the city and shouted, “Open the gates!”

On top of the city, a few of the NPC’s recognized this vice guildmaster and immediately lowered the iron gate. All of us rushed into the city. I glanced at Li Mu and said, “Li Mu, take 500 of the heavy armor players and go repair your equipment. Afterwards, we’re going to lay out a defense formation in front of the city gates!”

Li Mu nodded, “Understood!”
