The Great Thief - Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Ruling Sword's advance didn't last for too long .

The Horde simply added some reinforcements which solved their problem . They easily killed many players with their turrets and Ruling Sword's morale dropped by quite a bit .

"This isn't working . " Square Root 3 could feel his heart aching .

It felt good to have the Horde forced up against their wall, but too many of their players had died . Most importantly, you couldn't pick up the equipment that you dropped . They were giving items away for free .

"Play it safe . I'll try to come up with something . "

Lu Li didn't fly too close to the Gorgrom Camp; the turrets were too strong .

Although most people wouldn't be bored enough to aim a turret at a crow, their eyes were quite sharp . What if they realized he was a player? He would die in one shot .

Ruling Sword had lost their advantage after their attack wave was successfully defended, so Square Root 3 informed all group leaders to tighten their defense line . The twelve groups sent out to attack dropped down to five .

"Haha, talk more . Why aren't you guys coming anymore?" On the walls, the Horde players were taunting their attackers .

"Ruling Sword, you guys came to give us your equipment, right? I've picked up a weapon . Who dropped it? If you call me grandpa I'll give it back to you . "

All sorts of spiteful words were hurled towards the Alliance . The Horde players instantly felt better about their previous defeat .

The commander on the Northside thought that Ruling Sword was scared, so they sent out more Horde players . They didn't like being on the defensive either .

Around 700 to 800 Horde players swarmed out from the North gate . Some jumped down from the walls; their landing didn't deal much damage to them . Besides, there were a bunch of healers on the wall tossing out healing spells .

They grouped together with the Paladins and Berserkers at the front and ranged classes at the back, then charged towards Ruling Sword's camp .

If they couldn't make an advance, the others at the back will definitely support them .

These Horde players had wanted to make their move for a long time already . Ruling Sword had placed themselves in danger since there was no support behind them .

Lu Li didn't participate in the defense . Even in this small corner, there were thousands of players battling . If he jumped down, he would simply be asking for death .

This battle was too hopeless, but he was the hope of the guild . He couldn't jump in like other professional competitors and kill as many players as he wanted .

However, he had to do something – he was well and aware of the threat that the Gorgrom Camp posed .

The resistance army camp had been destroyed, so the other Alliance defenses had a reason to join in now, but Lu Li didn't really place his hopes in this .

Most Alliance forces had their own responsibilities in different areas and usually wouldn't leave . Those in the resistance army camp were Horde players, not the Horde faction itself . It was rare for NPCs to fight players – this only happened when they were attacked first and they had to fight back .

If the Alliance NPCs didn't help them, they could only rely on Alliance players .

Although there were millions of Alliance players in Stranglethorn Vale, there were just as many in the Horde . They also had the geographical advantage and could afford to drag out the battle .

Lu Li thought for a while and felt like it wouldn't be too hard for them to take down their frontline defense .

After all, players weren't real soldiers . If a few thousand elite players gathered and focused their attacks on one area, it wouldn't be too hard to make a breakthrough . Lu Li had seen many of these instances in his life; this was quite a popular tactic .

But what would happen after they made a breakthrough? He couldn't possibly hope for these players to stand their ground and kill Aggro'Gosh or Mok'Thardin .

Hence, Lu Li gave up trying to slaughter the Gorgrom Camp .

To be fair, if they did make a breakthrough, it would make Ruling Sword look good . However, they would have to do this in the face of the great advantage that the Horde players have .

They couldn't afford to give time to the opposing expert players . Although Ruling Sword claimed to have 60,000 players, they didn't have the qualities to stand up to their title . If they asked for reinforcements, they wouldn't look as good .

After he filtered out all possibilities, Lu Li bitterly shook his head . What was he supposed to do – ask monsters for help?

Right, why didn't he think of that earlier!?

Lu Li was so excited by the thought that he nearly dropped from the sky .

In this case, a reference to a Thief called Shadow Wind had to be made . He wasn't the typical solo player, but after the incident, he became more famous than the celebrity players .

Apparently, on the day, Stranglethorn Vale was in good weather . Elevenless from Wings of Dawn brought groups of 600 men to take down a level 50 boss in the wild .

Based on how major guilds functioned, what they were about to do was normal .

At the time, Shadow Wind happened to be hanging around and had been cleared out from the area . He wasn't impressed, and thought to himself, "You do you – I'm not going to go over and cause trouble . Why did you clear me out? I'm a top player too; you can't just take me out when you feel like it . "

Since he was upset, he used his technique to kill some players from Wings of Dawn .

Unfortunately, he ran into Elevenless . Although Elevenless often died to others, he was still a top-ten Warrior player . If he was in a good state, he could even make it into the top three . Elevenless killed Shadow Wind after he casted Gale Steps .

Shadow Wind was furious .

It was strange how he could kill others but would get mad when other players killed him . Most players were like this though, but this was besides the point .

More importantly, Shadow Wind had been in this area since he was level 15 and had stayed until he was level 50 . He knew the map well – every blade of grass, every tree and every single monster . He even knew secrets that others did not .

He managed to lure out the Ogres from Mosh'Ogg .

These were a strong bunch who could compete against the Trolls . Although they were lesser in number, they were strong enough to fight against the Trolls, and even captured some for their meals .

They governed their surroundings and no one dared to intrude their territory . Even level 50 players didn't want to catch their attention .

The giant army, led by their two bosses Mai'Zoth and Roloch, followed behind Shadow Wind . The group from Wings of Dawn had no way to fight against this and they all died .

Apparently, Gold and Silver equips were strewn all over the ground . A few players who heard of the news came and picked it all up .

As for Shadow Wind, he died in the situation too, but this didn't stop him from being a legend . For months, Wings of Dawn members hunted him down .

Lu Li never really envied Shadow Wind – he was someone who did whatever he wanted and wasn't the best role model for a professional gamer . He was envious of the average players who had picked up the dropped equipment .

As for the details of what happened with Shadow Wind and how he did it, this was eventually discovered by some other players . The system eventually fixed this bug in the patch after .
