Chapter 648: Second S Grade fortress
Within Silver Scale Fortress, while everyone was pumped up, a bell rang in the skies--
“Ding!”
System Notification: Please note! 10 minutes later, Silver Scale Fortress that is occupied by With You will be attacked by the Dimension Legion Army, please be prepared to defend!
……
“What?”
Light Lantern frowned, “They will actually fight back?”
“Of course.”
I frowned, “This East River Corridor Battle is mimicking a real war. We took down their fortress so how will they just allow us to? All the battles proceed at the same time, we have to take it down and then defend it.”
“Get up the walls.”
Lin Xi pulled out Fallen Frost Sword and said, “Prepare to fight, everyone pay attention to the defenses around. Are there cannons? Light Lantern lead everyone around and see if players can use them.”
“Yes guild leader!”
Everyone headed up the walls. There were a few more monsters on the walls but they were cleared out very quickly. Naturally, these monsters weren’t a threat. Not far away, a dense army appeared. They were made up of Death Frost Cavalries and it was an attack squad from Death Frost Army!
“Peng!”
Not far away, Light Lantern and Haotian used a cannon and a mushroom cloud exploded 500 miles away. Light Lantern smiled, “It can be used! Hahaha, this city belonged to humans and after being taken, the dimension legion didn’t know how to use our machines. We can still use them.”
“Are there enough ammo?” I asked.
“Not much!”
Haotian shook his head, “Each cannon has around 10, a few shots and it will be finished.”
At that moment, Wet July said. He charged out from a black building and hugged a giant ball. He smiled, “Boss July look what I found?”
“Cannonball?” Lin Xi was stunned.
“Right!”
Wet July laughed, “This storage is a gunpowder warehouse, many of them are in boxes but players can only move one at a time.”
“That is great.”
I slapped my leg and smiled, “Ah Shui you have done well! Fanchen, send the assassins to help shift the cannonballs. We have to defend the walls. Our Assassins aren’t that useful, just get them to move resources and we will give them points!”
“Okay!”
The Assassins smiled and went to move cannonballs like a bunch of hardworking ants.
……
On the walls, the corpses of the Frost Army monsters we killed were slowly refreshing but the blood didn’t dry. Cold wind blew and they were like blades slicing our bodies. Lin Xi and I fought side by side and looked at the monsters. Worry appeared in our eyes.
“So many.” Lin Xi frowned, “As compared to before, this wave seems much more.”
“No worries.”
I smiled, “We are defending so we have the absolute advantage but we can’t let them attack the walls. If its durability drops, we might not be able to hold on.”
“En.”
Lin Xi smiled, “In a while, I will bring the Sika Deer Cavalries to form a defense line. Leave the commanding here to Mingxuan and Ruyi. As long as heals and firepower can follow up, we will have unlimited points here. Isn’t that what we want?”
“Right!”
I sucked in a deep breath, “But, we can’t just defend one and think that everything is good. After we force this wave back, we need to take down another S Grade fortress for things to be safe. Or maybe 2-3 more A Grade.”
“We need to continue to split up our forces?”
“Right.”
I nodded, “We need to have the courage to take down 70 cities. On the battlefield, people who are timid will die from hunger. For example this fortress, we just need 2000 people to hold onto it.”
“Okay.”
She looked at me and smiled, “If internal affairs have problems ask Zhang Zhao, if external matters have problems ask Zhou Yu, you are my Zhou Yu. You will settle all expansion matters.”
“En!”
I laughed, “Anyways, this time With You mustn’t fall behind anyone. We must prove to the players on this server that we are a real T1 guild, the top guild on the server!”
“En!”
Lin Xi pulled out her Fallen Frost Sword and smiled, “Cavalries, those above 30000 combat strength head down with me. We will form a defense line, don’t let the monsters touch the walls. Remember, each cavalier must have healing behind them. Firepower on the walls support us. Mingxuan, Ruyi, Warm Sun, Guan Guan, Heaven Timber, all of you command!”
“Understood guild leader!”
Lin Xi pulled the reins and the white deer understood. It jumped off with Lin Xi and landed on the ground, stopping around 20 yards away from the wall. The high level cavalries jumped too. Light Lantern, Haotian, Cal, Yi Xue, Heaven Morque etc went down.
“Lu Li are you not coming?” Lin Xi looked back at me.
“Coming coming!”
I landed from the city with a streak of darkness. My daggers flashed and I was ten meters out, far from Lin Xi.
“What are you doing!”
She stared at me, “Is there something on me? Why are you so far!”
I touched my nose, “Afraid you kill steal…”
“Damn!”
The players around laughed. It was rare for people to see us bicker so they were enjoying it.
……
A few minutes later.
A Death Frost Army general riding a frost beast held his axe. His body was really strong and he pointed at us, “You jerks, you actually killed Sir Enoq. Wait and see, Frost Army will smash you into dust!”
He waved his axe, “Warriors of Death Frost Army, attack, rip our enemies into pieces!”
“Charge!”
The dense Death Frost Cavalries charged like a flood, entering the narrow valley and spreading over.
“It begins!”
Lin Xi pointed her blade too, “We must defend, don’t let any through.”
“They are here!”
Light Lantern sunk down and smiled, “Ranged brothers on the walls, help us!”
Heaven timber raised his bow, “Do your job, as for us… Don’t worry!”
“Ok---”
Light Lantern said, “This kid becomes so tough after becoming team leader, in the past he was like a little brother…”
In the next second, numerous Death Frost Cavalries charged over.
I released White Bird, Orange Night followed me to defend five yards of space. The moment they charged over, I used Hunter’s Edge+ Fames of Karma to knock their momentum away. I then used Apprehension+Muddy Waters+Wooden Dummy!
Lighting and flames wrapped along with Apprehension to deal damage. One had to say that after getting the helmet, my damage increased by a large amount, all elemental damage increased by 20%, fire by 50%. Apprehension’s overall damage was increased by 30-40%. After all, it was mixed damage, it had wind, lighting and fire. When the skill was used, from the rate they were losing health, I could tell the increase in damage.
Orange Night waved his spear and stood there like a pillar. No monster could break past him. White Bird was like a spectre waving her blade to slice one after another. Beside us, numerous Death Frost Cavalries hit our frontline. Spells and arrows were shot down too and the battle became intense.
A few seconds later, a few of them fell and my points shot up. With a bell, I leveled again---
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, you have reached Grade Three Dragonhorse General, attack +66%!
……
After getting to Dragonhorse General, each increase in rank was so tough. Each small tier needed 10 million points so one can tell how tough it was. Even with my speed, apart from quests, I might not increase a grade a day.
Just like that, aftera n hour, this wave was stopped by us. Finally that Legacy Grade Boss was here. Lin Xi and I didn’t help and we left it to Cal, Light Lantern, Heaven Timber and Mundane Slaughter. Legacy Grade boss, it was easy for them.
Thus, after these monsters were finished, some human cavalries entered the valley along with some NPCs. Apart from that, there were a few officials with scrolls. They said, “Lin Xi, July Wildfire, Bright Moon have reclaimed Silver Scale Fortress and has done well, here are your rewards!”
He turned around.
“That is it?”
Light Lantern was shocked, “Just announcing rewards like that?”
“If not?”
I laughed and didn’t bother much.
At that moment, Mundane Slaughter smiled, “Guild Leader, Seven, my brother scouted another S Grade fortress not far from here, what do you all think?”
