Chapter 1568: The Unrelenting God Bone

"Patience…"

I laughed. "Hasty men don't get to eat hot tofu[1]…"

Li Chengfeng groaned. "Don’t tempt me to punch you, man. You have no idea how painful it is for Little Gui and I to just sit here while everyone else is enjoying the action. Actually, how about you ask Lian Xin and Beiming Xue to replace us? It’s the same either way, right?"

While cutting down a Hero Alliance Iron Cutter Cavalryman, I said, "Absolutely not. Again, be patient. The chance will present itself eventually!"

Li Chengfeng sounded confused. "What chance?"

"The enemy’s ‘cowardice’, of course…" I chose my words carefully before beginning my explanation, "You are fighting at least 500k Throne of the Wild troops right now. Normally, they will have no problems chewing up and spitting out your 20k Dragonlight Cavalrymen if you attack them head-on. That is why you need to wait until Vienna’s Sorrow cries for help, and Tear Stain is forced to turn around and help him. The moment she does that, you and Little Gui will ride out with the Dragonlight Cavalry and holler that Throne of the Wild has lost. What happens after that, well, I don’t need to tell you, do I?"

Li Chengfeng couldn’t stop himself from chuckling. "OMG, that is so devious. I like it! Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. Our forces are fewer than the enemy’s, so we can’t tackle them head-on. Little Gui and I will wait a while longer then. Do kick Hero Alliance’s ass hard so that Tear Stain will pull back as early as possible, okay?"

I nodded. "We’ll do our best to give Hero Alliance and God Breaker the fright of their life. But you know, they still have over 200k Iron Cutter Cavalrymen, and my Dragonlight Cavalrymen are—"

Li Chengfeng’s eyes widened. "Stop right there! You think I don’t know what you’re doing? We’re going to fight against Throne of the Wild very soon, and you want us to give up more Dragonlight Cavalrymen to you? You may as well tell us to grab a poker, muster the engineers in the guild and capture Tear Stain alive to become your mistress of the fort! Don’t even think about it!"

I nearly spat blood at the unjust accusation. "Fuck you! Do I look like such a heartless person? I will never make such an unreasonable demand to you… that being said, surely you can fly Lu Buyi over to buff us with his Purple Dragon…?"

Li Chengfeng replied, "Pooh! Little Heavenly King my ass, I’ve never met such a shameless guild leader in my life! You can have Lu Buyi, but I demand that you trade us Beiming Xue. We can use her Xuanming Bow here…"

"You dare! No one lays a hand on my sister!"

"Fucking shameless! Cut the chatter and focus on killing already!"

……

I turned off the communicator. Right now, the Northern Alliance and us were more or less on even footing. I expected the side with the greater guts to turn this battle in their favor.

In the sky, Beiming Xue triggered a Xuanming Flame that burned a huge chunk of HP from a hundred Iron Cutter Cavalrymen and killed nearly half of them. The Xuanming Bow’s Attack was absolutely mind-boggling these days.

It was at this moment the system dinged all of a sudden, and Beiming Xue let out a surprised yelp. A sheen of golden light surrounded her body, and mini cyclones of Domain energy swirled beneath her feet. The Fire Phoenix also transformed into a rune on her arm—

Ding!

System Announcement: Player "Beiming Xue" (China) has the highest contribution points in this Nation War of her class. They have triggered a hidden condition to ascension and become a Law Divine Throne Guardian! They have obtained: "Unusual Physique", "Flight", "God Hunt", and "Mount Armor Transformation"!

……

"Wow, Beiming Xue has become a god…" He Yi exclaimed with pleasant surprise.

I looked up at the Dark Archer and asked, "What does God Hunt do, Beiming?"

Beiming Xue let out a hum before answering, "It increases my ranged attack power by 100%[2]..."

"Not bad at all!" I clapped my hands in delight. "Our luck is really good this Nation War. Who would’ve thought that two of our players would ascend via being the player with the highest contribution points in their class? Anyway, keep this up, and don’t stop killing!"

Beiming Xue aimed at a group of low-health Iron Cutter Cavalrymen and fired a Spiraling Arrow Blade that also triggered the Xuanming Flame. To our amazement, the one skill dealt over 3 million damage and one-shot all of the enemies. At this point, was it really appropriate to call her an archer? This is just brutal!

Beiming Xue proceeded to fire her Skypiercer, Well of the Abyss and more skills. Now that she had become a god, Beiming Xue was almost strong enough to handle one front of the battlefield single-handedly.

……

"Shit…" A Level 255 God Breaker magic knight called "Snails Are Disgusting" raised his eyebrows and said, "That Chinese girl is getting a little too cocky. Iron Cutter Cavalry Column 1, follow me to take her out! We’ll drop her to the ground with Trapping Nets before killing her with Ultimate Strength Break. With luck, we’ll get her to drop her Xuanming Bow!"

"Yes, corps commander!" A group of Iron Cutter Cavalrymen immediately changed directions and began advancing toward Beiming.

The 5,000 Iron Cutter Cavalrymen tried to be sneaky, but He Yi and I spotted their movement all too easily. She said to me in the guild channel, "That Snails Are Disgusting is bringing a lot of Iron Cutter Cavalrymen with him. He’s targeting Beiming, isn’t he?"

I nodded. "Yeah, no doubt about it!"

Chaos Moon suggested, "No worries. I’ll intercept him now with the Dragonlight Cavalry!"

However, I shook my head and said, "No, no. The Dragonlight Cavalry’s main task is to charge the enemy, not intercept them. Beiming, I have a plan."

Shooting without pause, the girl winked at me and said, "Tell me, big bro. I’ll do anything you say!"

I smiled. "Alright. Chaos Moon, I want you to spread out the Dragonlight Cavalrymen blocking the 5,000 Iron Cutter Cavalrymen and let them in. Beiming, you will move to the back to lure the enemy into the range of our ranged players. The Dragonlight Archers will pepper them with Shock Arrows from both sides, and the Holy Mages will bombard them with God Devil Breaks from the back. Let’s aim to take out all 5,000 Iron Cutter Cavalrymen without any losses, okay?"

Beiming Xue giggled. "You’re so bad, big bro…"

Chaos Moon curled her lips. "I know right? Every single tactic I’ve ever heard from his mouth is of the shameless variety…"

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun chimed in. "But of course! How can you conquer the world if you’re not shameless!? Speaking of shameless, I’m going to stick by your side for the rest of my life, so please carry me forever, Lu Chen…"

Me: "..."

He Yi quipped expressionlessly, "Long live bromance…"

Beiming Xue: "..."

……

"You heard the boss. Move aside and pretend to attack the enemy!" Chaos Moon ordered.

Very soon, thousands of Dragonlight Cavalrymen spread out and allowed Snails Are Disgusting to make his way up to Beiming Xue. Eyes trained onto her beautiful figure, he threw a Trapping Net at her as soon as he was close enough!

Whoosh!

Not only had Beiming Xue dodged the skill with ease, she wore a seductive smile on her face as she counterattacked with a Skypiercer. She didn’t mean it that way of course, but at the same time I was almost surprised that someone like Beiming was still single…

"Ignore the Dragonlight Cavalry and charge! If we manage to kill Beiming Xue, then it’ll all be worth it!" Snails Are Disgusting cried stubbornly.

The moment he and his 5,000 men entered our formation, Chaos Moon immediately ordered her men to plug the hole shut. At the same time, a rain of Shock Arrows fell from the sky and stunned most of the enemies. Snails Are Disgusting turned green when he finally realized what happened, "Shit, I think we walked into a trap…"

If he wasn’t sure before, the barrage of God Devil Breaks that absolutely annihilated a portion of his Iron Cutter Cavalrymen all but dashed his final vestiges of optimism away. He shouted, "It’s a trap! Turn back now!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Chaos Moon and the Dragonlight Cavalry would be damned if they allowed him to escape. Just like that, 5,000 Iron Cutter Cavalrymen went poof without being able to do anything!

On the frontline, the battle was growing more and more desperate for both sides. Although the Northern Alliance was bleeding players like crazy, the China server wasn’t faring much better either. We were losing Zephyr Cavalry, Profound Wolf Cavalry, Thunder Cavalry and other types of cavalry at an insane rate. Thankfully, the powerful Dragonlight Cavalry was able to make it all the way to the backline and massacre the ranged players with their Ultimate Strength Break. Neither Hero Alliance nor God Breaker could really do much to stop them.

……

In the sky, Vienna’s Sorrow was shooting glances at me about as often I shot glances at him. He didn’t dare to make a real charge against our army because he had almost run out of helpers. Shabby Castle, Beethoven’s Joy the Knight of Stars, Da Vinci Code the Shadow Archer and many more had already died. Even if he took the risk, he would never be able to escape Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and me alive.

"Careful now. We’re almost within the Dragon Cannons’ range…" I warned.

Song of Cloud and Water asked, "How should we do this, big brother Lu Chen?"

I answered, "It’s simple. Split your forces into smaller groups and attack them from several different directions at the same time. The Dragon Cannon’s attack range is incredible, but you can easily dodge its attack once you’ve gotten within 5 meters of it. Moreover, the Dragon Cannon’s attack doesn’t discriminate between friend or foe, so it’s not like the enemy can fire with impunity. Now go. Now is the time to go all out!"

Our forces immediately split into two as ordered. I myself led a group of players toward the Dragon Cannon at the center.

In the sky, Vienna’s Sorrow narrowed his eyes before saying quietly, "Tell our players to withdraw to 10 yards away from the Dragon Canon and hold the line there. Then, use the Dragon Cannons to mow down the enemies. No need to save the Dragon Crystals, we have more than enough to kill all of them!"

……

As I thought, Vienna’s Sorrow was different from Red Maple. He wasn’t willing to hurt his own people. This was the type of people who people rallied behind[3]!

"Let’s go. Don’t fall behind our leader!" Song of Cloud and Water ordered.

Song of Ice and Fire, God Bone and the other Soul Battle Robes players rushed ahead without hesitation.

The moment the enemy’s battle line disengaged from ours, a corps commander immediately shouted, "What are you waiting for? Blast them all to pieces now! Don’t hold back on my account!"

One Dragon Cannon shuddered, and a ball of flames engulfed a group of one thousand Soul Battle Robes Iron Cutter Cavalrymen instantly. Not a single player managed to survive the attack!

My heart ached at the horrible deaths. On the other side, Chaos Moon and the players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had also taken a couple of bombardments from their Dragon Cannon and lost a tremendous amount of players!

……

The ground was littered with dead bodies, equipment, and the smell of gunpowder.

A pale-faced God Bone roared in anger, "I refuse to believe these Dragon Cannons are powerful enough to stop all of us! All units, follow me!"

God Bone activated his Iron Bone Armor and made a beeline straight for the Dragon Cannon!

In the sky, Vienna’s Sorrow shouted, "Give me a rapid fire and shatter him!"

Bang bang!

The Dragon Cannon shuddered twice and engulfed God Bone in flames. The warrior raised his shield and managed to survive the first shot, but not the second!

Pa…

Bone, flesh and blood scattered everywhere as the air detonated. The vice leader of Soul Battle Robes was shattered into pieces, just like that!

1. T/N: the idiom is also used in the context of taking advantage of women ☜

2. T/N: you can tell that we’re approaching the end from how lazy this skill is ☜

3. T/N: That’s flawed logic. Red Maple dropped to Level 0 once, but he remained the most trusted player in his server. If anything, the Japan server is probably the most united of all servers because of a common enemy, and a leader who’s willing to do anything to lead them to victory ☜
