797 Chapter 797 - They were actually Passersby? (2/2)
”Surround him!” The leader of this squad gave the order, as players began to fan out.
Gu Fei swept his glance right by them, ”Surround? What are you even talking about.” And with that, he somersaulted backward off the edge.
”What the f*ck?” Everyone was stunned. What just happened? Did Thousand Miles Drunk just end his life without even putting up a fight? That did not sound like Thousand Miles Drunk's style at all!
”Could there be a rope? Quick, sever the rope!” Someone shouted this as he bolted forward. Taking a look down, he saw that Gu Fei was already at the bottom of the mountain, slaughtering folks left, right, and center. When the slayer arrived, the position that Remarkable Flair workshop had right by the mountain pass entrance immediately fell. The enemy's forces instantaneously all ran down the mountain path, defeating whoever stood in their way under Gu Fei's lead.
Those players still up on the mountaintop sent a message to ask, and they ended up throwing their weapons to the ground in their frustration when they learned what happened. ”F*ck me, that guy Blinked!!”
The players down below very clearly witnessed Gu Fei leap off the mountain, and at the moment before he hit the ground, he cast his Blink, using the spell to survive that fall without any injury whatsoever.
They already had problems holding back Dusky Cloud and the others, not to mention now that they had an additional Thousand Miles Drunk to deal with. The whole lot of them very rapidly broke through the human barrier as they turned around and continued to fight to their hearts' desire, clearing out each and every player they could lay their eyes on.
The casualties they suffered were still pretty heavy though. Close to 100 players had been killed from the two times with the rocks and logs before, and it was also impossible for nobody to get hurt in the ensuing battle. Almost half of the 198 comrades that Dusky Cloud had brought along for this were killed, while quite a good number of the men from Forever In Flowers had died as well. Proportionally speaking, it was the ladies of Amethyst Rebirth that had the least losses. Dusky Cloud and his men were rather manly in this respect, taking care of the ladies since they knew of their standard, protecting the ladies from Amethyst Rebirth even in the chaotic fight they got in. There was even less of a need to mention the men from Forever In Flowers, with some even pushing the ladies aside and sacrificing themselves in the process when the rocks and logs were raining from up above. Of course, there was also an incident where one of the men had made a mistake reading the trajectory of the incoming rocks and ultimately ended up pushing said lady into the path of the rock instead. After being universally condemned for his action, he attempted to redeem himself by making a brazen sacrifice during the battle later.
”Hold on just a bit more, everyone. Our men are about to arrive!” Dusky Cloud encouraged everyone. However, he did not expect everyone to still be able to persevere, and instead, it was their enemy who retreated, not even getting caught up with the battle as they turned tail and retreated toward the mountains.
”Hmm?” They were all astounded. Even though it was obvious that the men from Remarkable Flair had lost the current battle, their reinforcements were just about to arrive, and there were those players that had gone up the mountain before that would be joining in the fight very soon. The best strategy for them would evidently be holding on and dragging things out for as long as possible, waiting for their reinforcements to surround and annihilate everyone altogether. By turning tail and retreating at this time, would they not be letting Gu Fei and everyone go free?
Young Master Han furrowed his brow and gazed out at the men that were getting closer by the second, ”Could those guys not be their reinforcement?”
”But they aren't my men either!” Dusky Cloud said.
”Could they be passersby?” Everyone was dumbfounded. They had been very anxious over these additional troops that looked to be joining the fight, but they turned out to be just a bunch of passersby? Yet from the direction they were heading, there was without a doubt that they had come from Yueye City, going in the direction to Yunduan City. It was rare to see such a big group of players rushing toward another city, so everyone reckoned they might be doing a guild quest of some sort.
”Looks like the men from Remarkable Flair thought they were our reinforcements,” Young Master Han commented.
”We were fighting men from Remarkable Flair?” Dusky Cloud was shocked.
”Yes, the players who were impeding our advancement here were men from Remarkable Flair. Don't tell me you thought that they were from the guilds of Yunduan City who had managed to set up an ambush for us beforehand?” Young Master Han said.
”They are from Remarkable Flair, alright. I met Proud Sovereign when I was up on that mountain,” Gu Fei added.
Dusky Cloud and his comrades were of course familiar with the name. He was the Arrogant Spawn that was from the organization in Yueye City that was currently putting up the strongest resistance against their Ten Guild Alliance!
”Arrogant Spawn is from Remarkable Flair as well?” Dusky Cloud had not known about this fact.
”Yup. Furthermore, he is the one in charge of his workshop here in Yueye City. Here, take a look at his name card,” Gu Fei had kept Proud Sovereign's name card which caused the man quite a bit of a heartache. It was still inside his dimensional pocket right now!
”That b*st*rd was actually someone from a workshop!” Dusky Cloud nodded his head repeatedly. ”That makes things a lot clearer. Come, spread the word. PK everywhere that Remarkable Flair has a foothold in.”
”That's not good, is it?” Dusky Cloud's comrade voiced his concern. ”There's quite a lot of our men from the Ten Guild Alliance that also have their hands in the pockets of Remarkable Flair.”
”G*dd*mm*t, it's not like they are the only workshop around. Those who enjoy working can just contact other workshops. Anyone who stands on the side of Remarkable Flair can scram!” Dusky Cloud raged.
