In the next half an hour, With You’s main goal was to defend the mountain. After killing most of the attacking Pioneer Cavalries, a human army came up the mountain. With their sword and shield protection was also dozens of NPCs. They were potion merchants, blacksmiths etc. They all sat around the flag.

“Oh!”

Moonlight Firefly smiled, “Seems like they are doing this to progress the battlefield.”

“En.”

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, “That is good, we can continue on the frontlines and don’t have to head back to the city.”

“Look over there!”

Haotian pointed. Everyone looked out and saw a group heading toward the north east. They were from Legend.

“This is the 4th time they split up.”

Mundane Slaughter said solemnly, “I heard that noticed an A grade location so Dawn led men over. They currently took down two B and one C and they are top of the leaderboards!”

“Leaderboards…”

Everyone opened it at the same time and on the first page was the various guild and their occupation rankings--

Legend Level 7 Points: 50

Elements Level 7 Points: 40

Vanguard Level 7 Points: 40

Limitless Level 7 Points: 40

With You Level 7 Points: 30

House of Prestige Level 7 Points: 30

Winds of Battle level 7 points: 30

Heavenly Water Level 7 Points: 20

Prague Level 7 Points: 20

Dragonrider Hall Level 7 Points: 10

……

East River Corridor Battle, personal rankings and honor were secondary. This was a secondary city era, a battle between all guilds! Based on the rules, C Grade was 10 points, B was 20, A was 30. Legend had two B and one C and was first. Elements had 1 A and 1 C and was second. As for With You, as we were slightly late and didn’t split up, we only had one A and were ranked fifth. In truth, we were joint 5-7th so it wasn’t that good.

“Damn…”

Ah Fei held his staff and frowned, “I thought that With You will rise up now that we are level 7, so how come we didn’t get into the top three!”

“Stop grumbling.”

I pouted and said, “The goal of this event is quite obvious, it is to develop players’ expansion and attack nature. Taking down a stronghold would not mean that one gets a high ranked. Those that are highly ranked are splitting up to expand. With You has to change our strategy too.”

“One will earn more the more bold one is?” Lin Xi smiled.

“That is basically what it means.”

I said solemnly, “Lin Xi, let me command?”

“En, you lead.” She smiled.

Shen Mingxuan wrapped her arms and smiled, “Such an invasive guy…”

I was speechless.

At that moment, Mundane Slaughter smiled, “Our men found an important intel. Ten miles north of us there is a human stronghold that fell to the Dimension Legion. It is called Silver Scale Stronghold and it was originally guarded by Silver Frost Army. The walls are firm and the troops there are strong, it is probably S Grade. Should we try?”

“What do you think?”

I laughed, “Send the coordinates. Main alliance strike. If we can take it down we will rise up. After all, one S Grade is 100 points!”

Cal smiled, “Don’t be too careless. Since it is S Grade, the defending troops are definitely strong. Let’s not mess up. It would be hard to fight against other guilds then.”

“En, don’t worry.”

I sucked in a deep breath, “Division defend Dragon Spine Mountain, the rest follow me out. Let’s head to this Silver Scale Stronghold, Lin Xi let’s go?”

“En, go!”

Lin Xi jumped onto the White Deer and held Fallen Frost Sword. She got the coordinates from me and smiled, “Let’s go With You!”

……

We headed down the mountain at the fastest speed. The main alliance turned into a triangle. The strongest 100 cavalries and ranged players opened the path and the rest followed. We just had to kill a batch of monsters like that. The monsters at the wings would then be just killed by players progressively.

Lin Xi and I were the blades. We charged side by side. Behind us was Cal, Light Lantern, Haotian, Yixue, Mundane Slaughter, Moonlight Firefly etc. We were the strongest defence breaking team in With You. We swept across, splitting the monsters into two and then heading in from the middle. We used logical aggro juggling to become the first guild to charge across the plains.

Further ahead was a bush forest. From afar, we could see the Pioneer Army gathering in the empty space. War drums sounded out like they were planning to attack. We were deep into enemy land. Right when we wanted to continue forwards, frost appeared on the grass ahead and the weather seemed much colder. After three miles, it was a long stretching ice mountain.

A snow white stronghold stood in the land, Silver Scale Stronghold appeared!

“So cold!”

Cal rubbed her hands, “Why is this map so cold?”

“Probably because…”

I looked at the outline, “This stronghold is occupied by Death Frost Army?”

“En, of course.”

Lin Xi pointed her sword forwards, “The monsters spawning aren’t pioneer forest ones but monsters from the Frost Forest. Aren’t those snow monsters?”

“Charge quickly!”

“En!”

We struck. All of a sudden, the 8 thousand of us were like a flood that surged toward the stronghold. We killed all the monsters blocking our way. Such scenes made one’s blood boil and all the grass we trampled on along the way were killed. Under the setting sun, the stronghold walls reflected the light. They were like silver scales which was probably how they got their name.

“S Grade!”

Ah Fei drooled, “Damn, if we take this down won’t we rule?”

Black Barbarian smiled, “How could it be so easy, there will definitely be a tough battle. We are attacking and we don’t have any tools. They would probably wash us in blood!”

I frowned. Little Black’s observation skills were definitely good. We didn’t have siege weapons. Cloud Ladders, Siege Chariots etc, we didn’t have any. We were all players and didn’t have a cannon. The walls were at least 20 meters tall. I could use Dark Shadow Jump to get up but it was tough for others.

……

Not long later, we were at the foot and there were Death Frost Army corpses all around. With You set up camp 50 meters away to form a defensive line in case they suddenly charged out from the city.

“Scoff!”

On the walls, an ashen white vicious Boss Grade undead held a spear and laughed coldly at us, “Ants want to take down our city? How arrogant!”

“Nonsense!”

Haotian rode his horse forwards and pointed his sword, “This stronghold belongs to us and you just stole it. If you know your place then give it up, we can consider letting you live!”

The frost undead on the walls all raised their heads to laugh.

Haotian’s mouth twitched and asked, “Why are they laughing?”

Mundane Slaughter touched his nose, “They probably think you are stupid?”

“Damn, can you be more indirect…”

……

Lin Xi looked at the wall and also frowned, “Lu Li what now? The walls are too high and we don’t have cloud ladders. If we attack, if the arrows fire we will suffer losses. How?”

“We have to break the gates.”

I looked at the iron gates. With Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, I could see the durability. Over 5 billion. My mouth twitched, “The gates are 5 billion, if we focus fire it will take ten minutes? During these ten minutes, we will suffer huge losses.”

“Then we can only open from within.”

Lin Xi looked at the snow mountains behind. We laughed at one another, we definitely thought about the same thing.

“You thought of an idea?” Mundane Slaughter asked.

“En.”

I nodded, “This stronghold was built against the mountain. Although it can’t be broken but it is connected to the mountain. We just need to send high agility players from the mountain and they will descend into the stronghold. Then just open a side gate. Not only will losses be low, but the city will also be intact which will help us defend it.”

“That makes sense!”

Mundane Slaughter smiled, “Let’s begin then!”

I looked at everyone, “Assassin Team follow me. Apart from that, Shen Mingxuan lead 300 Archer elites. Lin Xi you are in charge of probing attacks here. Just ensure that there are no losses. Split up their attention. The rest of us head up from the forest onto the mountain.”

“Okay---”
