The Great Thief

There were no large-scale battles that could be hidden from other clubs.

Blood Red War Flag had made a killing move to its allies. Instantly, all the other clubs felt vulnerable. Originally, there were a couple of close clubs that immediately moved away from each other in fear that they would become the next target.

Those with the greatest sense of crisis were Peacetime Dynasty, Grand Hegemony and Majin Temple.

Even though Majin Temple and Blood Red War Flag were both allies with a long history, these two clubs both acted like maniacs who fought with each other from time to time.

One minute they could be helping each other out, and the next they could be in a brutal conflict.

These three clubs quickly joined together and formed a loose alliance.

Azure Guard moved closer to Grand Hegemony unconsciously. It was as if they had decided to get rid of a competing opponent, like what Blood Red War Flag had done.

Azure Guard was indeed quite amazing, but they faced the alliance of three other clubs. Outside, they would have no fears even if these three clubs were allied together. However, in Stronghold battles, every side could only enter 80 people. Against 240 other players, they would be destroyed.

However, Azure Guard was Azure Guard indeed. Even if they had no Strongholds, they were still in the top ten.

The alliance of the three clubs suffered great losses. Altogether, they had less than 150 people left.

There was significant noise from the battle. Things had only just begun to settle down before Blood Red War Flag involved themselves. They didn’t try to take out the 150 players right away, otherwise, they would suffer considerable losses.

They only went for Peacetime Dynasty and Grand Hegemony. The players of Majin Temple not only didn’t come to the aid of the allies, but even helped Blood Red War Flag wave their swords.

Majin Temple had suffered the least from the battle with Azure Guard just then, with only 20 or so killed and more than 50 remaining.

A while before this, Wings of Dawn and Gangnam Royals also crossed each other.

Elevenless bumped into the players of Gangnam Royals and couldn’t help but taunt them. He would never let go of such an opportunity to sneer at the former number-two-club who had since fallen out of the top ten.

The Boss of Gangnam Royals, Heart of War, was no longer that arrogant person that he once was.

He had been taught lessons by Lu Li repeatedly.

This time, he saw the situation of the Stronghold battle and had given up hope on taking it. They already lacked top-level experts. Stronghold battles always relied on numbers to win, so they were naturally on the weaker side.

After being taunted by Elevenless’ few words, Heart of War suddenly flashed a wide smile that showed his teeth. Then, all the players of Gangnam Royals rushed toward Wings of Dawn.

Even if there was a difference in their capabilities, Wings of Dawn suffered severe losses. Their team had been cut in half.

Elevenless’ face was stunned. He completely had no idea why this had happened.

He had never met such a petty person. All he had said were a few words.

Elevenless was like a rabid dog searching for the others and in the end found the four clubs that were still engaged in a messy battle.

They immediately rushed in and killed anyone they saw.

Blood Red War Flag and Majin Temple had originally already been in the superior position, but they didn’t want to lose too many people so they controlled the rhythm of the battle. They wanted spend time to get rid of the other two clubs, given the condition of not losing too many of their own people.

Who knew that Elevenless would stir the pot like this?

Now, it was essentially impossible to end the battle without losses.

As such, they no longer held back. Each side fought with their own true abilities.

“This is crazy,” Innocent Child whispered as he squatted next to Lu Li. He was a leopard now and could also Stealth.

“It’s better being crazy. It’ll be easier for us to reap the rewards,” Lu Li responded with a wicked smile. He was more than satisfied with the situation in front of him.

“It’s still better being a Stealth profession. I think in the future with these types of battles, everyone will send Stealth professions in.”

Innocent Child had a face filled with worry. Their war tactics weren’t technical – anyone could use them.

“The solution is actually quite simple. All you need to do is to go for the Stronghold tablet. It doesn’t matter how many Stealth professions there are; it’s a one-way track to death,” Lu Li said plainly.

The strategic plan he thought of was as easy as falling off a log.

There was no perfect solution in this world to begin with. Even if there was, it wouldn’t be called a solution. It would be called a game bug.

“Then what do we do now?” Innocent Child asked.

“Notify that team to go for the Stronghold tablet. We can participate in the battle on our side too. We’re not aiming for victory. We just need to delay time,” Lu Li answered as he waved his hands. The many Thieves and Druids who stood behind him started to edge towards the centre of the battle.

Jade Flower Lover had a big headache, but he couldn’t do anything.

“Eleven, I’ve even taken you out to dinner before – have you forgotten?”

If Elevenless took his people and went off, then he and Unforgettable Maple would have nothing to worry about.

Blood Red War Flag and Majin Temple had joined hands to deceive the others. They had agreed upon this before entering the battle.

“Stuff you. Today, you’re all going to be be dead meat!” Elevenless cried out as he wielded his axes and went straight for Jade Flower Lover.

Then at this point, the notification that the Stronghold tablet was being attacked rang next to everyone’s ears. Jade Flower Lover was instantly upset.

The stronghold tablet had high HP, so it wasn’t easy to claim. As long as he got there in time, he could block the attempt.

However, the premise was that he could get there in time. Now with the messy battle on his side, he couldn’t even get away.

“Elevenless, are you mad?! Did you not hear that the stronghold tablet is being attacked? We might as well join forces and go target Lu Li!” Jade Flower Lover shouted.

“Hmph, we can’t get the Stronghold anyways. I have to make this as messy as possible. Don’t get too up with yourselves.”

Elevenless was a rascal and hooligan from head to toe.

“I can give you money, okay?” Jade Flower Lover was nearly in tears.

“How dare you use money to humiliate me! Guys, chop him up!” Elevenless howled.

On this side, the players of Ruling Sword had finally joined the battle. They couldn’t allow Blood Red War Flag and Majin Temple do as they pleased. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that Ruling Sword could break into the Stronghold tablet in such a short amount of time.
