Chapter 1492: Fearless’s Ploy
In <>, there was no restriction on when a challenge could be issued to another guild. Although Sanguine Alliance’s hands were tied, Quan Zhen Sect was perfectly able.
Upon receiving this piece of news, Captain Don’t Open Fire and his subordinates were taken aback.
“F*ck them. They dared to backstab us?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire was not a fool. When he received the system notification, he recognised the dirty tricks that Sanguine Warflag had played and berated him.
“So what!” Sanguine Warflag smiled back at him cheekily, “You guys are against the Quan Zhen Sect this time. It is still three days too early to determine if my guild headquarters will be taken away by your Void Blade. In other words, you are going down with me.”
As Sanguine Warflag spoke those words that were laced with threat, he glared menacingly at Sanguine Rain and the others.
Sanguine Rain had a blackened face that was expressionless. However, one could deduce that this man was filled with rage.
“Hehe!” Captain Don’t Open Fire coldly harrumphed, “Threatening me?”
As he spoke, Captain Don’t Open Fire pointed to the window of the bar declaring, “Do you think I will really take the bait and fall for your empty threats? Take a look out the window, I simply don’t believe that the Quan Zhen Sect can enter this place and kill me!”
“Is that so?” Sanguine Warflag turned his head into the direction where Captain Don’t Open Fire was pointing. The entire Middle Street was completely filled with almost ten thousand experts from Void Blade.
“How interesting!” Sanguine Warflag gently smiled, “Luckily, we aren’t short on manpower.”
“???”
Before Captain Don’t Open Fire could react, there was a blinding white light that emanated from the rooftop. In an instant, the rooftop was also filled with reinforcements from Sanguine Alliance.
Captain Don’t Open Fire received a critical update from Big Bear Deng Deng An, “Boss, things are not looking too good. We are surrounded.”
“Let’s withdraw!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire decisively ordered Sanguine Rain and the others to carry out his orders.
Being a professional expert with a honed battle sense, Fist of Heaven immediately sprang into action and threw the barkeeper a bag full of gold coins. He barged through the main door of the bar as his comrades scampered behind him.
As Sanguine Rain and the other members took out the weapons to guard themselves, Sanguine Warflag’s group did not dare to stop them… In actual fact, they had no intention to restrict them because Sanguine Warflag knew there was no way that Captain Don’t Open Fire could get out of this predicament.
Once Captain Don’t Open Fire and his group made their way outside the bar, the scene already devolved into a chaotic mess.
The players from Void Blade and the players from Sanguine Alliance on the rooftop were engaged in battle.
Although Void Blade held the superiority in numbers, there was a gap in the quality of players between the two guilds. In this previous conflict, Void Blade was able to resist the players from Sanguine Alliance because they had a favourable terrain.
This time, on Middle Street, it was Sanguine Alliance’s home turf. Furthermore, these players had occupied a high ground which allowed them to easily suppress the players from Void Blade.
Streaks of white light that illuminated the street and there was a gradual decrease in Void Blade members on the battlefield.
Although Middle Street was nearby to the resurrection point, the Sanguine Alliance had already stopped fallen players from returning to the battlefield by forming a blockade.
Fearless was even more fearsome than w.a.n.g Yu in such a scenario.
Although w.a.n.g Yu was fearsome and ruthless, he was someone that would listen to reason.
On the other hand, Fearless was cunning and vicious in his methods.
Only he could think of such a ploy to lure the players from Void Blade to Middle Street so that he could completely annihilate them.
These players from Void Blade were salaried workers. As long as their boss did not allow them to withdraw, they could only follow orders to continue sending themselves to their deaths. Their experience bar was being depleted.
As Captain Don’t Open Fire a.s.sessed battle, he was anxious and hurriedly pa.s.sed down an order, “Don’t congregate in Middle Street. Use the two exits to escape.”
The moment the order was pa.s.sed down, all the players ran in either direction as fast as they could, desperately fearing for their lives.
However, the two exits of Middle Street were situated within two small alleys. Only two to three players could pa.s.s through them at a time so this created a huge congestion.
For the lucky few who made their way through the alleyway and out of Middle Street, what greeted them was a ma.s.sive horde of players.
The narrow alleyway proved to be the final resting place for these players. Even a.s.sa.s.sins had no place to hide.
“F*ck!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire knew that he was in deep trouble this time as he saw his players being cut down one by one. He hurriedly told Sanguine Rain and his other guards, “I cannot die. Quick, open a path for me.”
The faces of Sanguine Rain and the others turned dark.
Their opponent had close to ten thousand people and they had a terrain advantage. Was it not a pipe dream to escape this predicament with just a few players?
However, since they were under the employ of Captain Don’t Open Fire, they could not possibly abandon him in his greatest need.
Sanguine Rain and the other guards were not foolish enough to follow the crowd to the alleyway. The few of them hastily escorted Captain Don’t Open Fire back to the intersection of Middle Street.
As they reached the intersection, they were also greeted with an ominous ma.s.s of enemies.
Sanguine Alliance had planned for almost one thousand people to lay in ambush. No matter how strong Sanguine Rain and the others were, there was no way they could stand up against such an overwhelming number of enemies.
On the rooftop of the church, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were carefully monitoring the chaos of Void Blade as they delighted in their enemies’ misfortune. It was already a blessing if Quan Zhen Sect did not find trouble with other guilds but Void Blade had instead repeatedly incurred their wrath. It was imperative that the Quan Zhen Sect used this opportunity to strike fear in the heart of Captain Don’t Open Fire to put an end to all future conflict.
“How?” Fearless grinned at w.a.n.g Yu as they glanced towards Captain Don’t Open Fire, “City Lord Iron Bull, do you want to give this man an experience he will never forget?”
“Oh?” w.a.n.g Yu continued, “Sure, but there are way too many people.”
“That’s probably right!” Fearless smiled as he sent his instructions in the guild chat, “Create an opening in the intersection and allow Captain Don’t Open Fire to pa.s.s through.”
Fearless chuckled to himself, “Alright, you can go and chase them and have your fun…”
