However, Drinking Alone also understood what they had to choose.
Even with Ruling Sword's help, they didn't have much of a chance of taking down the Stronghold, let alone without Ruling Sword's support.
If they helped Ruling Sword defend successfully, then they wouldn't be asking for help anymore. This kind of reciprocity would help improve their position in the process of cooperation. After Drinking Alone went back and discussed with the club's higher-ups, they decided to fully support Ruling Sword.
They had carefully selected nearly twenty experts to join the defense of Gray Valley.
That's right, Lu Li's main defense was the Black Sea Coast. Grey Valley was basically handed over to their allies. There were 20 people from Grand Hegemony, 20 people from Peerless City, and the remaining people from Ruling Sword.
The Black Sea Coast was personally guarded by Lu Li, who was about to face the upcoming conspiracy.
Grey Valley was defended by Wander and Sky Moon. There were more and more signs that Lu Li's guess was likely to be true. For example, Eternal Kingdom fought a Wild Boss last weekend, and this Wild Boss wasn't fought over by The Capital of Glory like usual. The Capital of Glory had a concentration of Trade Skill players at a mineral vein. Eternal Kingdom hadn't been able to clear the Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj, but last week, they suddenly did …
If you didn't look for it, you wouldn't know. After careful observation, you really could find a lot of details.
Perhaps it was to force Eternal Kingdom to bow down. In the past few months, the Capital of Glory had been targeting Eternal Kingdom in almost every way. They were farming monsters in the Wild, collecting materials, stealing Bosses, and even PVP in the Wild. If they didn't comply, they wouldn't be able to survive.
However, this trend had already begun to ease at the beginning of the month.
This meant that at that time, they had already begun to negotiate and had made some progress. By the end, they were almost like a family.
The reason why they didn't immediately announce it was probably because Xiao Mo wanted to use their alliance. As expected, he chose Ruling Sword. On one hand, he was openly attacking the Grey Valley Stronghold, but on the other hand, he was using Eternal Kingdom as a cover to secretly attack.
Standing on the wall of the Stronghold, Lu Li was speechless as he watched the group of people approaching the wall.
All of them covered their faces. If they didn't have a guilty conscience, why would they do such a thing? Since when did Eternal Kingdom become secretive?
Compared to his surprise, the expressions of the people below were even more interesting when they saw Lu Li. Why was Lu Li the one commanding the defense on the city wall? Wasn't he supposed to be fighting against Xiao Mo in Gray Valley?
Apart from that feint attack where he sent Sky Moon, whenever he faced Xiao Mo, Lu Li would basically personally go out. He had no choice but to go out himself. Whether it was Wander or Sky Moon, they couldn't beat Xiao Mo. Their mental fortitude was at a disadvantage.
Not everyone was like Fei Houzi who was not afraid of Xiao Mo.
However, Lu Li was right in front of him, so it was impossible for Gray Valley to have another Lu Li.
"Why, are you surprised?" Lu Li was very satisfied with such an atmosphere. Even if he didn't know who was behind these masks, he could imagine their expressions.
"I don't understand what you're saying." Midnight Ghost took off his mask and looked up to speak to Lu Li.
"Yo, isn't this Ghost? Who's this next to you?" Lu Li asked.
"It's none of your business," Midnight Ghost said in annoyance.
"You're the leader of the Eternal Kingdom Club, the highest level of the combat profession, but you're standing under this person. Don't tell me you've been bought by someone else? That's really surprising. The once glorious Eternal Kingdom, the enemy of The Capital of Glory, has completely admitted defeat …"
"Alright, we're just forming an alliance. The acquisition you're talking about doesn't exist." The person standing next to Midnight Ghost also took off his mask, revealing the face of Xiao Mo that Lu Li had expected.
At this point, the surprise attack had become a joke, so there was no need to continue covering his face.
Lu Li wasn't a person who liked to talk nonsense. He exposed the matter that both parties were unwilling to talk about and used words to humiliate the Eternal Kingdom players. The direct result was that the morale of the Eternal Kingdom players plummeted.
By talking about how glorious their ancestors were and how depraved they were now, the Eternal Kingdom players would only be unhappy with the higher-ups who surrendered.
Xiao Mo understood Lu Li's sinister intentions, so he immediately stopped Lu Li from continuing.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Mo? Why are you in the Eternal Kingdom team? Don't tell me The Capital of Glory has been bought by someone else?" Lu Li laughed mockingly.
"I hope you're not relying on your mouth to defend this Stronghold today," Xiao Mo snorted coldly, then pointed his Magic Staff at Lu Li and shouted, "Attack!"
The Chariots roared and immediately covered the area with cannonballs. Lu Li immediately flashed behind Weilan Haifeng's large shield. Then, he heard Weilan Haifeng cry out in distress. His shield could indeed block a lot of damage, but the most direct consequence was a rapid decrease in durability.
Other players brought a lot of spare equipment to attack the Stronghold, but Weilan Haifeng brought more than a dozen shields. Many of the shields of Ruling Sword's Defensive Warriors were borrowed by him.
"Looks like they still sent a lot of people to attack Grey Valley. They really want to eat both Strongholds. Aren't they afraid of choking to death?" Lu Li sneered as he organized the players on this side to counterattack. Even though the number of Chariots had been reduced by half, the players below still had to fight with their lives.
"There won't be any problems with Wander," Weilan Haifeng had more confidence in Wander than anyone else.
"Blood Dagger isn't here, and White Westhill isn't here either. It looks like Xiao Mo is very depressed now," Lu Li gloated.
He also didn't want to think about it. If it wasn't for Wander's reminder, they would have used their worst lineup to fight against the enemies of the Black Sea Coast. It was estimated that under Xiao Mo's hands, they wouldn't even be able to last ten minutes.
At that time, it would be him who would be depressed.
Xiao Mo really couldn't take down the Black Sea Coast. Although he tried very hard to break down the walls, he didn't lead the strongest lineup of The Capital of Glory. They simply couldn't beat the people around Lu Li. In addition, their morale was low, so the more they fought, the less powerful they became.
Lu Li's words at the beginning had a very serious impact on the players of Eternal Kingdom.
They didn't know why Xiao Mo would bring a group of people to their team. The higher-ups only said that they had hired external help. Even if Xiao Mo denied the purchase, the seeds of suspicion had already been planted by Lu Li. It couldn't be dispelled with just a few words.
Also, the defense of the Black Sea Coast was beyond imagination, which further increased the difficulty of Xiao Mo's attack.
The Black Sea Coast Stronghold was successfully defended, and the Grey Valley Stronghold was still standing under the protection of Wander and Sky Moon. White Westhill didn't see Lu Li, but saw many faces of Peerless City and Grand Hegemony, so she could already predict the outcome of the Black Sea Coast Stronghold.
