Chapter 222 At the bottom of the mountain, another wave of Thieves had joined the fray . This was a total military defeat for the Light Faction .
Moreover, as more ordinary players started to join the battle, the scene became even more chaotic . Dawn didn’t mess around with the balance of the game, but there was definitely no single person who was any match for ten thousand people . In the chaos where skills were just being cast all over the place, even top-level expert players were being killed . In other words, technique didn’t matter anymore . “In the current circumstances, the expert players are at a disadvantage whilst the ordinary players are at an advantage . At this rate, the Silverwing Outpost will soon be in ruins,” a paladin said as he walked over . This was Ninja Turtle; he was in charge of leading the ordinary players into the battle . “Don’t be negligent, those Blood Red players will not admit defeat so easily . What is happening over at the Meisnera Outpost?” asked Sorrowless . “Their situation is dire; over half a million players have been killed . If it weren’t for the fact that they can continually reinforce, they would have lost to the Water Elementals a long time ago . Additionally, if we take the Silverwing Outpost, those Alliance dogs will be finished,” Ninja Turtle said gleefully . Sorrowless stared at him . “You idiot . You saw them die, but did you see their levels increase?” On the whole, countless players had died at the Meisnera Outpost, but they had also earned a significant amount of EXP . Those who died could easily just farm the EXP back, but the survivors in particular earned a lot of EXP . Ninja Turtle didn’t dare to say any more . Although everyone was just playing a game and didn’t need to answer to anyone else, Glory Capital was a corporation . So no one could oppose Sorrowless, they could only obey . “So what should we do?” “Just do whatever you need to do . ” “Didn’t you say they were gaining levels?”
“I don’t care what they’re doing, as long as you do what you need to do . The game company isn’t as dumb as you are; if they are gaining levels then us Horde players will soon get a similar event . ” “Yeah, yeah, you’re always right,” criticized Ninja Turtle in his heart, before heading back to the frontlines . Lu Li was nearby, squatting on the ground . He was still, like a stone that had been there since the ancient times . After some observation, he realized that players from all ranks would occasionally report to him . They didn’t all have something important to report either, some of them just wanted to show their face to Sorrowless . However, he didn’t seem to mind this behavior . He had likely always lived a life of indulgence, waking up intoxicated with beautiful women on his knees, with enough power in the palm of his hands to command a mighty force . He must have enjoyed this feeling very much . When this game reached legendary status, Glory Capital would only be taking in the best of the best . It would no longer go on comfortably like it was now . This was a game after all, and it was fair because everyone started at the same point . You needed to work hard to get results, otherwise you were likely to fall behind and regret it . Lu Li pulled up the game rankings and looked for quite a few minutes before finally finding Sorrowless’ level . Level 18! Considering his own rank, he never imagined that Sorrowless would be so far behind . Under his command of Glory Capital, he had over 10 thousand players at his disposal . He also had a further 10 thousand players who were smaller organizations that rallied under the same flag . But after the third System Update, the competition between guilds must have gotten fiercer, so he probably didn’t have any time to train . Lu Li was already level 22, so there was a 4 level difference . With a bit of luck, he would be able to kill him in a few hits .
But he first needed to find a way to get close to him . Lu Li dared to estimate that there was probably no less than 50-60 Thieves just in the surrounding area .
If Sorrowless stood completely still, Lu Li knew he could rush up to kill him because he had the Detection Badge . He would likely bump into quite a few Thieves - that’s how tightly packed they were . This was a game after all, so there wasn’t the high-tech security that was available in real life . Another player just turned up; he seemed to have reported good news as Sorrowless’ normally solemn face had a smile . He turned to pat the player on the shoulder before letting him go . This player seemed to be flattered and was really excited when he was walking away . Lu Li stared at the player’s face before breaking into a smile . Deception Orb . Undead, Thief, ID Blank Thief . At this point it is worth mentioning that the Deception Orb can change a player’s identity but not their appearance . You also couldn’t use an ID that was already taken, like Ninja Turtle or Blood Dagger . But, was there a certain appearance that Undead players had? Lu Li moved his jaw uncomfortably, trying to make sure that the effect wouldn’t just wear off . He then revealed himself at a distance and walked towards Sorrowless . He could feel several Thieves surrounding him as he approached . If he made any unusual movements, he would definitely be attacked . “I’ve never seen you before . ” It was impossible for Sorrowless to know everyone, but it wasn’t enough that he was an Evil Faction player . Regardless of whether it was Glory Capital, Blood Red War Flag, or a smaller guild, they would all be wary of undercover players posing as another faction . Lu Li stopped moving – continuing to move would have meant death . He then spoke in a hoarse voice that spirits normally use, “The Chrysanthemum Blossom Brigade greets you . My brother is stuck in battle and couldn’t leave . ” Chrysanthemum Blossom Brigade was a medium sized guild . But it was only medium for now, as it was one of the secret branches the Glory Capital had nurtured . Only Glory Capital’s few trusted players had the opportunity to know about this guild, so the ordinary players had no idea . Lu Li knew about them because a player called Nightedge had killed Azure Sea Breeze over and over with a few other players . But of course, that happened in his previous life . Even whilst they had a hostile relationship, Nightedge was one of the few people that Lu Li admired . Gossip spread when Nightedge and Sorrowless had a falling out . As Lu Li paid some attention to what had happened, it seemed like he was getting on good terms with Sorrowless . This effect worked better than Lu Li had anticipated . It was likely that Sorrowless didn’t ask anyone too much about Nightedge, so he just waved Lu Li through . Lu Li could sense the ambushing Thieves slowly back away . “My brother found a piece of equipment and he would like to give it to you . He told me to bring it over . ” Lu Li reached into his bag and pulled out a piece of equipment – he had killed so many players today, so he had an abundance of equipment . “Are you his sibling?” Sorrowless’ suspicions had mostly dissipated, but he couldn’t help but ask a few questions . “No, he only has sisters in his family; I’m his cousin . He calls me Blank Thief,” Lu Li said . He found himself drawing closer to Sorrowless as he tried to give Sorrowless the equipment . The gossip spoke of Sorrowless liking Nightedge’s younger sister, but she unfortunately chose the Light Faction… How could they get into a relationship if they were different genders? Keke, sorry that was a slip of the tongue, I meant if they were different factions . In short, it was a very melodramatic and complex situation . “I see, have you seen Darkness recently? Did she really run away from home?” Sorrowless now had complete trust . Someone who knew that Nightedge only had sisters was definitely a friend or a relative in real life . “Hehe…” Lu Li retracted his hands and replaced the equipment with a shining dagger . Gouge! Backstab! Ambush! Shadowstrike! Slit Throat! He didn’t get to use Cheap Shot . Despite the target being the president of Glory Capital, Lu Li didn’t even get through a single rotation of his skills before he killed him . A level 18 player, especially one that was light armored, was going to be vulnerable regardless of whether they were a president of anything . Lu Li quickly picked up the equipment and cast Gale Steps to vanish before the group of Thieves approached .
