Chapter 656- Allied troops first

“Let’s go!”

I summoned my horse and jumped up onto it to lead the team, “There aren’t many spots outside, let’s get a good position!”

I pointed at the empty land in the distance, it was the one that was furthest in front. On the right were the Silver Frost Army’s heavy shield soldiers and heavy cavalries. On the right were Winds of Battle, “Okay, there then!”

“En.”

Lin Xi pulled the reins and said, “Lu Li head over with me, let’s chope the spot first!”

“Okay---”

……

In the next moment, Lin Xi rode the White Deer forwards and I chased her. The two of us passed through the NPCs’ heavy cannons, archers and spearmen and further ahead was the wilderness. I said loudly to the NPCs and players, “With You has chosen this spot so please move aside a little, thank you---”

Lin Xi drew a line beside Winds of Battle’s formation and Fallen Frost Sword caused a mark on the ground. White Deer also left its silver prints. Lin Xi said word by word, “With You is taking this spot, please give us some face, thank you---”

“Cough cough!”

On the frontline, Zilong held his sword and smiled, “Brothers pay attention, our brother guild With You is coming to our right, not bad not bad---”

Winds of Battle laughed and someone said, “With You has always been S+ on the battlefield, with them on our right, at least our right side won’t collapse!”

Someone else said, “Right, now we need to pay attention not to collapse ourselves!”

Zilong touched his nose, “You brats, be more confident. We won’t collapse unless we all die…”

“...”

Lin Xi and I were like two arrows that shot into the two sides. After which, Cal, Haotian, Heaven Morque etc led the Sika Deer Cavalries into the battlefield to form the first defence line. Shen Mingxuan, Gu Ruyi led the ranged players to form the second line. Next was Light Lotus, Little Bell etc who led the support team. Not long later, With You’s 6000 were lined up and filled up this empty region.

……

“Dong dong dong---”

In the distance, the war drums sounded out like thunder. The Pioneer Army was tempted to move. On our right, Silver Frost Army’s formation was even more east. It was a red patch. The flame armored cavalries were in front and beside them were the heavy infantry and archers. This was Winter Sun City’s most elite Flame Army. Behind them was a huge chariot and on it was an old general. He was Guan Yang.

Zhenyang Duke Guan Yang, a famous general in charge of the north of Xuanyuan Empire, he was the pillar of the empire in the north. He held a tea cup and looked into the distance, “Dimension Legion still wants to head down south. This time we can only go all out and block them north of the corridor. We need to protect the corridor so we can stab a needle into the north. That would make Pioneer Forest, Flame Plains and Frost Forest feel uneasy!”

“Don’t worry duke!”

A general held his blade and looked forward with a determined gaze, “For the future of the human race and for our wives behind us, we will fight to the death---”

“Okay!”

Guan Yang stood up and raised his blade, “Their evil spirits have never respected us, this time we will show them our courage and determination. They will never make us give up, our fighting spirit will always exist!”

The soldiers raised their weapons, “Kill! Kill! Kill!”

……

The NPC army was swearing allegiance and us players were shocked. Zhen Yang Duke’s few words made them all pumped up. Xuanyuan Empire really was strong, as compared to the humans in Destiny, Xuanyuan Empire was more like a main character.

At that moment, the war drums on the plains got more and more intense. More Pioneer Army units appeared and they started to attack us!”

“Attack!”

A general rode a decomposing dragon and he was covered in green armor. He held a spear and his face was below a helmet and one could only see his threatening gaze. He was the frontline commander of the Pioneer Army and he pointed his spear forwards, “Warriors of Pioneer Army, it is time to charge. Make your enemies tramble, we will collect their souls and shatter their weak bodies. Kill them, be the pioneers and conquerers of land!”

The huge Pioneer Army was here. There was a variety of troops. Pioneer Ghouls that were walking on the ground, Pioneer Cavalries, Blood Giants, there were also flying Flame Eagles.

“Good timing!”

Guan Yang raised his blade and smiled, “Warriors fight!”

“Peng peng peng---”

The ground shook as the cannons behind us fired. Flames shot through the sky and landed in the monsters, causing many mushroom clouds to appear. The Pioneer Cavalries and ghouls in the center were blown to shreds. Some cannonballs even exploded in the sky and blew up a bunch of Flame Eagles.

“They are here!”

I removed the war horse state and stood at the front of the formation. I smiled, “Ground troops are easy, frontline block them. Pay attention to the eagles. Mages use your shields and don’t hold back on mana. Just keep drinking potions!”

I directly charged forwards with my daggers right into a bunch of PIoneer Cavalries. I summoned Orange Night, White Bird and started to kill them. If it was just them, Pioneer Ghouls and Blood Giants, they were of no threat to me at all. Maybe they could insta kill me when I was 20 levels weaker but now even if they focused me they couldn’t.

“Ang ang---”

Flame Eagles flashed above. This was our real threat. When they were flapping their wings and were planning to attack our frontline, I used Apprehension. Lighting, storm and fire intersected and this dealt huge damage to those units in the skies. Their health started to drop and in a blink, many were down to low health.

“Good chance!”

Heaven Morque sunk down and said, “Paladin brothers, Holy Spear. Don’t let everyone think that we can only tank and heal, we are also fighting cavalries!”

A group of them roared and golden spears appeared in their hands which they tossed into the skies. In the next second, they turned into golden light that smashed into the monsters. It was an AOE skill that damaged things in a line and the damage was quite high. Many Flame Eagles fell to that.

“Backline!”

Ruyi shouted, “Focus the eagles and clear them first. We can relax on the ground troops first!”

Ruyi, Shen Mingxuan, Light Frost, Heaven Timber etc ranged players attacked. Explosions rang out in the skies and many eagles were ripped apart by the spells and arrows. They fell downwards like rain. With You’s ranged squad was too strong now and we crushed these low level flying units.

……

On the wings, Silver Frost Army’s shield formation moved forwards to stab the Pioneer Cavalries with spears. The Archers on the back continued to fire at the eagles. Along with the cavalries that cultivated skills that could kill the eagles in the sky. They managed to suppress them. Winds of Battle on the left were also fighting well. Although they had losses but they were able to stabilise.

If Valen wanted to rely on them to conquer us, that was impossible. These were just here to provide experience and points.

“Bunch of trash!”

In the sky, the general held his spear and said, “Scoff, I knew that it was impossible to rely on you trash to defeat the humans. You attacks are so powerless, did you all betray us and join the humans?”

“We are wronged!”

The Pioneer Cavalries raised their heads, “We have tried our best…”

“Scram!”

He roared and swept his spear to knock aside a bunch of them, “Attack and continue to attack. Those who retreat will die!”

At that moment, there was another voice, “Pioneer Forest’s Demon General really is fiesty!”

“En?”

The general glanced and saw a body that was covered in ice. It was an Ice Demon Dragon and its wings felt like it was covering the entire sky. Its scales all gave off a cold energy but in some areas, its bones were revealed. This was an ice dragon that had died a long time ago and was resurrected. It was just a dead dragon with ice powers. On its back was a general with blue armor holding a sword, “Since Pioneer Forest can’t take them down, why not let our Northern Frost Forest try? His Majesty Frost King doesn’t want to wait for too long.”

“Since that is the case… Please go ahead!”

The general raised his spear and smiled coldly, “Pioneer Army retreat, let our allies attack first!”
