Chapter 1443: A Natural Commander

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Lu Li saw that quite a few of his teammates had died in battle. However, Glory Capital also lost a few people when attacking the sentry tower, so Lu Li did not take it too seriously.

Of course, this extent of damage was quite severe, but Lu Li was already psychologically prepared.

Glory Capital had already repelled Ruling Sword and taken a few pieces of equipnt from them. Sorrowless gave orders to completely destroy the two sentry towers. They had 20 chariots in the middle team. Even if the System updated and buffed the sentry towers, this still wouldn’t take them too much ti.

Sorrowless was quite confident. A Stronghold Attack would take as long as two hours. If Lu Li used the strategy of only protecting the spawn point, then the Stronghold of the Black Sea Coast would have to change hands today.

“How are your people doing over there?” Sorrowless asked the people on the other two paths.

“They ran away after our wave attacked them. We picked up two pieces of equipnt. The quality is not bad, haha,” they quickly reported.

“What about the other team?” Sorrowless asked.

“Killed four people. Picked up three pieces of equipnt and two epics,” the other side replied.

“Good, I’d actually rather delay like this, because we don’t know if Ruling Sword will be able to keep on dropping equipnt,” Sorrowless said, revealing his well thought-out plan.

They continued to move forward, and very soon arrived at the second sentry tower. However, contrary to Sorrowless’ plans to wait for people, there was unexpectedly no one at all below it. Their expectation of a slowly-resisting Ruling Sword didn’t play out. Could it be that those damned rats didn’t dare to et face to face like this?

It was a bit of a sha that they couldn’t keep forcing Ruling Sword to lose equipnt.

“Damn, there’s people! Everyone be careful...” Blood Dagger roared loudly, but before he finished speaking, Ruling Sword’s skills rained down around them.

Sorrowless’ train of thought was broken, and he finally realised that his plan to wait ant that they were surrounded.

On three sides there were players, and on the fourth was the sentry tower!

More than 70 people were besieging the 40, and Sorrowless’ heart sunk.

“Protect the retreat of the chariots, and rge the other two teams together with the middle team.” Being suddenly t by this scenario, Sorrowless didn’t panic for too long but chose to withdraw strategically. As long as the chariots were protected, there was still hope for this Stronghold Attack.

“Mages and berserkers, attack the chariots. Everyone else, attack the cloth-armored players,” Sky Moon said smugly.

While the chariots were retreating in defeat, they could gather their strength and attack all at once. This was a bug that Sky Moon discovered early on. As long as Glory Capital’s forces split into three, they would still be able to besiege them. After Lu Li handed power over to Sky Moon, he knew he had the ability to prove himself.

Right now, his achievent was that he had defeated wave after wave of Glory Capital’s forces.

Out of 40 people, only 21 were left, and of the 20 chariots, in the middle team, 7 had been lost. After Sorrowless and the other two teams rged together, they could see their losses more clearly. They wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully that night.

Lu Li also felt that this result was incomprehensible. He definitely didn’t expect this outco at all.

Sky Moon had only gone with Lu Li once to an Instance Dungeon before. From listening to his way of speaking, Lu Li thought that Sky Moon was quite intelligent. He could also tell he was ambitious with his strategies. No one would have thought that he would bring on this pleasant surprise for everyone.

Although it was Sky Moon who thought out this plan, Lu Li made everything possible. After all, it was he who had allowed a nobody replace him in command. This action made people feel that Lu Li was too deep to be understood. At the very least, Wandering had no idea how Lu Li ca to know about Sky Moon.

“In total, we destroyed seven chariots and two more received heavy damage. We killed 19 people and got 12 pieces of equipnt, 10 pieces of which were Epics,” Sky Moon reported excitedly to Lu Li.

“You did a beautiful job!” Lu Li praised.

“Haha, if we keep this up, there’s no way they’ll be able to besiege the city today!” Sky Moon laughed, not even trying to hide his satisfaction.

“There’s no chance of that happening. They’ll rge together and attack one path.”

Lu Li could understand Sorrowless. There was a chance that this kind of surprise attack could be effective, if done once. If they could deceive Sorrowless a second ti, then he didn’t deserve his reputation.

“Yes, I suppose so,” Sky Moon said after giving it so thought.

As expected, Glory Capital soon rged all their people and chariots onto the main road. They also adopted the tactic of rapid attacks without concern for cost.

If they went this way, Glory Capital’s losses would be severe.

In this battle, both sides seed to be picking up the other side’s equipnt. However, due to Sky Moon’s earlier deception of Sorrowless, Ruling Sword might have had a slight advantage in the end.

After about an hour, Glory Capital finally managed to push the battle line under Ruling Sword’s Black Sea Coast Stronghold.

Sorrowless expected that this would only take half an hour, but Ruling Sword’s firm resistance gave no chance for him to have a quick battle. Furthermore, Sky Moon also organised a few assaults without regard for their own losses. Sotis, to reach the goal, you didn’t have the freedom to pick between attack options.

Quite frankly, the happenings of today showed that Lu Li had really chosen the right provisional commander.

Lu Li’s bold choice probably dimd his lilight a little, but to him, this really wasn’t anything negative.

Lu Li had never thought of becoming the greatest commander, nor did he want to make a na for himself in the ga. When Lu Li found a person like Sky Moon, he gave him an opportunity to display his personal skills to other followers. This would encourage others as well. The more people like Sky Moon in Ruling Sword, the better the guild would develop. No matter how well this person did, it was Ruling Sword overall who would benefit the most.

“They’ve only got a dozen or so chariots left. Let’s see how they can continue to be aggressive,” Sky Moon said as he cruelly rubbed his hands. It was hard for him to contain his excitent.

Glory Capital’s resurrection point was already set underneath the city, so Lu Li also went back on top of the city wall. He didn’t take back the authority to command, but rather continued to let him command the important responsibility of guarding the city wall.

Sky Moon was not calm enough and seed to show a whole range of emotions, from satisfaction to worry.

It was clear that when Lu Li had not been reborn yet, Sky Moon was an impressive person in this group, but had never had the chance to show his worth. Therefore, Lu Li had never heard of his na before.

Sky Moon now had a chance to quickly advance his career.

In his heart, a voice roared at him, “Protect the Stronghold! Protect the Stronghold! As long as you protect the Stronghold, Lu Li will treat you fairly. After this day, you will able to achieve your aspirations in this ga.”

“Be careful of their cannonballs,” Lu Li reminded gently, at his side.

Normal cannonballs were given by the commander of a city battle and were considered a gift that ca with buying a chariot. These cannonballs were grey, but Glory Capital was now taking away their grey ammunition and replacing these with cases of red cannonballs. Lu Li was paying very careful attention to notice this change, but Sky Moon was a little too excited.
