The Great Thief - Chapter 910

Chapter 910
Cannon Master Willey was a sad character; he had already turned Undead at this point .


However, he had no clue what he had become . He still believed that he was alive and was fighting for his own beliefs . When he appeared in front of the players, his lines revolved around how all evil would eventually perish .
It was strange for an Undead to talk like this, but he was so serious that it was hard to find it funny .
As such, players felt sorry for him, but soon, they would begin to pity themselves .
Balzannar was thrilled to discover that Cannon Master Willey was still capable of using his superhuman strength after he had become an Undead . As such,he gave his useful servant a new name – Willey Hopebreaker . Balnazzar twisted the souls of Willey and the other Scarlet Crusaders, turning them into his minions .
The Hopebreaker was an appropriate name for the Boss . This became apparent when he began to cast his skills .
Summon Reincarnated Cannon Master: Every five seconds, Willey Hopebreaker summons three reincarnated cannon masters to help him in battle .
This meant that a monster would appear every two seconds . Besides the insane damage that they dealt, they were also harder to kill because they had more Health and Defense .
It was impossible for them to kill a monster within two seconds . At first, Lonesome Flower used his AoE skills, then Sesame Rice Ball began to do the same . In the end, everyone was following suit,
They hadn't taken down much of Cannon Master Willey's health, but were flooded by monsters instead .


This was how one of the wipes occurred .
"This is too hard," Wandering complained . After performing a few calculations, his expression didn't look promising . He felt like they had run into an unsolvable problem .
Lu Li sat on the floor to eat his bread and shook his head as soon as he heard it .
"An unsolvable boss wouldn't exist in a dungeon . There has to be something that we haven't discovered . We'll save the boss for later; we should have an investigation first . "
Dungeons were designed for players to complete, so there was no way that an unbeatable Boss would exist .
Wild Bosses or cities were a different story . Did the System really have to give players a chance to take down NPCs like Medivh and Thrall too?
There were also Strategists that were investigating the situation outside the Dungeon .
They would obtain video footage in real-time from Wandering, so they understood as much about the dungeon as those who were actually inside . All guilds took the opinion of their Strategists to heart .
Their wipe didn't make them upset or surprised . Instead, they were relieved .


Previously, when Lu Li and the others had killed Baron Rivendare, they were astonished .

Players like them who were in charge of crafting guides didn't have high-levels, and their techniques were most likely average as well . However, those of them who were asked to join had a good general game sense .
They had studied Stratholme extensively, so they knew that Baron Rivendare was a major Boss . Based on their estimations, it would have already been a victory for them to take down Baron Rivendare at the end of the day .
What surprised them was that Lu Li and the others had passed the Boss in one go . The guide they had come up with didn't even involve anything that was too technical .
Now that Lu Li and the others had wiped, they finally felt like he was a normal human as well .
Lu Li said that there had to be something left uncovered, so everyone began to look for clues .
"A wipe right at the start, and this guy is a cannon master . Aren't we going to die even more later?" Azure Sea Breeze sighed . He didn't mind being in the thick of the battle, but it was a big ask for him to find clues .
"Cannons, cannon!"
Someone in the strategy team had something click in their minds . Lu Li was also relieved to hear this . This was the downside to employing Strategists, but they definitely needed a team in the long run .
The cannons were definitely a key point; it took talent for someone to discover this so quickly .
Of course, Azure Sea Breeze's complaint had probably helped too . Since these monsters were too strong for the players, that meant that they would have to rely on other items in the scene .
There was a cannon place right in front of these players and it wasn't too hard for them to spot .
However, just finding the cannon was not enough, because everyone discovered that it contained no artillery shells . What were they supposed to do – lift the whole thing and ram it into the Boss?
"There have to be some artillery shells hidden somewhere . We should look around," Lu Li suggested . He felt like he was a God looking down on mere mortals; it was a special experience .
However, they still had not found anything, even after half an hour . If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't beat Cannon Master Willey, they probably would have already given up trying to find the shells .
"Here! This place can be opened!"
A scarlet colored painting on the wall had been pushed open by Hachi Chan, revealing a deep, black space full of artillery shells .
"There's a total of 24 . We'll need someone to use the cannon – anyone want to be in charge?" Lu Li asked as he looked at everyone .
Azure Sea Breeze: "Me!"
Lu Li: "Get out!"
"I'll do it," Sakura Memories offered . She was a buff Shaman, and at this stage, had a slightly awkward role in a team . They couldn't out-damage Thieves and Warriors, and also didn't have any AoE spells . At the very most, they could only place down some totems .
"Alright . Pass all the artillery shells to Memories . There's only 24 of them, so use them when the monsters are more packed," Lu Li instructed .
After this, they entered battle again . Wandering went out to gather the summoned monsters while the others dealt as much damage as they could to the Boss .
When Willey began to summon monsters, Wandering gathered them in groups of 30, then shouted, "Memories, you can start now! I can't hold on any longer!"
Sakura Memories aimed her cannon and fired away .
With one loud bang, the entire group fell to the ground .
Fortunately, Wandering was a part of the team and couldn't take damage from the blast .
Nineteen of the twenty-seven monsters had died, while the rest had about half of their health remaining . A few hammer-strikes from Wandering managed to strike a couple of them down . The remainders were nothing to be worried about; he just had to wait for next round cannon-fire .
Seeing that the situation was under control, those who were fighting the Boss were finally able to focus on their task .
