I turned around and looked at Qing

I turned around and looked at Qing Qian, “Melon, what’s the situation like on the other three sides of the fort?”

Qing Qian said, “We’re only suffering around 30% of the losses we suffered before and are killing many more of their players. If you look at the scene yourself, it’ll be obvious. [Vanguard], [Flying Dragon], and [Hero’s Mound] also lost quite a few players. Based on my estimates, they have no way of continuing this fight. Even if they were to sacrifice every last player, not a single one would step into Dragon’s Den. So I think that… Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han are waiting. They are most likely waiting for the NPC army to launch their attack. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have any way to continue in this fight.”

I furrowed my brows, crossed my arms and fell into deep thought. I leaned against the wall behind me and didn’t say a word.

Matcha walked over and asked, “Boss, should we be doing something right now?”

I smiled at her. Matcha was very clever and her strategizing was indeed better than everyone else’s.

Ye Lai then added, “What should we do? Are we not going to continue holding them off here?”

Misty Cloud added, “Yeah, if we defend ourselves here for another 5 hours, then the quest will be over and we’ll be able to get our reward. If we really do complete this quest, then [Zhan Long] will become the biggest winner. Of the top 100 players with points, 81 of them are from [Zhan Long]!”

Who’s Blue looked towards me and asked, “Guildmaster Xiao Yao, why don’t you say something? Just what are we going to do?”

I looked up and said, “Right now, what we need the most isn’t more soldiers, but time. If the Fierce Tiger Army really comes at us from the Glacial River Valley, then the later they come, the more likely we’ll win. I plan on sending a team out of the city to tie them down and lead them in the opposite direction. This way, we can minimize the time they have to charge at us. That would be the best path for us to take.”

“You’re going to send a team out of the city?”

Han Bei Song glanced at our surroundings and smiled, “Looks like that’ll be a very hard task. We’re currently completely surrounded…. Jian Feng Han and Q-Sword have been eyeing us this entire time. With those two battle masters watching us, who would dare to go out?”

I gripped my sword and stood up, “I think that I’ll personally lead the team….”

Ye Lai held up a hand and said, “No, there’s no need…”

“Why’s that?”

“You’re the commander of Dragon’s Den, the spirit of [Zhan Long]. If you were to die outside, then there’s no way that we can justify your death, nor help you bring back your body. Just use my people to do this…” Ye Lai took a deep breath and smiled, “The 7th, 9th, 12th, and 14th divisions of [Judgement] are all in the Purple Demon Forest awaiting my command. In total, I’d have around 11,000 players. I’m going to command the four divisions to charge at the Rhinoceros Cavalry right now, and use all our might to drag them down; how does that sound?”

I furrowed my brows and said, “The attack power of the Rhinoceros Cavalry is extremely strong and they move very fast. These are all advantages over foot soldiers. Dragging them down means that you’ll be sacrificing yourselves to gain some time for us. Just how is [Zhan Long] going to return [Judgement] a favor this big?”

Ye Lai smiled widely at me and patted my shoulder, “If you think of me as a brother, then there’s no need to return any favors.I know that when [Judgement] gets into any trouble, then you’ll definitely come to support me too!”

I didn’t say anymore and gave a firm nod, “Yes, we will!”
