Chapter 386: The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
As an old and well-known guild, the Land of Imperial Power was usually the one to poke other gamers. Naturally, Wang Yu and co. were definitely not ordinary people if they could escape from their encirclement.
Under commands from Imperial Dragon Behead, the Land of Imperial Power managed to stabilise its formation very swiftly.
Regardless of how tough these monsters were, they were still monsters without IQ. Those with high defense jobs gathered around to protect those with weaker defense in the middle. With an organised formation, the players from the Land of Imperial Power gradually defended the attacks from the Farmland Destroyers.
“Heh, these fellas are pretty decent…” A surprised Wang Yu looked at the organised fight as he exclaimed.
Initially, Wang Yu thought that these small monsters were enough to deal with the Land of Imperial Power. Who would have thought that they could form such an organised defense so quickly? They managed to turn from being passive to active.
The most direct way to judge a player’s strength would be by looking at his equipment. Ordinary gamers would have at least a complete set of bronze tier equipment. Elite experts would have an additional half a set of silver tier equipment. Core experts of a guild would usually be equipped with silver tier equipment and some gold tier ones. As for a complete gold tier set, even supreme expert like the players from the Quan Zhen Sect hadn’t managed to gather them all…
Because elite experts were equipped with excellent equipment, defeating monsters above their levels was still manageable. There was still a significant difference between the monsters’ relentless attacks and the players’ organised defense.
With two hundred elite gamers fighting against four to five hundred high level monsters, it could still be an evenly matched contest.
After the defense formation was stabilised, Imperial Dragon Behead led his men by killing their way out of the encirclement. Step by step, they drew closer to the waterwheel.
“Aiyo, they are really making their way here… They must be really desperate ah… I shall go and kill one wave of them.” Wang Yu scratched his own head as he finally understood why the Quan Zhen Sect was always a problem for these big guilds.
The members of the Quan Zhen Sect were definitely not a match if they went head to head with these big guilds. However, their capabilities to deal with individuals or small groups of people were definitely much greater than those people below. Moreover, Fearless was also a master of the dark schemes. With a small number of people, nobody could catch the Quan Zhen Sect. If the numbers were comparable, it would be painful going against the Quan Zhen Sect. In a game where everyone had unlimited lives, offending a sect like the Quan Zhen Sect would only spell frustration.
Fearless chuckled, “Hehe, this is exactly the outcome that I want. Don’t panic, let’s just wait a while more.”
As the Land of Imperial Power moved slowly, the small monsters followed closely behind.
With the completeness and excellent sets of equipment, the Land of Imperial Power was still not producing good output in terms of the number of monsters they were killing. However, they were still progressing slowly but surely. The monsters were all fought out of shape and the reinforcement couldn’t catch up to speed. By the time the Land of Imperial Power fought their way to the waterwheel, almost half of the small monsters were killed.
The drop rate of defeating monsters above their levels were still decent. There were plenty of items dropped in the village.
There were ‘food’ from the crops, some daggers and arrows.
Because the gamers were surrounded by monsters, they didn’t have the opportunity to pick them up. All they could do was to watch as those items lay there quietly waiting for its respawn.
Looking at how Wang Yu was staring at them, Imperial Dragon Behead shouted coldly, “Old man here don’t believe you will stay there forever!”
After saying this, Imperial Dragon Behead ordered, “Everyone lean against the waterwheel. Fight and kill as many monsters as you can!”
The players from the Land of Imperial Power received the order and lined up with the backs against the waterwheel. Firepower and attacks became more ferocious and not long later, all the monsters were finally wiped out.
In this huge battle, the Land of Imperial Power also lost half of their manpower. Currently, they were only left with about a hundred people.
However, this was under the circumstances that they were ambushed and surrounded by monsters of higher levels than them. It was already an impressive record for them to be able to wipe out five hundred monsters and only lose hundred of their men. It was truly a remarkable achievement for the players of the Land of Imperial Power.
Even so, they neglected the most important people here: Quan Zhen Sect. Why have they only seen one person from the entire Quan Zhen Sect thus far?
“How is it? In front of supreme strength, all kinds of plots are nothing at all. Don’t you understand this logic?” Imperial Dragon Behead continued to praise himself.
“Not bad, very impressive!” Wang Yu nodded. The strength of these fellas from the Land of Imperial Power really did exceed Wang Yu’s expectations. Naturally, he was comparing it to the previous groups of enemies which he went against. As compared to those weaklings, the Land of Imperial Power was indeed decent.
Imperial Dragon Behead laughed out loud, “Hahahaha! If you’re finally scared, come down and accept your death gracefully. I know you are an expert too. If you wish to join our Land of Imperial Power, we will be teammates and I can consider letting you off this time.”
Ming Du peeked out of the tipper as he saw the huge smile of Imperial Dragon Behead. He cursed angrily, “Tsk! Look at that disgusting face of his. You have no idea how much I want to spit in his mouth now…”
Everyone else, “…”
Ming Du’s words were clearly more disgusting than Imperial Dragon Behead’s actions.
“And you think the few of you are enough to deal with me?” Wang Yu asked Imperial Dragon Behead.
“Why? Is one hundred versus one not enough for you?”
After witnessing Wang Yu’s strength, he labelled Wang Yu as the most dangerous figure. Therefore, Imperial Dragon Behead was not willing to underestimate Wang Yu. This was evident when he brought over two hundred men just to deal with the small Quan Zhen Sect.
At this moment, Imperial Dragon Behead wasn’t convinced that one hundred of his men were still not a match for Wang Yu alone.
The attributes of a person was fixed by the system. Wang Yu was still able to deal with 30 to 50 people at one go. However, Wang Yu was not superman so dealing with one hundred men was certainly not achievable by himself… However, being unable to kill them didn’t mean he couldn’t outrun them. Moreover, Wang Yu was not alone here.
“It is enough but do you really think it will be one against a hundred?”
“Don’t tell me you have reinforcement?” An astonished Imperial Dragon Behead asked. The earlier battle exhausted the Land of Imperial Power quite significantly. If there was another wave of monsters again, they really wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Wang Yu replied again, “Look behind you.”
Upon hearing Wang Yu’s words, everyone was shocked as they turned their heads.
At this moment, two extra heads popped out from the waterwheel’s tipper.
They were a wretched looking middle-aged man and a youth. Two of them started waving and moving their staffs.
[Dark Barrier] rose among the crowd of people and because of how tight the formation was, Spring Halo’s single move was enough to trap tens of people.
Concurrently, those who were trapped started feeling heat from beneath their feets. A sea of flame started burning within the crowd.
“F*ck! There are people on the waterwheel! Spread out immediately!”
The players from the Land of Imperial Power was dumbfounded as they hurriedly escaped in all four directions. Even so, Spring Halo’s [Poison Nova] and Ming Du’s [Flaming Thunderstorm] had already landed. Ming Du’s attacks were always extremely powerful and with Spring Halo’s support, yet another tens of players from the Land of Imperial Power were killed.
At this moment, three figures jumped out from the tipper closest to the ground. They were Crotch Lord and two Assassins.
Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher disappeared after landing on the ground while Crotch Lord rolled forward and stabilised himself. He raised his massive shield and started charging towards the crowd.
Simultaneously, Boson and Vainglory jumped out of the two outer tippers too.
