Cloud Cloud City was filled with masked players. As soon as they discovered a Mage in black, they would stare at them. However, they didn't dare to get closer. If they were too far away, they wouldn't be able to see clearly. In the end, they could only carry the fear of being hacked to death and act like passersby as they brushed shoulders with others.
They brushed shoulders with one, but it wasn't. They brushed shoulders with another, but it wasn't. There weren't many Mages in Cloud Cloud City that wore black robes. Many Mages in black robes were repeatedly brushed shoulders. The search of a thousand players was quite intense. Every possible corner of the city had been searched, but they didn't find anything. However, the six districts that were extremely overpowered left them puzzled. Each district would be rewarded with a house. This was something that had been exposed by the major guilds. This meant that there were six safe houses that people could hide in. If the owner didn't open the door, outsiders wouldn't be able to enter no matter what. It was said that a cunning rabbit only had three burrows. Extremely overpowered actually had six addresses. How infuriating.
What was even more depressing was the fact that Overpowered had just received a reward. They had obtained the house, but they hadn't hung up the signboard yet. As for the exact location of the house, if the guild leader didn't tell them, then even the guild members didn't know.
What if they were hiding in their houses?
The player who asked this question was glared at. What should they do? There was nothing they could do. If they didn't know where the houses were, it was impossible to guard all six districts. In the end, they could only leave two or three people on each street to report any movements. This time, a lot of their manpower was taken away. The Main City of the parallel world was huge, and the streets were crisscrossed by the players who were born and raised here. After this deployment, it was like a geography lesson, and they discovered many streets and alleys in the sixth district that they had never heard of before.
"Looking at the current situation, they might be hiding in a house, or they might not be in the main city."
"If they're not in the main city, then it'll be easy to find them. They should be leveling outside the city. With their levels, we should be able to find them in a few leveling areas."
"Send people out!"
"Go!"
The thousand player search team left the city. Although the outskirts of the city were much larger, it was actually easier to find them than the city itself. This was because there was no target within the city, and no one knew what they were doing in some corner. As for the outskirts of the city, they were probably leveling. The leveling areas were fixed, so it was only a matter of time before they found something. If it was said that they did not level up outside of the city and were just hiding … then there was nothing more to say other than to call them bitches.
The Level 50 leveling area outside of Cloud City wasn't very lively. After all, there weren't many players who could level ten times higher than them. Gu Fei's party, on the other hand, was a very eye-catching team. Usually, apart from guilds, there wouldn't be a scene of hundreds of people leveling together, and they didn't avoid the gazes of the other leveling players around them. A Thousand Miles Drunk, an all-female Amethyst Rebirth, an all-female Immortal Lurking Amidst the Flowers of a Vulgar Man, these were all famous characters with distinct characteristics in Cloud Cloud City. Players who could level up to ten levels above them wouldn't be unable to recognize these characters.
"Guild Leader, we saw Thousand Miles and the others at the Level 50 Cloud Maple Forest," someone sent a message.
"Oh? They seem to be very relaxed! "The person who received the message was Against the Current. Of course, most of the experts in Cloud Cloud City would be recruited by the big guilds, so those who could level in the Level 50 leveling area were basically people from these guilds. At this time, not only was Against the Current receiving the message, but there were also people from Sworn Sword who were gossiping. On the other hand, Black Index Finger's group had all their experts participating in the battle, so no one came to the leveling area.
"The victory at the Archer Shooting Range was quite beautiful. They wiped out their opponents with almost no losses," Against the Current, who was beside him, said.
"A bunch of second-rate trash. I'm not surprised that they were wiped out like that even with the help of experts." Against the Current was quite calm.
"Those people might be from Moonlit Night City's Ten Guild Alliance," Shan Ziling said.
"Yeah! Aside from them, I can't think of any other strong reinforcements for A Thousand Miles Drunk, "Against the Current said.
"But doesn't the Ten Guild Alliance have over four thousand players?" Shan Ziling said.
"This is a battle for Cloud Cloud City. It has nothing to do with the players of Moonlit Night City. They came to help out purely to support their friends. Only those who are friends will come. As for those who aren't, they shouldn't come." Against the Current was worthy of being a guild leader. He also understood the difficulties of being a guild leader in the game.
"But I think they only have two hundred people at most. I'm afraid they won't be of much use, right?" Shan Ziling said.
"That depends on how they use it. Why isn't Young Master Han online? Where did he go? "Against the Current had a friend of Young Master Han. He was slightly surprised to find that he wasn't online at this time.
"Oh, he probably went offline to contact those guys in prison. I think those guys are going to suffer a bit this time," Against the Current sneered.
"Then what about us?" Shan Ziling asked. Their guild leader had always been very concerned about the confrontation between the two sides. Knowing Against the Current's character, he also knew that their guild would choose an opportunity to interfere.
"Let's see how they respond this time. Have the people in the leveling area pay attention. "Against the Current said.
In the leveling area outside of the city, leveling continued. But as time went on, Cloud Midnight became more and more vigilant. He had already determined that the other side wouldn't be so passive and would definitely come looking for them. Honestly speaking, he didn't think leveling was a good idea. There were so many people in the leveling area, so it would be too easy to find them. However, the efficient leveling method was still very tempting. Even though it wasn't his own city, Cloud Midnight didn't want to miss out on the opportunity. Life was always full of contradictions.
"It's about time to go." Cloud Midnight felt that the other side would find them soon and finally said to Gu Fei.
"Oh?"
"They'll probably come looking for us. Our group is quite eye-catching. Maybe they've already found us and sent people to gather." Cloud Midnight said.
"Makes sense." Gu Fei nodded. At this moment, a system notification rang out. Young Master Han had also come back online. He sent a message: "How is it? Were you attacked?"
"Not yet."
"The other side sure is slow!" Young Master Han said.
"What do we do now? Find another place to level? "Gu Fei asked.
"How about we go to another city?" Young Master Han said.
"How bold!" Gu Fei said.
"Yeah, we must play with them until they're crippled." Young Master Han said.
"How long do you want Sword Ghost and the others to come online?" Gu Fei said.
"If I don't give them information, they won't come online … …" Young Master Han said.
How ruthless! It was actually an unknown number. This time, Black Index Finger and the others were in for a hard time.
"Let's go to Moonlit City first!" Young Master Han said.
Gu Fei also agreed with this decision. He turned to Cloud Midnight: "How about we go to your side first?"
"Oh? Wait for them to exhaust themselves? Play them to death? "Cloud Midnight was quite familiar with these kinds of tricks and quickly came up with an idea.
"Yeah." Gu Fei nodded.
"Let's go." Cloud Midnight was also straightforward. He sent out a message and nearly two hundred of his brothers set off. At the same time, they were vigilant of their surroundings. If they saw people looking at them, they had to be careful.
"Should we kill them?" Cloud Midnight pointed at a group of people who kept looking at them and asked Gu Fei, "Those bastards keep looking at us. I don't think they have good intentions."
Gu Fei looked at it and recognized the Singing to Wine badge. He smiled and said: "No need, let's go!"
Cloud Midnight and the others were already on their way. Gu Fei went to talk to Amethyst Reborn and Sakura Tsutsuo. The two families didn't have any objections. Gu Fei also clearly told the girls: Before this matter was settled, the girls shouldn't return to Cloud City. Everyone knew that they had a close relationship with Gu Fei, and they were so weak. This indirectly became Gu Fei's weakness. It would be troublesome if he attacked them to threaten Gu Fei.
The girls had always regarded themselves as weak, so they were understanding and agreed to temporarily leave the main city to avoid danger. However, when they talked about traveling, they became excited. Previously, when Amethyst Reborn followed Crisscrossing on the Four Seas Expedition, many of the girls at Black Dragon Mountain Range didn't dare to cross the single-log bridge. After that, they listened to the girls talk about Forest Shade City, Waterside City, and other different scenery in other main cities, and they all felt that it was interesting. After that, they also heard from Strange Eye about the fog in Cloud Fog City, and they also felt that it was worth going. In the end, along the way, they simply discussed where to go. Some even suggested going to all the main cities. Gu Fei deeply felt that Amethyst Reborn might not return to Cloud City.
"They left!!!"
This news was received by both those who participated in the battle and those who didn't. Black Index and the others were anxious and quickly asked for directions. Against the Current and the others continued to calmly drink their tea and wait for the follow-up.
"Direction … Look at the direction, they seem to be leaving Cloud City!!" This news also arrived at the same time. Against the Current and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. Everyone knew how serious the problem would be once these people left. Black Index and the others were extremely anxious. They had to let the speed team delay them for a while.
"There are also slow characters among them, and they can't walk fast. Agility players, go and harass them as much as possible. We must delay them." The order was passed down one guild after another. The members had already assembled and were prepared to rush to the leveling point. Who knew that there would be such an unforeseen event? If they continued to advance at normal speed, the two sides would always be the same speed, and the distance would always be the same. It was necessary to send out the agility players.
The agility players were just Thieves, Archers, and a few others who randomly added points. At this moment, all of them were like suicide squad members, and they braced themselves and rushed out.
"How many people?" Black Index Finger asked his subordinate who was doing the statistics.
"Around a thousand!" The exact number couldn't be calculated in a short amount of time, but because of the resurrection point, the dungeon, the Wanted Quest Office, and other messy places, they still had to keep people around. Adding on the fact that they didn't have fast legs, the statistics player added, "Shouldn't be more than two thousand."
Two thousand versus three hundred … It was supposed to be a battle of annihilation without any suspense, but the group of people didn't have much confidence. They only cautiously told them to delay them, and didn't even think about using their absolute advantage in numbers to eliminate the enemy.
Even the higher-ups didn't have confidence, let alone the ordinary players. Along the way, everyone was actively moving towards the back of the group, not wanting to be the vanguard. It made it seem as if the group was moving backwards, and the guild leaders leading the group were furious. The guild leaders were always very proactive, and they desperately wanted to defeat A Thousand Miles Drunk and Very Overpowered, and fight for huge profits. However, the players under them didn't have the same awareness, and when it came to this crucial moment, they all wanted to hide like turtles.
"Damn it, what are you afraid of? Charge with me. What's wrong with A Thousand Miles Drunk? We'll kill thirty people at most. Even if they kill thirty people each, three hundred people can kill nine hundred people, and we still have a thousand people! If you have the guts, let's fight the system guards! "a guild leader shouted angrily.
"We're so far from the city, will the guards come?" someone asked doubtfully.
This question was too profound. Other than A Thousand Miles Drunk, who else could kill more than thirty people …
Moreover, the guild leader's speech didn't solve the problem at all. In fact, it wasn't that they didn't have the confidence to win, but that even if they won, there would be casualties, and they didn't want to be the ones to die. That was why they all hid at the back of the group, just like the guild leader's math problem. If nine hundred people really died, of course, no one wanted to be the nine hundred. They all wanted to be the one thousand who survived. If they wanted to survive, they naturally had to work hard, such as hiding at the back of the group.
With everyone hiding, the group advanced as slowly as a tortoise. A few guild leaders were anxious, but among the nearly two thousand people, only a few belonged to their guild, and the others didn't listen to them at all. The few guild leaders had no choice but to complain. Thus, all of the guild leaders flew into a rage and used the same words to reprimand them in the guild channel. This slightly improved the situation. Those at the front of the group could only blame their bad luck. In their hearts, they were thinking about how to swiftly run away when the battle started. At this moment, they were too embarrassed to crawl back. The so-called agile group had finally picked up their speed.
"Where, where!" The group that picked up speed also yelled out a few words to boost their morale.
"Damn it, is there a second path to Moonlit Night City?" the party leader knocked on his head and shouted. The group kicked up a cloud of dust and ran towards the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
"Any news from the scout in front?" the party leader asked the player in charge of surveillance.
"Confirmed to be heading towards Moonlit Night City," the scout reported.
"Where are we now?" the party leader asked.
"We're going up the Black Dragon Mountain Range," the scout said.
"Good, we'll be there soon."
At this time, the group wasn't far from the Black Dragon Mountain Range. After hurrying over, they could vaguely see a group of people walking along the mountain path. At this point, no one dropped the ball. Everyone rushed up the mountain path in one go. The archers at the front were already ready, and they were just waiting to get into range to attack.
However, the mountain path wasn't wide, and the group couldn't spread out. This was similar to the urban warfare in the city. Once the shooting started, no one would be able to stand in the middle. This made the Thieves in the agile group feel as if there was no place for them to use their skills. As a result, the group began to fiercely debate whether or not the Thieves should get close first, and then the archers should cover them with fire.
However, the Thieves firmly opposed this tactic. They believed that with so many archers on their side, they should directly suppress them with fire, and then the Thieves would cover them with fire.
In the end, they decided to use the second tactic. The archers at the front chased after them, and then immediately fired. However, the archers at the back were still shouting, "Closer, closer!"
The archers at the front were furious. Closer, close to A Thousand Miles Drunk's sword? Damn it, so they completely ignored it. At this time, the group was lined up left and right. At most, there were ten people side by side on the mountain path. The players at the front were unwilling to continue advancing, so the people at the back had no chance to do anything. Their firepower was very small. In order to attack, the people at the back pushed forward. The people at the front refused to advance and cursed back. The captain shouted from the side, "Watch your manners, watch your manners." Suddenly, someone screamed and gradually moved further away. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that someone had gotten too close to the cliff and accidentally fallen. Fortunately, they had just climbed up the mountain, and the cliff wasn't deep. Soon, they heard the sound of someone landing. Everyone looked over and felt gratified to see a corpse below. There were no corpses in the game. If they could still lie there, it meant that they weren't dead.
"Everyone, don't panic. Take it slow! Maintain the attack, and get into position! You can close the distance a little more. Thirty to forty meters is no problem!!! " The captain took advantage of the moment when everyone had calmed down to give instructions. Everyone calmed down. Because of the previous chaotic wave of attacks, the opponents didn't counterattack at all. They just continued on their way, and it seemed like they didn't have the strength to fight back. Instantly, they gained some confidence. They listened to the captain's orders and got into position to close the distance. Thus, in this second wave of attacks, almost a hundred archers shot arrows at the same time. It was a spectacular sight.
Looking at the opponents, they were already heavily armored warriors at the back. Their bodies glowed with white light, and it was obvious that the Priest was saving them. The captain was overjoyed and continued to give instructions. "Arrows, arrows, arrows, arrows! Let's see how much mana their Priest has!!!"
They chased and released arrows at the same time. The opponents were so stubborn. In fact, if they fully utilized their advantage in speed, they would have caught up long ago. However, the situation was so safe and reliable that everyone was happy to maintain it. Seeing that almost two thousand people were almost on the mountain path, the opponents stopped in their tracks. The archers didn't know why, but they stopped and continued to shoot arrows. The captain was quick-witted. He raised his arms and roared, "They can't hold on any longer and are going all out. Everyone, be careful. Destroy them!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became alert. The archers at the front were crying. If they were to fight, they would definitely die. If they wanted to retreat now, they wouldn't have the chance.
Suddenly, there was a cry from the back of the team. In the team channel, several people shouted, "There's an ambush."
These captains happily rushed to the front. They didn't know what was going on behind them. They hurriedly asked what was going on, and the answer was only four words. "A Thousand Miles Drunk!"
Before everyone could react, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound above them. Everyone looked up in confusion and saw countless black shadows descending. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of them. There were boulders, logs, and anything that could smash people to death on this mountain was here.
"F * ck, what's going on?" The players were shocked. The mountain path was narrow, and there was no way to dodge. Everyone tried their best to stick to the mountain wall. The players who were at the inner part of the mountain were lucky. They quickly grabbed a good position and avoided a lot of smashing blows. But most of the players were miserable. They didn't know how much damage these falling things could deal, but they would die if they were smashed. There was a white light on the mountain path. The players dodged here and there, crashing back and forth. Other than being smashed to death, there were many who were pushed down and knocked down the cliff. At this time, they were already in the middle of the mountain range. The cliff was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. The players who fell were dead …
