After swallowing the Ant Egg Essence, Little Rain hurriedly consumed Mana Potions. Having now over 50,000 Mana Points, it would take some time for him to fully recover without the use of potions.
“Now that we have a Forbidden Magician in our ranks, I’ve come up with a plan,” said Billy Boy just as everyone was still taken aback at the revelation of Little Rain being a Magician who knew Forbidden Spells.
“Do enlighten us,” said Jiang Fei.
“Guild master, correct me if I’m wrong but, I’m sure that you are very close to the guild master of The Aristocrats?”
“Yeah.”
“Could you contact them? Ask of them would like to participate in our battle to defeat the Outpost of Twilight City!”
“Aren’t you the one who said that one or two guilds could never change the tide of war?” said Jiang Fei.
“Haha! Guild master, these are the things that you should have learned! There’s this saying in war, ‘No matter how strong the wind blows, the mountain cannot bow to it.’ Even though we are the lesser few in the war, as long as we remain undefeated, the players of Twilight City will have their morale lowered. On the other side of things, Dawnlight City players will be easily swayed to our cause. Once they know that we cannot be defeated, players will join in to fight. By then, it would be too late for Twilight City to try anything to stop us!” said Billy Boy.
“That indeed is something I should’ve learned. At the meantime, I’ll leave you to it. I’ll contact the other guild. Do inform me if there any changes in your plan,” said Jiang Fei. While Jiang Fei was a champion in PvE content, Billy Boy was the champion in PvP. If he ensures that victory is at hand, Jiang Fei had no say in the subject. Jiang Fei would not mind even if they lost. He did not mind having to run amok fighting in the field with Billy Boy.
As predicted by Jiang Fei, the moment he asked Han Tianyu about fighting together, Han Tianyu immediately replied with a yes without even asking for further details.
“Haha! Didn’t I say earlier that we would be fighting side by side?” said Han Tianyu.
“I hope that the system would grant us some kind of reward if we do manage to take down the Outpost in Twilight City!” said Happy Drunk. He was very cooperative when Han Tianyu pitched the idea of fighting along Empyreal Dragon against Twilight City. It was not Jiang Fei, but Billy Boy that Happy Drunk had his utmost trust in. Besides, even if they lost, there was nothing that they would have lost literally but time.
Two guilds as one would bring over 200,000 players to the front lines. It was a powerful force to be reckoned with and that had not even included Little Rain the Forbidden Magician and a Priest with Divine Art!
The Divine Art skill book was purchased by Han Tianyu from Jiang Fei for a hefty price. After so long, he had already let one of his members pick up and learn the skill. Currently, the two guilds had an extraordinary advantage in magic power which Billy Boy knew would greatly change the tide of war.
Billy Boy took charge as the commanding leader and led the two guilds of over 200,000 players to the war zone.
“Onward!” he bellowed loudly, sending powerful fervor to all players that heard him.
…
Soon, the massive army arrived at the war zone. Jiang Fei, who stood amongst those in the front, saw the scene where players filled the field until the ends of the horizon. There was literally no end to the number of players who took part in the war.
“Oh my…”
There were approximately over a million players present then. Luckily, the system had made things much easier. Opposing players were given striking color hues; Red and Blue.
“Try not to reveal your trump card. Follow the strategy we used yesterday. Players of Aristocrats, keep up behind Empyreal Dragon. That is all!” said Billy Boy.
With that, players of Empyreal Dragon started to get into formation. They had the experience hence the almost perfect cooperation.
An organized army of 200,000 would definitely cut down an enemy army of chaotic formation like a hot knife through butter. Even though they were significantly overwhelmed by sheer number, an organized army would stand out victorious.
It was not that Twilight City was lacking any strong guilds, but the Iron-Blood Alliance had received orders from Zhang Yangxu to not wrong Jiang Fei. However, the battlefield was large and no one could really identify anyone. Eventually, the Iron-Blood Alliance had allied itself with six others guilds of Twilight City and surrounded Empyreal Dragon and The Aristocrat with 550,000 players.
“Argh! Even the enemies know how to work together! Look at our own people! Trash thinks like trash, trying to get the trash to work under them!” Happy Drunk roared angrily. He had only just sent a request for assistance to all guild masters in Dawnlight City but had yet to receive any reply.
It was unfair to the others when compared to Empyreal Dragon and The Aristocrats. The two guilds had made their progress too fast and had taken what was almost considered as non-renewable resources. Naturally, the others would not dare to challenge the two guilds. As a result, it was challenging for the rest of the guilds in Dawnlight City to even move forward.
On the other hand, things at Twilight City was rather harmonious. When Iron-Blood Alliance had obtained their Territory Order, they built their territory slowly without posing any threat to the other guilds in that city. Even when they had become the strongest guild in Twilight, they had governed themselves with the structure that the other guilds did not see them as a threat but as an ally. Hence, when Iron-Blood Alliance made the call to arms, all the guilds were more than willing to lend a hand.
Concurrently, while Happy Drunk was rather anxious about the war, Billy Boy was calm and composed. He had absolute confidence knowing he had by his side two “weapons of mass destruction” ready to be deployed. If he still failed to destroy the enemy’s Outpost, he would not play in PvP fields anymore!
“Change formation! Compact formation! Move to the left wing and attack!” cried Billy Boy. The entire army followed his command and began to shrink in size. Without losing speed, the army began to charge toward the enemy’s left wing and attack.
“Guild master, if it isn’t too much, could you join the fight. This way, we would minimize the loss of men!” said Billy Boy with a sincere smile.
“Aye. Today, you’re are the commander. I’ll be listening to you!”
“Ah Fei! Shall I accompany you?” said Han Tianyu.
“You? Please. You’ll be dead weight!” Chen Xi scorned at Han Tianyu. The lazy bugger had been lazy to train his level or even considered looking at his equipment. If he fought alongside Jiang Fei, Han Tianyu would fall faster than a man slipping on a banana peel!
“Just let me roam alone. I wouldn’t have to worry about others this way!” said Jiang Fei. He then made his way to the front and summoned the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon.
The roar of the dragon was so loud that it attracted the attention of all players, be it Twilight or Dawnlight. All eyes were locked on to Jiang Fei and his dragon.
At that moment, Jiang Fei had become the beacon of hope amongst all Dawnlight City. The appearance of Jiang Fei was like a powerful adrenaline rush to all players of Empyreal Dragon and The Aristocrats. The previous day, Jiang Fei not showing up had made everyone think that he was not interested in the war and might not even make his appearance today. So when the dragon roared and Jiang Fei showed up, they knew that him alone, could change the tide of war.
At the far end of the spectrum, the players of Twilight City expected bad news once that dragon appeared. Jiang Fei alone did not pose much of a threat. However, his presence meant that the powerful black dragon was at his command. That alone had decreased the morale of Jiang Fei’s enemies by a notch.
