Chapter 89

The few assassins ultimately did not provoke the players crouching in Yuluo City to take action. They could not figure out what these few players were here for. Therefore, they chose not to alert the enemy prematurely.

The abnormal actions of the players from the Eastern Floating Island also left Hongyue Heiyue greatly puzzled. Various thoughts raced through his mind, and as each idea was rejected, his expression gradually darkened. He looked forward, and the deep, dark forest was eerily quiet, harboring no small amount of danger...

"Continue advancing," Hongyue Heiyue sent a message to all the players in Yuluo City. Regardless of whether it was intentional or just to scare them, Hongyue Heiyue could not let the team shrink back and stop.

Thousands of people moved forward with some momentum, their footsteps on the Maestra Forest ground merging into a dull "thud," "thud" sound...

Hongyue Heiyue looked back at the thousands of players on his side. Except for a few newbies, the rest had serious expressions and flickering eyes. He understood in his heart: The Dragon Chaser's Song was not that easy to defeat.

Players who had dealt with the Dragon Chaser's Song or played the same game knew that the Dragon Chaser's Song was even more formidable than imagined. Among these thousands of people, many had heard of it or had direct encounters with the Dragon Chaser's Song, so they knew its strength.

But as players, they would not admit defeat. It was just a game, why should they give up? However, even with this optimistic attitude, the players of Yuluo City still appeared somewhat worried, and their morale was definitely much lower.

Hongyue Heiyue knew all of this, but there was nothing he could do. He could only encourage everyone: "Everyone, defeating the Dragon Chaser's Song once has been my long-held wish, but I haven't had many opportunities. Now, I finally get to face him! I hope everyone won't snatch this chance from me. I want to take the Dragon Chaser's Song's head!"

It was a kind of half-joking motivational speech.

Of course, it was not without effect. The players all laughed at Hongyue Heiyue and said they would definitely snatch the Dragon Chaser's Song's head, which temporarily comforted their somewhat low spirits.

Yang Ye also smiled when he heard Hongyue Heiyue's words. It was best to have this kind of attitude, but whether they could really win was another question.

Actually, there was not much difference between the Eastern Floating Island and Yuluo City now. The equipment on both sides was about the same. The key was that the Dragon Chaser's Song was leading the Eastern Floating Island, while Hongyue Heiyue was leading Yuluo City, and the influence gap was significant. The morale boost was much lower. If Hongyue Heiyue were replaced by Piaomiao Zhi Xue, this battle would definitely be worth watching.

But, who knew until they fought?

The two armies slowly moved through the Maestra Forest, carefully guarding against possible attacks. However, without a full-scale battle, it was unlikely there would be any attacks, but it was still necessary to be cautious.

Compared to the somewhat heavy atmosphere in Yuluo City, the Eastern Floating Island was much more relaxed. The players were all laughing and chatting, very relaxed. They were led by the Dragon Chaser's Song, so the chances of winning were high...

Apart from equipment, this mindset and the obedience to the upper-level decision-makers were definitely key factors for victory, and the Dragon Chaser's Song understood this very well.

At first, he did not really want to be a commander, but later he thought it had been a long time since he had practiced command. It was just right to use these thousands of people for practice. If he lost, it was no big deal.

But when the system showed that the opponent was Hongyue Heiyue, the Dragon Chaser's Song also smiled. What a coincidence! He had an impression of Hongyue Heiyue, an old employee of Mengxue, diligent and strategic, but not particularly good at leading people or fighting. His operations were not the best... In short, in his view, Hongyue Heiyue was mediocre in everything.

So, the Dragon Chaser's Song did not bother with any cunning tactics. The few small fry he sent out earlier also found it boring. He had them scare Hongyue Heiyue a bit, making him nervous. The entire Eastern Floating Island army moved forward in a grand manner, with no attempt to hide.

A few minutes later, the assassins who had been lying in wait in the middle part of Yuluo City began to feel the ground tremble, the sound of many footsteps landing at once—

"Boom!"

The sound grew closer, and the faces of these people changed slightly, considering whether to retreat.

"Retreat," Hongyue Heiyue decisively chose to have them fall back. The Dragon Chaser's Song was a tough nut to crack!

Hongyue Heiyue was a bit annoyed. He had sent people to lie in wait in advance, but the other side directly brought a large force to confront them. He looked forward, vaguely hearing the approaching sound. With a determined heart, he shouted, "The Dragon Chaser's Song wants to fight us directly. Just fight when the time comes! Protect the other damage dealers, especially the mages!"

"Okay..."

"Understood..."

A series of replies came back.

A minute later, the two armies faced each other from a distance, the large teams stretching out like two long dragons, all glaring at each other, the atmosphere tense.

Under the tall trees of the Maestra Forest, the dim light made it hard to see the other side clearly.

When the two armies stopped, one person stepped forward from each side. On the Yuluo City side, it was naturally Hongyue Heiyue. Yang Ye was seeing this second-in-command of Mengxue for the first time. He glanced and saw an uncle-like figure, clearly older than the people around him. Was this an intentionally raised age setting or his natural appearance? Looking at Hongyue Heiyue from behind, the uncle had a straight back, and Yang Ye could faintly see a smile on his lips. His equipment was scattered but all high-quality, with two pieces of spirit gear and the rest gold, some of which were enchanted. Clearly, these were Yang Ye's handiwork, but he did not know where they came from.

Hongyue Heiyue took a few steps forward, stopped, and with a wave of his hand, laughed, "Dragon Chaser, not coming out?"

As soon as Hongyue Heiyue spoke, the restless crowds on both sides immediately quieted down, waiting for this legendary player. But unexpectedly—

"I'm just ashamed of you people, always playing these grand scenes. It's just a game, can't you say it in chat? Do you have to shout? Are you joking? Is there something wrong with your brains or are you just not smart enough?" A loud voice echoed through the forest, reaching everyone's ears, even making Yang Ye pause.

This person, was the Dragon Chaser's Song?

Yes, it was indeed the Dragon Chaser's Song!

As the voice faded, a person walked out from the crowd of the Eastern Floating Island. This person... was not walking in the middle of the team but on the right side of the Yuluo City players, far from the middle of Hongyue Heiyue's team... As he walked, he muttered, "What's going on, I'm in the middle of the team, damn, I walked wrong again..."

As he got closer, Yang Ye squinted to see clearly. The person's appearance did not surprise him much, but his equipment did.

First, his appearance: The Dragon Chaser's Song looked about 25 or 26, with a square face and a hint of heroism. He wore a tattered hat, had short hair, slightly messy eyebrows, and eyes that were neither too big nor too small, with a somewhat inscrutable gaze. His nose was neither too high nor too low, and his mouth was neither too big nor too small. Overall, his face was quite pleasant to look at, and he was a bit over 1.7 meters tall, a bit of a cripple.

He walked briskly, neither too steady nor overly flashy.

As for his equipment, it was truly opulent. Yang Ye, who had seen a lot, had seen plenty of equipment and handled many good pieces. He was in the process of gathering materials for his own Asura weapon, and by all accounts, he was a wealthy player. But seeing the Dragon Chaser's Song's equipment truly shocked him.

Weapon: A 35-level top-tier spirit staff with an additional skill, increasing magic damage by 10% and various other attributes; Body equipment: Helmet, shoes, and robe were all spirit gear, with extremely powerful attributes. The rest were gold with many enchantments, some of which were Yang Ye's handiwork, and he had a vague memory of them; Accessories: One bracelet and one ring were spirit gear, the necklace and the other ring were gold, the cloak was 35-level gold, and the battle accessory was 30-level spirit gear.

In total, a character had 13 pieces of equipment, and the Dragon Chaser's Song had 7 pieces of spirit gear, all of high level!

This equipment... was too good.

Yang Ye felt powerless. Even with the help of the miner's hat, he could not compete with the leader of a large guild... They had tens of thousands of people helping with equipment, which was much faster than Yang Ye grinding monsters and completing quests alone. Even if Yang Ye completed all the hidden quests, he probably would not match the daily income of some guilds...

In short, take it one step at a time.

The Dragon Chaser's Song's words made Hongyue Heiyue's face almost turn red, but he was a straightforward person and did not get angry over such words. Seeing the Dragon Chaser's Song walk to a nearby spot, he said calmly, "Dragon Chaser, why are you always like this? Can't you look a bit better? You're the No. 1 in the Chinese region, at least give us some face, okay?"

"None of your business," the Dragon Chaser's Song said with disdain, squinting at Hongyue Heiyue. "Hongyue Heiyue, right? Where's your leader, Piaomiao Zhi Xue? I haven't seen him in a long time, does he miss me?"

"He has other things to do, not participating in the point capture. Don't worry, he will miss you," Hongyue Heiyue said through gritted teeth. Their relationship was such that the Dragon Chaser's Song, who liked to fight, was looking for Piaomiao Zhi Xue to fight, but Mengxue and the Dragon Chaser's guild had not won many PK battles.

"Tell him to get lost. I don't miss him, and he shouldn't miss me. I don't like fags," the Dragon Chaser's Song replied immediately.

"You..." Hongyue Heiyue was taken aback, his temper rising, but he held back and did not argue with the Dragon Chaser's Song. After a moment, just as he was about to speak, the Dragon Chaser's Song cut him off—

"Where is the Promise of Battle? Promise of Battle, where are you? Please respond! Please respond! Promise, it's the Dragon Chaser's Song, come out and let me see you."
