Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1603: Chapter 181: Knight Corps, Charge!

Hill couldn’t hold back his smile.

Back then, Snow Cloud Peak let him mark three places.

One was under a narrow mountain path, suitable for a solo ambush, as the huge halo of the Dimensional Gate was impossible to hide.

If anyone really came out of there, it was an easily ignitable path that could only allow three or four people to dash down.

So this road was indeed unsuitable for a large group assault.

Snow Cloud Peak had, of course, prepared some surveillance means there. He suspected that the Great Sages intending to attack Hill might emerge from there.

The position Hill was now at seemed to focus on the Dimensional Gate ahead, but any movement on the mountain path to the right front would be immediately noticed.

Then, he could just punch them.

Another place was at the bottom of the river’s estuary.

Actually, Snow Cloud Peak anticipated the Moon Clan would open a gate from there.

After all, with Hill having cleared so many danger points, anyone with a bit of intelligence would suspect that the place just 500 meters from the main gate might be filled with traps.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let the Doomsday and Wenjian families turn their fortresses into hedgehogs.

Moreover, he had indeed laid many traps... The first batch of the Moon Clan that rushed out was almost instantly sent back to town, and the second batch perished under the crossfire on the fortresses.

In contrast, over by the canal, afraid Ellie might spot them, he had laid the traps on the shore.

If the Moon Clan came from there, they would still suffer heavy casualties, but more would survive than now.

Snow Cloud Peak lay in front of the command tower’s glass window with a surprised expression: ”These Moon Clans, are they out of their mind?”

”What now?” Perfect Bald also looked confused: ”The defenses on our city walls didn’t even get touched, and they were all wiped out in an instant!

Will they come out again?”

”They should still come out.” Hard Wind calmly put down the binoculars in his hand, ”I saw some invisible spy eyes thrown out.

Do you want the knights to push a wave?”

”Have the traps in front of the main road been triggered?” Snow Cloud Peak turned his head and asked.

”Not one wasted.”

”Then push a wave.” Snow Cloud Peak patted the window, ”Let Thunder lead the Knight Corps in a charge.

The Moon Clan loves this kind of play; they will definitely come out for a clash.

Have the Priest Corps ready to go down for rescue at any time.”

”Why go through all this trouble?” Old Age Striking King scratched the screen in front, ”Just wipe them clean and be done!

And, why can’t I go out?”

”Today, only one Female Priest can shine.” Snow Cloud Peak said without blinking, ”Cunlü, are you ready? Does she like the new clothes Bai Nishang prepared?”

”Cunlü quite likes the Flying Sky set.” Hard Wind said in a peculiar tone, ”It’s rare she can cosplay so accurately. She’s very happy.”

”Why that tone?” Old Age Striking King asked in confusion, ”She came out wearing that outfit similar to a bikini, and you didn’t mind?”

”Nonsense, why would I have any reaction? She used to be a model and even won awards!” Hard Wind said casually, ”I certainly don’t mind this in the game!

But lately, to showcase more divinity, she’s been listening to Buddhist music daily, with the Diamond Sutra, Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra, and Great Auspicious Goddess Mantra playing on repeat.

I’m almost becoming desireless and contented too.”

The people in the command tower couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

It’s not that they didn’t want to hold it back.

”Uh... Cunlü is always serious about her work.” Old Age Striking King said with some difficulty, ”You know... she raises pigs quite well...”

Hard Wind gave her a quirky look: ”If you can’t think of anything to praise, you could choose silence or not say the rest.”

”Hehe.” Old Age Striking King beat a rare retreat, hiding to the side.

”When should she appear?” Qiuqiu asked Snow Cloud Peak, ”When Thunder retreats, should she go out and release the Golden Spring Water?”

That is a great enhancement skill exclusive to the Goddess of Agriculture: placing a golden fountain of light, each person marked by the Priest’s Mark can receive a splash of spring water as they pass by.

The function is to instantly restore a third of the health bar for the injured and then, in the following three minutes, recover 100 hit points every three seconds.

But the tricky thing about this divine art is that the priest must mark enough people within the three minutes the fountain condenses.

However, Cunlü has always been swift and agile, being among the best in the agricultural priestess group.

Speaking of which, this divine art is popular among girls. Though agricultural priests don’t rank among the top healers, this divine art makes them one of the top three choices for many girls.

It’s too beautiful.

The magnificent fountain, the light mist flying everywhere, and the gentle-faced female priest in the mist.

Just that the wheat-colored uniform is a bit ugly; the patterns on the clothes are too complex, resembling a floral cotton jacket.

But truly, those who choose this profession for beauty wouldn’t wear the uniform.

Snow Cloud Peak shook his head, ”That would be when they have the most people, but they’re too busy chasing and killing people then! Who has time to look at beauties?

Don’t you know your temperament?

When you get heated up, can you even care who is standing in front?

First, have the priests on the city wall fully heal Thunder’s group, then let them stand off.

Once the standoff lasts for a while and the interest from the opposition starts to wane, let Cunlü go out.

Are the supporting cast ready?”

”Rest assured.” Susu smiled faintly, ”For double the military exploits, I have found two hundred willing to wear uniforms, all genuine girls!

Ensuring that apart from skill casting sound being pleasant, they won’t steal any spotlight.”

”I can only rely on you for this.” Snow Cloud Peak candidly admitted his ignorance in this area, ”Although I don’t understand why that eye-catching uniform becomes, uh, backdrop.

But if you think it works, then it’s fine.

I just want the results.”

”Don’t worry.” Old Age Striking King whispered lightly, ”Heh~ we’ve rehearsed many times.

Moreover, can’t I heal or not?

I will just swing my fists then!”

”No.” Snow Cloud Peak turned to look at her, ”You have your task; after Hill comes out, you should follow him.”

”Hmm?”

Snow Cloud Peak smiled slightly, ”Power! Terrifying power.

It’s best to let others think that Teraxil’s specialty is magic professionals with full power enhancement.

Cunlü attracts overt attention.

And you are the hidden focal point.”

”What are you talking about...” Old Age Striking King asked in confusion.

”Ah ah~ read more history and mythbooks, sometimes it will open your eyes.” Snow Cloud Peak lowered his head, ”Alright~ I won’t say what I shouldn’t say.

Go and do your jobs now!

You’re all veterans; don’t make me say unpleasant things~

If anyone fails, I’ll shame them on the forum for 100 years!”

Lind silently listened to these Undead Tribe exchanges from the corner, suddenly flooded with doubts about his past self: look at these shrewd people before him, how did he ever think of himself as unparalleled?

He couldn’t even follow the thought process of the Old Age Striking King, let alone Snow Cloud Peak!

If he had truly left Basia back then, his outcome might not have been as good as Ellie’s!

Fortunately, fortunately, Lind glanced skyward secretly, thinking he should pray for the Great Sage Belfran: Yes, this one is too formidable, indisputable in strength, just wish that the girls he meets in future won’t have Ellie’s nature.

Battlefield Lightning, however, swiftly organized the Great Knight Corps.

After all, the knights came from different families, even their mounts were different, and the only thing usable was the triangular formation.

With various large triangles enclosing small ones, and angles overlapping and interlocking in various ways.

All they needed was the consistency brought by their formations; as for battalion bonuses, those were extravagant hopes with this large magic array.

Everyone could only rely on the potions they drank and the buffs from priests and mages to increase their combat strength.

Conveniently, the Moon Clan on the opposite side also started charging out.

He suddenly raised a giant banner in his hand that read ”Proud Sky Alliance,” whistled, and charged forward with the flagpole, which had a spearhead at the end, held horizontally.

The knights followed him like a rushing torrent, charging directly at the Dimensional Gate.

If the Moon Clan in front couldn’t stop them, if that gate was two-way, they might even charge directly into the gate.

Within a thousand meters, a knight’s charge never turns back, nor can it.
