Exiting the city, I saw that Yue Qing Qian and the 100 people that Old K brought were waiting on the outskirts of the city. Most of them were heavy armor classes like swordsmen and berserkers; classes that focused on attack. As they watched me approach with my sword in hand, the group all nodded their heads, “Hello Guildmaster!”
I nodded my head to return the greeting, “I’ll be making a personal trip, so to have you all accompany me, I’m a bit embarrassed!”
Thousand Suns over Snowy Fields raised her staff and said, “Us members of [Zhan Long] will definitely try to find a way to expand the guild. We can’t let the people of [Vanguard] bully other without lifting a finger. Firestone Valley’s Arctic Fox Forest may be under the control of [Vanguard] but this time, we will be testing the waters. We’ll see if [Vanguard] dares to try and fight against [Zhan Long]!”
I couldn’t help but smile: “Thousand Suns saw through it, it really is like that. Let’s go!”
Our group majestically left Ba Huang City and went straight towards Firestone Valley. Any monster that was unfortunate enough to be on our path was immediately wiped out. I also let out my Flaming Tiger God and had him cast [Burstfire Raid], causing the entire group to be stunned at its power. Even Thousand Suns Over Snowy Plains had her small mouth dropped wide open, “Wow, Guildmaster’s pet…it’s incredibly strong. Haha, it’s even cute looking…”
Yue Qing Qian laughed, “Wei, the Flaming Tiger God grew even bigger, it looks so strong…”
I scratched the head of the tiger, “Of course it’s strong, if I didn’t have his help, then I wouldn’t had been able to kill so many people under Jian Feng Han’s watchful eyes…”
Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands asked, “Guildmaster, what tier is this Flaming Tiger God?”
I answered honestly, “Valkyrie Tier BOSS rank….”
“Eh…” Thousand Suns Over Snowy Fields went silent for a while before perking up her head again, “Guildmaster, getting myself involved with you wasn’t a bad decision at all…”
I didn’t say anything.
After 10 minutes or so, we finally arrived at Firestone Valley with me at the front of the group with my Frost Rain Sword at the ready, “Everyone, be ready to enter the forest, we definitely don’t want to be the first one to strike against any other player. But if we get attacked by another group, then immediately counterattack!”
The healers all began buffing the group one by one with [Encourage] and even Yue Qing Qian used her stealth mode. Old K carried his Haunted Twinblade Axe with a ferocious look as he walked by my side. Then the rest of the hundred players began their descent into the depths of Firestone Valley.
Arctic Fox Forest was enveloped in layers of dark clouds; it seemed that today, it would rain.
I checked the map coordinates, it seemed that the rumored Lv 9 Blacksmith should be ahead of us to the right. The distance was less than 1000 meters. After a few minutes we would be able to reach it.
Suddenly, a group of players walked out from behind the bushes, it was a group of players from [Vanguard] with their vice guildmaster–Fushen Thousand Blades!
He raised his monk’s staff, and growled, “Halt, this place is under the control of [Vanguard], please turn back and walk a different way! The monsters here are for us to kill.”
I strode forward with my sword in hand until the distance between Fushen Thousand Blades and I wasn’t even a single meter. With a faint laugh, I refused to obey his instructions to stop and continued to walk forward. I brushed past him with my sword held up high, and yelled out, “People of [Zhan Long], walk with me! We’re merely passing by, if anyone dares to attack us, then kill him!”
Old K, Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands, and the rest followed me one after another, in a state of mutual hostility!
Behind Fushen Thousand Blades, the group of [Vanguard]’s players stood dumbstruck, as if they never thought of the possibility that I wouldn’t answer and would simply walk across just like that. After that, I even made a threat, something totally beyond their imaginations. In other words, I hadn’t acted according to the way [Vanguard] had expected me to act.
……
“Vice Guildmaster……” One of [Vanguard]’s archers opened his mouth, looking at our [Zhan Long] group as we entered the forest, asking: “What…… what should we do?”
Fushen Thousand Blades hefted his staff and gritted his teeth: “I’ll ask guild leader’s opinion first!”
“Okay……”
