Chapter 1040  : A Fierce Baptism

“What the heck?!”

“Dream Clouds has gone mad!”

“She didn’t do anything to test our strength and sent all her forces over straightaway? Does she think that Wind Assault Tower is so weak that we can even withstand one single attack?”

Wu Luo and a few Wind Assault Tower elders noticed the actions from Class One Hall immediately. Their expressions became unpleasant, and anger as well as brutality flashed in their eyes.

Wu Kuo shouted at the top of his lungs to mobilize his forces.

His loud voice traveled through the entire headquarters and was heard clearly by the tens of thousands of Wind Assault Tower members.

“Brothers! The time has come for us to either live, or die!

“Dream Clouds has sent all of her elites over right from the start, and this is good! Do you know that that means?!

“She’s looking down on us, and she’s being conceited!

“Dream Clouds thinks that the power she has in her hands is enough to bring down Wind Assault Tower! She’s underestimating us! She thinks that we don’t even have the power to stand before their weapons!”

His deafening shouts crept into their ears, and the countless Wind Assault Tower members in the area had their hearts immediately filled with passion. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and it was as if fire was about to gush out of them!

Aside from protecting their homeland and country, Chinese martial artists will also be able to bring forth their strongest power when they wanted to protect their honor. During those moments, they could also be very determined.

If anyone who trampled on their honor, they will definitely use their actions and weapons to prove themselves to their enemies.

When Wu Kuo saw that his sect mates’ anger had been lit, he shouted loudly with a swing of his arm, “Dream Clouds and Class One Hall are very conceited! Brothers and sisters, what should we do?!

“Tell me! WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!”

When he repeated his question, he did so with an even louder and more angry voice.

Before his voice faded away, an elder beside Wu Kuo stood forth swiftly and drew his sword by his waist without hesitation.

Clang!

He pointed his sword at the sky.

The cold blade was directed at the sky, as if inviting the heavens to join them in their cause.

This action affected all the people in the headquarters.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless people drew their weapons.

Dozens of light from weapons instantly fused together to form a fierce momentum that surged to the sky, and the matchless, murderous aura they created caused the weather to change.

“Kill them!”

“We’ll kill all those bastards from Class One Hall!”

“If they dare underestimate us, we’ll kill them to our heart’s content!”

Many Wind Assault Tower members shouted hysterically, and their voices charged forward like a roaring ocean.

Dream Clouds stood on the roof of a building in the street out of Wind Assault Tower’s territory and watched from above. She saw the fierce fighting spirit within the headquarters, and after frowning a little, she smiled coldly.

“That’s pretty interesting. I didn’t expect that while Wu Kuo is usually as brash as a bull, he would actually know how to stir up his tower members and restore their morale during such a critical moment.”

“Should we retreat for the time being?” A sect master beside her frowned worriedly.

Wind Assault Tower’s morale had originally already fallen to its lowest point when they were surrounded so aggressively by Class One Hall, had their momentum decreased, did not have Phantasmal Shadow commanding them, and did not have One Emperor serving as their garrison. If they fought against Class One Hall, they would definitely have their strength largely compromised.

She did not expect that Wu Kuo’s inspiring words before the battle could save Wind Assault Tower’s morale back from the brink of destruction, and he even did it before it was too late.

No matter what, Wind Assault Tower’s foundation was extraordinary. They had a defense line comprising of tens of thousands of people, and it could easily devour enemies and elites several times their number. They were not to be underestimated.

Dream Clouds waved her hand. “There’s no need for that. Even if Wu Kuo has temporarily united all the Wind Assault Tower members and formed a spontaneous wall, it’s impossible for it to be of any use. No matter what, he’s just a vice tower master in Wind Assault Tower. He’s not Phantasmal Shadow, and he can’t take care of many aspects in the war. Phantasmal Shadow is not here, and Wind Assault Tower is without a leader. We’ll use this chance to open a gap in their defense.”

Dream Clouds also knew that if she sent her forces into a charge right now, she would definitely suffer a lot of losses, but if she stalled for time and waited for Phantasmal Shadow to return, the Chinese server would also react to the situation, and it would create even more trouble for her, so it was better for her to take down Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters in one go right now.

“Kill them!”

With that order, the people surged forward to the headquarters like a wave coming in from all directions.

Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters instantly turned into a lone island that had to face fierce waves. While shouts that pierced through the heavens surrounded them, it looked incredibly alone, and it looked as if it was about to topple over at any moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When Class One Hall launched its offense, Wind Assault Tower immediately answered without hesitation. Dense sounds of air being pushed away rose nonstop in the headquarters.

They did not need to lock down on any target at all!

The Wind Assault Tower members in the headquarters held several arrows in their hands and just fired outside. Arrows that were packed closely together flew out of the wall before they quickly turned into an arrow shower which had no gaps in between. Those arrows were like a black iron plate that went straight toward the Class One Hall elites and violently crashed into them.

The actions from those in Wind Assault Tower were very quick and compact. There was practically no pause between the second wave and the first wave of attack. After their arrows left their strings, new arrows were immediately nocked, and the bows were drawn fully.

Twang! Twang! Twang!

The sound of bowstrings trembling rang through Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.

Tens of thousands of people launched an incredibly fierce arrow shower and enveloped the entire area 328 feet outside the headquarters under a storm made of arrows.

Clanging sounds and the sounds of bodies being pierced through rose nonstop outside the headquarters.

Even though the people from Class One Hall and the twelve sects had been prepared beforehand and brought out items like shields, the frequency in which they were attacked by the arrows was just too quick.

One second ago, they entered the attack range of the arrows, and in the next second, the shields were stuck full of arrows. The ground was also stuck full of arrows, making it hard for them to travel forward. Besides, the sky was still full of the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and there was no end to those sounds. This grand, unprecedented spectacle caused many of them to feel their skins crawl.

Several forces of power crashed into them, and their shields were blown off their hands.

Even though shields could help a person gain a steady footing in a fierce battle, very few people could hide behind a shield. At most, only two could hind behind it, and they practically did not have the chance to draw their bows to counterattack.

In the span of a breath, Class One Hall had already lost more than one thousand elites.

As they watched the arrows sticking into the ground ahead of them like a forest and the arrow shower charging at them like a locust swarm, Class One Hall’s momentum instantly weakened by a large degree.

Of course, Class One Hall only failed on three sides of their assault.

On one side were more than two hundred top-class elites, and among them were a few men with high Affinities and great equipment. With them leading the charge, they only lost about one hundred normal elites. This group of people forcefully tore open a gap at an astonishing speed and jumped over Wind Assault Tower’s wall.

Even when one top-class elite charged into the headquarters, he or she alone could already pose as quite the threat to the headquarters, and this would be even more prominent when more than two hundred elites were gathered together. This was the first time such a mighty lineup appeared in the war history of the Chinese server.

Just when Dream Clouds was prepared to hear and admire her people instantly tearing down Wind Assault Tower’s defense line and charging into the building of the headquarters to play the most pleasant sound in the war, incredibly passionate and excited zither notes suddenly came from Wind Assault Tower’s roof.

When the zither notes rang, Dream Clouds, who had been smiling coldly in a scornful manner, finally could not help but have her smile stiffen for a while!

She stared at the blurry and petite figure on the roof across her, and Dream Clouds’ expression changed drastically. She sucked in a deep breath in an incredibly solemn manner before she hissed out a name through gritted teeth, “Wandering Know-it-all...”

She did not expect that in this battle, even though it was clear that Wind Assault Tower would not come out of it alive, Wandering Know-it-all had still sent his most precious student into Wind Assault Tower, someone who would have to restart from the beginning if she died because she had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses.

Logically speaking, Wandering Know-it-all should have avoided such a dangerous situation like the plague. It should have been impossible for him to send Wind Chimes over.

However, there was no doubt that Wind Chimes was the one producing the zither notes that shot out from the roof, instantly causing the group of top-class elites aggressively tearing into the defense line in Wind Assault Tower to descend into chaos.

“You’re asking for death!”

Wind Chimes’ expression only changed for a moment before she returned to normal. An even more prideful and cold sneer appeared on her face.

If Class One Hall had been alone in their fight against Wind Assault Tower, Wind Chimes’ appearance might be able to change the situation from the very core.

But Dream Clouds was determined to completely destroy Wind Assault Tower, crush Phantasmal Shadow’s confidence, and vanquish Wind Assault Tower’s morale this time. Hence, she had practically mobilized all the aces from Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, Assassin Hall, and the twelve sects. She had more than two hundred top-class elites and a large group of great generals with her.

The advantage Dream Clouds created was already so great that one person’s strength alone was not enough to change things.

If Wind Chimes fought at full strength, she might be able to affect a few top-class elites, at most a dozen of them.

But it was basically a dream for her to even think about affecting more than two hundred top-class elites, because affecting a person alone already required Wind Chimes to use a certain degree of her qi and stamina.

Her personal strength would also determine how much stamina she would need to use.

Wind Chimes’ limit was a dozen top-class elites, and she could only affect them. She could not bind them.

Wind Assault Tower only had forty players who were caught between first-class and top-class elites. They could not withstand the charge launched by a large group of top-class elites.

Wandering Know-it-all might have thought that he could ask Wind Chimes to help Wind Assault Tower to stabilize the situation by placing her there and catching them off guard, but this time, he had become a victim to his own wit.

“I’ll be taking Wind Chimes’ life,” Dream Clouds mumbled to herself with a smile while she watched the lineup of her two hundred top-class elites charging into the defense line with an indomitable spirit after going through a short period of chaos.

She could now destroy Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters while also killing one of the thorns in her flesh. This was undoubtedly an unexpected but great gift.

*****

‘Damn it!’

‘We can’t stop them!’

The Wind Assault Tower members who had to face the assault from the group of top-class elites head-on could only grumble in their hearts while they watched a group of nimble and mysterious elites use all sorts of methods to break their defense line and get closer to Wind Chimes. All of them were powerless to stop these people.

“ROAR!”

A violent lion’s roar shot into the air, and dozens of Wind Assault Tower members in one direction were instantly sent tumbling on the ground.

Someone threw hidden weapons in a manner that made him look like he was scattering snow in the air, and he managed to injure a group of archers. The defense line was in chaos.

Hundreds of Wind Assault Tower elites were killed, as if the defense line had suffered through multiple heavy blows one after another.

“Hold on! We’re here!”

Wu Kuo and the group of elites quickly came over to provide reinforcements. With the same level equipment and skills, they were finally able to block this group from advancing forward fearlessly. They also prevented Wind Assault Tower from being mowed down like wheat.

Wind Chimes could not remain idle. Her zither notes changed their direction, and countless sound blades poured down like rain at the Class One Hall members who came to provide reinforcement behind the two hundred elites.

“No... there’s too many of them. I can’t stop so many people.” Wind Chimes soon felt a great wave of pressure on her, and she had to focus her zither notes to concentrate on attacking only a dozen people.

Right when she finished speaking, a few people suddenly tore through the defense line from the side and easily broke through the wall formed by more than one hundred people. With the force of a bulldozer, they rushed to the roof.

The group protecting Wind Chimes were immediately anxious! Wu Kuo even became so anxious that red filled the whites of his eyes! But unfortunately, he was held back, and he could not break free at all. He could only watch as those elites jumped up the roof.
