Lu Li hated the idea of receiving equipment for low points, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It was just like how the designer of the Instance Dungeon felt a sense of achievement from killing the players. The leader's sense of achievement was probably related to clearing out the team members' guild points.
However, this thought only flashed by.
Lu Li was most concerned about whether or not the left face would drop. Brother Jarro had already given him face, so why would the Baron want to do it alone?
That's right, the left face was dropped by Baron Geddon.
If you wanted to synthesize the Whirlwind Blade, the most important thing was the left and right face. Without the left and right faces, no amount of money would be worth it. Lu Li hoped that they could complete the Whirlwind Blade in one cooldown. This way, they could achieve the perfect advertising effect. Ruling Sword's newly established advertising department hoped to focus on two things in the next stage of their advertising.
The first player's Stronghold and the first Whirlwind Blade.
If this dragged on until the next cooldown, Lu Li couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be surpassed by others.
Moreover, it wasn't impossible to obtain the Whirlwind Blade in one cooldown.
In his previous life, he had heard of many players who were lucky enough to obtain the Whirlwind Blade in one cooldown. Furthermore, they were currently doing the Instance Dungeon on Nightmare difficulty. There was also the lucky player, Canmeng, who had never let him down. If they couldn't obtain the First Clear of the Boss's left face, then it would be unfair!
"That's it," Canmeng said as he shook his head.
"That's it?" Lu Li didn't believe him.
"That's it!" The little girl was a little angry that he was doubting her professionalism.
Lu Li suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. He really couldn't understand why it didn't drop. Was this not Nightmare difficulty? Was it not a First Clear? Was it not a lucky player? Were those people who said that they could obtain it in one cooldown all talking nonsense?
In any case, it didn't drop.
It didn't drop after one cooldown, it didn't drop after ten cooldowns, it still didn't drop after a few years … these were all normal.
"Let's pack up. We're going to attack the Stronghold." The others didn't know what they had missed, but they were still immersed in the joy of killing two Bosses today. Lu Li didn't want to say anything to discourage them. Morale was useful, so they could take down the Stronghold in one go.
The Stronghold system was a very complicated thing, and it was constantly changing.
For now, the most important thing was to take the land from the system. In other words, the so-called Stronghold. A land that was originally unclaimed by the system. Player groups would spend money to apply to attack it, and the eight groups that paid the most money would be qualified to attack it. Only the guilds that could attack it would qualify for the next step of the competition.
Of course, they didn't have to use all their strength to attack.
The scale of such a battle was simply too large. If everyone participated in the battle once a week, there would be no need to develop at all.
What Lu Li needed to do now was to select 80 people. This was the standard number of people for a Fortress battle, or rather, the standard number of people for a Fortress battle in this situation.
If one Guild attacked another Guild's territory, the situation would be different.
Specifically, there were at least three situations.
The first option was for guilds that didn't have territories in the same or neighboring maps to attack another guild's stronghold. In that case, the guild would choose 50 of their own players. Then, 30 players would be randomly selected from the 200 reserve players, making up a total of 80 players.
The second option was for guilds that had territories in the same or neighboring maps. The number of people chosen would be 60, and the number of people randomly selected would be 20.
The third option was for guilds that had previously occupied this Fortress, but it was later taken away by someone else. In order to reclaim the Fortress, the number of people chosen would be 70, and the number of people randomly selected would be 10.
The number of people randomly selected would generally be based on a 1: 1: 3 ratio of healers, tanks, and damage dealers. Players could also choose a ratio of 1: 2: 2. There were other situations, but these three were the most common.
Obviously, randomization was an uncertain factor. The fewer the number of people randomly selected, the stronger the team would be.
Fortunately, it was randomly selected from the 200 reserve players. Otherwise, the major guilds would rebel.
The major guilds were strong, and the 200 reserve players would be even stronger. This way, the strength of the 80-man lineup would naturally increase. The territory that others had painstakingly built couldn't be taken without paying a price.
Of course, the scale of 80 people was for Basic Fortresses. After the Fortress leveled up, the number of people participating in the battle would increase. Right now, Lu Li only needed to consider Basic Fortresses.
A Basic Stronghold battle lasted for a maximum of two hours. If they didn't win within this time, they would have failed.
If they failed, then Sakura Memories' reward would be gone. This piece of land would be auctioned off as an ownerless land. All guilds and mercenary groups could participate in the bidding.
The people from Drizzle Court couldn't participate in Ruling Sword's Stronghold battle, so they could only leave the group.
"There's still 40 minutes until the Stronghold battle. Have you decided on the candidates?" Lu Li asked Genhao San as soon as he left the Instance Dungeon. Naturally, Lu Li didn't need to worry about choosing people. Moreover, he couldn't possibly know everyone in the elite group, so he mainly provided candidates for the middle and upper echelons of the elite group.
"According to your requirements, it's more or less done. It's just that there are a lot of people signing up," Genhao San replied.
"Choose people who have contributed to the guild and are strong." Lu Li actually didn't feel that much pressure. This was because the monsters in the Stronghold were only the average level of the players participating in the battle. This time, only Ruling Sword was participating, so naturally, it was up to them.
Fighting the Stronghold was easier than fighting the Molten Core, as long as the people he chose listened to his commands.
"Boss, are you guys here yet? I've been waiting for so long that the flowers are wilting," Fat Monkey yelled in the chat room. This time, he was like a lively big brother. He couldn't be blamed for being so impatient. Because he was a Fire Mage, he didn't even get a substitute position in the Molten Core this time.
"What's the rush? There's still half an hour," Lu Li said calmly as he organized the 80 people into a team.
There were a total of 16 teams of 80 people, and they all needed a small commander. When they gathered together, they would listen to Lu Li. After they dispersed, they could also follow Lu Li's instructions to carry out their own tasks.
At this time, the people that Genhao San had sent had already arrived. They traded some potions and items to Lu Li.
The first was the Chariot. This was the most expensive item in a Stronghold battle.
It was mainly used to deal with all kinds of defensive towers. There were two types of towers in the Basic Stronghold map. One was the Binding Tower, which was mainly used to slow down groups of players. The other was the Exploding Tower, which was similar to a turret that would cause explosion damage to groups of players. Without the Chariot, these two types of towers were enough to make the players want to die.
A Chariot cost 50 gold. When Lu Li spent this money, his eyes were filled with tears.
