Chapter 612: Betrayal (2/2)

I looked back at the city behind me. At this point, our player count had dwindled down to almost nothing. Including the subguilds, our total player count was only 27k or so. Still, this should be enough people to defend Dark Moon City for the next half an hour.

“Hmm? Did anyone see the idiots who call themselves Throne Seekers?” Li Chengfeng suddenly asked hesitantly.

Xu Yang tried, “Are they hunting Gui Guzi or Heaven’s Rain?”

But Li Chengfeng pointed to the horizon and said, “No. Look over there, Little Gui, Little Rain, and You and Yun are still wrecking the players of Hall of Immortality. It doesn’t look like they’re facing any real resistance…”

“You’re right. Where is Throne Seeker?” Xu Yang was a bit confused.

We were all confused until a sudden chorus of angry shouts broke out in the guild channel—

“Fuck! How the hell did Throne Seeker get into the city? What’s going on?”

“Dammit, who’s the fucker who opened the gate and let them in?”

“What’s going on?”

I turned around and was met with a shocking sight. An army with blood red IDs above their heads had charged into the city, and they were led by none other than Emperor’s Equal, the leader of the Throne Seeker. The Level 136 magic knight was followed by a column of mounted players riding red-colored battle wolves, and they were killing everyone who was unfortunate enough to enter their sight. Countless NPCs and support players were killed in an instant.

“What the hell happened…”

Li Chengfeng was completely stunned. “What the hell are the defenders on the east gate doing? They have no siege weapons there, so how on earth did the gate open?”

Inside the guild channel, Pure Love revealed the truth in a tearful voice, “It’s terrible, the eighth subguild has betrayed us, it’s that guild led by Freezing Point…”

The IDs of all 5000 players of the eighth subguild changed from neutral white to hostile red in an instant. The guild emblems on their shoulders also changed from the subguild of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to the subguild of Rose of the Holy Domain, our mortal enemy!

Swhoosh!

Lu Buyi was no exception. The tactician stared dumbly at his blood red ID for a couple of seconds before a sudden fury seized him. “Fuck! What the fuck is going on? How… how the fuck did I become the enemy all of a sudden?”

Beside him, Chaos Moon pointed her weapon at Lu Buyi and criticized him harshly, “That is our question, Lu Buyi! What do you have to say about this? Why did your guild leader betray us?! You let us down, and you betrayed Lu Chen’s trust! WHY?!”

Tears swirled in his eyes as Lu Buyi gritted his teeth. He abruptly quit Waste and Burn and shouted, “With the heavens as my witness, I, Lu Buyi, am not an ingrate!”

I nodded and said, “Lu Buyi is our brother, and we don’t doubt our own! Come on, we’ll head down there and find out the truth ourselves. Shit, are those wolf riders the Greedy Wolf Cavalry Throne Seeker is famous for? Let us see what they are really made of!”

After that, I jumped down the wall and strode toward Throne Seeker. Obviously, their goal was the territory hall!

Emperor’s Equal and his men killed all the way to the entrance of the territory hall. However, he was met by Du Thirteen, Xue Lu, and almost a hundred Bloody Mercenaries. Even Yamete was there to help.

“Get lost!” Emperor’s Equal said coldly.

Yamete raised his staff and shouted, “You’re the ones who should get lost, you idiots! This city belongs to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and Bloody Mercenaries will fight to the death to protect it! Not a single one of you will get your hands on the territory hall for as long as we’re here!”
