145 Chapter 145 - A Battle Not Fit for Someone without a Sense of Direction (2/2)
”Wounds, the enemy is heading to your location; 500, 0. Miles, you're currently positioned far behind the enemy. Can you see them?”
”Nope,” Gu Fei replied.
”Head toward 428, 427. There is a mound in that location; do you see it?” Young Master Han asked.
”Yes… But how do you know its coordinates?” Gu Fei asked as he headed toward the indicated location.
”Talent,” Young Master Han answered simply, chuckling.
”Sword Demon, there's a low ground over by 29, 476. Go there and refresh your coordinates when you can.”
”Got it,” Sword Demon acknowledged and moved toward the indicated location as well.
”…The players from Crowd Herder have gotten near our spawn point. Wounds, your coordinates,” Young Master Han informed after a while.
”59, 2. Also, it's Cloud Herder!” War Without Wounds corrected.
”Do you see that wooden house over by 35, 64 yet?” Young Master Han asked.
”I see it. I'll head over there now.”
”I'm not asking you to head there; the enemies are near that location. Is there anything around you that you can use to hide yourself? Keep yourself hidden first. I don't really have a clear view of your location since some g*dd*mn trees are blocking my line of sight,” Young Master Han cursed.
”Mhm. There's a large boulder here.”
”Hide behind that and report your coordinates.”
”54, 16,” War Without Wounds said after hiding behind the boulder.
Young Master Han adjusted his position upon the tree until he could find an angle where he could see the large boulder.
”Oh… It looks like you can't hide there for long. Get ready to use Cyclone. Cut down as many opponents as you can!” The Cloud Herder mercenary group's members just reached Young Master's Elite mercenary group's spawn point and did not discover a trace of the six men, so they began to split themselves into smaller teams to comb the area.
”Eight men are headed your direction, Wounds. Looks like you'll be the first to sacrifice yourself for the team. We will remember you,” Young Master Han stated apathetically.
”F*ck*r, you guys better not lose!” War Without Wounds tightened his grip on his claymore.
”Naturally. Get ready,” Young Master Han warned.
War Without Wounds' claymore was angled off the ground. It was in a position to unleash Cyclone and brutally rend through his enemies once they showed their heads to him.
”F*ck! You've already been discovered. Hurry and rush out,” Young Master Han quickly shouted.
War Without Wounds also noticed the fiery glow that that had appeared above him. The enemies evidently discovered that someone was hiding behind the boulder so, instead of coming over, they simply had their Mages directly bombard the area with spells. War Without Wounds bellowed as he rushed out. Although he managed to evade the Descending Wheel of Flames coming from above, the sight that had greeted him upon his emergence from behind the boulder left him completely discouraged.
The enemies had already taken precautions against an ambush coming from behind the boulder and maintained a fair distance from it. When War Without Wounds rushed out, he immediately received the concerted attacks of all sixty-eight men from the Cloud Herder mercenary group. Arrows, spells… Long-range attacks rained upon him. No matter how high a Warrior's defense and HP was, surviving this barrage of attacks that held nothing back was simply impossible.
War Without Wounds had neither Gu Fei's nor Svelte Dancer's fast reaction and movement speed. Although his claymore managed to cleave a few balls of fire heading his way, he could not disperse all of them, especially that soon-to-land Descending Wheel of Flames. Under the enfilade of arrows and flames, War Without Wounds transformed into a stream of white light.
In the list of Young Master's Elite mercenary group's participating members, War Without Wounds' name dimmed as the opposing mercenary group was awarded 1 kill point.
”Brother Assist, your location is a little conspicuous. Head over to a mound at 468, 101,” The circumstances looked dire, so Young Master Han increased his commanding tempo.
”Miles, have you reached it? Stay where you are.”
The Cloud Herder mercenary group finished splitting up the sixty-eight players into eight-man teams and headed around the map in eight directions. As for the remaining four players, they headed toward the highest points of the map.
”The opponents are about to obtain a high ground. Sword Demon, quickly head toward 128, 412 using your Fleetfoot; there's a forest in that location!”
”Brother Assist, there are two teams heading your way, so move toward 399, 412. Make haste; there's another team coming toward you from 178, 134. Get to that low ground before they arrive in order to get away undetected.”
”Miles, there's a team of eight heading toward your direction.”
”Great! I'll take care of them!” Gu Fei was raring to go.
”No, don't do that. Another team is nearby in the 12 o'clock direction. If you engage those eight men, you'll end up taking all sixteen of them!” Young Master Han cautioned, adding, ”From behind that mound, head toward 426, 375. I shan't have to worry about you with your speed, yeah?”
”Of course…” Gu Fei actually wanted to try facing off against sixteen men all at once. But since this was a group activity, he was first and foremost a member of a group.
”Mmm, Royal…” Royal God Call, who had been ignored all this while, was finally addressed by Young Master Han.
”What?” Royal God Call was already bored to death at this point. It was as if he had nothing to do with this battle at the moment. Running in accordance to coordinates was a simple task to the average players, yet this was literally the world's most difficult matter for someone like him who was geospatially challenged.
”The enemy team in the 3 o'clock direction has already entered the forest,” Young Master Han said to him.
Royal God Call lifted his head and took a look. Young Master Han was hidden amid the verdant trees, obscured by leaves and branches. The location up a tree was truly a wondrous concealment spot. Regrettably, the trees around here were thick and high, so Royal God Call found it impossible to climb up one without anyone giving him a lift from below.
”What should I do?” Royal God Call asked. The surrounding forest was the most suitable terrain for the Archer to survive, a job class that excelled in ambushing others. However, Royal God Call's poor sense of direction limited his ability to display the job class advantage here. Just how was it possible for someone without a great sense of direction to use the terrain effectively to deal with the enemy? If Royal God Call were to attempt this, let alone not knowing where the enemies were, it would even be possible for him to lose himself while making his way around the forest.
”Stand here. Turn right. Mmm, that's good. Run straight in that direction!” Young Master Han said.
”Okay!” Royal God Call finally received Young Master Han's instruction. Securing his bow on his back, he ran in the direction Young Master Han had just indicated.
Currently, the players of both teams were frantically making their moves all about this PvP arena.A DC inspired TV show from the late 1980s. Think of Power Rangers, but each with individual mech suit and unique weapon or power.
