Chapter 690 – Three Thousand Elite Troops (2/2)
After I logged on I immediately returned to Tian Ling City. All of that killing had completely diminished my equipment’s durability. I went to fix everything up. Afterwards, I bought a few ingredients to make some Level 11 pills. Once I finished everything up, Simple called just in time. I quickly answered. Her familiar voice sounded through the interface, “Hi, Xiao Yao….”
I smiled, “Yup, Simple, what is it? When you sent me that message, I hadn’t gotten out of bed yet…”
Mu Rong Jun couldn’t help but smile, “Well well, you really can sleep… Not Ordinary already has a ten thousand man cavalry. Does [Zhan Long] not worry about it at all? Before in Ba Huang City, the conflict between [Zhan Long] and [Thousand Burial] never really ceased….”
I confidently smiled, “What should I be afraid of? Shouldn’t the one who’s most afraid be [Vanguard]? If I’m not mistaken, on the Chinese Server Guild Rankings, [Vanguard] is ranked third. If you take another couple of ten thousand losses, then your precious third place might be given to someone else….”
Mu Rong Jun pondered for a few seconds on her response. She seemed to be thinking about something else. She then smiled, “Looks like Xiao Yao has already guessed what I want. Alright then, [Thousand Burial] has been chasing after [Vanguard] like a crazed dog and they just won’t let go. If [Zhan Long] really wants to sit around and watch, then I have nothing to say… After all, we are guilds that have declared war.”
“Well not necessarily…” I smiled as I said that. This was only meant to place a buffer that allowed the conversation to return. This was most likely the opportunity that Simple was looking for too. This time, she took the initiative to contact me, which means that [Zhan Long] has something she wants. If it wasn’t the end of the line, and even if Simple were a generous person who thought of the long plan, she probably would not have contacted [Zhan Long].
“Alright then….” She sweetly smiled, “I think you’ve already guessed what I want… Last night, [Vanguard] suffered a huge loss. This is a situation that we’ve never encountered in a wilderness battle. Not Ordinary’s strategy is to create battles from battles. He must be looking for some opportunity to whittle down the strength of the players [Vanguard] has online. The next battle will probably occur within the next 24 hours. And so, I want to ask that [Zhan Long] reinforce us and deal a painful blow to [Thousand Burial]!”
I nodded, “Then Guildmaster Simple tell me, what do you want [Zhan Long] to do?”
Simple said, “You Yi and Not Ordinary have been constantly online provoking our [Vanguard]. I haven’t seen them go to sleep once since yesterday morning at nine. They’ve been taking their Greed Wolf Brigade throughout Tian Ling City’s great map killing people and they’ve been going absolutely crazy. I plan, with [Vanguard] as the bait, to draw out the 7000 cavalry. Afterwards, if [Zhan Long] is willing coordinate, support [Vanguard]!”
As she said that, Simple seemed to be at a loss of words. I could see her speechless expression on the interface. She looked up at me and said, “I know, Ah Han was very hot blooded before and he has done a lot of harmful things to [Zhan Long]. But… this time, we really hope that you can support us and give us a chance to repair the relationship between [Vanguard] and [Zhan Long]. This is something that I’ve always wanted to do but never had the chance. Xiao Yao, you must understand my sincerity in this. From the day that you got the Tian Chen Sword, I’ve never wanted to make you my enemy.”
I nodded, “Ok, then tell me. How many of [Zhan Long]’s people do you need?”
Simple smiled, “This Greedy Wolf Brigade is just too strong. [Zhan Long]... its best if you can give us over ten thousand players. Otherwise, I’m afraid that it will be extremely hard to suppress the attack power of the Greedy Wolf Brigade. Their movement speed is incredibly fast and their attack speed is similarly shocking. If they all charge at once, with three attacking one, they can instantly kill all of our heavy armor knights. It’s just too terrifying…”
I was stunned, “If I use too many people, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to keep it a secret. At that point, [Thousand Burial] will be able to guard against it and we’ll end up not being able to lure them out…”
Simple bit her lip and said, “I thought of that too, but… but if you use less than ten thousand players, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to control their Greed Wolf Cavalry. Last night they only used 7000 of their Greedy Wolf Raiders. I’m afraid they have around 8000 now, or even ten thousand….”
As she said that, she trailed off and thought for a moment. Finally she said “But you brought up a good point. If there are too many people, then we’ll reveal our tail. I’m afraid that won’t be very advantageous to us either. This…”
I smiled, “Then how about this, [Zhan Long] will only use 3000 people. Two thousand mounts and one thousand ranged players.”
“Three thousand?”
Simple’s small mouth gaped, “Xiao Yao, are you underestimating these Greedy Wolf Raiders a little too much? Otherwise, are you underestimating [Vanguard]’s strength? Are we really as weak as you imagine us to be?”
I laughed and said, “Beautiful Jun, has [Vanguard] and [Zhan Long] not interacted enough times? Did you think that I, Li Xiao Yao, am such a hot blooded person? If I didn’t have assurances, I wouldn’t use only these three thousand. Besides, every time a [Zhan Long] brother loses a level, my heart pangs.”
Simple smiled, “Alright, I understand now. Xiao Yao, you must have some kind of ace up your sleeve, or else you wouldn’t be talking so big. Ok, I will declare war on [Thousand Burial]. I will tell you the location first thing!”
“Yup, I’ll be waiting for your news!”
