……

I exhaled a little and, for a moment, wished that I was a mage. The scepter already had amazing stats, but its Outstanding Property, Bleak Death, was simply out of this world. Anyone who received a Bleak Death status condition wouldn’t be able to receive any heals for 30 seconds, and the scepter had a 100% chance to inflict it. In a group battle, its value could only be described as priceless.

So I looked at our mages and said, "This scepter is called Bleak Death, and it’s an Ancient Immortal-grade weapon. It’s kinda ugly, sure, but I promise you it’s an absolute mankiller you won’t want to miss… Oh, I’m not talking about you, sis…"

Murong Mingyue rolled her eyes at me. "Pooh. Shameless bastard!"

I continued, "So, Top 10 mage players with the highest guild contribution points, step forward and begin to roll. The price is 220k guild contribution points!"

It wasn’t long before Lian Xin, Moonlight Stone, Yu Tong and more began rolling for the dice. At first, my heart skipped a beat when I saw that Little Xin only rolled an 11. I knew then that our workshop’s number one mage would not get the equipment unless someone was literally rigging it in her favor. Thankfully, Moonlight Stone was the final winner of the scepter. After the incident with Candle Dragon and Wind Listener, Moonlight Stone’s loyalty toward Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was higher than ever before. There was almost no chance she was going to leave us for any reason, which meant that Bleak Death wasn’t going anywhere either.

"Alright!"

When the last piece of equipment was finally distributed, I sat down on an embrasure and leaned against a wall. I then distributed the magic stones before taking a much-deserved rest.

Almost all of the fiend-rank mobs on our side had been cleared out. Although our losses were severe, the patch contribution points we had gotten were just as great. It was a very comfortable feeling.

……

While idling, I took a moment to check out the contribution point ranking. As it turned out, this defense of the Crossroads Valley Fortress had drastically changed almost everyone’s placings. As for my contribution points, let’s just say that they were so high that I was shocked by my own performance. At this point, there was zero chance anyone was surpassing me unless I deleted my account right now. Of course, I wasn’t going to do that in a million years. I still wanted to earn more gold to marry a wife and raise a family…

Name Country Points

Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand China 4,940,870

Breeze and Rain India 2,583,800

Wind Fantasy China 2,453,880

Candlelight Shadow China 2,242,900

Legendary Brave China 2,123,330

Vienna’s Sorrow USA 2,093,470

Lian Xin China 2,042,770

Luo River God of the Capital China 2,013,430

Tear Stain Korea 1,992,830

God of War India 1,923,740

……

We hadn’t even defended Crossroads Valley Fortress for more than 10 hours, but the amount of contribution points we had earned during this time could only be described as obscene. My amount of contribution points was almost twice of Breeze and Rain’s, and everyone other Chinese rankers such as Lin Yixin, Li Chengfeng, Lian Xin and more had skyrocketed in terms of placing as well. Six of the Top 10 players were Chinese. This was why the Northern Alliance, Cyan Earth City, Elephant City and Purple Grape City feared our strength so much.

Tiger roars occasionally shook the sky. At Candle Dragon’s formation, Candlelight Shadow was solo-tanking the boss with the help of a thousand priests. Things looked dicey even then—that was just how powerful the King of Dragonscale Battle Tigers was—but with Candlelight Shadow’s adaptability, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to kill the boss. After all, it was ultimately just an Ancient Immortal Rank boss. It was nowhere near a Divine Rank boss like Skullblood the Earth Devourer.

I looked at Warsky Alliance next. Warsky was able to cling onto life thanks to the Immortal Blade, but Warsky Alliance’s firepower was clearly inferior to Candle Dragon’s. Candlelight Shadow’s boss only had 17% HP left, but Warsky’s boss still had 40% HP. It would take him at least half an hour to defeat it.

……

"Oh no…" Li Chengfeng was lying on top of his Blue Crystal Dragon and enjoying a nap when suddenly, he rose to his feet and pointed to the distance. "Look! An army’s coming toward us!"

I rose to my feet as well and asked, "What’s going on?"

The 30,000-strong army of black cavalrymen thundering toward us wore the guild symbol of Hero Alliance on their shoulders. Leading in front of them was none other than Vienna’s Sorrow himself. None of us was expecting to see this bastard at this time.

He Yi said slowly while looking at Hero Alliance, "I know why Vienna’s Sorrow here. The bosses of the third, fourth and fifth wave all spawned on our side, so he lost his cool and decided that he would snatch at least one Ancient Immortal Rank boss from us—that is what my foreign spies told me. He’s targeting Warsky Alliance’s boss. What should we do?

I unsheathed the Chill of the Nine Provinces and declared, "Do you even need to ask? Let’s go and take out Vienna’s Sorrow!"

Our cavalrymen unsheathed their blades and prepared to set out.

However, October Rain suddenly called out to us from a distance, "Thank you for your good intentions, Lu Chen, but we can handle this!"

"Oh?"

I paused. I waited to see what exactly October Rain meant by that.

It was at this moment a group of cavalrymen burst out of the nearby forest and scattered the scattered pockets of Dragonscale Battle Tigers in their way. They were making a beeline toward Vienna’s Sorrow Iron Cutter Cavalry and Gold Cavalry!

"Fuck!"

Gui Guzi clenched his fists. "It’s the Russia server…"

That’s right, the guild challenging Hero Alliance was the third strongest guild of Frostsword City. It looked like Warsky Alliance had developed an alliance with them. As expected of October Rain, not only had she expanded her guild’s influence to Frostsword City, she was obviously planning to develop Warsky Alliance into an international guild!

……

I raised my sword again and ordered, "Let’s stand by for now and see what happens…"

Everyone nodded.

After the two forces clashed, Vienna’s Sorrow tried his best to kill as many Russian cavalrymen as possible on his black dragon. However, he had acted too hastily. He had brought less than 100k cavalrymen with, while the Russians had at least 200k. Warsky Alliance wasn’t idle either. Warsky had also dispatched a squadron of Gold Cavalry to strike Hero Alliance where it hurt. Even after Vienna’s Sorrow used his SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Smile of the God of War Ares, he still wasn’t able to obtain an overwhelming advantage. Both sides bled players at an extraordinary rate!

"Roar!"

The black dragon fired a jet of flames at a group of Gold Cavalry and one-shot them all. Smile of the God of War Ares increased his critical hit rate by 70%, so nearly every hit he dealt was a critical hit. Combined with his extraordinary stats, his firepower could only be described as utterly terrifying.

However, his players were dropping like flies to the enemy’s arrow rain as well. For a moment, he frowned deeply like he was considering something.

Then, Beethoven’s Joy the Knight of Stars galloped to him and yelled, "Something needs to change, Vienna! We’re about to be surrounded by the Chinese and the Russians, and our tens of thousands of Iron Cutter and Gold Cavalrymen won’t last an hour! The other guilds of the Northern Alliance won’t be able to reinforce us in time either. We must mobilize our local troops now!"

Vienna’s Sorrow considered the suggestion a moment longer before nodding. "Very well, we will use them this once!"

"Mn!"

……

My eyebrows knitted together as a bad premonition rose in my heart. I clenched my fists together and muttered to myself, "Don’t do it, Little Piglet. Don’t you become another person’s puppet and make me scorn you!" 2

Li Chengfeng asked, "What’s wrong, brother?"

I clenched my teeth. "You’ll see in a bit…"

It didn’t even take ten minutes before Dark Mercenaries abruptly left their joint defense line with Protective Umbrella and headed toward the three-way battle. Little Piglet himself was leading 20,000 Iron Cutter Cavalrymen up a high ground before launching a cavalry charge toward the Russians. He raised his weapon high and declared with determination, "Kill off all the Russians in front of you!"

His Iron Cutter Cavalry swung their own weapons and howled their battle cries. The high ground charge was too much for the Russians to hold off, and Dark Mercenaries were able to cut through their formation like a hot knife through butter. Combined with Hero Alliance’s attack, the 200,000 Russian cavalrymen fell apart in just ten minutes’ time.

Little Piglet didn’t just stop there. It wasn’t until Dark Mercenaries had killed almost 70k enemies, and his own men had dwindled to just 10k before he finally turned back. The old Little Piglet would be wearing a lazy yet confident look on his face after a victory like this. Today, he looked more like a murderous god of vengeance.

Warsky gripped his Immortal Blade tightly while swearing at the departing Dark Mercenaries, "Fuck you Little Piglet! How dare you help the Northern Alliance to torment your own countrymen! Shameless traitor!! You and I will be enemies until the end of time!"

……

Dark Mercenaries’ timely and decisive intervention greatly invigorated Hero Alliance. As a result, Vienna’s Sorrow was able to reach the boss when it still had 15% HP left and contest it.

"Ai, Little Piglet…" Gui Guzi sighed.

He Yi asked, "Now what do we do?"

"What else can we do?"

I pointed to the distance and ordered, "Little Gui, Chengfeng, take 20,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen with you and reinforce Warsky Alliance. Try and make sure that Warsky gets the last hit. If that isn’t possible, then focus on keeping Warsky alive. He must not fall to Vienna’s Sorrow no matter what."

"Yessir!"

……

I stayed where I was while Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng left to reinforce Warsky Alliance. Even Candle Dragon had dispatched a troop of elites to assist them. While both of us would like nothing more than to bash Warsky Alliance’s face in ourselves, it was a different story to let them be bullied by a foreign force.

Twenty minutes of chaotic battle later, Vienna’s Sorrow ultimately gave up and withdrew.

Almost too soon, a roaring thunder ripped above the mountain ridges once more.

……

I looked at the distant horizon and said, "Coldblade himself may appear during the last two waves…"

1. I don’t understand how something this good is only Ancient Immortal-grade, but whatever. More importantly, this confirms that the mechanic where players can choose to either revive from their bodies or revive from the city at the cost of 3 levels is actually a thing. It’s just that no one ever uses it, or at least the author doesn’t write it ☜

2. What part of Little Piglet’s "starting now, I will do anything to get revenge" speech don’t you get?
