Chapter 136 (Cleaning the Battlefield)
A change in the situation. The arrival of the nearly two thousand Sword and Roses members from the city caused the people of Romantic World in disarray at once. While the rear also seemed to be quite lively. It appeared that the more than 100 players leveling in Silvermoon Mountain’s valley had already launched an attack on Romantic Master’s and Mad Warrior’s b.u.t.ts!
Besieged for nearly twenty minutes, the guild members of Swords and Roses began to rage. One by one, as if stimulated by dopings, began to attack like crazy. This caused the enemy to be even more dumbfounded, and many of them had already begun to despair. Especially after I continuously triggered the Black Ice Sword four times, and killed dozens of high-level players, their will to resist was even more weakened.
The attack was carried out smoothly. Sun Never Sets was obviously good at commanding. Under his command, the nearly 2,000 players launched a well-organized siege, resulting very few of Romantic Master’s and Mad Warrior’s people being able to escape. Each and every one of them desperately tried to break the blockade only to suffer from getting badly beaten.
After leaving the rear to Young and Frivolous, I rushed to where Murong Shan Shan was only to find myself to have come a bit late. The enemies had been wiped out, leaving only Romantic Master, Mad Warrior, and seven or eight other people resisting desperately.
When she noticed my arrival, she smiled and sad, “This battle is so tiring. I’m going to have a good rest tonight.”
I also replied smiling, “I’m not going to bother you then. Right, why don’t you kill these few people?”
“Let the others kill them, I don’t want to dirty my hands.”
Murong Shan Shan spat out her tongue. She said it very loudly, causing Romantic Master and Mad Warrior to hate this beautiful girl to the bone in that instant.
A few minutes later, the group of Romantic Master and Mad Warrior were almost wiped out completely. Only a very small number of people could return to the city safely.
Murong Shan Shan roughly calculated the casualties. The Sword and Roses troops carried out nearly 4,000 people, of which almost a thousand were killed once. There were some unlucky people who were killed twice and even dropped 4 levels.
I just noticed Sun Never Sets today. He seemed to be very refined, but definitely a great talent. Under his sole command, the two thousand people he brought had completely encircled the battlefield, blocking any players not from our guild to enter, and glorified in cleaning the battlefield. On the battlefield, only core members and the first squadron led by Young and Frivolous were picking up the equipment dropped by the players who died. The system default time before the equipment disappeared was one hour. This gave us enough time to seized the spoils of war.
Murong Shan Shan picked up a blue boot. After carefully looked at and compared it with her own equipment, she threw it into the inventory while saying to Young and Frivolous, “Pick up all green equipment and above. We’ll use it to compensate the members of the guild who have died.”
Young and Frivolous immediately held up a level 7 staff, which raised 2 points of Intelligence, and said, “Should I collect this?”
“You can keep it for yourself as a memorial of this first big guild battle,” Murong Shan Shan gave him a stern look. She turned around and said to me with a smile, “Lin Fan, you can pick up as many equipment you want as your reward for your good performance today.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
I was immediately very happy. I was already laying my eyes on a blue leather armor on the ground to give it to Xin Yu once I got back.
Murong Shan Shan and I picked up the equipment laying around together. Occasionally, she would scream, “Ah, you’re eyes are really too sick. How come you always find the good equipment first?”
I had to admit that I had made some deep study regarding the appearance of an equipment. Just by looking at the color of it, I could roughly determine the quality of the equipment. However, I also sometimes made a misjudgment. Those equipment with nice and elaborate designs were more often not the best ones. Instead, those with simple design and uninteresting appearance would mostly be best-quality equipment.
I only picked up the equipment of level 35 and above while also considering the properties fitting for the use of Lu Xue Han and Xin Yu. With my current condition, I didn’t need to rely on selling low-level equipment to make money. Despite that, I still filled up my inventory. In order to make room, I even threw out the potions. It was still money after all. I was a person who didn’t like to waste anything.
The equipment were mostly dropped by the people of Romantic World’s and Mad Warrior’s people. Everybody was happy picking up the equipment. Unfortunately, the best equipment here was only a level 38 blue equipment. Too bad that Romantic Master didn’t drop any of his few pieces of purple equipment. Nonetheless, we still picked up the equipment in a frenzy. The dozens of people led by Young and Frivolous mostly already had their inventory full.
“Reporting to the leader. We picked up a total of over 8,000 pieces of equipment, of which 7,000 of them are green equipment, and the rest of it are blue equipment.” Young and Frivolous reported the spoils of war.
Murong Shan Shan asked, “Does it include that level 7 green staff?”
“No, I have kept it personally. Some day, I’ll go to the beginners village and find a beautiful girl to give her as a present,” Young and Frivolous rubbed his nose and asked, “How are we going to handle these equipment?”
Murong Shan Shan blinked her eyes and smiled, “All who dropped two levels will be compensated with two suitable green equipment. Those who dropped four levels will be compensated with two pieces of blue equipment.”
“Then, there will still be a lot remaining. There’s still much blue equipment…”
“Distribute the ones with better properties to the people who performed well today. The rest of it, you guys manage it. In any case, the first principle of the guild is to strengthen its guild member’s fighting forces.”
“Understood.”
…
Since Young and Frivolous and Sun Never Sets had red names, they let the members with white names to carry the equipment back to town. All those players had come and fight together with Young and Frivolous for many years, so they shouldn’t betray the guild by running away with all the equipment just now.
Having finished sorting out the equipment, Murong Shan Shan said, “There’s a Silvermoon City’s supply depot in the mountain’s valley. Let’s go there to repair our equipment. You should also be tired already.”
I stretched myself and replied, “Yeah. After killing for so long, I can nearly stand anymore.”
“Go to sleep earlier tonight. We can get rid of our red names tomorrow,” Murong Shan Shan smiled and then continued, “After today’s battle, Romantic Master and Mad Warrior should be showing restraint for several days. Today, most of them have dropped two levels, that would greatly reduce their strength. Our people who died were mostly those without good equipment and unskillful. It’s okay for them to drop a level, they can get some group PK experience. I never imagined that I actually could conduct such a grand battle…”
I also somewhat sighed, “Yeah, the other games I used to play in the past were far from this intense. A couple of times, I almost screamed when I was about to die, but fortunately, our Clerics are pretty good.”
Murong Shan Shan covered her mouth and laughed, “And yet, I thought you were really always so calm. It turns out that you can also panic.”
“Of course, but I can’t show it. If I, the first-ranked player in our city, also panicked, then today, it would be hard for us to win the battle. Ah, in the future, our path would not be easy. Romantic Master and Mad Warrior, those two sc.u.ms, would certainly walk the path together with us…”
Murong Shan Shan went silent. A few minutes later, she suddenly exposed a sweet smile, “Sooner or later, your group is going to establish a guild anyway. At that time, we’ll form an alliance. Won’t it do?”
