Zhan Yue

The guild was pumped up. Before this, we were just guessing but now that chance was right in front of our eyes. At this moment, we were extremely close to an SS Grade stronghold. After all, two lords were gone and one was dead but the troops defending were still there. It would take at least an hour for the players and NPCs to clear up the walls which gave us a huge chance. As long as we grabbed it and entered within the hour, we would have a chance to take the stronghold down!

“Shua---”

The instance that the Cloud Ladder Technique disappeared, I landed on the high ground to the left of the fortress. Shen Mingxuan, Gu Ruyi etc ranged players had clashed with those monsters on the wall. Spells and arrows attacked and it was really exciting.

“This is pointless.”

I looked at the hill and it was at a terrifying 75 degrees. Those with spears that they aren’t using, hand them to me. Quick!”

“Ah?!”

Lin Xi was stunned but she quickly handed 4 spears to me. Light Lantern, Cal and the others did too and instantly my bag had hundreds. I used Darkness Transformation and charged up the hill, stabbing it into the wall. After stabilizing myself, I stabbed it deep in until it reached 30cm in. My equipment was too good and my strength was really high. In terms of strength, I was similar to a top Warrior.

Shortly after, the second and third were stabbed in. Lin Xi saw what I was doing and smiled, “So you are making a path…”

“Right!”

I laughed and continued forwards, stabbing spears into the wall. At that moment, monsters appeared too. A Pioneer Cavalry roared, “Quick look, that Dragon Region Jerk is trying to get close. Focus your arrows and turn him into a porcupine, quick!”

The monsters focused on me. My chest and face were covered in arrows and my health dropped to 45%.

“Quick!”

Lin Xi held her sword and stood at the edge of the high ground, “Paladins, layer your Self Sacrifice, don’t let him die. Heal him, quick!”

Right away, self sacrifice landed on me and that was followed my saint light. Even Saint Healing Hammer smashed onto me and my health was full. I could focus fully on work. I hugged the spears and stabbed them into the wall to form this 30 meter path.

Five minutes later, I was right in front of the troops. Heals continued to land on me and my health continued to maintain at 80%. I was relatively safe. My goal was to build the path up to the wall so that the With You players could charge up. I built while saying, “Lin Xi, you can get people to charge. The first wave has to be elites, we must be able to gain a footing.”

“En!”

Lin Xi turned around, “Get 100 heavy armored players, half Paladin half Warrior, charge up the walls first. Quick, Lu Li is about to finish.”

“Yes.”

In the next moment, a charging team led by Heaven Morque and Light Lantern appeared. Lin Xi held her sword and walked to the front and said, “Lu Li head up and draw some firepower, cover us!”

“Okay!”

With a crisp sound, the final spear stabbed into the wall and it looked really firm. I was just half a meter from the wall and a bunch of cavaliers slashed at me. When their blades were about to hit me, I used Dark Shadow Jump to appear behind them. I used Apprehension+Muddy Water to cover the field and started to battle with the monsters.

“Use this chance, head up!”

Lin Xi dashed over and her sense of balance was really good, becoming the first support. After landing on the wall she summoned White Deer and charged into the crowd. Behind her was Light Lantern, Haotian etc. When they charged up the walls, Heaven Morque and the Paladins were here. They used Envoy of Light to heal everyone and in a blink, With You gained a footing.

“Those at the back, follow up!”

Shen Mingxuan ordered and not long later, she led the ranged players up. However, many people fell from it and rolled into the monsters. Mistakes couldn’t be avoided as not everyone was used to walking on such a thin area. But after ten minutes, over 3000+ of us occupied a corner of the wall. We suppressed the monsters and charged towards the inner city steps.

“Charge!”

After I gave the order, Light Lantern and Cal led the way, directly dragging our battle line to the exit. After my Apprehension and Gu Ruyi’s spells cleared them out, those Pioneer Cavalries were all laying down. The battle was really easy. Lin Xi rode White Deer and stood on the walls. She pointed, “Lu Li look, the flag is on the square, there seems like… No boss defending!?”

I looked from afar, it really was the case.

“Charge, quick, speed up!”

At this moment, I was the commander of the guild. When I turned around, I saw a group outside the walls. Dragon Region soldiers, Flame Army, Silver Frost Army, Saint Hall Cavalry etc were charging. Players also gave up on their formations and sent people to attack the monster camps. Both sides were in intense battle and it was far more exciting and intense than ours.

At that moment, Lin Xi and I were dragged into a group chat. I glanced and saw that everyone inside was famous in the scene. Feng Canghai, Changshen Jue, Dawn, Yanshi Bugong, Fengxian, Baili Ruofeng, Fushen Thousand Blades etc were here. Apart from them, it was just Lin Xi and me from With You.

“They are in!” Changshen Jue said.

“This… What is going on?” Lin Xi was confused.

“Lin Xi.”

Yanshi Bugong said seriously, “With You used another method to enter the fortress from the walls. What is the meaning of this? With You wants to take down the fortress?”

“Is there a problem?”

I was confused, “Won’t the fastest finger get this SS Grade stronghold? Do we have to even discuss this?”

“No, you…”

Baili Ruofeng said solemnly, “July Wildfire, Snow Eagle Fortress is taken down by all the large guilds on the server. Everyone contributed but your actions are just kill stealing. If you sneakily take it down then how can we answer to our guild members who have spent so much effort?”

“Right.”

Yanshi Bumou said, “Even if we want to fight, all guilds should fight fairly. With You taking it down alone is so immoral.”

“...”

Lin Xi said calmly, “What are your morals? With You back out and all of you take the fortress?”

“Lin Xi calm down, they don’t mean that.”

Feng Canghai said, “What we mean is actually quite clear, we just want a fair fight. We aren’t biased against With You, I hope that you can believe us.”

Lin Xi frowned, “You want a fair fight, sure! Then, when you took down the other S Grade areas, why didn’t you talk about fair competition, why did you exclude us? Don’t be so fake. We gave up two S Grade areas so as to take Snow Eagle Fortress down quickly. I don’t want to speak to all of you. If you want to fight us then bring it on.”

“Right!”

I said seriously, “Everyone wants Snow Eagle Fortress, if you have the strength then bring it on. Whichever guild gets it will make other guilds envious. But if you try to use such scheming ways to make us give up on it, that is shameless.”

“Well said!”

Fengxian smiled, “Haven’t the rules always been like this? Fastest fingers first. Who cares about fair competition? With You is able to get there quickly and enter the Snow Eagle Fortress because of their skill and planning. All of us failed to think about it so whose fault is it? To pull them down now and ask for a fair PK? That is too shameless?”

Changshen Jue frowned, “Fengxian you should talk less.”

“I love to talk, who are you to care?”

Fengxian smiled, “Weren’t you the one that set up this group? Listen to me, don’t be envious, if not then Legend attacks the fortress. Let me make things clear, With You is able to enter because of their skill. If they take it down and you all want to attack, Winds of Battle will defend with them. Bring it on!”

He said provocatively, “Guild Leader Bugong, do you want to attack?”

Yanshi Bugong’s mouth twitched, “Don’t sprout nonsense…”
