Second World
chapter-1445

In the following days, Jeanny and the others continued to perform guerilla warfare on the Liguritudum army to halt their advance. The number of obstacles prepared along the Liguritudum army's route toward Balgadur was substantial. The three guilds who supplied the war tools had gone all out and the other guilds chipped in on the required materials.

Sadly, these war tools didn't put enough dent in the Liguritudum troops. They simply served to slow the march.

Jeanny and the others no longer waited until the Liguritudum army was stopped by the war tools before they sprang their ambush. They did it at different times as long as an opportunity arose. This was so the timing of their ambush was not too predictable.

The Liguritudum army didn't stop or divide their forces to deal with these players. Linda knew that doing so would just serve the enemy's purpose. These guild players could easily split up and run away in different directions. Maybe some would be killed, but a majority could easily escape using the Town Return Scroll once they were out of combat.

Doing this would just slow down their march, which was what the enemy wanted.

However, after using the same tactic a few times, the opponent naturally figured out a solution. Not to mention, Linda was not an average tactician.

On the fourth ambush, several regiments rushed back. The native army completely ignored Jeanny's ambush and continued onward without slowing their march. They only use defensive skills to reduce the damage they receive.

"That's all right. If they want to sacrifice a few regiments to keep up their marching speed, we will gladly take out these regiments," Jeanny said to the others. "Be ready for combat!"

When these regiments came over, Jeanny noticed that none of them were natives. They were all players. They were players from many different guilds.

Megan, who was beside Jeanny, recognized one of those players.

"Morius! So, now the Sand Family has switched sides to aid the invaders?" Megan called.

"Hah! Smart men know where the winds blow," Morius replied. "I don't care who Hydrurond's sovereign is. As long as they give me benefits, I don't mind working for them. I'm just confused why Brother Herald refuses to join."

"That means he is a better man than you," Megan said.

"I've had enough of your mouth, stupid wench. You act all high and mighty. I can't wait to see your face when I put you in your place."

On a different side, others were also conversing when they noticed familiar faces.

"Traitor!" One of the enemy players shouted. That person was Killingred. Next to her were Yellow Death, Green Death, Violent Death, Grimclaw, Queen Magenta, and Princess Purple.

"I should be the one who says that to you!" Blue Death shouted back. "How dare you betray our true leader!"

Red Death and Scarface were next to him. True Death Associates were among the guilds who joined Jeanny's ambushing team.

"I agree that the fake Death Associates is a nest for traitors," Silverwing uttered. His eyes were staring sharply at Grimclaw. He still hadn't paid that turncoat back for hitting him in the back and almost killing him the last time. Maybe today was his chance for payback.

"I agree," Jennifer said. Her eyes were on Queen Magenta.

"How dare you call us fake?" Yellow Death replied. "We formed the guild first. The first has the right to the name. Your guild naming yourself True Death Associates just shows that you are all a bunch of sore losers!"

"Who are the losers are not yet decided," Scarface returned.

"What are we talking for? Attack!!!" Red Death yelled and rushed forward.

These took the others aback. Jeanny who was the leader of these guild players hadn't yet issued the order to attack, but they couldn't just let Red Death fight alone. The other members of True Death Associates also charged forward.

Silverwing and Jennifer were slightly conflicted but they soon issued the order to attack.

Jeanny saw the other side start clashing. She was still wondering if it was the best move to engage these guild players. She decided she was just thinking too much.

"Forward…!!!" She gave the command.

Everyone charged.

Jeanny's player army was composed of the ten guilds that met inside Thereath palace, added by a few guilds from Palgrost. As for the enemy's side, they were composed of Death Associates, Liguritudum's six slave guilds, several guilds from Hydrurond's like the Sand Family, and a few Palgrost's guilds who had decided to take Boron's side.

Their number was almost even. Against an equal number of opponents, expertise became the deciding factor. In this case, the Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members stood out.

Other guilds at this stage had their members largely differed in level range. Only a small portion had levels around 70. Most others had died and some even had to start over. So, a majority were level 50 to 65. However, almost all of Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members were above level 65. Their core members were all level 70 or above.

This was possible thanks to the Resurrection Chapel.

Such a disparity of levels took the others aback. To add to their shock, almost all of Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members fought like expert martial artists. Especially the core members. One core member could easily take on several same-level opponents.

Additionally, Everlasting Heavenly Legends' core members' equipment were top-notch. Jack had occasionally fused equipment and then put them in the guild warehouse. Core members who had sufficient guild contribution points used those points to exchange for the equipment.

In just a short time, Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members bulldozed right through the enemy's ranks.

None of them could summon their guild armies, even the guilds from Palgrost and Liguritudum. Aside from during a guild war where a guild headquarters was invaded, the other time a guild army could be summoned was as reinforcements to the kingdom army of the country where their headquarters resided.

If the Liguritudum army had stayed, the Liguritudum guilds who had formally joined the war summon quest would be able to summon their guild armies. However, at this moment, the Liguritudum army was far away already.

Hence, this was purely the guild players' battle.

Jeanny was fighting with her companion. Garuda took to the sky with his trusty falcon. He swooped down on unsuspecting players every chance he got. Since the players had fewer HP than natives, he reaped more kills with each swoop compared to the previous ambushes against the native army.

Jeanny was still wondering if this was the enemy's tactic. Were they sacrificing these guild players just so that the Liguritudum army could march unhindered?

She then heard the sounds of marching from behind. She turned back and saw a new group of guild players charging at them. They were the World Maker and World Ruler players.
