Chapter 85
Battlefield changes usually happen in a flash.
It was at this moment that Cao Ge realized that their plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain had been seen through by her, and he quickly shouted to his teammates carrying the battle flags, "She's catching up! Xixi, drink the purple medicine quickly!"
Caught up?
The three hunters named Xixi were suspicious. They turned their heads while running and found that Mo Se, who should have been led away, had no intention of following Cao Ge at this time. Instead, he walked very quickly and really caught up with them.
"I'll stop her, you two go back!"
Xixi said as she turned and shot the arrow.
Whoosh——
Her arrow flew towards the person opposite her.
But Xia Mo avoided it by turning his head.
What a quick reaction! Xixi was stunned for a moment when she realized she had dodged the arrow, but she quickly drew her bow again and released the arrows with various special effects one by one.
What surprised her was that her archery skills, which she was usually proud of, did not give her any advantage in front of a short-legged official.
No, let alone an advantage, she even felt like she was being suppressed.
As this thought flashed through her mind, her movements slowed down a bit.
It was this half beat that gave her the advantage over the other party.
A skill flew towards her legs, freezing!
Her legs were instantly covered with a layer of light blue ice. She was shocked and thought, it's over. She can't move.
Three seconds, normally so short that she couldn't even finish a sip of water, now felt as if a century had passed.
boom!
0%!
When the time came, her vision turned gray and black, she was dead, and a battle flag burst out of her backpack.
There was no expression on Xia Mo's face. He quickly picked it up, but silently recited in his heart, "The second side."
If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three.
The other two hunters who attempted to escape were successfully killed by her sword.
Then take back both sides.
Good news also came from Qingshui: "We recovered 3 sides and one person escaped."
Xia Mo: "Not enough."
After saying that, he quickly walked around behind a ranged player, and used Star Shock, Star Destruction, and Starlight!
The ranged player was caught off guard and turned around to fight back, but he couldn't keep up with her speed. By the time he raised his weapon, another skill had already hit his head.
0%, plop.
Page 5.
"Mo Se, they're almost back to the city!" The man who had been observing the enemy situation from the dark suddenly said, "There are four of them at your 10 o'clock position!"
Xia Mo immediately turned sideways: "Okay."
She narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and threw out a big skill, Comet Storm!
The maximum release range of this skill is 8 meters, which is exactly the distance between her and the Xiao Hongchen city gate.
Stars fell from the sky, creating brilliant special effects at low altitude, and rumbling explosions were heard on the ground, which sounded particularly pleasant to Xia Mo.
Of course, what is even more pleasing to the eye are the groups of fallen corpses and the exploding battle flags at the city gate.
Xia Mo rushed forward and retrieved the battle flag.
"Qingshui, give me the battle flag and I'll put it back."
The battle flag is obtained, but it needs to be re-inserted on the city wall to regain points.
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he saw Qingshui coming towards him.
"Here you go," he said.
Taking the three battle flags from him, she turned around and rushed towards the city where Qingyao was going straight up without hesitation.
Like a tireless cheetah, she rushed into the city gate and then onto the city wall. Every time she passed a groove, she would firmly insert the battle flag in her hand.
Side by side, everyone who was on Qingyaozhi heard the sound of points being returned.
This is not an ordinary sound effect, but the dignity they are determined to protect at all costs.
There were 11 in total, and we took back 10 of them.
The people from Xiao Hongchen worked hard to go out of the city, but in the end they only got 50 points back. They would probably be too embarrassed to report this "result" when they return, right?
In fact, the more than ten members killed by Xia Mo were not only ashamed, they were like ostriches, with their heads lowered and almost buried in the ground.
Xiao Hongchen's face was also extremely gloomy. He frowned and it seemed as if an extremely cold low pressure formed around his body, making people dare not breathe.
After a while, someone finally stood up with his head lowered.
"Vice President, I'm sorry, we are not strong enough."
"The battle flag is lost. You can punish me however you want when we get back. I'll take it all!"
Xiao Hongchen looked at everyone and took a deep breath: "It's okay, this can't be blamed entirely on you."
It's that ink-colored operation that's too perverted.
After they jumped down from the city, he had been observing the situation behind them.
He guessed that with her personality she would jump off the wall to chase him, but he didn't expect that she could take down so many of his men by herself.
Xiao Hongchen was very clear about the strength of the members she brought with her. Although they were not in the first echelon, they were not far behind. However, such an elite team was defeated by her without any ability to fight back.
This operation can no longer be described as terrifying.
Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes, and his narrowed gaze seemed to sweep over Zhuye Zuijiu beside him.
Back to the present, seeing that the points gap between him and Qingyao Zhishang was getting bigger and bigger, and the battle was about to end in an hour, Zhuye Zuijiu could no longer hold back and gave orders directly in the voice.
"Except for the melee fighters guarding the holes in the city, everyone else, charge to the opposite side! Use your best skills to blast all the people and the city of Qingyaozhishang into ruins!!!"
He still couldn't believe it. There were only more than 20 people on the opposite side. How could they not defeat them with more than double their number?
Everyone: “Yes!”
Nearly a hundred people poured out of the city like a flood, shouting continuously, looking as if they were going to crush the enemy to the ground.
The one in charge of observing the enemy situation, laughing so hard his face was paralyzed, quickly reported: "It seems the enemy is moving out en masse. Mo Se, Qing Shui, what should we do?"
A steady voice came back over the voice chat: "You two come back first. There's no need to survey the enemy situation."
After a pause, she asked the others, "Have you buried everything?"
Others: "Buried it! Make sure they can't find it!"
Xia Mo raised his lips and smiled softly: "Okay, let's go back to the city together and close the city gate."
In the darkness, more than a dozen figures were seen retreating quickly. They were like slippery loaches, quickly crawling back into the cave.
Seeing them running away again, several members of Drunken Laughing Red Dust couldn't help but curse.
"Damn, they're heading back into the city again! Are these people cowards?"
"I'm so annoyed by their fighting style. I want to fight them head-on, but they just ignore me."
"Qingyao Zhishang is exactly like what was said in that post. They disgust you with every detail. Bah! If I lose to a guild like that, I'll be too embarrassed to even play in the game!"
Several people rushed forward cursing, and suddenly there was a cracking sound under their feet.
"What the hell?!"
The first person who felt something was wrong with his feet shouted, and before anyone else could respond, there was a bang!
The speaker exploded on the spot and turned into a beam of light.
"Don't move, it's a mine!"
Someone realized what was under their feet and shouted loudly to alert others.
However, just as he finished speaking, he exploded and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Landmines! I didn’t expect that the person who went straight up to Qingyao had landmines!
When did they secretly bury it? How many useless military props do they still have?
The drunken people laughing at the world were shouting, exploding, and running, in complete chaos.
Qingyao went up, mistakenly believing that they still had many unused props. She just wanted to throw up her hands and say that they really had no more and had used up all the necessary props.
Those landmines were secretly buried in the ruins under the cover of night by the people who had followed Xia Mo out of the city.
The vision is dim at night. When a drunkard rushes over, he will not be able to find the mines hidden underneath unless he lowers his head and looks at each stone and piece of ground.
Thanks to the small mines that the black boss had set up in advance, they were able to sit in the city and blow up more than 20 of their members without any effort.
There are nearly eighty left. What should I do?
Use catapults to attack!
Hundreds of people were thrown into such chaos by the landmines that they had no time to notice whether they had run into the catapult's throwing range.
Seeing this, Tomato, Sala and Heye Xiaoxiao, who were in charge of throwing stones, kept throwing stones at the ground, killing most of the people on the opposite side.
However, there was still a small group that escaped the attack range of the stone, and like before, they attacked from the flank.
The city walls were constantly bombarded, and points were lost bit by bit.
This time, the members of Qingyaozhishang did not sit still and wait for death. They rushed to the high platform on the outer wall and blew the enemies on the flank to death.
"That elementalist, focus on him first!"
"Yes, yes, and there's also the priest, brothers, hurry up and attack!"
"Hurry up, there's an assassin hiding over there!"
Although the shouting was a bit chaotic, fortunately everyone was united enough to work together and hit wherever they were directed.
Of course, the most important thing is that most of them still have 2-3 chances to resurrect.
Even if you are accidentally killed by a sneak attack from the people below, don’t be afraid, just revive in the city and continue to attack!
But it is different for those who are drunk and laugh at the world.
Most of them had died once, such as the first batch of assassins who went up to the city to steal the flag, such as the dozens of ranged soldiers who were blown to ashes by the catapult for the first time, and the more than ten hunters who were chased by Xia Mo just now, and now... the ranged soldiers who were blown into beams of light by small mines and catapults.
The average number of resurrections per person should be less than 2.
This caused the number of people on the ground who were drunk and laughing at the world to slowly decrease.
At first, the people who went straight up with Qingyao didn't notice it, but gradually, Tomato, Sala and Heye Xiaoxiao who were responsible for throwing stones noticed the problem of number of people.
"There seem to be fewer of them? Am I seeing things right?" Worried that the poor visibility at night would affect his judgment, Ripe Tomato checked with the two of them.
Sarah hummed: "You're not mistaken."
He Ye Xiaoxiao: "Yes, it has become less."
The ripe tomato's eyes lit up: "Then here's our chance!"
There is no chance of resurrection, and the number of people is decreasing. Zuijiu Xiao Hongchen is now losing even his most obvious advantage. Let's see what they can use to compete with Qingyaozhishang?
The fire of hope ignited in his chest again. Although the hand responsible for pressing the lever was numb, the ripe tomato was still throwing stones desperately in excitement.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
People kept turning into white light under the rocks.
However, even so, Zuijiu Xiaohongchen still had no intention of stopping.
The city wall that Qingyao climbed up was constantly attacked by some minions, and the degree of damage gradually increased to 45%.
In the second hour and 30 minutes of the battle between the two sides, more than half of the members of Zuijiuxiaohongchen were killed and could never be resurrected.
At 2 hours and 45 minutes, they lost half of their men again.
Death is sometimes like a snowball. It starts out as a small snowball, inconspicuous in the white snow, but as it rolls forward, the snowball gets bigger and bigger. When you want to stop it, it is already too late.
At the 2nd hour and 50 minutes, there were less than 20 people left in Zuijiuxiaohongchen.
At Xia Mo's command, everyone left the city and launched a final counterattack.
Ice ring, sweep; holy strike, soul drain... even the auxiliary switched skills and used big moves. For a moment, the skills were intertwined, and colorful light effects flashed across the ground battlefield.
Zhuye Zuijiu died under Qingyao's concentrated fire, and all three chances of resurrection were used up.
He lay on the ground in hatred, hating Qingyaozhishang, especially the dark color in Qingyaozhishang!
The development of the situation was completely beyond his expectations.
He thought that with nearly 100 people on his side, dealing with Qingyao would be easier than crushing an ant.
But he didn't expect that Qingyao would spend a lot of money to buy military equipment in order to win the battle!
If I had known earlier, I should have bought a large batch, Zhuye Zuijiu thought angrily. That way, I wouldn't have been beaten by a small, unknown guild...
Zhuye Zuijiu attributed the failure of this battle to the disadvantage of equipment, but what he didn't know was that there is also something called tactics.
Even if Xia Mo couldn't buy those equipment, she had other ways to deal with them.
It’s a pity that Zhuye Zuijiu won’t understand these.
Xiao Hongchen was sober, but because he was too sober, he realized when his battle flag was snatched away an hour ago that they would most likely lose this battle.
At the 2nd hour and 59th minute, the bodies of countless members of the Drunken Laughing Red Dust were lying on the ground.
At exactly the third hour, the system struck the gong and drum, announcing that time was up.
[[Qingyao Zhishang] vs. [Zuijiuxiaohongchen] has concluded. Please retract your weapons and wait where you are. Points are being calculated...]
In fact, there is no need for a settlement. Anyone with eyes can tell who wins and who loses in this game.
But the process still has to go on.
After about half a minute, the points settlement was completed.
Guild [Qingyao Zhishang]: Killed 298 enemies, earning 2980 points; destroyed the enemy wall, causing 24% damage, earning 890 points; captured 0 enemy flags, earning 0 points. Total 3870 points!
Guild [Drunken Laughing in the Red Dust]: Killed 55 enemies, earning 550 points; destroyed the enemy wall, causing 46% damage, earning 1705 points; captured 1 enemy battle flag, earning 50 points. Total 2305 points!
[In this guild battle, [Qingyao Zhishang] wins!]
The word "victory" is full of persistence and hard work. The people on Qingyaozhishang laughed and started to cry, hugging each other.
"Family, we won, we really won!"
"We have used our actions to tell the world that Qingyao Zhishang is not a small guild that can be bullied!"
"Yes, we are not a small guild!"
They were under too much pressure in this battle.
Losing a battle is not just a matter of losing. From now on, as long as they still have the words "Qingyao Zhishang" on their heads, there will always be people pointing fingers at them, saying that they are the selfish and unscrupulous guild that was exposed on the forum that year for bullying newcomers.
But now it's different, they won.
The win is fair and honest, and the win is without any suspense!
[The world's tenth-ranked Drunken Laughing Red Dust was defeated by the small guild Qingyao and went straight up]
As soon as the news was revealed, almost all players around the world were stunned.
The world channel was silent for a few seconds, but a few seconds later, the dialog box was like a flood, constantly refreshing with various comments.
[Damn, Drunken Laughing at the Red Dust lost???]
[And the system specifically marked it as a "crushing defeat"?! Could it be that the system has dealt a blow?]
How could I possibly win a lottery for something this big? Drunk and Laughing at the Red Dust had already lost, and completely.
[Oh my god, I remember there were about 100 people from their guild participating in the battle? Qingyao Zhishang has less than 30 people, almost three times less. How can they still lose? What the hell is their guild doing?]
Rather than saying that Zuijiuxiaohongchen is too weak, I think it’s better to admit that Qingyao is awesome for going straight up.
When many people were surprised and incredulous that Zuijiuxiaohongchen lost, someone stood up and told everyone directly that it was actually Qingyaozhishang who was too strong.
Of course, if you say something like this, you will inevitably be ridiculed by many people.
[A level 1 guild? Less than 45 people total, and you're telling me it's awesome? Haha, what's so awesome about it?]
[Don't be another mindless praising of Qingyao! I'm so annoyed. They're constantly trying to market your guild at every opportunity. It's really disgusting.]
[Nausea +1]
[I bet there's a system error. Qingyao wouldn't have won against Drunk Laughing Red Dust if she went straight up. I'm just going to say this. If I'm wrong, I'll stand upside down and eat shit in the game!]
A group of people mocked and cursed, and some even used various oaths such as eating shit and being struck by lightning to prove that there was a problem with the system's judgment.
Ripe Tomato looked at the news and nearly threw his weapon in anger. "Are these people idiots? We won fair and square, so why are they saying it's fake? Are they blind?"
Xia Mo looked at him calmly: "It's not that they are blind, it's because they have never seen it before. There are inherent limitations in their cognition, so they are unwilling to admit it."
The game is a big melting pot, and anyone can be put into it.
Although everyone seems to be on the same platform and belongs to the same world, there is a big gap in the education they receive and the cognition they have formed.
Not everyone is willing to accept facts that are different from their cognition. If so, it must be someone else's problem, not their own.
"There's no point in getting into trouble with people like this. Besides, it's better if they make a big fuss."
At this point, Xia Mo suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "Before, Qingyao Zhishang wasn't well-known enough, so not many people joined. Isn't now the perfect time? We can use their mouths to help us promote it everywhere, and even save on marketing costs."
Everyone suddenly realized: Oh, it can be done this way!
The fact was indeed as Xia Mo said. Not long after the original group disbanded, Qingyao went straight to the backstage and received a steady stream of applications for membership.
Latiao Xiaohuahua, who had never seen so many applications, was dazzled by the review. At her request, Qingshui temporarily assigned Yunyao to her to help process these applications.
This battle not only made Qingyao's reputation spread, but also allowed the guild, which had been struggling with financial difficulties, to receive a large reward!
The funds originally used as a bet were returned by the City Hall. In addition, the winning party also received a reward of 150,000 gold coins and various potions, props, and equipment worth 50,000. The rewards were very generous!
Salad and Meat Sauce is in charge of the money matters.
Soon, after deducting the money spent on purchasing military equipment and small mines, as well as the money for subsidizing potions to members, Sala calculated the net profit.
[120,000!] He excitedly said in a channel visible only to management, [@清水煮白菜, @墨色, we made a full 120,000 gold this time!]
120,000 gold coins is just a day or two's pocket money for a wealthy guild like the Black Domain Kingdom. However, for Qingyao Zhishang, who started from scratch, it is indeed a considerable income.
120,000 can buy a lot of things, plus the original 90,000 in the account, a total of 210,000. Xia Mo feels that the guild will no longer have financial difficulties in the short term.
Seeing the joy revealed between the lines of Sala's writing, Xia Mo raised the corner of his mouth: [Not bad, thank you for your hard work]
[Salad with Meat Sauce: No, no! Mo Se, you're being a bit too polite. You made the biggest contribution to today's guild war!]
Xia Mo didn't want to take all the credit for himself: "Everyone has contributed. Don't ignore the efforts of other members because of me."
After being told so, Sarah replied in a sheepish tone: "Yes, yes, everyone has contributed~"
Winning a guild war is like successfully completing a dungeon. All participating players will receive gold coins and experience points as rewards from the system.
Although the team was disbanded at this time and everyone started to busy themselves, they were all happy and shared their joy in the channel.
However, compared with the festive atmosphere on Qingyao's side, the atmosphere inside Zuijiuxiaohongchen was extremely cold.
As the losing party, their only consolation is that their bets will not be deducted by the system like the party that declared war.
But apart from this, what else is there to be better?
30,000 gold coins were deducted from the guild account, and the experience points of all participants were deducted by 6%-10%.
That means I worked for 3 hours, lost a lot of money on potions, consumed dozens of points of equipment durability, and almost ran out of stamina. In the end, there was not even a sound, and all was wasted!
When Zhuye Zuijiu thought of this, he felt so angry that his chest felt congested.
He sat in his own custom-made chair in the conference room, holding his forehead in annoyance.
Seeing that the person in front of him was silent, he finally raised his head after a while: "Xiao Hongchen, don't tell this to the old man."
Xiao Hongchen just looked at him calmly: "But the old man will know sooner or later."
"That's something I'll have to wait until my eligibility is confirmed before letting him know!!!"
There are still two months before the second half of the mecha competition. I didn’t expect Zhuye Zuijiu to be so naive as to think that he could hide it from the old man. Does he really think that the old man’s spies are vegetarians?
Xiao Hongchen sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He just said "OK" lightly and turned away.
Just as he was about to leave the meeting room, someone behind him stopped him and said, "Don't say I was responsible for that forum post. Please contact those people who bribed me to delete the records and original posts. Please also clear out the troll accounts I bought and stop letting them access them online."
Xiao Hongchen's eyes moved, but he didn't turn around: "Okay."
Just leave.
In the huge conference room, Zhuye Zuijiu was the only one left.
Although he received an affirmative answer from Xiao Hongchen, he still felt inexplicably uneasy.
The post hadn't been deleted yet, and he was flipping through it distractedly.
He didn't understand. It was just a post, how could it become such a big deal?
In the past, when he put pressure on others like this, didn't they all cry and beg for mercy? But, when he faced that person named Mo Se, he always fell flat on his face!
Zhuye Zuijiu became more and more annoyed as he thought about it. Just as he was about to close the post, he suddenly received an anonymous package.
"Protoss" allows players to send things anonymously, but they need to pay several times the price of ordinary packages. Unless they have a lot of money, normal people will not do this.
Zhuyezuijiu was already annoyed, and when he saw that someone was playing this anonymous game, he became even more annoyed and opened the package.
The package opened automatically and some long objects fell out.
He looked at the strange object with a puzzled expression at first, but suddenly, after a few seconds, when he realized what it was, his pupils widened!
impossible!
He stood up and the chair beneath him was knocked over, making a crisp sound on the smooth floor tiles.
Xia Mo, who was far away in the Wangcheng Post Office, received the message "The other party has received the package" from the system. He tapped his fingers twice on the mahogany table, and a contented smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
