Hu Die Lan

Chapter 88 Ninth Division

The 50 people left at the five resurrection points, along with the 30 outside the Cleric Academy, totaled 280. This was the minimum needed to reliably suppress the resurrection points. Jian Gui didn't want to move, nor could he afford to move, any of the manpower from this side.

With this portion of the force removed, Jian Gui's team, along with the 60-man squad that raided the dungeon, only mustered a force of about 180 when they converged at the north gate of Moonlit Night City. If the Qian Chen Guild combined their forces from both sides, their numbers would exceed 100. Jian Gui couldn't estimate how much numerical superiority could compensate for other deficiencies in a large-scale legion battle. After all, this was his first time encountering a battle of this scale in this parallel world.

But one thing was universally understood: the fewer the enemies, the more advantageous it was for them. Therefore, Jian Gui had to strike the enemy before they could unite their forces, which would greatly increase their chances of victory.

Unfortunately, the main force was advancing slowly, and classes like Thieves and Archers had to accommodate the speed of Warriors and Priests. In a large battlefield, every class was indispensable. Different classes having different movement speeds was a rarity in previous online games. At this moment, the Thieves and Archers in the team wished they could sprout extra legs for the Warriors and Priests.

Fortunately, as Jian Gui and the others hurried along, they never heard Yun Zhong Mu, who was responsible for surveillance, report that "the enemy has joined forces." Yun Zhong Mu excitedly told everyone, "Within a few hundred meters, the only large force I see is Jian Gui's."

"Excellent!" Jian Gui thought, the Qian Chen's 30-man squad must have been forced to take a roundabout route to avoid being detected, which wasted a lot of time.

Just then, Yun Zhong Mu suddenly sent a message: "Strange, I've been watching for a long time, but why isn't that Mang Mang de Mang Mang woman in this group? Has anyone seen her?" Yun Zhong Mu clearly held the deepest grudge against Mang Mang de Mang Mang. While leading the brothers to create a new life, he also wanted to take the opportunity to vent his personal anger.

"We haven't seen her here either!" came the message from the people guarding the Cleric Academy.

"Damn it, where did that woman go?"

"Women are women! As soon as they see a big scene, they run back to their blankets and hug their pillows, right?" someone mocked. There were clearly many people who resented Mang Mang de Mang Mang, not just Yun Zhong Mu.

Yun Zhong Mu frowned. He knew that Mang Mang de Mang Mang wasn't that simple. This person was actually very similar to Yun Zhong Mu and his brothers: passionate, bloodthirsty, and loyal. The only difference was that she was a woman and used fewer expletives.

Imagine if Yun Zhong Mu encountered such a scene, he would fight until he was completely broke before he would ever choose to escape or retreat. If he would do that, then Mang Mang de Mang Mang, who was cut from the same cloth, would definitely do the same.

"Guild Leader Jian Gui, not seeing that woman is just too abnormal. I think something's wrong," Yun Zhong Mu whispered to Jian Gui.

"How so?" Jian Gui was far behind Yun Zhong Mu in terms of understanding people, after all, this wasn't his own territory.

"That woman isn't one to back down. I'm still waiting to fight her to the death! Now that she's disappeared, I feel like there's a conspiracy," Yun Zhong Mu said.

"Who are their core members over there?" Jian Gui asked.

"Their second-in-command, Lan Yi, is here," Yun Zhong Mu said.

"Does their team seem to have very few Thieves?" Jian Gui suddenly thought of something.

Yun Zhong Mu was also taken aback. Could it be that the enemy had already gathered their forces, but the Thieves were using Stealth to create the illusion of fewer people? But after a closer look, that wasn't the case: "No, they have all the classes, the Thieves don't seem to be missing."

"Regardless, we're almost there, let's wipe out this team first!" Jian Gui said.

"Okay! Oh, wait!" Yun Zhong Mu suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Jian Gui had barely asked when he saw it himself. In the lowlands in the distance, countless Qian Chen players suddenly crawled out, scattering in all directions, in groups of twos and threes, even fighting on their own.

"They've all scattered, what the hell is going on?" Yun Zhong Mu roared.

They were already at a disadvantage in numbers, only by sticking together could they unleash more combat power. But at this moment, Qian Chen was doing the opposite, with a major battle imminent, they suddenly switched to breaking up into smaller units. What were they trying to do? With such a division, Jian Gui only needed to organize a few mobile squads of agile Thieves and Archers to quickly eliminate most of them! Watching the clumsy Warriors and Priests of Qian Chen running across the plains, Jian Gui really couldn't figure out what these guys were thinking.

"Guild Leader Jian Gui, let's go! Killing one is still a win!" someone suggested beside Jian Gui, seeing that he was slightly hesitant. Looking at the Qian Chen players scattered all over the mountains and fields, these guys were all swallowing nervously.

Now was indeed not the time to hesitate. Jian Gui nodded, waved his hand, and roared, "Kill!"

"Kill!" everyone shouted in unison. Instantly, Thieves sprinted all over the ground, and Archers filled the sky with arrows. These two classes became the main force of the chase, while Mages occasionally threw a few fireballs, and Warriors and Priests became a solid rearguard.

Jian Gui bravely took the lead, catching up to a guy and delivering a Backstab.

Although the Qian Chen players were outstanding in the eyes of Yun Zhong Mu and his bandits, they were still a step behind Jian Gui. The opponent turned around to counterattack, but Jian Gui quickly landed two critical hits, already taking the opponent down.

"Guild Leader Jian Gui, you're too awesome!" everyone shouted in unison. Jian Gui had taken down a Warrior, a class that countered Thieves. Most Thieves would at most touch a Warrior and then disappear like the wind. Warriors had high defense and health, and it was difficult for Thieves to deal effective physical damage in a head-on fight. To deal effective physical damage to Warriors, it was essential to have high critical hit equipment like Jian Gui.

Jian Gui waved to everyone to acknowledge their praise and pounced towards the next target.

Jian Gui wasn't blindly chopping at any Warrior he could find, he only made his decision after using Appraisal on the target. There was still a risk involved. If the Warrior turned around and used Whirlwind Slash, it would be very dangerous. This was currently the skill with the greatest killing power, and because of Rage, its duration was unpredictable. A Thief would definitely die if they were hit. Currently, only Gu Fei, with his freakish skills, considered Whirlwind Slash to be a rigid and easily avoidable skill.

After Jian Gui killed a Warrior and boosted everyone's morale, he then pounced on a Mage.

Morale was also important in online games. Of course, it was impossible to stimulate any potential, but at least, bloodthirsty violent people weren't afraid of death and were eager to be the first to charge forward.

The faster classes of Qian Chen could escape, but the Priests and Warriors couldn't escape death. The more Jian Gui killed, the more confused he became, unable to understand what Qian Chen's move was intended to achieve.

Just then, news suddenly came from Moonlit Night City: a squad of about thirty people had appeared in the Archer's Practice Grounds.

"What the hell is this skill!" This was the next cry that the players stationed at the Archer's Practice Grounds quickly sent. Then, a minute later, the bad news came: total annihilation!

"How is that possible!" Jian Gui and the others were greatly surprised. Outside the Archer's Camp was also a 50-man team. Even if they couldn't defeat the opponent's 30-man squad, they shouldn't have been annihilated so quickly with a numerical advantage.

In this way, the suppression of one resurrection point had essentially failed. Most of the players stationed here were Thieves, a class that countered Archers. A large number of Thieves were resurrecting at the Thieves Guild. This was one of the closest points to the Archer's Practice Grounds, and with so many reinforcements, there was no need to worry so much about that extraordinary 30-man squad.

But the Cleric Academy, which was also not far from the Archer's Practice Grounds, now had only 30 people left to guard it.

"The Cleric Academy team withdraws and moves towards the Warrior Camp, quickly!" While giving instructions to the city, Jian Gui gathered the team members who were scattered in all directions on the plains. At this moment, Jian Gui realized that it was not easy to regroup this team that had already been scattered like sheep, at least, it would take time!

Could this be what the opponent wanted! Jian Gui's heart trembled.

At this moment, another report came from the city: "Qian Chen players have uniformly started to log on!"

"Damn it, everyone hurry up, stop killing here, there's a big problem in the city!" Yun Zhong Mu was also anxious, directly abandoning the chat channel and howling like a wolf king in the wilderness.

"There's a problem!" Jian Gui quickly sent a message to Han Jia Gong Zi, "What are you guys doing?"

"What's the matter? I'm drinking!" Han Jia Gong Zi replied.

"Damn you!" Jian Gui had clearly been in contact with Yun Zhong Mu and the others a bit too much.

"An early, unaccounted-for detachment suddenly appeared and took down the Archer's Practice Grounds in a minute," Jian Gui said.

"Impossible, how many people did you leave at the Archer's Practice Grounds? They were taken down in a minute?" Han Jia Gong Zi was also surprised.

"50 people!" Jian Gui said, "Now their movements are unknown!"

"Nonsense! They took the Archer's Practice Grounds, where else could they go!" Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"The Warrior Camp!!!" Jian Gui instantly reacted as well. The advantage of class counters wasn't something only Jian Gui and the others knew how to use. The opponent must have understood Jian Gui's strategy of using class counters to suppress the resurrection points. Now that a large number of Archers had been freed, they would naturally attack the classes that Archers countered. That place was the Warrior Camp. The 50-man team outside the Warrior Camp was mainly composed of Mages, who were countered by Archers.

"Thieves Guild, newly resurrected Thieves quickly head to the Warrior Camp." Jian Gui quickly ordered. He was glad that he had also transferred the guards from the Cleric Camp to the Warrior Camp.

"What's going on?" Yun Zhong Mu quickly came over to ask.

Jian Gui explained the situation, and Yun Zhong Mu immediately reacted: "Sprint, everyone sprint!"

"Those who just lost a level and respawned can't sprint," Jian Gui reminded Yun Zhong Mu.

"Damn it!" Yun Zhong Mu cursed, "Where did these awesome 30 people come from? Did they secretly assemble them?"

Jian Gui didn't think so. If they had merged from two routes and then gathered these 30 people to rush to the Archer's Practice Grounds, then they could have organized even more people to go there, there was no need to create a 30-man elite team. These 30 people were the 30 people guarding the dungeon entrance. However, how could the combat power of these 30 people be so outstanding, it was really incomprehensible.
