Jack's guild members gathered and formed a defensive formation behind him, defending the gate entrance. Amongst them, Silverwing ran past him and nodded at him. Jack nodded back. He also saw quite a number of orcs. He saw Life Runner amongst them, who was running close to him. Jack called after him.
"You brought quite some orcs into our guild, that was amazing," Jack commented as he came over.
"They didn't at first, but when I tell them there is a guild war coming, that lot became very interested. They had a pretty boring life in Verremor after all. They are the kind that is very into this kind of guild war things in past games."
"Wow, they must click pretty well with The Man's group then."
"Actually, they had already signed up to become part of Man of Solidarity gang," Life Runner said.
"Hehe, it's good that everyone gets along. Okay, head back there. Leave everything to me," Jack said.
Life Runner was about to say 'are you sure?' but decided against it. He had seen how Jack fought with the Outlaws at the hideout and how he decimated the crowd of players just now, so he just ran to where everyone had gathered.
John sent a message in the guild chat. "okay, everyone. Your job now is just to play total defense at one spot. Leave all the offense to Jack."
Everyone had the same questioning thought, 'who the hell is Jack?'
'I know that guy will spread my real name sooner or later,' Jack thought. Apparently, it was sooner.
But he didn't really care. In past games, it was indeed important to hide one's real identity. Because you never knew if you offended someone petty in the games and the fellow tried to take revenge on you in real life.
In this game world, however, there was no real or secret identity. You lived your character here. So the current you were the real identity. Storm Wind or Jack, made no difference if others found out.
As his friends and guildmates formed a barricade around the gate entrance behind him, Jack walked over to the coalition forces who were also coming after no longer barred at the chokepoints.
"Don't advance too far. If things go out of hand, you can still retreat to where the archers and mages can support you with range attacks," he received John's message. He stopped going forward after receiving that message. All the trained Bandit archers took position above the wall to gain the high ground. The ranged players soon follow suit. Leaving only the melee to guard the doorless entrance.
The coalition force was approaching but didn't rush over. After witnessing Lightning God Barrage, none of them dared to be careless and rushed forward.
The three coalition leaders, Scarface, Manager Steelhand, and Queen Magenta were walking together.
"Any of you still have high-level magic scrolls?" Scarface asked.
"No. We have used them all on those NPC soldiers they trained," Manager Steelhand answered.
"Us too. The price of that magic scrolls is too expensive now. We can't afford too many of them," Queen Magenta said.
When they reached earshot, Jack greeted them. "I see you people had wisened up and wore Amulet of Rebirth."
Scarface replied, "and I see that you are still as self-assured as before, you are not wearing one."
"I did win the last time, didn't I?"
"Such arrogance! We will make you eat those words!" Queen Magenta hissed.
"You know, if this keeps going on. Most of your members will soon find the Amulet of Rebirth to be too expensive to buy," Jack continued to taunt.
"What were those lightning balls just now? Were they from a magic scroll?" Scarface asked.
"No, they are from a skill," Jack answered.
"What's the cooldown?"
"One minute."
Queen Magenta immediately spat, "you think us children? If that really is a skill, no way that it only has a one-minute cooldown!"
"Then you shouldn't have asked the question. You are currently my enemies. Do you suppose I will tell you everything?"
"My bad, then," Scarface said.
"If you still treat the confrontation this time as the same as last time, you will be sorely…" Manager Steelhand didn't finish his sentence as at this time, Jack had already made a move. Jack shot Mana Bullet at him and then cast Magic Bolts.
Manager Steelhand was vexed. Jack was the one that had initiated the conversation, yet he had also so rudely attacked first when the conversation was not yet over.
Jack rushed over as his magic staff formed a spell formation, four runes at the same time. The speed by which Jack cast his spells was outlandish as he did it by forming all the runes at the same time. Every spell was thrown out in succession one after another. Myriad Ensnaring Chains, Arcane Turbulence, Magic Bind. The last was Barrier before he stored his magic staff and replaced it with Whirlwind Falchion.
The three coalition leaders moved back as their subordinates went up to meet Jack. Scarface shouted out his command, "There is no need to focus on him, just keep him busy. Prioritize breaking into the headquarters! Our objective remains the same."
The coalition force advanced from Jack's two sides. No way Jack alone could halt the tide of so many people advancing at the same time. But his guildmates were already ready by the gate entrance. The range classes sent their attacks from up the wall while the melee formed several rows of barricades to stop the coalition's advance. The trained Squires formed the bulk of the meatshield.
Before this, John didn't focus all the defense in one place because this gate entrance was the last line of defense. If the enemy managed to break through, there was no more way to hold the tide. If the enemy had an organized offense, sooner or later they would be worn down. He had chosen to use multiple chokepoints to break the enemies up and prevent them from having a centralized offensive movement.
Now, he had proceeded with the last phase of his defensive plan ahead of time because he no longer worried about the enemy's organized offense. With Jack in the middle of the enemy's formation, they won't be able to get organized. Hence, he could focus his force to form an impenetrable defense while the enemy was stricken by the urgency to break through since they didn't want to spend too long a time dealing with Jack.
The advancing team that was sent to hold Jack down consisted of all melees, Warriors and Knights. The Knights put their shields up and rushed up at him, while the Warriors followed closely behind, planning to pin Jack down once the Knights made contact.
Jack met them head-on. He crossed his two arms in front of him. When the knights were closed enough, both his arms slashed diagonally away from each other. Thick sword-light was formed from the slash of each sword, creating a glaring X-pattern. These sword lights engulfed the group of Knights, causing damage around 1600 to each of them.
Jack's level 4 Cross Slash delivered even slightly higher damage than the single ball of Lightning God Barrage, at a 310% damage boost. But because his attack was considered physical, the Knight's defense was more effective against this Cross Slash than the lightning attack. Still, 1600 damage was already above the threshold that these Knights' HP could endure. The front row of the knights all dropped dead on the ground with this first contact, leaving the Warriors behind with flabbergasted expressions.
"F*ck me! Why the hell is he becoming even more unreasonable than before? Did he level up all his weapons and equipment to the limit? How does he even get the resources to do that?" Manager Steelhand uttered after seeing the scene. Even he as the acting leader of the guild could only afford to upgrade all his equipment to level 33 at this time. He still has to share the ores for upgrading the other upper echelons' equipment, after all.
What Manager Steelhand didn't expect was apart from Jack having upgraded all his equipment to his current limit, Jack also had several Super Rare equipment on him. With Jack's dual-class attribute already outclassing them, his superiority in equipment tipped the scale even further.
"He is an elite class already," Scarface said with a grim expression.
"Elite class? Which one?" Manager Steelhand asked.
"Blade Dancer," it was someone from behind them who answered. They turned back and saw Warpath. "That just now was the first skill from Blade Dancer class," he added.
Warpath was a dual sword wielder after all. The coalition had gathered substantial information on the Elite classes from the Library. Warpath had studied the information and he himself also had the target of becoming a Blade Dancer. In fact, if this battle to claim Everlasting Heavenly Legends' guild headquarters had not happened, he would have gone to take the Blade Dancer trial today, since he had just reached level 30 last night. But his duty to the guild compelled him to join this battle and to put that elite class trial on hold.
Seeing his nemesis had become the class that he had targeted, irked him to no end. "I will deal with him," Warpath exclaimed as he rushed towards Jack, two longswords on both his hands.
