Chapter 1022: Wandering attack strategy
Late at night, Forest of Stars.
"Sha sha..."
Horse hooves stepped on the fallen leaf-covered ground. I walked at the front and behind me were Li Meng Yao, Old K and 200 Zhan Long members. The mission Fang Ge Que gave to Zhan Long was to scout the forest and find Conquer the World and Beautiful Life. Without wiping out the elites under Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple's hands, we wouldn't have won the battle.
Old K held Greedy Nine Headed Snake and said, "They are too afraid and don't even dare to show their faces. India Region has tens of millions of players so how can they retreat like that?"
I held Butterfly, "They are just baiting us deep in."
Li Meng Yao blinked and asked, "Brother what if we get ambushed. Clear Black Eyes is so cunning, she definitely has a plan for us."
I smiled, "That is okay, Zhan Long is pushing in 200 people at once and two teams are less than 100 meters apart. If they dare to come then we will kill them."
"En!"
Right at that moment, shuffling sounds spread from the forest ahead. Old K charged out and raised his axe. He used Battle Axe Throw into the trees and after a loud thud, the Indian Player that was holding a shield was hit. He retreated on his horse and his expression was really ugly.
I held my sword and sliced his remaining half health. At the same time, I raised my head and saw many Archers and Mages squatting on the trees. But they were not their main guild players, their guilds were ranked around 10-20 so they weren't of a huge threat.
"Be careful!" Li Meng Yao guided the horse over.
I activated Icy Wings and flew into the sky. In mid-air, I slashed with Butterfly and the bunch of Archers, Mages, Musketee fell off from above. Old K, Li Meng Yao and the others stunned them and killed them. 90+ of the 200 were Furnace God Cavalry so we definitely weren't afraid of this battle.
"Shua shua shua..."
Dense arrows flew from the bushes ahead. I said right away, "Mengyao attract the fire, Old K prepare to attack!"
I saw things really clearly and there were at least 300 India players hiding behind the bushes. They were ambushing and waiting for us to arrive. Li Meng Yao held up the Nuwa Stone and charged forwards on the horse. Many arrows and spells landed on the shield. Fortunately, her defence and health were high enough and before she was down to half health, she had charged into the bushes. She used Dragon Slash and forced two cavalry players back.
Old K hollered and used Whirlwind Slash into the crowd. At the same time, he raised his axe and used Fierce Axe Strike to bring a bunch of people down to low health. I charged down and activated my level 19 god technique. Wind Carrying Slash exploded in the crowd and killed dozens of them. At the same time, a golden light surged into the sky which was Wind Carrying Slash's effect. Damn, it did look really nice. But it was the same as telling everyone that I was in this forest. With how smart Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple were, they definitely could guess.
Hundred Furnace God Cavalry charged, all of them had blades in their hands and they used Blade Spin. The bushes were ripped apart and when they got close, they used Whirlwind Sword Break and Sword Break etc. There were more Indian players than us but they couldn't fight back at all. When we turned them all into corpses,
we only lost 3 Furnace God Cavalry and one archer that was engulfed by spells after running too far ahead.
……
We cleaned up the battlefield and we could hear killing shouts from ahead. It seemed like Li Mu and Lin Wan Er's team had met enemies but they shouldn't be a threat. If not they would ask for help.
Zhan Long players pushed forwards in the Forest of Stars and after getting deep in, we finally met a bunch of decent enemies. A guild ranked 16th in India, a total of 7000+ of them were lined up waiting for us. They also had three Dragon Crystal Cannons. However, their plan had failed. Zhan Long's 50 teams gathered up and in less than 20 minutes, we shattered their formation. We then spent 30 minutes turning them all into points.
"Kacha!"
A sword slashed onto the spear of cavalry and Zhen Yue Sword took his last bit of health. From afar, I used Defeat the Dragon to pull a Warrior over. I then used Strength of a Thousand Men to insta kill him. Thus, this 7000+ strong army was finally dealt with by all of us and none of them were able to flee.
I bent down to pick up the equipment and also shook off the dust on it. This was a level 167 bracers that had a 75% armor penetration skill that spent 45 rage value. This was a decent attack skill and could be sold for a few hundred in Tian Ling City.
"Brother Xiao Yao, this was a huge win, we only lost less than 200 people!" Song Han smiled and said.
I nodded, "Right, haha, this battle was really smooth."
Lin Wan Er frowned, "It was indeed smooth but it wasn't for other guilds. I just received news that Mortal World was surrounded in Questioning Heaven Ice Plains. Conquer the World's 12000 Fire Elephant Cavalry and close to 150 thousand players surrounded them and in less than 40 minutes, a total of 40 thousand of them were killed."
I was stunned. King's Hunt rules were clear that once players died, they wouldn't be able to enter the map. To a certain extent, we were suffering!
Yue Qing Qian said, "When Q-Sword led Hundred Abyss Cavalry over, they only saw a ground covered in corpses. Drunk Maple killed and then left without even cleaning up the battlefield."
Li Mu was stunned, "Good fellow, she didn't even want the equipment. What does this bunch of Indians want?"
I sucked in a deep breath, "They want Waterfront City and want to exceed us in points!"
Lin Wan Er looked tired, "Did you all notice that our targets keep fleeing. Once we don't want to chase, they provoke us to continue chasing. Everyone can see what kind of tactic this is right?"
"Good good..." Old K smiled, "They are trying to draw us in?"
I smiled, "Most probably. Clear Black Eyes is too smart. Fighting near Waterfront City means that we are fighting on their ground. They are more familiar with this land than us. This tactic is targeting us."
Yue Qing Qian said, "Even Mortal World got hit, much less the medium and small sized guilds. If we continue like this we would lose. What should we do, how should we stop them?"
Wang Jian squinted his eyes, "Should we just camp and wait it out..."
I laughed, "Stop joking, let's say something useful. What should we do?"
Lin Wan Er said, "We can do something like that. Use our numbers to push forwards and then the rest would depend on the heavens. If they want to give Waterfront City to the Indians then there is nothing I can say."
I clenched my fist, "Then let's use another strategy, wind walking strat."
"What is wind walking?" Li Meng Yao smiled and asked.
"They are retreating when we attack to use the area around. Forest of Stars and Fire Marsh Plains is suitable for cavalry and our Furnace God Cavalry's movement speed is 500%. Apart from God Wind Cavalry, no one is faster than us. We even have 12000 Furnace God Cavalry remaining. If we send War Hawk Knights to find their main force and chase them down, they won't be our match. Clear Black Eyes and Drunk Maple want to kill our small guilds so we can do the same. Let's see who is quicker!"
Wang Jian smiled, "Brother Xiao Yao's strategy is so good!"
"If there are no objections then let's get to work. Fire Dragon Cavalry and Steel Blade Cavalry stay to protect the provisions. Furnace God Cavalry follow me. Send out the War Hawk Knights right away!"
Li Mu smiled, "Ok!"
Zhan Long didn't have many War Hawk Knights, but we had at least 100+ of them. The air advantage meant that no one could threaten them. These players didn't participate in the actual battlefield as their equipment helped to increase movement speed and weren't good for fighting. Tian Ling City's guilds would all raise a bunch of War Hawk Knights as information was just too important in this day and age.
……
A few minutes later, 12000 Furnace God Cavalry were led by Wang Jian and me around Forest of Stars. Lin Wan Er rode on my horse and Dancing Forest rode on Li Meng Yao's. Their skills and abilities had good effects during battles.
In less than two minutes, Yue Qing Qian got news from the War Hawk Knights. She said, "Forest of Stars coordinate (12733, 73164), there are at least 5000 Indian players. They look like they are trying to ambush us."
"Full speed!" Li Mu shouted.
Horse hooves shook the ground. The bunch of Furnace God Cavalry passed through the forest and headed towards their target.
