New Life Online 216 Cavalry In The Darkness

"Sir! The other guilds are about to attack us too! We are not taking damage so far because of our Supports but it won't last that long! What should we do, Sir?!" One of the guards reported. This is really bad. The barriers are starting to break.

"Oh man! What the h.e.l.l is the old man doing?! Let's wait for a bit. Don't attack back at all cost. If we attack now, our deal would be in vain." The old man can just teleport back here but I don't think he's going to. The reason is obvious, Drake.

"It looks like someone wants to sabotage the Other Side and Life Guild. Trying to talk sense with that old man won't be enough. This war will not stop." Sh.e.l.la stated.

"Let's not a.s.sume random conclusions so far. We can never know if an invasion will start again and losing guild power would be a disaster. Let's avoid war at all cost." Drake is still trying to avoid the war.

*SWOOOOOOOs.h.!.+*

Maximus appeared where he left off. His expression isn't what we've expected.

"They said that the attack came from you guys first. What is going on?" The old man is mad...

"What?! How can we order our troops if we're here all talking? There's no way we are going to use cheap tricks to start this war. We are here to avoid war remember?" Drake expressed his frustrations.

"You disappointed me by joining them. The officers of our guild saw the attacks came out from your guild and hit a lot of our defenders. You started it. Now, we will end it!" What?! Just earlier, we are talking about avoiding the war and now... this happened.

"Hold it right there, old man. I'm not here to just stand by you know, with one bad decision, your entire army would turn into ashes helplessly." Scy exclaimed.

"Are you threatening the strongest guild?! I would like to see you try you arrogant brat!" Old man! This is not what we've decided earlier!

"Sir! Please consider. Like I've said a couple of times, we don't have any reason to attack you. That attack was not from us. Believe us. Please." I begged. I don't want to end this to war.

"No, young lady. It's my guild's words against yours. I suggest you escape the city or surrender because this city will be destroyed. Good luck." Then just in an instant, he disappeared once again.

"What should we do now?! My City will fall if we don't do anything." Drake didn't expect that the first attack would be to his guild... He's really not doing well. His guild is at stake.

"Don't worry. I have a plan." Really, Scy?

"What plan? Can we win?" Drake asked.

"Of course, we will. All we have to do is to charge." Scy, seriously?

"Now I'm wondering if I really picked the right side. Sh.e.l.la, please prepare your spell casters for battle. We will defend the city at all cost." Drake suggested.

"Sure, that's what I signed up for. They will join the Trident into the depths of the Dead Water!" Sh.e.l.la is pretty excited.

"Sir! The defenders and warriors from the south and north directions are starting to charge! The barriers are breaking faster than we thought too! If they reach the gates, then our barriers will break easier!" These guard needs to stop shouting.

"Let me handle them," Sh.e.l.la offered help.

Sh.e.l.la climbed the gate walls from the south where more defenders and warriors are charging. Some of her spellcasters are also in the north gate.

"Get ready girls! Let's drown some beasts! DEVOURING FLASH FLOODS!" Sh.e.l.la cast a spell with the others!

They released a large amount of water coming from above the walls and are now pouring down to the directions of the attackers! The flood is high and strong enough to push back the attackers! Not only that, some of those players are getting drowned because of the heavy equipment that they won't float above!

"I told you a lot of people would be drowned. It's really a nice sight don't you think?" Why on earth are you asking me that?! Well... that's pretty s.a.d.i.s.tic.

"Sir, both Defenders, and Warriors from Order of Light and Hearth Fire were pushed back! They are also getting slowed down by the waves! But Ravens are using flight spells to bypa.s.s the flood!" The guard reported once again. Once a traitor and now they became allies...

"Pesky Ravens! Do we have archers to stop them? Our guild lacks range attackers and only use arrow turrets as anti-airborne machines. Would that be enough?" Drake asked.

"Sir, it's not working against them. A lot of them easily avoided our attacks and are now getting towards the barrier! The water spells of the Beauties were also stopped by the barriers or the support from both sides!" If only my guildmates are here...

"Let them charge in. I have a good idea." Scy suggested.

"Are you insane? If they reach the gates, it would be the end of us. Even if you guys are here, there's no way we can stop thousands of them!" Drake is getting worried and worried as they get closer to us.

"Trust me. Just ready your cavalry behind the gates and just wait for my signal. We will cut their Defenders and Warriors in half." Scy... In half?! What?! That's impossible...

"You're plan is too good to be true. I hope it will work or there's no other option but to surrender." Drake... Please don't mess this up Scy.

"Just do what I say. We are just starting. Show me the famous best cavalry army in the game, if it's really true." Scy's showing his authority.

"Then you will see why our cavalry is the best. GUYS! READY YOUR HORSES AND SPEARS! WE WILL HAVE SOME BARBEQUE TODAY!" Holy Moly! Drake's voice is way too powerful! One of the best ways to boost morale.

"WOAAAAAAAH!" His guildmates also showed their fighting spirit.

"Sir! The attackers are almost here! Ravens are also banging the h.e.l.l out of our barriers!" Those flying players need to be stopped.

"It's your time to s.h.i.+ne, or should I say time to dim. REAPER'S TOTAL DARKNESS!" Scy released his darkness all over the place. I can't see a single thing and I'm starting to get scared and... I'm feeling so down.

"Don't be alarmed guys, you might feel a little different but it's just the effect of my aura. Hey, Shade, I told you not to affect these fellows. Let them see will you?" Scy seems to be talking to his monster soul...

"Don't order me around or I'll kill you." I saw a shadow appearance as we gain our sight. Players can only hear monster soul's thoughts if they are summoned. His monster soul's voice is way too scary... Is it just me or they don't get along well...

"Sir! The attackers stopped their attack and are now pulling back. The Ravens also pulled back after they were caught inside the darkness. Should we attack them now?" The guard reported. Wow, with just one guy, he was able to make them pull back. What an ominous aura.

"Wait! They are charging again! It seems that their Leaders ordered them to charge in!" What now Scy...

"Just what I have thought. The old man really is dumb to send his troops to a place where they could just die. Open the gate and charge. If what you said was true, then your cavalry force will dominate the infantry's force. Archers won't work against the barriers and we still have time to get back to the gate after the attack, so go!" Scythus ordered. A sneak attack, an idea from a guy like him... not so honorable but it's really a good one.

"OPEN THE GATE! DRAGOON CAVALRY, CHARGE!" Drake roared furiously. He rode his mount and is now leading the attack.

The attackers are clueless of what they are going to clash with. Those mounts are fully armored that they will easily destroy infantry's formation and those spears would take their life.

*BAAAAAAAAAM! BAAABAAABAAAAAAM!* Loud sounds of metal clas.h.i.+ng can be heard all over the place. The cavalry easily pa.s.sed right through the defenders and warriors easily by breaking their defense and formation. You can hear every clash.

After they pa.s.sed through, the cavalry split into two and take a turn going back to the city. A nice strategy to finish off what's left. Those who are left were scattered. Supports and spellcasters and even archers are too far away to help. They didn't expect a surprise attack from us. There are more warriors left than defenders. Those who are left are the high-level players.

*ROOOOOOOAAAR!* Drake roared out and his cavalry raised their spear and lances covered in blood. Showing their first win against the first wave.

After that, they went inside the City to rest and reposition. They closed the gate and then the bombardment from the spellcasters from the opposing guilds to the barriers stopped. I don't know why but it may be a good or a bad sign.

"Nice job, Drake. Your cavalry isn't just for a show after all." Scy said.

"Don't patronize me. Without your trick, that won't work as successful as that. We killed a lot of attackers from both sides and I can tell, it hurt their offense and defense big time. So what now?" Drake asked.

"Let's wait for now. Stopping their attacks means that they are aware that it would be a lot harder to siege this city unless they attack us in full force of course. I don't think they would risk that, though. They might win against us but their loss would be so much greater." Scy's right. Our numbers here are not even close to their number. We might all die here but they will lose more levels than us.

"Sir! Other Side guild is finally near the Order of Light and the other guilds! It looks like they brought their whole guild with them!" Finally!
