“Who is it, who is it, WHO IS IT???” Going Against the Current, having failed in his attempt to advance, continued to roar in the guild channel. This was quite rare; Going Against the Current was usually quite tolerant and rarely lost his composure.

"We didn't see anyone when we got to the tent," someone said in the channel.

"If there was no one, was it a ghost?" Going Against the Current raged as he charged towards the resurrection point. When he had come here to welcome Oathless Sword, he had felt a sense of joy, but now there was only anger. Every small flower and blade of grass along the way was trampled by Going Against the Current.

"Who is it, who is it, WHO IS IT???" Along the way, Going Against the Current ran into the quest player who had been killed and grabbed him to ask.

"I...I don't know!" The player being interrogated was called Ban Yue, and he was an insignificant figure in Against the Flowing Wine. This time, the Ghost God firm had accepted the task, and the guild had attached great importance to it. Even the guild leader had personally come to inquire, and elite members were arranged to protect him. This treatment excited him. Who would have thought that something like this would happen at the last moment? When Ban Yue entered, he noticed someone in the corner of his eye, but before he could turn his head, he was already at the resurrection point. He really didn't know who it was.

"You were killed and you don't know who it was?" Going Against the Current roared.

"Stealthed?" Someone next to Going Against the Current interjected.

"Yes, yes, stealthed! And the attack was very high, an instant kill." Ban Yue seized the opportunity to shift the blame. Although he didn't know who it was, he could have been sure that the person wasn't stealthed, but seeing Going Against the Current's angry appearance, Ban Yue quickly claimed that the person was stealthed. This way, his responsibility could be reduced a lot. It was normal not to know who the stealthed assassin was.

"No wonder they could sneak into the tent without anyone knowing," someone next to Going Against the Current said.

"Didn't we send anti-stealth people? What were they doing?" Going Against the Current lashed out again in the guild channel.

Pitifully, some people didn't even know that the mission had failed and were still fighting desperately with the members of Spear and Rose. Going Against the Current's criticism meeting had already begun.

"Anti-stealth is also a matter of probability. Since someone sneaked in, then the probability didn't trigger," Han Jia Gongzi said fairly.

"Could it be Sword Demon?" Going Against the Current suddenly thought.

"I can't contact him right now. I'll ask him for you later," Han Jia Gongzi said nonchalantly.

Suspicion arose in the guild. Everyone knew about Han Jia Gongzi's relationship with Sword Demon Gu Fei in the mercenary group. In addition, they weren't familiar with Han Jia Gongzi in the first place, so some people suspected that he had let the person in on purpose. Seeing that his tone seemed indifferent, someone followed up Han Jia Gongzi's nonchalant attitude with a sarcastic remark: "Could it be that you intentionally let them in?"

Han Jia Gongzi sneered, "Even if I wanted to let them in, are these hundred or so people all without brains and eyes?"

Some of the hundred or so people with brains and eyes couldn't stand it after hearing that sarcastic suspicion, and they were still fighting bloody battles.

"Mo Ming, shut your motherfucking mouth!!!"

"Who intentionally let people in? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Looking for a beating, are you?"

"I'll fuck your ancestors!!!"

The man with the ID Mo Ming offended more than a hundred people at once with a thoughtless remark. Some cursed directly, others retaliated with sarcasm, and still others posted pictures of their best weapons to show that they would use them to teach him a lesson. Mo Ming didn't dare to say anything and just found a tree to cry against.

"We're all brothers, Mo Ming, don't talk nonsense." Even Going Against the Current stood up and criticized him. This matter could be big or small. If they really followed Mo Ming's thinking, then it would become a big deal. It was just a game. If you really don't trust me, I'll just leave. Who would stay here and suffer this grievance like a grandson? There were thousands of people in the guild, but not many of them had a deep emotional connection with the guild.

Going Against the Current himself didn't suspect Han Jia Gongzi at all, for the reason that Han Jia Gongzi said, even if he wanted to let the water in, the hundred or so people he commanded weren't without brains. Could he send everyone away and let the others in? Going Against the Current dared to hand over the command to Han Jia Gongzi, who wasn't exactly a confidant, because he had already figured this out. Moreover, there were people he absolutely trusted among those hundred or so people. They could be considered supervisors, and if Han Jia Gongzi really engaged in any private dealings, these people would definitely inform him.

But without exception, these people praised Han Jia Gongzi's layout and command. Especially the fact that he knew the other party was monitoring in the bushes but remained calm, arranging everything and waiting for the other party to walk into the trap. It could be said that he had considered every detail. If anything went wrong at this point, it could only be said that it was bad luck, and no longer something that human power could prevent.

"Maybe the person who suddenly appeared wasn't a player, but just a part of the mission?" someone guessed.

"Possibly, alas, we were careless!" Going Against the Current was depressed. "Everyone else try again, can we re-accept this mission?"

"No, we tried," the players still stuck in the quest reported.

"How's the battle going?"

"Easy victory, a few escaped."

"Then everyone come back! Remember, pretend nothing happened, don't target the people from Spear and Rose, we'll settle this after the city war is over," Going Against the Current instructed. He had obviously calmed down at this point. His initial impulsiveness was understandable, after all, he had been busy and looking forward to it for more than two hours, and then suddenly it was destroyed in the last minute. The Bayern Munich team in the 1999 Champions League final understood this feeling best. Please search on Baidu for more information.

Gu Fei and Sword Demon returned to Cloudend City and went their separate ways to hand in their quests. Sword Demon's was closer, but when he handed in the quest, he didn't see any rewards, so he was puzzled. He asked Gu Fei, who hadn't handed in his quest yet. He also thought of Xiao Lei, the hotel owner, whom everyone had added as a friend. Sword Demon sent a message to ask, and he also said there were no rewards.

"Maybe they'll be distributed uniformly after the city war is over," Xiao Lei guessed.

"Does your quest have a sequel?" Sword Demon asked.

"Yes," Xiao Lei said.

Sword Demon was depressed. Everyone had one, but he didn't. "What is it?" Sword Demon asked Xiao Lei.

"They said it's not enough, and asked me to deliver another batch," Xiao Lei said.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Sword Demon was silent. He would rather not have a sequel to such a quest. Thinking this, he went to the secret base of their assassin alliance and communicated with the NPCs everywhere to see if there were any quests he could accept. While he was busy, Gu Fei quickly arrived at the City Hall, and after handing back the letter, he was greatly praised by the guard captain. NPCs, whether angry or happy, players wouldn't take it seriously. Gu Fei patiently waited for him to complete the plot, and then the captain looked serious again and began to explain the next task.

"You go now and investigate the clues provided by Master Ji'er Jinuo," the captain said.

"What clues?" Gu Fei asked.

"There seems to be something at Lake Yun Jiao that is the key to determining the victory or defeat. I'm entrusting it to you," the captain even came over and patted Gu Fei on the shoulder.

"Lake Yun Jiao, that's far away! Is that still considered a battlefield?" Gu Fei was puzzled. He knew this place, it was some distance from the main city.

So the captain said something quite imposing: "The whole world is at war..."

"Okay, I'll go," Gu Fei replied, looking at the pile of miscellaneous soldiers. The previous three had returned and mingled with this group. How many would be sent this time?

"Alright, go!" The captain issued an eviction order.

Unfortunately, there were no more minions to play with this time. Gu Fei was just starting to enjoy himself! He hadn't used the minions much in the previous battle, but unfortunately the system was no longer giving him the chance. Gu Fei left the guard room dejectedly, but when he went downstairs and turned the corner, he ran into Xiao Lei.

"Hey, you're here too," Gu Fei greeted.

"Yeah, I got another batch of orders and I'm going to the warehouse to pick up the goods," Xiao Lei sighed.

"Your faction's quest is very stylish..." Gu Fei said.

"It's alright!"

As he said this, the two left the City Hall. Xiao Lei shook his arms, pushed his flatbed cart, and waved to Gu Fei: "I'm leaving, see you later."

"See you, see you."

Gu Fei said goodbye to Xiao Lei and contacted Sword Demon: "My new quest is out, how about you?"

"It's another assassination," Sword Demon said, "Xiao Ping Gai, I don't know which guild leader this is, I've never even heard of him..."

"Well, no one's going to find out now, what are you going to do?" Gu Fei asked.

"Of course, I'm going to the guild hall now to find out which guild it is first," Sword Demon said.

"I'm going to Lake Yun Jiao," Gu Fei said.

"Oh? What's the quest this time?" Sword Demon asked.

"It's not clear, they said there might be something there that is the key to determining the victory or defeat, I'll go take a look," Gu Fei said.

"Is that the system's original words?" Sword Demon asked.

"Almost."

"The word 'might' is too subtle." Sword Demon, as an old player, knew that all systems are shameless.

Gu Fei saw that Sword Demon was actually arguing about words, so he recalled it carefully: "Now that you mention it, did they actually not say 'might'?"

"Oh?"

"They said 'seems'," Gu Fei said.

"..."

The two then went their separate ways. Sword Demon was after all active in the city, and once again arrived at his destination first. As a result, the clerk in the guild hall indignantly condemned the guild. Sword Demon wiped his sweat. This was too much of an act. Wasn't it true? Now, for the main city, the guilds had become rebels, all fighting outside! Coming here to apply for membership at this time was tantamount to becoming a bandit in front of the officials. It was a loophole that he hadn't been killed on the spot.

The operation to apply for membership allowed him to see the list of guilds in the city. Sword Demon saw that this wouldn't work, so he had to check the guild rankings. He didn't know if this function had been turned off. But even if it hadn't, Sword Demon didn't have much hope for it. The list only ranked the top one hundred, but there were more than a thousand guilds in the main city. It was really suspenseful whether Xiao Ping Gai's guild was in the top one hundred.

The result was disappointing for Sword Demon. The ranking function was still there, but there was no ID for Xiao Ping Gai in the list of one hundred guild leaders. But just as Sword Demon was looking at the rankings, an NPC suddenly approached Sword Demon: "I know your origins, these heinous people need to be punished."

Sword Demon was confused and looked at the NPC: "How to punish them?"

"One hundred of the most vicious leaders, which one are you going to punish?" the NPC asked.

Sword Demon was stunned, and his gaze returned to the ranking list. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't noticed before, but the ranking of the top 100 guilds, which was originally listed here as an honor, had now become the ranking of the top 100 bandits. Oathless Sword, Going Against the Current, Cloud Herder, and other famous guild leaders were now judged by the system as the chief of evil, and they were hanging here waiting for people to punish them!

The NPC asked him which one he wanted to punish, and this was also issuing a quest!

But this kind of quest format made it difficult for Sword Demon. He was a loyal friend and always couldn't refuse requests. This time, it wasn't the system forcibly assigning him, but rather he was actively choosing. Some of the people on this list that he knew were automatically filtered out by him. At the same time, he didn't forget to send this message to Gu Fei: "Major discovery!! The guild ranking list in the guild hall has become a wanted list."

"Wanted list? This is my forte!!" Gu Fei was about to go out, but when he heard this news, he quickly ran back. Investigate? Investigate what! Killing people is so much more fun.

When Gu Fei rushed to the guild hall, Sword Demon was still searching through the hundred names! It was really troublesome for him. These guild leaders who could develop their guilds to the top 100 were all very determined to grow bigger. How could they not pay attention to recruiting talent? Who would ignore Sword Demon, a famous and influential expert? Sword Demon had actually interacted with these hundred people to varying degrees. A few had even argued with him a few days ago, wanting to make a final effort to pull him in before the city war.

Gu Fei came in and heard Sword Demon sighing. He asked, "Have you chosen yet?" Then he looked around himself.

The NPC came over again, but the words he said to Gu Fei were actually different from those he said to Sword Demon: "It is very dangerous to capture these heinous people. Warrior, good luck!!"

It seemed that it was still based on the faction. Sword Demon thought about sending a message to Xiao Lei: "Xiao Lei, there's a big wanted list here at the guild hall. It seems like you can accept quests at will. Are you interested?"

"Oh? What are they wanted for?"

"They're the original leaders of the top 100 guilds in our Cloudend City."

"Sword Demon, do you know what my class is and what level I am?" Xiao Lei asked.

"Uh?"

"I'm only level 30, you want me to fight with the big guild leaders?" Xiao Lei said.

"You're only level 30, that's not right, you can only join the faction after level 40, right?" Sword Demon was puzzled.

"Is there such a rule, I don't know!" Xiao Lei said.

Sword Demon was at a loss. He hadn't completely confirmed this rule either.

"Then you go ahead and do your thing!" Sword Demon replied to Xiao Lei, then turned back and found Gu Fei looking at him: "Have you chosen yet?"

"No, have you finished choosing?"

"Of course," Gu Fei said.

"Who did you choose?"

"Same as always, from top to bottom!"

"Oathless Sword!" Sword Demon was collapsing. Among these guild leaders, Oathless Sword was the one who had the most contact with their mercenary group. After the mission ended, they hadn't returned to Cloudend City, and Oathless Sword often asked about them. This Qian Li didn't care about friendship at all!

"I don't know if two people can choose the same one, try it," Gu Fei said.

"I..." Sword Demon was embarrassed.

"It's just a quest, what's there to be afraid of," Gu Fei said.

Sword Demon was an experienced player and knew that although that was the principle, how many people could really see it that way? In guild wars and the like, which one wasn't a conflict created by the system rules for the players, but how many people didn't become enemies because of it? And now the guild leaders in the city war must be very important. Sword Demon estimated that if such a conflicting mission was completed, the other party's guild would definitely have some punishment, otherwise it would just be dying and resurrecting. What difference would that be from being killed by an NPC guard on the battlefield? The things that the system would send out for players to do had to be more valuable.

Sword Demon could accept the mission that the system forced him to do, but he felt awkward when he had to choose a target himself to cause trouble.

"I know them all, I'm really embarrassed to do it," Sword Demon said.

"You know Bai Jia Hei too, but you still did it," Gu Fei said.

"That's different..." Sword Demon didn't know how to describe the feeling.

"You know Gongzi even better, I saw you stabbing him quite happily," Gu Fei said.

"That's also different."

"Actually, it's all the same. Just take one casually, cover your face when the time comes, stab them, and then we leave and they resurrect. What big deal could it be?" What Gu Fei said would infuriate Going Against the Current, Bai Jia Hei, Oathless Sword, and others. He just casually killed people and left, but they were driven crazy over there.

"Alright, that's it, I'll accept it!" Sword Demon also felt that he was being too unmanly. He gritted his teeth, and just killed!

"Can two people accept one, will it become stealing monsters?" Sword Demon muttered, then turned back and consulted the NPC.

The NPC seemed to flash a look of contempt in his eyes, and told Sword Demon: "You can team up..."

Sword Demon was ashamed and wanted to disappear. New things always made people feel awkward!

The two formed a team. Sword Demon saw that Gu Fei's quest for Oathless Sword was indeed merged into his quest. Looking at this familiar name, he couldn't help but feel another wave of apology in his heart. Gu Fei was already carrying his sword out the door.

"I wonder if Yearning could appear again to take us to find the target, hahaha!" Gu Fei was happy!

The two went out of the north gate and were overjoyed when they saw the scene in front of them.

"It's a godsend!!" Gu Fei was excited.

The long-dormant smoke of gunpowder outside the north gate of the city rose again. Going Against the Current, without that key mission, had to continue fighting to the death like this. Oathless Sword didn't know that his mission had been inadvertently destroyed. Seeing that Going Against the Current had made such a big detour, he really wanted to organize the guilds to resist the system to the death, which he didn't understand. According to the information, Against the Flowing Wine must have made some major discovery in that pit! Could it be that this discovery was a weapon that could be used in the melee?

Oathless Sword's mind was full of doubts. At this time, the personnel screening work of Black Finger was also completed, and some weak and idling players were powerfully eliminated. Of course, it was not good to say on the surface that they couldn't help and should just stay aside, but these people were also organized and focused on harassing one area. The meaning of the guild leaders was that although these people were weak, there were also a lot of them. Even if a wheel battle couldn't consume the system, dying could at least attract some troops, so that the main force could face fewer enemies.

"Brothers! In one breath, take Cloudend City!!!" Going Against the Current shouted loudly and shot a chain of fireballs into the sky. Everyone saw this agreed signal and bravely began a new round of assault on Cloudend City!
