Chapter 1697: Crowd Taunt
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Before Sorrowless could say anything, the focus of attention suddenly became Azure Sea Breeze.
Azure Sea Breeze was quite confused in the beginning as to why he was suddenly the target. However, after enduring the attacks of too many people, he finally realised what had just happened.

“Lu Li, you a.s.shole! I’m going to cut off all our relations!” Breezy yelled.
He tried to kite the best he could, while activating his damage reduction. As he was doing this, he was also calling out, “Are you guys accepting new members? You guys saw how I was getting bullied here, and I’ve even cut off all relations with Lu Li. Now, I want to leave Ruling Sword and join you guys. How about that?”
Everyone ignored him. Just because he was dumb didn’t mean that everyone else was easy to trick.
Ruling Sword had a few pillars. Among these pillars, Azure Sea Breeze was one of the more well-known. That was why even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe him.
From other people’s perspectives, every fight that these two had between them was just like the bickering between old couples.
With Lu Li’s help, Azure Sea Breeze managed to quickly charge up an ultimate AoE Taunt skill, while Lu Li brought his men to destroy a couple of chariots.
“c.r.a.p! Heal me! Heal me! I’m nearly dead!” Azure Sea Breeze howled.
Actually, he had already activated his ultimate mitigation skill, so the maximum damage that he was receiving was at most, a little over a hundred. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to die that easily in a timeframe of a minute. However, once the people from Glory Capital heard that he was nearly dead, they were more unwilling to let this big fish go.
“Stop attacking him. Legendary items? So what? We have them too.”
Sorrowless finally woke up and hurriedly called for his teammates to calm down.
“That’s right! Even if we kill him, who’s to say that the Legendary item would definitely drop?” West
Whitehill added.
When players died, they would usually drop one item. There was a large chance of dropping an equipped item, while there was also a chance of dropping an item in the storage. However, there were at least 10 items equipped at once, so the chances of dropping a Legendary item was not that high.
Most people hadn’t seen Legendary items before, while most people also hadn’t heard of a Legendary item’s properties.
There was a rumour that said that Legendary items were bound to a player once equipped. It wouldn’t drop even if the player died. They wanted to avoid a situation where they lost the Stronghold as well as the Legendary item.
However, it was difficult to compare the value of a Stronghold and a Legendary item.
For individual players, Legendary items were undoubtably more important. However, Strongholds were more valuable and yielded more benefits to clubs. On the other hand, Legendary items were still extremely attractive.
No one knew whether Dawn had G.o.d weapons or not.
The highest tier known to players then was Legendary tier. There was once a player called Clamour who used tens of millions to buy Legendary items. No one could confirm the validity of this claim, but this was a clear example of the value of Legendary items.
Glory Capital players were well disciplined, so everyone stopped attacking Azure Sea Breeze after Sorrowless commanded them to stop.
However, their attention was still unconsciously on Azure Sea Breeze.
Hypothetically, if there was a Giant Panda in the middle of the streets, even the calmest people would still be curious enough to go and see it.
Players who had Legendary items were rarer than Giant Pandas.
The key part was, what if they could bring this Giant Panda home?
Sorrowless was extremely frustrated, but he couldn’t do anything about it. It wasn’t just his teammates whose attention was now on Azure Sea Breeze. He himself was also drawn to Azure Sea Breeze.
How shameless!
Never had he seen someone so shameless!
Lu Li purposely revealed that Azure Sea Breeze had a Legendary item, which attracted all of their attention. This was only a tactic that only someone like Lu Li was able to think of.
Upon seeing that everyone had stopped attacking him, Azure Sea Breeze grew extremely arrogant.
The battle raged on with a hefty price paid on both sides.
“We’ve lost way too many items!” Fat Monkey painfully cried out.
“Monkey, are you stupid? We’ve lost a lot, but they also lost a lot. It pretty much cancels out.”
Azure Sea Breeze’s IQ suddenly increased this time. Furthermore, he even raised his voice and said, “Unless they can take my Legendary weapon away from me, we’ll always have the advantage.”
“….” Everyone in Glory Capital was now furious.
They were now desperate on the offensive end. Sorrowless understood their situation. A stalemate like this would only benefit the defensive side. As the offensive side, they needed to break through as soon as possible.
There weren’t that many Ruling Sword chariots left on the wall.
The ladders that Glory Capital constructed had served their purpose, while their chariots were also now in full use.
“We’ll rush them again. Breezy, you’ll lead the squad,” Lu Li instructed.
“Are you for real? We’ll die if we leave.”
Azure Sea Breeze was afraid. After all, he had only been fighting the players who came up using the ladders, so Glory Capital couldn’t inflict their maximum damage on him. No matter how powerful his mitigation was, he was still unable to tank that many people at once.
“Our situation doesn’t look too good at the moment. We need to destroy their chariots,” Lu Li calmly responded.
There were still eight chariots left. This wasn’t many, but it wasn’t insignificant either. Furthermore, there were still around 30 minutes until the end of the battle. 30 minutes was enough for Glory Capital to destroy Ruling Sword’s wall.
“Alright then. I’ll go.”
Azure Sea Breeze thought about it, then unhesitatingly brought Ruling Sword players and rushed down.
When they need hot-bloodedness, he and Moonlight did not fail to deliver. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be playing the Warrior cla.s.s. After all, West Whitehill was right. Even if he died, the Legendary weapon still might not drop.
Upon seeing Azure Sea Breeze lead the charge, everyone’s eyes widened.
The opposing side’s skills immediately came at him. Everyone was attacking him like they would with a Boss. After all, all of his items were top-tier in the current meta, so he was naturally a fatter pig than any Boss that had been released.
Even if he didn’t drop the Legendary item, just one of his items was equivalent to other multiple drops.
“Protect the chariots! Have you guys not seen items before?” Sorrowless roared. He was usually the elegant and calm type, so this shattered his image. This idol-like figure in Dawn was not without a temper either.
Lu Li’s main objective when he decided to send out Azure Sea Breeze and a team of players to rush at the chariots was for Azure Sea Breeze attract all of their attention. Then, he would instruct a separate team of players to destroy the chariots.
They knew this. However, they still fell for it. How was Sorrowless meant to keep his composure upon seeing this?
They were the number one club in the gaming industry, where the elite among the elites gathered. However, they still couldn’t ignore the temptation of a single Legendary item. Sorrowless felt that it was his fault for loosening the control and discipline of the club.
He had dominated the gaming industry for many years. Now, he was being made a fool.
There were many problems that arose during this Stronghold battle which made Sorrowless fearful.
After hearing the usually calm Sorrowless explode in anger and curses, all the Glory Capital players immediately straightened up. They quickly repositioned themselves and clashed with the Ruling Sword players.
