On the other hand, Lu Li's side began to command the players to advance towards the Mage Tower after setting up their defenses.
If it weren't for the fact that they were coiled up together, there would probably be more of them. Moreover, from the top of the Mage Tower, there would occasionally be groups of snakes that would fall and hit the crowd, causing waves of commotion.
The last of the three Bosses didn't start off very well.
This was because Lu Li had neglected the fear of snakes, especially when there was a group of snakes falling from above. Many players were afraid to run away and there was no formation to speak of.
No matter how much Lu Li yelled, it didn't seem to work.
"Those who are afraid of snakes, go back to the cave and defend. Those who aren't, come out," Water Fairy said as she thought of an idea for Lu Li. Lu Li felt that it was a good idea and immediately passed it on.
In the end, he found that almost all of them were girls.
"I saw that there were guys who were scared away just now. Why didn't they come out? If they don't come out and run, don't blame me for deducting points," Lu Li said.
The male players below – the ones who were afraid of snakes – almost cried.
Boss, you said that those who were afraid of snakes should come out, but everyone was a man. Who would want to lose face and stand out? Naturally, the ones who stood out were all female players.
After this, no one ran away. Even if they were scared pale, the male players still gritted their teeth and held on.
The players who were blocked in the cave continued to suffer. They were under the control of others, so they naturally couldn't retreat. They could only risk their lives and charge forward in a small area.
After all, Paladins had invulnerability, Thieves had Gale Steps and Mages could jump over Ice Block. After dispelling Ice Block, they could close in a lot of distance with Blink. As such, they quickly rushed into the crowd of Ruling Sword players.
Could the defenses that Lu Li had arranged be broken through so easily?
Of course not!
What greeted them was the Warriors' Trample and Whirlwind. After being crowd-controlled, they then followed up with a wave of area of effect skills. Those who rushed in didn't even have a chance to do anything before dying. The only thing they could do was provide breathing room for the people behind them.
"Push them back." Wander did not participate in the battle. Instead, he stood at the back and watched.
When the players from the Gangnam Royals charged in, he was the one who ordered the Warriors to take action. After killing the players, the Warriors didn't retreat. It was the perfect time to charge in and attack the enemies.
The biggest advantage of the cave's defense was that it was small, so neither side could invest too many people.
Ruling Sword had deliberately chosen a favorable terrain. The enemy would only be able to see them after they had turned around. Therefore, there was no time for them to lock on to their target or cast their skills. Ruling Sword was ready to attack.
The players who had rushed over were brutally slaughtered. Their attack, which they thought they had seen a glimmer of hope, was destroyed halfway through.
"Whatever, we need to retreat. This terrain is too dangerous. Our players can't compare to the Club guilds, so this will only increase the number of casualties. The money you gave us isn't even enough to compensate for our casualties," the leader messaged Heart of War.
Of course, Heart of War was angry. Looking at the hidden branches of the major guilds, there was probably no one who had such weak control.
The huge influx of money had indeed made the club's top management very rich, but this also brought about a serious negative consequence. His power had been diluted. As the leader of the guild, if he wanted to command the branch, he would have to go through the board of directors first.
Now that his authority was being questioned, the people below began to have their own ideas.
If it was before, an order was an order. Even if they had to fight, they still had to carry it out. There was no way that they would be cheated for the casualties. They were just worried that their strength would be damaged and they would lose their position in the board of directors in the future.
Heart of War was helpless. He could only brace himself and send out the elite group.
When the other clubs saw this, they immediately gave up on the idea of sending people to test the waters. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Sending anyone to test the waters wouldn't be as good as sending a Club guild like the Gangnam Royals.
At this time, Lu Li still didn't know that a strong enemy had arrived. He was commanding the guild's elite group to enter the Mage Tower.
After entering the Mage Tower, the monsters were no longer poisonous snakes like in Snake Valley. They began to turn into ghost monsters. They were all victims of the evil Mage Allistarj's magic experiments.
Lu Li didn't let people kill these ghosts one by one. Ghosts were much stronger than poisonous snakes, and they were almost immune to physical attacks. The effects of magic attacks weren't very ideal either. He chose to take out Allistarj's talisman. This talisman didn't need to be activated. As long as it was taken out, it would cause damage and deterrence to the ghosts.
It was mainly deterrence. All the ghosts that were stimulated by the light of the talisman fled as if they had been electrocuted. Some of them had nowhere to run, so they curled up in a corner and shivered.
"Despicable thief, you've stolen my treasure, my treasure. Great Demon King Razelikh, please forgive your servant. He wasn't able to protect the treasure you bestowed upon him." A shrill cry sounded from the top of the Wizard Tower. Archmage Allistarj clearly knew who had stolen his talisman.
Without the ghosts blocking the way, Lu Li smoothly led his people into the Mage Tower.
The Ruling Sword players outside also retreated into the Mage Tower. As for the ghosts that had returned to normal because of Lu Li's departure, they returned to their original positions. They would help Ruling Sword block the incoming enemies.
When they arrived at the laboratory, Lu Li finally saw this Archmage in a white robe.
It was said that before Allistarj became a Demon Mage, he used to be a member of Dalaran. He carefully studied in the Mage Kingdom for many years, but unfortunately, his limited talent meant that he could only be a foil in the Mage Kingdom.
If it wasn't for his teacher's accident, he might have lived a peaceful life in Dalaran.
His teacher – the book that Lu Li was reading didn't mention his name. In short, he was an old Mage. This old Mage's situation was similar to Allistarj's, and he was also one of the lowest of the low.
The old Mage was old, but not old at heart. In order to pursue greater power, he began to study forbidden magic.
The so-called forbidden magic naturally belonged to the category that people couldn't casually study. The example of Azshara made the Capital of Magic abhorrent, so they tied the old Mage to a copper pillar and burned him alive.
Logically speaking, such an example should have been enough to deter other Mages from doing it again.
However, the name of forbidden magic opened a new world for Allistarj. When he was dealing with his teacher's belongings, he found a Mage's notebook that recorded the results of the old Mage's lifetime of research.
