Chapter 434 - 434: The Finale
Chapter 434: Chapter 434: The Finale
Compared to the tumultuous world channel, each channel of the Starfire Guild was equally bustling, but unadulterated with external chaos. They only felt incredibly invigorated.
Most of the guild members were now reaping the benefits of leveling up. They were already strong, being the elite among players.
After being absorbed into Starfire, they dared not slack off because the guild’s competitive environment was full of explosive tension.
The guild was consistently assembling teams. For instance, the core team out of a thousand members only included forty positions, reserves included.
Next, the formation of fighting squads. Many top players were attracted by this. A squad had even fewer places, only ten positions.
Following that would be the second and third teams and squads. Starfire’s members were working their hardest to join a better team.
Moreover, they were not entirely convinced by the teams in front. They were currently holding their breaths.
Later, when Li Yao had formulated the leveling strategy that was initially reserved for the core team or the first team, he decided to share it with the guild. As a result, the overall guild level had also risen steadily.
Even Li Yao, who had stopped leveling up, and the Vice Guild Leader who had neglected leveling due to guild affairs, started to rapidly level up. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
On Li Yao’s end, things had already heated up. The Frogman General seemed to realize something was wrong.
Just by looking at his enraged expression, you could tell. But now, he was in a dilemma.
His troop count had already dwindled significantly. It was impossible to retreat now. Having lost so many soldiers, he could no longer control the seas.
If he retreated now, the Prince would be able to escape back to the Tide Tribe through the gap, which meant all of his previous efforts would be wasted.
Even if the Prince failed in his trials, he would still be finished. This was not the outcome he wanted.
Moreover, admitting he was deceived now would deal a significant blow to the troop’s morale. Without any external threat, the army would collapse and lose control. Should the Prince incite a rebellion in the name of justice, they might even turn their attacks on him.
At least currently, the Frogman soldiers were brimming with firepower, and several people’s health bars were bobbing, ready to kick off at any moment, even though this situation had been going on for the better part of the day.
“The Frogman General does have some brains. He seems to have noticed the problem,” Sister Li commented. “Can this continue?
The Prince replied, “Don’t worry, he won’t back down. He has no way out, didn’t you see? He’s instructing his trusted aides to release magical spells randomly, clearly trying to locate our true positions.”
Li Yao laughed, “I think he would have a hard time. Even if they locate us now, we’re at an advantageous position, making it even harder for him to handle us.”
The group burst into laughter. Indeed, the cliff here was a steep one, melee fighters couldn’t reach them, and ranged magic attacks targeting their high vantage point would be challenging.
“Moreover, I have a water container here. When the time comes, Sister Li could use ice to build a barrier without a problem,” Li Yao was still holding the bottle given by the Queen. It was indeed handy.
“If I can successfully regain control of my tribe, I will definitely form an alliance with your guild,” the Prince solemnly promised.
Li Yao didn’t say anything; he just patted his shoulder.
“Big brother, Sister Fruits asked where we’re leveling up,” Tongtong happily said. “I told her we were with big brother, and they were all super envious.”
Li Yao checked the elder’s channel and sure enough, Guardian Angel was constantly asking how they were leveling up.
Li Yao directly shared his screen to the channel.
“Bloody hell, you’re battling an army? That’s absolutely outrageous!” Guardian Angel was surprised to see the water surface stained red with blood and bodies were littered everywhere.
“You guessed it right, we are in a major fight with the Frogman Army. It’s been several hours already, hehe, I’m already level 19, I guess I would make it to level 20 today,” the adorable Tongtong excitedly said.
Guardian Angel complained grumpily, “Guild Leader, that’s not fair. You flew off with two beauties, but what about us? We poor souls are here leveling up laboriously. Guild Leader’s wife is summoning her pet for leveling up, and she is also taking care of the squad residence. We pitiful ones will only reach level 19 by tonight.”
Li Yao nodded, “This army does not infinitely respawn. Limitations being, first the cave’s space, and secondly, the number of monsters isn’t infinite either. I speculate, allowing three people to level up to 20 is the extreme limit. I couldn’t handle it on my own and that’s why I needed Sister Li’s help.”
At this moment, Fruit Knight spoke, “Guild leader, don’t bother about him. He was ecstatic before today, leveling up was like flying for him; he was saying your strategy was good.”
“That’s because I hadn’t compared with this freak.” Guardian Angel was a little upset.
Fruit Knight glared at him, “You know where you stand. Without the guild leader, you wouldn’t even have your current leveling speed. Hurry up, stop watching and pull more monsters.”
Guardian Angel immediately wilted. He had completely turned into an MT, specializing in assisting Fruit Knight.
“You guys don’t need to be let down. Wait for a bit longer. After pioneering the dungeon and when it’s time for the guild to station, I’ll take the whole guild to level up together,” Li Yao said.
“Bloody hell, is that true or false? Taking the entire guild together, by then, there will be three thousand guild members.” Guardian KNight exclaimed.
“Hahaha, whether I’m pulling your leg or not, you’ll know when the time comes.” Li Yao didn’t say much.
“Fine, I’ll just wait then. By the way, weren’t you making a Mechanical Puppet? Now you’re level 20, let’s see its effects.” Guardian Knight curiously commented.
“Bloody armored man, buzz off. I hardly get the chance to enjoy the fight, and you’re thinking of having the master replace me.” The Ice Serpent was very dissatisfied.
“Bloody hell, your pet…”
“Pet my ass! Hustle and get stronger, or else next time I’ll control your mind and have you streak in the streets. You dare?” The Dark Serpent was also discontented.
“Fine, I lost. You’re too ruthless.” Guardian Knight didn’t dare to comment. This hydra was too sinister. If he really got controlled and ended up streaking, that would be unbearably embarrassing.
“Alright, Hydra needs to evolve its third head. It’s absorbing toxins and cannot be replaced. You’ll have the chance to see it. Honestly, I’m also quite curious,” Li Yao was eager to see the effects of the modification. But now wasn’t the time.
“Freak, I’ve been shocked once again, never mind, I’ll no longer watch you. Or else I’ll lose the mood to level up.” Guardian Angel abruptly closed the shared video.
Li Yao smiled silently. What’s this? When they see him being able to summon more than one pet to fight one day, they’ll probably get even more surprised.
Time passed quickly amidst their lighthearted banter.
In the end, the Frogman General still managed to find the real location of the cave. But underwater, he had many tricks up his sleeve. But mid-air, they really didn’t have any good solutions.
The Frogman General even led his soldiers forward. But he couldn’t reach the real cave, and his troop count had also dwindled significantly.
Moreover, the adorable Tongtong and Sister Li had each levelled up to level 20 already and even got featured on the world announcement, although not as colorful and only on the right.
But rewards like the extra talent point made them very happy…
