Soon, the eight guilds that had obtained the right to attack the Stronghold were announced.
The Capital of Glory, Brother Aristocrats, Seventh Heaven, Azure Guard, Majin Temple and Freedom Sky. In addition to these eight well-known guilds, there were also two less well-known guilds.
The highest price was 55,000 gold from Brother Aristocrats, while the lowest was 23,000 gold from Majin Temple. The average price was 35,000 gold, which was much higher than Lu Li had expected. The average price was also much higher than what he had expected. He had originally thought that it would be good to get 15,000 gold.
The current gold price ratio was 42, so 10,000 gold was 420,000 dollars. Majin Temple, who had the lowest bid, had spent 1 million to bid for the right to attack the Stronghold.
In Lu Li's eyes, this situation was crazy enough, especially with Brother Aristocrats' 55,000 gold. Where did they get the confidence that they could take down Ruling Sword's Stronghold? Or, could it be that this club that had fallen out of the top 10 purely wanted to support Ruling Sword?
If Ruling Sword could defend the Stronghold, then Lu Li would receive 28,000 gold.
Building a Stronghold and attracting competitors to attack it was one of the ways to make money. The premise was that it could be defended. If it was attacked, then the loss wouldn't just be this small amount of money. All the previous investment would be equivalent to completely going down the drain.
The eight guilds that had obtained the right to attack the Stronghold immediately began to attack.
They were all attacking the Stronghold that was defended by System monsters, which was basically the same as Ruling Sword's strategy. The fastest to attack the Stronghold would win. If the remaining seven managed to take down the Stronghold, then they would receive a sum of money after paying Ruling Sword for attacking the Stronghold. If they couldn't even take down the Stronghold that was defended by monsters, then in the end, there wouldn't be much money left.
Therefore, in this sense, one had to be careful when attacking. If one didn't have the strength, then one shouldn't blindly participate.
These people attacking the Stronghold had nothing to do with Ruling Sword. Siege battles were equivalent to Instance Dungeons. Lu Li and the others had nothing to do in the morning. In the afternoon, they had to face the winners of the eight guilds. He brought his people into the Molten Core Instance Dungeon, determined not to waste a single second to increase everyone's strength.
Players who were participating in the Stronghold defense battle and hadn't reached level 60 were allowed to enter the Instance Dungeon to farm monsters.
A new cooldown meant that everything was back to zero. The nine Bosses that they had fought last week had all been for nothing. The new cooldown meant that they had to start from the first Boss. It didn't matter how many Bosses they had fought before.
Because many people had come in and most people's attention was on the Stronghold, the team's situation was slightly better.
"You guys have a lot of guild points, right? Believe it or not, if you don't see the Boss, your guild points will be reset to zero." It wasn't until Lu Li threatened to deduct points for another low-level mistake that the team's situation became a little better.
"Hey, Lu Li, which of these eight teams do you think has the best chance of fighting us?" Fat Monkey asked.
Because he was a Fire Mage, he wasn't allowed to enter the Instance Dungeon last week. This time, in order to bring him to level 60, Lu Li made an exception and allowed him in. After all, he was a professional player in the club, and he was also one of the main players in the Stronghold defense in the afternoon.
Fei Houzi didn't lack much EXP. He would definitely reach level 60 today.
"It's possible for any team. The key is whether or not they're willing to spend the money," Lu Li said after thinking for a moment. Before this, no one thought that Ruling Sword couldn't beat any other team.
"Could it be because of the chariot?" The Wander immediately thought of something.
"That's right." Lu Li nodded.
Everyone came to a sudden realization. Some of them had participated in the previous siege and had at least heard about the situation. Now that they thought about it, they had indeed wasted too much time on the city wall. If only there were twice as many chariots …
"If that's the case, won't it be troublesome for us to get the Black Sea Coast?" Wander frowned.
"You're not thinking of taking the Black Sea Coast with just a few chariots, are you?" Lu Li sighed as he shook his head. "There wasn't much competition before, so I only used those chariots. On Wednesday, we need to at least put a whole row of chariots at the city wall."
A chariot cost 50 gold. It seemed like a good price, but if they wanted to put a row of chariots, the amount of money would be insane.
If they went one step further, they might have to consider putting some chariots at the back as backups. Once the chariots in front were destroyed, they would have to replace them immediately.
It had to be said that Strongholds were for the rich.
After all, they had fought the Instance Dungeon once last week, so they quickly arrived in front of the Boss. Fei Houzi's EXP was still lacking, so Lu Li left him behind. Although they had changed a few players, the main force was still the same as last week. It would be easier to dispel the curse with one more Mage.
The first group was wiped out twice, but they succeeded on the third attempt.
There were two level 59 players here, and one of them was Fei Houzi.
This time, it was still Nightmare mode, but the drop rate was no longer the same as the First Clear. There was only one piece of Legendary equipment, and another Tranquil Shot Skill Book had dropped. The two Hunters in the party already had it, so they gave it to the other members of the guild.
Today, Ruling Sword had seven or eight groups entering the Molten Core. No matter how many Tranquilising Shots they had, they wouldn't feel like it was too little.
The three from Drizzle Court had to follow them to fight Ragnaros, so they couldn't go into the Instance Dungeon alone. Lu Li didn't suggest giving the skill book to Water Fairy. Although they had feelings for each other, there were some things that Lu Li didn't plan on changing.
The second Boss didn't last too long either. The team was wiped once, but they succeeded on the second attempt.
Lu Li was very satisfied with this progress. Knowing the strategy didn't mean that they would be able to clear the Instance Dungeon without getting wiped on the first try. Even when everyone was level 60 and had better equipment, they would still often get wiped in an Instance Dungeon like the Molten Core.
The second Boss still only dropped one Epic item, which was part of a Mage set.
Lu Li made the decision to give it to Fei Houzi. He was in the team for the sake of getting equipment, so the principle of prioritising competitors was always in effect. Of course, Lu Li still had to deduct points, and he didn't hold back at all.
A portion of Ruling Sword's DKP came from Instance Dungeon activities, Wild Boss activities, and also from guild points. As such, although Fei Houzi wasn't a hegemon, he could still afford to deduct 150 DKP.
This time, the number of Skill Points awarded was also greatly reduced. Of the two Bosses, only one person received a Skill Point as a reward.
Originally, they only planned to fight the first two Bosses, then prepare for the Stronghold attack in the afternoon. However, today's Instance Dungeon was so smooth that Lu Li decided to fight the third Boss.
The third Boss dropped two Epic items. The little lucky girl turned the tables.
The set was part of a Paladin set, which was given to Darkness. The other Epic item was the Bracers of Stability.
The Bracers of Stability was actually quite a rubbish item. Some players rated it as one of the three most rubbish items in the Molten Core. Lu Li didn't want it, and neither did Water Fairy. In the end, it was actually not sold. Lu Li didn't bring enough Thieves for this Instance Dungeon, so he could only hang it in the guild. After all, it was an Epic item, and there were still many ordinary players who wanted it.
