Chapter 376: Chapter 357: Guild War
"Look, those are members of the Celestial God Hall guild, wow, so many have arrived!"
Beside the Teleportation Array in White Tiger City, a group of players watched in shock as players continuously emerged from the array:
"Which guild is this now?"
Someone instinctively responded:
"I think this is the eleventh guild already. Damn, this is going to change everything!"
Someone else, fearful, remarked:
"It’s already a complete massacre out there. Anyone who approaches is being killed; they’re killing on sight!"
"They’re all seeing red, damn, that’s insane."
At this time, a newly logged-in player expressed confusion:
"What’s going on? How did this fight start? It’s so crazy!"
Some informed players started sharing:
"I think it all started when Proud Gaze and the Holy Hall wanted to surround and destroy the Divine Court. Then Qingyi Pavilion, Heavenly Dao Alliance, and Tingyu Pavilion also got involved."
"Then the Famous Clan and Ice and Snow Illusion City joined in, and more and more kept coming."
"Now, the top ten guilds on the guild power rankings are all fighting there; it’s absolute madness, you’ve got no idea who’s who."
"I feel like after this, there will be a major reshuffle among the guilds."
Someone suggested on the side:
"Anyway, this has nothing to do with us freelance players, let’s just watch it unfold."
"Yeah, let’s just wait for the final outcome."
"But one has to say, this Divine Court usually stays low-key. Suddenly having so much support has really stunned everyone."
......
This was originally just Lin Yi’s trial mission; no one could have imagined it would develop into:
The biggest chaos in the game so far, with more than a dozen top-tier big and small guilds involved.
It all got out of control the moment Handsome Guy brought in Famous Clan.
Especially when Mu Lingxue got the news and joined the battle with Ice and Snow Illusion City without hesitation...
Even the Drunkard of Shengshi didn’t foresee the Divine Court having such influence.
Yet as the catalyst, the Divine Court fell apart in the pincer attack from Lin Yi and Shengshi with the Holy Hall.
Plus, with Divine Hall Yingying and others constantly assassinated by the elusive Tian Ci and Red Eyes, they were quickly wiped out.
This was originally meant to be a suppression and annihilation of the Divine Court.
When the Divine Court Guild was about to be wiped out, everyone thought this chaos would end.
But no one expected the Divine Court side to, like mad dogs, charge toward Ice Wind Valley as if they had nothing to lose.
Facing the aggressive Divine Court, Drunkard and Lord on this side couldn’t back down, and as tempers flared, more guilds got involved.
But what surprised Drunkard was that those who should have had the advantage were struggling more and more in the fight.
Especially since Shengshi Dynasty included not only the second-ranked guild on the guild power rankings, but also the first-ranked Proud Sanctuary, the third-ranked Famous Clan, the sixth-ranked Ice and Snow Illusion City, and even later reinforcements from the Hall of Fame and other top-ranked guilds.
Yet even so, they couldn’t crush Divine Court.
Where was the problem?
Soon people realized the problem!
The issue was that among the many guilds participating, aside from the mentioned guilds and a guild named Hall of Fame that sided with the Shengshi Drunkard, the remaining dozen or so guilds were all from this suddenly risen "mysterious" guild, the Divine Court.
No one foresaw how the Divine Court achieved this.
However, this didn’t stop everyone from realizing that after this battle, the guild power structures in the Hua Country War Zone might also undergo a reshuffle.
Just as the killing roars outside Ice Wind Valley were deafening, Lin Yi led the mercenaries, braving the wind and snow toward the dilapidated village after wiping out the Divine Court players.
On the way, Tian Ci suddenly said:
"The outside’s all gone crazy now, shouldn’t we go help?"
Lin Yi suddenly paused in place.
Handsome Guy, annoyed, gave Tian Ci a smack on the head:
"Does Boss Feng need your guidance in doing things?"
Lin Yi glanced outside Ice Wind Valley, showing a helpless expression:
"This task is very important to me now, and there’s a time limit I can’t afford to waste."
Then, Lin Yi continued walking inside:
"Let’s finish this quickly, hopefully, we can make it out in time."
Although Lin Yi wasn’t sure about the situation outside.
Handsome Guy was like a live broadcast, constantly conveying information from the forum to everyone about the current external situation.
Actually, Lin Yi felt deeply moved at the moment.
Ever since breaking up the Divine Hall, the course of this game had completely deviated from Lin Yi’s control.
It was from there that the butterfly effect of his rebirth finally resulted in change, making this life in the game completely diverge from the last.
Divine Court, a guild Lin Yi initially didn’t think much of.
Yet no one foresaw that this fringe player, in just a few months, would gain enough power to challenge the established guilds like Shengshi in the game, stirring up turmoil in the Hua Country War Zone.
Lin Yi was genuinely puzzled: How did it manage to do that?
Tian Ci suddenly said:
"We’re here, it’s right there."
Everyone stopped, and a distinctively styled building eerily stood amidst the ruins, conspicuous and striking.
Around the building, wizards cloaked in black robes stood, levels ranging from 40-45.
Additionally, there was a team of well-equipped Divine Court guild members.
These probably were the high-ranked fighters placed here by Divine Hall Yingying.
At this moment, Lin Yi couldn’t help but admire the remarkable intelligence of Divine Hall Yingying.
Suddenly, Lin Yi casually sent an attack toward an inconspicuous corner:
"Arcane Missile"
"Boom!"
"-8680"
A hidden thief couldn’t even let out a cry before Lin Yi instantly killed him with ease.
Lin Yi said:
"Xinying, you’re up."
Zhang Xinying responded, spread her four wings, and flew into the sky.
Lin Yi continued:
"Everyone else, be careful, there are likely a lot more thieves hidden around."
Soon, the sound of rattling chains came, and Xiao He finally had his chance to show off:
"Don’t worry, with me here, no one will get close."
A thick chain seemed like a toy in Xiao He’s hand, emitting a terrifying scratching sound.
"Boom!"
The iron ball at the chain’s end smashed into the ground, burying itself into the snow, leaving no doubt of its power.
Handsome Guy laughed at Xiao He:
"This is your first task with our mercenary corps, right? Good luck, I have faith in you."
Xiao He laughed:
"You guys just focus on attacking, leave the rear to me."
Thanks to the synergy built during leveling up, bit by bit.
This team had long formed its own core.
Even if Lin Yi didn’t say anything, they’d figure out their roles based on their professional roles in any environment.
Xiao He, as a Chain Madman in a rare profession, had the greatest trait of wide attack range and defense not inferior to Shield Warriors but even more agile in action than them.
His role was perfectly suited to protect the rear.
Feeling the close camaraderie among the group, Lin Yi smiled in satisfaction:
"Alright, everyone get ready."
Stable as a mountain tapped the back of his large shield, laughing:
"I’ve been dealing with low-damage ruins monsters for so long, I was afraid my shield would rust."
"Finally, I can put it to good use."
The Enchanting Demon, now known as Disappeared Melody, showed a determined look on her charming face:
"I’m ready."
Zhan Chen whispered behind her:
"Be careful."
Disappeared Melody:
"Mm."
Tian Ci and Red Eyes both entered stealth:
"The two of us will handle those squishies over there."
Saying so, the two spread their wings and soared into the sky from Lin Yi’s view.
A Dragon’s Roar echoed through the Gloom Valley, Lin Yi smirked coldly:
"Go!"
