The Great Thief - Chapter 461

Chapter 461

Of course, of the ten players, he was the only one riding the Headless Paladin Warhorse . As the rode, he left a small trail of flames which was the object of his teammates’ envy .

"What a show off; we shouldn’t have invited him," Azure Sea Breeze said indignantly .

Warriors were often quite slow, but this was further contrasted with the speed of a mount .

Both sides had opted for a similar strategy; they had both rushed out of their flag rooms and onto the middle of the field . There was going to be a head on confrontation!

They were definitely going to trade blows!

The intensity that was experienced in PVP was far greater than that of Instance Dungeons .

However, Lu Li didn’t participate in the charge . He had moved forward so quickly that no one behind him could keep up . As such, if he charged right into them he was definitely going to die .

There were many rookies on the battlefield, but they were mostly on the other side .

Level 30-34 was where the current high-level players of the game were at . Most, if not all players at that level were pretty good, but Dawn wasn’t one of those games where a single player could wipe countless others . Even someone as strong as Lu Li couldn’t fight 10 opponents by himself .

When he saw the enemies from afar, he quickly cancelled his ride and went into Stealth .

Dammit, these guys have no restraint .

Lu Li counted them up and saw that all ten of them were there . There was no one assigned to guard their flag, nor was there anyone ahead to steal the flag . They were all just blatantly charging ahead .

"Those behind me, take it easy . They sent all ten players . " Lu Li didn’t bother with them and just moved right past .

The key was to grab the flag; this was the ultimate objective . Of course, fights that were in your favor were important, otherwise, there might not be anyone to carry the flag home .

Lu Li slowly snuck into the enemy’s flag room .

The flag rooms were mostly the same . He took the familiar route towards the flag and pulled it up with some effort .

When the flag was lifted, all players received a prompt that the Horde flag had been taken . It also prompted the Horde players to retake their flag as soon as possible .

"Lu Li, careful, we’ve pushed them back to their base . " There was a clear satisfaction in this voice .

The key to their victory was Azure Sea Breeze . They had to fight an 8-on-10, but they still had a decisive victory, with the Alliance side only suffering two losses .

Dead players respawned at their respective Revive points, which was just outside the flag room .

At this rate, they would respawn just as he left the base . If he ran into them now, they would just gang up on him . Lu Li quickly turned around in search of a different exit .

Even if he took a different exit, there would definitely be someone waiting for him .

He also didn’t have time to wait for his teammate’s backup, but Lu Li didn’t panic . He ran around the tunnels and eventually reached a dead-end .

He didn’t want to make himself an easy target, but he was carrying the flag . This prevented him from entering Stealth, and players from either side could see him on the map . No matter where he hid, he would be found in minutes .

The reason he was wasting that bit of time was to get to the ‘shoes’ that were at the end of the tunnel .

These shoes weren’t physical shoes, but rather, were a speed buff . When Dawn first put this buff in, it was very strong – itgranted 100% movement speed and lasted for 30 seconds .

The only bad thing about it was its refresh frequency .

The moment he walked through it, Lu Li started moving at an incredible speed .

Lu Li dodged past the Horde’s Warrior’s Charge and continued running away .

The poor Tauren Warrior had been blown by so quickly that he was left in a daze . By the time he reacted, Lu Li was already far off into the distance .

He ran out from one of the exits and was now on the open field .

A group of players rushed out towards him and were chasing after the flag .

This time, Lu Li really felt like this was just a mob of players . They had no concept of intercepting and blocking, and were just charging straight at him .

However, Lu Li was still travelling at ten times his normal speed .

These players didn’t have any mounts, so they could only watch as Lu Li ran towards his teammates .

"Cain’s left Hand, you go and wait at their base . Hide yourself and don’t get found . "

When Lu Li rejoined his teammates, and it was no longer a critical situation, he began planning their next step .

"Alright, I got it . " Cain’s Left Hand wasn’t dumb; he immediately understood what Lu Li wanted to do .

When Lu Li got to his base, a new flag would refresh in the Horde’s . Cain’s Left hand could then immediately grab the new flag and save them a lot of time .

"Xiao Xiang, did anyone come to our base?" When Lu Li was rushing back he noticed that there were fewer players .

"I haven’t seen anyone, but my Flare is off cooldown . Should I use it?" Xiao Xiang had been waiting at their base to prevent anyone from stealing their flag .

"Cast it; I’m almost there . " Lu Li’s buff had disappeared, but he had other means of speeding up . He was a Thief after all .

He had initially worried that he would be intercepted just before he got to the base, but that didn’t happen . However, when he finally got to the base, he found a Druid, a Thief and Xiao Xiang in combat .

It wasn’t easy for Xiao Xiang to fight a one-on-two, but the Flare he had just thrown out revealed the Thief and the Druid . This costed them their surprise attack, so all they could do was recklessly charge at the Hunter and his pet .

Xiao Xiang’s pet was a gorilla; it was quite big and was more defensive .

The gorilla was quite suited to his playstyle, as he would constantly circle around it and occasionally shoot arrows . It was quite a headache for the Thief and the Druid .

This was virtual reality, so there was no way for them to just move through the pet to get to the hunter .

This gorilla also had a skill called Thunder Trample which was an area of effect stun . Both the Thief and the Druid had already been stunned once, which also made them lose their opportunity to surround him . The Thief was already at half HP .

Even without Lu Li, Xiao Xiang wasn’t necessarily going to lose .

Dawn had truly tuned the game for good balance, yet this balance didn’t stop strong players from exhibiting their natural talent and hard work .

When Lu Li came in with the flag, the Thief and Druid were shocked .

During that moment, Lu Li rushed forwards and casted Gouge on the Thief to stun him . This skill’s crowd control had a short duration, but Lu Li only needed a small window .

With a small window, he was confident that he could cast Shadowstrike with high Skill Completion .

With a high degree of Skill Completion on Shadowstrike, he could deal a 2 second stun . Even if some of the effect was resisted, it would still last for at least 1 second .

The Thief was already at half HP and had now been crowd-controlled .

Xiao Xiang didn’t need to wait for a cue either – he tanked the Druid’s attack and turned to riddle the crowd-controlled Thief with arrows .

The Thief’s HP quickly emptied out as he knelt forwards and died .

The Druid that remained wasn’t too bad; he had quite strong Defence and a lot of HP . Unfortunately for him, he was facing a hunter with a pet and the number 1 Thief on the rankings .
