Chapter 487 - Upsetting the Balance

“So, where are we going?” Svelte Dancer asked as she took in the sight of the raging firefight below them

“Uhm… Over there!” Gu Fei pointed over to the firewood shed over at one corner of the backyard As it was over at one of the rare few high grounds available in the compound, everyone was very interested in it and the competition for control was particularly pronounced

“Can we make it?” Svelte Dancer sternly repeated the statement Gu Fei had emphasized to her earlier

Gu Fei showed a tragic look, speechless

“Should ait?” Sword Demon consulted the two for their opinion With how chaotic the battle beloas, diving right into it was tanta death, and no amount of skill would save them With Sword Demon's wealth of experience in MMOs, he surmised that if the three of the to identify theed, it was entirely possible for both parties to take them as enemies and turn on them to reduce the number of potential threats

“How long ait?” Gu Fei es were all it took to reach the resolution of the fight, but a group battle at such a grand scale would not end so quickly With the collaboration, support, and heals of players to their sides, group battles would often be a test of endurance and willpohichever side first lost their patience and messed up the tempo would end up as the loser of this battle The entire battlefield anized attack and an organized defense, as well as a very organized avoidance of the NPC guards spread everywhere in the backyard which was the center stage for this battle Everything was conducted orderly and was not as chaotic as things appear to be

The veteran Sword Dehed “I'm afraid it won't be any time soon”

Gu Fei took a look at the ti, Svelte Dancer yelled, “Say you're logging off, and I'll push you down there! Yours truly came all the way here just to help you with your quest; I dare you to log off on me!”

Gu Fei heard this and thought it ot help for this quest, so he simply could not reconcile to leave now that they were at such a crucial h he was usually a very principled person, his insistence on logging off on ti the escort quest he did for Traversing Four Seas Gu Fei was so used to it that he figured it was fine to just let go of it oneoff for now

“Man to observe the situation Even though everybody below looked to be very focused on their fight, the three of them did not dare overtly draw everyone's attention They were currently all hunkering down on the ra turns to poke their heads over and look about

However, Gu Fei was not really well-versed when it caood time had passed, yet he was still not able to find any way through Meanwhile, Svelte Dancer, who typically took on the mantle of a hero in whatever battle she participated in, did not have the slightest clue on what she should be looking for or about tea and studying the battle for show In the end, it was still Sword Deh

“We've got a shot at this!” Sword Demon suddenly said

“How so?” the two quickly turned to regard the man

Sword Demon pointed in the direction of the firewood shed “Take that shed as the natural topographical advantage in this place Ranged job classes and Priests will be far e point as they can exert an iht here”

“So, where's our chance?” Svelte Dancer was no slowpoke

“Look The fight for control over that shed has already ended The Mages, Archers, and Priests fro side are already on top of that roof, and they have essentially snatched the offensive within the area If the other side doesn't react to this, they will then have to watch theirmore than fodder As such, they'll first have to increase their assault to this place before they coround, in order to maintain the balance between the forces”

Sword Deically as he could Svelte Dancer heard all this in her confusion before repeating her question once more, “So where's our chance?”

Sword Demon helplessly explained it in detail “While the battle is in a state of delicate equilibrium, any unexpected variable will break this balance A short period of disarray is bound to affect the side that's unprepared for this, and that is the precise e of”

Svelte Dancer looked as if she was on the verge of cru Chinese?”

Gu Fei looked at where Sword De to suggest There's a distinct advantage in holding the vantage point that the shed affords, so if the people atop the roof are suddenly eliminated, the tenuous equilibriuht?”

Sword De upon this advantage to suppress the enemies will fall apart in that instant”

Svelte Dancer, as starting to understand Sword De forces? Reaping in this serendipitous benefit from our involveain the upper hand, right?”

Sword Demon chuckled “They won't… But once we strike, they'll be beside themselves with joy Do you really think they will seek to har will”

“You're right!” Gu Fei responded “Then, let's make our move and sunder this stalemate!”

“We should be able to leap over onto the roof of the shed frolanced toward Svelte Dancer He was uncertain if this lady had the spunk to leap off froh elevation

“Heh That's easy!” Sure enough, Svelte Dancer was not the average woman Not only was she clueless about teamwork, she had no idea what fear meant as well

“Will we die from the fall?” Gu Fei asked

“It'll be dangerous if we land on the ground, but if we make it to the roof of the shed, we'll only lose a portion of our HP – not enough to be fatal” Sword Deame Only a MMO maniac like him would bother to carefully research about how ht While the different job classes had varying degrees of resilience toward fall dae due to their final stats distribution, Sword Demon and Svelte Dancer essentially had the saement would apply to her as well As for Gu Fei, Sword Demon made sure to remind the man that it was better to err on the side of caution and use his Blink before he landed
