Sweeping Reed did not know how to describe his feelings. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy cavern, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
Could it be that the Dragon wasn't a wild animal? Could it be that the Dragon was under the control of a player? Could it be that the Dragon was a pet of a player from Up Everyday? If not, why were all of the casualties Golden Era's players suffered? None of the players from Up Everyday were injured! Furthermore, the city's defenses were completely unharmed by the dragon's ferocious dragon's breath. Could it be that this was cheating?
Breeze was excited, and Death Blossom was elated as well. She let out a long sigh of relief. Not only was she comforted by the Dragon's ownership, but she was also relieved that Golden Era had dealt a heavy blow to Up Everyday.
Sweeping Reed was right. Even though Up Everyday was a small guild, it did not mean that the guild was weak. Fate was different from other games. The population of the game was so large that it was impossible to suppress all of the guilds with numbers alone. Therefore, if a guild wanted to quickly become the overlord of the game, other than catching up with the other guilds in the early stages of the game, there were other methods that were necessary.
Although this was a little despicable, as the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from. In this world, who would really care about the process? Everyone only saw the result. Those who said that they didn't care about the lasting results and only cared about the process were themselves helpless and unwilling to give up their pride as an excuse. If one could reach the end of the game and see the outcome, who would care about the process? Although Golden Age's methods were always shady, in every game, which one of them wasn't the king that laughed proudly in the end?
Even though there were many who scolded Golden Era in public, there were even more who would swarm in if Golden Era wanted to recruit members. Qingfeng had long seen through this logic. No one in this world could be completely untainted. Even Confucius had to bear Nanzi's infamy for thousands of years. In this day and age, the most important thing was to do one's job well.
It was precisely because of this that Breeze agreed with Sweeping Reed's suggestion.
Up Everyday was indeed a small guild. There was no way they could compete with the established giant guilds like the Tang dynasty, Wolf Pack, Genesis, Sapphire, and The Black Plum Family. They could not even compete with the newly established medium-sized guilds like Steel Blood and Battle Spear. However, there were times when a Guild's potential had nothing to do with its size. Although the number of members in a Guild was a very important indicator, it was not the only indicator.
Guild Unity, Guild Expansion, Guild Dungeon Progress, and Guild Reputation. These were all criteria that determined whether a Guild was strong or not. Objectively speaking, the number of players Up Everyday didn't meet the standards, but the rest met the standards.
Such a guild was second to none in the Eastern Continent, and even in the entire Fate. Fate had only been open for a year. If they did not deal with Upwards Ho! now, they would have to wait until Golden Era's members had reached a certain level before they could deal with Upwards Ho!, and it would not be as easy as it was now.
In fact, Golden Era had already made a list of the guilds they were going to deal with the moment they entered the game. Unfortunately, Up Everyday was on the list. Despite their small numbers, they had a lot of players on the leaderboards. No matter how you looked at it, they were the first to be dealt with. However, despite their small size, Up Everyday was as slippery as a loach. They seemed to have known about Golden Era's plans. Their assassins had failed several times in their attempts to assassinate the players on the leaderboards. They were either in the city or in the dungeon. Golden Era did not mention this to anyone, but their first opportunity to deal with Up Everyday was a huge blow to Golden Era.
Golden Era suffered even more when they dealt with Gongzi You. Not only did they lose 10 players, they also lost 3 Secret Cloaks. It was not something that could be easily publicized. Honey Barbie was later punished for her actions, but no amount of punishment could make up for the losses that had already been done.
Golden Era seemed to have learned from their mistakes. They no longer took the initiative to attack other guilds, nor did they make any moves behind their backs. That was until the construction of the Lesser Demon Sanctuary began.
The city was well kept secret. Golden Era did not receive any news about the city on the first and second day, and it was already the third day when they received news about the city. However, it did not matter even if they received the news on the third day. A powerful guild like Golden Era was able to obtain all the information and find out who the owner of the city was. Even though Breeze did not know why Up Everyday wanted to build a city on the Lesser Demon Sanctuary, he could guess that it was to protect something.
However, the important thing was that Breeze's intelligence network found out that the NPC who was hired to build the city had already spent a fortune on it. It was obvious that the item that was being protected in the city was much more valuable than the city itself. Upwards Ho! would not have spent so much money on it if it wasn't for that. Not only that, if they were to attack now, the city would not be able to be built. This would be the real deal for Up Everyday.
Even though the human wave tactic was not very effective in the game, it was still very effective against a small guild like Golden Era. Golden Era had millions of level 20 noobs in the Eastern Continent. All they had to do was take out a small portion of them and they would be able to crush Up Everyday.
Breeze had wanted to send his men over earlier, but in the end, he delayed the attack until two hours before the city's defenses were completed. He did not do this to show off, but he had his own considerations. Even though Upwards Ho! was a small guild, there were quite a number of large guilds in the alliance. If Upwards Ho! was formed too early, the large guilds would be able to mobilize their manpower to help them. After all, Golden Era had done too many shady things in the past, and they were not on good terms with the large guilds. It was not worth it for the large guilds to lend them a helping hand. With the large guilds' help, Upwards Ho! was no match for the large guilds.
Secondly, if the city's defenses were to be destroyed at the very last moment, not only would the city's defenses be destroyed, but the morale of the entire Upwards Ho! guild would suffer a huge blow to their morale. Even if they were able to hold on for some time, they would be greatly weakened, and would no longer be a threat. As for the things behind the city, they would naturally fall into Golden Era's hands.
It had always been the case since ancient times. There was nothing much to be said about it.
What he did not expect was that Upwards Ho!'s high leveled players had all temporarily teleported back to the Lesser Demon Sanctuary. When Marsh of Reeds entered the map, Upwards Ho!'s main forces immediately flew over and intercepted Ye Ci's army. Even though it was a small hindrance to Golden Era in their attempt to take down Up Everyday, it did not change the outcome of the battle. The situation remained the same until the appearance of the Dragon.
Even though the number of small army players was a headache, a Dragon was even more of a headache.
The Dragon was a high-level creature in Fate, and was an irreversible BOSS in the dungeons. Defeating a Dragon in a dungeon usually required an elite party of a hundred players with superior equipment and levels, while defeating a Dragon in the wild required even more players. For a dragon that could fly, its level was obviously not low. If those hundreds of thousands of smurfs were to go up against a dragon, it would be like a field of ants going up against a flamethrower. There was no other possibility other than a one-sided battle.
This was the reason why Breeze was so uneasy when he heard about the appearance of the Dragon. However, it seemed that the Goddess of Luck was still on Golden Era's side. At the very least, they were able to take down Up Everyday despite the many twists and turns in the process.
While Breeze was deep in thought, he noticed that there was no sound from Marsh Reed for a long time. The uneasiness that had yet to be completely suppressed resurfaced. He asked, "Marsh Reed, are you still there?"
"I'm still here." Marsh Reed quickly replied, but his voice was so gloomy that it sent chills down the spine of those who heard it.
Breeze had spent a lot of time with Marsh Reed. He could naturally tell that something was wrong with his voice. The uneasiness instantly filled his heart. He asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?"
"Yup." The simple rune was sent out by Marsh Reed. It was as if a small hammer had smashed into a large mirror, shattering it in an instant.
"What?" Breeze furrowed his brows when he heard the rustling of the reeds. However, he was still Breeze after all. What kind of situation had he not encountered in the countless games that he had played? Therefore, even if this matter made him feel a little uneasy, it did not cause him to lose his composure. There were only two outcomes for this kind of plan, and there was no need to worry too much about it. Qingfeng had already seen through it. However, as someone who had been in the position of Overlord for a long time, he still didn't like failure.
"That Dragon seems to belong to one of the players Up Everyday." Sweeping Reed spat out the words through gritted teeth. As he spoke, the Dragon was chasing after the fleeing Golden Era players. It did not need to fly too fast. After all, the Dragon's flying speed was much faster than the low leveled players. Moreover, the Dragon's Breath had a long range. A single breath of the Dragon's Breath left a trail of corpses and cries of agony.
Marsh Reed had brought 800,000 low-level accounts with him. He was planning to use these low-level accounts to kill Up Everyday. However, the appearance of a Dragon turned all of these low-level accounts into nothingness. Of course, the low-level accounts did not want the experience points that they had worked so hard to level up to become empty. Thus, they fled in all directions. They ran for the Teleportation Stones or the edge of the map. However, there were too many of them. Their movement speed was greatly reduced, and the Dragon's Breath left a trail of corpses on the ground.
Ye Ci was very satisfied with this sudden assault.
Standing on top of Ol 'Six, Ye Ci controlled Ol' Six to chase after the fleeing players of Upwards Ho!. A wave of red damage values rose into the air, and Ye Ci's eyes turned bloodshot. Her Sin value was also increasing rapidly. At first, Ye Ci was in the mood to look at her Sin value. But now, she could not even be bothered to look at it. The Sin value of a low-level account was 0.1. After killing so many low-level accounts, she should have at least accumulated a Sin value of 9,000 …
Breeze clenched his fist when he heard Marsh Reed's words. He slammed his fist on the table, but did not say a word. He took a deep breath and asked, "How many people are still alive?"
Marsh Reed smiled bitterly, "I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you. The Dragon's Breath left a trail of corpses. I don't even know how many people are still alive."
"Forget it. Let's retreat." Although Breeze was unwilling to give up, he was still a man of foresight. It was not his style to let his emotions get the better of him over such trivial matters. He was a vengeful man. Since he had suffered a loss, he would not let it go so easily. However, he would not allow himself to be defeated. A man of character knew when to yield and when to stand tall. He had always done well.
If a man could only win and not lose, then he would not succeed.
"But … Boss … I can't accept this." Marsh Reed felt his heart bleed as he looked at the countless brothers he had personally brought into this battle.
Breeze smiled calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you to kill the Dragon next time. "
Sweeping Reed understood Breeze well. Since Breeze had already made his stance clear, there was no way he could stay any longer. He took a deep breath and shouted in the party channel, "Everyone, retreat! Don't pick up the corpses of those who have died. Revive at the graveyard and use your City Return Stones. Leave as many people as you can!"
Golden Era was indeed a super guild. All of their players were well-trained. Even after such a battle, none of them said a word in the world channel. They retreated even faster. Ye Ci stood on Ol 'Six's back. After a few seconds, the surviving Golden Era players turned into countless streaks of white light and disappeared from her sight.
That's it?
Ye Ci took in a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The clouds in the Lesser Demon Sanctuary were still as thick as ever, and not a single ray of sunlight could pass through them. But at that moment, Ye Ci's mood seemed to have lightened up. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
