Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Gambling Duel (Repayment 03)
“Romeo, are you joking around?” Edward sneered: “You scumbags, resorting to such despicable means to compete, you’ve crossed every guild’s bottom line.”
Romeo laughed: “Edward, you are mistaken, how is this unfair competition? This dungeon is just behind us, but don’t forget that we fought our way through.”
“If that’s the case, move aside then.” Edward said indifferently.
Romeo laughed heartily, pointing at Edward: “You’re hilarious, don’t you understand? We took over the entrance to this dungeon. We lost many brothers in the process. You can’t just order us to move aside, it’s too domineering.”
“Ridiculous, before such a large audience, you still want to distort the truth? Your guilds, for the sake of this first kill, used a despicable trick to attack during a sudden event and blocked other guilds from participating. Even if you get the first kill, it’s a farce to suggest that you are truly the strongest.”
“As long as we get the first kill, we are the victors. The official record will show it and the dungeon leaderboard will forever record this first kill. We are the victors, losers will be forgotten. Hahaha.” Romeo laughed boisterously.
“Such shameless actions, you don’t deserve to be in the competitive scene.” Disgust flickered in Edward’s eyes.
“Whether we belong or not is not for you to decide, even if you are the top guild. Without access to the dungeon, what can you do?” Romeo looked around at the swelling crowd and pointed at Li Yao: “Oh if it isn’t the Hunter King, I’ve heard you’re a hot contender for the first kill, why are you wasting your time here?”
Li Yao sneered dismissively, not bothering to entertain such a fool.
Li Jie spoke out: “You reprobates, shamelessly losing face in front of such a large audience, regardless if we get the first kill, you guys will inevitably become enemies with all of us.”
Li Jie was trying to shift the conflict. Starfire was constantly being targeted by many guilds, now with the emergence of some kind of alliance organization, it’ll draw the wariness of the larger guilds. This meant they couldn’t concentrate all their efforts on tackling Starfire. Thus, she stirred the waters, positioning the alliance as an irreconcilable adversary of the organization and the guilds.
“So what? As long as our guilds’ reputation rises, and we gain fame, more people will want to join our Devil Alliance, and we’ll naturally grow stronger.” Romeo spoke coolly: “You should know, our Devil Alliance is united in life and death. Your plan to divide and destroy us is probably impossible. Also, we guilds have formed a powerful team to clear this dungeon, our experts are no less than those in your top guilds. This battle’s outcome doesn’t affect us whether we succeed or fail, the first kill has nothing to do with you.”
“I just don’t believe it.” Edward sneered: “As Chairman Li said, from this day onwards, your guilds will indeed become our lifelong enemies.”
“Since we dared to do this, we aren’t afraid of your revenge.” Romeo casually dismissed. From their perspective, the unity within the Devil Alliance enables them to confront the scattered enemy alliance.
“Let’s fight then, let’s see what power you have to dare to confront all the players.” A hint of anger flickered in Edward’s eyes.
“Wait.” Romeo stopped Edward.
Edward turned his head, revealing a chilly smile, “What, are you scared now?”
“Nonsense, what are we scared of.” Romeo clapped his hands, the formation behind him opened, several dozen players slowly advanced: “These are our dungeon clearing elites, just came out of the dungeon. I heard that your top guilds have a lot of experts, so they want to compete, wonder if you dare?”
“This is not a matter of daring or not, but there’s simply no need. When our army advances, you’ll only be left with a pile of bones, why would we waste time competing with you?” Edward vetoed his suggestion.
“Of course, it’s not a regular competition. Let’s be frank, even if you can beat us, your guilds will surely suffer heavy losses. Why not, we decide the winner by competition, setting a common rule, if your experts beat our experts, we’ll let you pass, how about it?” Romeo suggested slowly.
Romeo’s words resonated with many people who thought the rules are acceptable because, from their perspective, their side holds an advantage when it comes to top-tier players.
This Devil Alliance, not even a top-tier guild, sure it has experts, but they are limited.
Edward frowns slightly, their alliance is too scattered, just as the other party said, despite their larger numbers, they don’t have a decisive advantage, especially in this valley.
Now it’s clear that many guilds are already tempted, if he forcefully orders an attack, it definitely won’t work.
“They can’t be trusted.” Edward stated in the created chairman channel.
“I think it’s feasible, after all, in front of so many spectators, they can’t renege, can they?”
“I also think it’s feasible, if a real war breaks out, not to mention the loss, who knows how long the battle will last, if it continues to be delayed, their dungeon clearing team will continue on, we’ll have no chance at all.”
“We have so many experts on our side, we’ll surely win, why not try it.”
Li Yao stated: “They proposed this duel, I think there are two possibilities, one is to delay time, and the other is that they are confident of victory.”
“Chairman Liaoyuan, you’re overthinking.”
“Are you kidding me, they are confident of victory, don’t joke.”
“Even if they are delaying time, how much can they delay? Even if they go back on their words, we can still fight our way over, but if they keep their promise, we can start the dungeon unscathed, why not do it?”
The majority of the chairmen supported these words, Li Yao shrugged and didn’t speak. He had thought of a possibility, the level 20 equipment boosts were huge, especially the main dungeon equipment output. Under non-crushing conditions, equipment can make up for deficiencies.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Edward’s eyes. Although he was voted as the leader, he couldn’t make everyone follow him. Ultimately, they decided to compete with the other side.
“We’ll send forty people, you send forty people, compete in pairs, whichever side’s players lose first, that side loses.” Romeo clapped his hands and said: “To not let you think we’re delaying, let’s get started. Robin Han, you’re up first.”
A massive Tauren showing pristine white teeth, slowly stepped forward…
