Chapter 731 – The Hand of Waterloo

“What’s the bad news?” I asked .

Dong Cheng replied, “I just got a message from Tang Qi that idiot . Apparently 120 of [Hero’s Mound] cavalry players had been surrounded on Breezy Plains . Moon City’s [Dawn] guild had used five hundred cavalry to completely destroy them . They moved incredibly fast and surrounded [Hero’s Mound]’s players on three fronts . Q-Sword seems to be in some trouble . Nevermind it's ok, we’ll just ignore them… . ”

“Huh? Ignore them?” I couldn’t tell if I should cry or laugh, “[Hero’s Mound] is one of the Chinese Server’s top guilds . If we just leave them to die, then it’ll affect our morale when the news gets back to our players . Seeing as we’re already here, then we’ll just give them a hand!”

Li Mu raised his sword and cut in, “Bro, the Breezy Plains are enormous . All I see is grass . I don’t see a single [Hero’s Mound] player . ”

I nodded, “Ok, Dong Cheng, where’s Tang Qi!”

Dong Cheng replied, “He’s just south of us, around ten minutes away . ”

“Then let’s hurry!”

I pulled out my Dragon Reservoir sword and smiled . In order to explain everything, I added, “We only have forty players, so we need to be conscious that if we can save the [Hero’s Mound] players, we will, but if we can’t, then we’ll rely on the movement speed of our mounts and run away . Later on, we’ll act as we see fit . Pay attention to the team chat for any of my orders and don’t get too deep into the battle . ”

Star Scar said, “Brother Xiao Yao, don’t worry, we understand . We also know that it’d be impossible for the forty of us to completely destroy the five hundred cavalry . [Dawn] is the French Server’s number one guild, and they will not be weak . ”

“Exactly . Let’s go!”

……

We dashed forward . Wan Er was thrown back into my chest from the force of the inertia . She blushed and opened her mouth, as though she wanted to say something, but nothing came out .

As we sped up our advance, the wind on the Breezy Plains also steadily grew . The heavy hooves of the Steel Blade Horsemen pounded against the ground . Everyone had entered a full out gallop state . Within a few minutes, furls of dust curled up into the air . There was a group of people fighting right before us . Among them were several players that carried the Chinese Flag next to their names . It was the players from [Hero’s Mound]! They only had 70 mounts left and were completely surrounded by 400 of the [Dawn] mounts . I could faintly see Q-Sword charge against the crowd . But as before, he could not pierce through .

[Dawn] was using a Mobile Encirclement type of strategy . There was a total of three layers to their formation . It was a simple yet effective strategy . It was like a large millstone . When the [Hero’s Mound] players charged outward, they would be crushed to bits like a speck of grain . Even though Q-Sword had killed several people at once, he still couldn’t kill them all and was at a loss on how to proceed .

“D*mn… . ”

Old K’s eyes widened, “So even Q-Sword would have a day like this? He looks pretty pitiful . There’s so many [Hero’s Mound] players on the ground, this is great… . ”

Li Mu said, “How should we proceed?”

I grit my teeth, “There’s no other way but to fight them head on . Once we’ve been trapped by [Dawn] then it’d be hard for us to even try leaving . We can only charge straight ahead and bring the [Hero’s Mound] players out . As long as we can make it out of this forest, then the [Dawn] players won’t be able to chase after us . Everyone follow my command and charge with me! I will use [Thundering Heavens] to open up our path and make a break in their formation . Afterwards, we’ll charge right in and help the [Hero’s Mound] players retreat . Once they reform their formation, I’ll activate [Ice Domain] . Wan Er, use your special skill [Heaven’s Lullaby] and stun them all for as long as you can!”

“Yes!”

I clicked my wrists and my Dragon Reservoir Sword began to glow . I charged forward on my horse while the nineteen horses behind me also dashed forward . The [Dawn] players were at the height of their excitement in this massacre . Only the outer circle had noticed our people . However, they probably thought that our numbers were too few, and didn’t pay much attention to us . All they did was send out thirty players to go and deal with us .

“He he!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle . These French players are actually looking down on our twenty horsemen! Then it’s about time that pay for that mistake!

“Kill!”

I threw a [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and swung out both swords . I surged forward in a spiral motion, cutting through the crowds . Blood and flesh flew into the air . Li Mu and Wang Jian each let out a flurry of skills . Added on with Old K’s [Whirlwind Slash] and in the blink of an eye, we had cut down all thirty of the horsemen . But the players from [Dawn] really were pretty strong . Even after we threw a heap of AOE attacks on them, a dozen still charged at us after being showered in blood . They didn’t seem affected by [Zhan Long]’s battle power in the slightest .

I swung my blades and cut one of the knight’s shields right in half . I urged my horse forward and was already beginning to deal my attack on the edges of the formation . Now that I was faced with these moving players, I waved my hand and activated [Thundering Heavens] . The skies immediately darkened and bolts of lightning surged through the clouds and struck the ground . Countless lightning dragons burst through the ground and dealt an onslaught of damage .

“D*mmit!”

One of the team leaders roared, “That person’s skill is incredibly strong, hurry up and avoid it!”

But all was too late . Twenty people had died under my [Thundering Heavens] attack . Plus, my Dragon Reservoir Sword’s [Kill For Blood] had reached forty levels, which increased my attack power by 40%!

Among the crowds, a person suddenly roared out, “Expand the circle! Cut off their escape route!”

A line of golden words appeared above the person’s head . I knew with a single look that he was a reputable player in Moon City——

Hand of Waterloo LV 126 Star Flame Swordsman

City: Moon City

Guild: [Dawn]

Position: Guildmaster

French Battlenet Ranking: 1

……

法國戰網第一人，NND，我們第一次來望月城居然遇到這麼棘手的對手了！

Motherf*cker, it’s the number one player on the French Battlenet . Who knew the first enemy we meet in Moon City would be such a strong opponent!

Under the command of the guildmaster of [Dawn], a group of people charged at us, and filled up the opening that I had made with my [Thundering Heavens] . Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Old K were not going to sit by and watch . Li Mu swung his sword and shouted, “Ram them! Protect the [Hero’s Mound] players’ retreat!”

Matcha, Meng Yao and Wang Jian all charged forward, and used their Steel Blade Horses to ram into the enemy . In the end, bangs rang throughout the battlefield . Looks like the horsemen of the [Dawn] guild were still slightly lower than ours, as they were pushed back several steps and blocked by the [Zhan Long] horses .

In the distance I shouted, “Q-Sword, what are you waiting for? Take your players and retreat! There are more and more of them!”

Q-Sword grit his teeth and pointed straight at the opening and roared, “Retreat! Don’t fight with them any longer . Brothers that have died, wait to revive after they’ve left!”

……

“You want to leave?!”

Among the crowd of people, Hand of Waterloo steered his black battle horse faster them . With a shout, he shocked one of the [Hero’s Mound] knights and struck his sword right into the knight’s shield . “Keng!” He knocked away the shield and roared, “GTFO!”

The shield was knocked away . Hand of Waterloo immediately activated [Blade Rush] and then followed the attack with an SS tier combo —— [Dawn Slash]!

Four continuous attacks landed on the knight’s chest, immediately emptying his health . He then leapt up and threw another combo followed with a final [Sky Shaker Slash]!

“Peng!”

“17271！”

The enormous damage number had shocked even me . Just how high was that b*st*rd’s attack power? He was actually able to cut down that much health from such a high leveled knight? Even if that was a combo, that last attack shouldn’t have been that heavy, right?

“Chase after them!”

Hand of Waterloo chased after them . His bloody blade was like the hands of fate, which cut down the [Hero’s Mound] players that lagged behind, one by one . It was as though he was displaying the strength of the French Servers to us .

……

“Let’s go!”

Q-Sword raised his sword and shielded the retreat of his players . There were more and more [Dawn] players that were gathering in the area . [Hero’s Mound] players were continuously falling of their horses and dying . Several of the twenty knights that [Zhan Long] had brought were also down to critical health . Thankfully nobody had died . However, Hand of Waterloo was already catching up . If he managed to reach us, then the consequences would be dire .

“Shua!” Wan Er slid from my lap and softly said, “Pig, I’m going to hold off those swordsmen . You go and attack Hand of Waterloo . After holding them off for ten seconds, use your skills to stop them and then run!”

“Ok!”

I gripped my sword and charged at Hand of Waterloo . My beautiful girlfriend then picked up her dagger and charged at a group of French Swordsmen . The moment she clashed with them, she had immediately blocked a [Blade Rush] . Her beautiful figure spun in the air and the three attacks from [Blade of the Death God] had landed right on the swordsman’s neck . It seems that he was ranked forty seventh on the French Battle Net, but he was still killed in that instant .

She then turned around and pulled out her Iron Umbrella . “Keng keng!” sparks flew and she had parried off the other attacks from the swordsmen . Wan Er waved her hand and activated [Arrival of the Death God] . She flew up while maintaining her balance . “Shua Shua!” her dagger flicked through the crowd, and cut into each of the players’ necks and wrists, and aimed precisely at their weak points . However, Wan Er’s body nimbly dashed from side to side, dodging all of the attacks . In reality, it was her Mind reading skill at play . After all, she could guess the next moves of any non expert players .

With the cover from Wan Er, I charged right at Hand of Waterloo . The two of us didn’t try any tricks and just fought face to face . “Keng!” I felt my wrist go numb . Hand of Waterloo slid back half a step . A sliver of shock raced through his eyes, as though he was stunned that someone as strong as I was in the Chinese Servers .

“Not bad!”

Hand of Waterloo had actually gotten more excited . He whooped and suddenly threw another faster attack . I didn’t even have the time to react with my Battle Reflux strategy . A flame appeared on his blade, it was the SS tier skill—— [Star Flame Slash]!

The skill dealt five attacks . I managed to block some of the strikes with my Brilliant Flame Emperor . I then immediately threw out my Dragon Reservoir Sword in a stab!

“Pu!”

“9179！”

He frowned . I quickly followed the attack with a Level 12 [Combo]+Level 12 [Sword Tempest] . Hand of Waterloo’s defense we pretty good . He managed to take that many hits and still not die . He gripped his sword with both hands and threw another heavy attack, [Star Flame Slash]!

“12211！”

Such a fierce attack! I felt a shudder run through my body . At the same time, I knew that my chance had come . I suddenly grabbed his wrist guard and pulled him towards myself . At the same time, light began to glow under my feet and I activated [Strength of a Thousand Men] + [Wind Blade] at the same time .

“Not good!”

Hand of Waterloo had a stunning reaction time . In that moment, he activated [Blade Rush], dodgin my [Strength of a Thousand Men] . At the same time, he activated [Star Flame Shield] and a golden light enveloped him . Not far from me, I heard Wan Er’s voice, “Hurry up and leave! You can’t kill him!”

I nodded and retreated . I reached out and pulled a critically wounded Wan Er onto my horse . I used [Charge] right into the opening and dashed out with the [Hero’s Mound] players . We had successfully shielded their retreat!

……

[Ice Domain]!

[Heaven’s Lullaby]!

After the two skills activated, all of the [Dawn] players were frozen in place . I could see the look of determination and unwillingness in the eyes of Hand of Waterloo . He grit his teeth as he was frozen in place .
