Chapter 476: 476
The defeat was a crippling blow to the Devil Alliance. Being masters themselves, they naturally understood the significance of such a large magic scroll to a guild.
Upon hearing Li Yao’s words, they had a ridiculous feeling. Not only was Li Yao’s remark infuriating, but it also made them feel they had hit rock bottom in terms of luck.
Furthermore, they simply could not resist Starfire’s charge, making the players from the Devil Alliance lose the will to fight again.
There were about one hundred players left in the Starfire guild, but the Devil Alliance only had less than five hundred remaining.
Though numerically, the players from the Devil Alliance still outnumbered Starfire manifold, they had already lost their sense of direction.
The outer layer of melee fighters from Devil’s Alliance were the best they had to offer. However, they still faced the fate of being massacred. Despite their numerical superiority, the failure of the magic scroll’s counter-attack had completely drained them of their spirit and fighting will.
“The Devil Alliance has lost.” Serena sighed.
Joanna nodded, “Indeed, there seems to be no suspense left. I didn’t expect Starfire to actually win.”
“Unless the Devil Alliance has a trump card up its sleeve, it’s going to be tough.” Serena inherently took Devil alliance’s side, but she also knew that personal will and circumstances do not always align.
“With such a glorious record, Starfire has really set the prairie on fire this time.” Joanna smiled. After all, Starfire Guild is now purely a Chinese guild.
She naturally hoped to see someone as dazzling as Li Yao, a trendsetter, emerge from the Chinese esports circle.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken Starfire Guild’s side earlier. At the same time, she harbored resentment and loathing for China’s internal vicious competition.
However, with the likes of Illusion God and others withdrawing from the professional circuit, many people fear that China will eventually fall back into darkness. Prairie Fire’s emergence, however, gave many a glimmer of hope – the hope of China’s esports rise again on the global stage.
Romeo watched as the Starfire guild rampaged through their lines, which were already in disarray. He saw that the Devil Alliance’s players had completely lost their fighting spirits.
He forced himself to calm down. Speaking loudly, he said, “Don’t forget our goal. We’ve been hiding for so long to eventually become the world’s biggest competitive organization, surpass all guilds and clubs and become the strongest in the world.”
Romeo’s words seemed to ignite a flame in many of the Devil Alliance players’ eyes.
“But look at your current state. Even if we at Devil Alliance are to lose, we should lose graciously. Ask yourselves, with this kind of mentality, how can you become the world’s best? Can you?”
“Failure is not to be feared. Neither is a powerful enemy. What’s terrifying is if we surrender ourselves. Brothers, let’s burn. Even if we all fall here, let’s do it with dignity. Starfire is indeed strong, but we want to let all know that the Devil Alliance can afford to lose. Rome vigorously claimed, “Win or lose; let’s fight to the death. We’re not completely out of chance.”
“Damn it, I almost had my judgement clouded by Starfire. The boss is right; I was muddled. Brothers, win or lose, let’s fight!”
“Right, let’s let go of our mental entanglements, do or die, regardless of success or failure. Fight!”
“Even if we don’t kill the opponent, we should wound Starfire’s sons of bitches, making them bleed. Kill them!”
“Brothers, killing one of Starfire’s members will break even, killing two we earn a profit. Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The entire valley echoed with the cries of the Devil Alliance players, as if they were the victors of the battle.
Adorable Pupil said, “Wow, this uncle is really good at coaxing. It feels like he is even better than my big brother.”
“Damn, what’s happening? They are acting as if we are the big villains. Isn’t it you guys who are trying to prevent us from entering the dungeon?” Li Yao was also shocked by the shameless spirit of the Devil Alliance.
“These bastards are as good at turning black into white as I was twenty years ago. Indeed, they can do it.” Guardian Angel’s body shimmered with a golden shield, blocking a lot of attacks. As he got damaged, the golden shield spread out, emitting a lot of golden electric arcs.
Fruit Knight remained indifferent, completely ignoring the madness of the Devil Alliance.
“Devil Alliance has proven to be a respectable opponent after all. Despite their methods, they have managed to fight this far, which is commendable.” Feng Yi said earnestly.
Sister Li nodded and said, “In practice, our strength doesn’t differ much from theirs. The scales are evenly balanced, making us strong. But it’s unfortunate that we have our Guild Leader, who is an absolute freak.”
All members of Starfire unanimously nodded. They continued to fight while observing the swift movements of Li Yao, who was shooting arrows, killing those who sought to obstruct them.
They could feel that the players from Devil Alliance were not weak; in fact, they were very strong. However, their Guild Leader, Li Yao, was even stronger and exceptional.
After all, under normal circumstances, if they were surrounded, they would definitely be killed. But with Li Yao, they consistently broke through the lines, massacring the enemy’s healers and ranged damage dealers, forcing the Devil Alliance into a disastrous defeat.
However, the berserk onslaught was not entirely futile; Starfire’s line also saw people dying continuously.
“Assassin squad, come out and clear up the mess.” Li Yao finally gave the order.
The assassin squad, which had long been eager to join the battlefield, immediately entered the fray.
Although the Devil Alliance was in its final frenzy, as long as Li Yao was there, they wouldn’t break through Starfire’s line. With the addition of the assassin squad, the situation was getting clearer.
However, the final combat escalated into a ghastly state. At the end, Starfire was left with less than forty people, and the Devil Alliance was down to fewer than three. Even with the hidden assassins of Starfire, they had fewer than sixty people left, which was extremely tragic.
“Why don’t you kill me?” Romeo asked coldly.
Li Yao stepped out of the formation and said lightly, “I’m giving you three a chance. You can choose any member from our old guard as an opponent. As long as you win, you can leave alive.”
Romeo revealed a bleak smile, “We calculated everything but didn’t account for you. Still, we, the Devil Alliance, have no complaints about the defeat. You are indeed strong, and I admit that. Although you can often be infuriating, you occasionally uphold honor. Unfortunately, after today, we are destined not to become friends.”
“Does being friends matter?” Li Yao shrugged.
“Yes, it doesn’t matter if we are friends.” Romeo looked directly at Li Yao and said slowly, “I appreciate you giving us a chance, wanting to save some face for me. However, I don’t need it. As the commander, all my brothers have died in battle. Regardless of whether I can defeat your opponent, even if I defeat them, I won’t leave alone. We fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Following Romeo’s words, the two players behind him also rushed towards Starfire’s lineup.
Li Yao shook his head slightly and said softly, “Kill.”
With Li Yao’s words, a large number of spells submerged the three of them…
