Lu Li was facing off against The Capital of Glory at the Grey Valley Stronghold. When he saw the enemy lineup, he let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that the enemy wasn't strong, but that they were too strong.
Almost half of them were professional players. Even Master Huang, the instructor of the youth training camp, who had been in a semi-retired state, had appeared. This meant that Glory Capital was indeed attacking the old Grey Valley Stronghold as he had expected.
Lu Li had studied Xiao Mo's plan very thoroughly.
If they took down the old Stronghold here and the new one there, then the whole of Grey Valley would belong to The Capital of Glory.
In fact, Sorrowless was quite beautiful — in his dreams.
Lu Li encouraged Grand Hegemony to attack the new Grey Valley Stronghold and gave him a golden finger. This golden finger wasn't a one-time use item. Since Grand Hegemony could use it, then Lu Li could also use it. He had also invited quite a few helpers.
Wood Fearing and Mowang Feng brought their club's professional players. They had helped Azure Guard take Stranglethorn Vale from The Capital of Glory last time. This time, The Capital of Glory's main target was Ruling Sword, so there was no need for Azure Guard to ask them for help at a high price.
Sea Breaker, Fallen Moral, Kitty, Lone Smoker Long and Despicable Young Master were all from Purple Lunar Paradise.
They had never had their own Stronghold. This time, when Lu Li invited them, they didn't think too much about it and agreed. After all, it would be good to learn from them.
Vincent, Twilight, Holy Spirit, Egg Cow, Hit Me 72 Times and Purple Sea of Heart were all from Stellar Union.
There weren't many large clubs in the Horde. Gale Legion was The Capital of Glory's little brother and Eternal Kingdom was now on their side. The only super clubs that could be considered as such were Stellar Union and Brotherhood. As for the once more glorious Peacetime Dynasty, Hot Twitch left Peacetime Dynasty, which was even more devastating than the Gangnam Royals losing their three star players. Now, they were no longer considered as a super club.
In short, these 20 or so foreign players instantly increased Ruling Sword's defensive strength by several levels. After all, most of the players were professional players, and there were even a few celebrity players.
It wasn't that Lu Li didn't want to invite more people, but this matter had to be kept secret. Contacting too many clubs would easily leak the news. Once The Capital of Glory found out, it would be difficult to achieve the desired results.
As a result, Lu Li only contacted a suitable club that wouldn't betray him, Mowang Feng and Wood Fearing. Stranglethorn Vale had helped Azure Guard steal the Pearl of Glory last time, so they had already offended them. Naturally, they couldn't run over to The Capital of Glory and work with them.
The Ziyue Cave Heaven and the Capital of Glory were old enemies. They had been fighting for decades, and it had been passed down from generation to generation.
As for Constellation, they had been suppressed by the Capital of Glory in the Horde. They could not wait for the Capital of Glory to stop developing. If they could cause trouble for the Capital of Glory, they were willing to do it even if they did not have to pay.
However, it was impossible not to pay. The cost of inviting these 20 or so people would be a huge sum of money.
However, what kind of person was Shameless Lu? Even though he had just made a large sum of money from the Shadow Cup, he still didn't want to pay. Not only did he not pay, but he also made a small profit from these four clubs.
As long as they could defend the Stronghold, Lu Li would allow these clubs or individuals to buy the shops in the Stronghold at a low price.
This kind of temptation was even more attractive than ordinary gold coins, especially for the clubs that didn't have a Stronghold. An estate in someone else's club was still an estate.
It could be said that Lu Li had effortlessly invited these 20 or so strong players. His shops were going to be sold anyway, so it wouldn't hurt if they were cheaper.
However, when Xiao Mo saw the people behind Lu Li, his expression wasn't so happy. Mowang Feng, Wood Fearing, and some of the people they had brought along, as well as Constellation and Ziyue Cave Heaven Club, gave him the illusion that he was surrounded by enemies.
Why were these people helping Lu Li?
However, he was not a fool. He knew a thing or two about the power and money transactions involved.
He was unhappy that their intelligence was too poor. Previously, Lu Li and the others had found out about the attributes of their equipment, but they hadn't noticed anything. This time, they had unknowingly allowed Lu Li to invite so many people to help.
However, Lu Li noticed that Xiao Mo's expression had quickly changed. He couldn't tell what expression it was, but it was definitely not an expression that he would only show when he saw Sister Maple. It would be useless even if Sister Maple went to Thailand now.
Following the other party's gaze, Lu Li realized that Xiao Mo was looking at Ye Se. He didn't expect that the decisive Xiao Mo was actually an infatuated person.
Xiao Mo was indeed looking at Ye Se. At the moment, Ye Se was wearing plate armor, and most of her face was covered by a mask. However, Xiao Mo could still see the girl that he yearned for in the crowd.
He didn't care when she was by his side, but when she was really away from him, he realized what he cared about the most.
They talked and laughed about imperial hegemony, and it was a drunken night.
Lu Li expressed his innocence. He had never thought of using Ye Se to provoke Xiao Mo. Everyone had their own bottom line, and Lu Li's bottom line … Well, his bottom line was simply a joke. He just hadn't thought of it.
However, as the club's top Healing Paladin, Ye Se certainly couldn't be absent from the fortress defense battle.
After the two sides evaluated each other, they officially began to fight.
The Capital of Glory had a strong army, while Ruling Sword had invited a lot of external help. In terms of overall strength, perhaps the Capital of Glory was a little stronger. However, this was a defensive battle, and the defending side had a natural advantage.
So, the battle fell into a stalemate right from the start.
Compared to a normal Stronghold battle between clubs, the casualties here were even more severe. Even Mowang Feng had died once.
"Lu Li, I dropped an equip. It's an Epic equip. You have to make up for my loss!" he yelled as he cast his skills. Perhaps it was because he was too annoying, but another wave of skills was cast towards him. He was so scared that he quickly used his Ice Block, which was why he wasn't instantly killed.
Lu Li didn't participate in the command of the Stronghold. The one in charge was Sky Moon.
He and Wood Fearing jumped to the bottom of the wall together. Their goal was to assassinate the healers of The Capital of Glory. Lu Li wasn't a stranger to two powerful Thieves working together. He and Water Fairy had worked together countless times, but this was the first time with Wood Fearing.
He had fought with Wood Fearing before, and admired his technique and perseverance. However, this was the first time he was fighting alongside him.
At this time, he could also deeply feel the improvement of this person. He was someone who had experienced rebirth, so he didn't have the process of adapting to the game like the others. Wood Fearing needed to slowly adapt to the operation of Dawnlight, so their improvement was very obvious.
At this time, facing Wood Fearing again, Lu Li really wasn't sure that he could kill his opponent.
The target of the two Thieves wasn't White Westhill – this Priest was just too difficult to kill. This was why Ruling Sword chose to kill Xiao Mo during the competition. The Priest that they had chosen didn't even have time to call for help before he turned into a white light.
An equip fell and was picked up by Wood Fearing, then thrown into his backpack.
This speed made Lu Li admire him even more. When it came to the speed of stealing equipment, he really hadn't admired anyone before.
