Chapter 727 – Compromise (1/2)
Chapter 727 - Compromise
“WHAT TO DO?! What should we do now……” Rumor lifted his long sword as he stood in a corner, his spirit clearly shaken.
The Guild Leader of the [Knights Templar] urged his horse over and shouted loudly, “ Deputy Commander, if you continue with this killing, we will no longer have any negotiating grounds. What Tyrant of Western Chu said does have some logic to it. Furthermore, this is a civil war, there is no need to kill every single one of them!”
Rumor pulled on the reins but he was unable to stop halfway. There was no choice. It was he who decided to attack [Zhan Long] and [Judgement], these two big guilds. Originally, he thought bringing along 20000 Greedy Wolf Raiders along with three other large guilds with three times the number of players as compared to the two guilds would ensure victory over them but who would have thought that [Zhan Long] and [Judgement] would be so powerful and unyielding which caused Rumor’s initial plan of displaying his strength to all go down the drains.
At this point of time, Rumor couldn’t advance nor retreat. To stop halfway was also out of the question.
[Valley of the Gods]’s War Tent lifted his battle-ax as he charged forward, and roared at the top his lungs, “Deputy Commander, give us an order!”
The colour of Rumor’s face turned darker. He probably wanted nothing more than to dig himself a hole to die in.
At that moment, Not Ordinary had just commanded his Greedy Wolf Brigade to retreat. He was clearly annoyed, after all, he knew that defeating [Zhan Long] would be impossible today.
Call Me Master raised her spear and lead the Greedy Wolf Raiders. She wiped some blood off of her snow white thighs and said, “Deputy Commander Rumor, we’ve suffered too heavy of losses in these past few waves. In the end, this is just an internal conflict. We’ve already shown [Zhan Long] our stance, there’s no need to sacrifice every last one of our soldiers. Let’s stop this battle already. As long as Deputy Commander agrees, then I’ll go and talk it out with Xiao Yao Zi Zai and Ye Lai!”
Finally, a reasonable person had appeared among the five guilds. Rumor glanced at Call Me Master and felt that she understood his intentions. Finally, he nodded, “Ok, go. If Xiao Yao Zi Zai and Ye Lai agree to stop this battle, then we will too. We’ve suffered quite a loss in this battle, so we’ll count it as a warning!”
Call Me Master’s lip twitched, the smile disappeared as quickly as it had come. She bowed and said, “Yes sir, I’ll go tell him that. Deputy Commander, wait for my return!”
As she said that, Call Me Master turned around with her spear and brought a team of Greedy Wolf Raiders and dashed towards the chaotic mess between [Zhan Long] and the [Knights Templar]. Light flashed everywhere and the grass had been dyed red with blood. If [Zhan Long] lost any Steel Blade Horsemen, it was one death for every five from the [Knights Templar]. Otherwise, they would never be able to kill a single Steel Blade Horseman.
Corpses were littered around. Even Call me Master couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. She charged through the group and raised her spear while she shouted, “Guildmaster Xiao Yao, Guildmaster Ye Lai, I have something to say!”
“Pu!”
Li Mu pulled his sword out of the chest of one of the [Knights Templar] which brought about a splatter of blood as he laughed, “Isn’t that Call Me Master? Wang Jian, charge with me! Let’s go and capture that girl. I heard that her legs were extremely long!”
Wang Jian was speechless.
I quickly interrupted, “Wait, don’t attack. Maintain your positions!”
Once everyone heard that, they immediately stopped their advance. Call Me Master took the chance to walk over and say, “Now that we’ve reached this point, all of our guilds have taken heavy losses. Deputy Commander believes that if we keep this up, we’ll only end up losing on both sides. And so, Guildmaster Xiao Yao, must this battle continue?”
Old K coldly laughed, “Look at the body count on the field. I’m starting to think that if we continue this, it won’t be a lose lose situation, but rather you guys losing and us winning!”
One Second Hero picked up his spear and chuckled, “That’s right. And, it’s even with the five guilds all ganging up together. You guys tried to beat [Zhan Long]’s prestige in Tian Ling City, well dream on. You’re just a pack of newbies!”
Call Me Master’s expression fell, and she seemed a little awkward and embarrassed, as though she didn’t know what to say.
I quickly walked forward and cut One Second Hero off, “Alright already. Either ways, this is an internal battle, there’s no need to fight until we all guard the bodies. [Zhan Long] still took quite a few losses. If Rumor wants to stop the battle, then let’s allow the five guilds to retreat!”
Call Me Master’s heart leaped, “Really? What about Guildmaster Ye Lai?”
In the distance, Ye Lai raised his bloody battle axe and said, “[Judgement] and [Zhan Long] will both take a step back. If Xiao Yao says that, then [Judgement] agrees.”
“That’s great! Then let’s stop this battle!” Call Me Master excitedly said.
I shook my head, “There’s more. If we’re going to stop this battle, there must be some conditions met!”
“Conditions?” She was stunned.
I smiled back, “But of course. Otherwise, the brothers of [Zhan Long] and [Judgement] that have died will have died for no reason. Why did we have to fight this? It’s not because we were trying to show off. It’s not because we had to suppress that Deputy Commander. It’s because our friends have been humiliated and our dignity has been provoked. This wilderness battle was started because some players from [Run Like Flames] had cursed at one of the female players from [Judgement]. And so, why don’t you bring out those people so that they can publicly apologize to her. Otherwise, I will summon all five thousand of the high level NPC soldiers from Dragon’s Den to come here to Mount Zi Wu so that they can engage with the five guilds at any time. Even though we don’t have your numbers, I will make sure that not a single person from the five guilds leaves this map alive.”
Ye Lai couldn’t help but smile, “That’s right. If you don’t apologize, then the brothers of [Judgement] won’t rest!”
Call Me Master grit her teeth and nodded, “Let me bring this up to Rumor!”
