Chapter 425: Retreat

On the snowy land, fewer and fewer Moving Army Bugs appeared. The second wave of Dimension Legion troops was about to come to an end.

At that moment, the player camp had suffered heavy losses after the Moving Army Bugs charged at us. Some small sized teams and guilds were basically out of the battle. For Dreams and Breaking Dawn had suffered heavy losses and around 50% of them had died. But everyone that played games knew that this death meant that they would lose a portion of their experience. Once a party lost 25% of its members, they had no chance at all because the gains would be no more than the losses.

For Dreams and Breaking Dawn members started to waver.

Apart from that, even Elements, Limitless, Winds of Battle etc T1 guilds had suffered huge losses. The sneak attack of the Moving Army Bugs caused Elements to lose 20% of their numbers. Limitless and Winds of Battle were worse. Although they were well positioned, but they might not be able to deal with the next wave of attacks.

As for With You, they suffered losses too. But as their formation was really tight, their losses weren’t as much as the other three guilds. Lin Xi had a huge part to play in that. She used White Star to kill monsters and her damage was really terrifying. Along with Shen Mingxuan, Gu Ruyi, Light Frost etc ranged players, With You didn’t suffer much. They lost 15% of their combat strength but they were still able to fight.

…

“Dong dong dong~~~”

When we were tabulating numbers, war drums started to play in the distance. All of a sudden, many people couldn’t help but look into the distance. The last round was Moving Army Bugs so what would this round be? Everyone saw how fierce and brutal the Pioneer Army. This time we were mentally prepared!

“Ang!”

A wolf howl spread from the distance and it caused many people’s hair to stand on their ends. Shortly after, a dense amount of monsters spread from the snow forest. I looked from afar and they were blood red Werewolf holding sharp spikes. They stared at us while drooling.

He was attacking!

The instance they roared and charged, I used Shifang Flame Spiral Eye to obtain their stats before sharing them to the guild–

Bonecrushers (Legendary Grade Monsters)

Level: 103

Attack: 12500-13200

Defence: 8000

Health: 1250000

Skill: Heavy Strike, Bonecrushing Strike, Consume corpse

Introduction: Bonecrushers,

They were originally from the werewolf race but after the undead plague infected them, they became violent. They hold a mace and love to smash prey’s heads open to suck their juices. As they are really violent, the humans hate them.

…

Bonecrushers!

I frowned. I had seen monsters with the same name before but they were different species. The werewolf ones had much better stats. Their Attack and Defence were really high and more importantly, there was a huge bunch of them this time!

“Be careful, there are so many of them!”

Mundane Slaughter held his dagger and said solemnly, “Damn… I think we might not be able to hold on!”

“Let’s try our best!”

I raised my hand and summoned White Bird+Orange Night. I gave them an order, “Orange Night stay here, White Bird take your chances. We need to protect ourselves while dealing the most damage.”

“Yes Master!”

Orange Night held his spear and puffed his chest. He stood behind me like a mountain. White Bird retreated and stood diagonally behind me, “Lu Li, these bonecrushers… I saw them before…”

“Oh?”

I was stunned, “Do you remember where?”

“No.”

She shook her head and she was in pain.

I smiled, “That is okay, just fight. No matter what, I believe that they are your enemies right?”

“I don’t know.”

White Bird licked her lips, “But I hate their aura.”

“…”

…

At that moment, the Bonecrushers had pushed up and were charging at our defence like a flood. All of a sudden, Assassin Alliance’s frontline was forced back by 3-5 yards. We were Assassins and our strength was totally surpressed by the Bonecrushers. It was normal that we were being forced back.

“Don’t retreat!”

I raised my hand and used Apprehension+Dragon Will in the crowd. I said solemnly, “If we retreat we will lose our advantage. Push up and counter attack!”

All of a sudden, Mundane Slaughter, Moonlight Firefly, Nine Song etc were bathed in healing light as they waved their daggers to fight back. In the backline, our only Mage October Warm Sun started to channel and toss Flame Whirlpool+Ice Phoenix Current into the crowd. Ah Fei raised his staff but unfortunately, his level was too low. He was a level 69 Mage and was dressed in purple equipment. He touched the level 103 monster and it felt like he was tickling them.

“You!”

On the frontline, Orange Night stood tall and didn’t move at all. He stood on the spot like a mountain. He waved his spear and used Giant Dragon Storm+God Dragon Descends into the crowd. Dragon energy surged about and caused the health bar of the Bonecrushers to tremble. At that moment, White Bird attacked too. The broken sword flashed blue and sliced on the bodies of the Bonecrushers. In a blink of an eye, four were killed.

Based on Illusionary Moon’s event system, pet kills were considered in the Master’s points. Although only 20-30% were included but it wasn’t little. This was why my points exceeded Lin Xi and Feng Canghai. Of course, the biggest dark horse in the rankings should be Limitless’s top Mage Yanshi Bumou. He was just too strong and crushed the players who were supposed to be contenders for the next top player.

I didn’t understand much about Yanshi Bumou but I believe that he will quickly gain the attention of other Winter Sun City players. After all, he might be Winter Sun City’s strongest mage. At least in terms of killing monsters, he was better than Mars River.

…

“You damn people!”

On the frontlines, Bonecrushers roared out in rage while attacking the people ahead of them. They smashed their sharp maces and hammers down and used Boncrushing Strike on people around. Even people like Mundane Slaughter and Moonlight Firefly couldn’t handle it. More people joined in but they were being forced back. We swapped around but even so, Assassins were being tossed up. Our close to 30+ yard frontline was on the verge of collapsing.

Not far away, Lingyan Pavilion had collapsed. Arrogance Lingyun was down to low health. he turned around and shouted towards me, “Guild Leader July, we have to retreat, what about you?”

“Ah?”

I was stunned, “We shall hold on for a while more, you can retreat first!”

“Okay!”

In a blink of an eye, the 30+ people of Lingyan Pavilion retreated and headed towards Winter Sun City.

We were under more pressure!

“Healers, go all out!”

I commanded while using all my skills too. I used Flames and was instantly bathed in flames. I used Dark Shadow Jump around while mixing in skills to kill more and more monsters. Even then, Assassin Alliance started to lose members. We were just under so much pressure!

At that moment, the formation on our left collapsed. The Bonecrushers roared and pushed down the stone wall. As they smashed their hammers into the crowd, For Dreams couldn’t hold on anymore. After 7-8 attacks, Wine and Poems was down to 17%. His face was ashen white, “Leave! Retreat. We can’t remain here. The backline protect Siyu, let’s leave!”

“Yes boss!”

…

Soldiers being defeated was like mountains falling.

For Dreams’s collapse happened in an instance. Bonecrushers surged in from the left and started to attack Assassin Alliance members. We were surrounded by all three sides.

“We can’t hold on!”

After using Flames of Karma to kill a Bonecrushers, I said solemnly, “I will hold them back. Fanchen, Moonlight Firefly, lead everyone back to Extreme Dust Mountain!”

“Okay, you be careful.”

“En.”

Behind me, Mundane Slaughter and Moonlight Firefly brought everyone to retreat. I gritted my teeth and I had to hold them back. If they chased, our Assassin Formation wouldn’t be able to handle it. Lighting surged around me as I entered Darkness Transformation. My stats and resistance increased. I charged into the crowd of monsters and started to kill them!

In the distance, Lin Songyan’s hollered, “We can’t hold on. most guilds have retreated, July Wildfire’s Assassin Alliance was gone too. If we stay here, we would be holding up the rear for the entire Winter Sun City!”

“There is no need, that shouldn’t be the case either.”

Feng Canghai beheaded a Bonecrushers before saying, “Retreat! Cavalries at the back, help everyone hold up the rear!”

“Yes leader!”

In the end, Elements retreated. Winds of Battle and Limitless gave the order to retreat too.

The last to retreat was With You. They were 150 meters away from me. From afar, Lin Xi waved her Heaven Sword Umbrella and sword energy exploded at the monsters. She looked towards me and frowned like she wanted to speak but she stopped. She retracted her Heaven Sword Umbrella and left.

…

So I was the last player to retreat. I was surrounded by numerous Bonecrushers. I kept Orange Night and White Bird and used my strong stats to kill the monsters for 5 minutes. At this moment, the basic lifesteal was enough to allow me to fight indefinitely. I didn’t need to use Blood Drawing Blade at all!

I turned around.

In the distance, the forest gave off a sinister and dark aura. My Darkness Spiritual Ruin buzzed like it was warning me that a Dimension Legion expert was about to enter. If I didn’t leave, I wouldn’t be able to leave later!

Leave!

I used Dark Shadow Jump and charged towards Extreme Dust Mountain.
