Chapter 584: Fearless’ “Strategy”

  The Assassins were naturally a jinx to Archers. Furthermore, they were in a short distance battle, so the Archers could not even fully utilise their skills. Easily, they eradicated most of the archers. The few remaining ones were also stabbed by Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher.

  “Old Blackie, what’s going on on your end?” Light and Arrows heard some movement from a distance, and asked on the chat.

  The resurrected Old Blackie quickly replied, “Hide well, those whom we attacked are not players. Instead, we exposed ourselves and they have occupied the ambush location.”

  “F*ck! We didn’t see anyone go over.” Light and Arrows and a few others were also hiding amongst the bushes but they did not see anyone go over.

  “The both of them are Assassins, experts too.” Old Blackie said. Only players around level 35 could be in this practice region and these were the top-ranking experts of the game. There were six of them in Old Blackie’s team and in just two rounds, they were wiped out. Hence, these two assassins were extraordinary.

  “Assassins…” Light and Arrows regretted after hearing those words. As there were no anti-Stealth skills, Assassin was the most formidable job in <<REBIRTH>>. More than half of the players in Light and Arrows were Archers and there was no one who could restrain Assassins.

  Initially, Light and Arrows wanted to teach these intruders in their practice region a lesson. However, he did not think that the opponent would be undefeatable. The two of them were not only Assassins. They were also experts. He knew he got himself into trouble.

  If they were all from the Dark Faction, it would not matter so much to be killed once. However, the trouble was that their opponent was from the Light Faction. Light and Arrows had been challenging monsters in this area and also had killed multiple players from the Berserk Thunder City, so he understood the PK rules very clearly.

  When one is killed by a player of the opposing faction, the drop rate and experience fall rate would be multiplied. His faction reputation would also be reduced. The killer would receive bountiful rewards while the killed would be punished.

  At this thought, Light and Arrows ground his teeth. Laying in the bush, he shouted, “Brothers opposite, it was a misunderstanding. We did not do it on purpose.”

  “Misunderstanding? Who are you kidding?”

  Quan Zhen Sect heard his words and burst out in laughter… Other than the fact that they were from opposing factions, those people simply started shooting without saying anything. Obviously, they were out to kill. Now that they were losing, they claim that it was a misunderstanding. What rubbish. Playing such lowly tricks in front of Quan Zhen Sect was nothing compared to what Quan Zhen Sect have done.

  “Erm, we are from Golden Axe Metal Horse Guild. This is our guild’s practice region. You guys came from across the mountains, right?” Light and Arrows knew that he could not convince Quan Zhen Sect and hence, brought up his guild.

  This meant: This is my territory, it is my right to attack you guys. You guys are from the Light Faction, so you should beware of causing trouble in the Dark Faction.

  “Golden Axe Metal Horse? Vagrant Horse’s guild?” Fearless asked.

  Golden Axe Metal Horse was an old ID in the gaming circle. Although it was not an enormous guild, its leader, Vagrant Horse, was relatively well-known. Hence, veteran players like Fearless naturally have had heard of him.

  This lad was doing so well in <<REBIRTH>> such that he could even call a level 40 practice region as his territory.

  “Yes! Yes! Yes! You know our leader?” Light and Arrows heard what Fearless said and climbed up a pole.

  Fearless replied, “Yes, we are old friends. We are players from the Berserk Heavenlaw. We are here to look for a few people, not to start trouble. We hope you can understand.”

  “We do, we do. If there is nothing else, we will leave now.” Light and Arrows said hurriedly as he felt that it was the best to resolve it peacefully.

  “Ok, go ahead…” Fearless replied calmly. At the same time, Ming Du took out his staff and recited a spell.

  Quan Zhen Sect did not know who it was, but this guy barely had any friends. If Vagrant Horse was really Fearless’ friend, he would not pretend to be from the Berserk Heavenlaw. It was easy to tell as to why he used Berserk Heavenlaw.

  Light and Arrows was not stupid. If Fearless introduced himself, Light and Arrows would unsuspectingly leave but since Fearless did not even mention his name, Light and Arrows did not trust him completely.

  “Little Shadow, test them.” Light and Arrows told the player beside him.

  The Archer called Little Shadow pulled out an arrow and copied Ming Du by putting a hat on it then raising it up.

  “Over there!”

  Little Shadow just raised the hat and a yell was heard. Soon after, a series of magic overshadowed Light and Arrows and his people.

  “Wow, four people’s experience has been wiped out, faction reputation at 8 points and their PK value reduced by 40 points.” After killing Light and Arrows and the rest in one round, Ming Du happily showed off.

  “Next time let me kill a few too.” Spring Halo said with envy.

  Just now when they were at the Berserk Thunder City, Quan Zhen Sect’s players’ PK values were exploding, especially Ming Du and Spring Halo. Their PK value had entered three digits. With such PK values, they would not dare to return without loitering outside for some time. Now that they saw that killing players from the opposing faction could reduce their PK value, Spring Halo was uncontrollably excited.

  “Let’s not celebrate too quickly. Look behind…” Just then, Frost Blade coldly sent a message while he was at the ambush location.

  Everyone turned their head after receiving the message and saw a black sea of people at the border entrance of the two factions. Hidden Lurker and Berserk Thundergod were the leaders in front.

  “Shit! Berserk Heavenlaw is really impossible to ditch! How did we even offend them?” Vainglory said upsettingly.

  If it was just Hidden Lurker and his people, it would be alright as, after all, Quan Zhen Sect and Hidden Lurkers were already enemies. After they made Hidden Lurker drop his items, he had enough reason to fight Quan Zhen Sect to his death.

  However, Quan Zhen Sect had no animosity with Berserk Heavenlaw. Even if they killed some of their people, it was because they were chasing them first. What hatred did they have for them that they would even chase them into the Dark Faction?

  Fearless said, “Just look at that dumb Berserk Thundergod. He must have been manipulated by Hidden Lurker.”

  “Let me tell him the truth.” Wang Yu was annoyed at how he was chased like a dog while simply trying to complete a quest.

  Ling Longmeng chuckled, “Do you think he will believe you?”

  “If he doesn’t, I will explain to him with my fist, until he believes me.” Wang Yu said seriously, “In such geography, they won’t be able to catch up with me when I start running.”

  “F*ck!” Ling Longmeng was annoyed.

  Everyone else said, “Trust him, Old Bull can even jump across a 120m wall, what can he not do…”

  Ling Longmeng, “…”

  “Haha, Old Bull, don’t be rash. Now isn’t the time to explain.” Fearless said smilingly.

  “Oh? What do you mean?” Wang Yu asked curiously.

  They had already chased us all the way here. If it was not the time to explain, was it the time to be wiped out?

  “Just think about it, Berserk Thundergod must have been manipulated by Hidden Lurker. How will he feel if he knows that he has been manipulated?” Fearless asked with a smile.

  “Angry, of course…”

  Not only Berserk Thundergod, even if someone with a good temper like Wang Yu was manipulated, he would be upset as well.

  “Yes, and if before that Berserk Heavenlaw suffered huge losses?”

  “Erm… He will tear Hidden Lurker apart.” Wang Yu was led by Fearless and finally understood what Fearless was trying to say.

  Where were they? Dark Faction! Near Dead Spirit City!

  When they were at Berserk Thunder City, Berserk Heavenlaw did suffer some losses, but Quan Zhen Sect only had ten-odd people. Their losses were nothing to their strength. How much harm can a tiny guild like Quan Zhen Sect bring to Berserk Heavenlaw? Even if Berserk Thundergod knew the truth, he would at most extort some money from Hidden Lurker.

  It was different in Dead Spirit Swamp. Berserk Heavenlaw was also foreign here, and even from the opposing faction. It was a deadly move for Berserk Heavenlaw, such a large target, to be loitering around Dead Spirit City.

  If they told Berserk Thundergod the truth after Berserk Heavenlaw suffered huge losses, he would feel great hatred and Hidden Lurker would not be able to escape.

  Another thing was that when people were in a downfall, they would trust people much more easily than when they are powerful. Now, Berserk Thundergod was strong and so, would unlikely to listen to Wang Yu’s explanation. After he lost some people, he might believe Wang Yu’s explanation.

  “You are indeed treacherous.” Wang Yu said sincerely after understanding Fearless’ intentions.

  If Fearless was scheming against anyone else, Wang Yu would hesitate but since it was Hidden Lurker, this a**hole, Wang Yu had no sympathy for him.

  “Hehe, what do you mean by treacherous? Hidden Lurker said that this is called strategy.” Fearless laughed.

  Light and Arrows regained consciousness at the resurrection location.

  Light and Arrows and the rest looked at one another with fury looks on their faces… Those guys had agreed to let them leave and yet, they surprise-attacked them. Where was the trust between people? What was more infuriating was that they too raised a hat. They only shot some arrows over and yet those guys threw an entire blanket of magic. How despicable.

  “Damn it! I can’t accept this!” Light and Arrows said angrily, “Berserk Heavenlaw, since you Light Faction people dare to wreak havoc in Dark Faction, you guys obviously don’t respect us.”

  Undeniably, Light and Arrows was indeed a leader. It was initially a four-people hatred, but he managed to use his words for it to become a faction animosity.

  “Right, since the Light Faction’s people have sent themselves to us, let’s round up some people to kill them!”

  The rest were upset initially but after Light and Arrows’ words convinced them, they immediately rounded up their anger and loyalty, and opened their friend list and guild chats to call upon their friends.

  Dead Spirit City did not have any big guilds, but it has multiple small guilds. With Light and Arrows, Old Blackie and the rest, the six of them were from two different guilds. At this rate, most people in Dead Spirit City will know that a bunch of players from the Light Faction were in the Dead Spirit Swamp region.
