Chapter 1490: Chapter 1490 Mrs. Smith

Some team members looked hatefully at the top of the tower, but now the tower where Li Yao had stood was empty, leaving only the desolate stone structure.

Clearly, the enemy was very confident in that arrow, knowing that it would achieve its purpose, and had already disappeared. Not to mention that they currently had no capability to kill Li Yao, even if they did, the opportunity was gone.

All they could do was turn back in fury, frantically rushing towards the direction of their team leader’s corpse, which was too far for resurrection.

If they could not resurrect their team leader, then their team would essentially lose the eligibility for the first kill.

Although they did not want to admit it, in reality, they had essentially lost that eligibility now. At least this time, their chances were slim, and reclaiming the situation would require not only strength and time but also a great deal of luck.

Meanwhile, Li Yao was heading towards his next target, and the Defense Officer also coldly swept over the battlefield, then left without saying a word.

Such a small-scale battle naturally wouldn’t require his intervention. If even an army of this level couldn’t be eliminated, he would not have become the Defense Officer here, and Uldaman wouldn’t have developed to its current state.

Of course, the enemy’s soldiers kept appearing, but that didn’t matter, as trapping them was only a matter of time.

However, Li Yao had aroused his high vigilance; from the moment of stunning appearance, the Defense Officer couldn’t help but take action, and yet he failed to kill Li Yao.

Now, Li Yao was actually able to disrupt their elite Array, obviously having a profound understanding and knowledge of ancient runes and magical formations. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to rapidly and accurately destroy such a well-defended Array.

This formidable strength and unpredictable movements, albeit a lone individual, gave him a feeling of threat greater than even the Green Dragon, which never brought such pressure even when bombarding the fortress every day.

However, Li Yao was elusive, prompting the Defense Officer to secretly increase personnel to track his movements.

The Defense Officer sat on the ramparts, his eyes filled with excitement, like a bloodthirsty hunter spotting prey.

Li Yao’s goal was clear; to create chaos in the outer perimeters, chaos so uncontrollable that it would force those at the core to make corresponding moves and adjustments, giving him the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

But it was not enough just by himself; he needed both teams to fight desperately as well.

Both teams were not weak; it could be said that each could summon an army of four hundred thousand, making it a total of eight hundred thousand by combining the two.

Even if it were eight hundred thousand ants, eliminating them would require considerable time and effort, let alone that these two teams were capable of competing for the first kill, thus their forces were naturally not weak.

But both sides had their own objectives and calculations, exercising great restraint, almost as if they had agreed upon acting out a scene, each within their control.

At this rate, Li Yao would have no chance; if they accumulated enough progress before leaving, Li Yao would have even less of a chance.

Even though he was formidable, after all, he was just one man.

That’s why he had to disrupt the Array and manipulate the Transfer Crystal, to force both sides to fight with all their might. Only without any way out, would the teams go all-in to fight their way out.

And when the player army, which was too large, was discovered by the fortress’s higher-ups, they could not be exterminated as quickly as they believed and posed a considerable threat, only then would the central Legion start to mobilize.

Li Yao’s second objective was naturally the Guild of Annihilation’s team. They were already an enemy faction, and moreover, they were from the European administrative region, coupled with the competition for the first kill.

So doing such a thing, Li Yao had no psychological burden whatsoever, nor did he care about their feelings of hatred.

After all, it all comes down to capability. If they had the ability to scheme against Starfire or him personally, any team would be very pleased to do so.

Although the Transfer Crystal is extremely precious, it’s not something money can’t buy. Using it is quite troublesome, and Li Yao’s guild warehouse has two sets, but he never brought them out.

In Li Yao’s view, there is no true dead end within the dungeon. If one ever encountered such a situation, it could only mean one thing: the leader made a wrong judgment or they encountered a scene their strength could not cope with.

But no matter which it was, it meant they simply weren’t competent enough to contend for the first kill.

This form of competition for the first kill inherently requires one to charge forward without looking back. Believing that one always has a way out not only leads to laxity among the team members but is also a sign of a lack of confidence.

Games emphasize strategic methods, but it also depends on the situation. At least in Li Yao’s eyes, there’s no need for a way out when competing for the first kill. If you don’t win, you lose; if you don’t get the first kill, then what’s the point of being second?

The Guild of Annihilation has a higher ranking than Shadow Tide in Europe, and they have been one of the strong, rising guilds in the past two years. Although there is some distance from Edward’s top guild, they have always been ambitious, with the goal of becoming the top guild already on their agenda.

Moreover, they look down on all guilds from administrative regions outside of Europe.

In their view, competing for the title of the world’s top guild has always been a matter for European guilds. American or African administrative regions are merely a backdrop, and as for the large Asian administrative region, they don’t even consider it worth their attention, not even as a backdrop.

Thus, even though they knew Li Yao singlehandedly thwarted Shadow Tide’s plan, they simply didn’t care.

"The people of Shadow Tide are really useless, getting played like this by a single person. Next time we cooperate and form a team, I’m going to mock them thoroughly."

"Heh, I thought they were worthy competitors, but now it seems they are nothing special after all."

"Of course, nobody can stop our guild from reaching the top. This competition for the first kill is just the beginning."

"Prairie Fire is quite arrogant, that’s because they haven’t met us yet, otherwise... heh..."

"Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to see the true strength of Shadow Tide’s team. It would be so much better for them to be content serving as our subsidiary guild."

"Enough, after all, we are allies. Shadow Tide does have strength in their team. They must have been careless this time. Although Prairie Fire’s team consists of just one person, his capabilities are unquestionable. His track record isn’t something made up. Our guild hasn’t even reached the top yet, but you’re already looking down on others. With that kind of attitude, you’re bound to suffer sooner or later."

The leader of the first team of the Guild of Annihilation is the president’s wife, and she is actually the strongest in the guild. Her husband is proficient in management, but when it comes to leading the team, it’s always her who steps up.

Her in-game ID is Mrs. Smith, a woman full of charm and with a temperament that carries a bit of toughness.

What’s more critical is her impressive skills; she chose to be a Mage, and a fire Mage at that, clearly aiming to compete with Edward.

Moreover, she has the confidence. According to reliable information, she and Edward are friends in real life but competitors in the game, and there are rumors that they have sparred in private, with their abilities closely matched...
