Chapter 128 Strategy

The six of them went to the tavern in a grand fashion.

In this battle, Zhan Wushang showed off enough in front of the ladies, earning enough points. He also realized that Gu Fei's existence wasn't as terrifying as he and Yu Tian Shen Ming had imagined, putting him in a great mood.

Although Yu Tian Shen Ming had become a lost youth who fell into a ditch, the subsequent Eternal skill scroll somewhat soothed his heart. Although he was initially resentful because it was for mages, he and Zhan Wushang shared the Eternal resource that was Gu Fei's presence in the girls' hearts. Discovering this, he felt even more comforted.

As for the other four, the mercenary group had won another battle, and someone was buying drinks. These two reasons were enough to make them happy.

In summary, this round of drinks was incredibly enjoyable.

Gu Fei held back somewhat, as there was still a guild war to fight later. Having learned from Jian Gui's experience, everyone knew that there was such a thing as being drunk in the game.

But seeing the others, it seemed they had completely disregarded the upcoming match, drinking heartily without any restraint. Gu Fei sighed inwardly, thinking that being in a large guild was great because you didn't have to bear so much responsibility. If he were to pass out now, the Rebirth Crystal guild would lose fifty percent of its combat power in the next match.

With half an hour left before the start of the guild tournament, the group was at the peak of their drinking, with no intention of leaving.

Gu Fei helpfully reminded them, "Hey, the next match is about to start." Having reached the fourth round, half of the guilds had been eliminated time and again. There was no need to wait in line at the teleportation array to enter the arena. Just manage your time and don't be late.

You Ge and Jian Gui were expressionless, as they were lone wolves without guilds.

Han Jia Gongzi raised his glass, giving Gu Fei a meaningful look. Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat, as he remembered that Han Jia Gongzi and the others had been personally eliminated by Gu Fei yesterday.

Turning his gaze to the next person, Zhan Wushang glared and said, "My guild was eliminated long ago!" Zhan Wushang's guild was called Warrior's Home, a play-oriented enthusiast club. The guild wasn't large, the distribution of professions within the guild was extremely uneven, and the members lacked a domineering spirit. In short, they had everything a strong guild shouldn't have, and lacked everything they should have. Plus, without a speedster like Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu to save them, they were eliminated by a second-rate guild in the second round of the tournament.

The last one was Yu Tian Shen Ming, who was caressing his skill scroll, mentally calculating.

"Yu Tian, aren't you going to the guild match?" Gu Fei asked.

Yu Tian Shen Ming hesitated. In a large guild like Zong Heng Si Hai, one more or one less person didn't matter at all.

"You're in luck today, maybe you can get another scroll?" Gu Fei said.

Yu Tian Shen Ming immediately stood up, "Let's go!"

At this time, the girls on Gu Fei's side had also started calling. Rebirth Crystal always gathered half an hour before the start of the match, and then Qi Yue would give an introduction to the opponents. Although this introduction had nothing to do with the tactics that would be used later, the girls all wished to deepen their understanding of the other side to increase their chances of winning. But when it came to understanding, it had to be mentioned that the girls' understanding was also one-sided and far from You Ge's intelligence. They always missed the point, and a pleasant name often attracted more of their attention.

Hurrying to the teleportation array and entering the battlefield, the fifty girls gathered together, glaring at Gu Fei.

"Hi!" Gu Fei casually greeted them, finding a corner to lie low…

Qi Yue began to introduce the opponents, "Yun Mu Guild, level four, 500 members, guild leader Yun Zhong Mu Di, is a warrior and also very high in the warrior level rankings."

"Oh…" Gu Fei already felt familiar with the name. Qi Yue continued to introduce, "It must be mentioned that the Mu Yun Mercenary Group, which belongs to the Yun Mu Guild, was defeated by Gongzi's Elite Group. Everyone knows this, right!"

All the girls said "Oh" while looking at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei smiled sheepishly.

"I hope Comrade Qian Li will treat them as cruelly as you treated us just now," Qi Yue said seriously.

"Of course, of course, treat the enemy like a cold winter," Gu Fei declared.

"Then should you treat your companions with the warmth of spring? Let us see it," Luo Luo said.

"Continue with the intelligence," Gu Fei said.

As the guild leader, Qi Yue was still very steady, not joining Luo Luo in leading the crowd to tease him, but focusing on the overall situation and continuing to introduce the Yun Mu Guild's situation, which was nothing more than how many high-level people there were, and the number of people in each profession. Compared to You Ge, who directly pointed out certain special figures to pay attention to, Qi Yue's intelligence was really superficial.

She talked for a while, but with only five minutes left before the match started, she took a look at the number of people entering the arena on the other side, which was still stuck at the initial 50 people.

The girls were puzzled, but until they were teleported to the match map, the 500-member Yun Mu Guild was still only 50 strong. On the Rebirth Crystal side, with Gu Fei, they had one more person, at 51.

"What's going on?" the girls discussed.

Gu Fei, however, understood. At this moment, he completely understood Han Jia Gongzi's overall strategic plan.

The 500-member Yun Mu Guild only sent 50 people, which was obviously not because 450 people were offline and unable to attend. This was intentional.

The reason? They were scared by the tactic named "Large Kite" on the forums.

The mercenary group under the Yun Mu Guild had fallen victim to this tactic. And this round's guild opponent happened to be the one who used this tactic to defeat the second-largest guild, Dui Jiu Dang Ge, yesterday. How could the Yun Mu Guild not be nervous?

So they decisively decided that they couldn't suffer this kind of loss again in this round. After a detailed investigation of Rebirth Crystal, they also knew that this guild was actually very small, but it had a ridiculously strong Xi Yao Wu. The experience gained from the guild and mercenary battles in the past few days had sent Xi Yao Wu to the throne of level 42, now the only one of its kind, the number one expert on the Parallel World level rankings.

In addition, it was heard that there was also a man in this pure-beauty guild. Everyone subconsciously thought that such an unconventional existence must have some extraordinary ability, and they should pay more attention to him. Apart from that, Yun Mu reluctantly selected a few characters from Rebirth Crystal to introduce as key figures. To be honest, these people would definitely be at the bottom if they came to Yun Mu, but now they were actually receiving this kind of treatment. The Yun Mu Guild was indeed a bit paranoid.

But no matter what, to prevent the Large Kite tactic, they only chose 50 people to fight. From this moment on, they had completely fallen into Han Jia Gongzi's strategic trap.

This was a carefully arranged plan, and now it was actually benefiting Rebirth Crystal first. This feeling of working for someone else… Gu Fei conducted an interview with Han Jia Gongzi on this issue.

"If I were you, I would intentionally lose this match to the Yun Mu Guild, so that my strategy would be even more perfect," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"…"

"Of course, I know you definitely won't agree, so kill as much as you can, let them feel the pressure and gap in strength!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"In addition, cover your face! Don't let them know you're from our mercenary group, it's good for the mercenary group," Han Jia Gongzi finally suggested.

Covering his face was no big deal. Gu Fei immediately took out a black cloth and tied it around his face, but it quickly attracted the attention of the girls.

"What are you doing?" the girls asked.

"This is strategy, you wouldn't understand," Gu Fei waved his hand.

"Tsk!!!" The girls booed in unison.

"The number of opponents is the same as ours, everyone don't run around, let's go and fight them together!" Gu Fei suggested.

"Okay, okay!" The girls agreed, and several of the faster runners also slowed down to take care of the crowd.

"Xi, come back, the organization has decided to advance together," Gu Fei sent a message to Xi Yao Wu.

"When did you decide?" Xi Yao Wu replied.

"Just now," Gu Fei said.

"Damn, you should have said so earlier, I already saw the enemies," Xi Yao Wu ran back in frustration.

The group of girls gathered together looked a bit imposing, but they were a bit noisy.

After walking a few meters, the girls suddenly realized, "Since we don't need to spread out and charge, why do we need to walk? Why don't we just wait here for them to come over?"

This suggestion was unanimously supported, so they stopped on the spot, lined up, and waited for their opponents to come over.

Before long, the Yun Mu Guild's 50-man army marched over valiantly. With the mentality of sharing glory and shame, the Yun Mu Guild would never let anyone be singled out by the opponent to score points in this match.

"Kill!" Seeing the opponents right in front of them, the Yun Mu people boosted their morale and charged up as a group.

"Archers, mages!" Qi Yue called out.

The archers of Rebirth Crystal stood out and shot randomly at the opposite side.

The archers of the Yun Mu Guild, who were at the forefront, also launched an offensive, shooting very orderly.

The results of the exchange were quickly apparent. Two of Rebirth Crystal's girls quickly fell. The quality was poor, and without coordination, they couldn't match the elite members selected from 500 people. The priests started working harder, and the two sides seemed evenly matched. But it was clear that the workload of the priests on Rebirth Crystal's side was much greater. Even so, there were still some who fell without being rescued in time.

The distance between the two sides was further reduced, and they had entered the attack range of the mages. The mages on both sides came out together, preparing to chant.

The gap was reflected once again.

At this time, the archers on both sides adjusted their attack targets and began to shoot at the mages to interrupt their chanting. Although several archers on Rebirth Crystal's side had fallen, the remaining ones were doing the same.

However, the warrior class on the Yun Mu Guild side had already rushed out, preparing to block the opponent's arrows in front of the mages, and the priests also began to work harder.

The Rebirth Crystal side lacked a relative awareness, and only reacted when they saw the other side doing this. In the ever-changing battle situation, how could they allow this moment of hesitation? By the time they thought of it, the battlefield was already moving on to the next stage.

The masked black-clad man in the exposed mage formation attracted the attention of the Yun Mu Guild.

"The style is quite unique, what kind of trick is he playing?" The Yun Mu people thought to themselves, but they didn't pay too much attention, and continued to do what they were supposed to do. The Yun Mu Guild's coordination was seamless, and in an instant, several archers had allocated their targets.

Fortunately, Gu Fei had expected this situation, and shouted "That someone," before calmly chanting, "Fire trees with thousands of flames, rise! Fiery wheels descend, fall!"

Amidst the overlapping chanting of the two sides, the archers' arrows had already flown out. The Yun Mu side was of course not worried, but the mages on Rebirth Crystal's side were interrupted one after another. However, Xi Yao Wu rushed out at the fastest speed and blocked Gu Fei, knocking down the arrows that could be knocked down, and blocking those that couldn't be knocked down directly with her body. With good equipment and high defense, Xi Yao Wu wouldn't die even if she took a few arrows.

At this time, the girls of Rebirth Crystal had already begun to scatter to avoid the spells, becoming a mess.

But there was peace and tranquility in the Yun Mu Guild. Only Gu Fei had successfully completed his chanting. A mere one person's spell was not to be feared. This was a very mature judgment. The Yun Mu Guild people moved forward without hesitation, taking advantage of the chaos to take down Rebirth Crystal in one fell swoop.

Even when fiery wheels flashed in the sky and flames rose from the ground, they didn't waver at all, only the priests waved their staffs faster.

Then…

When Gu Fei's two spells were perfectly presented, several people in the Yun Mu Guild suddenly felt very empty.

Why did the perfect formation jointly built by 50 people suddenly become so empty?

Where were the companions who were just next to them?

In front? Behind? Left? Right? They couldn't find them anywhere, and the most they saw was a blaze of fire.

What awakened everyone was the system god, who was always aware and kept a clear head.

Constantly reminding them, and finally announcing the current score ratio between the Yun Mu Guild and Rebirth Crystal: 14 to 36.

The girls of Rebirth Crystal cheered in the midst of their embarrassment. The people of the Yun Mu Guild were inexplicably astonished.

"Let's go!" Gu Fei pushed Xi Yao Wu's back.

Xi Yao Wu nodded and leaped out. Gu Fei followed closely behind. The girls who had run away in a mess just now also began their signature spread-out attack.

Gu Fei's spell was dropped in the middle of the Yun Mu Guild's formation, cutting it into two on the left and right. Even so, the two groups were still very neatly aligned. The Yun Mu Guild's team spirit was indeed excellent.

But before they could recover, Xi Yao Wu and Gu Fei, who had rushed in from the left and right, had already begun their massacre.

The score was constantly being refreshed. By the time the other girls in the scattered formation arrived, half of the remaining members of the Yun Mu Guild had been taken care of by Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu. After that, Gu Fei, who had run out of mana, retreated to eat bananas, and Xi Yao Wu's speed also decreased after her rapid movements. But with the absolute advantage in numbers, the girls were not at a disadvantage at all.

The people of Yun Mu fell one after another, and finally only the last one remained, their guild leader, who was also the leader of the Mu Yun Mercenary Group, Yun Zhong Mu Di.

Experts should naturally have the demeanor of experts. Facing the encirclement of dozens of people, Yun Zhong Mu Di was very calm. The defeat could not be reversed, and sadness was useless. At this time, Yun Zhong Mu Di was preoccupied with the masked man in black.

The clothes looked familiar, and he hadn't had time to take a closer look at the weapon in his hand, but it seemed to be a sword? If that was the case… Yun Zhong Mu Di tried hard to find Gu Fei's figure in the crowd. But after Gu Fei retreated to eat bananas, he was stacked behind the crowd by the girls.

Just as he was regretting, he suddenly heard someone in the opposing crowd shout, "Leave this one to me!" Then he saw the masked man rush from behind the crowd to the front and stand in front of Yun Zhong Mu Di.

The mask was still there, but it wasn't black clothes. The identification result showed that it was a burning mage robe, and the weapon in his hand was not a sword, but a blade. The identification showed that it was the Baptism of Flames.

Did I see it wrong? Yun Zhong Mu Di wondered, but then he thought and immediately asked, "Why are you covering your face?"

"It's a tactic!" Gu Fei said.

"A tactic?"

Gu Fei nodded, said no more, and raised his body to swing the blade.

Yun Zhong Mu Di took a slight step back, his hands hanging down.

Is it Whirlwind Slash! Gu Fei thought to himself. Even at this stage of the battle, Yun Zhong Mu Di still had rage points to release Whirlwind Slash. His combat experience was undeniably rich.

Yun Zhong Mu Di's characteristic use of Whirlwind Slash was to activate the skill when he was far away from his opponent, making it impossible for them to interrupt it first. The defect was also because the distance was far, the skill was activated too early and could be easily dodged.

As an expert, how could Gu Fei not see through this trick? He immediately feinted forward, wanting to lure Yun Zhong Mu Di to activate the skill, dodge it himself, and then calmly kill him after his skill stopped.

Yun Zhong Mu Di was indeed deceived by Gu Fei's feint, and was about to use the skill. Gu Fei saw it clearly and was already preparing to retreat when an even faster figure appeared behind Yun Zhong Mu Di, waving a big stick and smashing it on Yun Zhong Mu Di's head in a circle.

Yun Zhong Mu Di's movements stopped abruptly. The person put away the big stick and smiled at Gu Fei, "We're fighting a group, do you think it's a one-on-one fight!"

Gu Fei smiled helplessly and waved to the girls, "Let's all come together!"

Fireballs, arrows, Gu Fei's blade, Xi Yao Wu's dagger, and Yun Zhong Mu Di's white light formed the final scene of this tournament.

Outside the guild hall, the people of the Yun Mu Guild were dejected. Yun Zhong Mu Di being teleported out meant that they had finally lost this match as well.

"Damn, I was ambushed, I thought it was a one-on-one fight!" Yun Zhong Mu Di was depressed. He had been presumptuous before he died, he thought Xi Yao Wu's words were said to him.

Before long, the victorious Rebirth Crystal was also sent to the teleportation array outside the guild hall after the system completed the settlement and distributed the rewards.

Yun Zhong Mu Di had been staring in this direction for a long time. As soon as the people of Rebirth Crystal showed up, he immediately came over to greet them, "Hey, that brother."

Gu Fei turned a deaf ear and ran away, waving his sleeves. His speed was so fast that it completely cut off Yun Zhong Mu Di's thoughts of chasing after him. He had no choice but to ask the girls of Rebirth Crystal, "What's that brother's name?"

The girls looked at each other. Obviously, just like the people of Dui Jiu Dang Ge, they realized Gu Fei's high spell damage and had the intention of recruiting him.

"What are you doing! He's from our guild, what do you want to do?" Xi Yao Wu directly pointed out the other party's wolfish ambitions.

Yun Zhong Mu Di didn't take it to heart at all, and said with a smile, "Just want to get to know him."

"What's there to know, who doesn't know what you're thinking! Go, go, go!" Xi Yao Wu drove Yun Zhong Mu Di away.

Yun Zhong Mu Di wasn't angry either, and returned to his own guild helplessly, saying to a few members, "Find out about that mage! The only male player in Rebirth Crystal, it shouldn't be hard to find out, right?"

"I've never heard of him before!" someone responded. The fact that there was a pure female guild like Rebirth Crystal in Yun Duan City was well known to many people after the Bu Xiao incident, but the fact that this guild also hid a male player was only recently known.

"Uh, ask the opponents they encountered in the previous matches, the news probably came from these places," Yun Zhong Mu Di said, "Maybe someone will recognize him among them."

Speaking of this, Yun Zhong Mu Di suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Damn, when I asked the people of Dui Jiu Dang Ge about how they lost the last match, they didn't mention there was such an awesome mage, damn they had this idea in mind early on. Damn, act fast, everyone in the guild go and find out!"

The people of the Yun Mu Guild hurried to inquire in all directions, and every corner of Yun Duan City instantly began to transmit legends about a masked man in black again.
