“Qing Qian, what’s the situation now?” I walked forward and smiled lightly.
Yue Qing Qian blinked her eyes, “Currently there are around 200 [Wrath of the Heroes] members nearby, all of whom were killed by us at least once and are basically running corpses at this point. Furthermore, it seems that the [Wrath of the Heroes]’s Guild Master Tyrant of Western Chu is downright furious. He has threatened to mobilize all of [Wrath of the Heroes]’s forces to storm the Green Qilin Valley in order to annihilate [Zhan Long], our newly established guild…”
I ground my teeth, pulled out my Frost Rain Sword and laughed, “Then let them come. How many people do we have here now?”
“Around 150+ people. Matcha is currently commanding the Zhan Long Camp while Li Mu is in charge of the Valiant Bravery Camp. For the time being they have split up to train.”
“Okay!”
I opened the guild chat and said, “Little Wolf?”
“Brother Xiao Yao?” Wolf replied.
I chuckled, “Send out around 10 Assassins and also around 10 Wind Elf Archers to patrol the Green Qilin Valley. Report back immediately if there is any news of [Wrath of the Heroes] so that we may prevent them from making a sneak attack.”
“Alright, understood!”
General Li Mu said, “Xiao Yao, what sort of deep resentment does Tyrant of Western Chu harbour against you, that he would go this far?”
I replied indifferently, “Actually, I also don’t know…”
Matcha giggled slightly, “According to my knowledge, Tyrant of Western Chu and Boss are students of the same school. Tyrant of Western Chu wanted to chase after Fan Shu City’s number one Assassin beauty Cang Tong but Boss is her bodyguard, so…Boss became the cannon fodder, bullied by Tyrant of Western Chu every single day…”
Feeling a little awkward, I said, “It wasn’t as melodramatic as you said… Maybe it was because I snatched a Black Iron Tier weapon [Bramble Thorn Sword]… Moreover I wasn’t bullied by Tyrant of Western Chu everyday, it’s just that he brought a lot of people…”
Ling Xiao Wu giggled, “Boss, rest assured, today is different from yesterday. You currently have 300 brave warriors from [Zhan Long] so even if [Wrath of the Heroes] fights against us with their full strength, we’ll still help you to get your revenge…”
Me: “…”
Old K made a fist with his hands and boomed, “No matter what, [Wrath of the Heroes] is the first guild that is going to fight us after our establishment. Today we will have to annihilate them no matter what!”
General Wang Jian: “That’s right, today we’ll annihilate [Wrath of the Heroes]!”
Everyone bustled with excitement. Each and every one of them were high leveled and had good equipment, so naturally they weren’t a peaceful bunch. Now, with a big battle coming, everyone was burning with bloodlust.
……
There were a lot of different types of monsters in Green Qilin Valley, with levels around 50-65. The further we went, the higher the levels. There was a Lv 70 monster near Green Qilin Abyss, and the players at the current stage almost couldn’t fight it. But with a group of 50+ players, a Lv 70 normal monster was still manageable; a Lv 70 Elite Monster would be a different matter.
Following the commands, everyone continued to train but they didn’t split up too much. Splitting the group of people into units of 100, 4 big groups killed the monsters in the canyon. The rate at which the groups killed monsters was extremely high and the guild EXP bar could be seen rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ka cha!”
Cutting off a monster’s arm with a dagger, Yue Qing Qian jumped lightly to my side to let the other two Swordsmen kill the monster. She giggled softly and said, “Brother Xiao Yao, at the most we still have 30 minutes before Tyrant of Western Chu makes a move. Now, there’s around 500 [Wrath of the Heroes] players gathering at the canyon’s side. Looks like…Tyrant of Western Chu doesn’t really have much confidence, he seems to want to gather at least a 1000 people before launching an attack against us…”
I nodded and muttered slightly, “[Wrath of the Heroes]…”
Yue Qing Qian blinked her eyes and said, “Boss, how do you plan to fight?”
I looked off into the distance and replied, “Dispatch half of the forces to battle at the front and defend the
surrounding area outside the canyon. Then dispatch the other half of the forces to attack from the side to disturb [Wrath of the Heroes]’s formations. This way the battle will be easier. We definitely have the upperhand in terms of quality, our average level is 52, while [Wrath of the Heroes] average level doesn’t even reach 49. This means that almost every one of us has level 6 skills, while they can only use level 5 skills…”
“Yup yup….are there any specific tactics?”
“For this, you should ask Matcha…”
In the skies above, a beautiful shadow flew past. Matcha descended towards the ground somewhat clumsily. She retreated a few steps but still couldn’t balance herself. Instead she stabbed her sword into the ground, and was barely able to prop herself up with it. Looking a little embarrassed, she gave a smile, “Simple, we’ll use our level advantage to the maximum. Let the Knights and Monks defend at the front while Fox leads a group of 30+ Musketeers behind. Execute a volley attack, everyone shooting forward; this should be able to kill quite a few people. Then take turns to shoot another volley. I guarantee [Wrath of the Heroes] won’t be able to endure it.”
I nodded, “Also, let Old K lead a group of Berserkers and Swordsmen to attack from the side. With [Whirlwind Blade] opening, [Wrath of the Heroes] will definitely cry their eyes out. Today, we’ll let them know the difference between us and them!”
Matcha pursed her lips, her eyes showing a little concern, “Old K’s attack should be enough already, I’m just worried… worried that he would be reckless and die immediately. Our morale will drop if that happens…:”
I sighed, “That is I’m worried about too…”
Yue Qing Qian coughed, “Ahem, you two are so mean…”
……
On one side, General Li Mu came carrying his sword and said, “Newest report, [Wrath of the Heroes] currently has 600 people gathering outside the canyon. They are starting to get restless, so they might start attacking at anytime!”
Matcha curled the corners of her mouth, “600 people, it won’t be enough for a show. Tyrant of Western Chu isn’t that arrogant, he would scrape together at least 1000 people before he directly attacks us, just wait. We’ll start forming our groups when they have gathered 900 people!”
“Okay!”
After a while, General Wang Jian whispered, “Guild Master Xiao Yao, [Wrath of the Heroes] has gathered more than 900 people already!”
I immediately raised my arms and shouted, “Frontline troops, organize yourselves and prepare to defend! Old K, Li Mu, Wang Jian, the three of you lead our attacking troops properly, move toward the south, be careful not to alert
the enemies!”
“Yes!”
……
In the canyon, around 300 people formed a horizontal battle formation. The first line had Knights and Monks. The second line had Archers and Mages. The third line had Musketeers while the fourth line had Healers. Other than me, all Swordsmen and Berserkers were led by the Valiant Bravery Camp to another position; Old K also went to
help. We were in charge of the defense here, while massacring and breaking the enemies’ defenses was left in their hands.
“Clang clang clang…”
Waves of heavy shields dropped to the ground and linked together. Each and every one of [Zhan Long]’s Monks and Knights wore a serious and heavy expression. Matcha also carried a Gold Tier shield and stood at my side, her mouth curling as she said, “Boss, I’m already Lv 51, am I counted as part of the main force now?”
“Of course, how could you not be counted in?” I laughed out loud.
Matcha flapped her wings and stood steadily. Full of confidence, she said, “Alright then, this time I’m fighting alongside Boss, please protect me well…”
“You are a Knight, you should be protecting me, not the other way around.”
“You’re the Boss..”
