Chapter 1967: Becoming Enemies with the Officials

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Altogether, there were six clubs that were frantically fighting now .

However, the only one that was frustrated was Jade Flower Lover .

Peacetime Dynasty and Grand Hegemony were not frustrated at all . Majin Temple had betrayed then and allied with Blood Red War Flag . There never existed a possibility of them claiming the Stronghold . They were currently in a battle with that was not so much a desperate struggle as “I’ll fight whoever fights me” .

Majin Temple wasn’t frustrated either . Unforgettable Maple had done everything he could do . If Jade Flower Lover couldn’t claim the Stronghold, then it went to show he deserved it .

Wings of Dawn was even less concerned . Elevenless only had 20-30 players left . His principle now was to “kill whoever was in sight” .

Meanwhile, Lu Li had already sent people to attack the Stronghold tablet . So long as their enemies were held up on this side, the Stronghold was going to be his sooner or later .

Jade Flower Lover tried to divide his forces but was stopped by the players of Ruling Sword .

After losing a group of people, he realised an issue . Rather than retreating, he might as well go for it with these idiots . Only if he cleared off all the enemies on the arena did he have a chance of stopping Ruling Sword .

The tablet wasn’t something that could be broken within a short amount of time . He still had a chance . Jade Flower Lover comforted himself this way .

Evidently, even the audience members could see that he had no chance at all .

The result in the end was that Blood Red War Flag defeated all of their enemies . As they were on their way towards the tablet, it was broken . He was then transferred out of the battlegrounds, filled with hatred .

Ruling Sword had successfully seized the Stronghold .

The other battles had also concluded . As expected, Ruling Sword’s other Stronghold had also been successfully defended .

What was unexpected was that Glory Capital’s four Strongholds remained in their control . However, despite strength to spare, Wendelian chose not to expand without careful consideration . Her club’s operating strategy was still more conservative at the current stage .

The one who was in the worst shape was probably Wings of Dawn .

Elevenless wasn’t able to take down Black Sea Coast’s second Stronghold . Dream 13 wasn’t able to take down Stranglethorn Vale’s second Stronghold . Moreover, Stranglethorn’s first Stronghold which they originally owned was taken by Drizzle Court .

Apparently, after the two brothers accepted this reality, they held each other and cried . Then, they fought with each other for a while and ended up going for drinks hand in hand .

The winner of Stranglethorn Vale’s second stronghold was a smaller guild from the Horde with a ranking in the mid-twenties . They had likely seen the crisis of Glory Capital and felt the huge mountain of pressure above them shift . Hence, they chose to come out and show off their existence .

There were quite a lot of clubs in the Horde, but they had all been neutered by Glory Capital .

Apart from this guild, there was also Open Sky, who had defeated Stellar Union and taken Loch Modan . This club didn’t have any amazing players . They didn’t even have any celebrity competitors, but their alumni included the past-professional player and now-commentator, Nine Phoenix .

The only other change to come from the Stronghold wars was the Hillsbrad Foothills of Blood Red War Flag . Jade Flower Lover kept thinking about stealing from others and ended up having his own backyard burned up .

Their second Stronghold of the Hillsbrad Foothills was taken by Azure Guard .

Out of the super clubs, Azure Guard had taken over Wings of Dawn’s place .

Life was always everchanging .

Ruling Sword now had two Strongholds in the Black Sea Coast and one in Grey Valley . They indirectly controlled two, which were occupied by Life Alliance and Judgement Spear .

In terms of their alliances, Peerless City was fighting steadily with the Stonetalon Mountains and Thousand Needles in their hands .

Drizzle Court didn’t need to worry about the two Strongholds in the Western Wilderness . They had also taken the first Stronghold of Stranglethorn Vale .

The alliance of the three guilds occupied ten strongholds, out of the 23 in total . They had more than double of what Glory Capital had .

Not long after, the officials changed the rules of Stronghold battles .

Originally, the stronghold battles could involve 80 players . This number was now expanded to 200 . Different items were also introduced, such as stone throwing chariots and siege ladders .

Stone throwing chariots could be used by both offensive and defensive sides, while the siege ladders could only be used by the offensive side .

The principle of the game developers was to prevent a club from occupying too many Strongholds . Otherwise, the Stronghold Wars would become stale and repetitive .

In the process of continuous failure and success, to continue surviving could lead to the development into a hegemon .

The last of the top eight matches was between Blood Red War Flag and Wings of Dawn .

There was no suspense in this battle . Blood Red War Flag took their home match 5:1, and the away match 5:2 . As such, the third round had become a friendly match .

Wings of Dawn lost a Stronghold and a match, but somehow earned another round of financing .

More money naturally meant stronger abilities .

They could give elite groups money, and attract more and more elite players, while replacing underperforming guild members .

Only poor people like Lu Li could develop their guilds honestly and sincerely .

The expansion of the elite group was in full swing . Other than that, there would not be much possibility for any trouble .

Lu Li also had to research how to guard their Strongholds . One Stronghold had 200 people defending it . That meant that five Strongholds would require 1000 people!

They simply did not have enough elite players for this .

This was a massive crisis!

However, Lu Li wasn’t afraid . He wasn’t someone who let himself enjoy things . His experience when he was young made him afraid . He felt that enjoyment and death were equal to each other . All living beings suffered and only when they died could they be at ease .

After succeeding, he continuously broke through his comfort zone and exposed himself to new crises .

Of course, he didn’t know everything . After he entered the sight of Water Fairy’s grandpa, there were naturally people who noticed his growth and quickly ended up with this conclusion .

Lu Li was a nouveau rich, but not all nouveau rich were good enough for the little princess of the Fan family .

“Judgement Spear, you guys need to rely on yourselves . Nuo Yu, Sikong Clear and the rest of you need to rely on yourselves if you want to securely keep the Winterspring Stronghold . ” Lu Li handed over Judgement Spear to the responsibility of their leaders after the official policy came out .

If Ruling Sword faced a huge challenge, then it could be said that Judgement Spear had faced a crowning calamity .

The plan was to have five elite teams . At the moment, there were a little more than three . Moreover, these 300 or so people needed 200 people to participate in the Stronghold battle . Looking at all the other clubs, this proportion was an absolute joke .
