Hu Die Lan
Chapter 479 Another Alliance?
Since the position for climbing the wall wasn't decided by their will, the two ultimately chose a place relatively close to the backyard. Gu Fei took out his binoculars and carefully observed. Jian Gui waited quietly to the side. After a while, Gu Fei put down the binoculars, and Jian Gui asked with his eyes.
Gu Fei sighed, "The focus of the defense is all under the wall. It's completely impossible to sneak in. If I had known this, I think going through the main entrance would be no different from now."
"If we go straight down?"
"We would inevitably be drowned in a sea of people's war," Gu Fei said.
"What about that small woodshed you mentioned? Is it possible for us to break in?" Jian Gui said.
"Breaking in is entirely possible, but if that door is impossible to enter, we will die outside; if we can get in, we will die inside," Gu Fei said, spreading his hands.
"No wonder the layout outside the wall isn't very tight, because there's no need to be. They just need to know we're coming, and then the people inside the wall can increase their attention," Jian Gui said.
Gu Fei nodded, "They don't even care where we climb over the wall from..."
"Few people..." Jian Gui sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but recall the glorious years when he led the Against the Heavens guild. If it were that era, with a wave of his arm, he could have led a large group of brothers and sisters to directly crush these guys. Would he need to be sneaking around like this now, full of concerns?
"Sound the East, strike the West is the only way..." Gu Fei said, "But we only have two people. If only one jumps down, I'm afraid we won't be able to lure anyone away."
"You Ge and the others... are still in Lin Yin City, and haven't said whether they'll be back," Jian Gui began to analyze how they could get more manpower.
"Piao Liu is the enemy now..." Gu Fei was also thinking.
"Gui Tong and Yan Xiao Zhu?" Jian Gui asked.
"It seems... we don't have much of a relationship..." Gu Fei said.
"Is there anyone else?" Jian Gui wondered.
"It seems... there is one more," Gu Fei said.
"Gongzi..." the two said in unison, then fell silent again.
"What is Gongzi doing?" Gu Fei asked Jian Gui.
Jian Gui glanced at Gu Fei, as if to say that you shouldn't have asked this question.
Gu Fei said "Oh" and opened the message and sent: "I'll ask him."
"Nothing to do? Hahahaha!" Gu Fei sent such a message to Han Jia Gongzi.
"What's the matter?" Han Jia Gongzi asked directly.
"There is a very meaningful job, and I think only you are the most suitable candidate," Gu Fei said.
"Are you drunk? Trying to fool me?" Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Let Jian Gui talk to you!" Gu Fei switched the conversation to the mercenary channel.
So Jian Gui briefly explained, naturally including some of Gu Fei's analysis of Andrew Su's diary. Han Jia Gongzi, who was sitting in the tavern drinking, suddenly became interested when he saw the content: "Oh, this seems a bit interesting."
"Uh, now my thought is, if that sleeping assassin came for the same purpose as the Misty Shadow Assassin, then the small woodshed pointed to by his feet must have something crucial," Gu Fei said.
"Did you search his body? Maybe there will be something," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"No... I didn't think of that when I was by his side," Gu Fei said. It was later when he was on the upper floor window and witnessed Seven being dragged out and killed, looking down from above, that he suddenly noticed the assassin's sleeping posture and the direction of his feet, and came up with the current idea. If conditions had allowed at the time, he would naturally have run to check, but unfortunately, he didn't have those conditions at the time and can only start all over again now.
You Ge and the three others, who could also watch the mercenary channel, were also attracted to attention when they saw these analyses.
"Is this kind of analysis really okay?" You Ge interjected suspiciously.
"What's wrong with it? You say you three ran all the way for nothing. You might as well mix with me here!" Gu Fei said.
The three were very sad. Gu Fei really poured salt on their wounds.
"What you need now is someone who can divert part of Misty Flower's attention from defending the courtyard, and you take the opportunity to investigate that sleeping assassin and the small woodshed, right?" Han Jia Gongzi repeated the difficulties Gu Fei and Jian Gui were currently encountering.
"Yeah!" the two answered together.
"This kind of thing cannot be done by one person! It needs a team with a certain amount of strength," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"It will take us three some time to come back, and when we come back, Qian Li will be offline. How about tomorrow?" You Ge and the other three said.
"Just the three of you, it doesn't seem to be of much use," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"..." The three were very depressed.
"Gui Tong, help me contact him," Han Jia Gongzi suddenly said.
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Gu Fei asked.
"Just meet at the tavern where I am. I'll sit at the seat by the door and wait for him." Han Jia Gongzi had that same bossy tone of ordering without explaining.
Gu Fei was helpless. Seeing that Gui Tong was indeed online, he tried to contact him. Gui Tong said that he had a little thing to do and would be over as soon as he finished, and Gu Fei thanked him repeatedly. In his heart, he was guessing what Han Jia Gongzi was planning to do with Gui Tong? Did he want to borrow this girl's connections here? It didn't feel very realistic! Gu Fei knew that with Han Jia Gongzi's bad character, he would never explain in advance, so it would be more practical to ask Gui Tong after they met.
"Do you know what ghost he's up to again?" Gu Fei, who was bored, could only ask Jian Gui.
"Don't know." Jian Gui shook his head.
The helpless two had no choice but to wait patiently. Compared to them, the Misty Flower guild members inside the wall were even more anxious. Having confirmed that the periphery was under attack, they would ask each other "Are they coming?" every few seconds, until their mouths were dry.
The world is so impermanent. Gu Fei and Jian Gui originally had good intentions and didn't want to use such means to harass them, but their simple and crude human wave defense plan really left the two helpless. Forced to do so, the temporarily stopped action naturally became a harassment. The two on the wall kept sneezing, all because the Misty Flower players were cursing wildly.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Jia Gongzi finally dropped a sentence in the guild channel: "Okay, you pay attention to the situation yourself and decide on your actions!"
"What did you do?" Jian Gui asked.
"Found some helpers," Han Jia Gongzi replied.
Gu Fei was smart and directly messaged Gui Tong privately: "What did he ask you?"
"Asked about the situation of the guilds and mercenary groups here in Misty Haze City," Gui Tong said.
As soon as Gu Fei heard this, he understood again: "Here he comes again!"
"What's coming?" Jian Gui didn't understand yet.
"Just like in Linshui City, he deeply betrayed Jian Nan You and the others; this time, he's probably inciting the guilds here to harass Misty Flower!" Gu Fei said.
"Um... this method is feasible..." Jian Gui, who knew the complexity of guild competition, agreed with this plan. Seeing that a guild was about to complete a guild mission to upgrade a level, there must be many guilds that were very unhappy. In fact, without anyone trying to instigate them, they would think of ways to sabotage. Han Jia Gongzi might just be persuading them to understand that now is a very good opportunity.
"In the Warring States Period, this method is called Vertical Alliance!" Han Jia Gongzi said.
"You are truly a great politician, diplomat, and strategist," Gu Fei said.
"I thought you should have known that long ago," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"..."
"You guys handle the rest yourselves!"
"Of course!" Gu Fei and Jian Gui cheered up again. The two had moved to the top of the wall in the backyard, the closest position to the sleeping assassin.
"Look, the sleeping assassin is probably in that position. There is a big tree, see it?" Gu Fei handed the binoculars to Jian Gui, while helping him guide him.
"Oh, found it," Jian Gui said.
"You are responsible for him, I'll go to the small woodshed," Gu Fei pointed to the woodshed in the corner of the backyard. To save time, the two decided to split up.
Misty Flower naturally didn't know that this small woodshed was actually the main target of Gu Fei's visit this time, and there was no special arrangement here at all. Like every other inch of the place, the sight of several players could reach here. Gu Fei patiently continued to squat in the wall, waiting for the power of Han Jia Gongzi's alliance to play its role.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
"What's going on?" Gu Fei wondered in the channel.
"Be patient, people need time too," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Um..." Jian Gui responded, "Verifying the reliability of the news, organizing manpower, and formulating attack strategies all take time."
"Speaking of which, how did you instigate these guilds?" Gu Fei asked.
"Guilds? Who said I instigated guilds?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.
"Vertical Alliance... didn't you say that?" Gu Fei was surprised.
"Vertical Alliance is talking about the method of dealing with Jian Nan You last time, which counts as a Vertical Alliance; I don't seem to have said that I am doing the same this time, right?" Han Jia Gongzi said.
Gu Fei flipped through the chat history, and finally had to admit that, analyzing the words, Han Jia Gongzi indeed didn't say it. But when Gu Fei and Jian Gui thought so, this guy didn't come out to object at all, he was simply deliberately letting the two misunderstand. This kind of thing was clearly meaningless, why was this guy doing it so happily? Gu Fei had the urge to kill again.
"Then what exactly did you do?" Jian Gui asked.
"You two are a mage and a thief. I just hired some players with the same professions as you and harassed them like crazy," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"This... is it feasible?" The two were equally doubtful.
"It's not possible anywhere else, but it's possible in Misty Haze City."
The special thing about Misty Haze City is naturally the foggy weather. Thieves have stealth, they can run away after one hit without revealing their true colors; and mages can simply hide in the fog and release area spells. To impersonate, these two professions are indeed somewhat operable. It's just... Gu Fei and Jian Gui both had a common thought in their hearts: Ordinary players can impersonate each other, but can ordinary people imitate top experts like us???
