Zhan Yue-Chapter 678- I am here!
“How is it, did you notice anything?” Lin Xi asked.
“A little.”
I raised my hand and after activating Shifang Flame Spiral Eye I could see a little further. I was able to see the entire front of the castle. I landed on the left and it was connected to the mountains at the side. Layers of stone were covered by frost.
I marked it on the map and shared it with the management-level players, “There is a high ground here that is 10 meters from the highest wall of the castle. The wall is around 30 meters so we would pay a huge price if we attack it head on, it would be tough to get in within a short time. Let’s head over there and occupy this place. We can use our agility players to climb up and then bring the heavy armored and light armored players up. We can occupy this and shoot the monsters on the walls to get points.”
“Sure.”
Light Lantern nodded, “The high ground is quite large, enough for 5000+ defending troops.”
“Right.”
I looked ahead and at that moment, there was a creak and the castle gates opened up. Dense Pioneer Army troops surged out like a wave. In the air there was a general riding a bone dragon who hollered, “The humans are close. You lazy bugs, scram out of the castle to battle!”
“They are coming!”
Lin Xi saw those scenes and said, “The land around will be covered by these monsters, let’s quickly occupy the high ground if not we won’t be able to get there.”
“En!”
I nodded, “Let’s head out. Ranged and support players head up. Heavy armored players surround the high ground and form a defensive formation.”
“Haha, let’s head out!”
……
I summoned the mount and rode forwards with the With You cavalries. The first row of players sliced the Pioneer Cavalries that charged over and we suppressed their movement, giving the ranged players a chance to enter. After 20 minutes, 9500+ of our online members surrounded this area.
“...”
Shen Mingxuan looked towards the wall and around 20 meter away, there were many armored dimension legion troops there. A Storm Arrow would definitely blow them up. She asked carefully, “They are within range, what should we do. Can we attack?”
“Not yet.”
I shook my head, “The main human force is not here yet, if we attack we will be targetted by everyone. They will all attack us and we would be finished!”
“Right!”
Light Lantern said to the ranged players, “Brothers, calm down and lower your weapons, don’t misfire. If the entire guild gets wiped, you will be punished!”
All of a sudden, everyone was both nervous and excited. We just waited for the battle to arrive.
……
Not long later, two bells rang out. Legend, Elements each took down the two S Grade strongholds. Limitless, Winds of Battle etc all took down A Grade one. The humans also started to appear within the Snow Eagle Castle.
With You’s advantage wasn’t that obvious anymore. One S Grade area allowed Legend and Elements to catch up---
With You Level 7 Points: 360
Legend Level 7 Points: 270
Elements Level 7 Points: 250
Winds of Battle Level 7 Points: 160
Limitless Level 7 Points: 130
House of Prestige Level 7 Points: 130
Prague Level 7 Points: 130
Heavenly Cave Level 7 Points: 110
Vanguard Level 7 Points: 110
Dragonrider Hall Level 7 Points: 100
……
This also meant that if we couldn’t take Snow Eagle Castle down, we would give up our first place. This was an outcome that no one was willing to accept.
Around us, With You had started to exchange fire with the surging monsters. These monsters were basically all Pioneer Cavalries and Pioneer Ghouls, cannon fodder that Valen was proud of. They were also our top choice for points. When other groups were forming up in the distance, With You had begun.
Fengxian, Yanshi Bugong, Feng Canghai, Dawn etc looked over at us in shock but as they were too far, I couldn’t hear their words. However, I could guess that they were definitely cursing, “Damn, what is With You doing, why are they there?”, “What is with you trying?”, etc words.
Looking at them, I wanted to laugh. With You had to do something, if we didn’t do anything different, we would be forced out. Since our skill wasn’t there, we had to find another way. This was something that I believed in.
“Dong dong dong---”
In the distance, the drums sounded. A very majestic chariot pushed forwards and on it was the highest-ranked commander of this battle-- Zhenyang Duke Guan Yang. The old general held his blade and stood above. He looked at the Snow Eagle Castle and looked emotional, “Snow Eagle Castle… I thought that I wouldn’t see you ever again!”
He raised his voice and said firmly, “Human warriors, open your eyes and look ahead. This is Snow Eagle Castle. 300 years ago, this was the territory of the famous Snow Eagle Marquis. That year, he roamed north and south and forced the dimension legion back. Now, Snow Eagle Castle has fallen for over a hundred years. Our people have died here and traces of humans have been lost. We are here to restore the glory and reclaim our land!”
“Restore glory, reclaim land!”
“Restore glory, reclaim land!”
“Restore glory, reclaim land!”
……
The soldiers raised their weapons and their eyes were filled with fighting intent. Guan Yang pointed his blade into the distance and shouted, “Begin! Take back Snow Eagle Castle! Today, East River Corridor, it will return to the empire!”
“Kill!”
On the ground, heavy shield soldiers, spearmen, cavalries etc charged forwards.
In the sky, a bright light flashed across and turned into an arrogant figure. He was in a white robe and had white hair. His body was covered in frost. He was the legendary Frost King. He held a snow colored death staff and smiled, “With you? You want to take down Snow Eagle Castle?”
Frost King raised his staff and said, “Endless storm, sweep them--- Snow Storm!”
“Be careful, it’s a spell!”
The area became really heavy and cold. With a loud thud, his staff summoned a shocking storm. Everything was freezing. Those cavalries and infantry that had charged far in front were frozen to the spot. Ice energy rose up and none of them could move. They either maintained their charging form, were holding their weapons or were ordering their horses forwards. They were wrapped in ice!
“Shua!”
Cold continued to surge forwards and it was killing everything in its way!
At that moment, a figure flew into the sky. It was Senior Sister Yun. She slashed out with the White Dragon Sword and golden energy sliced the sky. Wherever it passed, that spell was dissolved. After that slash, the Frost King’s spell only reached 20% of its effect. Most of its killing ability was ended right away!
But there were still tens of thousands of soldiers that were frozen in the snow. Their bodies turned into broken pieces of ice, falling onto the ground. All of them just died to the spell.
“This…”
Guan Yang gritted his teeth and looked at Frost King, “Jerk… Jerk…”
“Jing Yun Yue!”
Frost King held his staff and his face was filled with viciousness, “What does the East River Corridor have to do with you? Why are you being a busybody?”
“Dragon Region and the humans have an alliance, that is something everyone knows about.”
In the wind, Senior Sister Yun held her sword and looked at him, “Moreover, Dragon Region and the Dimension Legion Territory are enemies. Because of you, Black Castle was wiped out and then we transformed into Dragon Region. I should thank you, I will use your destruction to thank you!”
“Scoff, do you have the ability?”
Frost King hollered and he summoned a star with his Death Frost Staff, “Handle my attacks first!”
“Weng!”
The Ice Star exploded in the sky and turned into an ice mountain that smashed toward Senior Sister Yun. At the same time, Frost King laughed, “I moved an entire mountain. That is my gift to you. Even if you can crush it, it will smash the ants under your feet. What can you do Jing Yun Yue, Head of Dragon Region?”
“Jerk…”
Senior Sister Yun bit her teeth and said, “Sylvia, help me!”
“I am here.”
Sylvia appeared. She flew up and turned into her dragon form but she looked really gentle.
Senior Sister Yun pointed her fingers forward and flames shot out. She used Blistering Flame Finger several times at the ice mountain, turning it into hundreds of ice blocks. At that moment, Sylvia roared and used her skill. Those hundred ice pieces flew in the opposite direction.
“Peng peng peng---”
The ground was in chaos. Ice mountains descended from above and smashed into the Dimension Legion Army. My mouth was agape as many of them flew towards With You.
“Damn!”
Ah Fei and Light Lantern cursed at the same time.
“Sylvia!”
I used Darkness Transformation to draw her attention and shouted, “Pay attention, I am here!”
“I saw you!”
She roared and flapped her wings, moving those few pieces that were flying toward us.
“Keng…”
Ah Fei sat on the ground, “I nearly peed my pants…”
