Before Wings of Dawn could fight Blood Red War Flag, the game released a new patch.
Black Temple!
It was said that in order to rule the entire Outland, the traitor Illidan built a huge Stronghold called the Black Temple for his army to be stationed in. This was once a Draenei castle.
After his most trusted confidant – Kael 'thas Sunstrider failed, Illidan's power began to weaken.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akama, the Great Sage of the Draenei, rose up to rebel against the so-called Outland Lords. With the help of Illidan's former Warden, the tenacious Night Elf Maiev Shadowsong and Akama, a group of warriors successfully infiltrated Illidan's throne of power and completely ended the traitor's rule.
The new patch involved a new Instance Dungeon, Zul 'Aman, the Black Temple and some other changes.
Paladins were further enhanced, the talent system was more complete, and there were new arena maps and so on.
Like the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the Black Shrine was a T6 Instance Dungeon, but Zul 'Aman was between T5 and T6 Instance Dungeons. Its purpose was to provide players with better equipment to explore the Black Shrine.
Therefore, as soon as this Instance Dungeon appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many clubs.
First Clear!
The difficult Instance Dungeon First Clear was taken by Ruling Sword. This easy Instance Dungeon, logically speaking, would depend on luck.
Lu Li's attitude towards the Zul 'Aman First Clear was unclear. He didn't even join the First Clear team because he felt that Ruling Sword had passed the stage where they needed to use First Clears to make a name for themselves.
As far as the current situation was concerned, one less First Clear or one more First Clear wouldn't have much impact on the club itself.
Unless it was an Instance Dungeon like the Battle of Mount Hyjal, where a team of 25 players would have a First Clear equivalent to ten more pieces of equipment or items. It was indeed worth fighting for.
Zul 'Aman was a ten-man Instance Dungeon, so the equipment obviously couldn't compare to a T6 Instance Dungeon. Only the Call of the Berserker was worth it.
Lu Li was busy with a lot of things at the moment, mainly focusing on the layout of the whole club.
The first was the issue of everyone's treatment. He had to raise the treatment of the elite group. Ruling Sword wasn't very rich, but at least they were out of poverty.
Relying on sentiment alone couldn't sustain the long-term development of the club.
Strongholds were very profitable, especially after Sky Moon sold them a few times. Not only did he quickly become a multi-millionaire, but he also brought huge profits to the club.
With two to three hundred million yuan available in his account, Lu Li began to stir up the elite group again.
He and Father Cat came up with new rules and regulations.
Elite team members who did not have enough Contribution Points would be expelled from the elite team unless they had a special reason or made a special contribution. A rising guild needed fierce competition to develop quickly.
Those who were expelled would basically leave the guild. After all, most people would not accept such an "insult."
Moreover, it was hard to say what these people would do in the future. Who knew if they would become gods in the gaming circle one day? It was very likely that they would be interviewed about how Ruling Sword and Lu Li had looked down on them.
This was not enough to stop Lu Li from carrying out the reform.
Ordinary guild members, as long as their Contribution Points reached a certain level, could temporarily enter the elite group and begin their own elite trial period. The trial period was one month, and whether or not they could stay depended entirely on their own ability.
The elite group was once again expanded. Lu Li would maintain 15 elite groups in Ruling Sword, and Judgement Spear would try to add as many as possible to five elite groups.
20 elite groups, 2000 people. In reality, this was already considered a very large enterprise.
Lu Li would do his best to ensure that the average income of these people was around $10,000 per month. The minimum was over $6000, and the maximum was tens of thousands.
Every month, they had to spend 20 million. If it was an ordinary club, it was very likely that they would collapse immediately.
However, the more they spent, the more they earned. Now, Ruling Sword didn't need Lu Li to put money into it. Just the income from the Stronghold was enough to cover this part. Moreover, running the club wasn't just a small amount of income.
While they were managing the club, it only took an hour and a half for Seventh Heaven to get the First Clear of Zul 'Aman.
At this time, Sky Moon was still fighting to the death with the last Boss. However, their speed wasn't slow either. Seven minutes after Seventh Heaven got the First Clear, they finished off the last Boss.
The next day was Monday, and a new Stronghold war began.
A new map was released, and one of them was the second Stronghold in the Black Sea Coast. This Stronghold was a place that Ruling Sword had to fight for. Anyone who dared to touch it would become Ruling Sword's mortal enemy. After all, no one wanted to have a neighbor in their backyard.
Of course, if it was Drizzle Court that was stationed there, Lu Li wouldn't have any objections.
Drizzle Court became a strong force in this Stronghold war.
Because Water Fairy had become a Baroness, their two Strongholds were impregnable. Therefore, they had the power to begin seeking more Stronghold forces.
Another club that made gamblers very excited was The Capital of Glory.
No matter how much Wendelian calmed the morale of the players, the morale of The Capital of Glory was in chaos to a certain extent. They almost lost to Drizzle Court in the quarter-finals, which made everyone feel that this club was in danger.
There weren't many people who could see through everything like Wander. Even if The Capital of Glory made a comeback in the end, there were still many analysts who came up with all sorts of wrong conclusions.
As such, how many Strongholds The Capital of Glory would lose became a question that gamblers paid attention to.
Ruling Sword didn't care about others. They had to defend their own two Strongholds in Grey Valley – one of which was occupied by the Life Alliance. They had to defend the first Stronghold in the Black Sea Coast, fight with other clubs for the second Stronghold in the Black Sea Coast, and help Judgment Spear stabilize the Winterspring Stronghold.
Last time, Ruling Sword sent out all their experts to help Judgment Spear occupy Winterspring. It was easy to occupy, but difficult to defend. Judgment Spear's lack of strength made defending a problem as well.
Before the Stronghold battle began, everyone had a special discussion about Winterspring Stronghold. In fact, Wander advocated selling Winterspring Stronghold. After all, there were too many Strongholds related to Ruling Sword, and Judgment Spear's strength alone wasn't enough to truly defend Winterspring.
Unfortunately, all of Judgment Spear was firmly against Wander's decision. At this time, Wander was still the president of Judgment Spear.
Since no one was willing to give up, then they could only do their best to defend. At the moment, their biggest reliance was still on the Fel Reavers.
Originally, Ruling Sword had 11 Fel Reavers, but now there were only nine left.
As the average player reached level 70, their equipment was getting better and better. The Fel Reavers no longer had a crushing advantage over the players. If the person operating the Fel Reavers didn't control it well, it could easily lead to the Fel Reavers being destroyed.
Lu Li allocated two Fel Reavers to Judgment Spear and asked them to defend the Stronghold themselves. Wander was responsible for commanding. If they could defend, then they would defend. If they couldn't, then they didn't need them.
Three were given to the Life Alliance, and they also supported some of the combat professionals to ensure that this second Stronghold in Grey Valley was absolutely safe.
Of the remaining four, two were to help defend the first Stronghold in Grey Valley, and two were to help defend the first Stronghold in the Black Sea Coast.
