Hu Die Lan

Chapter 145 Not Suitable for the Directionally Challenged

Chapter 73 73 People!

“73 people!” Everyone was muttering this number.

"Moreover, these 73 people are not low in level. 27 are level 40, 39 are level 39, and 7 are level 38. Basically, the Young Master and I have no ability to confront them, so each of you will have to face 18 opponents," You Ge said.

"..." Everyone was speechless. Even Gu Fei wouldn't dare to say he could take on 18 people single-handedly. He had already experienced in yesterday's guild war that there were many more problems to solve in this kind of targeted confrontation than in ordinary PK. Usually, Gu Fei would often jump in front of people and shout, "Wanted mission!" But now, the arrows of the archers and the spells of the mages would bombard him without hesitation if he showed even half his head.

Clearly, the Young Master's elite team had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

"To win this confrontation, we must devise effective tactics," You Ge said, looking at Han Jia Gongzi.

Han Jia Gongzi nodded: "So, I have to rely on myself."

"..." Everyone was speechless again.

"Alright, let's go!" Han Jia Gongzi stood up with a heroic spirit, displaying his leadership style, "The mere Muyun Mercenary Group cannot stop my progress!"

"It's Muyun..." You Ge reminded him.

"Anyway, they will all be defeated by me. Their names are not worth remembering," Han Jia Gongzi said dismissively and walked out of the tavern booth.

"The Young Master is really amazing!" Yu Tian Shenming exclaimed, "No matter how strong the opponent, I have always been full of confidence in myself, but he can magically make my confidence disappear."

"No sense of security at all," Gu Fei nodded in agreement.

You Ge and Zhan Wu Shang remained silent. And as Han Jia Gongzi's closest comrade-in-arms, Jian Gui simply smiled faintly, then stood up and walked out of the booth second.

The remaining four stood up one after another and left the tavern one after another.

The number of people participating in the second round of the competition decreased sharply compared to the first round, and the teleportation array was opened three hours earlier. The competition would start promptly at seven o'clock at a unified time, instead of waiting for both sides to announce their readiness as yesterday. Players who had not entered the teleportation array by seven o'clock would be defaulted to not having participated in this round of the competition.

Because of this rule, many players entered the teleportation array early and conducted pre-war preparations and tactical arrangement meetings in the changing room. When the six members of the Young Master's elite team arrived at the mercenary square, there were not many people outside the teleportation array, and the six were quickly teleported into the changing room.

"There are still half an hour," Han Jia Gongzi looked at the time, then sat on the ground, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a wine bottle.

"Who wants some?" Han Jia Gongzi asked the five.

"You can have it all!" the five said.

"Don't be polite! I have more here." Han Jia Gongzi took out another bottle and showed it to the five.

The five still shook their heads, so Han Jia Gongzi ignored them and put one bottle away, opened another, and drank it himself.

You Ge was constantly paying attention to the number of members on the opposite side.

"55 people."

"Another one came, 56 people."

"57 now."

...

Finally, the number of the Muyun Mercenary Group reached 68, and then it did not change for five minutes. At this time, there were still three minutes before the start of the competition at seven o'clock.

"68 people, it seems that these are all the people from Muyun," You Ge announced the final result.

"That's quite a few," Han Jia Gongzi stood up, poured the remaining half of the wine in the bottle onto the ground very attentively, and threw away the empty bottle, "Prepare to set off. Keep the mercenary channel windows open."

With a flash of white light, the six were teleported into the battle map.

Han Jia Gongzi looked around the terrain and immediately said, "Jian Gui, Qianli, You Ge, Wu Shang. The four of you go to the four corners of the map along the map boundary, and then tell me the coordinates. You Ge and Wu Shang go to the near ones, and Qianli and Jian Gui go to the far ones."

The four turned and left, no one questioned. Questioning the commander on the battlefield is a big taboo. Unless you consider yourself invincible and have the ability to turn the tide with one hand, even if it's just a game, the overall situation may be affected by one person's recklessness.

"Yutian, in this operation, you are likely to become our unstable factor," Han Jia Gongzi said to Yu Tian Shenming.

"Why?" Yu Tian Shenming was stunned.

"If I tell you a coordinate, can you find it?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Yu Tian Shenming blushed. His terrible sense of direction was as well-known as his reputation as the number one mage.

"Follow me first!" Han Jia Gongzi led the way, taking Yu Tian Shenming into the woods on the side of a small hill. A moment later, Jian Gui and others had already sent back their reports.

"Coordinate 500, 500," Gu Fei said.

"Coordinate 0, 500," Jian Gui said.

"Coordinate 0, 0," This was Zhan Wu Shang.

"Coordinate 500, 0," You Ge said.

"Well, it's about the size of the map I estimated!" Han Jia Gongzi said, "Have you not been discovered? Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

While speaking, Han Jia Gongzi and Yu Tian Shenming had already arrived at the top of the small hill. Han Jia Gongzi looked up and murmured, "It's not as high as the hill over there, but it should be about the same if we get to the top of a tree!" Han Jia Gongzi walked around, finally stopped under a tree, looked up and observed the left and right, patted the tree trunk, and said to Yu Tian Shenming, "Come, give me a hand."

"Huh?" Yu Tian Shenming didn't understand what he was going to do.

Han Jia Gongzi pointed to the top of his head, "Go up."

"Climb a tree?" Yu Tian Shenming was stunned while helping Han Jia Gongzi. This charming, wine-loving playboy was quite nimble when he got down to business. Taking advantage of Yu Tian Shenming's push, he climbed onto the branches, and quickly climbed higher and higher.

"What are you doing?" Yu Tian Shenming shouted from under the tree.

"Don't shout loudly. Use messages to communicate when you're far away," Han Jia Gongzi was able to send messages while climbing the tree.

"What are you two doing?" The other four asked in the mercenary channel.

"Well, the view is okay!" Han Jia Gongzi exclaimed in the mercenary channel.

"What are you doing?" The other four didn't understand.

"Wu Shang, the opponents are heading towards you, moving towards 500, 0. Qianli, you are now in the enemy's rear, can you see them?"

"No," Gu Fei replied.

"Move towards 428, 427, there's a mound over there, do you see it?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"There is a mound, how do you know the coordinates?" Gu Fei asked as he walked over there.

"That's talent," Han Jia Gongzi smiled.

"Jian Gui, 29, 476 is a low-lying area, retreat to that side, move in the low-lying area, and update your coordinates at any time."

"Okay," Jian Gui also began to move.

"The people from Muyun are approaching our birthplace, Wu Shang, coordinates," Han Jia Gongzi said after a moment.

"59, 2. Also, it's Muyun!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"Do you see the wooden house at 35, 64?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"I see it. I'm going over there now."

"I'm not asking you to go there. The enemies are approaching that direction. Is there anywhere you can hide around you? Hide first. I can't see your side very clearly right now, damn it, there are a few trees blocking my view," Han Jia Gongzi cursed.

"Uh, there's a boulder."

"Hide, report the coordinates."

"54, 16," Zhan Wu Shang replied after hiding behind the stone.

Han Jia Gongzi adjusted his position on the tree and finally found a position where he could see the boulder.

"Well... it seems you can't hide, get ready for Whirlwind Slash. Kill as many as you can!" The main force of the Muyun Mercenary Group had arrived at the elite team's initial birthplace. After not finding the six members, they began to divide their members into groups and prepare a carpet search.

"8 people are heading in your direction, Wu Shang. It seems you will be the first to sacrifice for the team. Your comrades will remember you," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Damn it, you can't lose!" Zhan Wu Shang tightened his grip on the greatsword in his hand.

"Of course, get ready," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Zhan Wu Shang pointed his greatsword diagonally at the ground, already in the starting position of the Whirlwind Slash, waiting for the enemy to show their heads to catch them off guard.

"Damn it, we've been discovered, rush out quickly," Han Jia Gongzi shouted quickly.

Zhan Wu Shang had also discovered the sudden appearance of fire above his head. The enemy had obviously discovered someone behind the stone, didn't come over, and directly let the mages bombard this place with carpet bombing. Zhan Wu Shang roared and rushed out. Although he dodged the falling fire wheels above his head, his heart was filled with despair when he saw what was in front of him.

The opponent had already been wary of an ambush behind the stone, and they were all keeping their distance at this time. Zhan Wu Shang's rush directly exposed him to the enthusiastic gaze of 68 people. Arrows, spells... ranged attacks had all been summoned. No matter how high the defense and how much health a warrior had, they couldn't withstand such a concentrated attack.

Zhan Wu Shang didn't have the super-strong reaction and speed of Gu Fei or Xi Yao Wu. Although the greatsword he swung scattered two fireballs, it couldn't scatter them all, let alone the falling fire wheels above his head. In the fire and arrow light, Zhan Wu Shang began to turn into white light.

In the list of participating members, Zhan Wu Shang's name instantly dimmed, and the opponent had already won a point.

"You Ge, that place of yours is a bit conspicuous, move towards 468, 101, go behind that mound." With the situation unfavorable, Han Jia Gongzi began to speed up the rhythm of his command.

"Qianli, are you in position? Stay where you are."

The people from the Muyun Mercenary Group had now completed their grouping. Each group of eight people was heading towards the eight directions of the map. The remaining four were heading towards the highest point on the map.

"The opponent is about to occupy the high ground, Jian Gui, move towards 128, 412, there's a forest over there, be fast, sprint!"

"You Ge, two teams are moving in your direction, move towards the low-lying area at 399, 234, also be fast. A team at 178, 134 is heading in that direction, you have to get down to the low-lying area before them and slip away from the low-lying area."

"Qianli, there is an 8-person team moving directly towards you."

"That's great, I'll take care of them!" Gu Fei said.

"No, there is another team moving in the 12 o'clock direction nearby. If you fight them, your opponents will be 16 people!" Han Jia Gongzi said. "Move from behind the hill towards 426, 375. As for your speed, I don't need to worry about it, right?"

"Of course..." Gu Fei actually wanted to try fighting 16 people. But right now, it was a team activity, and he was first and foremost a member of the team.

"Uh, Yutian..." Yu Tian Shenming, who had been treated as air all along, finally received Han Jia Gongzi's first instruction.

"What?" Yu Tian Shenming was already bored. This operation really seemed to have nothing to do with him. Running to a position according to coordinates was very simple for ordinary people, but for someone with a terrible sense of direction, it was the most difficult thing in the world. Utilizing the terrain to deal with the enemy, how could that work without an excellent sense of direction? Letting Yu Tian Shenming do this, don't even mention not being able to figure out the enemy's position, he might get himself lost after circling around twice.

"The team moving in the 3 o'clock direction has entered the forest," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Yu Tian Shenming looked up, Han Jia Gongzi was hidden in the dense branches and could not be seen at all. The tree was indeed an excellent place to hide. It was a pity that the trees here were all extremely thick and tall. Without someone to help him up a little bit, there was no way to grab the upper branches that could be used for support.

"What do I do?" Yu Tian Shenming asked. Forests were actually quite suitable for professions like archers who mainly relied on sneak attacks, but Yu Tian Shenming's innate poor sense of direction restricted his development in this area. How could he maneuver with the enemy using the terrain without an excellent sense of direction? Letting Yu Tian Shenming do this, don't even mention not being able to figure out the enemy's position, he might get himself lost after circling around twice.

"Stand up, turn right, uh, okay, head in this direction, keep running!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Oh!" Yu Tian Shenming finally followed Han Jia Gongzi's instructions, crossed his bow, and ran out in the specified direction.

On the map, everyone was moving busily.
