Chapter 595: Chapter 18: Gale Dance, Sunset Over the Long River_2

"Guild master, they’re attacking the Magic Altar on the other side!"

"I’m aware. The Immortal Masters aren’t inside the city; they’re at the front of the formation. They want to get upfront and start their large-scale attack—hhmph, wishful thinking. All units, on my command—advance!"

We can’t wait for the enemy to actually get the Magic Altar operational; it’s time to launch an attack.

The Dragon Soaring formation began to slowly advance forward,

while the Azure Dragon Association opted for a defensive stance, standing their ground as both armies gradually closed in on each other.

The battle was initiated by the remote units from both sides.

Listen to Dragon Roar was the first to initiate the attack. She had already prepared the Array, with all the elements of the Thunder Skill set in place. As soon as Long Xingtianxia gave the command to attack, she immediately began chanting and casting spells.

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, heed my command, command the winds and clouds, shake the heavens and the earth, Thunder God, aid me, unleash the thunderbolt, summon the divine thunder—swift as the law!]

With a swing of her treasure sword, a bolt of lightning struck out of thin air.

Boom! The lightning struck down into the formation, blasting out a swath of red damage numbers.

The power of this lightning was not minor; it could wipe out half a person’s Blood Volume in one hit, and the players struck by the lightning were shouting in dismay.

"Maintain formation! Don’t panic, everyone pop potions, the lightning can’t kill us."

A bolt of lightning could deal 300-500 AOE (Area of Effect) damage. As long as one’s Health wasn’t too low, they wouldn’t get one-shot. Since the lightning did not have a fixed point of impact, as long as one wasn’t hit consecutively, they wouldn’t be killed.

Boom boom boom!

Several bolts of lightning later, casualties finally occurred.

One player, with low health who had just consumed a potion and hadn’t yet fully recovered, got hit again and immediately, while screaming, exploded into a pile of Equipment.

This scene gave the surrounding players a big fright; this mode of death was a first-time experience for them.

Normally, you’d just lie down on the ground when you died, but this explosive scattering of items all over looked more spectacular than even a BOSS’s death scene, like opening a treasure chest.

Zhao Qingyun was initially worried that his people would be scared off, but then immediately some players picked up the drops with high spirits.

"Ha ha, it’s a Blue Equipment, jackpot!"

"Great Returning Pill—nice loot!"

"Hey, there’s even a Magic Artifact! This guy was loaded."

The player who got exploded cursed, "Fuck you, why me, I..."

Zhao Qingyun directly kicked the unlucky player out of the voice chat to avoid affecting morale.

Watching the lightning continue to strike one after another, Zhao Qingyun felt a headache coming on.

"Miao, can you take out their Master Yu Lei?"

"No can do, boss. There are too many people behind the enemy; I’m being watched closely in the sky and don’t dare to dive in."

In the sky, Miao could feel the faces of the archers on the ground tracking his every movement; he wouldn’t dare to swoop down.

Not only were there archers below, but there were also a bunch of melee fighters around the Thunder Master, and even a Demon Master who had transformed into a giant ape, just waiting for him to descend so they could mob him.

"Ah Gui, see if there’s a chance to sneak an attack. Miao, maintain aerial vision, be ready with your Call the Wind Skill."

"Understood."

"The army, on my command—advance!" Zhao Qingyun also issued the command to advance. They couldn’t just stand still and take the bombing, and retreating was even more out of the question. This disorderly mob might break apart once they start retreating; the only choice was to advance.

One side aimed to prevent the enemy from building the Magic Altar, the other to avoid the endless bombardment of Thunder Skills. Both sides were eager to engage in combat. As they slowly moved forward, they soon entered the maximum firing range of the remote weapons.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, some of the archers with longer ranges began loosing arrows.

However, they were still too far, and only a few arrows managed to reach the enemy’s ranks. Moreover, due to the distance, whom they hit was entirely up to luck, with no real lethal force.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyun ordered a halt to the advance.

"Miao, it’s all on you now—archers, loose your arrows!"

Miao let out a fierce eagle cry, diving close to the ground, flapping his wings powerfully.

Demon Art—Hurricane Wings!

Every stroke of the wings whipped up a Gale, blowing towards the Dragon Soaring formation.

The arrows took advantage of the wind, and immediately, the firing range of the remote troops increased by a third. A dense rain of arrows continuously fell into the Dragon Soaring ranks.

On the other hand, the arrows released by Dragon Soaring were swept away mid-flight by the wind, which was completely different from having a tailwind.

Instantly, the Azure Dragon Association took the upper hand with their ranged firepower.

However, Dragon Soaring also had their Mage troops.

Summoning strong winds is one of the most common spells, with similar ones present in various factions.

Among them, the Third-tier Taoist Skill—Call the Wind Skill—is the most common.

At Long Xingtianxia’s command, several Taoists started chanting and casting talismans.

The leader, a Heavenly Master, murmured an incantation.

"The wind comes from the east, it sweeps away the clouds, roaring wildly, swallowing mountains and seas. Summon the Gale—swift as the law!"

Daoist Skill—Call the Wind Skill!

In a moment, a violent Gale arose, converging streams of wind blew towards the Azure Dragon Association’s ranks.

A few Taoists collaborated in their spellcasting, proving to be even more powerful than Miao’s Demon Art, managing to blow Miao’s summoned wind back towards their own ranks.

Long Xingtianxia seized the opportunity to order a volley of arrows; this time, it was the Azure Dragon Association that suffered heavily.

"Heh, you think you’re the only ones with Taoists? All guilds that have the Call the Wind Skill, let’s go!" With Zhao Qingyun’s command, several Taoists from the Azure Dragon Association began to conjure their Call the Wind Skills, including an exceptionally powerful True Man, whose Call the Wind Skill was particularly mighty.

At this point, each side was casting their spells, both sides blowing wind, and for a time a ferocious Gale surged, with the violent airflows blowing towards each other. The clash even created several small tornadoes.
