230 Chapter 230 - Satisfied amid their Dissatisfaction (1/2)

From the moment that Brave Surge and his men had entered the forest, he had been moving within Young Master Han's expectations.

Using his fellow mercenaries as bait for Gu Fei to cast AOE spells on the enemies... This was but a small part of his entire scheme. While that gambit might work on the enemies for the first person that fell down, Brave Surge would begin to expect for Gu Fei to cast spells on a bunch of them whenever someone fell down. As a result, he would surely stop any melee job classes from getting near any man that fell down and would choose to have the ranged job classes finish off the target, instead.

It was when Brave Surge had made such a decision that he had thoroughly fallen for Young Master Han's scheme.

The melee job classes dared not to close in on a target, while the ranged job classes' attacks were severely restricted by the forest's terrain. No matter how many ranged job classes Water Flower mercenary group sent, those players' capabilities to fight in this type terrain would certainly be limited. This was the key to Young Master Han's current stratagem.

Using himself as the bait to provide Gu Fei a chance to bombard the enemies to death was the real trap here. This ploy caused Brave Surge to make decisions according to Young Master Han's expectations.

Brave Surge's judgment was not really mistaken. Water Flower would have truly held the advantage in terms of number and would not have lost the match due to such limitations if this had been a conventional fight. Unfortunately for him, Brave Surge and his men were not just facing any average mercenary group today but an elite bunch of men.

Each of the six men of Young Master's Elite displayed eagerness to kill that Water Flower struggled to fend them off and was at a loss on what to do. In the end, even Brave Surge lost his cool upon seeing the messy situation that that had unfolded due to his erroneous command – a command that provided Gu Fei an exploitable opportunity.

Twenty-nine men! They only had twenty-nine men left, and they were mostly made up of Priests and Knights, too.

The players who were in charge of dealing damage now had their dream configuration, wherein each of them could have a personal Priest and Knight assisting them. This type of treatment was usually reserved for the strongest players in a group. And yet, despite experiencing the treatment reserved for top experts, not one of them could find it in them to smile.

The forest grew silent once more. Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Royal God Call stopped attacking the enemies simultaneously. Young Master Han was still hiding behind the tree from before. As for Brother Assist, he was up in the tree. Only War Without Wounds in Young Master's Elite was heroically standing right before the twenty-nine men.

War Without Wounds had been standing in front of the enemies ever since he fell from the tree at the start of the skirmish. But for a reason or two, he was never the one leading their group's assault. War Without Wounds cared not for this, though. Today's PvP had allowed him to enjoy his kills sumptuously, and more importantly, he had gotten a rarely acquired tidy amount of kill points. He always had difficulty earning himself contribution points with Young Master's Elite's configuration. Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Royal God Call could kill plenty of enemies that earned them a lot of contribution points, while Young Master Han and Brother Assist could earn contribution points even if they did not participate directly in a fight. As for him, he was only able to kill a limited amount of enemies every match. Sword Demon felt pity for him that he would even give him five points for protecting Young Master Han and Brother Assist.

Such humiliation! It was simply too humiliating for War Without Wounds. He was known as the number one Warrior in many MMOs, yet he was nothing more than a glorified bodyguard in this mercenary group. War Without Wounds had always been looking for a chance to display his skills, and today had been that fated day.

Gu Fei had fortunately saved him at the start; otherwise, he would have long been sent out of the PvP arena by the surrounding enemies. War Without Wounds shuddered at the thought. If he had been killed off just then, he might not even have earned those five contribution points for being a bodyguard. Inadvertently, War Without Wounds disregarded the twenty-nine men before him in his contemplation!

Young Master Han leisurely appeared from behind the tree and chuckled softly at Brave Surge's direction.

Brave Surge laughed as well, albeit with bitterness. He really had no way of dismissing this loss in today's match like how he had done during that previous guild match. Back then, many coincidental occurrences had caused them to feel dissatisfied at the final outcome. Water Flower had been losing this fight today from start to finish, so they had no way of feeling disgruntled about it.

Just as Brave Surge was about to say something, a sudden rustling of leaves sounded from above and the branches and leaves parted to reveal a person that came swooping down to Brave Surge in lightning speed.

The players of Water Flower who clearly witnessed the scene exclaimed, ”Oh, there's a rope!”

The Tarzan-like person was none other than Gu Fei. His hand was holding on to a piece of rope that was tied to a part of a tree. When the enemy players saw this, they quickly added two and two together. Recalling Gu Fei's smooth dive from the sky before, they associated the rope to his previous feat.

”Twin Incineration! Incinerate!” Gu Fei did not swing over for nothing and immediately used his signature move. Having finished replenishing his mana by eating a piece of fruit while atop a tree, he caused a fiery glow resembling a dragon to streak pass the heads of the Water Flower's remaining men that were marveling over his suspension trick. Four unlucky players happened to be in the path of Gu Fei's swipe and were unceremoniously insta-killed.

Twenty-five! Water Flower mercenary group only had twenty-five men left.
