Chapter 475: Sassy Reinforcement (2/2)
In the afternoon, Guan Dongyang got the invitation to the tournament, which immediately lit up outrage everywhere at the camp.
”Balls! Thankless b*stards! They know that we are mostly Mastery casters, and that is why they called for a tournament! ” Ross shouted and thumped his fist on the heavy table.
Each faction was to draft ten fighters, and the winner of each round would claim one-tenth of the war spoils.
As a small but effective group, the Battle Wolf's status had always been unclear among the other resistance groups. Guan Dongyang had expected some reluctance in the other two leaders to share the war spoils equally. Even if the other leaders had the decency to give Battle Wolf its fair share, it was impossible to divide the war spoils equally into three portion due to a level sixteen METAL suit, whose value was hard to measure using the other loots.
As a mastery caster, Guan Dongyang had an inferior defense than his METAL counterparts, and therefore, he was in the great need of such a high-level METAL to protect himself. However, both Marcos and Randolph felt that they could not pass up the opportunity either.
Guan Dongyang remained calm after reading the invitation letter for the tournament. ”Whining and complaining won't change the fact that our strength is weaker than them. If it were you, would you be willing to share contents of the loot with weaklings? At any rate, they did not deny our rights to claim the spoils. They just want to use the tournament to prevent us from getting that super METAL, that's all.”
”So, what is your call?” Ye Zi asked. She was tempted to negotiate a better deal with the other two factions as a member of the Divine Master Sect. However, after some thoughts, she conceded that between face and super METAL, the two leaders would choose the latter within a heartbeat.
Guan Dongyang shook his head and beamed from side to side. ”I have news that I wished to announce later today. It would give Marcos a pleasant surprise. ”
”You mean someone from House Lie is going to join us?” Ye Zi asked with a smile.
”How did you know?”
”Haha, boss, you never smile like that unless we are talking about Lie Xuan!”
”Haha! Well played, boss. That will be a hell of a sassy surprise for the other two factions! Haha!”
”Yes. Since it's an internal dispute, House Lie cannot interfere too much, so Lie Xuan will come alone. Our goal is the super METAL; the rest does not matter.” Guan Dongyang announced.
”Boss, you can count on us!” The rest of the soldiers at the meeting room shouted in unison.
”I will go prepare a guest room for her.” Ye Zi volunteered.
After the meeting, Guan Dongyang dispatched another assistant to compile a complete list of the loot, just in case the other two factions changed the contents in the cargo boxes. Two hundred men and women had followed him to the battlefield and bled, some even losing their lives. Guan Dongyang could not let their sacrifice go down the drain. In addition, Guan Dongyang suspected that there was more than just one super METAL among the loot based on the size of the escort team. So, he invited Lie Xuan to join his side in order to gain more odds in his favor
The young leader of Battle Wolf knew that he would be examined and tested during this tournament, and therefore, it would be a great opportunity to display his strength and pave the way to his leadership in the upcoming assault on Maersa.
…
”Captain, news about our victory had made its way to many other factions. We are going to have lots of spectators during the tournament.”
Marcos scowled. ”They can look, but don't they dare touch my loot!”
