Zhan Yue Novel - Chapter 427
Chapter 427- Valen
“Pu pu pu—”
Blood splattered. Three human race shield soldiers fell to the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalry’s sword. The small shield soldiers couldn’t block the attacks of the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries. Moreover, they were level 104 Legendary Grade monsters while the human race soldiers were level 95 Unique Grade NPCs, the gap was quite huge.
“Sir!”
A general holding a shield stumbled back and knelt down onto the ground with one knee. His eyes were blood red, “Sir, our soldiers… We can’t stop their attacks. Please let us retreat, if not our brothers will become their training dummies!”
“No retreating!”
The general’s gaze turned cold, “Scram back and defend. Even if one soldier remains, we will have to hold them back. Trust me, their deaths are worth it!”
“Okay!”
…
20 minutes later.
The human race soldiers were reduced and only a third of them remained. The Archers on the backline panicked and one could tell that they were about to get charged on by the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries! In front of the heavy shield soldiers, the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries line up the entire wilderness. They waved their blades and wanted to charge forwards.
At that moment, the ground started shaking from behind the city walls!
“Peng peng peng peng–”
That… Was the sound of the human race cannons!
In the next second, 50 yards in front of our formation, numerous red mushroom clouds rose into the sky. The cannonfire density was really strong and in pretty much an instance half the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries were wiped out. The cannons continued to fire!
“Pu!”
The moment Darkness Dragon Tooth pierced the body of a Blood Flame Spirit Cavalry, shockwaves spread over. I tried my best to stand still. At the same time, I grabbed Moonlight Firefly’s arm. Not far from us, Assassin brothers with lower strength flew from the waves. These shockwaves continued and many people cried out as they were flung aside.
After a few waves, the huge group of Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries was cleared out.
All that remained were cannon holes and also mutilated corpses around!
This wave of Blood Flame Spirit Cavalry attacks was solved. Like what that NPC general said, those soldiers didn’t die for nothing. Their deaths caused the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalry to clump up. If not, the cannons wouldn’t have gotten such a result.
…
“Damn…”
Mundane Slaughter frowned, “The NPC army is the main character of this wave, we are just playing along.”
“That is true.”
I smiled, “After all our strength is limited. We should try our best and just watch them perform. I am used to this already.”
He shushed me, “It seems like you have been a side character in the hidden race storyline right?”
“Of course, if I tried to stand out every time, I would be wiped out.”
“Wiped out?”
Mundane Slaughter was shocked, “What is wiped out?”
“I mean, the moment I die, my account would be deleted. Over 80% of my quests in the hidden race is like that, as long as I die, that account is gone.”
“Damn!”
Mundane Slaughter’s pupils constricted, “This… This is too cruel? Is this a game for people?”
I waved and smiled, “I never felt that Illusionary Moon is a real game. From my experience, it only provided a world. How far one can reach depends on oneself. Maybe we are the ones playing them!”
Moonlight Firefly’s eyes lit up, “Everyone said that Brother Seven took advantage of the system. Brother Seven is able to get to this stage mainly because of his ability right.”
“You praise me too much, Moonlight Firefly…” I smiled awkwardly, “To say something bad, sometimes I feel like I am being protected by some power. If not I would have died long ago.”
Moonlight Firefly couldn’t understand and she smiled, “Anyways I know that Brother Seven is the best!”
Ah Fei’s mouth twitched, “Moonlight Firefly is strong…”
…
Not long later, the 4th wave ended too. On the leaderboards, I was far ahead at the top–
1. July Wildfire Level 101 Assassin Points: 45282
2. Yanshi Bumou Level 100 Mage Points: 32120
3. Lin Xi Level 101 Warrior Points: 30187
4. Feng Canghai Level 101 Warrior Points: 29912
5. Fengxian Level 101 Warrior Points: 29001
6. Mars River Level 100 Mage Points: 28819
7. Xuande Level 100 Archer Points: 28716
8. Yanshi Bugong Level 100 Warrior Points: 26912
9. Old Mountain Level 100 Archer Points: 25538
10. Yanshi Stargazer Level 99 Stargazer Points: 24911
…
The rankings of the top ten players didn’t change, just that the points started to grow further. Especially my lead to Yanshi Bumou, I was a full 13000 points ahead. Lin Xi and Yanshi Bumou’s gap was growing too. There was nothing she could do as she was a Warrior. She had AOE skills but the CD was long. She definitely couldn’t use White Star all the way. Feng Canghai and Winds of Battle Fengxian were closer to Lin Xi and Yanshi Bugong was ranked 8th.
To a certain extent, Yanshi Bugong, Feng Canghai, Fengxian and Lin Xi were all top players and were famous on the server. The four of them were relatively close in terms of skill and their chances of winning each other was 50 50. But Yanshi Bugong’s monster killing ability was lower than the other three. But that was fine, it didn’t mean much. After all, Yanshi Bugong’s ranking was made up by Yanshi Bumou. He was second in Winter Sun City and was only lower than me. That attracted a lot of attention.
“Di!”
A message came from Fengxian, “Brother, how are you doing this? Damn… You are actually so much ahead of us?”
“Maybe my skills are stronger.”
I waved and replied, “You also saw, after all I have a hidden job and my skills have many advantages and AOE.”
“That is not the only reason right!”
He laughed, “I saw that there was a guy and girl beside you. They didn’t look like players, are they human shaped pets?”
“You can say so, you saw that?”
I smiled awkwardly, “They are Battle Puppets and are similar to pets. I was lucky to get them.”
“Oh oh, are you selling them? If you do I am willing to buy one for a high price. You can set the price!”
“I only have two, this thing is similar to Dragon Descending 18 palms.”
“Dragon Descending 18 Palms?”
He laughed, “You are quite funny, I really don’t know why Lin Xi chased you out. Such a talent like you will attract attention everywhere? Lin Xi actually kicked you out…”
“You don’t understand what happened between us so just don’t talk about it!”
“Hahaha, okay, good luck. I have to work hard to get top 10.”
“En.”
…
Time passed bit by bit.
This wave was similar to the third wave and there were actually no new Bosses. Everyone had a lot of fun and many players were actually killed by the Blood Flame Spirit Cavalries and Bonecrushers. While the 4th wave ended, a storm brewed. Dark clouds and snowflakes danced in the sky like a storm was about to descend.
Suddenly, my heart felt like it was being crushed. My Darkness Spiritual Ruin started to shake and an extreme power was descending. The last time I felt such an aura was from Fire Demon Witch Soora. Was she here?
Didn’t look like it, Soora wasn’t from Pioneer Army!
“Hong~~”
In the sky, streaks of lightning glow were released. A shadow descended along with it and he was a young general. He held a bright halberd and a storm wrapped around his body which gave off a barbaric and ancient power. He looked really handsome. he looked at Extreme Dust Mountain and smiled, “Crescent Moon Marquis Li Chengyun… Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect the first time I step foot here I will be able to kill one of Xuanyuan Empire’s Marquis! Hahaha~~~~”
He stood in the sky and shouted, “Li Chengyun, come out and die. Don’t let these shrimps die for you!”
My heart shook and I said in the guild channel, “Listen to my orders, force steal and spread out! Don’t stand together with the NPC army, quick!”
I used Quickness and charged towards the back while hugging Moonlight Firefly’s waist. The moment we retreated, the guy waved his halberd and shouted, “Since you are a coward then feel the power of the ancients!”
“Hong–”
The halberd swept across the sky and instantly turned into a giant mountain. A thick aura swept across where we originally stood. Instantly, the players and NPCs turned into dust and snow. Damage numbers above a million rose up, it was truly shocking!
…
“Damn!”
Feng Canghai just dodged that attack. He looked at the Boss in the sky and his face was filled with astonishment, “Damn, he is the 8th ranked Dimension legion Lord– Pioneer Valen! Damn…”
! ! ! ! ! ! !
