Black Dragon Empire, Lake Heart City:
Several Guild Elders and a dozen or so upper echelons stood quietly inside the Guild Leader's office in Miracle's temporary Residence. They all cautiously eyed the thin, middle-aged man before them.
This thin, middle-aged man was none other than Shredded Soul, Miracle Society's legendary character, who commanded the battle.
Although they were all peak experts, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw Shredded Soul's emotions. It was as if Shredded Soul was the absolute ruler of this room.
The reason why Shredded Soul was so tense was because of the message Starstreak had just sent.
"Starstreak is insane! He led over 3,000 players to deal with Ling Yi, yet he abandoned the mission and chose to retreat! Doesn't he know that the Vice Guild Leader can't tolerate defeat?"
"This is the first time I've seen Vice Guild Leader Shredded Soul so angry. Hopefully, Starstreak won't be punished too severely."
When Miracle's upper echelons saw Shredded Soul's frosty expression, they couldn't help wondering if Starstreak had a death wish. Although Shredded Soul was a Vice Guild Leader, his authority in the Guild was second only to the Guild Leader. Unlike other Vice Guild Leaders, who could only mobilize their own subordinates, Shredded Soul could do as he pleased. Even the Guild's trump card legions had to obey Shredded Soul's orders.
Throughout the entire Guild, Shredded Soul only had the authority to dismiss Guild Elders. Of course, Shredded Soul needed sufficient reason to dismiss a Guild Elder. He could not casually dismiss a Guild Elder. As for Guild members below Shredded Soul's rank, that was even more so.
That was why the other Vice Guild Leaders of the guild were wary of Shredded Soul.
However, this couldn't be helped. After all, Shredded Soul had contributed a lot to the Guild. The Guild Elders and Guild Leader had agreed to give him such authority.
Just thinking about how Starstreak dared to defy Shredded Soul's orders made their scalps tingle.
After some time, Shredded Soul finally calmed down. Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good! Very good! " Shredded Soul's lips curled up as he read the information Starstreak had sent him. "It seems that I've underestimated Ling Yi. It's no wonder why he dares to provoke Miracle Society. It turns out that he has the qualifications to do so."
"Vice Guild Leader Soul, what happened? Could there be something special about Zero Wing's 100-man team? "The upper echelons present could not help but look at Shredded Soul in confusion.
Shredded Soul had clearly been furious that Starstreak had given up on retreating. However, after he read the information Starstreak had sent him, he actually smiled …
To those who were familiar with Shredded Soul, this kind of smile was very clear what it meant.
That was because he had encountered something that interested Shredded Soul Shifang or someone that could be considered a worthy opponent. Therefore, Shredded Soul Shifang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Take a look for yourselves!"
Shredded Soul sent the information to the office and displayed it to everyone. The information was a battle video of Fierce Snake and the others. In the video, Fierce Snake and the others had been clumsy when they had faced the first wave of teams. However, when they had faced the second wave of teams, they had improved significantly. Fierce Snake and the others had easily suppressed the Tier 2 Refinement Realm experts. Through continuous battles, they had even whittled down the Tier 2 Refinement Realm experts' HP.
Fierce Snake and the others' combat power rivaled that of Miracle Society's peak experts.
"How is this possible? How can Ling YI Society have 20 members with combat power rivaling peak experts?! "
"Based on the information we know, although Ling YI Society is stronger than ordinary first-rate Guilds, it has no more than 10 peak experts. How can 20 of them suddenly appear?"
Miracle Society's upper echelons goggled when they saw Fierce Snake and the others in the video. They couldn't believe their eyes.
At this moment, they more or less understood why Starstreak had chosen to give up on retreating. Twenty peak experts with combat power rivaling peak experts might not pose much of a threat in a frontal battle, but in a field battle, their combat power was immense. Several hundred players wouldn't be able to do anything to these 20 peak experts. If they wanted to capture so many peak experts in the field, they'd need at least several tens of thousands of players. If they split up into 1,000-man teams, they'd only suffer greater losses.
"Notify Starstreak and the others that they can retreat now," Shredded Soul said calmly.
"Vice Guild Leader, Ling YI Society is clearly trying to intimidate us. Are we just going to let them go?" one of Miracle's upper echelons asked curiously.
With the army Miracle Society had dispatched, they could easily lock down Blue Wave Rock and kill Fierce Snake and the others.
"We are Miracle Society. We don't need to use such a thankless method against Ling Yi. Since Ling Yi wants to show us how capable they are in guerrilla warfare, we'll return the favor!" Shredded Soul said, smiling. "Notify everyone to split up and target Ling YI Society's members. Previously, we only targeted the area around Lake Heart City. Now, we'll target Ling Yi's members throughout the Black Dragon Empire. I want to see which of us can kill the most!"
Realization dawned on Miracle's upper echelons when they heard Shredded Soul's command.
To put it bluntly, so what if Ling YI Society possessed extraordinary combat power?
Ling YI Society's overall strength was too weak. If they split up and attacked, how much could Ling Yi possibly control?
Although doing so would damage Miracle Society, Ling YI Society would suffer far greater losses.
When Starstreak received the command, he immediately ordered Miracle's army to leave Blue Wave Rock and stop fighting Fierce Snake and the others. News of this quickly reached the various superpowers' ears. After all, Miracle had caused quite a commotion this time.
"Miracle actually retreated?!"
"What on earth happened at Bitao Rock? They actually retreated from over 3,000 players just like that? "
The various superpowers were shocked when they heard about Miracle's retreat, and they immediately sent their subordinates to investigate the situation in Blue Wave Rock.
However, when the various superpowers heard about the situation, they were shocked. They had never thought that Ling YI Society had such a foundation.
At the same time, they were also shocked by Ling Yi's performance. They had never thought that the Ling YI Society could force Shredded Soul into a corner. Aside from clashing with the various superpowers, such a situation hadn't occurred in the virtual gaming world for a very long time.
This incident caused quite a commotion among the various superpowers. When Gentle Snow, who had been busy on Thunder Island, Unyielding Heart, who had been raiding ancient ruins in the Dark Night Empire, and Illusory Words, who had been raiding Team Dungeons, received the news, they were all shocked.
Meanwhile, inside Ling Yi City's Candlelight, Shifeng was immersed in a sea of forging, madly producing one Basic Combat Device after another. After more than a day had passed, the sound of a system notification reached Shifeng's ears.
System: Congratulations! You have produced the Strengthened Basic Combat Device. Forging Proficiency + 5. EXP + 368000.
