Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 291 Collision End

"Alder, DIE!"

Layfun angrily roared as his mount charged towards the direction of Alder after ramming through the shield wall, sending the soldiers blocking him flying and when he was almost near Alder, he leaned his body to the right as he gripped his sword tightly on his hand and angrily slashed towards the direction of Alder’s head!

"Cleaving Slash!"

Layfun’s sword glowed with deadly light as it came slashing towards its target.

"Charging by yourself deep inside enemy lines, arrogant as ever Layfun!"

Alder was mad when he saw his men dying under Layfun’s onslaught while the latter was madly charging towards him without care as the latter ignored the attacks heading towards him because his body kept glowing over and over again with a green hue, bringing his dangerous state to half or full health from hitting rock bottom!

And seeing the sword sweeping towards him, Alder hurriedly raised his Celtic shaped shield before him and activated a skill that covered his shield with a dirt glow.

"Titan’s Shield!"

Clang!

The sword and the shield collided dangerously, and both wielders were repelled from the force created during the collision that Alder slid backward for five meters while Layfun was almost thrown off from his mount.

"Fall back!"

But what Alder didn’t expect was Layfun’s shamelessness, because after attacking him, the latter just directly ignored him and quickly brought his mount and charged towards the ranks of their healers and killed a few of them before he issued a retreat to his soldiers.

Layfun and his army were like the waves in the ocean, they came crashing fast and also receded quickly.

"Dammit!"

Looking at the disappearing silhouette of Layfun and his army, Alder gritted his teeth and stomped his foot on the ground in anger!

"Sir, shall we give chase?"

A player in healer robes came over and said.

Alder didn’t immediately answer him but looked at his surroundings first.

His army that was full of morale earlier is now a mess, some are even lying on the ground deadbeat, while some players cursed in anger and left the game as quickly as possible, not caring about what will happen next.

Alder gripped his fist tightly, his face clouded in anger, and the healer beside him couldn’t help but swallow his saliva out of nervousness looking at Alder’s expression.

’Layfun, I’ll get you for this humiliation sooner or later’

’I swear!’

Alder’s eyes burned with anger and at the same time, his heart burned with determination to take down Layfun in their next skirmish.

Meanwhile.

-I heard that you launched an attack without consulting me?

"I did, so what? I’ll never give them the chance to attack me while I’m alone and without reinforcements. I’m pretty sure that they would immediately launch on an attack on us the moment their reinforcement arrives, so I took the initiative and launched an attack first and we won"

Layfun wasn’t bothered for disobeying orders, as he’d rather get reprimanded by his sister rather than giving up their advantage to their enemies and losing ground.

"..."

-How many did we lose?

Layfun smiled and replied, "We only lost two hundred, but we managed to take down over a thousand of their troops. This is what happens when you launch a surprise attack, and even though this is a game and we have health bars here, you can’t ignore the fact that having a huge and better cavalry during a war is the best for us, but a danger to our enemies"

On the other side of the call.

"Next time, don’t ignore orders"

-You know that wouldn’t happen.

Knowing her brother’s personality, she could only release a sigh of helplessness.

A woman with silver hair, covered in leather armor with a longbow strapped on her back is currently standing on the shore of a huge lake, and around her are huge towering trees that are almost as tall as a ten-story building, and a few meters behind her are five players of different classes surrounding a campfire as they grilled some fishes they had caught and a couple of meat.

Then one of them came over and also started fishing.

"Lookin at your expression, is it about Layfun disobeying your orders again?" said the red-haired woman in healer robes, and there’s an old-looking book strapped on the side of her waist while she started reeling in a huge fish that’s half a meter long.

"Yeah, that as*hole just don’t want to listen," Tiera said with a bitter look.

The woman called Red Rose started taking the fish out of the hook while saying, "Not like you haven’t gotten used to it yet. Besides, he won, right? There’s only a few who could go toe to toe with him in leading armies in battle, don’t forget that he’s just below you in terms of ranks in the guild and that over half of our members looks up to him"

Tiera just sighed and didn’t answer her.

’That brother of mine should stop causing me trouble’

If someone other than them was here, then they would certainly notice the large movements behind the six players.

It...was because there’s a huge army behind them!

Just camping and resting under the foliage of the large trees around them, every single one of them is brimming with morale and their spirits are in all-time high as they prepare themselves for an upcoming battle!

*****

Wooosh~!

Under the blanket of the night, multiple figures can be seen currently traversing through the land covered in white, and unfortunately for this group, they just had to bump into a blizzard during their journey, which greatly slowed them down, and their only source of light are two lamps that could barely illuminate their surroundings due to the current weather.

"God freaking dammit! Of all times, why does a blizzard just had to show up tonight?"Chakram groaned in annoyance.

"Argghh, I-I’m more worried about dying of cold right now," Dylan said while shivering and his teeth chattering due to the cold.

And Michael is probably the only person right now who’s not having a problem with the cold due to his high resistance against it, which he had accumulated together when Miya was still with him, where both of them had managed to gain at least ten percent of [Cold Resistance].

Of course, gaining this particular element resistance wasn’t easy for both of them as there had been a lot of instances where they almost died because of it.

And now, the others are facing the same problem that he and Miya had experienced before.

Michael looked back at the people behind him and was reminded of the days where he had also suffered like them.

"Just bear with it, the current weather is good for raising your resistance against the cold"

Michael said, and even though he was also feeling cold like them, it was still something he could bear.

The only unfortunate thing for the others is that they are suffering debuffs that weaken them due to the cold, which really slows them down.

"Resistance, my ass!" Storm Moonlight groaned at him, her eyes shooting daggers which made Michael uncomfortable and helpless with their current situation.
