Chapter 161 - Can You Escape?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“There’s no need for you to know my name. I’m just a nobody. However, it seems like you’re famous all over the world. Everyone knows about you. Witnessing your presence here today, you’re indeed an extraordinary player.”

The other party was very cautious, and Li Yi became even more curious about his identity.

“Did you know that coming here before the battle is a big taboo in the military? You making your way here so rashly shows that you aren’t taking our Kesha City seriously, aren’t you?”

The other party’s words were sharp. Li Yi felt that his actions were indeed too rash, but he would never tell the truth. After all, no one would believe him even if he told them.

“I just wanted to enter the city to meet someone, but I was too rash about it. I’m really sorry.”

“Oh, what made you do this?” He asked as he waved his hand around. “However, it’s wartime now, so I can’t just open the door and let you in rashly, can’t I? How about after the war is over?”

“I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t think there’s a need to come here anymore. Let’s go, Dream Seeker.”

Li Yi turned around with Dream Seeker and was about to go back. This turn of his body was filled with fear and trepidation. Every step he took was calculated, afraid that the other side would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Dream Seeker was very close to Li Yi, so he planned to bring him back whenever there was a slight change in movements.

Fortunately, the other side did not make any small moves.

After the two of them returned safely, Dream Seeker retrieved Traceless and the three of them headed towards the forest. Not long after they left, the war horn sounded, and the 10,000 strong army of Kesha City and the players behind approached the forest.

Li Yi and the other two retreated when they saw the fire, but have yet to see anyone.

It seemed like the army from Emperor City were making their way as well.

The three of them quickly ran towards the forest. There were tens of thousands of players chasing after them. This was not a joke. If they were caught, they would not be able to escape.

“Bro, they are catching up.”

“Don’t panic. The distance between them and us is not that short. We have fewer players, so we can move faster. Hurry up and run.”

The three of them dare not to say anything else. They were now in a race against time, and could not afford to waste even a second. 

At that moment, the person behind Li Yi and the other two, who had been watching them run ahead, looked pensive as he calmly ordered his subordinates, “Stop them.”

In an instant, countless magic Fireball spells and arrow rain flew over.

Li Yi shouted, “Clutch King, Dream Seeker, get behind me.”

“Lost Magic!”

Li Yi raised his black shield to defend the three of them. All sorts of attacks bombarded the scorched earth around Li Yi.

“Dream Seeker, throw the saber!”

Dream Seeker threw Traceless behind him and grabbed Clutch King and Li Yi. The next second, the three of them appeared next to Traceless. They had put some distance between them and their previous positions.

However, this distance was not very far. The three of them did not turn back and continued to run.

Unfortunately, soon after, the second wave of attacks came.

Dream Seeker threw all the bombs he had on deck to slow them down.

A cloud of fire exploded in the air, and he took advantage of the situation to block the next wave of attacks.

“Quickly, run! I’ve nothing left to block the next wave.”

After throwing the bomb, Dream Seeker ran wildly behind them without looking back.

Li Yi and Clutch King did not stop in their tracks either.

“Clutch King, you should retreat first. With your speed, you can definitely go further.”

“No, I won’t leave you guys behind.”

Li Yi shook his head. Why was this kid always so stubborn?

Behind the great army of Kesha City, the person continued to hold the crystal ball with a hint of playfulness.

“Interesting. Prepare for the third wave of attacks.”

Following that, the third wave of attacks arrived as scheduled. Li Yi once again raised his shield to defend the both of them.

“Starlight’s Blessing!”

“-2,451”

“-1,468”

…

“Heroic Spirit’s Blessing”

“+3,541”

He never expected his Heroic Spirit’s Blessing to ever be activated twice in a day.

Li Yi was not able to withstand the deference, and his body could not take it any longer. With a falter in his step, Clutch King carried Li Yi on his back.

“Bro, you really should consider losing weight.”

Li Yi’s entire body was weak, and Clutch King complained but carried him anyway. After blocking the third wave of attacks, Li Yi needed time to recover, but whether the other side would give him time was a problem.

Although there was a time interval for every attack, it was ultimately too short for him.

The rest would really have to be handed over to fate.

However, after running for a long time, there was still no sign of the fourth wave of attacks.

Dream Seeker felt puzzled and reminded Li Yi, “The fourth wave of attacks has yet to appear. Are they out of ammunition and rations?”

“Impossible.”

“Then what does it mean?”

At that moment, Li Yi pointed ahead and said softly, “Because… our reinforcements are here.”

Dream Seeker and Clutch King looked up.

Snow Chaser and Winnie had rushed over with the Scorching Sun Guild.

“We can finally rest for a while.”

After Snow Chaser and Winnie handed in their tasks, they had led the players of Scorching Sun Guild over.

On the way, Winnie used Enchantment to increase their movement speed. Although the effect was average, the two of them wanted to use anything to be as fast as possible.

At this moment, they finally caught up. Seeing Li Yi on Clutch King’s back, Snow Chaser quickly went forward and cast a Healing spell.

After Li Yi had recovered some of his strength, he got off Clutch King’s back and thanked his squad members.

The squad returned to the Scorching Sun Guild, now together.

Li Yi inquired about the situation.

Right now, the Scorching Sun Guild was the first to arrive, while the others lagged behind.

“In that case, we can only try our best to wait for the army to arrive before fighting.”

“Should we retreat?” Sun Conqueror asked.

Li Yi shook his head.

The other side had made him suffer so much, how could he retreat.

“We stand firm!”

Hearing Li Yi’s words, everyone’s hearts seemed to have settled.

Clutch King and Dream Seeker aside, the others had been waiting for this great war to start.

Now that a great enemy was in front of them, there was no reason to retreat.

There were 200 players on Sun Conqueror’s side.

These 200 players were all hot-blooded and eager to fight.

Sun Conqueror shouted at his guild members behind him, “Brothers, battle merits are right in front of us. There are tens of thousands of troops coming, and our side has two hundred. There is a huge disparity in strength, but I want to fight. Are any of you willing to go with me?”

“We fight and die with you Guild Leader, side by side!”

“Good, since that’s the case, our Scorching Sun Guild shall welcome the army of over 10,000 later. We will start the first battle for our Emperor City. We will make a name for ourselves and let everyone in Divine Revelation remember our Scorching Sun Guild!”

“Make a name for ourselves and let everyone in Divine Revelation remember our Scorching Sun Guild!”

These 200 players were all hot-blooded. They held weapons in their hands and spoke with determination.

Li Yi and the others were shocked.

Li Yi looked at his own squad members and asked quietly, “They want to fight. What about you guys? Are you willing to fight me to the end?”

“Bro, what nonsense are you talking about? We’ve been chased for half a day like losers. We can’t not fight back.”

“That’s right, bro. This time, you can’t leave us to fight alone.”

“Carefree Dream, wherever you go, I will go.”

“I’ll always follow you.”

Li Yi’s heart trembled.. Being able to reincarnate and come back to Divine Revelation was not in vain!
