Chapter 414: The Difficult Headquarters

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As they saw more enemies gathering outside their headquarters, Mary and co. got increasingly nervous.

It took them great difficulties to find a stable place to settle down. Was this safe place going to be destroyed just like that?

“Brother Boson, are we going to fail?” Mary asked Boson.

Boson reassured the three of them, “Success and failure are common in war… There’s no need to be afraid.”

“But our headquarters…”

“It’s fine. As long as we don’t abandon the headquarters and surrender, the worst that could happen is that our headquarters gets destroyed. Our warehouse wouldn’t be plundered.” Ming Du grinned and said.

To most of the members of Quan Zhen Sect, the headquarters was a dispensable place. If not for the resources in the warehouse, the lot of them might be at some restaurant enjoying wine.

When Mary and the other two heard this, their hearts sank even deeper.

To not surrender meant that they had to fight to their deaths. There were only a little more than 10 of them against the army outside. The outcome of the battle was obvious. Did these fellas already set down their resolution to die?

Mary turned and saw that the bunch of rascals of Quan Zhen Sect had a relaxed look on their faces. Behind this relaxed look, they actually had the resolution to fight to the death. As she thought of this, her heart started to stir.

“Sisters, no matter what, we will not retreat!” Mary said with conviction.

“En!” The other two girls nodded with determination.

“Now, the two of you, move those things out!”

“Ok!” After responding, the two girls turned and headed towards the warehouse.

Just at this moment, the system notification came.

<System notification: The preparation time has ended. Feng Yun Guild will now commence its attack on Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters.

Offence: 500. Number of people yet to enter the battle: 34.

Defence: 15. Number of people yet to enter the battle: 3.

Time: 60 minutes

Target: Guild Crystal

If Feng Yun Guild doesn’t destroy the Guild Crystal in 60 minutes, the defence wins.>

“Why haven’t the Sanguine Alliance come?” Spring Halo asked Fearless.

Fearless, “They are reinforcements. They would have to wait for 10 minutes before they can enter the battlefield.”

In <>’s Guild Headquarters War, the first ten minutes of the battle must be fought by the two parties. The other guilds that act as reinforcements can only join after 10 minutes. Otherwise, the number of people helping Feng Yun Guild wouldn’t merely be the 500 that came.

At this moment, Wang Yu still hadn’t returned from Thorn City and he was considered ‘yet to enter the battle’. Considering the sudden nature of the war, the system was very humane to consider such players as ‘yet to enter the battle’. Players that have yet to enter the battle could enter the battle at any moment.

However, even if Wang Yu was here, there were only 13 of them to defend against 500 people in those 10 minutes. How could this be easy?

This battle wasn’t like those of the past. One couldn’t simply run when overwhelmed and return only when the opponent was unprepared.

Now, Quan Zhen Sect needed to face all 500 people head-on.

500 people. This wasn’t the same as dealing with brainless, NPC monsters. These 500 people had jobs which complemented one another, they were well-equipped and they knew how to adapt to situations.

13 people. If not for the large gate protecting the headquarters, they would probably be exterminated in a single wave.

Although resurrection is allowed in the design of the battle, resurrection required time. If one side is fully exterminated, the battle would end.

13 against 500. No player would believe that it would take more than 10 minutes for complete extermination.

The members of Feng Yun Sect had already gathered into a formation outside Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters.

The instant the system announced the start, the players of Feng Yun Guild began their attack on Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters.

The moment they began, Feng Yun Guild immediately noticed how hard it was to deal with this small guild’s headquarters.

When Fearless was choosing the location of the headquarters, he cheated so that they would have better defences.

The gate of Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters was placed at the back of a canyon. The two walls of the canyon were the best defences. Moreover, the wideness of the path was merely 4 meters. This was only enough for 4 players to stand side by side. Because of this, the defence difficulty was lowered significantly.

Spring Halo’s six demons formed up in a row together with Crotch Lord, blocking the valley entrance. Crotch Lord had Fearless’s protective buff and in his raised-shield state, he had no need to fear any long-distance attacks. At the same time, the six demons had thick skin and tough flesh. Adding Boson’s continuous Tornado Slash and Three-Point Slash by the side, the players from Feng Yun Guild had no means of passing through the valley entrance.

After all, they were players. They could not infringe the system rules and pass through the valley walls, right?

If they were fighting on flat fields, their superior numbers would be able to overwhelm their enemies in a single wave. But now, they weren’t able to exhibit the strength of their numbers.

Feng Yun Guild’s commander, Inferno War Reverent, looked at the valley with a headache. He turned to the magician beside him and said, “Big Bian [1], this headquarters is hard to handle.”

The magician was called Feng Yun Tu Bian, Inferno War Reverent and him were both direct subordinates of Li Xiao Bing. Not only was he strong, he was also rich with strategies. He was the true head of Feng Yun Guild.

“Don’t call me Big Bian (shit)!” Feng Yun Tu Bian rolled his eyes at Inferno War Reverent.

“Then how about Small Bian (urine)?”

“Your mom!” Feng Yun Tu Bian grinded his teeth. Thereafter, he shouted, “There are only a total of two warriors blocking the path. The two sides are empty. We can push in through the sides.”

“Not bad, you have the same thoughts as me.” Inferno War Reverent mumbled by the side. Then, he shouted at the players at the front row, “Guardians, push through the sides for me!”

When the guardians in the front-most row received Inferno War Reverent’s order, they formed up in a line. Tucking their heads in their shields, they charged towards the demons at the side of Crotch Lord and Boson.

“Bang!”

Before the four guardians could charge through the valley entrance, a dull sound could be heard. Following which, a Dark Barrier rose up from the ground, rooting the guardians in place.

Thereafter, a green light revolved around and landed on the front-row players of Feng Yun Guild. A dirty-green light radiated out of them.

Immediately after, flames rose up from the groud. There was lightning within the flames, causing the four guardians to immediately lose a bulk of their HP.

In the early stage, the HP of guardians was roughly 5000-6000. To lose so much HP at one go was enough to scare these fellas sh*tless. Just as the guardians turned to retreat, the arrow towers shot out four arrows, sending them back to the respawn point.

When the players of Feng Yun Guild saw this, they hurriedly took a step back.

AOE skills were intermediate skills that magicians could only learn at Level 30.

For example, there were Ice Magician’s Snowstorm and Lightning Magician’s Chain Lightning. However, these two skills didn’t deal high damage on the individual. Even so, the magicians from Quan Zhen Sect were actually able to deal so much damage to the tanks. Such damage was simply terrifying.

If it was already like this for tanks, then wouldn’t the others die the moment they entered.

They were all contracted employees. Since they didn’t receive any orders to rush to the front, who would want to go forward and kill themselves?

Everyone was smart. Naturally, no one would one to stand out.

“F*ck! Their AOE magicians are actually able to kill tanks!!”

Seeing the four tanks die simultaneously, Feng Yun Tu Bian’s face turned black.

“This is not easy to handle.” Inferno War Reverent frowned, “So how should we handle this?”

Feng Yun Tu Bian looked at looked at the three people on top of the arrow tower and said, “It’s a blindspot below the arrow tower. We can have the assassins to stealth forward to lead the charge. At the same time, they can bring down the arrow tower.”

Inferno War Reverent said shamelessly, “Not bad, that’s also what I was thinking…”

Feng Yun Tu Bian, “…”

“12 points!” Yang Nuo, who was in the arrow tower, delightedly flashed the points from the people that were just killed.

Spring Halo and Ming Du said gloomily, “F*ck, Sister Clear Snow, your last hit is really strong!”

“That’s right. Are you not satisfied?” Yang Nuo asked.

The two lied, “Satisfied. Definitely satisfied.”

Wrinkles appeared on their heads. With their lowly character, they would have probably spit at the kill-stealer if it was anyone else. But now, they actually had to admit that they were okay.

Fearless said in the guild chat, “Stop fooling around, their assassins are coming over. Little Chicky, go and prepare the path! Frost Blade and Old Fisher, get ready.”

“Got it!”

Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher flashed the ‘OK’ sign from the stone walls behind the valley entrance.

Vainglory ran to the front and threw out lime powder. Sticking close to the ground, he quietly scattered packets of lime powder on the floor.

Lime powder was able to break through stealth. This was something that only players from Twilight City would know about. Foreigners like Feng Yun Guild wouldn’t know about this. If Daybreak Winter was here, he could have reminded Inferno War Reverent. But now, Daybreak Winter was waiting outside.

“What’s that fella doing, bending over like that?” Feng Yun Tu Bian said in puzzlement.

“I don’t know, kill him!”

Although Inferno War Reverent didn’t know what Vainglory was doing, a Pugilist that was doing such things within their shooting range was simply taunting him. If he didn’t kill this Pugilist, then he wouldn’t be worthy of his position.

Who knew that Vainglory would be so nimble? He continuously dodged the arrows and spells flying towards him. Soon, the path around the valley entrance was covered with a layer of lime powder.

Just as Vainglory returned to his position in the back row, he saw foot prints appear on the powdery white surface.

Players of Quan Zhen Sect laughed, “They’re here!”

At this moment, Crotch Lord and the six demons were obstructing the valley entrance. There were only two gaps behind the wall. These gaps couldn’t be seen by the players from Feng Yun Guild. Ingeniously, there was a person at each gap. They were exactly Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher.

The assassin was a mainstream job. Naturally, there were assassins in Feng Yun Guild. These assassins were worried that they would be killed by the magicians in the arrow tower if their stealth was discovered. Thus, they did not dare to charge forward; they could only walk through the gap that Crotch Lord revealed.

However, as the assassins at the front walked in, they were mysteriously sent back to the respawn point.

Because of the ingenious positioning of Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher, the assassins at the back couldn’t see what happened and continued to walk forward. By the time the first wave of assassins revealed that there was an ambush in the guild chat, the lime powder that Vainglory scattered on the ground were all stepped on.

At the same time, Ming Du threw out another AOE at the valley entrance.

The blast of fire was intermingled with white light. In that short moment, Ming Du’s points rose above 100… He actually killed more than 30 assassins at one go and those assassins didn’t even know how they were discovered.

“F*ck!” Seeing more than 30 of his comrades getting killed at one go, Inferno War Reverent could no longer keep his calm.

“Send the big one!” Inferno War Reverent raged.

“Isn’t the big one left for the last moment?” Feng Yun Tu Bian said hesitantly.

“What use will that be? If we don’t use it now, we might all be killed!” [1] Big (Da) Bian means shit.
