Chapter 569: 569
Crazy Battle Rage’s face changed, for an hour ago he had indeed received a message from those guilds, warning about an inexplicable attack on their camp, and advising his guard to be raised.
But Crazy Battle Rage had just arrived here, contemplating how to destroy the Starfire Guild’s base and complete this mission.
He thought then, ‘what does it matter to us if you are attacked by monsters? You are responsible for restricting the growth of Starfire Guild, while we are here to attack them. Are we expected to return and help you fend off the monsters? What a joke! Our commission is separate; whether you accomplish your mission or not is none of our concern.’
Next, he was angered by the shameless tactics of Li Yao and his team, so he was busy trying to break through the swamp and didn’t manage this matter.
“What do you mean exactly?” A sense of foreboding rose in Crazy Battle Rage’s mind as he thought it over.
Li Yao laughed, “Can’t you figure it out now? Or are you just afraid to think about it? You’re still too green. Haven’t you seen that our guild has two flags erected?”
Crazy Battle Rage looked at the two flags in confusion. One was the Starfire Guild flag, and the other seemed somewhat familiar.
The color of Think Tank’s face changed instantly, “Damn it, I’m afraid we’ve been made pawns.”
Crazy Battle Rage’s eyelids started to twitch, and he asked, “What’s going on?”
Think Tank said, “We overlooked it. This is the Undead Battle Flag.”
“What’s wrong with the Undead Battle Flag?” Mu Zi asked in confusion. Actually, it was their fault for not knowing; they were merely a mercenary-like guild, and in their view, having a main city base was enough, there was no need to waste money building a base.
After all, establishing a base is very costly, and it requires a lot of money, manpower, and energy. If there is a mercenary mission that requires the entire guild to go out, who will manage the guild base? Naturally, their guild was already level four, but it still didn’t have a base.
Crazy Battle Rage anxiously said, “Only a fully established guild base will raise this city’s flag, which signifies sovereignty.”
The other guild leaders finally understood. After declaring sovereignty, it was time for the so-called monster siege. Thinking about what Li Yao had said, their faces turned sour.
They were all shrewd people and naturally thought that the surrounding area of Starfire was desolate due to other guild bases, and the monsters were almost extinct.
But what about the more remote areas? They came here cautiously along the way, why? Wasn’t it because the monsters in the outskirts had high levels, especially those coming from the south, where they even saw a zone populated by level thirty monsters.
“You want to use us as your pawns and shields, what a ridiculous dream,” Crazy Battle Rage couldn’t hold back anymore, shouting in his heart.
Now there are two options, surrender and retreat or fight Starfire to the death. But whichever option, he felt a sense of foreboding, which was the main reason he didn’t immediately order an attack.
Although they were hired, they valued their levels more. They didn’t raid dungeons, so they had a lot of experience and nobody wanted to die.
“At worst, we’ll all perish together. You want us to help you fend off the monsters, it’s a pipe dream,” Crazy Little Bee said aloud.
“Sorry, I’m afraid you don’t have that opportunity.” With Li Yao’s smile, many player from Starfire appeared, throwing the scrolls in their hands directly.
“Damn, despicable.”
“Shameless.”
Although they did not know what type of scroll they were using, they didn’t need to think to know. It must be the Swamp Scroll.
They had time to counteract this scroll, but who knew how many of these scrolls Starfire had.
Li Yao kept a smile on his face, but he was also uncertain. The current players still don’t understand many mechanisms. For example, the Swamp Scroll can be released at the same location at the shortest two times, and more than two times can only continue to release after two or three days.
“What should we do?” Crazy Little Bee asked.
Crazy Battle Rage coldly said, “Continue to break through, this time clear the road and launch a charge.”
“We’re too late.” Li Yao’s Fire Hawk clearly saw that the monsters had already gathered there: “If I didn’t know that the siege was about to begin, why would I kindly remind you?”
Then, many players felt a slight tremor beneath their feet. Many players lay on the ground listening to the ground, and then their faces became very ugly.
They are not fools, they all knew the strength of the monsters in the sandbar area.
The face of Crazy Battle Rage was ugly, but still firmly said, “All guilds listen to my order, summon the strongest tanks to defend the rear line, don’t let the monsters break through.”
With his command, the leaders from all directions began to mobilize.
“That’s right.” Li Yao said with a smile, “We’ll be cheering for you at the back.”
Crazy Battle Rage stared at Li Yao, his eyes red, and said with gritted teeth, “If you think you can just sit back and watch, you’re daydreaming. Mage group, clear the swamp in front for me. All guilds, gather your elite assault teams. Let’s see, whose line will be broken first, yours or ours, when attacked by the monsters.”
Crazy Battle Rage made this decision, his heart bleeding, but he had no choice. The monsters didn’t care whether they were enemies of Starfire or not, they were being attacked here by the monsters. If they let the monsters through, they would be attacked from multiple sides.
Defending one side was enough, but if there were more, their front line would definitely not hold.
That’s why he came up with this strategy; while defending against monster attacks, they would summon their elites to attack Starfire’s Guild base. As long as they captured the base, the monsters would naturally disperse.
“Boss, should we adjust our formation for battle now?” The newcomer, Mu Zi, saw the opponent’s mage group appear, and Li Yao was still watching the show.
Li Yao nodded, “Let’s go.”
Sister Li yelled, “First Tank Group, get ready. Western Magic Group, get ready. Angel, it’s your turn.”
“Just watch.” Shield Angel said, “What about these props?”
Li Yao nodded, saying, “We can use them now, but save some. We don’t have enough projectiles and crossbow arrows.”
“Alright, brothers, raise the canvas.” Shield Angel saw that the opponent had let the mages reopen a path in the swamp, and he ordered to raise the canvas.
As the canvas was lifted, Crazy Battle Rage’s face turned pale. What appeared before him were large quantities of stone throwers and crossbows.
But with his command, the Elite Assault Team had already launched a charge.
And they saw numerous monsters appearing in their line of sight, the rumbling sound surrounding them like thunder…
