Chapter 47: Team Battle

In Mobei City, Hell’s Messenger scoffed after watching the video of the leaderboard match and said, “It’s just a matter of attribute crushing. There’s no real skill involved, not even dodging a Barbarian Charge. He got lucky early on with some good talents, so he’s temporarily ahead. Once everyone has their gear, he won’t be a threat anymore.”

In Julu City, watching the video repeatedly, the King of Gods stood next to his trusted aide and said, “This person relies solely on his attributes; his operations are awful. We don’t need to pay too much attention to someone like that.”

The King of Gods smiled, “In games, attributes are the ultimate measure of power. Are you sure his skills are poor? Seeing isn’t always believing; maybe he’s deliberately playing it down.”

In Qiushui City, Dreaming Light Dance was also watching the video on the forum, a mysterious look flashing across her face as she muttered, “He used only one speed skill from start to finish, relying on auto-attacks the whole time. Is he hiding something? Or does he think these people are not worthy of him using his full strength?”

Leaders of various major guilds were also analyzing the combat in the video, each with differing opinions on the player Dust Sealed. However, no matter how impressive Dust Sealed seemed, it still wouldn’t affect the growth of their respective guilds. Once the guilds developed, no individual’s strength could stand against an entire guild.

They even began to feel sorry for the Bold and Ambitious Heroes Guild, as their members were still underdeveloped but had already gone up against Dust Sealed, who was significantly ahead in terms of power. Bold and Ambitious Heroes had acted without thinking.

Wu Shaochen, unaware of the impact his PK had on the outside world, had already begun hunting down jungle tigers in large numbers.

Unfortunately, jungle tigers were not pack animals, so he could only find and kill one at a time, making it impossible to farm efficiently. Most of his time was spent searching for monsters, but he didn’t mind. After all, he had promised to help clear out the tigers, and he wasn’t in a rush to level up.

In the largest tavern in Jinling City, inside a private room, all the high-ranking members of Bold and Ambitious Heroes Guild had gathered. At this moment, everyone’s faces looked grim.

Sitting at the head of the table, Bold and Ambitious Heaven spoke first, “Let’s tally up the losses from this battle.”

“In total, 236 people died in this battle, including us. Everyone lost a level. As for equipment, the other members just lost some low-level gear, no big deal. For us, the gear we lost was auctioned off and we bought it back, spending over 300,000 gold,” Bold and Ambitious Cruelty said with anger.

“While the losses in terms of levels and gear are manageable, this battle has dealt a serious blow to our guild’s momentum. Even the small guilds that we used to suppress are now daring to challenge us. It’s infuriating,” Bold and Ambitious Solitude added.

Bold and Ambitious Heaven’s face darkened, “Hmph, now even the smallest guilds dare to challenge Bold and Ambitious Heroes. It looks like it’s time to set an example. Who else in Jinling City, besides us, has decent strength?”

“From our recent investigations, apart from us, there are three guilds in Jinling City whose strength is not to be underestimated: Cold Moon Pavilion, Raging Storm, and Stormy Weather. Together, they outnumber us, so we should hold off on dealing with them for now. We can take care of the smaller guilds first,” Bold and Ambitious Fang Yu, the intelligence officer, reported.

“Also, it seems that the first player to class change into a mage, Xue’er, is in Jinling City. We had some past conflicts with her, and she’s quite strong, with excellent gear. Our people were nearly wiped out in the encounter. However, since we provoked her first, we couldn’t take action, so I’ve kept the matter under wraps,” Bold and Ambitious Fang Yu continued.

“A mage who can kill people this early on? Looks like Xue’er is no ordinary player. Do you think we can recruit her into our guild?” Bold and Ambitious Heaven asked.

“I’ll try. But, boss, if we really want to assert ourselves and show our strength, there are two guilds that are better targets,” Fang Yu continued.

“Which two?” Bold and Ambitious Heaven asked.

“The Su Group and Madman Guild. These two guilds are strong but not as strong as us. They also have a history of conflict with us, especially the Madman Guild, which has been mocking us after the recent events. I think we can target them,” Fang Yu said.

Bold and Ambitious Heaven tapped the table and said, “Good, let’s go after them. It’s time to let these people see what happens when they offend Bold and Ambitious Heroes. As for Dust Sealed, keep an eye on him. Let him be arrogant for a few more days. Once our members have better gear and levels, I’ll kill him back to level 0.”

With that, the meeting of Bold and Ambitious Heroes’ high-level members ended. The first mid-sized guild battle in Jinling City officially began, with battles erupting all over the wilderness. Bold and Ambitious Heroes had many members, but the Madman Guild and Su Group were no pushovers either. The fighting continued, and resurrection points were constantly being filled.

“Damn, the server’s been up for just three days, and this is already happening. How can anyone level up?”

“Exactly, it’s impossible to hunt monsters in peace with all these fights.”

“Looks like Bold and Ambitious Heroes were beaten by Dust Sealed and can’t get revenge, so they’re taking it out on other people.”

“Damn, they’re like rabid dogs, biting anyone they can.”

This large-scale team battle affected many players, sparking widespread dissatisfaction.

But despite the complaints, Bold and Ambitious Heroes continued their aggressive behavior, seemingly unwilling to stop until they had dismantled two other guilds.

The battle lasted from afternoon to evening, showcasing the immense power of Bold and Ambitious Heroes. The Madman Guild and Su Group, with their thousands of members, were beaten back to the novice village, and the survivors hid inside the city, too afraid to venture out. Although the two guilds also took significant losses, it wasn’t a major setback compared to the tens of thousands of members in Bold and Ambitious Heroes.

The overwhelming power and ruthlessness of Bold and Ambitious Heroes intimidated many, silencing those who had been badmouthing them. This helped to restore the guild’s dignity.

At the resurrection point in Jinling City, the place was packed with players. The Madman Guild and Bold and Ambitious Heroes were exchanging insults, but since PvP was prohibited inside the city, they could only engage in verbal sparring, knowing that any physical altercations would lead to arrests by the city guards, with sentences of up to half a month in jail.

At the same time, the high-ranking members of Su Group had gathered in their own meeting.

“Uncle Liu, what should we do now? At this rate, we won’t be able to leave the city to level up,” one of the younger members of Su Group asked.

Uncle Liu furrowed his brow. He had no idea why Bold and Ambitious Heroes had suddenly targeted them. They had hoped to develop their guild quietly in the game, but now they were being attacked.

They weren’t professional gamers, and although they had recruited some game experts, they were no match for a massive guild like Bold and Ambitious Heroes.

“Perhaps we should notify Miss. She’ll find out soon enough once she logs in, and with her strength, she might be able to turn things around,” another Su Group member suggested.

Uncle Liu shook his head, “Miss is only one person; she won’t be able to make a big difference unless she’s like Dust Sealed.”

With that, Uncle Liu’s eyes lit up, and he said, “I’ll log off and talk to Miss. You all stay in the city for now.”
