Chapter 618: Clean Break (2/2)

“Alright, job’s done. Buyi, it’s time to join the main guild!” I sent Lu Buyi a guild invite. He was a member of the eighth subguild until they betrayed us. Now, most of them were unaffiliated, including Lu Buyi.

A ding notified that the invite was successful. Lu Buyi nodded at me and said directly, “I promise I’ll live up to everyone’s expectations, Lu Chen.”

I nodded with a smile. “Mn, we all believe in you. Come on, let’s head back to Dark Moon City and get you a new set of equipment!”

“Okay!”

We turned back under the escort of a group of Cyan Tiger Cavalry. The clean-up battle in Dark Moon City was nearing its end, and almost everyone from the three guilds had been killed. There were still small pockets of people putting up a last hurrah, but they clearly were no match for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends combined.

I looked around for a bit after arriving at the guild warehouse. Cloth armor, high Defense, high Tactics, and high HP. Put all these requirements together and the pool of applicable equipment became drastically smaller. Thankfully, we got so much loot out of this war that I was able to filter out three Spirit-grade and four Purple Gold–grade pieces of equipment that fit Lu Buyi. He put them all on, a smart and cultured tactician in cyan robes was born just like that. The attire complemented him well because he was born with an intelligent-looking face.

“These items are amazing, hehe…” Lu Buyi chuckled as he examined his own stats. “I have almost 400 Tactics, so my stratagems are amplified by 400%. With this, Purple Dragon can boost everyone’s stats by 75%!”

He Yi’s eyes lit up. “Beauty Lin’s Bombshell has a hard cap of 80%. Did you see anything like this for Purple Dragon, Lu Buyi?”

“For now, I don’t see any mention of a hard cap.”

“Oh, that’s awesome!”

I smiled as well. Lu Buyi’s stratagem might actually be able to surpass Lin Yixin’s one day. Lin Yixin’s Bombshell was heralded as the strongest Famous General Skill of Heavenblessed, so it wouldn’t be wrong to call Lu Buyi the strongest tactician of China once his Purple Dragon surpasses her Bombshell.

……

It was at this moment a panicking Level 132 magic knight galloped past me. Behind him, High Fighting Spirits was giving chase and shouting, “Stop running, you shameless fucker! Are you a man or what!?”

The magic knight didn’t listen to him, forcing High Fighting Spirits to pant like a dog as he gave chase.

Crack!

Suddenly, a red flash appeared and stunned the magic knight in his tracks. Then, a beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere and hit the guy’s neck three times in a row with a dagger. It was the skill Blade Vortex, and it was one of Farewell Song’s most familiar moves.

Thud thud thud!

8042!

7899!

8125!

Three hits later, the assassin girl followed up with an Eviscerate that almost emptied all of the magic knight’s health. Behind him, High Fighting Spirits finally caught up and ended his misery with an axe to the neck. Then, he praised the girl with a hearty laugh, “Aiyo, where did you come from, little missy? That is some impressive assassin moves you got there!”

The girl was none other than Cute Little Naughty, the girl I was planning to recruit until a war declaration suddenly smacked me in the face. I was surprised to find that she had shown up herself.

High Fighting Spirits was a lolicon, so he absolutely adored Cute Little Naughty’s appearance, although granted anyone could fall for a girl with a cute face and a cute body like her. Rubbing his arms and salivating unconsciously, High Fighting Spirits asked, “Where did you come from, little girl?”

Cute Little Naughty slowly turned her back on High Fighting Spirits before looking at me. “Big brother Broken Halberd, did you forget our promise already?”

In that moment, High Fighting Spirits felt like killing himself.

I answered, “Of course not. But do you want to join the main guild, or do you want to build a subguild of your own?”
