Zhan Yue-Chapter 650- Vanguard's competition
“Peng peng peng---”
Ice Blade Boomerang light shone in the forest and next was Secret Flash as Mundane Slaughter shouted, “Brothers retreat, we have triggered them!”
Shortly after, I saw a muscular figure charging out from the forest. The blade flashed across and an Assassin that wasn’t able to use Secret Slash in time was sliced up. His rough face had a horn on it and his armor flickered blue from inscriptions. He raised his blade, “We have been detected, the ambush is useless! 16th unit, charge out with me, kill all these humans!”
The forest rustled and leaves flew around. People charged out. The Pioneer Cavalries, Blood Giants and Pioneer Ghouls were like a flood that headed toward our land. Looking at their numbers there were at least ten thousand of them.
“Problematic!”
Light Lantern raised his sword and said, “Two wings start to fall back, heavy armored move outside. Ranged and support inside. Shrink our formation, use the iron barrel formation to fight them!”
The players on our wings started to swing back like a dumpling and in just two minutes we connected. The entire guild turned into an iron barrel. This was the best way to battle enemies several times our number. If not the backline would get broken through. With the killing strength of the Pioneer Cavalries and Blood Giants, With You would suffer huge losses.
“They are here!”
I summoned White Bird and Orange Night while pointing forwards, “Restrict them with all our firepower, this is the obstacle before the S Grade area, we have to take them down!”
“Right!”
With You’s cavalries led by Lin Xi, Cal, Light Lantern, Haotian etc raised their blades and used Boomerang Slash+Flame Blade Thrust. I used Wooden Dummy+Apprehension to charge into the monsters.
All of a sudden, the wide forest became an intense battlefield. With You’s defence line was hit time after time but we held on. Be it the valiant Pioneer Cavalries or the strong Blood Giants, as long as they were normal monsters, they couldn’t break through.
After half an hour, fewer of them attacked us. We were able to breathe. Further ahead was that Boss with the blade. With Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, I saw his stats. Pioneer Monster General Malad, level 145 Legacy Grade Boss, another one.
Lin Xi waved, “Light Lantern, Cal, bring people to kill him. The rest follow us forwards to occupy the forest so they don’t ambush us anymore.”
“Right!”
But at that moment, rustling spread from the left. Many people charged out and they were all players. They all had the guild emblem with a blade. It was Vanguard, in it, Fushen Thousand Blades stood at the front. Level 133 Assassin, he had red and orange equipment and his brow was covered in confidence and pride.
Beside him was the one who talked to us previously, Vanguard’s Deputy Guild Leader, Wild Returning Light. He rode a horse and his face was cold. Beside him was a high-level mage and her red robe wrapped her exquisite body. She held a staff with a red gem and frowned at us. This person was famous, Not Fish, Vanguard’s Deputy Leader, one of the top mages on the server. Her strength was not lower than Ruyi.
“What a coincidence!”
Fushen Thousand Blades smiled, “I didn’t expect With You to be here, are you all…”
“S Grade Badger Valley?” I frowned and asked.
“Right.”
He smiled, “We got the news and brought people over, we didn’t expect you to be here.”
“Guild Leader Fushen.”
Lin Xi rode the White Deer forwards and was really calm, “We were more than half an hour earlier than you. You saw that we defeated an NPC army here and are attacking the defending boss. If Vanguard attacks Badger Valley, that is a little immoral.”
“S Grade area!”
Wild Returning Light smiled, “It is very important for every guild. Since we are here, Guild Leader Lin Xi won’t just tell us to head back right? Based on what I see, With You already has one, why not leave Badger Valley to us.”
“What nonsense?”
Cal rode her horse forwards and pointed the sword, “Wild Returning Light, you are also a famous person so how can you say something so shameless? With You cleared out the defending troops and are attacking the boss. Now you enter to take advantage? Or do you want us to sacrifice for Vanguard?”
“Why not? Yan Nantian is really good at doing that! Hehe” IN the crowd, a high level cavalry walked out. ID Don’t Be Foolish but he looked dumb.
Not far away, a Fighter called Goodbye Tears smiled, “I think Deputy Leader Light makes sense. With You has an S Grade area already so why be so greedy? Why not treat it like I am begging you, leave Badger Valley to us, we are all so hungry!”
“Stop your nonsense here.”
I frowned and walked forwards with my daggers. I looked at the guild leader, “Guild Leader Fushen, make your stand. You support Vanguard to fight With You for the valley? If you think so then let’s stop saying such fake things. We will charge in and whoever gets the flag gets the valley. We won’t have a bottom line, both sides can attack each other. How about that?”
“July Wildfire…”
He hesitated, “I know that it isn’t good for Vanguard to take Badger Valley now but… This corridor battle is a fight for resources, so let’s not say such fake things. Whoever gets it wins?”
“Okay!” I nodded.
Lin Xi’s face was covered in frost. She gritted her teeth while returning back to With You’s formation, “Fushen Thousand Blade really thinks he is strong after becoming the top assassin. Scoff, wait and see!”
It was obvious that Vanguard and Fushen Thousand Blades had made our guild leader angry.
“Lu Li!”
Lin Xi turned around, “Head over with me. Kill this Legacy Grade boss in three minutes and then attack Badger Valley. I want to see how strong they are to be so annoying and fight for spots with us!”
“En!”
I turned around and started to attack. The Legacy Boss was too backward and in just three minutes it fell to our attacks. Lin Xi tossed the items into the guild treasury. She pointed her sword forwards, “With You, attack Badger Valley!”
“Attack!”
Light Lantern, Cal, Haotian, Yixue pushed forwards at the front. I entered White Cloak and walked at the front of everyone. I split up with Mundane Slaughter, Moonlight Firefly, Nine Song, Wet July to scout.
……
A few minutes later, I walked out of the forest. Ahead was the monster army formation. Pioneer Cavalries were in front of the Badger Valley. Their shields were on the ground and they thrust their swords forwards. Behind them were the archers. Before the players arrived, they started to form their defensive formations.
With You on the right, Vanguard on the left, both player groups entered the battlefield.
“Brothers!”
A Pioneer Cavalry captain pulled his blade and pointed at the players, “We must defend it. As long as the valley is in our hands, we can control the chokepoint. Let them attack, a while later His Highness Valen is about to arrive. When the time comes, everyone here will definitely die!”
“Fight!”
The bunch of Pioneer Cavalries and Archers roared.
“Scum!”
Wild Returning Light smiled and raised his sword, “Brothers charge and smash their formation. Let’s charge in and get the S Grade area!”
“Right!”
Don’t Be Foolish pulled his sword while smiling coldly, “Whether or not we get top three depends on this battle! If we win, we replace With You and are first. If we lose, we lose everything!”
……
“Then you can prepare to lose everything!”
Light Lantern laughed coldly, “Brothers, push forwards and break through!”
Both sides moved.
But Vanguard was charging with their heavy armored players to smash the monsters’ formation. With You was engaging cautiously, frontline to tank and backline to damage. Both strategies were very different.
