Chapter 188: Solokill (1/2)

Gui Guzi stood with his spear and asked, “Boss Broken Halberd. Are you saying that Bloody Mercenaries are Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ academy?”

I immediately shook my head. ”That would be a grave mistake!”

”Why so?” Du Thirteen was shocked.

I smiled. ”Because Bloody Mercenaries is not an academy branch of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, but their essential, core organization. Let's put it this way. If Ancient Dreaming Souls are the sword, then we, Bloody Mercenaries, are the edge of the blade. It’s what they rely on to tear through the enemy’s armor and defenses!”

Du Thirteen was relieved and said, ”Brother Xu Yang told me to gradually move the strong players of Bloody Mercenaries into Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Should we do that?”

I smiled. ”No way!”

Gui Guzi laughed. ”Yes, if we give the elites of Bloody Mercenaries to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, who will be the main force of the guild?”

I nodded. ”This is not a question of fighting for power. One guild cannot conquer the world alone. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is low on strength, they need the help of a protector like Bloody Mercenaries. Just like I said in the past, our principles will not change: we will crush the world beneath our feet and stay true to our oath!”

Then I paused and continued, ”Now, we have kept our oath, but it doesn’t mean we will do whatever higher-ups of Ancient Sword will tell us to. Why should we give our strongest people to Xu Yang? Ha! How about I get him drunk and convince some strong tacticians to join Bloody Mercenaries instead!”

”...”

Beiming Xue smiled, her dimples showing. ”Boss, boss, we are all in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. In reality, Bloody Mercenaries really need a top-class expert!”

”Yes, let's take it slowly. Thirteen, Mamate, you have to be focused and not miss any of the talents you can recruit. Of course, the requirement is that this person will be useful and loyal to us.”

”Understood!”

……

Beep!

Murong Mingyue sent a message: ”Are you leveling up?”

”No, what is it?”

”A fight broke out in the wild, you coming?”

”Yes, add me to the party!”

”Alright!”

Soon, He Yi sent a party invitation. With a beep, I joined the party. The nine-person party was full with my addition. I opened the large map and the locations of those people were in an area near Wild Pheasant Ridge.

I had wanted to party up with Gui Guzi, and Beiming Xue, but they had gone to level up with Mamate and Du Thirteen. In the end, I could only go off on my own.

In the party channel, some players said excitedly, ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is coming?”

”Yes,” I replied simply. ”Why are you guys fighting?”

I frowned. ”Is Flower Room purposefully looking for conflict with Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls? Eve, didn't you identify yourself?”

He Yi said exasperatedly, “I said I am the leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls… and got hit two more times…”

”Fuck, they dare? Wait for me!”

”Mn!”

……

I sprinted and reached Wild Pheasant Ridge in less than fifteen minutes. He Yi and Murong Mingyue were standing on top of a small hill in the distance. Right now, He Yi was dressed in new armor and a milky white cape flapped behind her as she held the Abyssal Sword in her hand. Adding on her beautiful face and amazing figure, she would rank in the Top 3 beauties of Floating Ice City...

He Yi did not have many people with her, at most a dozen. It seemed like she didn’t want to call too many people over.

In reality, this decision was very wise. In these early stages of the game, leveling up was priority. A wise leader wouldn’t pull their members from grinding and would rather persevere and deal a fatal blow when ready. Only idiots like Li Le and Roaming Dragon would go around with hundreds and thousands of people each day to steal grinding zones like bandits.

There was a group of 40 players from Flower Room at the bottom of the hill, including Li Le and Life of Luxury. On top of that, the three heads of the Ego workshop—Spring Mud, Moon Shadow, and Night Sorrow—were among them. These three had become three of the most important five figures of Flower Room. With their important decisions, they didn’t hesitate to challenge their old master. Could they get any more shameless?

I sprinted up the hill. The Dark Wasp flew out as I opened my hand, already in a combat mode.

”Lu Chen, you came!” He Yi said with a smile.

I nodded. ”Yes, boss, you worked hard. Leave the rest to me!”

”No, I need to kill a few. Just now, this group mounted a strong attack and almost killed me. Fortunately, Mingyue's heals are strong.”

”Oh...”

I looked at He Yi. Her shoulder armor showed traces of war and there were numerous holes in her cloak. She had clearly endured a hard battle, and her items’ durability had dropped by a lot. Once her items worn out like her cloak, they would no longer provide any stats.

Murong Mingyue glared at me. ”Brat, where is my car?”

”Oh, in the parking lot. But it received a fine at the university. Mingyue, you have to go on time to pay it, otherwise, there will be further penalties...”
