Virtual World: Close Combat Mage
chapter-828

The players from the Ten Guild Alliance who had rushed over were no match for them. They did not have any positioning, nor did they cooperate with their attacks. All they could do was rush over as fast as they could, and once they were within attack range, they immediately threw a skill, then, they saw the group of eagles forcefully resist his skill and pounce on him, knocking him to the ground. Under the Chaos Army, they did not know who they contributed their PK points to.

A warrior tried to use charge and whirlwind slash to disrupt the opponent’s formation. In the end, he activated charge. Some warriors in the opponent’s formation also used charge to resist. After the system determined.., the pitiful warriors of the Ten Guild Alliance were forced into a kite. Everyone was naturally shocked. After the skill was determined, the stronger side had the advantage, but the weaker side’s damage was not ignored. However, after the collision, the other side was actually sent flying by charge. It was as if they did not attack, it could only be said that the difference in the damage of charge between the two of them was simply too great.

However, after the eagle group’s warriors charged, they suddenly flew into the air with their swords in their hands. They paused in the air for a moment before quickly falling into the Ten Guild Alliance’s formation. Two sword lights sliced through like a waterfall, causing the ground to tremble. Players with enough PK points could admire this skill from the system guards that were chasing them: Earth splitter.

This skill not only dealt aoe damage, but it also had a chance to cause dizziness. However, the chance was obviously not very high. The players around the warrior were clearly still controlling themselves. However, before they could react, the warrior had already raised his two swords and created a large whirlwind slash in their formation.

Under the sword light, white light danced. The players from the eagle group tacitly split into two, bypassing the range of the warrior’s whirlwind slash from the left and right sides. The Ten Guild Alliance that did not die under the whirlwind slash was conveniently killed by them, the Eagle team regrouped at the other end and continued to clear out the Ten Guild Alliance’s players.

The Ten Guild Alliance’s players had finally gathered, but they could no longer hold their ground. The Eagle team’s surprise attack had already taken away 37 of their members, including their team leader. At this moment, the remaining 63 players were like headless flies. They were no different from npcs and monsters. The only smart thing was that when they realized that the situation was not optimistic, some of them thought of running without hesitation.

Of course, when they thought of running, they were either bandits or archers. Warriors and priests were very aware of this and expressed their heroic spirit of not retreating even if they died.

“Brother, you guys hang in there, I’m going to call for reinforcements!”

“Good brother, just send a message about calling for reinforcements. We’ll advance and retreat together here!”

Such touching conversations were common. It was clear that even the hot-blooded and heroic yueye city did not hinder some wretched existences..

The message to call for help had long been sent out, and Dusky Cloud had already personally led his team back. But by the time he reached Yueye Street, everything was already over.

This was only an online game, so there was naturally no blood on the ground, much less corpses. All that was left was tranquility. But for the largest market street in Yueye City, tranquility was the scariest atmosphere.

In everyone’s eyes, none of the Ten Guild Alliance’s shopping groups had survived. They had all been wiped out by the sudden arrival of the thirty-man team. The players from Yueye City were quite experienced in pvp. They could tell that the 30-man team was top-notch in terms of skills, equipment, coordination, and awareness. It was not uncommon to see one or two such players. However, now that 30 of them had appeared before their eyes, everyone was guessing where they had come from. At this moment, all the players were still standing on both sides of the street and discussing like they did during the war. They had actually forgotten what they were doing on this street.

Dusky Cloud’s expression was ashen. He had just said in the guild that this was only a thirty-man mercenary group and that they were nothing. They did not dare to fight against their hundred-man mercenary group, but then.., the eagle group gathered together and annihilated his ten Guild Alliance’s hundred-man mercenary group in a single battle. Objective reasons such as the quality of the members, the tactical coordination, and the fact that they did not care about the things they bought were all quite lacking. This was a heavy slap in the face, and it was a speech that dusky cloud had just given to boost the morale of the entire guild..

“Forever...”dusky cloud muttered this name. Since this person was the leader, then the Eagle Group’s strategy and tactics should have been arranged by this person. This person was obviously very strategic. The attacks he made were not as simple as just killing a hundred people. The pressure created by these attacks was even more difficult to deal with.

“The Bastards of the Eagle Team... When I arrive, all of them will run away,”dusky cloud said in the guild chat.

“How many people can recognize these bastards now?”Dusky cloud shouted. He decided to take the initiative. If he continued to defend passively, he would really die from passivity.

The Eagle Group did not cover their faces. After so many attacks, many people had already memorized some of their faces. At this moment, they were all speaking out in the guild.

“Alright, you guys listen up. First, Take Off Your Guild badges. Then, go and wander around the city. Pay special attention to the streets near the Resurrection Point. If you discover these guys, you can directly privatize the guild leader,”dusky cloud instructed.

Keeping the Guild leader private was one of Dusky Cloud’s counter-espionage methods. He wasn’t afraid that his opponent would know that he was looking for his opponent. However, if he didn’t find his opponent, this result couldn’t be leaked. The guild leaders of the ten guilds were all trustworthy characters. Thus, dusky cloud told them to inform their guild leaders when they discovered his identity. At that time, they could find reliable people to organize an attack. Even if they had to kill one or two of his opponents, it would be fine, that way, their side would not be so passive, and they would not be so nervous.

The spies began to spread out to search for the whereabouts of the eagle group’s players, while dusky cloud began to pick the trustworthy people who would fight for a while. The brothers who had followed him in the past were naturally worthy of praise. Dusky cloud even had a blind trust in these brothers. Even though people like the pig fairy and the military advisor of a generation were often scolded and despised by dusky cloud, if these people really became his opponents’spies.., dusky cloud would not be able to say a single word.

These people were naturally the first to join Dusky Cloud’s team. They then thought of some reliable combat strength and even sent people offline to call for people. Although dusky cloud felt that there were quite a number of reliable people, the hearts of the people were hard to predict. Naturally, the more people there were, the greater the risk. After gathering about 150 people, dusky cloud felt that it was about time. Although the 100-man team was badly beaten up on Moon Street, there were still many objective conditions. Dusky cloud believed that the hot-blooded team he personally led was enough to rival the 30-man team formed by any expert other than thousand miles drunk in the game.

Just as he was gathering his men, the informant he sent out suddenly received a report: the informant had discovered the eagle group’s members near the thieves’Union.

“I only recognized one person, but there were three others with him,”the informant said.

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know. It seems like they’re just wandering around,”the informant replied.

“Can you keep an eye on them?”

“They haven’t found me yet anyway,”the spy said.

“Alright, keep an eye on me. Be careful, we’ll be there soon.”

Dusky cloud quickly gathered his men. 150 people naturally couldn’t just happen to be in one place. However, there were only four opponents at the moment, so 150 people wasn’t necessary. Besides, this was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed. Thus, he gathered 54 people at the fastest speed and rushed to the thieves’Union.

“They’re now at the Thieves’Union’s Third Street.”

“They’ve turned into the Second Street.”

“They’ve turned back into the square.”

“They’ve entered the Fourth Street again.”

“I think they’re also wandering around to see if they can bump into our people.”The spy continued to report the news while making some analysis.

“Hehe, they’ll find us very soon.”Pig Fairy’s smile was lascivious. Following the direction of his gaze, they had already reached the Fourth Street.

“Describe the four of them,”dusky cloud said.

“A knight, a warrior, a thief, and a priest,”the spy replied.

“Oh, they don’t have any ranged classes. We can easily kill them!”The military advisor began to spout nonsense.

“Broken Cloud, take half of your men and enter from this side. I’ll take a detour and intercept them from that side,”dusky cloud arranged the strategy.

“Is it necessary, old cloud? There’s only one thief among the four. The other three won’t be able to escape even if they wanted to. Do we still need to intercept them? Just send a few people to the other side,”broken cloud said.

Dusky cloud thought about it and felt that it made sense. Indeed, they didn’t need to split their forces in half just for one thief, so he randomly sent a few thieves and archers to take a detour.

After making the arrangements, dusky cloud waved his hand, and a group of brothers charged into the Fourth Street of the thieves’union with murderous intent.

This was just an ordinary street. There wouldn’t be too many people, and there wouldn’t be too few either. Players who liked to do business in the vicinity of the Resurrection Point would usually set up their stalls in the square outside the thieves’Union instead of here. This was a pure passageway. The players who came and went were only those who were hurrying on their way. They were all rushing forward at their fastest speed.

Although the opponents were only four people, dusky cloud wasn’t careless at all. After entering the street, he arranged positions for everyone to maintain their formation and advance forward. Immortal pig said a few words of arrogance, which naturally attracted another round of curses. After walking along the street for nearly half of the way, they gradually saw four players on the left of the street in front of them. Two players in front and two in the back were casually approaching them. They couldn’t use appraisal from a distance, but judging from their attire, they could completely match the equipment of the four jobs of Warrior, Knight, thief, priest.

“Spread out, spread out, slowly walk.”Dusky cloud gave an order in the party. The other party should know him, but dusky cloud was a thief, so it was safe and reasonable to cover his face, thus, he wasn’t afraid of alerting the other party by walking towards the other side. As for recognizing the guild badge, there were obviously no archers in the other party’s four-man team. By the time they recognized the badge, Dusky Cloud and the others would have already pounced on them.

The streets were very quiet, and the channel was also very quiet. Once they really started fighting, fairy pig didn’t dare to come and make noise. Everyone left the channel clean for Dusky Cloud to command.

50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters..

Dusky cloud could feel the sweat on his palms as the enemy drew closer. He stole a glance at his brothers on his left and right and saw that they were walking in a natural and casual manner. He could not see any battle formation from their scattered appearance, unless he could recognize the guild badge from so far away, he would not be able to tell that they were in cahoots.

“Why don’t we be more careful? Maybe we should take off our badges...”dusky cloud suddenly felt uneasy. They were facing a formidable enemy, yet they still wanted to wear their badges and take revenge. Wasn’t that a little too childish? But if they were to ask everyone to take off their badges now, wouldn’t the coordinated actions of dozens of people attract attention?

Dusky cloud was still struggling with this small detail, but as they got closer and closer to their opponents, someone in the channel couldn’t help but remind them, “Old Cloud!”

“Attack now?”? “They don’t seem to notice us at all. Should we wait for them to enter our formation and then suddenly launch an attack? Wouldn’t that encircle them?”Dusky cloud, who was walking in front, could already see the four faces in front of him clearly, seeing that they didn’t notice him at all, dusky cloud suddenly had a new dilemma.

“I’m only dealing with four people. Am I being too cautious?”Dusky Cloud had already brushed past the four people. He immediately had this thought of self-deprecating himself. Just as he was about to give the order to attack, he suddenly realized.., the players on the other side were facing him. Some were walking, some were running. All of them were so natural, just like them... dusky cloud suddenly realized something, the channel shouted, “Oh no, I’ve been tricked! ! !”

“What?”Everyone was staring at the channel, ready to let out a battle cry. Who would have thought that dusky cloud would suddenly say something like that. Dusky cloud then shouted again, “Fight to the death against these four! !”

Everyone had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Although they didn’t understand why dusky cloud had been tricked, they had been preparing for a long time to attack these four. Dusky Cloud’s group of brothers were naturally experienced in killing people. Those who stood at the front weren’t in a hurry to attack. Instead, they brushed past their opponents, cutting off their path of retreat. The players who stood at the front stopped them from moving forward. The ones who attacked were the mages and archers who were the furthest away from the four of them and had long-range attacks.

There were people blocking from the front and back. The middle space would be hit accurately by the Mages and archers. The only way out was to get rid of the players who were blocking them at a faster speed. Of course, this was not going to be easy. Dusky Cloud’s trusted brothers were not easy to deal with.

The four of them did not seem to want to do this either. The priest among the four suddenly propped up his staff. Dusky Cloud, who was not far away from them, heard him call out, “Mana Shield.” A wave of light that was flowing with white light suddenly spread out. In an instant, it condensed into a small ball with a diameter of three meters. The other three people also stood next to the priest, and the four of them just happened to enter the ball of light.

The descending wheel of fire was blocked outside the ball of light. The Blazing Tree of a thousand inferno rose from the ground, but it was also blocked outside the three-meter radius. Only the Archer’s arrows seemed to have met nothing as they pierced through the ball of light and hit the four people. However, the warrior immediately pulled out his shield and raised it, blocking all the arrows.

This magic barrier was obviously ineffective against physical attacks. Moreover, after this wave of magic attacks, the light of the ball of light dimmed a lot, and the priest was still holding his staff without moving, obviously, this was a continuous consumption-type spell that needed to maintain its appearance.

“Continue to attack!”Dusky cloud roared. He reckoned that this spell would not last for long.

“I didn’t expect boss Cloud to come personally.”Dusky cloud heard a sound beside his ear. He saw the knight among the four actually take the initiative to walk out of the magic barrier and swing his sword towards him.

“Forever?”Dusky cloud dodged the sword. His opponent’s speed surprised him. This was definitely a bonus to agility points. Dusky Cloud had never encountered such a knight before.

“Not bad,”forever replied before raising his hand and casting a spell. Dusky cloud felt as if his body had been tightened for a moment. Following which, he saw a jet-black Sword Flash. Dusky cloud hurriedly dodged again, but this time, his movements were actually somewhat slow.

“Dark Paladin.”Dusky cloud was also a knowledgeable person. Before level 40, the Paladin class would only use blessing skills that strengthened the attributes of the player. However, after level 40, the Light Paladin’s blessing skills would be further strengthened, while the Dark Paladin’s blessing skills would be greatly weakened, in this way, the Dark Paladin’s skills before level 40 would all be crippled. This was clearly a little illogical. Therefore, after changing classes to dark knights, players could choose to cast their own skills along with the dark corruption: all blessings would become curses.

This was a free choice question, so players could continue to be blessed instead of curses. There were quite a number of dark knights who trained alone, but they still retained the blessing class for the time being. Because according to their research, curses were more useful in pvp. As for leveling up, giving yourself a half-tone blessing was much more useful than curses.

Of course, Dusky Cloud’s Guild also had dark knights who played curses. His actions suddenly slowed down. It was obvious that his dexterity had been cursed by the other party. After dodging the sword, he looked at his attribute panel. Sure enough, his dexterity had been weakened.

And eternal was obviously a knight who added dexterity. The Knight class was all balanced. There were no advantages or disadvantages in each attribute. There was no disadvantage in adding anything. Therefore, there was always controversy over what to add. Dusky Cloud had seen the most people who added vitality and intelligence. He had also seen people who added agility, but he had never seen someone who added so much as eternal. This was because after being cursed, he realized that his speed was actually not faster than eternal.

Being unable to rely on his speed to move around and fight was very fatal to assassins. Dusky cloud made up his mind and simply rushed forward to fight for his life. He shouted at his other brothers, “Fight!”

Before this, everyone had yet to realize why dusky cloud had been tricked. But now, they knew why they had to go all out.

It was because their opponents weren’t four people, but 30 people, a total of 30 people. The random crowd on the street was just like them, putting on an act. As soon as the battle began, they had already rushed forward.

This was a trap... dusky cloud thought of guarding against the mole, but he didn’t expect the mole to directly act as a spy and send out false information to lure them over. It could be said that he was going to sell them out to the end.

On one side, there were fifty elites from the Ten Guild Alliance. On the other side, there were thirty elites in the entire game.

Although dusky cloud had the advantage in numbers, he had to admit that they were the ones who needed to fight.
