Chapter 321 Retreating as a Form of Advance

Chapter 272 The First Sentence

The person speaking was the most silent among all the mercenary团长 (tuanzhang, chiefs), yet everyone hoped to interact with her more: the leader of the Amethyst Mercenary团 (tuan, group), Luo Luo.

The guild leader of Rebirth Amethyst was Seven Moon. Generally, the mercenary团长 (tuanzhang, chief) under a guild was concurrently held by the guild leader. However, there were exceptions, such as Reflection of Time serving as the团长 (tuanzhang, chief) of the Four Seas Mercenary团 (tuan, group) of Across the World. Rebirth Amethyst was also such an exception, with Luo Luo serving as the mercenary团长 (tuanzhang, chief).

Among the leadership present, there were only two girls, one was Luo Luo, and the other was Gu Xiao Shang. But Luo Luo was clearly more profound than Gu Xiao Shang, because all the members of her mercenary团 (tuan, group) were girls. If any player attempted to establish an immortal monument like a harem in the game, building a good relationship with the团长 (tuanzhang, chief) of a girls'团 (tuan, group) was obviously very valuable. It was just a pity that Luo Luo was very silent during the several meetings of the团长 (tuanzhang, chiefs). She listened to everyone's speeches silently, making it impossible for people to find an opportunity to build a relationship with her.

Because Luo Luo was also very clear that their mercenary团 (tuan, group) was invited for only one reason: Xi Yao Wu (Fine Waist Dance). Without this strong person, their mercenary团 (tuan, group)'s strength basically belonged to the lower ranks of Cloudrise City, and the only special thing was that it was composed entirely of girls. But if this would also become a reason for invitation, then it would basically be the base thought of bringing comfort women during the march.

If it were up to Luo Luo, Xi Yao Wu (Fine Waist Dance) would have come to this团长 (tuanzhang, chief) meeting. It's just a pity that Xi Yao Wu (Fine Waist Dance) didn't know where she was playing every time she was notified to meet and have a meeting. This girl was really too casual.

At this moment, when it came to the problem that Silvermoon was missing, Luo Luo suddenly threw out her maiden sentence at the团长 (tuanzhang, chief) meeting.

"Oh?" Sword of No Oath didn't dare to neglect it and quickly asked, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know." Luo Luo shook her head, "We just saw him run to the tree to dig grass, and then he hid behind the tree when people weren't paying attention, and then, we didn't see him come back."

"What's he doing?" Sword of No Oath wondered.

"I don't know, didn't you have something for him to do?" Luo Luo asked back.

"No!" Sword of No Oath was very puzzled, muttering "He didn't even say a word before leaving," and he was very dissatisfied and sent a message to Silvermoon to inquire.

When everyone was puzzled by this, Han Family's Young Master was smiling gently on the side. Luo Luo also sent him a message: "Is this okay?"

"It's okay." Han Family's Young Master replied.

"What's next?" Luo Luo asked.

"Next, if no one actively hypothesizes, I'll have to take the lead myself." Just as Han Family's Young Master sent this message back, a mercenary团长 (tuanzhang, chief) jumped out: "Could it be that Silvermoon is the one who is playing tricks right now?"

"Silvermoon said he went back to White Stone City!" Sword of No Oath frowned.

Silvermoon had been hanging back for a long time. While consuming time with Stillness and Cloud in Dusk and others, he had already planned a script on how to face the brothers he had abandoned and Across the World, who attempted to use him. He was preparing to write a legendary song about not wanting his personal revenge to burden his brothers and friends, and going to his death alone. Only in this way could his solitary situation possibly turn around, and only then could he be freed from his predicament.

To achieve this, he must not take the initiative. He made a sacrifice for his brothers, but the next second he notified everyone about it. No matter how you look at it, this was just grandstanding. So he had to wait. Wait until they found out that he was gone and asked anxiously. Only by saying a few simple words in a lighthearted manner could he make his image tall and complete. So during this time, Silvermoon had been thinking about how to highlight his image without revealing any flaws. At the same time, he was also anxious: Damn, why hasn't anyone noticed that I'm gone yet?

At this time, someone finally noticed, but it was not the right time.

The more chaotic the moment, the more opportunities there will be. It was a pity that Silvermoon didn't know the situation here at all, but Han Family's Young Master saw everything in his eyes. So, a very malicious plan to splash dirty water was formed.

Silvermoon left quietly, and he came up with a gorgeous explanation for himself.

However, Han Family's Young Master also gave him an explanation based on the current situation. What's even more fatal was that Han Family's Young Master hadn't said a word so far, but fully utilized all the existing resources. So someone was naturally guided to hook and said what he wanted to say for him: Silvermoon's quiet departure was related to the current situation.

Silvermoon's plan was to retreat in order to advance, but the problem was that now he retreated, but no one followed up. After he very casually said to Sword of No Oath, "Sorry, he hung up," Sword of No Oath never replied to his message again. Silvermoon was really anxious to death. Why didn't this Sword of No Oath ask, "How did he hang up?"

Of course, he didn't know that the problem of whether he was hung up or not was not within the scope of Sword of No Oath's concern. He was also thinking about the relationship between Silvermoon's departure and the current predicament.

A dispute also arose between the团长 (tuanzhang, chiefs) present. The affirmative side believed that Silvermoon must be involved in this, and the negative side believed that it should be irrelevant. The reason was that Silvermoon's own brothers in the mercenary团 (tuan, group) were still here!

"Hmph, he ran away leaving his own brothers behind. This isn't the first time for him." Someone said coldly.

Sakurazuka Tsukizi!

Han Family's Young Master was really satisfied. He didn't need to say anything.

"How would you know?" Someone asked Sakurazuka Tsukizi. Those present didn't have a deep friendship with Silvermoon. When someone asked about Silvermoon's past misdeeds, he used the same excuses as he did in the dungeon, making everyone sigh and sympathize with him.

"How would I know?" Sakurazuka Tsukizi sneered, "Didn't you ask around when you passed by Moonlight City? Who doesn't know about it there?"

Everyone was stunned. They didn't have any special friendship with Silvermoon. Who would specially inquire about Silvermoon's affairs when passing by Moonlight City!

So Sakurazuka Tsukizi added fuel to the fire. With his wretchedness, the concentration of this added fuel was quite high. Silvermoon was almost the number one villain in the world since ancient times. Especially the story about him abandoning his wife and smearing her at the same time was the most disgusting. Gu Xiao Shang jumped up first. Since Silvermoon wasn't here to vent on, she could only point the finger at Sword of No Oath: "Damn, what did you bring such garbage here for? Are all the people in Cloudrise City dead? Did you have to bring such a person here?"

"I didn't know beforehand!" Sword of No Oath smiled bitterly.

Poor Silvermoon was still sitting alone in the knight camp of White Stone City, waiting for Sword of No Oath to ask him how he died with concern.

Han Family's Young Master finally opened his mouth at this time: "It's not necessarily that Silvermoon participated in this matter. Maybe he just found out there was danger, so he wanted to flash, but was stopped and killed."

This was the real retreat in order to advance!

This crime didn't seem as serious as Silvermoon laying an ambush and designing to harm everyone. But the problem was that this matter wasn't done by Silvermoon, and it wasn't within the control of Han Family's Young Master. He didn't have the ability to carry this big dirty water for Silvermoon. So he took a step back at the right time and pointed out that Silvermoon might just be afraid of death and wanted to run away.

Although this crime wasn't serious, it was very real. Silvermoon's character had been portrayed to the extreme.

And Han Family's Young Master's purpose was finally achieved.

Even if he succeeded in planting the blame for the trap encirclement on Silvermoon, he would only help Silvermoon create more enemies. This was unnecessary because just Cloud in Dusk's group was enough to fix him. However, today's opportunism was to expose Silvermoon's character to everyone at a very appropriate time. When everyone calmed down and looked back, they would find that in the end, everyone only talked about one theme about Silvermoon: This guy is a scum. There was nothing else besides that.

And what Han Family's Young Master needed was this. At this point, all of Silvermoon's hopes had been cut off. Sword of No Oath sent a message back to Silvermoon: "Hung up?"

Silvermoon, who had been waiting for a long time, was overjoyed, but he was still pretending: "It's nothing."

"Oh, hung up pretty far away?"

"Yes, the knight camp!" Silvermoon said lightly, while shouting in his heart, "Ask me quickly, ask me why I'm still in the knight camp after dying for so long."

As a result, Sword of No Oath's message was even more indifferent: "It's getting late, might as well wash up and go to sleep!"

Silvermoon was petrified. It was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to take the initiative. The drawback of retreating in order to advance was here. What he didn't know was that Sword of No Oath had quickly deleted him as a friend after saying this. No matter what plans Silvermoon wanted to come up with to fool him, a stranger couldn't contact the president of Cloudrise City...

"Cough..." After Sword of No Oath finished dealing with this, he found that everyone was still deeply continuing to despise Silvermoon's character. He felt that the few sentences he had exchanged with Silvermoon just now were really beautiful, and he couldn't help but join in everyone's contempt.

"Hey, hey!" Finally, Reflection of Time couldn't help it, "Can you stop talking about that garbage? How do we get out of here now?"

"Cough..." Everyone came back to their senses.

"Continuing to waste our time and energy is just a waste. We have to get out of the forest as soon as possible," said Reflection of Time.

Nonsense... everyone said silently, who doesn't know this?

"So..." Just as Reflection of Time was about to say his plan, he suddenly heard a scream from the player group over there.

"Who the hell stepped on the trap again?" Sword of No Oath got up and looked over there.

"There are thieves! There are thieves next to us!!!" There was an uproar from the player group over there.

"Is the attack about to begin?" All the团长 (tuanzhang, chiefs) cheered up and stood up one after another.

They were not afraid of frontal conflicts. What they had been worried about was that the other party would just throw traps here to wear them down. Now that they were actually starting to attack, that was good, really!
