Chapter 165 Ambush

Eight guilds had gathered around the outer perimeter of the Poison Fang Swamp to serve as reinforcements, the same eight that had made a blood oath last time.

Although the initial ambush had only been set up by five guilds, they had invited three more to continue waiting for their prey. Blue Brook Guild and Samsara were the ones Ye Xiu had just swindled, so they had readily agreed. As for Excellent Dynasty, the reasons were obvious.

The eight guilds arranged shifts to guard this area. Although the method was a bit stupid, it was better than nothing. Against such a cunning God-level opponent, it would be good to seize an opportunity to kill him once.

Yes, the eight guilds had originally only wanted to kill him once to vent their anger, but who would have thought that this guy would be online for two days in a row, leaving them hanging here.

Is Lord Grim not online?

If this was permanent, it would be great news. But was that even possible? Of course not. If this guy wasn't online, was he plotting something terrible? Thinking of that guy on the forums who had seized on their post's weakness, the major guilds were furious and strongly suspected that Lord Grim not being online was exactly what he was doing.

For a time, they couldn't figure out whether it was better for Lord Grim to be online or not. In any case, the forums hurriedly explained, and the arrangements in the Poison Fang Swamp were not withdrawn. As for the reward for killing Lord Grim… these major guilds had long posted it internally and never taken it down. Not long ago, Wei Chen had even used Blue Brook Guild's name to hold a fun activity with it, hadn't he?

In short, the various guilds' deployment this time was a bit unserious, not a careful deployment, but more like a desperate measure. But in any case, the higher-ups had not yet calmly changed their instructions, so the people in the guilds followed the routine and came to take turns every day.

The eight major guilds each sent a team every time, for a total of 80 people, which conveniently formed a party. So every day, the new team that came to take over would first join the party, and then just stand there in a daze. This theme had not changed to this day. It was just that the manpower still felt fresh. Several guilds had enough people to rotate them for many days without repeating anyone.

And the one who was repeating, was that Lord Grim still hadn't logged on.

At this time, a team of players from Misty Rain Tower came over to hand over to the previous group from their guild. The eight major guilds had also arranged a time difference for the rotations to avoid everything changing at once, which would be too chaotic.

"Coming?"

"Yeah, coming."

"Is Lord Grim here?"

"Not here..."

This was the most common conversation between players handing over shifts every day.

After the conversation, the newcomers joined the party, and the old ones left. At this time, twenty people had already been lurking on the side, secretly watching the situation here.

Wei Chen had scouted out the other side's position long ago. Looking at it now, it was no different than before.

"Their method is a bit ruthless. With this alternating shift system, we might have to face more than just these eighty people. It's like there are always reinforcements coming," Wei Chen discussed the situation with Ye Xiu.

"Each time, it's just one team of people coming to change shifts?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yeah, that's how it was the last time I looked, and it's still the same now," Wei Chen said.

"Then why don't we ambush this team of people?" Ye Xiu asked.

"We've had that plan before, but the main roads from the city to here are all wide open, so there's no way to set up an ambush. They can see each other from far away," Wei Chen said.

Ye Xiu thought about the terrain and realized that it was true.

Then he added, "What about in the main city?"

"This is a level 65 main city. There are quite a few people. We haven't dared to go to places with too many eyes and ears recently," Wei Chen said with a lot of emotion. Last time, a team of them went to a certain city to repair their equipment and prepare, but they were surrounded by the major guilds without them even realizing it, resulting in a team wipe. The misery was still fresh in his mind!

"So we can only force our way through these eighty people?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Looks like it."

"Then let's do it!" Ye Xiu said.

"I was going to break through anyway. You're the one who's been talking so much nonsense," Wei Chen cursed.

"Let's break through from the six o'clock direction!" Ye Xiu suggested.

"Why from the six o'clock direction? Break through from the twelve o'clock direction, create a gap, and you quickly log on and run deep into the map. As long as you pull out some distance, can't you shake off these people with your abilities?" Wei Chen said.

"Old bro, my account is only level 54. I can't even use insect repellent smoke. Running deep into the map isn't very convenient. It's better to run wildly on the main road," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, forgot about that," Wei Chen realized. It wasn't that he lacked experience, it was just that there hadn't been any level 54 characters in the Heavenly Domain for three years. Players here wouldn't even think about the problem from this angle.

"Then let's charge!" Wei Chen led his people, adjusted their position, and prepared to begin.

"Don't rush. I'll go harass them a little first." Ye Xiu was using the Launcher Su Mucheng, who did indeed have the most magnificent attack range in Glory. He even dared to provoke eighty people.

"Hurry up," Wei Chen said impatiently.

As soon as he said that, Ye Xiu's Su Mucheng threw a fire starter. The fire starter was thrown low and flat, but in the dark map of the Poison Fang Swamp, the ball of fire was enough to attract attention and was impossible to hide.

"What's that?" A guard player was attracted by the fire and quickly paid attention. But Ye Xiu threw it so low and flat that the fire starter didn't fly very far. By the time someone noticed it, it had already landed and gone out. This person only saw the light and didn't have time to tell what it was.

"What's going on?" Other unaware players were still asking questions when they heard a roar in the air. A heat-seeking missile had already howled down.

"Crap, air raid, air raid!" Someone shouted, and the crowd was a little flustered. They needed to know where the fire starter had been thrown to know where the heat-seeking missile would hit. But since they hadn't seen the fire starter, they had no idea where the missile would land, so they didn't know where to hide.

"Everyone, don't move!" The person who had discovered the light earlier realized that it was the guiding fire starter for the heat-seeking missile, but he didn't have time to think about why it had been thrown so far off course. He only knew that as long as everyone didn't move, the missile was guaranteed to be fine.

However, in this kind of situation, you should never tell people not to move. Even if you told them to move in a direction that was just a waste of time, it would be easier to convince them.

Saying "Don't move" at this time was really suspicious, especially since this wasn't one guild, and there was no trust between them. So it would have been better not to say anything. As soon as he shouted, the other guilds moved even more frantically. Three people were seen rushing towards where the missile was about to land.

"Serves them right!" This player saw that these people didn't listen to him and felt more schadenfreude than anything else towards the three who were rushing towards the missile.

"Boom!!"

By the time the three realized that they really shouldn't have moved, the missile had already flown over their heads. The three tried to dodge, but the missile had already created a mushroom cloud when it hit the ground. The three were blown away by the blast wave. One of them was hung on a dead tree branch, unable to go up or down, and was extremely embarrassed.

"Teams 1 and 2, go take a look over there." Someone spoke up. This time, because they had formed a party together, there was a unified command. By default, whoever was the party leader spoke. Because of the rotation, it meant that everyone had a chance to command each year, so no one was at a disadvantage, and they didn't argue too much about this issue.

The leader of Team 1 was the party leader by default. The party leader gave the order and took the lead himself, along with Team 2.

The two teams of twenty people rushed towards that side, weapons ready. They rushed through the mushroom cloud of the explosion, ready to find the culprit, when a beam of light descended from the sky. Because of the cover of the mushroom cloud, no one noticed it.

This ultimate skill was unleashed so boldly. It was calculated that people would rush over to check, so it was thrown in advance and hidden behind the mushroom cloud. If no one came to look, then an ultimate skill would have been wasted.

But what about now?

Satellite Beam directly bombarded down. The person who was hit head-on couldn't avoid it at all and was hit from head to toe.

The other players were shocked and moved aside. As a result, the small beams that branched out from the Satellite Beam were now being manually controlled. They didn't follow the regular path, and although they seemed chaotic, they were chasing after them as they scattered, trying to shoot them down.

"Team 3, flank on both sides! Other teams, check the outer perimeter!!" The party leader quickly gave another order.

The eight major guilds scattered like a tide. Wei Chen, who had been lurking on the side, didn't need Ye Xiu to remind him and saw that this was a golden opportunity. They were probing the situation, so let's just make sure they don't come back.

"Everyone, get ready!" Wei Chen gave instructions in the team channel, staring at the few people who were rushing towards them.

"As soon as they show their faces, give them the works!" Wei Chen said.

"One, two, three!"

"There's someone!!"

Almost at the same time as Wei Chen shouted "three," the other side discovered his Windward Formation's half-head poking out from behind a tree. Obviously, they were close enough that there was no way to hide. Wei Chen had also calculated the limit of this opportunity and shouted the last word, "Attack," after one, two, three.

Twenty people suddenly jumped out of their hiding places, unleashing their strongest attacks. Their mouths also spewed out their most comfortable curses, such as "F*** you for ten thousand years," which echoed through the dim forest.

An easy wave of AoE.

Wei Chen's twenty-odd people were no longer at level 70, but their combined attack was enough to take down the few who were surrounded. After a wave of attacks, it quickly attracted the attention of many on the other side. When they looked over, they saw several familiar names. Weren't these the IDs that had recently been placed on the reward list within their guild, rumored to be guerilla-fighting and bullying their guild's lone players? How did they become blind and attack their group?

"Attention, they're here to save Lord Grim. Everyone, hold your positions and don't panic!!" Fortunately, the party leader on duty at this time was clear-headed and instantly judged the other side's intentions.

But just as he finished speaking, the radiance of the Satellite Beam faded away. Everyone was shocked to find that Lord Grim had actually appeared in this flamboyant light and had already escaped a few positions!
