Chapter 191 Singing and Drinking

Dui Jiu Dang Ge (Singing and Drinking), the second largest guild in Cloudend City, was, in fact, on par with Zong Heng Si Hai (Across the Four Seas) in terms of scale. Both were level 5 guilds with a full roster of 750 members. Given the player base in Parallel World, the large guilds were only worried about not having a high enough level. As for members? As soon as the guild level increased, they could immediately recruit to the maximum. So many people were trying their best to get into such large organizations.

The reason why Dui Jiu Dang Ge was considered the second largest guild was simply that it was a little behind Zong Heng Si Hai in the initial development stage. It was always slightly slower than Zong Heng Si Hai in leveling up, and as a result, it was at a disadvantage in terms of replenishing members after leveling up.

However, guild competition wasn't such a simple speed race. The daily maintenance of the guild was also important work. Large guilds wouldn't just sit around with their 750 members. Turnover was frequent. Those who hadn't been online for a long time, or who were leveling up slowly and didn't meet the requirements, were regularly cleared out; the extra positions were naturally used to absorb stronger new blood.

This kind of arms race was the main theme of competition between guilds. So, the first and second place between these two major guilds was just a matter of who leveled up first. In terms of strength, since the two guilds hadn't had any conflicts, and the outside world didn't know much about the major experts in the guilds, it was really hard to tell who was better. But it was believed that this competition would become an important basis for evaluating strength in the future.

Now, the members of the tiny 54-person guild, Chong Sheng Zi Jing (Rebirth Amethyst), couldn't help but look gloomy after drawing such a formidable opponent.

Although the girls didn't care much about winning or losing, not caring ultimately wasn't the same as not caring at all. Deep down, there was still a little expectation for a miracle. Living a life of mediocrity, on the day when they couldn't go on, they would also feel a little lost. The girls were in this state of mind now.

After Qiyue finished the introduction, she didn't say any inspiring words of encouragement, but simply said, "Everyone, do your best."

The girls nodded, and Gu Fei also chose to remain silent. Xi Yao Wu (Willow Waist Dance) circled around Gu Fei again: "Today the resources are very abundant, I definitely won't lose to you."

Gu Fei smiled wryly: "This is probably the last chance, you have to work hard."

Xi Yao Wu was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"Don't you think we still have a chance to win today?" Gu Fei was surprised.

"Why not?" Xi Yao Wu was surprised in return, "Haven't you seen the forums?"

"Forums?" Gu Fei didn't react, "I haven't looked much, what's on there?"

"The Gongzi (Young Master) Elite Team of only 6 people took down the Muyun (Pastoral Cloud) Mercenary Group with nearly 70 participants, don't you even know about this?" Xi Yao Wu exclaimed.

"I know, I know too well," Gu Fei said.

Everyone was attracted by Xi Yao Wu's exclamation. Although the reputation of the Gongzi Elite Team wasn't very widespread, they had a lot of weight among the original old members of Chong Sheng Zi Jing. They knew that the Gongzi Elite Team was the one who helped them deal with Bu Xiao (Never Smiles). So, when the Gongzi Elite Team made the headlines, the girls cheered for them. Now, hearing Xi Yao Wu suddenly mention this mercenary group, they all pricked up their ears to hear what gossip there was.

Xi Yao Wu cleared her throat, her eyes sweeping across everyone: "Girls!!"

"Cough cough!!" Gu Fei coughed hard twice.

Xi Yao Wu glared at him: "And someone else."

Gu Fei didn't say anything. Being someone else was better than being classified as "girls."

In her subsequent speech, Xi Yao Wu stated: the Gongzi Elite Team is a good example for us. Their spirit of not fearing strong enemies and using their own advantages to deal with the enemy is worth learning. In today's battle, we will encounter the exact same situation and difficulties as the Gongzi Elite Team, so we must learn their tenacious style. Run if you can, and drag someone down with you if you can't. Maximize your contribution and contribute every bit of your strength to the final victory of the guild.

Xi Yao Wu's speech aroused extremely enthusiastic responses. The girls who attended the meeting said that after listening to Xi Yao Wu's words, they had seen the light and rekindled their hope for victory in this competition. Everyone guaranteed that they would follow the instructions of the Xi Yao Wu spirit, and play with style and skill in this competition.

The meeting ended in an optimistic atmosphere. As the system countdown ended, everyone was teleported to the battlefield.

Xi Yao Wu waved her daggers and shouted, disappearing like a shooting star.

The girls waved their weapons in response, running in all directions.

Gu Fei was at the very back of the crowd, spitting out a mouthful of blood despondently. Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a useless person is not worth making plans with. If they could still win this game today, unless Xi Yao Wu really had the immortal body of Seiya from the Bronze Saints when he broke through the Twelve Palaces of the Zodiac.

Gu Fei didn't rush to attack. He casually climbed a small hill next to him and looked around. He knew that even if Han Jia Gongzi (Han Family Young Master) came to command from the high ground, it would probably be useless.

The total number of participants in this match between Dui Jiu Dang Ge and Chong Sheng Zi Jing was over 700, and this map was much larger than the ones Gu Fei had experienced before. Even from this high vantage point, there were clearly areas beyond the range of vision. How could he command in this situation? Commanding from a high point, as Han Jia Gongzi said, did have many limitations.

Gu Fei got off the small hill and staggered to start his journey. The large number of participants meant that this competition was not only on a large map, but also took a long time. Perhaps, on such a large map, could he really rely on that method of running around and killing people to drag out a victory by himself?

Thinking like this, Gu Fei gave up on advancing from the front. This would obviously clash with the opponent's main force. Gu Fei detoured from the side, wanting to observe the specific situation of the enemy first.

He opened the guild channel and saw that it was surprisingly clean. It seemed that the girls had high expectations for victory, and they were really focused at this time. However, sometimes being focused can't solve all problems. The girls' lack of strength was an undeniable fact...

Gu Fei continued to run forward. The channel was clean, the battlefield was quiet. Gu Fei was feeling like he was entering another dimension when suddenly the guild channel flashed, and Xi Yao Wu blurted out a sentence: "Holy crap!"

Gu Fei's heart tightened. Xi Yao Wu's high attack and high speed were a battle power no less than Gu Fei's. Having her would increase the chances of winning by a few points. Could it be that this woman was killed so quickly?

However, the system didn't send out any messages. Xi Yao Wu continued in the channel: "These guys are too funny."

"What's wrong?" A bunch of girls' inquiries came from the guild channel.

"Come and see," Xi Yao Wu said.

Xi Yao Wu was too fast and rushed too far forward. Others would need some time to encounter what she saw. Gu Fei was considered the second fastest, but he had wasted a lot of time climbing the hill and detouring. At this time, the front was still a vast and desolate scene.

He sped up and hurried on his way. Finally, he vaguely saw some figures, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Holy crap!"

In front of him, the people of Dui Jiu Dang Ge were lined up in a row, each person spaced a few meters apart, just walking forward with their heads held high. Gu Fei had no doubt that with their nearly 700 participants, this line must have stretched to both ends of the map. Walking to the other side of the map like this was equivalent to searching the entire map, so no one could escape their sight.

Having a lot of people still has its advantages! Gu Fei sighed repeatedly. But while this formation was leak-proof in searching, it was a bit too weak in terms of interception, and the effect was probably limited!

Just as he was thinking this, Qiyue had already issued a gathering order in the guild channel. It seemed that she was preparing to unite everyone to charge at this line of defense.

The girls had different speeds, but they were walking on the same road. It didn't take much time to gather at this time. Gu Fei had taken a long detour, so he was far away from them. Although he was fast, he was still a few points slower than everyone else. By the time he gradually approached the gathering point, he could already hear shouts of killing. They were already engaged in battle.

Gu Fei rushed up the hillside in front of him, and when he reached the top, he looked down and saw that the two sides were fighting below.

The number of people from Dui Jiu Dang Ge was at an absolute disadvantage, but several of them were calm and composed, and cooperated well. They didn't fight the girls head-on, and maintained their formation to focus on defense. And the shortcomings of the girls' lack of command and team PK experience were now apparent. The positioning of the personnel was a chaotic mess.

Since there was no damage avoidance for teammates in Parallel World, the positioning and movement in team battles were extremely important. A disorganized charge like Chong Sheng Zi Jing's meant that the archers' shooting routes were blocked by their own people, and the mages couldn't use their large-scale magic attacks. The warriors, who were often responsible for charging at the front line, were slow and had fallen behind, and the ones really charging at the front were the thieves, who should have been using stealth to deliver sudden close-range attacks.

The few people from Dui Jiu Dang Ge retreated while fighting, further spreading out Chong Sheng Zi Jing's already loose formation, and reinforcements from both sides of their line were constantly arriving. How could the girls have a chance of winning like this? It seemed that Dui Jiu Dang Ge had fully understood the other side's situation before arranging such a formation with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

As a result, the disadvantages seemed so insignificant in front of the girls. This formation could be said to be quite successful.

Gu Fei finally couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed down the hillside, shouting, "Everyone back off, let me handle this!"

The girls were just lacking a commander. As soon as someone spoke, they were happy to listen, no matter who it was. Hearing Gu Fei shout, they immediately began to retreat.

Gu Fei raised the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, ready to chant, but the opponent was very aware of his intentions and shot an arrow at him, naturally preventing him from chanting. At the same time, he heard a familiar voice coldly say, "Area of effect spells, isolate that kid over there."
