Chapter 689 – A Call from Mu Rong Jun (1/2)
Chapter 689 - A Call from Mu Rong Jun
On the first page of the ’s forum, there were already videos posted of the battle between [ Thousand Burial]’s Greedy Wolf Brigade and [Vanguard]. It was a three minute abridged version that highlighted the best parts of the battle. It was a battle of ambush. Not Ordinary, You Yi and Minimalist lead 1500 Greedy Wolf Raiders in a charge into the forest. Their movement speed was shocking, They didn't give Don't be Foolish any time to react. Naturally, that also meant that Don't be Foolish couldn't create a formation for a wilderness battle. In the end, their formation was smashed apart and the Greedy Wolf Raiders rode right into their army. This was also the biggest reason why [Vanguard]’s main team had been defeated.
As I watched more closely, I noticed something else. The attack and movement speed of the Greedy Wolf Brigade was only one factor to [Vanguard]’s defeat. Of that 2000 man team, only Don’t Be Foolish, North Pole, and Goodbye Tears could be considered as top tier players. There weren't any other notable CBN Battlenet ranked players in that group. On the other hand, Not Ordinary had invited quite a few high level players. Minimalist was one of them. There were also quite a few others. For example, there was a female knight called “Servant” who was ranked 421 on the CBN Battlenet rankings. She was one of the top players in all of China. Who would have thought that a guild like [Thousand Burial] would develop to this point.
……
I closed the video and continued killing Steel Blade Beasts. At the same time, I made sure to be on the lookout for Level 1Mounts. At this moment, Li Mu coughed and said, “What do you guys think about that thing with Not Ordinary and his two thousand man team getting massacred by [Thousand Burial]?”
Dong Cheng wryly smiled, “Well all things aside, I just know that Jian Feng Han is an extremely prideful person. When he was in Ba Huang City, he acted all aloof and probably didn’t even look at a small guildmaster like Not Ordinary in the eye. He probably really despises Not Ordinary now right? But that’s not bad either. Now that he’s taken one defeat from the Greedy Wolf Brigade, [Vanguard] will be ready.”
I frowned, “That’s not exactly a good thing.”
Dong Cheng was stunned, Why do you say that?”
I grunted and said, “Not Ordinary is already calling the army in [Thousand Burial], “Wolf Troops”. Do you know what that means? That means…. Not Ordinary is already planning on using them to give him a chance for survival. Just like this time, when Don’t Be Foolish and his two thousand man team was eliminated, they probably dropped quite a bit of equipment. The Greedy Wolf Brigade have a +10% drop rate. That then overlays with the 20%with the Greedy Wolf Mount’s +20% drop rate. After this battle, Not Ordinary’s Greedy Wolf Troops experience and equipment will have risen to a new level. If we let him plunder a few other big scale guild’s grinding teams, then even if we make our Steel Blade Cavalry, they won’t have much of an advantage against the Greedy Wolf Brigade.”
Li mu was a prudent man. After listening to my reasoning, he nodded and said, “What guildmaster just said isn’t without reason. No matter what we do, right now events are unfolding in [Thousand Burial]’s favor and they don’t seem to be planning on fighting with [Zhan Long].
Wan Er said, “Yea. As long as [Thousand Burial] doesn’t plan on fighting [Zhan Long] then we might as well just leave them be. All in all, the situation in Tian Ling City is getting more and more complicated. Do you think that [Thousand Burial] actually has the courage to attack [Legend] and [Hero’s Mound]?”
I smiled, “What is a Wolf’s Ambitious Heart? If Not Ordinary is really planning on extending the scope of the Greedy Wolf Brigade, then I don’t think he would be afraid to act against [Legend]. However… based on Fang Ge Que, Xuan Yuan Feng and Enchanted Painting’s fighting power and intelligence, even if the Greedy Wolf Brigade became a ten thousand man army, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to win against [Legend]....”
Dong Cheng giggled, “Exactly! Right now, even [Zhan Long] is making preparations and training the Steel Blade Cavalry. [Legend] and [Hero’s Mound] are so secluded, there’s no reason they wouldn’t also prepare for battles in the future.”
I smiled, “That’s right. We have nothing to worry about right now. Our real priority now is to catch a few more Steel Blade Horses. As for the battle of Tian Ling City, we’ll leave that to Matcha. I’ll just leave the command of [Zhan Long]’s division armies to her!”
Li Mu nodded, “Yup, that’s a good idea. Let’s work hard!”
……
All the way until eleven at night, [Zhan Long]’s thousand man team continued to battle on the Steel Blade Mountain. On top of that, we didn’t plan on letting more people come. We had to keep this place a secret. We cold be sure that the thousand men that were on the mountain now weren’t going to let out the Steel Blade Mountain secret, but that was harder to say with all ten thousand players in the main guild.
“How many Steel Blade Mounts do we have now?” I asked.
Wan Er’s beautiful face had an excited expression written all over it as she said, “We’ve already broken a thousand. Besides, we just cleared out 60% of the Steel Blade Mountain’s map. If our luck continues, we might be able to create 2000 Steel Blade Mounts!”
“Good, that’s great!”
I raised my sword and jumped off of my horse. I sat on a rock to the side and said, “After killing monsters for so long, I’m getting a little tired. How about we take a little break and then pull an all nighter tonight on this Steel Blade Mountain?”
Wan Er nodded, “Of course. The best case scenario would be that we kill all of the monsters within the next 24 hours and then wait for them to respawn. However… after they’ve respawned, the chance that a Level 1 Baby would appear would decrease. This is one map. The first time that a monster is spawned contains the highest chance that a BOSS or a Level 1 Pet/Mount would appear. After its been cleared by players, the appearance rate would decrease!”
“Ok, then we’ll pull an allnighter and clear out this map!”
At that moment, Li Mu and Wang Jian walked over too and requested a break.
……
“What’s the situation like in Tian Ling City?” Li Mu asked.
