The Great Thief - Chapter 463

Chapter 463

The badge was truly exquisite and Lu Li had no intentions of hiding it . After he was done, he immediately told Square Root 3 about it .

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hide it, but it was impossible to do so .

The quest was just too easy to trigger – as long as you had the patience to sit through ‘Mythology of the Titans’ you could do it . However, this book was quite boring, so not many players did it .

Nevertheless, among the millions of players in Dawn, there was bound to be someone who was bored enough to do it .

It was said that some people were so bored in real life that they could read instruction manuals for fun . These kinds of people would definitely have no problems reading this book .

Lu Li estimated that quite a few players already knew about this secret, but had chosen to stay quiet .

There was EXP and Glory Points rewarded for the battle .

The EXP gain was related to contact with the flag, but the Glory Points were related to kills . Since there was EXP and Glory Points to be gained, they spent the rest of the afternoon on the battlefield .

Occasionally, they would run into a strong team .

One time, they faced off against Gaze, Cloudy Leaf and Wendelian from Gale Legion . They had left a lasting impression since their battle at the Shadow Cup .

Gaze was a Warrior, who was not unlike Moonlight .

Cloudy Leaf was Gale Legion’s number one Mage, and was actually second only to Sorrowless . The Horde wasn’t like the Alliance, they only had three Mages . The Alliance side had Dancing Star Dream, Lucky Southern Persion, Wild, Deadly Green Orange, Fat Monkey and the Mage God Unforgetful Maple .

Wendelian was still a rising rookie, but she wasn’t a new player . She had served in Glory Capital and was Sorrowless’ main healer, until she was replaced by White Westhill .

It was said that Gale Legion had paid a price of $1 . 2 million for her .

Her performance in the Shadow Cup was quite remarkable and she was showing promise at a young age .

The other seven players weren’t from Gale Legion, but they were all elite players that were at least level 30 . Apart than Wendelian, there was also another Druid Healer .

At the beginning of the match, Lu Li went ahead to steal the flag but got ambushed .

Cloudy Leaf had taken the Druid Healer and a Paladin, and hid on the second flag of the Flag Room to attack Lu Li when he came to steal the flag .

In fact, Lu Li had underestimated his opponents . In the match before this, it was smooth sailing, and they didn’t even lose a single flag . He was only told by Moonlight while pulling out the flag that they had run into Gaze midfield .

Lu Li was frozen on the spot; he initially thought that it was a Mage .

A single Mage couldn’t do much to him . Even if it was Sorrowless, Lu Li wouldn’t be afraid . Lu Li had never lost to a single Mage before .

Of course, because he had lost the upper hand, Lu Li had to use his cloak’s effect to appear on the second floor .

When he got there, he was dumfounded .

There were actually three players upstairs . One of them was Cloudy Leaf .

Lu Li wasn’t afraid to fight them, but he had never intentionally fought a lost battle .

"Everyone is here I see . I’ll give your flag back to you," Lu Li said as he threw the flag onto the ground and turned to jump back down . While he was falling through the air, Lu li activated his shoe’s special effect and disappeared with Vanish .

He was simply giving up and was resolutely trying to get away . Cloudy Leaf just stared as Lu Li escaped .

He had never seen an expert act so shamelessly; Lu Li hadn’t even cast a single skill and was already escaping .

"Cloudy Leaf is in the flag room . There are three of them in there . I lost the flag," Lu Li reported to his teammates .

"There are two coming in to steal our flag," Xiao Xiang shouted . It seemed like he was struggling – after all, he was facing off against two players at once .

"Do we want to send two players back to support him?" Azure Sea Breeze asked .

"No need," Fat Monkey said confidently before Lu Li even responded . "What can Gaze do? They have three players in their base and two players in our base . Right now, they are fighting a five-on-eight . I don’t think they can hold us for long . "

Gale Legion’s tactics were the classic 2-5-3 composition – two players to steal, three players to protect and five players to fight . Only a particularly confident and highly-skilled team would do this .

It was likely that Gaze’s team had also been winning easily as well .

With a composition like this, the area that was problematic was the midfield .

With only five players to fight, it was clearly more difficult to fight if the opposing side had more players .

Gaze alone was facing Moonlight, Fat Monkey and Nuo Yu’s focus fire . He didn’t dare to move forwards to cast Whirlwind on the Alliance’s team .

If it weren’t for Wendelian backing him up with massive healing, Gaze probably couldn’t have kept up the fight .

However, her healing was also limited as she was being harassed by the opponents .

After Lu Li dropped the flag, he could go back into Stealth . Instead of leaving the flag room, he kept changing his position and occasionally dropped a Sap on the players there .

However, even if he crowd-controlled one of them, he still couldn’t beat all three .

Lu Li’s main purpose was to stall them so that they couldn’t support the midfield .

The System prompted that the Alliance’s flag had been taken by the Horde and that the Alliance should try to get it back . Lu Li saw that Wendelian’s name had been greyed out which meant that she was dead, but their flag had just been taken .

"Get out of here!" Fat Monkey cried out as Lu Li’s teammates were cheering .

Lu Li knew that Gaze had now also died . In fact, the Horde’s whole midfield force had been wiped . All of them, including the Priest Healer Wendelian had been sent back to the cemetery .

It wasn’t impossible to fight a five-on-eight, but this depended on the strength of the five players .

The five were facing Moonlight, March Rain, Fat Monkey, Nuo Yu and four other players . None of them were rookies and their equipment was mostly at the same level, so this wasn’t a surprising outcome .

Now, the Alliance’s flag had been lost, but the Horde had lost more players .

"Advance and suppress their cemetery . Moonlight and Monkey, you two get inside the flag room . Xiao Xiang, follow them when you revive . We want to continue pressuring them," Lu Li instructed as he barely escaped from his corner to avoid the Paladin’s Consecration .

Once the Consecration ended, Lu Li went and Sapped the Druid healer .

Moonlight charged in, along with Fat Monkey who aimed his skills at Cloudy Leaf .

Mages were a Cloth armor profession, so they were undisputedly the first target . Lu Li and Moonlight with Fat Monkey were all targeting him at the same time . The other Paladin hesitated for a moment before going to attack Fat Monkey .

He probably also felt like attacking a cloth armored target was easier .

Cloudy Leaf was stunned by Lu Li’s Kidney Shot, but he never recovered from it .

After the Mage died, Lu Li and Moonlight turned to kill the Paladin . At this point, the Druid was still in a Sapped state and could only watch as his teammates were being killed .

This was what it was like to not have the badge .
