Chapter 809: Turncoa (1/2)

The eyes of the magic knight called ”Rose-tinted Spectacles” turned cold. ”We serve our country with our body and soul. All the players who attacked Burning City are true warriors, and you have no right to dishonor them!”

I nodded. ”Of course, I’m not denying that every Chinese player who took part in the attack on Burning City is a courageous person. But if you’re not literally retarded, you should know that abandoning Dawn City to attack Burning City was an impossibly stupid plan. You were all just the sacrificial pawns in Candlelight Shadow, Thunderbolt, Bloody War God and Wind Slayer’s game for power!”

The corner of Rose-tinted Spectacles’ lips twitched as he glared at me hatefully, but he didn’t deny the truth of my words. A while later, he said, ”Fine, we’ll cooperate temporarily. How are we going to do this?”

I smiled and said, ”Join my party, and I’ll turn on Martial God. Once we take out the Silver Halberdmen blocking our way, I’ll lure the Northern Alliance over to you. Tell your assassins to ambush them mid-way, and your archers to kill them with Spiraling Arrow Blades. Hopefully, we can take them out without any losses.”

Rose-tinted Spectacles nodded. ”Alright, may our cooperation succeed!”

……

That was what he said, but I spotted a glint of cunning behind his eyes. Clearly he wasn’t a simple-minded person, and to cooperate with him was like to cooperate with a tiger. Still, I had no other choice. Unfortunately, none of my guild members or even my allied guild members had teleported close to my location, and the possibility of dying was too huge if I rushed in alone. I could resurrect myself with the Resurrection Art, but that was the last resort. After all, level equaled strength, and no amount of skill and equipment was enough to make up for a lack of levels!

We made our party. There were 47 Silver Soul players in total.

”Wah, Martial God increases attack power by 200%...”

A young archer’s eyes immediately lit up right after he joined the party. ”What an amazing Famous General Skill! This is the first time I got to enjoy such a powerful stratagem, not to mention that our captain is the CGL Hall of Famer and Little Heavenly King himself, Lu Chen. Hoho, I’m so happy…”

”Have some self-respect, Windless!” Rose-tinted Spectacles shot the archer a glare, but the latter simply stuck out his tongue in response and smiled.

I asked, ”Did your party have to fight your way over?”

I smiled. ”It’ll be fine from now on. I’ll be the sole MT of the party. Priests, give me Restore now and prepare for battle. Let’s take out all the mobs in the area first before we attack the Northern Alliance, and keep a low profile! The Northern Alliance hasn’t noticed us yet, and we don’t want to catch their attention too soon!”

”Mn.” Even Rose-tinted Spectacles nodded in agreement.

Dark Pupils was a special racial vision skill, and it could see through stealth, weak points and greatly increase my field of view on the minimap. That was why I could see the Northern Alliance’s hundred-man party on the minimap, but they couldn’t see me through the fog of war. While there was a chance someone in that party had a similar skill to mine, it was very unlikely. Skills like these were so rare that even the likes of Lin Yixin, Candlelight Shadow and Li Chengfeng didn’t possess them, much less the average players.

Swhoosh!

Green light hit me as several priests cast Restore on me at nearly the same time. Only the strongest spell took effect, however. My HP started regenerating rapidly.

I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse forward and raised my hand. Dragon Slaying Slash!

Bang!

The skill hit a Silver Halberdman in the head and drew its aggro. This particular mob moved surprisingly quick and activated Charge the moment it got within range!

”I’ll help too!”

Rose-tinted Spectacles clearly didn’t want to give up all the credit to me, but his angle was so terrible that the mob’s Charge actually stunned him instead of me after I took a couple of steps backward. The players behind us immediately broke out into laughter.

Rose-tinted Spectacles turned blue in the face, but I ignored him and focused on striking the mob’s weak point with Burning Blade Slash + Universe Break. Naturally, I dealt far more damage than Rose-tinted Spectacles could ever do.

The archers in the party shot the Silver Halberdman, but even with my stratagem they only managed to do between two to four thousand damage. I understood now why Silver Soul had lost as many players as they did. With this level of DPS, it would be stranger if they suffered no casualties. These archers were so weak that they almost couldn’t penetrate the dread-rank mob’s Defense.

Well, lucky for them, I was the main attacker of the party now. Stunned by how rapidly the Silver Halberdman’s HP was dropping, some Silver Soul players actually clapped their hands and cheered me on.

”Hmph!”

Rose-tinted Spectacles saw everything and stopped attacking. I had a suspicion that he was scheming something nefarious, and it wasn’t long before I was proven correct. I saw three assassins slowly shifting their way to my back.
