Chapter 592: Chapter 16 Guild Wars

Xiao Jie sat in front of the computer, watching the dawn sunlight slowly rise from the horizon, feeling an inexplicable surge of excitement, scoffing at the so-called calm and detached mindset.

Today was his day of revenge, and at this moment, his heart was filled with endless Killing Intent and thrill.

Liu Qiang, I’m coming for you!

Behind him, members of the Assassination Team gathered, a squad meticulously selected as his final lineup.

Dragon’s Illusion, Little Dragon Shrimp, Ye Luo, Hao Mie, Xia Yi the Unrivaled, An Ran.

Whether in terms of strength, suitability for the assassination mission, or reliability, they were the best choices.

"Everyone, this operation is somewhat risky. We might be walking into a trap, so if anyone wishes to back out, now is your last chance. Once we set off, there’s no turning back," he said.

Xia Yi the Unrivaled chuckled, "Come on, Sui Feng, you’ve said it several times. We know you don’t want personal grudges to drag us down. Don’t worry, we joined this mission for our own reasons.

Whether it’s to help or for greater achievements, just give the order already."

Hao Mie, confident as ever, added, "That’s right. Today’s a guild battle, and I’ve been thinking about looting that Immortal Master’s equipment."

Xiao Jie swept his gaze over the group and without further ado, commanded, "Let’s go!"

The seven summoned their mounts and sped towards Xuelan Town, leaving only dust in their wake.

Since Xuelan Town was further than Luoxue Valley, the Assassination Team had to leave ahead of time.

Leading the team through the desolate wilderness of Beiming State, An Ran transformed into a snowy owl scouting from above, their horse hooves pounding over the snow and frozen ground, emitting a dull thudding sound. It was bound to be a tense and somber journey.

Xiao Jie monitored the screen while reporting the situation to Long Xingtianxia over voice chat.

"We’ve set off, President. We expect to arrive at Xuelan Town in forty minutes."

"Good, I will have the intelligence team keep in touch with you. Update me immediately with any developments. We’re also getting ready to depart."

Soon it was 8 o’clock, and the members of the Dragon Soaring Knights all logged on, assembling outside the city in precise formations.

Long Xingtianxia, riding the Dragon Blood Divine Steed, felt his heart surge as he watched his members form into well-organized ranks.

"Report to the President, Sky Water Town troops have assembled. 37 expected, 35 present, report complete."

"Report to the President, Sanshan Town troops have assembled. 42 expected, 38 present, report complete."

"Report to the President, Luoyang Town troops have assembled. 44 expected, 37 present, report complete."

"Report to the President...

A total of 252 troops from six towns were expected, and 227 showed up. Over twenty people didn’t log in for various reasons. Long Xingtianxia wasn’t surprised, as retreats are typical in such large-scale guild battles,

In fact, the actual turnout had exceeded his expectations.

The main force of 32 members was all accounted for.

Lastly, the temporarily formed Military General Team of 48 members, comprising the main force and various branch generals, was also fully assembled.

Seeing the formidable military array in precise formation, Long Xingtianxia was filled with pride.

At that moment, the players standing on the city walls, excitedly discussing among themselves, added to the lively atmosphere.

"Holy crap, are they going to war?"

"Yeah, they’re confronting the Azure Dragon Association. I heard they killed dozens from the Azure Dragon Association yesterday."

"Are they really killing? Holy crap, these are ruthless folks."

"If you asked me, is it really worth it for some equipment or treasures? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just developed peacefully? Why all this fighting?"

"What do you know, it isn’t just a little bit, it’s a massive amount!"

"I guess they’re fighting for territory. If one guild wins, we’ll probably have to look up to them from now on."

The crowd discussed fervently, yet amidst them, one person remained silent, merely standing quietly and capturing the season’s scene of the Dragon Soaring Knights on camera.

At the same moment, in Xuelan Town, the scene was nearly identical.

The Azure Dragon Association and its vassal guilds were massing outside the town in grand arrays. Unlike the Dragon Soaring Knights’ orderly formations, the players here were much more disorganized and undisciplined, with the vassal guilds loosely grouped together, the largest contingent obviously being the core of the Azure Dragon Association.

Inside the headquarters’ hall of the Azure Dragon Association, the staff were all in place, sitting neatly in front of their computers, resembling a large-scale internet cafe during a national battle.

On the second-floor platform surrounding the hall, armed soldiers vigilantly monitored the activity below, giving the impression of a military base.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, exuding a cold military demeanor.

Zhao Qingyun glanced at the man; these soldiers, sent by the board, weren’t under his command. These professional mercenaries, trained to kill without blinking, were not people he could easily handle, though he might have exaggerated a bit in what he told Xiao Jie.

Fortunately, these soldiers followed the rules strictly. Their sole duty was to maintain order in the base, showing no mercy to anyone who disrupted it.

At least nominally, he was still in charge here.

"Ah, such a big scene, am I late?" Liu Qiang arrived, holding a cup of coffee and smiling.

"You’re just in time," Zhao Qingyun replied, gesturing for Liu Qiang to proceed.

"Mr. Liu, I’ve prepared a computer for you."

"Heh, I still prefer using my own." Liu Qiang glanced at everyone’s screens, just as the intelligence personnel transmitted the assembly scene of the Dragon Soaring Knights; he chuckled dryly, "This one’s all on you, President Zhao."

"Likewise, Mr. Liu, Ah Fu’s safety depends on you too."

"Ha ha, don’t worry, with me here everything’s under control. I’ll head to the station now."

Waving to his men, Liu Qiang swaggered away.

Watching Liu Qiang and his group leave, Zhao Qingyun let the team behind him take their seats.

"Ah Fu, it’s all on you now."

"Rest assured, President," said Ah Fu as he logged into the game and walked straight towards the Magic Altar.

As the time reached nine o’clock, as if by some tacit agreement, both sides almost simultaneously submitted their guild war applications to the guild managers in the city.

This was followed by a series of system announcements.

System Announcement: Dragon Soaring Knights has initiated a guild war against Azure Dragon Association.

System Announcement: Azure Dragon Association has initiated a guild war against Dragon Soaring Knights.

System Announcement: Money Gang has initiated a guild war against Dragon Soaring Knights.

System Announcement: Wind Clan has initiated a guild war against Dragon Soaring Knights.

System Announcement: Destructive Sky Tower has initiated a guild war against Dragon Soaring Knights...

Simultaneously, Xiao Jie also received a system prompt.

System Prompt: Your guild [Dragon Soaring Knights] is now at war with the following guilds..., the guild war will last 24 hours, during which killing members of enemy guilds will not accumulate Sin Value.

Killing members of enemy guilds is treated the same as killing red name players, all equipment and items in the inventory will drop...

As the sound of the system prompt continued, a guild emblem also appeared behind the names of Xiao Jie and his teammates.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that the game’s details were quite in place, which made it easier to distinguish between friend and foe.

Soon, the team arrived at a small hill near Xuelan Town,

Seven knights lined up on the hilltop, looking at the town of Xuelan below; at this moment, the Azure Dragon Association was just preparing to set off.

Several people hid in the shadows of the trees at the top of the hill, whispering to each other.

"There are quite a few enemies."

"I heard there are three to four hundred people."

"They are just a mob."

"Do you think the President has other trump cards? He seems so confident."

"Dragon’s Illusion must know."

"Don’t ask me; I won’t say. It’s a matter of discipline."

Listening to his teammates’ discussion, Xiao Jie suddenly spoke in a stern voice, "Once the battle starts later, don’t be soft-hearted. This is a fight to the death; if you don’t want to be killed, you can only kill others."

"Haha, don’t worry, we are all determined. I’m still waiting to kill that Immortal Master and loot some Orange Equipment."

Killing the boss to drop items is naturally good, but with more wolves and less meat, killing members of enemy guilds during this guild war period are big loots, randomly killing a few would make a fortune.

Since it’s a life-and-death fight, they would certainly carry their best equipment and items, which can be considered as moving treasure chests.

Of course, this motivation applies to both sides; in the eyes of the enemies, they are also moving treasure stores.

Take Xiao Jie’s equipment, just the Demon Refining Gourd alone is probably worth over a hundred million.

So, whether killing others or being killed, all who dare to come have made up their minds.

"Here," Ye Luo suddenly traded something.

It was a blood-red talisman.

[Blood God Talisman (High Grade Talisman)

Use: Increases your Life Value limit by 200 points for 30 minutes.

Item Introduction: A peculiar talisman made by a talisman master of the Taiyin Law Conference using the Corpse King’s Blood, allowing the user to gain fake life, making it harder to be killed.]

Xiao Jie looked at Ye Luo in surprise, "Where did you get this from?"

"Taiyin Law Conference reputation reward, I can’t use it myself, you’re the main force in action later, better you use it." Ye Luo said calmly, but Xiao Jie felt there was something special hidden in his tone.

Giving himself such a lifesaving item before a big battle, this favor was somewhat significant.

"By the way, I also have something for you." An Ran also made a trade; it was a white feather, glowing.

[Snow Wind Feather (Special Item)

Use: Increases your Agility by 17 points for 60 minutes.

Item Introduction: A feather from the Demon King Snow Wind of Canglin State. Although it has fallen off, it still contains some demon power; using it may grant some special power.]

"Thank you all."

Ye Luo seemed to remember something else, "I also have one more thing, given to me by Cheng Xian. He is quite upset that you didn’t bring him along. He exchanged it at the Xuanxu Palace with Contribution Value."

This time, it was an elixir.

[Taiyi Silver Pill (Spirit Pill)

Use: Recovers 1 Mana point per second for 30 minutes.

Item Introduction: A secretly formulated elixir by an alchemist of the Xuanxu Palace, continuously restoring Mana for the consumer.]

Good stuff, this way during the battle, there won’t be any worry about running out of Mana.

Xiao Jie was quite touched inside, these friends, each one of them so genuine.

"Look quickly, they’re on the move," Hao Mie suddenly shouted.

Xiao Jie looked towards the distance, seeing hundreds of members of Azure Dragon Association majestically heading towards Luoxue Valley, until the troop vanished on the horizon, Xiao Jie then nodded.

"They’ve set off! Let’s move as well."

With a shout, the seven rode their horses towards Xuelan Town at full speed.
