Chapter 261: Concealing the Wavering (Part )

After hesitating for a while, Chu Mo still advised softly: "Lord Luna, it is not easy to attack the enemy's high ground. Would you like to rest here first, and then continue to march after you recover?"

"I'm fine." Luna said with her eyes downcast, no expression visible on her pretty snow-white face.

"But you don't look to be in very good condition, and you are alone," Chu Mo wanted to persuade him.

But Luna suddenly interrupted Chu Mo: "I can do it!"

As the latter looked stunned, this girl, who had always been loved by the soldiers for her gentle and approachable nature, for the first time on the battlefield, showed her indifference and stubbornness that kept people at a distance!

"I'm very strong, stronger than any of you, so even if I'm alone, I can break through the enemy's high ground. Only in this way can we end this war as quickly as possible!"

"But."

Just when Chu Mo was about to say something, as if sensing their intention to attack the tower, nearly a hundred soldiers ran out from behind the Wu Kingdom's highland tower in the distance, and amid a burst of noisy shouts, they tried to stop them from attacking the tower.

The highland defense tower is the lifeline of the three routes. Once it is lost, the central crystal will be exposed to the enemy's swords. If the central crystal is breached, it means the failure of the war. Even the soldiers of the Wu State understand this truth!
Seeing that the enemy troops were rushing over quickly, Chu Mo had no choice but to turn back and command the troops: "Fight! Melee soldiers in front, magic soldiers in the back, advance slowly!"

However, before the Shu army could advance, Luna took a step forward, pointing her sword at the ground and charging: "Leave these troops to me, sir, just lead them to catch up."

After saying this calmly, Luna bent her knees slightly, and then, amid the flying stone chips, she suddenly activated her ultimate move [Crescent Assault] and turned into a gorgeous stream of light to face the enemy alone. She was so fast that even Chu Mo was too late to stop her.

Bang! !

Amidst loud bangs and exploding light, the dense Wu army line was cut in two by Luna, who used her ultimate skill, at the first sight. The extremely gorgeous moonlight burst out with a terrifying force beyond human power, and in just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers were blown into the air!
A mere hundred or so Wu soldiers could not possibly stop the hero's attack. The girl, who had become famous for her sword move "Unlimited Combos Under the Moon", turned into a brilliant milky white stream of light and charged into the enemy's line with unstoppable momentum. Wherever her sword pointed, the enemy was instantly defeated!

"Surround the enemy hero and don't give her room to move!"

In the midst of the chaos, a soldier from the enemy side roared and gave orders, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then his entire field of vision began to spin rapidly.
The silver-haired girl came to him at ghostly speed and easily cut off his head with a slight wave of her hand.

With a hissing sound, bright red blood gushed out from the severed neck like a fountain. A small amount of blood splashed on the girl's face, which, against her snow-white skin and lifeless eyes, gave her a strange and daunting beauty.

At least the soldiers of Wu State had already begun to show fear of fighting.

After killing the enemy commander, Luna turned around with a calm expression, and used her 1st skill [Crescent Slash] to split a bloody blank area. Then she suddenly jumped up and fell from mid-air into a place where the crowd was more dense. She activated her 2nd skill [Burning Sword] on the spot, and began to harvest the enemy troops that were sucked in with her sword left and right!

A steady stream of red-armored soldiers fell to the ground with screams. The iron armor could not withstand the sharpness of the rune sword in Luna's hand. Anyone who was hit had their armor torn and died.

——Puff, hiss!
The creepy sound of flesh being torn apart echoed endlessly. The shadow, as bright as the moonlight, crushed the enemy soldiers who were a hundred times more numerous than her with an unmatched attack method. Wherever she passed, blood spurted and lives withered.
At this moment, Luna was more like a witch walking in a bloody hell than a beautiful fairy dancing in the moonlight. Although her posture was elegant and calm, her every move was filled with the fatal and dangerous aura of death!
Of course, in the Shu army line in the rear, there were also many young soldiers who looked at the white figure dancing in the field with fanatical eyes, and were deeply amazed and overwhelmed by this thrilling beauty.

"It's so, so awesome!"

"I'm afraid only Lady Luna's fighting style can be so pleasing to the eye!"

"Is this the Infinite Link under the Moon?!"

The soldiers were either admiring or shouting to cheer, but Chu Mo, who was standing at the front, frowned slightly.

Is this Infinite Link Under the Moon? No, it's not!

In the last battle between Shu and Wei, Chu Mo had seen Luna perform the Infinite Combo Under the Moon with his own eyes. It felt like it should be a smoother, more entertaining and more shocking infinite sword moves, instead of being so disorganized as it is now, relying solely on the power of skills to kill the enemy!

".Sure enough, you are not as calm as usual. Are you trying to use fighting to cover up your inner turmoil?" Staring blankly at the girl's dull eyes and indifferent expression without any emotional fluctuations, Chu Mo suddenly felt something was wrong.

as predicted.

When the last enemy soldier was knocked flying by Luna's side kick, the girl, who was still unsatisfied, looked up at the enemy defense tower on the high ground in front of her, and without any hesitation, she rushed in!
boom! !

Amidst the loud explosion, almost at the same time, the Wu Kingdom's highland tower accurately hit Luna, like a gorgeous firework exploding, sparks flying all over the sky, and the powerful explosion directly threw Luna out mercilessly.

boom!
Luna fell heavily to the ground and rolled backwards several times in a very embarrassing manner before she stopped.

At this time, her body was already covered with injuries and scratches.

The continuous fighting had already made her very tired, and without the blessing of the blue buff, her magic power had long been exhausted. But even so, Luna still bit her teeth stubbornly, wanting to get up and continue her attack.

But at this moment, a large hand was placed on her shoulder, stopping her movement.

“Lady Luna, let us soldiers handle things like taking down the tower.” Chu Mo knelt on one knee beside Luna, then waved his hand, raised his sword high, turned around and shouted to the troops: “For glory!!”

"Roar!!"

Amid the fierce roar, Chu Mo's call was answered by hundreds of people! The remaining soldiers were like a group of wolves released from their cages, rushing towards the attack range of the enemy's highland tower without hesitation.

——Boom!
The tower's powerful beam cannon exploded directly into the crowd, and countless soldiers were crushed to pieces in the fierce cannon light. But the soldiers remained fearless.

Luna's leading by example has influenced these soldiers and deeply moved them. Maybe the abyss of hell is ahead, but it doesn't matter! They can die generously for glory and for this beautiful girl!
Soon, with the advantage of numbers, the soldiers of Shu Kingdom finally succeeded in approaching the high ground defense tower of Wu Kingdom after leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

"Spread out! Don't stand too close together, and quickly dismantle the bottom foundation of the enemy's defense tower!" Chu Mo commanded loudly in the crowd.

Suddenly, the clanging sounds of demolishing towers and roars were endless. The Shu soldiers began to frantically launch a fierce attack on the enemy defense tower that had claimed the lives of their comrades. Countless sharp blades slashed at the sturdy tower, and debris and bricks and stones flew everywhere!
Hiss——

As if unable to withstand the siege of the Shu soldiers, the enemy's defense tower in the middle of Wu State soon began to shake and crumble! The soldiers' morale was immediately boosted, and they worked harder to siege the defense tower.

But just when everyone thought victory was within sight——

The sky shrouded in wolf smoke was like a lake with a stone dropped into it. Suddenly, distorted and strange ripples began to appear, and a suffocating burning sensation began to rise in the air.

A second later, hundreds of rockets appeared out of thin air, and then poured down like a rainstorm!

Boom——

The Shu soldiers who were besieging the tower were caught off guard. In the blink of an eye, most of them were shot dead by these deadly rockets! Even those who were not dead were struggling and rolling in pain in the spreading fire, howling miserably.

Endless flames began to burn fiercely, covering the area within sight in a sea of ​​fire! At the same time, a cold voice came from afar: "A bunch of rats, dare to attack our high ground?!"

In the high ground of Wu State, a tall, long-haired man with a gloomy face was walking slowly on flames, and behind him were nearly ten thousand Wu soldiers!

After four days, Zhou Yu, the supreme commander of Wu, finally resurrected!

"It's, it's the enemy's hero!!"

"What should we do now?!"

"Captain, there are too many enemies!"

The Shu soldiers who survived the rain of flaming arrows immediately fell into panic.

Chu Mo, who was hit by a rocket but still stood tenaciously, faced the anxious shouts of his subordinates with bloodshot eyes, and suddenly roared loudly: "Everyone listen to my orders, continue to speed up the demolition of the tower! For our glory!!"

At this time, it was obviously too late to evacuate. At least the moment Zhou Yu appeared, Chu Mo had already realized that this might be the last battle of his life!
Therefore, since we are doomed to die, we must at least destroy the enemy's high ground and open up a bloody path for the troops behind us!
Chu Mo's determination infected the remaining soldiers around him. They screamed, their eyes red, and continued to hack at the extremely solid tower body fiercely, despite the scorching flames and the attack of sharp arrows. Many people's knives broke, so they stepped forward to pry them apart with their fingernails until they bled out and then collapsed to the ground.
This is a bloody and cruel war, and it is what is happening every minute and every second on the canyon battlefield!
Finally, when everyone fell in a pool of blood and fire, the only remaining Chu Mo completely cut off the central pillar of the defense tower with the last blow, and the enemy's mid-lane highland defense tower began to tilt and collapse!

"Hey, I've made enough money." In the thick dust, Chu Mo, whose body was pierced by arrows, was already covered in blood. With the completion of the mission, his short life also came to an end.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the long sword in his hand that had been with him for five years broke.

The sea of ​​fire raged, silently burning Chu Mo's body, and soon turned him into a burning fireman!
In the last moments of his consciousness, Chu Mo seemed to see his 53 students smiling and waving at him from the distant horizon.
"It seems that you are not alone on the road to the underworld." Chu Mo closed his eyes gently. This was the first time in five years that the man smiled.

At this moment, even though he was in flames, Chu Mo no longer felt any pain or fear. Instead, he felt a sense of relief and redemption from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, after so many years, he has long been tired of this endless war, and for them, the soldiers, perhaps only death is the best relief.

In the sea of ​​fire, the soldier slowly knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and prayed devoutly.

Then, under the burning of the fierce poisonous fire, his figure slowly began to melt, and was finally completely devoured by the merciless flames.
No one noticed this tragic and tragic scene. The Wu soldiers and Zhou Yu only saw that their own defense tower was demolished by a group of Shu soldiers. They were only concerned with indignation and shock!
But Luna saw it.

As a drop of crystal water silently fell into the dust, Luna's eyes were slightly red. She drew her sword angrily, exhausted the last bit of magic power, activated the ultimate move [Crescent Assault] and rushed towards the enemy's high ground.

but.

She had already lost her composure, but she ignored the fact that Zhou Yu's fire zone was still burning. Almost at the moment when Luna stepped into the fire zone, Zhou Yu, who was extremely angry, waved his right hand, and suddenly a sky full of fire powder was scattered.

[The flames of war at Red Cliff]!
Hiss! !
The sky was filled with red flames, fueled by the fire powder, bursting out with a loud bang, almost engulfing and covering the entire sky!

"Ouch!!" The fierce poisonous fire burned Luna mercilessly, but even under the torture of excruciating pain, the girl gritted her teeth, gathered all her strength, stepped on the flames step by step, and continued to advance towards the enemy.

"Hmph! Since you're so determined to die, I'll grant your wish!" Seeing that Luna didn't care about her health and seemed determined to get close and give him a sword at the risk of her life, Zhou Yu's cold eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of gloom, and he immediately opened his arms and floated in the air.

[The east wind is strong]!
The violent hurricane fanned the flames, and like an invisible giant beast, it ran wildly and knocked away the soft figure in the flames!
With a bang, Luna, whose health bar was almost at the bottom, did not fall to the ground this time, but -

She bumped into an extremely warm and strong embrace and was caught by someone.

".Huh?" Luna was slightly startled.

At the same time, a green light filled with the breath of life suddenly appeared, and then flowed gently through her body like a warm current. Her body, which was originally full of scratches, began to gradually recover to its original smooth and white color under the wash of this soft halo.

Feeling the miraculous changes in her body and the health bar above her head gradually rising, Luna instinctively raised her little face and looked at the person who was holding her horizontally; it was a gentle face that she had never expected!
The words "Ah" came to her lips, but she swallowed them back. The girl lowered her eyes slightly, not looking at the visitor. She was filled with endless sorrow, for the soldiers who died tragically in the battle, and for the person in front of her.
　Well, let it be.
