Unsworn Sword immediately ordered the team to slow down. Then, he gathered a bunch of leaders and told them about this important discovery.
"Indiscriminate competition for mercenary missions …" All of the mercenary leaders muttered to themselves. In fact, most of them had never experienced this kind of mission before. When they mentioned it, they actually felt a bit envious.
"But, we can't be sure!" Gu Xiaoshang said, "Maybe they're a guild, just not wearing a badge."
"Xiaoshang, you're thinking the same thing as me again." Unsworn Sword said emotionally.
"Don't speak nonsense again!" Gu Xiaoshang said angrily.
"The current situation is like this." Han Family Young Master said disapprovingly, "We can already confirm that the opponent is part of a two-way mission. If it's a single mercenary group, the threat can be ignored. If it's a guild, then we've already identified four people, and they're all around level 32. May I ask which guild would accept players that are just over level 30? "
Everyone listened and nodded in agreement. Take Unhindered for example. For a guild like theirs that had already reached level 5, their average level had already stepped into the realm of level 40. Guilds that were slightly weaker than them would at most have a few level 37 or 38 players. In their eyes, a level 30 player was basically a beginner noob. Big guilds simply wouldn't accept such a low level player.
"What the Han brothers mean is, regardless of whether the opponent is a single mercenary group or a guild, we can be sure that the opponent is not a threat to us. So, what we need to worry about is the situation of indiscriminate competition for mercenary missions?" Unsworn Sword said.
Han Family Young Master nodded.
"If that's the case, then those few people just now are just stragglers. The real threat hasn't even arrived yet." Unsworn Sword said.
"If it's an indiscriminate competition for mercenary missions, then we need to understand which of the stronger mercenary groups are here. Guild leader Unsworn, you guys must have done this kind of homework, right? "Han Family Young Master said.
"Of course we have." Unsworn Sword said with a serious expression, "Speaking of mercenary groups, there is a very famous one in Sunset City called the Hundred Battles Mercenary Group. The leader is one of the Five Roaches, Hundred Battles Mercenary Group. In Sunset City, the status of the Hundred Battles Mercenary Corps was even higher than that of their strongest guild, Fallen Leaves Roots. This is unimaginable in any Main City. "
"He's that strong …" Everyone was shocked. One had to know that guilds and mercenary groups were completely different in terms of numbers. For a mercenary group to be able to suppress the strongest guild, didn't that mean that each member of the mercenary group had the strength to fight against multiple guilds? More importantly, everyone believed that the strength of the strongest mercenary corps in each main city should be about the same. The Hundred Battles Mercenary Corps could suppress the strongest mercenary corps in Sunset City, and perhaps even surpass the current Unhindered Four Seas.
Unsworn Sword continued to describe his understanding of this mercenary group. "From the outside, the biggest feature of this mercenary group is that Grandmasters of Combat make up a large portion of the group."
"Many Grandmasters of Combat …" The people who heard this information were a little stunned.
During the open beta period, the Grandmaster of Combat was the weakest class in the parallel world. Although the situation had changed after the official launch, the newcomers had yet to reach the top of the game. Therefore, among the high-level players, the Grandmaster of Combat was the least. This also led to a considerable number of players having very little experience fighting Grandmasters of Combat. Some people had not even PKed with a Grandmaster of Combat until now.
"It can't be a coincidence that they have so many Grandmasters of Combat. Is there something strange about this mercenary group?" Luoluo asked.
"Uh, according to rumors, this mercenary group is very good at fighting. Some say they are a gang of gangsters, some say they are a group of martial arts dojos, and some say they are retired soldiers …" Unsworn Sword's understanding of this information was exactly the same as Jiannan's.
Everyone looked at each other. How should they deal with such an opponent? No one had any idea.
Just as they were helpless, the players in front of the team sent a message: Someone is blocking the way.
"Protect Tod!" Unsworn Sword hurriedly shouted, then took the lead and ran to the front of the team. As he ran, he made arrangements: how the Arrow Formation should advance with Silent Steps, how the Thieves should circle around, how the Priests should position themselves, how the Mages and Warriors should coordinate, and which direction the mercenary group was in charge of. Unsworn Sword gave a series of orders in one breath, but the more he moved forward, the more surprised his companions who received the orders looked at him.
Finally, Unsworn Sword came to the front of the team. With a glance at the legendary 'roadblock', he immediately understood why his brothers were so surprised.
Five people! There were only five players blocking the way in the middle of the road, stopping the team of players from Above the Clouds. Facing five people, Unsworn Sword made such a grand arrangement, it was no wonder that his brothers were surprised.
Reigning the Four Seas' Arrow Formation was already ready. Seeing that their guild master had also squeezed to the front, they immediately sent a message asking, "Guild master, do we attack now?"
Unsworn Sword glanced at the five people. Four Grandmasters of Combat and one Warrior, he had already guessed their origins. In that case, his judgment of 'competing for mercenary missions without discrimination' was not wrong at all.
"Wait for my order." After Unsworn Sword spoke to the Archers of Arrow Formation, he stepped forward and looked at the five people.
These five people looked calm. Unsworn Sword did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he just felt that these five people seemed to be very imposing just by standing there casually.
Unsworn Sword finally spoke, "You five must be members of Sunset City's Hundred Battles Mercenary Group?"
"I didn't expect guests from outside the city to be able to recognize us at a glance," one of the five said without batting an eyelid.
"What advice do you have?" This was a question that he already knew the answer to.
"Mission." This was a simple answer to the other party's words.
"Just the five of you?" Unsworn Sword looked around cautiously. He felt that there must be some kind of ambush around them. No matter how strong they were, five people could take care of hundreds of them.
"We wouldn't dare." The other party replied, "The five of us are here to say hello. At the same time, we can also show you our skills so that you can be mentally prepared."
"Oh?" Unsworn Sword frowned. "How do you want to see?"
"It's very simple. You can randomly pick a few people to spar with us brothers." The other party said.
"So what if we win? So what if we lose? "Unsworn Sword said.
"The main thing is to let you know our strength first. As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter. Because how can you win?" The other party's words were very arrogant, but there was not a trace of arrogance in his tone and demeanor.
"Let me try!" Feng Xing could no longer hold back and jumped out from the team. Unsworn Sword wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Feng Xing rushed towards the other party with big steps. Unsworn Sword thought it was fine. He would take this opportunity to see what the other party's legendary "fighting skills" were all about.
Feng Xing seemed to be rushing fiercely, but in fact, he did not use his full strength. He intended to suddenly accelerate after getting close to the opponent, catching them off guard. The target he wanted to attack was the second person from the left of the five, the one who had been talking the whole time.
Seeing Feng Xing rushing up, the others thought that the other party had five people, and Feng Xing would inevitably be at a disadvantage if he went alone. Therefore, without waiting for Unsworn Sword's order, some players who were close to Feng Xing jumped out and prepared to help.
However, although the other party had five people, only one person made a move, and that was the one Feng Xing wanted to attack.
Before Feng Xing reached him, he had already taken the initiative to attack. He also flashed out with big steps, and his speed was no slower than Feng Xing's.
"Hey!!" Seeing that the distance between the two of them was not far, Feng Xing abruptly took two steps forward, and then launched a "Galloping Horse Shooting Star". Seeing this, the other party's expression changed slightly. He immediately steadied his feet and twisted his body.
After galloping out, although the general direction could not be changed, the direction of his fist could still be controlled. Feng Xing hurriedly crossed his arm, trying to hit the other party when he passed by him.
However, this move seemed to have been predicted by the other party. Before Feng Xing's arm reached him, the other party had already lowered his body and swept his leg.
Feng Xing's arm didn't hit the person, but his leg was swept by the other party's leg. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Feng Xing's Galloping Horse Shooting Star hadn't finished yet, but it was interrupted by the other party's leg sweep. This meant that the other party's attack had higher priority than Galloping Horse Shooting Star. This was just a normal attack. This Grandmaster of Combat in front of him actually added strength?
Not many people played the Grandmaster of Combat, so there were few arguments about adding points to the class. Most people agreed on adding agility and spirit. For any class, the strength was reflected in the skills. No one would use normal attacks to conquer the world, and the damage output of Grandmasters of Combat's skills was not outstanding. Although adding points to strength could increase the damage, the biggest advantage of the Grandmaster of Combat was the short cooldown time of the skills. The general rule of online games was that the more outstanding the characteristics of one's class was, the more powerful it would be. Countless people researched this, and according to the system's introduction, finally came up with the Grandmaster of Combat combo.
This method could make up for the lack of damage output, and more importantly, it was very cool, so it was immediately loved by the public. Since then, everyone had focused on spirit, and agility was, of course, an essential element for creating a combo. Therefore, there was no dispute about adding points to these two.
However, today, Feng Xing, who was also a famous Grandmaster of Combat on the ranking list, encountered a non-mainstream method of adding points. Before he could criticize the other party's mistake, he staggered. The other party had already seized the opportunity, bounced up, and kicked Feng Xing right in the middle of his back. Feng Xing, who was already unstable, immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string.
"Feng Xing!!" The players who rushed out of the crowd to help didn't expect Feng Xing to be kicked away so easily. They hurriedly wielded their weapons and came to his rescue.
