Chapter 49 – Team Rose (1/2)
The old skeleton’s location was a secret, and Fatty didn’t want to let anyone else to know that people could mine safety there before he finishes the mission. That’s why he had to lure the incomers to another path.
The Bat Cave was originally a mine, so the main cavern was rather small. It was around five meters in both width and height, so Fatty set up ten-odd traps in the center of the cavern.
Fatty knew that LeftHandofGod’s and his provocation would trigger retaliation from the Ice Rose Alliance, and a group of players arrived very soon.
…
“They’ve been in there the entire time?” the one who spoke was a mage called MarchExtinction. There was a white bird on her shoulders. Although the other players didn’t know what the pet was, they knew that she was definitely pretty strong since she was able to get a pet so early. Moreover, there was no way Snow Witch and Rosethorn would send a weakling to deal with the fat ass and the other assassin.
“Yeah, they didn’t come out after entering,” another player immediately replied.
“Could they have stealthed away?”
“Definitely not. This is the sole entrance to the Bat Cave. We sealed the cave the moment they entered, and there has been someone attacking at the entrance the entire time, so they definitely could not escape in stealth. What’s more, Money Grubber did lay down traps inside. Two of our rogues have already been injured. He is definitely still inside,” the player responded with certainty.
“Good. Get into formation and enter,” MarchExtinction caressed the pet on her shoulder with her right hand, and ordered with an unusual coldness.
50 players from the Ice Rose Alliance got ready to enter the cave. All of them already got their second enhancement, and all of them were female. Although a lot of players were getting their second class enhancement, the fact that Ice Witch and Rosethorn sent 50 players with their second class enhancement over meant that they weren’t only doing it for revenge. Instead, they were showing off their prowess to make the players of Black Tortoise City understand just what consequences awaited them if they offended the Ice Rose Alliance.
…
Fatty put away his pickaxe and walked in front of one of his traps. There was still a pool of blood on the ground. The two Ice Rose Alliance rogues were rather unlucky. Not only were they unstealthed by the trap, they were also discovered by the Vampiric Bats, which chased them away.
Fatty fixed up his trap, then sat beside his trap and waited for the incoming battle in excitement.
…
Meanwhile, the Ice Rose Alliance’s squad stood in formation outside the cave and begun to march in. The ones in the front were a few knights who already had their second class enhancement, the warriors stayed at the flank, while the mages and priests marched forward in the middle. MarchExtinction was at the very center of the squad as both a mage and a commander.
As the squad advanced, several fire great mages fired a few fire balls every so often to illuminate the path.
Team Rose, one of the Ice Rose Alliance’s two mighty teams? The vice guild master MarchExtinction is leading the squad personally? I guess they really are taking this former number one rather seriously. LeftHandofGod hid in the tunnel without moving. He didn’t even shudder when a fire ball exploded above his head. He did not think that he himself would garner so much attention for MarchExtinction to lead Team Rose to go after him. On the other hand, TheFugitive did mention Money Grubber to him multiple times. LeftHandofGod wanted to see just what the person even TheFugitive admires is like. He had originally planned to follow Fatty, but he considered it for a moment, then decided against it because it would look terrible if he was discovered. Thus, he chose to wait in the tunnel instead.
When Team Rose walked by LeftHandofGod without noticing him, LeftHandofGod smirked, then followed quietly behind them.
The squad advanced very quickly since there were a team of 50 players with their second class enhancement, including 5 healers, meaning that only a large number of Vampiric Bats could only pose some real threat to them.
“Be careful, the traps are right in front,” one of the rogues who ran away from the traps said. Several great mages focusing on earth spells instantly pointed towards the empty ground in front of them and casted spells. The ground cracked open and the traps Fatty spent a long time to set up were destroyed.
Fire, water, earth and wind were the four main routes a mage could choose to take. Other than those, there were also hidden subclasses that specialized in other attributes such as lightning or ice.
Like I thought, there are only amazing players, and not amazing classes. Fatty couldn’t help but gasp when he saw his traps get destroyed.
After seeing a few traps quickly get destroyed, MarchExtinction raised her hand. “Mages, fire at will. Ensure that nothing goes unscathed in front.”
All of a sudden, fireballs, water arrows and all sorts of other spells shot forward, attacking everything around a dozen meters or so in front of them. One of the players even casted Fire Dragon Break, creating a three meters long fire dragon to sweep across the area in front of them before dissipating into fire sparks a few minutes later.
“FlameGoddess, what are you doing!?” MarchExtinction scolded.
FlameGoddess, the mage who casted Fire Dragon Break, scratched her head embarrassedly. “Sorry, sorry. Big Sister Extinction, please don’t punish me. I just wanted to cast the skill I only just learnt. Hehe.”
“Haha, actually I wanted to cast it too. I was just too embarrassed.”
“What so special about a fire dragon. I’ll show you guys how strong a water dragon is when we find that Money Grubber.”
“We’ll show you the might of an earth dragon…”
