Chapter 328: Two Large Banners

Chapter 328: Two Large Banners

On the spacious top floor were the lonely siblings, Florate and Hibiscus.

Brother

Seeing how worn out her brother was, Florate was starting to worry about him. She knew clearly that her brother was the one bearing the heaviest burden.

Even though a hundred-man squad of coordinated snipers targeted him every time he showed up, he still took off for battle twenty-seven times. He would sweep down with lightning speed to snipe out several players before the special squad chased him away like a dog. After recovering his Health at the Holy Ground, the cycle repeated itself over and over again.

Hibiscus was undoubtedly the one who killed the most enemies in this war so farso what? In a large-scale war of tens of thousands of players, what could he achieve with only Flower Plucking Finger? He had tried launching beheading assaults several times, but the two enemy commanders, the silver-haired man and man in a red robe, were well protected. The former was also particularly strong; those eyes that were shut all the time snapped open like an unsheathed sword every time he got close.

The element of surprise was critical for surprise attacks and beheading assaults to work. As such, Hibiscus no longer tried it after several attempts.

Florate mustered her courage, gritted her teeth, then finally said, Brother, maybe we should seek aid.

Hibiscus opened his weary eyes and smiled. Seek aid? From who? Chau Yus mad at us, so Empyreal Alliance is out of the question. That leaves Dragon Alliance and Underworld Do you really think they will answer our call for help?

Florate shook her head. With a common enemy, I think

Say no more. Hibiscus put on a determined look. Although I dont think they will come to our aid, asking them for help is something I cannot do, for my own sake that is.

Florate gave up with her persuasion; no one knew Hibiscus better than she did. Her brother was powerful in battle and had great authority, but he also cared a lot about reputation. It was impossible for him to admit defeat and request aid because itd make him lose face.

Myriad Blooms morale fell to a historic low. Those from the West had trampled over their pride. The Western players had an average level of 40, not to mention that number was a minimum entry requirement to the Fire Palace. It was even rumoured that the requirement would be raised to Level 42 in a month or two. The Fire Palaces synchronised casting also showed how well-trained they were.

Number-wise, the West also had an absolute advantage. While there existed players that were independent of Olympus in the West, they were the extreme minority. Over ninety per cent of combat players were within the ranks of Olympus. Just three of the twelve chambers and the Fire Palace were enough to form an army of 100,000.

In short, the East came up short in both individual strength and numbers.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

As Chau Yu had commented, Hibiscus was a great fighter but was far from a decent general. He didnt cheer up his players even when their morale plummeted.

While the players trapped in the Holy Ground werent his fellow alliance members, they were of the Eastern server after all, and that alone meant they were in the same boat. The Wests arrogance of belittling him and the East had touched a red line of his.

A bit difficult, Drako Yau said. Winning the battle wasnt the most challenging part; annihilating the enemy was.

I have my plans. Just go and fight the strongest player on their side.

Chau Yu had no intention of letting Mask get involved in the tactical department. This was his, and only his, duty.

Sir, what should we do? Kalex asked Musashi, his commander on paper, despite having made a decision already. It would be impudent of him to override his senior directly.

You know it, Im only good at fighting. Whats your take?

Musashi was a wild person, but not wild enough to disregard his weaknesses. He was more than willing to listen to his subordinates opinions.

Thank god he doesnt plan on fighting a lost battle, Kalex thought as he felt a wave of relief.

I suggest retreating for now. Our current forces are enough to take on those within the Holy Ground, but theyve clearly asked for reinforcements. Itll be a stretch for us to fight on two ends. More importantly, itd be pointless. Its an all-or-nothing battle for them, while for us, were only here to deliver a message. We can request more troops from the Divine King later and besiege them again later.

Musashi nodded. Although this went against his beliefs in Bushido, he was now representing Olympus instead of himself.

Well do just that. Pass down the order, use Return-to-City Scrolls.

But sir, Kalex continued, using the scrolls here is more troublesome than it usually is. The first condition is to be out of combat. The scroll will take effect immediately when out of combat on our server, but theres a one-minute delay here in the Warring Wastelands. If the enemy commander isnt a moron, they wont let us retreat with the scrolls so easily.

That much is obvious. What youre trying to say is Musashis eyes lit up. He could roughly guess what Kalex was hinting at.
