Chapter 1402 - Straight Ahead

Chapter 1402: Straight Ahead
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Heart of War wasn’t going to give up just like that; he directed the Chariots from other two routes to head over.

Should we intercept those Chariots?
Wandering asked. He quickly knew what Heart of War had planned since he was standing from higher ground.
There was still some time before the Chariots would arrive in the middle lane from the top and bottom lanes. It wasn’t difficult to either perform a surprise attack on a particular route, or even just take out both the Chariots.

What’s the point?

Lu Li shook his head; he wasn’t interested.


It wasn’t like they were being paid for this stream. Why did they need to play so tactically? All that mattered was the victory. Lu Li was certain that they wouldn’t be able to even reach their walls.

So, we just look and do nothing?
Wandering was speechless.
The analysts outside were even more speechless. Based on the usual rules of the industry, the battle parties could slightly bribe them a little so that they would talk in one party’s favour.
If the Gangnam Royals bribed the analysts, then the analysts would speak a lot highly of them. Whether they were at a disadvantage or if they lost, the two analysts could explain the situation in a nicer tone and shift the blame elsewhere.
When Lu Li ambushed the Chariots with his bombs, the analysts mentioned that Lu Li had used them a long time ago and diverted the attention.
The analysts could tell that Lu Li wasn’t just throwing bombs to break the Chariots; he was also doing it to bring down the durability. However, Heart of War couldn’t see through the problem despite being the commander, which was a little awkward for the analysts to explain.
Analysts at the level of Dark Winds and Four Seas Dragon would still take bribes, but they wouldn’t make comments out of the boundaries.
It was an unspoken rule in the industry to take bribes, but the content that they analysed and how they did it was related directly to their morals.
With an outcome like this, the two analysts couldn’t find something that they could say without talking negatively about the Gangnam Royals. Everything they said was just jokes and tears at this point.
Four Seas Dragon, who had always been straightforward and savage with his words said,
A useless general pulls down his army. First, the starting formation had issues. If the Chariots were scattered properly, the damage that the bombs dealt wouldn’t be as bad right now. Secondly, the formation didn’t use the area outside of the walls to their advantage and once again, the army faced an endless bombing. Finally, the commander separated the Chariots and the players. Was he going to wait until all the players died to make a move?



The fans of the Gangnam Royals were furious and claimed that this analyst was stating the obvious.
For a guild to be able to survive for so many years, there had to be a good reason.
The Gangnam Royals had their glorious days before; they had once competed against Glory Capital for the title of the top guild. Even before that, they had stood in Glory Capital’s position.
In those years, they created so many legends and attracted countless players to have faith in them.
Lu Li had no clue about these things. He couldn’t care less about the analyst or the audience since he was about to win anyway. If he really had to complain about something, it would be that he had overestimated the strength of the Gangnam Royals and used too many bombs on them. Lu Li’s expression darkened; he was heartbroken from using too many bombs.
He had heard that the Gangnam Royals had requested for support from outside a week ago, but why didn’t they spend some money and request for a good commander too?
Underestimating opponents would often lead to a defeat, but overestimating them also meant that you would lose profit.
Once again, the Gangnam Royals gathered their remaining Chariots to the middle lane and regained a bit of their advantage. This time, Heart of War was a lot smarter. He directed people to attack the wall and the Ruling Sword players who were standing on it. At the same time, he also had his own Chariots attack the remaining two of Ruling Sword.
Since the Ruling Sword Chariots were barely standing, it was only natural that they didn’t last long.
In the end, the Gangnam Royals had three Chariots remaining while Ruling Sword had none. Heart of War’s expression finally brightened up.


Three Chariots wasn’t a lot, but Ruling Sword didn’t have the system archers and the range of player skills wasn’t as far as Chariots. It seemed as if the war had shifted to one side, where the Gangnam Royals could attack but Ruling Sword had no way of retaliating.
Seeing the proud expression on Heart of War’s face, the two analysts really wanted to remind him that trouble was quickly approaching.
From the perspective of the audience, there was a section of the wall near the middle lane that couldn’t be attacked. A giant stone rolled slowly from the section and revealed a hole that was only just big enough for one player to pass through.
Then, one by one, Ruling Sword players started to flood out from it.
There was a total around seventy!
Then, Lu Li brought his men and headed straight ahead on the middle lane. It seemed like he no longer wanted to sit back on the walls anymore.
He was very confident in the players that he had left behind to defend. Although there were only five players that he had left behind, this group included Sesame Rice Ball, who already opened up a gate and could transport people back instantly anytime. There were also five Dryad sisters that were assisting them. They could summon Keepers of the Grove at anytime as well, but these support troops that Lu Li had borrowed from Remulos didn’t even have an opportunity to appear.
With 75 players, he still rushed straight ahead to fight the 80 players before them.
Not only did they need to take out the remaining Chariots, but they were also in high spirits because of how badly the Gangnam Royals had played. The Gangnam Royals were also led by Heart of War, who seemed more like a double agent over a proper commander. They really had nothing to worry about.
The mercenaries were truly strong. There were so many players in this game, so it was only natural for some powerful players to be hidden in the crowd.


Usually these kinds of players were unwilling to be tied down by anything and all they cared about was money. They just did what they were hired to do, and even if the mission failed, it wasn’t their responsibility. As such, they began to play in a slack way.

See that,
Lu Li said as he pointed at the Gangnam Royal players that were beating up the wall very slowly with their three Chariots.
Look at all the money that we’ve lost…


That’s not a lot of money. We’re earning more – around 20 thousand more…
Azure Sea Breeze trailed off, lost by Lu Li’s delusion.

You shut up. Isn’t it better to earn profit without making any losses at all? You’ve got no clue how expensive resources are since you’re not managing the guild. Isn’t it better to earn more?
Lu Li shot back feistily.

You’re right, you’re totally right.

Azure Sea Breeze kept nodding his head. On the inside, he couldn’t help but laugh at how cheap Lu Li was.

Hmph, let’s start over again. So, we’ve lost so much profit, and now’s the chance for us to make it back. Do you all see that. What those people are wearing is loot for us. Take them down and take their gear. Once you pick it up, it’s yours to take. No need to give it back to the guild. Let’s all share this profit together…


What? I’m in!
Azure Sea Breeze exclaimed as he waved his shield and charged in headfirst.
The others shouted and followed behind, instantly charging into the formation of the Gangnam Royals. Skills rained down around the area like fireworks.
Although they fooled around at times, they never fooled around when things became serious. The first thing that everyone focused on were the three battle Chariots, even though it would probably take at least half an hour for these damaged Chariots to take down their walls.
