“Just how many is a lot?” Sword Demon and the others knew that Vast Lushness’s spyss was a powerful tool, and they had already taken the initiative to locate her when they needed to confirm the reconnaissance.
“It’s just people all around us. It seems like we have been surrounded. With such numbers, it is most definitely not just 1 or 2 guilds here. I reckon it must be the guilds that were defeated in the recent City Wars that have gathered in hopes of taking their revenge on us,” Vast Lushness truly had plenty of fighting experience in games.
“D*mn them all. How unbing!” War Without Wounds expressed his indignation. This sort of situation was like they were willing to gamble but refuse to admit the loss. It was utterlycking in character.
“This is a one time challenge,” Sword Demon’s expression was grim. “Currently, our guild is very much the target of the public’s ire. We most definitely cannot back down from this fight, as the moment we show ourselves as weak, the yers in Yunduan City would know that even though Extremely Heaven Defying has control of six city Precincts, joining us would not be a good thing. We might all be killed in the end, but we must most definitely make these attackers pay an even more painful price for their actions. We need to let the yers in Yunduan City know that trying to carve up Extremely Heaven Defying would most definitely not be a happy asion.”
During crunch time, Sword Demon would not be giving a superficial speech like what he did during the bonfire night party before. Every word he uttered was clean and crisp, directed straight toward the listener’s hearts. yers who heard him speak could feel a thoughte to all their minds: <i>That’s right, we definitely cannot let others think we are pushovers. Even if we are to die, we have to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, because we would most definitely not die in vain!</i>
“Well said, boss Sword Demon!” Nobody had any idea who was the one that shouted this, but a round of apuse thundered from it, with even others who directly gave out a roar into the night sky. It was all thanks to Sword Demon, a man who would always look a little dull on every other asion, along with the atmosphere that permeated, that this gathering tonight would actuallye to such a head.
“We’ll go with the formation we used during the City Wars event. Organize into your battle teams!” Sword Demonmanded.
The teams were swiftly formed up. It had only been a day since the fight in the city had ended, so everyone still remembered how they were organized then.
“Strive to break this encirclement and seize the initiative. We’ll turn around right after and dish out the pain!” Sword Demon dered.
The yers echoed his sentiment with resounding battle cries. Furthermore, these yers that were encircling them had finally appeared in everyone’s field of vision, while Young Master Han had already walked up right beside Vast Lushness and reached his hand out to her.
Vast Lushness was truly left without any choice. Even though Young Master Han would very quickly return the spyss once he was done using it, the frequency of which he wanted to borrow the item was really high, which honestly gave her the sense that she was the one who was borrowing the item.
Despite having such a thought, Vast Lushness still handed the spyss over to Young Master Han.
Young Master Han raised the spyss and looked around, and immediately sent out a message through the guild channel, “They are about 200 meters away, standing about 1 meter apart from each other. It’s about a 10 rank deep formation, meaning we’re up against around 12,000 – 15,000 yers.”
“The closer they get, the deeper their formation would run. We should attempt our blitz on their ranks as soon as we can. Everyone, get ready,” Sword Demon yelled.
“Warriors to the front, Mages to the back,” Young Master Han said.
“Priests will be in the center while the Knights will act as the rearguard,” Sword Demon added.
“Archers in both nks,”
“Thieves get into Stealth and scatter.”
“Why are there two people givingmands....” The yers of Extremely Heaven Defying were very confused as they quietly whispered to one another.
“But theirmands are linked...”
“Or perhapsplementary?” They were all wondering, nevertheless acting in ordance.
“Two-manmands huh....” Deep Waters and Coco smiled at each other when they heard the yers from Extremely Heaven Defying discuss it.
“What familiar memories, but it’s unfortunate that the two of us won’t hear it anymore,” Coco sighed with regret.
“But we can still lend a hand,” Deep Waters took out his bow and sent a message over to Sword Demon. “I’m sure you’ll need a few teams to do a feint attack, right? Make it more difficult for the enemy to shrink in on us, even better if we create a bit of chaos in the process.”
“We’re already doing that. Are you and Coco leading a team too?” Sword Demon asked.
“Sure! But how would we be able to hear themands?” Deep Waters asked.
“Of course you will be able to, we’re a new guild!” Sword Demon said.
Deep Waters knew what he meant. A new guild meant the members were not familiar with each other, so that meant the guild leader would have to directly appoint team captains. Everyone was uncertain of the captain’s capabilities for the moment, so there would not be issues of submitting or otherwise.
Deep Waters very quickly got a party invite, and the party leader had already transferred leadership to him. What followed was a torrent of exmation over the party channel, “Ah? Deep Waters? Are you that Deep Waters? The one who was once among the ranks of the Five Unyielding Experts?”
Deep Waters faintly answered to the affirmative, “Yes, that’s me.”
“Ah!!” All the yers in the party mored.
“Stop acting mighty!” There was of course a voice that went to the contrary.
“Who is this person?” A cloud of question marks appeared.
“She’s my wifey,” Deep Waters said with a bitter expression on his face.
“Oh, hello sister-inw!!” There was now a cloud of greeting from the yers. This was an MMO at the end of the day, so if experts are all big brothers, that meant that the wife of an expert would be seen as a sister-inw.
“Our goal is the direct east, harry their advancement and be a general nuisance. Everyone, listen to mymand. We’ll be changing to the direction of the breaking point any time,” Deep Waters said.
“Roger that,” The moment the yers from the party saw that it would be an expert taking point, it was only natural for them to be all the more convinced of his capabilities.
“I’ve prepared traps due west from here. Lushness, you should head over to the blitz team. You won’t be able to keep up with our speed,” Deep Waters said.
Vast Lushness nodded as she left on her own to join Warriors, Mages and other babylegged job sses that made up the main battle team. While the main force mayck the flexibility, they would most definitely be ones wielding the most ferocious firepower.
“Our goal is due south. Is everyone ready with their ammunition?” Royal God Call was also taking charge as a team captain, and was pointing out into the distance to address his men.
“Captain, the direction you’re pointing toward is north.”
“I know that, I’m only telling you guys about it. I don’t have to be looking in the direction of south at the same time, do I?” Royal God Call said even as he unhurriedly turned 180 degrees around.
“The teams have finished forming up and we are 150 meters away from the enemy. Prepare to set off. Engage in battle before they reach 100 meters!” Sword Demon gave themand, sounding like he had a bit of a problem, but everyone understood what he meant. The 100 meter distance he was referring to was the 100 meter radius from the center.
With the four teams leaving in unison, Deep Waters, Sakurazaka Moony and Royal God Call’s three feint attack teams consisting of about 20 Agility-focused yers had great mobility. Their goal was not to kill the enemy, but to let them realize that they existed, not letting these people get the chance to deal a strong blow to their main force, thereby achieving their purpose of dividing up the enemy’s strength.
However, the moment these four teams set off together, the enemy had swiftly made their adjustments as well. The goal that the three teams were trying to achieve had been seen through by the enemy, and they continued to shrink in for theplete surround even as they began to reposition themselves. The south, east, and west directions slowly thinned, as they concentrated the bulk of their forces toward the north side, where Sword Demon’s team that consisted of their main force was being gathered.
“The enemy has seen through our ns,” Deep Waters sent this message to Sword Demon in a hurry. The feint attack teams could only attack as a ruse, and with their simple job ss distributions, even though they were facing thinned defense on the enemy, they were incapable of breaking through by their own power.
“Heh, it’s no wonder that such a simple n would be so easily seen through by the enemy,” Sword Demon simply replied.
“So you have another trick up your sleeve?” Deep Waters asked.
“Actually, our team is also a feint,” Sword Demon said.
“What?”
“When the enemy saw through our scheme, they would most naturally converge onto us and concentrate their manpower in response, which is why the defense on your side has thinned out,” Sword Demon began exining.
“I get that they thinned out, but we—” Deep Waters was saying when he suddenly got startled. Even though the three feint attack teams did not have much diversity in terms of their job ss distributions, it appeared as if theycked the power to turn into the main attack force, but if it was that certain someone...
“Royal, break through!” Sword Demon said over the channel.
“Got it,” Royal God Call answered as his entire team began to charge forward and blitzed the enemy. Archer fired their projectiles, only to hearughtering from the enemies on this side of the encirclement. <i>What sort of tricks can those 20 or so Archers pull out from under their sleeves?</i> The yer that was takingmand of the yers therezily waved his hand, and Guardians immediately stepped forward to provide cover for all. They were only up against Archers, and there was no need for them to engage in a long range skirmish. Since they were keen to try and break through the encirclement, that meant that they would have to attempt to get into a closebat engagement. What threat would these Archers be when they had to fight in melee range? The man was convinced that his team would easily massacre all these Archers if this happened. The leader happily watched on expectantly, seeing the opposing forces close in. The Warriors and Thieves happily got ready to do battle with the Archers as they got nearer.
Without any indication whatsoever, a single figure suddenly appeared within the ranks of the yers enclosing in, as if the 6 meters between them did not exist at all. A single ming glow appeared around this yer’s body, and itpleted two full revolutions, leaving a circle of white light in the wake of the attack.
“It’s him...” In that instant before the yer in charge of them got insta-killed, he realized who the person who assaulted them was. He was feeling very depressed; the encirclement that he participated in was huge, so why did that man just so happen to have bumped into him?! At the same time, he was also well aware that that thinyer of defence there would not be enough to hold back that man.
“Thousand Miles Drunk had broken through in the south!” This message was very quickly delivered to all the yers taking part in this encirclement.
“No problem. Let him break through. Thousand Miles Drunk isn’t their everything anyway. There’s still a lot more of their yers that we’ve got surrounded in our encirclement,” The leaders of the yers who hade out to put together this encirclement seemed to have already nned for such a scenario beforehand, which was why they were evidently none too flustered when they learned what happened. Vanquishing Thousand Miles Drunk? Even the 1000 yers from Carouse were unable to aplish this, though they were currently in such numbers that were multiple times greater than that, the whole lot of them were iparable in terms of the quality of the yers from Carouse and these people here. As such, none of them even toyed with the idea of attempting to take down Thousand Miles Drunk from the very beginning. Besides, their target was not Thousand Miles Drunk at all. Despite the fact that he was the main culprit that led to the downfall of the city assaulters during the City Wars event, all the yers here were presently even more envious of the reward from the event!
While Thousand Miles Drunk’s reward of being able to search for his bounty targets had left most of the yers terrified, it was still a very bnced reward that he had gotten from a reward angle. They felt that it was truly a rubbish reward, so they considered it as heavenly karma for awarding it to Thousand Miles Drunk.
But Extremely Heaven Defying actually now held a monopoly of all the six city Precincts in Yunduan City after their merger, and that was the so-called tipping point that was really unbearable for everyone.
Perhaps everyone shared such a sentiment, but the yers here were actually the ones who had been motivated by their anger to do something about it. They needed to vent, otherwise they would not be able to sleep soundly at night. ying something like an MMO only made it that much easier for them to achieve this catharsis. There were basically no consequences aside from suffering rebuke from their victims. Not to mention the fact that they would be basically snuffing out Extremely Heaven Defying... yers would most likely be cheering and praising them for what they had done, right?
“Ignore Thousand Miles Drunk! Seize what time we’ve got and finish off all the yers of Extremely Heaven Defying; every single onest of them!!” The guild leaders of the guilds who hade forth to encircle Extremely Heaven Defying were all yelling this madly in their respective guild channels.
