Chapter 1563: Irreconcilable Differences

"What!!"

Fang jolted in surprise but couldn’t do anything to stop it. Coiling Dragon Revolution cut right through his shield and body, triggering a massive damage number—

3,018,271!

To my surprise, the guy wasn’t dead yet. He must have over ten million max HP, not to mention that his priests were healing him non-stop. Of course, their spells were nowhere as good as Murong Mingyue’s Kiss of the Goddess of Life.

Swhoosh!

I dashed up to him like lightning and stopped about a meter away from him. After my sword had returned to me, I asked him with a smirk, "So? Still think that Chinese dogs are weak, idiot?"

"You!"

Fang erupted, his expression full of frustration. "Get out of my way!"

I swept the Dihai Shield horizontally to parry his axe swing. At the same time, I brought my sword down and struck him in the neck. My attack was so powerful that his head was sent flying from his shoulders. Before it could fly too far away, I jumped into the air and gave it a mighty kick!

Swhoosh!

Fang’s head slammed against the shield of the guy Yeye the Witch was hiding behind. The archer turned green as she uttered, "You and I will forever be enemies, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"

……

"So be it!"

My eyes turned chilly as I dashed toward her with explosive speed. I cut down the players blocking my way so that my Mad God Lunge wouldn’t trigger prematurely. Both Yeye the Witch and the magic knight protecting her let out involuntary groans as they were pushed a dozen meters to the back. I wanted to kill Yeye the Witch first so that Cyan Beast would be demoralized and without a capable commander.

Golden light illuminated the area. Ancient Seal came crashing down at her at high speed!

"Ah!"

Yeye the Witch hurriedly Leaped to the back. She was just an archer, so there was no way she could withstand my Ancient Seal. Also, she was well aware that a player of my caliber would have 2,000 Tactics at least. It didn’t take a genius to know how much damage it would do if it hit!

"Stop him!"

A group of Cyan Beast players immediately swarmed me and struck me with their Barrier Breaks. Even more Mountain Stagger Arrows and Shock Arrows struck me from every direction. Unfortunately for them, being divine effectively gave me infinite mount tenacity, meaning that the Mountain Stagger Arrows were all but wasted. Moreover, I had activated Profound Armor beforehand to reduce the effectiveness of Barrie Break to a minimum.

I arched my body slightly and rose about half a meter above ground. Then, I whipped my sword at a magic knight and knocked both him and his mount to the ground. Planting a foot on his shield, I activated a midair Thunderous Charge!

Swhoosh!

Yeye the Witch was dead the moment the skill stunned her. I plunged my sword into the beautiful Indian’s stomach and cast my Burning Blade Slash—

2,987,723!

3,418,772!

4,126,634!

Eyes full of defiance until the end, she slowly slid to the ground and died.

Ding!

System Announcement: Attention all players, player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) killed the Temple Guard player "Yeye the Witch" (India) and obtained 10% of their contribution points, 192,371 points!

……

The tables were turned immediately after Yeye the Witch’s demise. The Indian troops became demoralized, and the shield formations on the frontline grew increasingly unstable. Not about to give them the time to recover, Li Chengfeng unleashed his Crimson Firmament Slash, Heaven’s Rain her Tiger Wing Slash, and He Yi her Chengying and Hangguang–empowered Stormwind Slash. Together, they utterly annihilated several hundred meters of the defense line and allowed the Dragonlight Cavalrymen to penetrate with ease. One moment later, countless Ultimate Strength Breaks fell on top of the enemy ranged players like meteors!

"Kill! Obliterate them!" Xu Yang shouted in excitement as he charged forward with the Omnislash in hand. Beside him, a smiling Chaos Moon teased him, "Try not to die too ugly a death, okay Xu Yang? You are the head of the Four Elders of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. It would demoralize our troops if your death was too unsightly. Of course, I’m warning you because you’re the easiest to kill out of all Four Elders. My dear Lu Chen doesn’t have such a problem!"

Xu Yang rolled his eyes at her. "Since when did my brother become your dear?"

Suddenly, Chaos Moon cried out in warning, "Watch out!"

Xu Yang let out a furious roar as a volley of arrows turned his face into a porcupine’s back. His HP instantly dropped to less than 5%. One or two God Devil Breaks would probably be enough to send him to heaven.

It was at this moment Murong Mingyue appeared in the sky. She dropped Kiss of the Goddess of Life on Xu Yang and triggered a healing number that could only be described as impressive—

+10,226,691!

Xu Yang grinned. "Thanks, Mingyue!"

Murong Mingyue was flying in a face down position, so of course her amazing globes were being pulled down by gravity. The way they jiggled within her robes was mesmerizing to say the least. She shot Xu Yang a look and said, "You are an adult, so why are you making me babysit you like a baby?"

Xu Yang: "..."

……

Diamond Dust asked, "The Dragonlight Archers have arrived. Should they Far Shot?"

Beiming Xue answered, "Of course. Tell them to provide suppressive fire with the Spiraling Arrow Blade + Skypiercer combo. We would lose too many cavalrymen without it…"

Diamond Dust nodded understandingly. "Got it. We’ll punch through their square formation at the cost of 10,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen!"

Dust rolled across the battlefield. At the distance, Swallow Ear Canton looked like it might crumble at any moment, but in reality, the damn city had managed to hold out against our army for too long already. Its walls were crawling with Chinese players, but its defenders were able to repel them again and again. It was because all four walls had a couple of Dragon Cannons on them. This was the real reason Swallow Ear Canton was able to survive until now. In a sense, one might say that the Dragon Cannons had changed the course of fate of the Japan server. Without the siege weapons, we would’ve wiped out the server from the surface of Heavenblessed a long time ago!

A short while later, our Holy Mage Legion led by Moonlight Stone and Yu Tong had arrived as well. They asked me in the guild channel, "What strategy should we use, boss?"

I replied without hesitation, "Advance horizontally toward the enemy under the Zephyr Cavalry’s cover. Do not let a single Indian player escape this canyon."

"Got it. Is there anything else?"

I thought for a moment before adding, "Contact Cute Little Naughty from the eighth subguild and tell her to take her assassins and set up an ambush near Shattered Rock Forest. Tell her to trap the place and annihilate any Indian player who tries to withdraw through there!"

"Okay!"

Li Chengfeng asked, "What about us, Lu Chen? What is our strategy for this battle?"

I answered, "We’ll focus on taking out any reinforcements who try to save Swallow Ear Canton. Removing the enemy’s effective strength will serve to grease the wheels to fulfill our final objective!"

Li Chengfeng smiled. "Hehe, I get it…"

……

Beep!

Lin Yixin sent me a message: "I heard you’re attacking from the outside, Little Cheat?"

"Yep!" I replied. "Hang on, okay? We’ll meet up with you very soon. Muah!"

Lin Yixin turned on the communicator so she could speak with me directly. After the call had connected, she complained, "It’s such a difficult battle. We have to siege the city and endure Elephant City’s flank attacks!"

"Eh? Weren’t Hall of Immortality, Rose of the Holy Domain and three more top guilds from Vanished God City stalling them to the death at Final Duel Valley?"

"Stall my ass…" Lin Yixin said a bit angrily. "Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch is an idiot and a pig. I don’t know how, but he and his 500k somehow fell for Flowing Cloud’s taunt and were slaughtered INSIDE Final Duel Valley. Hall of Immortality is as good as history now that they’ve lost all of their levels and equipment. Rose of the Holy Domain and Throne Seeker didn’t do that well either. While they had the common sense to fight Natural Flow and Elephant City outside Final Duel Valley, Flowing Cloud managed to dig open a river and trap over 300k of their cavalrymen at a marshland. As a result, their ranged troops became separated from their melee troops, and Natural Flow was able to destroy them all one by one. Overall, Elephant City had single-handedly devoured several million troops with negligible losses. This defeat is on par to the one we suffered at Pharaoh Valley!"

I groaned. "For fuck’s sake… What the hell is going on here?"

Lin Yixin sighed. "If it wasn’t for that beautiful ambush battle you won at Falling Goose Valley, our players would have become too demoralized to fight a long time ago, so keep up the good work, dear. Take out all the Cyan Earth City forces surrounding us and meet up with us. Then, we’ll work together to eliminate Swallow Ear Canton once and for all. Right now, we’re thinking of a way to drop the Dragon Cannons on the walls, but their attack range is just too high. It’s so annoying. I have a bad feeling that we won’t be able to conquer the city until they’ve run out of Dragon Crystals…"

I consoled her, "It’s fine, there’s no hurry. We still have plenty of time left!"

"Kay. Do your best!"

"You too!"

……

The addition of the Holy Mages greatly improved the speed of our advance. In just less than two hours, Cyan Earth City’s player count had fallen below 3 million. The China server had lost over 2 million players in the battle, but we got a constant stream of reinforcements from White Rose Fortress and saw our troops swelling to 9 million or so. This meant that our total number of troops had actually grown bigger instead of smaller.

"Keep this up! Annihilate them all!"

I shouted while hunting down stragglers left and right. Several tens of thousands of Cyan Earth City players were breaking out of the encirclement and escaping in the direction of Shattered Rock Forest, but I paid them no heed because the eighth subguild was lying in wait with a whole forest of traps. They wouldn’t be making it out alive. As time passed, Warsky Alliance, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Protective Umbrella and Soul Battle Robes fought better and better. It was probably because we finally saw a victory after being on the defensive for such a long time. God of War and Breeze and Rain probably weren’t expecting the ten million troops they had left behind to save Swallow Ear Canton would be defeated by our mishmash of troops.

Suddenly, I spotted rising dust coming from the east of Swallow Ear Canton. I saw two armies were battling against one another.

I asked with a frown, "What’s going on there?"

He Yi answered, "Candle Dragon, Pop Culture, Thunder and more are fighting a decisive battle against Elephant City’s 18 million troops on the plains. Candlelight Shadow himself is attending to that battle. As of the latest report, they managed to kill 7 million troops at the cost of just 4 million."

I smiled. "Candlelight Shadow has finally awakened!"

Gui Guzi commented, "Seriously, this war would be unwinnable if even Candle Dragon couldn’t pull some of the weight."

……

It was at this moment a panting Xu Yang rode up to us and reported, "Boss Eve, Lu Chen, I just received word that Hero Alliance, Throne of the Wild, God Breaker and a dozen more major guilds are launching a frontal assault against Sky Ridge Fortress right now. They are also joined by God of War and Breeze and Rain’s 1 million Cyan Beast troops. Their total player count is expected to be 10 million or so!"

"Oh man, this is where the real headache is…" Li Chengfeng said with a bitter smile on his face.
