White Westhill was furious, but there was nothing she could do .

This was a game where commanding skill was important, but it was not as important as the comparison of strength . Blood Red War Flag and the Night Watchmen’s combined forces greatly exceeded Glory Capital’s strength . Not to mention, the timing and angle of attack by the Night Watchmen was devastating .

Lu Li! This had to be Lu Li!

White Westhill nervously chanted this name over and over again – the name that had been

the reason for her nightmares .

“What happened?” Sorrowless asked as his voice connected . He saw the mess in the guild channel and knew that something wasn’t right .

“We were fighting with Blood Red War Flag, and then Ruling Sword came,” White Westhill summarized briefly . Even so, Sorrowless immediately understood the situation that Glory Capital was now facing . He was aware of Blood Red War Flag’s strength . In the past few years, they were Glory Capital’s number one opponent . He didn’t know how strong Ruling Sword’s Night Watchmen were, but he did understand that every time Lu Li did something, it would cause him headaches .

“Why did Ruling Sword intervene?” Sorrowless further questioned .

There was a common rule in the gaming circle that when two super clubs were fighting, others should stay out of it . If you dared to participate, then the club would likely deal severely with you after the fallout .

Glory Capital and Blood Red War Flag had found themselves at Brokeback Mountain fighting each other . Both clubs had originally intended to clear out the area, and both had the attitude that the other should back down lest they face the consequences . Eventually, it broke out into an all-out battle .

Logically speaking, Ruling Sword had no reason to participate in the battle .

Lu Li had to consider the consequences of entering the fight . Blood Red War Flag wouldn’t mind, but Glory Capital would definitely ask for an explanation . They couldn’t just say it was because they were from the same faction . These players had travelled far from the Hellfire Citadel to reach the Brokeback Mountain precisely so they wouldn’t be bothered .

Unfortunately, Ruling Sword had entered the battle and was fighting without reservation .

“It is probably because of Water Fairy and the plan to bother her . Now, we’ve annoyed Lu Li,” White Westhill said with a wry smile . City Smoke was Glory Capital’s Intelligence Chief who thought that Lu Li had played a disgraceful role in Darkness leaving Sorrowless . His boss had been humiliated, so he wasn’t happy either and was trying to find a way to get at Water Fairy .

This time, it was actually a curious coincidence that they managed to have an opportunity to target Water Fairy .

Unfortunately, the developments that resulted from that were beyond their control .

“What an idiot!” Sorrowless cried out .

“Ahem, he is also quite indignant about it . It seemed like a good idea at first,” White Westhill responded . She was standing in for City Smoke .

“I don’t blame him for taking initiative, since he has been appointed as Chief of Intelligence . However, he did something that clearly worked against our interests . I called him an idiot because he did something that exposed us . Tell him that if this happens again, he is done,” Sorrowless said furiously . “What is the situation now?”

“It is not looking good . Everyone is fighting very bitterly . How long do you need?” White Westhill asked with a sad expression .

“Then withdraw . It wouldn’t be any use for me to be there anyway,” Sorrowless said .

“The losses are too great . Wendelian will soon be bringing in people to support us . ”

White Westhill was a little dumbfounded . As a senior commander, she should be familiar with what to do .

“Lu Li likely has reinforcements as well, so pressing on might not be that useful . We’ll break it off and settle this with them later,” Sorrowless said decisively .

As such, Lu Li soon saw the Glory Capital players adjusting their formation .

“They want to retreat . Wandering, get some teams to surround them . ”

Lu Li identified Glory Capital’s strategic attempt and relayed the info to Jade Flower Lover .

White Westhill apparently didn’t notice that Lu Li was in the sky and could see what they were doing . Otherwise, she might have just told everyone to conduct a mass retreat, which might have worked better .

“Do you really want to trap them all? There is a lot of them . ”

Jade Flower Lover looked at Lu Li . I fact, he was happy . They had been fighting Glory Capital for a long time and the losses were beginning to feel heavy . He couldn’t wait to slaughter Glory Capital .

Lu Li’s decision was exactly what Jade Flower Lover was thinking, and he immediately directed his players to participate in the encirclement .

Trying to surround Glory Capital wasn’t that easy either . It would have been almost impossible with just Blood Red War Flag, but with the addition of Ruling Sword’s Paladins, it all became possible .

In fact, when Glory Capital got into a retreating formation, they were already doomed to fail .

They couldn’t teleport back to the city, so they had to retreat and fight at the same time . White Westhill was trying to get into a Horde town, so that the Horde NPCs could help in defending against Blood Red War Flag and Ruling Sword .

Unfortunately, Lu Li, while watching from the sky, had already put everything in place .

After Water Fairy was out of trouble, the Drizzle Court and Peerless City armies were no longer engaged . They left the battle early and moved to this location at Lu Li’s request . When Lu Li saw Glory Capital moving, he finally made his move .

Glory Capital had not experienced this in the years since Sorrowless debuted . It was only at the beginning when they first started growing and the major clubs of the time tried to obstruct them .

Dying here meant losing EXP, but it also affected the surrounding players’ morale .

In the end, White Westhill only managed to escape with a few dozen players . Thousands of other players died and most of them died on the retreat . Blood Red War Flag, who had participated in the encirclement, had also lost about a thousand players . Ruling Sword, who had a more mobile unit, had only lost about 100 players .

A large amount of equipment was dropped, and the players who participated in this battle were generally unhappy .

However, the consequences were also obvious . From then on in the Hellfire Peninsula, Glory Capital, the Ruling Sword three-party alliance and Blood Red War Flag would fight in many

more bloody battles where everyone suffered .

It lasted for more than a week until the first Stronghold War since the opening of the Outland .

The angry Glory Capital obviously wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity, and even an idiot could work out who their target would be – it was either Blood Red War Flag or Ruling Sword . It was actually a matter of time for the both of them, and only the order was unknown .

As for the possibility of them both being attacked at once, there was a slim chance of it being so, but Sorrowless was unlikely to spread himself out in that way .
