Chapter 1105 - Second Defense Line

Chapter 1105: Second Defense Line

Wild Wolves did not disappoint Dream Clouds.

The dozens of top-class elites were like a sharp saber that cut deep into the perimeter of Lovely Land. When the Class One Hall members went up against them, they were cut down. Hundreds of people were killed effortlessly. Those Wild Wolves acted swiftly. Before Lovely Land could react to the situation and cry out in alarm, they forced their way through, and a blood path was instantly left behind in the defense line outside the headquarters.

Even though the number of casualties they suffered was not great, the perfect iron wall defense outside Lovely Land was cut down. The archers were either killed or had their attention diverted.

An empty spot appeared in the air that was filled with arrows.

Rumble!

Horse hooves thundered against the ground. A large group of Class One Hall members made their horses stop and drew their bows while they were protected by Wild Wolves.

“Fire!”

Countless arrows were released from this group of vanguards. The arrow shower shot into two sides of the defense line in Lovely Land. In an instant, it caused quite a large degree of chaos and deaths.

The disadvantage of a group that was spontaneously created was instantly shown.

As Class One Hall forced their way inside and counterattacked, the Domino’s effect quickly appeared at the defense line at the perimeter of Lovely Land. The gap that Wild Wolves opened quickly spread out and expanded to its left and right.

As for Class One Hall, they began to spread out their area of invasion like a mighty wave in the direction Dream Clouds commanded them to. Class One Hall’s momentum in their counterattack was set in stone!

Since the battle line was too long and most of the members were solo players, when they faced this sudden and fierce counterattack, many people were instantly caught off guard.

However, the commander did not panic.

Ji Feng stood at a high spot and watched the chaos spread toward him. Even as defeat seemed to be approaching him, he did not move. He scowled, but he showed no panic.

“Vice Sect Master Ji, should we fight?”

The eighty thousand or so people in the headquarters still held their bows tightly and were ready for battle. Up to this point of the fight, the people in the headquarters had not fired a single shot.

All those who were itching to fight and a few former members of Ji Feng’s sect stood beside Ji Feng. They could not hold back from rubbing their fists against their palm and asked for permission to fight. “Class One Hall has already arrived at our walls.”

Ji Feng cast a glance at his old friends and spoke with a steady tone. “We cannot fall into disorder. Happy has ordered us before this that before it’s time, we are not to lose sight of a main goal just for a little gain.”

When they heard their leader bring Happy’s name to the table, the group instantly fell silent and no longer tried to persuade Ji Feng otherwise. They just stared at the enemies who slowly approached the wall with burning gazes.

*****

To the east of Lovely Land’s headquarters, as the last Lovely Land member within sight stubbornly fought to his very bitter end, a group of elite Wild Wolves gathered once more beside Peach Blossom like phantoms.

Peach Blossom surveyed the area.

All forty-seven of them were there. None were missing.

Golden Rakkhasa and the others smiled faintly in the group. “Good job.”

“As expected of a ragtag bunch. They don’t even have a lot of top-class elites. If they only have this strength, why don’t we just slaughter our way inside?!”

Right when he finished speaking, Peach Blossom’s cold and grave voice traveled into his ears. “Don’t you find it strange that we didn’t find a single top-class elite at the perimeter of the defense line, and Happy as well as One Emperor never showed up to intercept us?”

A few Wild Wolves also found this a little abnormal.

They would have dismissed it if Happy only made a single mistake, but it was strange if he continuously underestimated his enemies and showed weakness!

“You’re thinking too much. The battlefield is so huge, and we attacked really quickly. Happy won’t even have to receive a single messenger pigeon. It’s impossible for him to notice the situation over here. He might be at some other place saving the situation over there. Besides, isn’t it better if Happy didn’t appear. We’ll slaughter our way into their headquarters, and when he arrives, we might no longer have such an easy time.” Golden Rakkhasa said with a tone that suggested he thought this was completely normal.

“Rakkhasa is right. We shouldn’t think too much. Speed is the most important asset in war. While Happy isn’t here yet, we might as well break Lovely Land’s second defense line, or else, when Happy arrives, we’ll be in for a hard fight!” Someone in the group agreed.

Peach Blossom might find that there was something off about the situation, but both armies were engaged in a fierce battle right now, and it was indeed not good for them to continue stalling the fight. Besides, their commander was Dream Clouds. She was the one who had to take care of the entire situation.

Her heart became at ease. Then, Peach Blossom cast her gaze to the tall wall in front of her.

The group arrived at the foot of the wall and slowly looked up.

“Sure is tall.”

“It’ll be easy to jump up, but during the duration of time we’re airborne to the moment we land, we’ll be in grave danger.”

The group was fully composed of international mercenaries. They knew very clearly just how fatal it was even if they were airborne for 0.01 seconds.

Besides, the area inside was full of people who had not fired a single arrow and had never taken the initiative to provide reinforcements to the people outside. They were a completely independent second line of defense, and they could already imagine just how terrifying the explosive power they could release in an instant would be.

“Have Class One Hall lure away their firepower, and we’ll explore the depths of their strength.

Peach Blossom’s suggestion received silent agreement from all Wild Wolves.

Ten seconds later, Class One Hall launched a fierce offense at Lovely Land.

A group of people violently attacked the wall at its foot. More people also used the wall as a platform, and with nimble movements, they climbed to the highest point of the wall.

Of course, these people did not stupidly show up at the top of the wall. Instead, they grabbed the edges of the wall with one hand and had their bodies stuck close to the wall.

The group who were stuck at the wall looked at each other, and at the same time, they brought out some black spherical items from their Universe Bags.

This scene caused Wild Wolves to be slightly terrified.

At that moment, they finally gained a certain degree of understanding toward Dream Clouds’ methods.

Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullet!

There were a lot of them, in fact.

While the Wild Wolves looked at each other, the elites from Class One Hall had already raised their hands at the same time. With extremely fast movements, they threw their Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullets into Lovely Land’s headquarters using the same way as they would throw hidden weapons.

Whoosh! WHOOSH!

Almost at the same time they attacked, dense sounds of air being pierced through rang nonstop above their heads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The people from Class One Hall quickly noticed that the frequency of the arrow showers coming out Lovely Land’s headquarters dropped swiftly. They no longer hesitated. More than one hundred people flipped over the walls at the same time and jumped in. More followed behind them.

A few elite Wild Wolves were also tempted by Class One Hall’s arrangements and methods. Once they received Peach Blossom’s signal, they mixed into the crowd.

But when those elite Wild Wolves jumped over the wall, they were quickly scared out of their wits by the lineup inside.

Those Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullets did not explode among the crowd inside.

It seemed like the Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullets were already shot down by someone inside while they were still airborne. The burning flames and smoke turned into a defense line that was beneficial to those standing on the ground in Lovely Land.

Those Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullets did not affect the people in Lovely Land. The people who jumped in instantly turned into snacks for the people inside. They were instantly faced with a dense wave of arrows that immediately pierced them full of arrows.

“AH!”

Thud! Thud!

Screams of pain rose, and when they were mixed with the sounds of bodies being pierced through, they formed a sudden mournful song that continued singing nonstop.

The people from Class One Hall were completely stunned.

While they were still in the air, they were shot full of arrows. Their body fortifications were torn open, and their true qi spilled out madly. They did not even have the strength to maintain balance. Their bodies were pinned on the walls behind them, and they fell from the sky.

All died, and none survived.

Once the elite Wild Wolves jumped over the wall, they regretted their decision.

But they knew that it was already impossible for them to live. He gritted his teeth, and the crazed urge rose in them, urging them to disrupt the lineup of Lovely Land even if they had to risk their lives.

“AH!!”

Those few elites used the Class One Hall members next to them as their shields, and once they landed on the ground, they kicked those Class One Hall members.

Bang!

A few Class One Hall members did not even know what happened before they were set up and killed in the air. Their corpses, along with the arrows in them, were thrown at Lovely Land’s defense line with a violent gust of wind.

*****

At the front of the crowd in the headquarters of Lovely Land were a few Tang Sect disciples with extraordinary presences. They stared at the enemies who jumped down from the wall coldly, and their left arms were positioned in front of their chests. The exquisite repeating crossbows fixed on their right forearms were filled with two rows of dense crossbow bolts that shone with a cold light.

They were the ones who had easily crushed the Thunderous Lightning Fire Bullets that shot into the headquarters just now.

They were the backups Ji Feng arranged in this place. He had been worried that there would be top-class elites who would be mixed in the crowd causing unnecessary casualties on their side, and he used them to strengthen his defense.

Whoosh!

The sound the elite Wild Wolves made when they tumbled and landed on the ground was incredibly light, showing great skill. The speed in which they landed was completely different compared to the speed the corpses landed, and these people narrowed their eyes.

“Elites incoming!”

They scowled. These Tang Sect elites resolutely gave up on using crossbows to attack. They swiftly had their hands return to their waists.

Left hand! Right hand! Left hand! Right hand!

The Lovely Land members only saw the Tang Sect members continuously spin on their feet. They alternated between swinging their left hands and right hands, and in an instant, they had already swung both their hands four to five times. Their speed was frightening to behold. A multitude of objects that should not be in the air in front of them instantly showed up.

All sorts of hidden weapons danced in the air like butterflies flitting through flowers.

When the elite Wild Wolves landed, they might have successfully kicked away the corpses, but the sound of the arrow showers piercing through the air still caused their ability to listen to the wind and determine locations to be much weaker than before.

The corpses blocking their path also limited their vision.

When they kicked those corpses away, their pupils quickly shrank.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Those few people had not even managed to take a few steps forward before they were quickly stabbed full of all sorts of hidden weapons, flying needles, sleeve arrows, throwing knives, spiral needles, Butterfly Darts, and other items.

Each of them either contained the ability to break defenses or contained poison, and all of them were incredibly fatal.

The pitiful elite Wild Wolves had not even managed to show their outstanding skills before they were killed by the fierce attacks from those Tang Sect elites, which they had been accumulating for a long time. Their bodies were stuck full with all sorts of metallic objects when they fell to the ground.

“Beautiful!”

“Good job!”

Multiple Lovely Land members saw this. When they saw the Tang Sect members dissolve this considerably huge danger, they were generous in heaping praises on these Tang Sect members.

*****

Peach Blossom had been quietly listening to any sign of movement inside the wall from outside.

There was no sound of any weapons clashing against each other, and there was no sign of the signal they had previously agreed upon. As time passed, Peach Blossom’s expression grew much graver.

The fierce offense had not only instantly destroyed Class One Hall’s probing attack, the other sides were also forced back in this manner.

“Use the second plan!” Peach Blossom shut her eyes and thought for a while before she resolutely changed her battle tactic. The group of Wild Wolves quickly rolled up their sleeves to reveal the shining rows of throwing knives hidden underneath.

Items that were the size of fists appeared in Peach Blossom’s hands.

They looked at each other.

Whoosh!

In a show of great teamwork, the group jumped up at the same time.

Slap! Slap!

They stuck close to the wall and grabbed its edges lightly. Then, they rubbed the fingers of their right hand, and the clanging sound of metal rubbing against metal rose nonstop.

More than ten sharp blades in the shape of leaves shot out one after another from these Wild Wolves’ hands.
