Chapter 503: Pioneer Cavalry
“Dong dong dong–“
In the distance, war drums could be heard.
All players were panicking. Right at that moment, there was the dense sound of horse hooves. In the next second, numerous undead cavalries charged out. They were all heavy armored and they were riding on undead horses. These horses were different from bone horses and had golden patterns on them. Their hooves were also covered in golden flames. The cavalries on them were dressed in black armor and held heavy swords. Their blade tips had a golden flame and they looked really strong!
This wave was really different!
I sucked in a deep breath and used Shifang Flame Spiral Eye. I read their stats and shared it on the guild channel–
Pioneer Cavalry (Legacy Monster)
Level: 120
Attack: 17200-20000
Defence: 15000
Health: 4000000
Skill: Pioneer Strike, War Trample, Pioneer Formation, Pioneer Armor
Introduction: Pioneer Cavalry, they were once elite human cavalries. Many of them were generals but after death, their bodies and souls were controlled by Valen and they ended up as the claws of the Pioneer Army. These Pioneer Cavalries are not only good at battle techniques, they know human strategies. Since obtaining Valen’s strength, they became the trump card of the Pioneer Army.
…
“Damn…”
Light Lantern frowned, “The first wave is their trump card?”
“So this event is taking a totally different path!”
I raised my blade towards the sky and said, “Brothers highest alert. We have to fend against the Pioneer Cavalry strike, if we can’t block them we are finished!”
Everyone nodded. The Sika Deer Cavalries lowered their bodies and raised their shields and blades in front of them. The players at the back held their breath and prepared for battle. As the guild leader, Lin Xi was the spiritual leader of With You. She held White Dragon Sword and stood in front of the line. She raised her sword and pointed, “Add two healers there, the heal isn’t enough! Also there,
One more archer to strengthen the armor breaking effect. Quick!”
As she ordered, everyone adjusted. I walked forwards 10 yards from the frontline, “I will draw firepower here, everyone take care!”
“Be careful Lu Li!” Gu Ruyi said.
“En.”
Right at that moment, Lin Xi rode her horse forwards and pulled out Heaven Sword Umbrella. We guarded the With You frontline side by side. We had to reduce pressure for the whole guild if not we might not be able to withstand the Pioneer Cavalries. What was worth mentioning was that the Pioneer Cavalries didn’t appear in the last battle. In the end, when the humans attacked and the flames of war reached Pioneer Forest, Valen took out his trump card. How cunning. If not we wouldn’t know that he had such a strong army!
“Gallop~~”
Ahead, the horse hoof sounds got closer and closer. The eyes of the Pioneer Cavalries were filled with brutality, they raised their swords up high and their horses snorted out a greenish breath. Four huge horse hooves shone gold like they were about to shatter the ground. They just charged right into the player crowd!
“Coming!”
My body sunk down and entered Soul Star Explosion state. I raised my hand and my dagger was wrapped in light. I used Wooden Dummy and energy surged from the plants around. They gathered to form 20 little brothers. All of them held wooden weapons and they were covered in killing aura!
Thus, the Pioneer Cavalries charging at With You smashed into the Wooden Dummy soldiers. They sliced their weapons around and there were vine images that bound and trapped the target. All of a sudden, hundreds of cavalries were in a clump.
Good chance!
I raised my hand once more and used Apprehension in the crowd. The health of the Pioneer Cavalries started to drop and my achievement points started to climb. This proved that this event didn’t depend on kills but on damage. Of course, effective healing and damage tanked should be calculated too if not players that didn’t deal damage were at a disadvantage. But overall, those who were at the top of the leaderboards would be great killers.
Numerous Pioneer Cavalries dashed past the wooden soldiers and right at me.
I spun my daggers and started to kill them. I slashed the bodies of the incoming cavalries and dealt splash damage. At the same time, I used Hunter’s Edge, Flames of Karma, Backstab and Annihilation. The high damage absorbed large amounts of health to maintain my health at a key level.
“Kong!”
A Pioneer Cavalry roared in rage and he raised his sword to use Pioneer Strike. That dealt 30 thousand damage and luckily my health was over 200 thousand with Soul Star Explosion. Around me, the Pioneer Cavalries attacked too and they used War Trample and Pioneer Strike. All of a sudden, my health dropped by a large amount. Luckily my defence and lifesteal were high so I was still able to tank them. I counter attacked and their health started to drop too.

Not far away, Lin Xi sliced the throats of two Pioneer Cavalries to deal two terrifying damage numbers. At the same time, she placed her umbrella to the right to blow a strike. Lin Xi sunk down and used Return Slash. Dense damage numbers rose up and when the Pioneer Cavalry attacked in rage, she used Weapon Protection. All of a sudden, those attacks on her didn’t deal much damage.
Weapon Protection was a symbol of Warriors with full strength. The defensive durability of this skill was based on attack. Lin Xi had really high attack and it was probably 30% more than mine. Dawn Warrior’s had really high strength so Lin Xi’s Weapon Protection was much stronger than other warriors.
Moreover, Lin Xi was buffed by Light Lotus so when she stood there, she was able to stand still even though the Pioneer Cavalries were strong.
…
Behind us, one heard the dense sounds of clashes. Many cavalries were hit by the Pioneer Cavalries. Pioneer Strike and War Trample were used. Like slicing through tofu, the Sika Deer Cavalries started to lose health and some even died!
“Weapon Protection!”
“Ash Fortress!”
Light Lantern was shocked, “Protect yourself, paladins move up, quick!”
Thus, the Priests used their heals and managed to maintain the health of those on the frontline. Shen Mingxuan pulled her bow and said, “Archers use Stun Shot and support. Stabilise their health!”
All of a sudden, hundreds of Stun Shots smashed into the Pioneer Cavalry crowd to stun at least half of them. In the next second, Gu Ruyi and October Warm Sun raised their staffs and used Flame Laser.
Apart from that, once Gu Ruyi used it, she chanted and thunder flashed. A thunder dragon flew in the sky and a Thunder Dragon Storm swept the ground. 40×40 range, Thunder Dragon Storm swept and dense damage numbers filled the sky that burnt the Pioneer Cavalries.
One had to say that Ruyi really was different now. Thunder Dragon Storm, Dragon Flame Whirlpool, Ice Dragon Explosion, Flame Laser etc made her the top mage of With You. After becoming a Dragon Mage, her magic was much higher and the spells she had were really strong. She was now a top killing weapon!
But the pressure on the frontline was still huge!
“Creak~~”
Dozens of Pioneer Cavalries turned to stone and golden energy surged around their bodies. There was a “keng” and a golden word appeared on their heads. Shortly after, golden swords started spinning around their bodies that dealt constant and high damage to the With You players!
“They triggered the Pioneer Formation!”
Lin Xi looked and said decisively, “Frontline Paladins use Envoy of Light!”
“Okay boss!”
The bunch of Paladins started to use their heals and while the health of the frontline players started to drop, they managed to heal it up. But they weren’t able to and just stopped at a stage where the Pioneer Cavalries weren’t able to kill them.
At the same time, the Sika Deer Cavalries had ice around them which was the ice protection of the deers that helped reduce damage by 15%. One must know that 15% was huge and this was why they were able to hold the line.
…
At this point, Lin Xi and I smiled at one another. With You did look like a T1 guild now. Our mechanics and understanding got better and better. To be able to lose no one in front of the Pioneer Cavalries, we were one of a few.
