“Overthrow Bloody Years?”
The Bai Yue Ling in her arms trembled violently, her delicate body rubbing slightly due to being pressed too tightly. She gritted her teeth, letting out a low, muffled groan. This Wine Miss was the girl who had chased her all the way downstairs at her home earlier.
Everyone who had been about to leave paused slightly. Huddled inside the armor, hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Bai Yue Ling recognized it too.
‘Not only chasing me in real life, but you’ve chased me all the way to the Royal Capital in the game too…’
However, Wine Miss didn’t see Bai Yue Ling’s figure. She said in confusion, “That’s strange, where is the Priest Heroine?” She stood on tiptoe, curiously peering behind the group.
“Speak,” Ying Ye said, crossing her arms, her expression blank.
“Ah—!” Lie Lie covered her head and complained, “Ying Ye, why did you hit me?”
Lie Lie raised her hand again. “You can tell me too, she’s also my—”
“My wife went to the Arena early. If you have something to say, tell me,” Ying Ye coldly interrupted.
Wine Miss said with a smile, “The Priest Heroine is indeed very popular. But our plan doesn’t really need her. We just need her to stall Blood Rain in the Arena.”
Ying Ye slightly frowned. “So what exactly do you guys want to do?”
Wine Miss said mysteriously, “Let’s go inside to talk.”
***
After she finished speaking, the nineteen people behind her swarmed into the courtyard.
Seeing Silver Tooth still walking away, Wine Miss said, “Miss Silver Tooth, don’t you plan to stay and hear our plan?”
“Sorry, I have more important matters. I must excuse myself,” Silver Tooth said coldly, her steps unhurried, letting Bai Yue Ling jostle in her embrace as she left without looking back.
“Does Miss Silver Tooth have something to do?” Wine Miss asked, puzzled. “According to our investigation, she is an important combatant for us.”
Ying Ye stared at her warily. “Why do you seem to know so much about us? You even managed to find this courtyard precisely. You definitely investigated us in advance, didn’t you?”
“Of course,” Wine Miss gave a slight bow to the group. “Before cooperating, we must investigate our potential partners. Let me reintroduce myself. I am the vice president of the Toast and Sing Guild, Wine Miss. My purpose in coming to the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Wei is, entrusted by our guild master, to develop a ‘branch guild’ for our Toast and Sing.”
Ying Ye asked, “But the guild entrenched in the Royal Capital is Bloody Years. So you plan to take them out and seize their position?”
Wine Miss nodded with a smile. “As expected of the famous Assassin God in the online gaming world, you understood instantly.”
Ying Ye frowned. “But Bloody Years has a total of one thousand members in the Royal Capital. Right now, in the morning, at least five hundred are online. How many people did Toast and Sing bring?”
“The guild master only temporarily allocated one hundred people to me.”
“Only one hundred? How do you plan to fight?”
“I mean, our Toast and Sing only has one hundred people, but that doesn’t mean the ‘allied forces’ only have one hundred in total.” Wine Miss pointed at the dozen or so people behind her. “These are the guild masters of various guilds within the Royal Capital. Everyone has long been dissatisfied, having suffered under the oppression of Bloody Years.”
Ying Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. “Introductions?”
“I’ll introduce myself first, meow~ I am ‘Write a Diary’. Our guild currently has fifty catgirls online, meow!” A loli catgirl complained unhappily. “Those guys from Bloody Years, they’ve already monopolized large leveling areas, yet they still unreasonably snatch territory from us small guilds. Everyone has long been fed up with them, meow!”
“I am ‘White Frost’. Our guild currently has eighty people online,” a white-haired girl holding a magic wand said angrily. “My friend just accidentally bumped into a Bloody Years member on the road, and they cruelly chased and killed her, dropping her by ten levels. It made my friend too scared to log in for three days. It’s utterly despicable!”
“I am ‘Seven Nights’. I once received care from the Priest Heroine in the Beginner Village. I am now the master of a hundred-person guild,” a girl wearing a red bow said indignantly. “Those guys from Bloody Years actually monopolized all the merchant NPCs in the Royal Capital, maliciously raising prices, leaving everyone with nowhere to trade. It’s simply too much!”
Most of the nineteen people brought by Wine Miss were guild masters of various small guilds within the Royal Capital. Their common point was that they had all suffered oppression from Bloody Years and were eager for revenge.
And now, Wine Miss had given them an opportunity, gathering them together to formally begin the plan to overthrow Bloody Years.
“Gathered together, we have over six hundred people. We can definitely go toe-to-toe with Bloody Years,” Wine Miss said happily with a smile. “How about it? Miss Ying Ye, join us! After overthrowing Bloody Years, the Royal Capital will be under our collective control.”
Ying Ye still shook her head. “Six hundred people isn’t enough. Bloody Years’ PK atmosphere is too intense. Whether it’s duels or group battles, your ragtag group is no match for them.”
“I understand that too, of course, which is why I have a plan.” Wine Miss took out a map of the Royal Capital and spread it on the ground.
“According to our intelligence, Bloody Years currently has about two hundred members leveling outside the city, one hundred members outside the Arena preparing to cheer for Blood Rain, and the remaining two hundred members are within the Royal Capital, hunting down a player named ‘Gentle Pluck’.”
Hearing this, Lie Lie beside her whispered, “That ‘Gentle Pluck’… is that Jucheng from the group chat?”
Wine Miss explained while drawing circles on the map. “They are divided into ten squads patrolling various parts of the Royal Capital, twenty people per squad. We can use our intelligence advantage to ambush them, take them down a level first, and seize the initiative.”
Most players haven’t changed classes yet, so the level advantage is especially crucial.
Ying Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. “And then?”
“Then, most players would resurrect at the Square in the center of the Royal Capital. But Bloody Years is different. Blood Rain bought an empty lot within the Royal Capital specifically as the guild’s collective stronghold.”
Wine Miss said excitedly, “We will have a large number of archers and mages ambush near the stronghold in advance. Once the Bloody Years members resurrect, we immediately use large-scale AOE skills to clear the field, taking them down another level! This way, we create a two-level gap. Even if our people aren’t good at PK, the advantage will already be significant.”
“There will be escapees. What if they run outside the city to report?” Ying Ye asked.
“Of course, we’ll dispatch a portion of our forces to ambush near the city gates,” Wine Miss said with a mischievous smile. “By the way, all the people I brought are combinations of archers and mages. Against Bloody Years, who are mainly melee-focused PK maniacs, the advantage is significant.”
Ying Ye looked thoughtful, thinking that the Toast and Sing Guild had indeed come prepared. They not only scouted the Royal Capital’s terrain but also contacted all the small guild masters, even considering class counters.
Of course, the premise for all of this was Blood Rain not being present.
If Little White could stall Blood Rain, then this might actually work…
“One last question,” Ying Ye said solemnly. “Causing such a big commotion, the NPCs definitely won’t ignore it. Have you thought of a solution?”
Wine Miss, holding her chest wrapped in the bunny girl uniform, said with a beaming smile, “I’ve already reported it in advance to Her Highness, the First Princess Hui Lian. She fully supports our actions, saying she ‘has long been displeased with this kind of guild that promotes violence,’ and stated she would have the guards evacuate civilians in advance to cooperate with our operation.”
“Not only that, Her Highness, the Third Princess Wei Ji, also expressed her full support for us and said she would provide us with various equipment and items.”
“So… everyone can proceed boldly and without worry.”
