Chapter 179: Secret Passageway
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Restricted Curses?” Lin Jie, who was well hidden in the depths of the City Leader’s Mansion, gaped. However, when he saw that 200 plus Fire Mages began chanting in unison, he heaved a sigh of relief.
These were not Restricted Curses, but just Combination Spells.
Combination Spells required two or more people to cast the spells together, and they could use single skills to cast the spells. Normally, after combined training by a mentor, 200 Mages would be able to use Combination Spells. Fireball spells would combine to form Fire Rain, and every Fireball would have an additional five meters of splashing effect.
However, the prowess of this skill was definitely not as strong as Restricted Curses.
This tactic was enough to bluff the many small guilds which followed Baili Xuanyuan though. Restricted Curses were Legendary skills, and they all felt that they would have a great future if they continued following such a big brother!
The full moon seemed to turn red, and Fire Rain pelted down on the City Leader’s Mansion. Debris from the destroyed buildings flew around in the air. The 300 guards shouted out to one another to guard the City Leader’s Mansion more securely, but before long they were all killed by the spells that were thrown upon them.
“Hahaha, great!” Baili Xuanyuan laughed. With the death of the 300 guards, now they were only left with the Civil Official and the Military General! As long as they could kill the Military General in one go, they would succeed with the city siege!
This was the first city siege by the players! The guards within the city were powerless against their enemies, and the coup formed by the players already neared the City Leader’s Mansion—they believed the City Leader’s Mansion would not be able to organize any more effective defenses against them! The grand City Leader’s Mansion now had already become the greatest disaster region. With an order from Baili Xuanyuan, the great door of the City Leader’s Mansion was blasted open!
Joy flashed by Baili Xuanyuan’s originally calm face. His army had already broken into the City Leader’s Mansion, and the City Leader’s Seal would soon be within his reach!
At this moment, Baili Xuanyuan widened his eyes in disbelief!
1,000 plus Dynasty Knights who carried the Great Enrage spell on their heads charged out from City Leader’s Mansion, and their iron armors clang loudly! Other than that, hundreds of arrows shot towards them, and one of these arrows penetrated a Paladin who was beside him——this person was the Chairman of the Endless Hell guild. Although he was not the best expert, he was still a famous personality! After being shot by the arrow, his body was flung out and smashed onto 30 plus players who were following behind them!
100 plus Panther Sentinels slowly revealed themselves to the players.
‘These are elvish sentinels! They are high-class warriors! How come they are here?!’ Baili Xuanyuan was both shocked and angered. Shouldn’t the Military General Layard only summon Dynasty Knights when he was in critical danger? Why would the Dynasty Knights be called out now?
Other than that, the Civil Official should use the extra-weakened Motivated spell when he had less than 20% of his health points. Yet now, he was still chanting on and boosting his army with Great Enrage spells, which could be superimposed. The originally stout bodies of the Dynasty Knights grew bigger and stronger, and their eyes beneath their helmets gleamed with blood lust!
[Dynasty Knight]: Level 70 Elite, Health Points: 600,000.
“Leader, what’s happening? Shouldn’t we just face Level 30 Sentinels?”
“Wth, that female is Layard’s disciple! She’s a leader of elves!”
“Shut up!” roared Baili Xuanyuan. “Charge forward! Kill them with our manpower!”
Correct, just kill the Bosses with their massive manpower! This was his original intent of employing them anyway!
Charge!
A battle of great strength disparity was fought before the City Leader’s Mansion. Every step Baili Xuanyuan’s army took forward, hundreds of their players would be killed! The arrows by the Panther Sentinels were like cannonballs, and each shot would kill 10 plus players at a go. Meanwhile, the Dynasty Knights stood still at their original positions and showed no signs of moving.
‘These Dynasty Knights are fake! They must be fake—this doesn’t match up to the system’s rules!’ Baili Xuanyuan was still feeling hopeful. The way NPCs conducted battle would not change, he was sure this must be an illusion made up by the City Leader!
Eighteen Massacres’ most loyal subordinate, Dual Swordsman Cigarette Butt neared the Dynasty Knights as fast as he could! He aimed both his weapons at one of them, and slashed it down on their heads! At this moment, the Dynasty Knight made a move—wielding the longsword he held in his hand, one could only hear a piercing ‘Zzzz’ sound as Cigarette Butt’s body was being cut into halves! The remnant Blade Auras swept out and killed dozens of Baili Xuanyuan’s army standing within 10 plus meters’ space from the Dynasty Knight’s spot.
When Baili Xuanyuan saw this, he commanded, “Eighteen Massacres, Demon Robe, continue fighting on! Baizhan, come with me!”
Baizhan Yusheng was a Shield Specialist who kept guard besides Baili Xuanyuan throughout the battle—he had not launched any attacks so far, and the eyes on his hideous face were just fixated upon Baili Xuanyuan’s figure. After receiving the command, he nodded silently and followed behind Baili Xuanyuan with a gigantic black shield.
While war ensued on the ground, a bird circled the skies above, seemingly mourning for this laughable battle.
“Baili Xuanyuan seems like your knowledge of the City Leader’s Mansion is not any lesser than mine.”
In the City Leader’s Mansion, Lin Jie observed Baili Xuanyuan’s every move while giving out orders to the two great Bosses, the Civil Official and the Military General. He saw that while Baili Xuanyuan sent large numbers of cannon fodder to die for him, he got out of the battlefield and was running towards the back of the City Leader’s Mansion.
There were numerous secret passageways within the City Leader’s Mansion—this was designed by the cowardly City Leader for the purpose of escaping. One of these passageways led straight to the bedroom!
Lin Jie didn’t have time to think about how Baili Xuanyuan had managed to get hold of this information. He commanded Layard to quickly summon out another 30 Dynasty Knights.
“My lord, I don’t have enough Mana Points,” replied Layard. Summoning Dynasty Knights required large amounts of Mana Points, it was already a feat that he could summon the 1,000 plus Dynasty Knights up till now!
“How many more can you summon?”
“18.”
“Summon them all! Let me take over the commanding role!” shouted Lin Jie. After a flash of magic, 18 stern-looking Dynasty Knights immediately appeared in front of Lin Jie. They pushed through the crowds without any expressions and marched into the Civil Official’s skill range.
With the Great Enrage spells, the players’ ferocious attacks were like tickling to the NPCs! Baili Xuanyuan’s face turned grim as he realized that it would be impossible to take down the City Leader’s Mansion head-on. He could only make use of the secret passageways of the City Leader’s mansion to launch a surprise attack!
It was fortunate that he got information about the secret passageways beforehand, so now he could utilize it fully. Indeed, there would always be a way out!
Dong—
Dong—
Heavy footsteps were heard. Within the shadows, faces which were covered by masks revealed themselves.
The Dynasty Knights again!
18 Level 70 Elite Dynasty Knights looked coldly at the two of them. Unlike the Dynasty Knights who were on defense and did not bother to attack the battlefield’s frontier, these 18 Dynasty Knights charged straight at them. Raising their longswords, they seemed like in a hurry to cut down Baili Xuanyuan’s head!
“Forward Charge!”
Baili Xuanyuan took out the King Snake’s Crown and attacked those knights head-on without any fear. Baizhan Yusheng followed closely behind with his shield—it looked like a piece of heavy metal which could not be moved away easily!
“Wind Barge!” Baili Xuanyuan crashed onto a Dynasty Knight, and when his King Snake’s Crown bumped against the Dynasty Knight’s sword, a cold look flashed past his eyes. He kicked at the Dynasty Knight’s groin!
Attack Blocked!
Not only could the Wind Barge skill interrupt other skills, but it could also interrupt normal attacks! A great Damage figure leaped out on top of the Dynasty Knight’s head.
-1,455!
It was five times the amount of damage dealt—this was the prowess of the Wind Barge skill! It could deal out five times as much damage while ignoring the opponents’ defense!
Baili Xuanyuan ran past this Dynasty Knight towards the corners of the wall after their swift contact.
At this moment, the rest of the 17 Dynasty Knights ignored Baizhan Yusheng, and charged towards Baili Xuanyuan!
“Stop... NOW!” Baizhan Yusheng gave out a roar like a wild beast, and he placed himself between Baili Xuanyuan and the Dynasty Knights. His burly figure attracted the aggro of these 18 Dynasty Knights successfully! He slammed his heavy shield onto the ground, and a spur sprouted out from the middle of his shield!
He got into his defensive stance, and activated Shield Guard and Fearless Roar!
Baizhan Yusheng’s defense capabilities were extremely high, and his health points were 3,000—it was even more powerful than Mixed Breathless’ defense capabilities!
The Dynasty Knights’ swords slashed down upon the shield in front of them, and sparks flew!
-2,999!
Baizhan Yusheng could actually survive a blow from them!
“Baizhan, you stay here,” commanded Baili Xuanyuan as he punched open the entrance of the secret passageway within the walls and crawled inside. Baili Xuanyuan nodded silently—but his head was chopped off immediately by the Dynasty Knight which attacked him the next moment!
————————
“F*ck!” Lin Jie couldn’t help but curse. The Dynasty Knights mustn’t get into the secret passageways!
However, that Shield Specialist named Baizhan Yusheng... he was really powerful! Lin Jie saw clearly how he had tried to use the spur on his shield to parry the Dynasty Knight’s attack, then shook his shield several times to lessen the damage received before entering the game’s judgment system.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold off the first blow by the Dynasty Knights!
Weng——
A Space spiral suddenly appeared in the City Leader’s bedroom. Baili Xuanyuan stepped into the room, and looked in shock at the black-robed figure in front of him, who had his hands on the City Leader’s Seal!
Baili Xuanyuan’s pupils constricted, and he laughed. “City Leader, how lucky to meet you here!”
Taking out his longsword, he proceeded forward. “City Leader, oh Lord Caesar! You are indeed scheming, and fooled everyone else! You made us believe that you are the most useless bum around, but who would have guessed... you are just pretending to be dim-witted!”
“Those well-prepared Dynasty Knights are listening to your commands, aren’t they? Even the Elf Mena, the disciple of Military General Layard, you had long invited her here, didn’t you? I have to admit, you are one of the most intelligent NPCs I have ever seen in the game!”
“I also have to give my hat off to you for being able to play around the system’s loopholes. You are much more formidable than the other stupid NPCs who only know how to abide by rules!”
“However... I am a player! Know what a player is? We are your owners! All that you have, it will become mine eventually!” Baili Xuanyuan walked closer towards the “City Leader,” and held up his longsword against his neck, commenting mockingly, “City Leader, what else can you do now? Those loyal subordinates outside can’t protect you anymore, eh?”
Lin Jie couldn’t help but smile when he felt the cold sword against his neck.
Baili Xuanyuan’s face turned cold, and with a slight lift of his sword, a 300 plus damage figure was seen!
“Die now!” shouted Baili Xuanyuan as he raised his sword up high, the Wind Swordsmanship skill revolving around his sword’s tip.
‘Whoosh—’
-1,241!
Two flashes were seen!
Baili Xuanyuan widened his eyes in surprise as he dumbly stared down at the sword in his chest! The black-robed figure stretched out his right hand and stabbed hard onto the purple longsword which was stuck in Baili Xuanyuan’s chest. After a splash of blood was heard, Baili Xuanyuan fell down hard onto the ground!
