After climbing out of the river, the Cloud Players went in their designated directions. At this time, Reigning the Four Seas and the various mercenary groups had a total of about 700 people, which was less than half of what they had when they set out from Cloud City. They were now divided into four teams of nearly 200 people, and once they exited the river valley, they went in four different directions.
Of course, they didn't go in four different directions like north, south, east, and west. It was just that there was a clear boundary between each team, so it was impossible to surround them all at once. The opponents had to split into four groups to stop them.
Following Unsworn Sword's orders, everyone looked around vigilantly after climbing out of the river valley. This was especially so for the Sharpshooters, who had been observing the situation on the map before this. They finally discovered a variable.
In the short period of time that they descended into the river valley, many of the players that were originally scattered all over the map suddenly evolved into creatures that gathered in groups. Moreover, their goal was very clear as they charged towards the river valley. But not long after, the Cloud City players had already climbed out of the river valley and split into four groups. The opposing team suddenly looked like they were at a loss.
The Cloud City players completely ignored them and went their own ways according to the established guidelines. Moreover, in a situation where the enemy's movements were basically clear, they naturally had to avoid them as much as possible. The longer they dragged, the better. Todd's safety was above everything else. As long as Todd reached the dungeon safely, everything would be over! The guidelines for this battle couldn't be any clearer.
After all, the Mercenary Alliance was a team that had been put together temporarily. It was a joke to say that they had tacit understanding. When faced with a situation where they needed to rearrange their plans, even the most decisive of decisions would take some time. Seeing that the four teams of Cloud City had already spread out, they still didn't make their move.
Seeing this, Kennan shook his head. "Look at them. Don't tell me they don't even have a single leader?"
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, the other players finally moved. Just as Han Family Young Master had predicted, they could only helplessly split into four groups and intercept the four teams of Cloud City players. It was a chaotic situation, and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
"At least they didn't react too slowly." Kennan let out a long sigh.
"Why do you look so concerned?" the priest asked him.
"The number of players coming out of Cloud City doesn't seem to have decreased, which means that the number of players left in the river is quite small. The fewer they are, the more elite they are. Do you know who the elites are in this group of people? "Jian Nan said.
"Who else could it be other than that Video Mage?" someone asked.
"Smoker, drunkard! Yutian Shenming! Unscathed In Battle! Brother You! "Jian Nan paused after each name, his expression solemn.
His companions' jaws dropped when they heard these names.
"It can't be!" One person shouted, "These individual masters are all in Cloud City?"
"That's right. Moreover, when I came to Water City, I met them." Jian Nan You said.
"Oh, the group of people you said your friend brought you to meet?"
"En, Brother You is my friend." Jian Nan You said.
"These people's names are indeed famous in the online gaming world, but this is a brand new game mode. In the end, we still have to see the real deal. They are so arrogant, why don't they have the names of the Five Roaches of the parallel world? So, we might not necessarily be their match. " The Thief in Jian Nan You's group of seven was actually a tall and sturdy man. At this moment, he spoke with a heroic expression.
Jian Nan You smiled and said, "It is indeed hard to say who is strong and who is weak. However, we only have one goal, and that is to avoid conflict with these experts. The lowest price for the greatest return, this is business! "
"Then what do you plan to do?" the Thief asked.
"I hope that Sunset City also has experts who can see through their plans. After that, let Sunset City's people first clash with them, and we will keep an eye on them from afar. Even if they can take care of all the experts in Sunset City, they will definitely consume a lot of energy. We will take advantage of this time to make our move … "Jian Nan You's words ended here.
"Sure enough, it is your usual style." The other six companions had obviously worked with Jian Nan You for a long time. After hearing his plan, they could only sigh in admiration.
Although the seven of them had been chatting, their feet had not stopped. However, they did not jump into the river valley. Instead, they had been walking on the riverbank, looking at the situation on the map and paying attention to whether they had already approached the people in the river valley.
On the map, both sides were divided into four teams and eight groups of people. After playing hide and seek for a while, two teams were about to make contact.
This contact was necessary. Don't forget that Cloud's mission was to escort Todd into the city. If they kept dodging outside the city, it would be too obvious that they were trying to stall for time. Therefore, after their attempt to circle around the city failed, they would have to charge into the city.
The first wave of contact with the enemy was the team led by Gu Xiao Shang. Gu Xiao Shang was not only the leader of a mercenary group, but also the guild leader of a guild. He was also the target of Unsworn Sword, so it was not difficult to understand why he was entrusted with such an important task. This girl was also very familiar with commanding teams. She did not panic at all in front of the enemy, and continued to give out orders.
Cloud Peak's group was originally a mixed army, but they had been drifting in the outer city for the past few days. They traveled together, experienced battles together, and when they had nothing to do, they would drink a little wine under the moonlight to communicate. Compared to the other mixed armies, they were still a little more standardized.
In particular, they had become used to listening to orders. Regardless of whether or not they agreed with Gu Xiao Shang's orders, they would at least follow them. Just this point alone was better than the mixed army in front of them.
The people in front of him were no less than the people on Cloud's side. Their team was also orderly, but this reason could be seen at a glance. Why were they organized? Because they were not familiar with each other, everyone stood at a distance. Now that a group battle was about to break out, they did not even have a commander. They were completely free to act. The moment the two sides clashed, the difference in strength was obvious. The Sunset Sun players were completely defeated, and two rows of people fell.
Only then did the other side feel that the other side was not a pushover. Therefore, someone volunteered to jump out and take command. It had to be said that players generally worked together with mercenary guilds. Very few played only one of them, so the people in the mercenary group also had the experience of fighting in a large group like a guild. Now that there was a unified command, it was not as ugly as it was at the beginning. After all, to be able to form an alliance to do such a big mission, they were all high-end players in Sunset City. They were not necessarily worse than Cloud City. For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
On the other hand, Cloud City's side seemed to be charging fiercely, but deep down, they prioritized survival. Seeing that the other side had stabilized and stood firm, they immediately went on the defensive. The Sunset City players suddenly felt that they were still the best. Once they showed their might, the other side seemed to immediately have no strength to fight back. Their fighting spirit was high, and the sound of killing could be heard incessantly.
There were also shouts like "Hand over the gun and we will not kill you." Of course, the content was "Hand over Todd and we will spare your lives."
The purpose of Cloud City's side was to hide Todd's location, so they could not let the other side know that Todd was not in the formation. The best way was of course to make the other side uncertain, so after the other side shouted this, Gu Xiaoshang immediately replied, "Ask the sword in my hand if it agrees."
After shouting, he waved his arm and flung the cloak on his back. The cloak that flew out covered one person on the spot, and Gu Xiaoshang took the opportunity to kill him with two slashes.
"Wah wah wah! This woman is so despicable!! "The opponent roared, and the battle between the two sides became white-hot.
Different personalities of the leaders determined the temperament of the entire team in battle. This was very true.
Gu Xiaoshang's team fought as soon as they met, just like the girl's character. On the other side, the team led by the black index finger was indecisive after meeting the enemy.
"Please, brothers. What can I do for you? "The black index finger smiled and greeted the enemy who rushed over.
As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. Seeing the black index finger's action, the other party did not have the nerve to slash at it with his saber. He quickly stopped in his tracks and greeted it as if it was a normal two-way quest. "Excuse me, this is a two-way quest."
"Oh, what is the mission about?"
"To assassinate Todd!" The other side was quite honest.
"Todd is not in our team!" The black index finger was even more honest than the other side.
The other side heard the truth, but only smiled slightly. "Is that so? Can you let us see?"
"Haha, he really isn't here. Brother, you don't believe me!" The black index finger laughed. What was fake was real, and what was real was fake. The black index finger in the art of war was quite ingenious. Making the other side deeply suspect that Todd was in their team was the mission that the Sword of Unsworn had given them. Then, they dilly-dallied and chatted with the other side for a while. This was the method that the black index finger used to stall for time. This guy was quite crafty after all.
The other two teams naturally had their own ways to complete their own responsibilities and missions. Meanwhile, in the river, the Han Family Young Master and his team finally met their opponents.
The other side's murderous intent was obvious. When Brother You and the others saw that the Han Family Young Master's plan was seen through, they were naturally shocked. However, there were not many opponents blocking their way, which was a pleasant surprise.
"There are not many people. We can deal with them." Yutian Shenming did not bother to hide his words and completely ignored the other side.
"That's for sure!" The Han Family Young Master actually continued Yutian Shenming's words. "It's rare for such an opportunity to appear. If it were me, I would definitely not tell my allies after seeing through the other side's strategy. We would also pretend that we don't know anything and secretly bring a few of our brothers to this river valley to make a fortune. How great would that be! Isn't that right, Leader? "
