Volume 5 Chapter 3 Golden Knight
The collision of metal, the shouts of players, the explosion of skills, all these sounds mixed into a battlefield march.
As soon as the melee professions of both sides came into contact, the Evil God Temple was clearly at a disadvantage. Since a large number of soldiers were tied down by the enemy cavalry, the Evil God Temple often had to face a two-on-three or even a one-on-two situation on the front line, and it was very difficult to resist. Their commander had to order a gradual retreat and shrink the defense line.
Since Zhan Chuiyun was a warrior, he was not included in the cavalry attack at the beginning. Later, he fought with the bloodthirsty Shura for a long time. Although he had the upper hand, Shura escaped in the end. He has not killed a single enemy until now, and he was very angry. Now that the infantry hand-to-hand combat broke out, he was naturally overjoyed. He rushed forward first, swinging his giant sword wildly and bravely. With his strength, he was naturally invincible and soon opened a gap in the defense line of the Evil God Temple!
The most taboo thing in large-scale cold weapon battles is the breach of the defense line. As long as there is a small loophole, the enemy will continue to pour in from this flaw, tearing and expanding the gap until the entire defense line collapses!
Zhishangtanbing was very keen to discover the gap created by Zhan Chuiyun. He thought to himself that he could not let the opportunity slip away this time, so he immediately gave orders. Dozens of specially selected masters who stayed beside him as guards and the final reserve team responded and rushed forward, intending to follow Zhan Chuiyun and smash the defense line of the Evil God Temple in one fell swoop!
Zhan Chuiyun felt extremely excited after killing several enemies in a row. He was a natural warrior. The more intense the battle and the more blood was splashed, the more it stimulated his nerves and made his fighting spirit more intense. At this moment, he seemed to be the incarnation of a fighting god, chopping every enemy in front of him into pieces. He was unstoppable!
Suddenly, driven by his almost innate intuition about fighting, a warning sign suddenly appeared in Zhan Chuiyun's heart!
It was impossible for an ordinary enemy to pose such a threat to him. This master was definitely a terrifying master. He was unaware that this person had come to his side. He only felt the danger when the other person made a move!
Zhan Chuiyun turned around quickly, using the powerful torque of his waist to sweep his sword across. He did not seek to hurt the enemy, but only to force the opponent to retreat.
However, he was disappointed, his sword missed. Then he saw a palm, following a subtle trajectory, slapping his chest. This palm blocked his space to dodge left or right. As his sword missed, he lost his center of gravity and could not even retreat. He could only take the palm!
With a dull "bang" sound, Zhan Chuiyun fell backwards. A red shadow flashed, and a figure caught up with him, "pa pa pa pa" dozens of palms slapped Zhan Chuiyun. He was in mid-air at the moment, and had no power to fight back. Even the giant sword was knocked away. The whole person flew far away uncontrollably and landed among the group of masters sent by Zhishang Tanbing to pick him up.
The red shadow succeeded in his attack and quickly retreated, not giving the group of masters a chance to surround him. After retreating into the defense line of the Evil God Temple, he stood upright and just blocked the gap opened by Zhan Chuiyun!
Zhan Chuiyun was caught by a brother and his falling trend was stopped. Everything that happened just happened in the blink of an eye, but the person he thought of in his mind was his elder brother Zhan Chuixue.
In the War Free Alliance, Zhan Chuiyun ranks second in martial arts, and the top master is Zhan Chuixue.
Zhan Chuiyun's skills come from the countless fighting games he played in the past. He is a genius in this area and once made it into the top 100 in the world rankings of Fighting-2040 (a fighting competition game released in 2040).
Fighting games of this era are no longer as simple as Street Fighter and King of Fighters of the 20th century. The moves of the characters controlled by players are not preset by programs, but are evolved and combined by the players themselves using various basic movements. They are not much different from actual martial arts. Therefore, the masters of fighting games at least have considerable attainments in martial arts theory.
His elder brother Zhan Chui Xue is a real martial artist. When Zhan Chui Xue was a child, he studied under a famous Chinese traditional martial arts master for ten years. Zhan Chui Yun was not suitable for martial arts due to his physical condition, but influenced by his brother, he was also interested in martial arts, so he became addicted to fighting games.
The feeling he had when attacked by the red shadow just now was exactly the same as the pressure that Zhan Chuixue brought to him when he was in friendly PK with his brother. He was sure that the red shadow was also a martial arts master!
In addition, the opponent's attack method also proves this.
After the second upgrade at the end of September, Fantasy adjusted the career selection, and many professions had branch professions. For example, the swordsman was divided into the Western swordsman and the Eastern swordsman, and the warrior had the Western samurai and the Eastern knight (in fact, there are more branches, the examples are just the mainstream professions).
This red shadow is obviously a knight, one of the few professions in Fantasy that can exert great power with bare hands!
In fact, knights can also use weapons, but if they choose to fight barehanded, they will have greater flexibility. However, this comes at the expense of the attack power of the equipped weapons. Although the attack power can also be compensated by the knight's unique attribute "internal force", in terms of pure lethality and attack range, weapons are obviously more advantageous. Therefore, few people become knights who fight barehanded. Players who really choose this development direction are most likely to have a good foundation in martial arts in reality, and are willing to sacrifice attack power to better play their physical and technical advantages!
This Hongying is such an expert among experts. Who is he?
Zhan Chuiyun glanced at the red figure standing proudly and said in a lost voice, "Fire Cloud Evil God! Aren't you supposed to be commanding the army to attack our base? Why are you leading a small army here?"
Zhan Chuiyun's body suddenly shook, and several streaks of blood spurted out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. It was the follow-up destructive power of the "internal force" that Huoyun Evil God injected into his body. Zhan Chuiyun, who was already seriously injured, had countless questions in his mind, but he had to turn into a ball of white light and disappeared into the air.
This was almost an instant kill! Although Huoyun Evil God used a sneak attack, Zhan Chuiyun was no mediocre fighter after all, which showed how powerful Huoyun Evil God was!
Zhan Chuiyun is dead, and the troubles on the scene are left to paper talk. The appearance of Huoyun Evil God is totally unexpected, which means that he has not grasped the overall situation. If he cannot figure out the key, the outcome of this alliance war will be hard to say!
The hall master took action and instantly killed a general of the other side. The morale of the gang members of the Evil God Hall immediately increased. After fighting back desperately, they actually managed to block the offensive of the Free and Easy Alliance. The battle situation became stalemate for a while.
Paper Tanbing repeatedly mobilized troops, hoping to break the formation of the Evil God Temple, and then wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack and make a breakthrough, but Fire Cloud Evil God was not fooled and cleverly shrunk the defense line into a circle . Although this way they were completely surrounded and lost the chance to escape, the defense was also more solid and difficult to break. Paper Tanbing had no choice but to order the cavalry to make a strong attack, but it resulted in the loss of half of the remaining cavalry to no avail. They had no choice but to attack in the usual way, using long-range attacks to continuously kill and wear down the opponent's medicine supply.
Half an hour passed and there was still no progress in the battle. Paper Talk was feeling vaguely uneasy. Not only did the Fire Cloud Evil God appear, but the enemy had a chance to escape after being ambushed, but he stayed and fought them to the death. This was obviously just a way to delay time!
But sacrificing five thousand troops just to buy time? This price is not small. Unless it is very beneficial to their overall situation, Huoyun will definitely not be willing to do so!
Thinking of this, Zhishangtanbing quickly calculated in his mind: the destruction of the 5,000 people of the Evil God Temple is a foregone conclusion, but conversely, before they are eliminated, the Xiaoyao Alliance also has an equal number of troops tied up here, unable to return to the headquarters for support. Although according to prior intelligence, the combined forces of the Evil God Temple and Jianghu Sui Nian are not enough to break through the headquarters defended by the brothers who stayed behind and the reinforcements of the Holy War World, but now all kinds of signs show that the intelligence he has is not complete. If... if the power invested by the Evil God Temple in the attack is beyond imagination, if the Evil God Temple also invites the help of a third party, then this force that ostensibly wants to bypass the rear of the Xiaoyao Alliance’s base to launch a sneak attack is actually a bait, the purpose is to lure the Xiaoyao Alliance to send troops to ambush and weaken the defense of the headquarters. If this is true, he has already fallen into the trap!
He was so anxious that he almost ordered the entire army to retreat and return to the headquarters. However, he had to give up this idea. There were still more than 2,000 remnants of the Evil God Temple, which was still a very strong force. If he retreated, the Fire Cloud Evil God would definitely lead his army to hunt him down, and with the morale rising and falling, his own troops might not be able to resist. The retreat might very well turn into a rout, and then there wouldn't be much combat effectiveness left when he returned to the base!
The best option is still to annihilate this enemy first, and then return for support. I hope it is still in time!
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. There was a noisy sound coming from afar, and then Zhishangtanbing was stunned to see players from the Evil God Temple and Jianghu Suiyi rushing over from all over the mountains. Judging from the scale of the movement, there were probably more than 20,000 or 30,000 troops!
However, the formation of these horses was in disarray, and they didn't seem to be attacking him. Instead... they seemed to be running away!
Sure enough, a large number of players from the Free Alliance and Holy War World soon appeared behind them, biting their tails and chasing them relentlessly!
The armchair strategist, who was known as a think tank, was also confused. He really didn't understand how the situation had turned out like this. However, he immediately ordered the troops to change their formation. Although the enemy's defeated soldiers were poorly organized, there were too many of them. A single charge from them would likely disperse his own troops.
Although it is confusing to talk about military strategy on paper, Huoyun Evil God also felt a little dizzy at the moment. Although the current situation was planned by him, it was different from what he expected. The gang members who lacked military training retreated too chaotically, without even the most basic formation. If this continued, it might get out of control and turn a fake defeat into a real defeat.
Finally, the defeated soldiers came into contact with the troops of Paper War that surrounded Huoyun Evil God. Since the Xiaoyao Alliance had just changed its formation, from internal attack to external defense, the defense line was not very perfect and the enemy was numerous, so several places were breached at once. Paper War tried its best to dispatch troops to fill the gaps, but to no avail. Huoyun Evil God took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers, counterattack!" and led his troops to kill their way out from the inside, while the pursuing Xiaoyao Jihad army also kept pouring in. The battle situation suddenly became more chaotic, and soon, the four groups of people from the Evil God Temple, Jianghu Years, War Xiaoyao Alliance, and Jihad World were mixed together. The so-called command, tactics, formation, etc. were all useless in this situation, and it became a group fight of tens of thousands of people.
The leaders of both sides were groaning in their hearts. No one wanted to fight such a meaningless and messed up battle. However, Zhan Chuixue was still relatively at ease. Although the situation was chaotic, the final result would be nothing more than a lose-lose situation. But in this way, the Evil God Temple would lose the strength to continue attacking the Xiaoyao Alliance headquarters, so the alliance would lose the battle against the Evil God Temple.
However, Huoyun Evil God also had other plans. He had a support soldier, who should have arrived at the battlefield by now, right?
Thanks to the protection of dozens of experts, Zhi Shang Tan Biao miraculously did not get hurt in the melee, and even broke through the siege. When he came to Zhan Chuixue, he panted and said, "Boss, what's going on? Why didn't you stay at the headquarters and lead the army here?"
Zhan Chuixue said, "The Evil God Temple's attack this time had more troops than we thought, but we still held on. When the battle was at its most intense, the enemy suddenly withdrew. I guessed that they received the news that their sneak attack troops were ambushed by you, so they had to retreat to support us. How could I miss such an opportunity? Of course I have to give chase!"
Paper Talk said in a panic: "Not good, this might be the enemy's plan to lure the snake out of its hole! The Evil God Temple should have ambushes!"
Sure enough, not long after, another troop appeared. This troop was not large in number, but everyone wore a bright red cloak, and the team was neat and orderly, marching fast but not chaotic. It was obviously an elite force!
Zhan Chuixue frowned immediately and said in a deep voice: "Evil God Guards? This is troublesome!"
Ever since the Thunder Alliance formed the Thunder Corps, it defeated the Protectorate Army in one battle and the Thanos Sword in the second, and its reputation has risen. People with ulterior motives have noticed the advantages of concentrating elite personnel to form a special combat force, so capable gangs have established similar organizations. The Fire Cloud Evil God has such a 500-man Evil God Guard unit under his command.
The war between the Evil God Temple and the Free and Easy Alliance has not been going on for just one or two days. The Free and Easy Alliance has long witnessed the strength of the Evil God Guards and suffered a lot. Zhan Chuixue has also planned to establish such a military force, but the problem is that to form such a force, it is necessary to equip the team members with the best equipment, give them sufficient training, and pay them high salaries, which costs a lot of money. There are still very few gangs in Fantasy that can make money. It is considered good if they can maintain a balance between income and expenditure. In reality, Huoyun Evil God is a wealthy man who can invest heavily. The economic strength of the Free and Easy Alliance is much worse, and it really cannot afford to support such a force.
Although the number of the Evil God Guards is small, they are powerful and have undergone arduous training. Their cooperation is far superior to that of ordinary players. At this critical juncture, if such an organized force is deployed on the battlefield, it will be easy to defeat the members of the Free Alliance and the Holy War World one by one, making the entire situation lean towards the Evil God Temple!
The first priority at the moment is to get out of the melee and reorganize the formation. Facing the well-arrayed army, the Evil God Guards will not be able to gain any advantage. But achieving this is extremely difficult!
Zhan Chuixue and Zhishang Tanbing both looked livid. If the main force here was defeated, then the headquarters would not be able to defend against the subsequent massive attack by the enemy!
At this moment, a strange sound was heard, "dong, dong, dong" like drumbeats. Although the chaotic battlefield was filled with shouts and screams, there were still a few people with better hearing who heard the sound.
Zhan Chuixue and Huoyun Evil God are both martial artists with sharp ears and eyes. Although hearing in the dream is determined by the race and profession you choose and has nothing to do with reality, they can distinguish abnormal fluctuations in the noise better than ordinary people, so they both noticed the sound and looked up at the same time.
They saw a dragon!
A three-meter-tall, mighty and strong ground dragon was running towards two powerful steps!
The Earth Dragon is a level 80 monster. Although its level is very high, it is not a Boss after all. Stronger players will not take it seriously, not to mention that this is a battlefield with thousands of troops.
However, this is the Blue Continent, how could a ground dragon unique to the Fantasy Continent appear here?
The ground dragon was extremely fast, although its step frequency was not very high, but because of its height, one step of the dragon could cover the distance that a galloping horse could cover in three steps. In the blink of an eye, it was close to the battlefield. At this time, everyone could see clearly that there was a knight sitting on the back of the ground dragon. The knight was wearing a suit of golden scale armor and holding a golden and red strange-shaped sword. Although the helmet and mask covered his appearance, his aura was heroic and intimidating, and he was definitely not an ordinary person!
There were no marks of the allies or the warring parties on that man - in the dream, after the allies officially declared war, the members of the opposing sides and their allied gangs would not only have the flash of their equipment, but would also have another layer of light of different colors covering their bodies, making them very easy to identify. This could prevent accidental injuries to friendly forces. Some professions, such as assassins, could use skills to eliminate or change this light under certain conditions in order to carry out assassinations - but this man was obviously a knight rather than an assassin. He rushed straight into the battlefield, obviously intending to join the fight rather than just passing by by chance. I just didn't know which side he was going to help?
Huoyun Evil God and Zhan Chuixue both watched the knight's actions nervously. The strength of one person was certainly not enough to change the situation of the battle, but this person's identity was extraordinary, and his position represented the powerful group behind him!
Although we can't see his face, in today's Cang Continent, who is the only person who went to the west to be promoted to a golden knight and has a ground dragon as a mount, except for the number one master of Fantasy and the leader of the Thunder Alliance, Bloody Sky?
