The Legendary Thief

Chapter 135 (Turn of Fate)

Chapter 135 (Turn of Fate)

Young and Frivolous roughly estimated and immediately reported, “There are about one thousand people. Although not too many, but we certainly can’t stand it now. We don’t even have half a fighters at the rear!”

Murong Shan Shan frowned at a loss. After some thinking, I said, “Don’t we still have 3,000 members in the city? Give me the right to speak in the guild. I’ll issue some orders.”

Because there were too many members in the guild, to avoid people crowding the screen, so currently, only Murong Shan Shan and the captains had the right to speak in the guild channel. I was just an ordinary member and would need special approval to make an announcement.

Soon after, Murong Shan Shan established my rank, I also immediately received a system notification. The time was pressing, so I quickly announced in the guild channel, “I’m informing you all a bad news. We’re trapped in the valley and can be crushed down anytime. To all members in Silvermoon City, please a.s.semble at the open area outside of East Gate. Whether or not we can defend our ‘Swords and Roses’ guild’s dignity all depend on the outcome of this battle. I’ll send someone to temporarily serve as the team’s captain, please cooperate with his orders.”

From the list of players currently residing in the city, I selected a level 38 Knight called “Sun Never Sets”. He was Murong Shan Shan’s school cla.s.smate from the Mathematics department and should be reliable. At the moment, there weren’t many high-level players, so he should be able to play his role.

I quickly added “Sun Never Sets” as a friend and promoted him to the captain’s position. He also didn’t hesitate and immediately went outside the city to gather the members.

Since the matter in the city had been settled, now, the top priority was to hold on before the reinforcement arrived. I looked at Romantic World’s troops in front of me, they were on the verge of collapsing already. If there were no attacks coming from the rear, in a few minutes, we were surely able to break their defense.

I gently tapped Murong Shan Shan on the shoulder and said, “I’m going to bring some people to protect our rear. I’m taking Young and Frivolous first squadron. Can you hold it here?”

Murong Shan Shan chuckled and said, “If you can, why can’t I?”

“Okay, then it’s decided.”

I immediately released my Frozen Blade upon an enemy fighter to freeze him and carried my sword retreating backward while I said in the guild channel, “Young and Frivolous and his first squadron to retreat from the front lines and follow me to hold off their forces from the city at the back. Once our reinforcement arrived, we’ll pincer the enemy.”

“Okay.”

Young and Frivolous quickly complied. Nearly 800 members of the first squadron immediately withdrew from the front line, leaving only less than 600 people with Murong Shan Shan. However, they should be enough to withstand Romantic Master’s remaining forces. Besides, Murong Shan Shan’s Sword Qi alone would scare Romantic World’s people to not daring to step forward.

Under my leadership, the nearly 200 Swordsmen and Knights were like an iron chain cutting off the enemy forces attacking at the rear. The 200 people barely formed a not very strong defensive line. Young and Frivolous led the long-range unit to continuously support our attack. For the moment, the forces’ strength were in balance.

People were dying continuously. Although the quality of our players was a little higher, but everyone was tired after battling for so long. Some of them didn’t prepare well and had almost used up their potions.

A few minutes later, the number of the enemies continued to increase. Their players who had died also quickly rushed out of the city to rejoin the battle.

Young and Frivolous gritted his teeth and said, “Brother Cabbage, this won’t do. Our people keep dying. Their people keep on coming back after they died. From what I see, there are already more than 2,000 people in front of us. If this continues, sooner or later, we’ll be wiped out.”

“Our backup members will be gathered soon.”

As if comforting myself, I replied to Young and Frivolous, “We’ll definitely win. Romantic Master is nothing.”

I sent a short message to ask Sun Never Sets about the situation: “How many people has been a.s.sembled at the moment? Our situation here is really turning bad already.”

Sun Never Sets replied: “Currently, we’ve gathered only about 1,500 players. There are many players leveling at the moment, and the others aren’t willing to PK. We can’t force them.”

It made sense. Not everyone was like us, warlike. So I quickly said to Sun Never Sets, “It should be enough. Wait for another five minutes and then immediately come here to attack from behind. We will then pincer them together.”

“Okay.”

Sun Never Sets replied excitingly.

I thought for a while and then said again in the guild channel, “Fellow guild members, are there any of you currently training in Silvermoon Mountant? Please gather in the valley exit. In five minutes, please launch an attack once against Romantic World’s forces, it would really be helpful to Murong Shan Shan.”

I intentionally mentioned Murong Shan Shan’s name. Sure enough, soon after, many players sent me a text informing that they had gathered in the valley exit.

Simple calculation; there were more than 300 people leveling in Silvermoon Mountain valley. If within five minutes, more than 100 people could be gathered, the impact created shouldn’t be small.

The minutes pa.s.sed by the seconds. I never thought that five minutes would be so long. Romantic Master’s and Mad Warrior’s group were determined to destroy us all in this mountain valley. Their pincer was getting tighter, their offensive was also increasingly violent.

“d.a.m.n, it’s as if these animals had eaten some **.” (TL Note: That ** was in the original text)

Young and Frivolous cursed. He was standing behind me. He said that he would protect me, but he was probably thinking that the defensive line here was more solid, and it would give him a better protection.

“Swish swish…”

Two crisp sound was heard, two fighters on our side were simultaneously killed by some Thieves. Our defense line, which was already barely holding, finally created a gap, which the enemy quickly flooded in through.

“Not good,” My heart cried in panic. I immediately pulled over Young and Frivolous from behind to close the gap, and then I rushed toward the gap myself. Our fighters were already on the verge of dying, and soon, we had to use the Mages to fill the gap…

Ignoring Young and Frivolous crazy screaming, with several cuts, I killed the Thieves in front of me, and then, I stood guard at the gap. This was for my own good. The warriors on our side began to fall down one by one. Soon, all of them will collapse.

It was a critical moment when from the sound of fighting spread from the enemy’s rear.

“Ha ha, our people has finally…” Before Young and Frivolous finished his words, a Swordman interrupted him with his sword. He retreated in panic.
