Chapter 28 How Many is Many?

"How many are there?" Jian Gui and the others knew about Mang Mang's telescope, a powerful tool for reconnaissance, and had already proactively sought her out to confirm the situation.

"It's all people. We seem to be surrounded. This number of people is definitely not from just one or two guilds. I estimate it's guilds that lost in the city war, and now they've gathered to get revenge on you." Mang Mang certainly had plenty of experience in fighting.

"Damn, no class!" Zhan Wushang expressed indignation. This kind of thing was like wanting to bet but refusing to lose, very low class.

"This is a challenge." Jian Gui's expression was solemn. "A target of public criticism. That's the situation our guild is in right now. We absolutely cannot back down from this battle. Once we show weakness, then the players of Cloudrise City will know that although Exceptionally Heaven controls six districts, joining them is not a good thing. In this battle, we might be wiped out, but we must make these guys pay an even more painful price. We need to let the players of Cloudrise City know that messing with Exceptionally Heaven is definitely not a happy thing."

At this critical moment, Jian Gui's speech was not as superficial as his address at the bonfire party. Every word he said was clear and went straight to the heart. The players present heard it, and a thought arose in their hearts: That's right, we absolutely cannot let anyone think we're easy to bully. Even if we die, we have to make the opponents afraid because we will never die in vain!

"Guild Leader Jian Gui is right!!" Someone shouted, followed by a burst of applause and roars piercing the night sky. This evening's gathering reached its climax at this moment, and the one who brought up this atmosphere was Jian Gui, who always seemed a bit dull in other situations.

"Arrange the battle formations according to the deployment during the city war!!" Jian Gui ordered.

The teams were quickly formed; the players still remembered the team formations from the city war just a day ago.

"Try to break through, seize the initiative, and then turn around and give them a painful blow!!" Jian Gui said.

The players responded with a chorus of voices. At this moment, the players who were surrounding them finally appeared in everyone's field of vision. Han Jia Gongzi had also walked to Mang Mang's side and reached out to her.

Mang Mang was really helpless. Although Han Jia Gongzi would return it quickly every time he used it, the frequency of lending it out was really high. Frankly speaking, she felt like she was the one who had borrowed it.

Even so, Mang Mang still handed the telescope to Han Jia Gongzi.

Han Jia Gongzi raised the telescope and looked around, immediately sending a message in the channel: "The distance is about two hundred meters, the opponents are standing one meter apart, the formation is about ten people deep, and the estimated number of people is between twelve thousand and fifteen thousand."

"The closer the distance, the thicker the formation, the sooner we break through, the better. Everyone, hurry." Jian Gui shouted.

"Warriors in front, mages in the back." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Priests in the center, knights at the rear." Jian Gui.

"Archers on both flanks."

"Thieves stealth and disperse."

"Why are there two people commanding..." The players of Exceptionally Heaven were very confused, whispering to each other.

"But the orders are coherent..."

"Or are they complementary?" Everyone wondered, but still did as they were told.

"Dual command..." Shui Shen and Lu Ke heard the discussions of the Exceptionally Heaven players around them and smiled at each other.

"What familiar memories, but we can't hear them." Lu Ke expressed regret.

"But we can still contribute." Shui Shen had already taken out his bow and arrow and was sending a message to Jian Gui: "There should be a few teams feigning attacks, right? To make it harder for the other side to shrink their formation, it would be best if they could be disrupted."

"We're already doing that. You and Ke Ke want to lead a team too?" Jian Gui asked.

"Sure! But will they listen to orders?" Shui Shen asked.

"Of course, it's a new guild!" Jian Gui said.

Shui Shen understood what he meant. It was a new guild, and the members were not familiar with each other, so the guild leader could only directly appoint the captain. Everyone was not clear about the captain's capabilities for the time being, so there was nothing to agree with or disagree with.

Shui Shen quickly received a team invitation. The other party had already handed over the captaincy to him, and then he heard a burst of exclamation in the channel: "Ah? Shui Shen? Is that the Shui Shen? The one from the former Little Five Tyrants???"

Shui Shen said faintly: "It's me."

"Ah!" A chorus of screams.

"Just pretend!" There were still discordant voices.

"Who is this?" A bunch of question marks.

"My wife." Shui Shen said with a bitter face.

"Hello, sister-in-law!!" This time it was a greeting. In online games, experts are brothers, and experts' wives are of course sisters-in-law.

"Our target is due east, to provide a diversion. Everyone, listen carefully to the orders. We will transfer to the breakthrough direction at any time." Shui Shen said.

"Understood." The players in the team saw that the captain was a master, so they were naturally more convinced.

"Prepare traps, due west. Mang Mang, you go to the main breakthrough team. You can't keep up with the speed here." Yingzhong Yuezi said to Mang Mang while leading the team out.

Mang Mang nodded and went to the main team, which had warriors, mages, and other short-legged classes. Although the main team had less mobility, it had the most ferocious firepower.

"Our target is due south. Is everyone's ammunition ready?" Yu Tian Shen Ming, as the captain, was also giving directions and speaking.

"Report to the captain, the direction you are facing is due north."

"I know, I'm just talking now. Do I have to face south when speaking?" Yu Tian Shen Ming turned 180 degrees while remaining calm.

"The teams are assembled. The enemy is one hundred and fifty meters away. Prepare to set off and engage in close combat before one hundred meters!!" Jian Gui gave an order. The words sounded a little strange, but everyone understood what he meant. One hundred meters referred to one hundred meters from the center of the encirclement.

The four teams set off at the same time. Shui Shen, Yingzhong Yuezi, and Yu Tian Shen Ming's teams were all agile teams of about twenty people, with strong mobility. Their goal was not to kill the opponent, but to let the opponent know of their existence, preventing those directions from launching strong attacks on the main team, thereby achieving the purpose of dividing the opponent's strength.

But at this time, after the four teams set off, the other side quickly made adjustments. The purpose of these three feint teams was seen through by the other side. While continuing to shrink the encirclement, the other side began to move. The defenses in the southeast and west directions gradually became thin, and the center of gravity was clearly converging towards the north, towards Jian Gui's main team.

"The plan has been seen through." Shui Shen hurriedly sent a message to Jian Gui, saying that the feint teams could only manage to feint. With their simple classes, even though they faced the opponent's weak defense, they had no way to break through.

"Hehe, it's not surprising that such a simple plan was seen through." Jian Gui said.

"What's your backup plan?" Shui Shen asked.

"Actually, our team is also a feint team." Jian Gui said.

"What?"

"If the other side sees through our plan, they will naturally shrink their forces towards us, so the defense on your side will be weak." Jian Gui said.

"Weak is weak, but we..." Shui Shen suddenly paused at this point. The three feint teams had few people and simple classes. It seemed that they did not have the strength to turn into the main battle team, but if it was a certain person...

"Yu Tian, break through!" Jian Gui said in the channel.

"Understood." Yu Tian Shen Ming responded, and the whole team began to advance, archers firing arrows, which drew laughter from the surrounding opponents. These twenty or so archers, what tricks could they play? The leading player in charge of the team waved his hand lazily, and the heavy-armored warriors immediately stepped forward to cover. They were all archers; there was no need to play long-range with them. Since they wanted to break through, they would have to rush to the front. What was an archer who rushed to the front? At that time, wouldn't they be slaughtered by them? The leading player calculated triumphantly, and the nearby warriors and thieves were happily preparing to come over and do the work.

A figure. Without any warning, the six-meter distance seemed to not exist. This person suddenly appeared in the midst of the surrounding players. A flash of fire rose around him, seeming to turn twice, and after two turns, what rose with it was a circle of white light.

"It's him..." In the instant before being killed, the leading player knew who this person was. He was very depressed. The encirclement was so big, why did he have to run into him? At the same time, he was also very clear that with this person, this thin defense would probably not be able to stop them.

"Qian Li Yizui is breaking through in the due south direction!!!" This message quickly spread among the surrounding players.

"It doesn't matter, let him break through. Qian Li Yizui is not their whole team. There are more guys who have been surrounded by us." The leaders commanding the surrounding players seemed to have predicted this situation long ago, so they did not seem too flustered. Clean up Qian Li Yizui? Even a thousand people from Ren Dui Jiu Dang Ge couldn't do it. Although they had more people at this time, they really didn't dare to compare their quality with Ren Dui Jiu Dang Ge. Therefore, killing Qian Li Yizui was not on their agenda from the beginning. Moreover, their goal was not Qian Li Yizui. Although Qian Li Yizui was the main culprit in destroying the siege players' victory, at this moment, all the players were more jealous of the rewards, the rewards of the city war!

Qian Li Yizui's rewards, such as searching for the names of wanted players, although made players feel terrified, were particularly balanced from the perspective of rewards. They all felt that this was a trash reward, and giving it to Qian Li Yizui was God's blessing.

But Exceptionally Heaven, after merging, actually monopolized the rewards of six districts, which was really intolerable.

Perhaps everyone had this kind of mentality. But the group of players in front of them was motivated by this to commit acts of anger. They needed an outlet, otherwise they would really not be able to sleep at night. Online games, as a medium, allowed their catharsis to be easily realized. In addition to suffering some verbal abuse, there seemed to be no consequences. What's more, if they destroyed Exceptionally Heaven, most of the players in Cloudrise City would probably applaud, right?

"Don't worry about Qian Li Yizui! Hurry up and kill all the people from Exceptionally Heaven, kill them all!!!" The guild leaders who came to surround Exceptionally Heaven were all roaring madly in their guild channels.
