Chapter 1 The Plan to Overthrow Qian Chen is Underway

The plan to overthrow Qian Chen was being implemented in an orderly manner. Counting personnel, forming groups, studying routes, and conducting field investigations all took time.

Yun Zhongmu and the others were all veterans, so they didn't need Jian Gui to direct them every step of the way. However, there was one thing to worry about: the plan had to be carried out discreetly. If Qian Chen became aware of it, everything would be in vain. But Yun Zhongmu and the others patted their chests and guaranteed that their guild brothers were absolutely trustworthy.

Conversely, Qian Chen's guild had moles planted by Jian Gui's group, who were constantly feeding back information. The members of Qian Chen were leveling up, doing quests, and having a great time, completely unaware that a vast net was being cast towards them.

An hour later, the selection of personnel was completed, and everyone gathered again in Liu Xia's house, reporting the members who could participate in the battle.

"Mu Yun Guild, 74 people: 13 warriors, 11 mages, 11 archers, 10 priests, 14 thieves, 10 knights, 5 martial artists." Led by Yun Zhongmu, everyone reported their members one by one, and Liu Xia recorded and tallied the numbers. The number of members in each guild varied, and after the final count, there were a total of 465 people.

83 warriors, 76 mages, 79 archers, 65 priests, 80 thieves, 61 knights, and 21 martial artists.

Seeing these numbers, Jian Gui breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a little worried that the final composition of the members would be missing one or even two classes, which would make it impossible to implement the plan of suppression using class counters. Now it seemed that Yun Zhongmu and the others were indeed veteran players. The composition of the guild members was "rather be short than shoddy," and from the very beginning, they paid attention to the balance of the number of members in each class. Except for the martial artist class, which had a smaller overall number, the other six classes were relatively even.

The martial artist class itself didn't have any problems, but because the range of motion during combat was too large, ordinary people needed some time to adapt. After the official friendly reminder was added, due to the uniqueness of the accounts, many people cautiously did not choose this class. In fact, the level 30 players simply didn't have access to the kind of earth-shattering skills that martial artists could use. This made many players who envied the martial artists' combos complain, believing that the official was being too alarmist.

"That's all the people we have for now," Yun Zhongmu said to Jian Gui. "We've brought in everyone we could who wasn't online."

This was another advantage of Jian Gui and the others' thorough pre-war preparations: they could specifically call in people who weren't online. This alone helped them add more than 50 people. Qian Chen, on the other hand, was still in the dark. If they waited until the battle started to go offline and call for people, it would be much less certain.

Next was the grouping, which seemed simple but was actually a lot of work. After all, they couldn't gather all 465 people together for distribution, as that would be too conspicuous. So they could only do it on paper. Just listing the names of more than 400 people was a great undertaking, not to mention noting their class and level. Zhu Xian even asked if they should list the equipment, which earned him a beating from everyone. Yun Zhongmu beat him the hardest—he had the most people and the most work.

This work took another hour, and finally, they divided into six groups, one more than the initially calculated five groups. Jian Gui had initially calculated based on 400 people, and an 80-person squad was enough to quickly wipe out a team of 40 or fewer people. Now there were 465 people, and dividing them into six groups resulted in 77 people, only three fewer than 80, which wasn't a big problem.

As a result, the situation became even simpler, and everyone became more excited.

Finally, the actual operation of assigning members to groups began. To prevent leaks, no one was shouting in the guild channel; instead, they were all communicating privately, one by one.

"xxx, add xxx as a friend and listen to his commands later." This one message was sent out individually, and in between, they had to deal with some members responding and asking questions, which made several people dizzy. Zhu Xian was happy once again, as he had the fewest people; Yun Zhongmu was miserable once again, as he had the most people.

"Everyone, hang in there!" Jian Gui said sympathetically.

By the time they finished this, the guild leaders were pale.

"I'm about to throw up!" Yun Zhongmu said. "I never thought private messaging could be so tiring."

"Now, is everything ready?" Jian Gui asked.

"Jian Gui, you don't want us to confirm everything again, do you?" one person wailed.

"The leaders of each team just need to confirm the people they're taking with them," Jian Gui said.

"Stop the crap! Confirm everything again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so get your damn spirits up." Yun Zhongmu spoke. He was also one of the team leaders, and since he had stated his position, no one else could object. They could only open their friend lists again and privately message the members of their own team, one by one, according to the list compiled by Liu Xia.

Several people who didn't have to be team leaders were now idle, winking at the six team leaders who were privately messaging, as if watching monkeys being played.

With this done, all the preparations were completed. Everyone looked solemn. After working so hard for so long, whether they could deliver a thunderous blow would depend on what happened next. Everyone gritted their teeth, their fighting spirit soaring.

"Then, prepare to move out!" Jian Gui said.

Everyone nodded, shook hands, and patted each other on the shoulders.

"Damn it, let's go!" Yun Zhongmu roared. The group left Liu Xia's house heroically.

"Qian Li, leave Youye Valley," Jian Gui sent a message to Gu Fei.

"Oh?" Gu Fei was puzzled, as he still knew nothing about this plan.

"We're going to take down Qian Chen," Jian Gui said.

"That's awesome?" Gu Fei replied as he began to move out of Youye Valley. "What's going on?"

"I'll explain it in detail later! Be careful!" Jian Gui said.

"The coordinates have moved!! The coordinates of 27149 have moved!!" Many people in Qian Chen's guild noticed Gu Fei's shift when the bounty mission coordinates refreshed.

Mang Mang De Mang Mang also knew this and immediately sent a message to Han Jia Gongzi: "It's moving!"

"I know," Han Jia Gongzi replied. "Get ready quickly."

"No problem!" Mang Mang De Mang Mang replied, then gave an order in the guild.

Qian Chen had already completed the allocation of personnel to guard the 10 points. After seeing Gu Fei's coordinates move, some people had consciously rushed to the positions they were responsible for. At this time, with Mang Mang De Mang Mang's order, all the Qian Chen members in Yueye City were in action, surging towards the nine locations in Yueye City from all directions.

"The team in Youye Valley shouldn't rush. Wait until 27149 leaves Youye Valley a certain distance before going back to block him. If anyone encounters him on the road, pretend nothing happened!" Mang Mang De Mang Mang emphasized.

Gu Fei, carrying Nuo Fu Jiu Xing, charged out of Youye Valley. The place where the two of them camped and ate grilled meat was a place in the valley with relatively few monster spawns. By timing the respawn of several monsters, Gu Fei was able to cope with ease. If he really found a dense place to farm, Gu Fei wouldn't have learned any AoE spells, and since he didn't add any intelligence, his mana couldn't withstand long-term consumption. Therefore, although the current Gu Fei had the strength to fight monsters in Youye Valley, his efficiency in leveling up here wasn't optimistic.

Even so, Gu Fei had still squatted in Youye Valley for nearly seven hours. He was happily killing monsters, eating meat, and even more happily listening to Gu Fei talk about kung fu with a kung fu enthusiast next to him. Those seven hours had been really enjoyable. The moment he walked out of Youye Valley, Gu Fei looked back somewhat reluctantly.

"Is everyone in position, is everyone in position?" Mang Mang De Mang Mang in Qian Chen's guild was understanding the battle situation on all sides.

"Archery Range in position!"

"Warrior Camp in position!"

"Thieves' Guild in position!"

"..."

Messages kept coming. The same was true for Qian Chen's guild and Jian Gui's group. Everyone's spirits lifted when the last sentence, "Youye Valley is blocked," came.

"Start the killing!" Han Jia Gongzi said to Mang Mang De Mang Mang.

"Good luck!" Mang Mang De Mang Mang replied, completely unaware of the second meaning in Han Jia Gongzi's sentence, "Start the killing!"

"Start the killing!" Jian Gui said to the group of brothers he had just met, which was precisely the second meaning.

The Qian Chen guild players at the Yueye City resurrection point noticed that many people were gathering around them in a scattered manner. They didn't pay attention. Qian Chen was carrying out such a large-scale operation, so many people would be curious, and of course, many people would be watching. At this time, they were very proud.

However, when these quietly gathered "spectators" suddenly waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards them, these people realized that something was wrong.

By the time they felt something was wrong, half of them had already disappeared.

Jian Gui's estimate of the number of people in Qian Chen's groups was too high. Qian Chen only had 30 people stationed at each point in Yueye City.

In a 77-on-30 battle, the numbers were enough to make up for the differences in other aspects.

Different combat scenes were unfolding in front of different resurrection points.

Outside the Thieves' Guild, a large group of warriors, disregarding the attacks, stomped on the ground with a loud bang, arriving like thunder.

Outside the Mage Academy, sudden arrows shot at the Qian Chen members, making them unable to find their bearings.

Outside the Archery Range, the Qian Chen members suddenly screamed one after another, and countless thieves appeared around them, waving the daggers in their hands.

Outside the Warrior Camp, the mages held up their right hands, and countless fire wheels descended from the sky, turning the area outside the camp gate into a sea of fire. Because there was an extra group, the Warrior Camp ultimately enjoyed the priority of being attacked.

In addition, the Knight Camp and the Martial Arts Hall were also captured in the blink of an eye, but the style of attack wasn't as obvious.

The initial battle was a great victory, but the real battle had just begun, and whether everything would proceed as planned was still unknown.
