"You guys don't understand anything! Can't you see they're blocking the way at the entrance?!"
Fearless made a disdainful expression and said, "This is just Old Bull's friend. If he were a stranger, we would have rushed in by now. Either way, they are going to be in trouble, and ssing with him could save him a few deaths. I'm actually saving him; is there anyone as rciful as I am?"
"Uh..."
Seeing Fearless's explanation, the mbers of the Quan Zhen Sect were slightly taken aback, and they all gave him a thumbs-up in praise, saying, "Fearless is kind-hearted; we bow down to you."
"Of course!" Fearless shalessly replied, "A healer's heart, do you understand? As a clergyman, this quality of rcy is my most precious treasure."
"Damn..."
Seeing Fearless speak so boldly without sha, Wang Yu felt a headache coming on; if he hadn't been smart enough, he might have almost believed Fearless's nonsense.
At this mont, Dawn's First Ray responded, "It's all because of Hua Shao. Because of his ridiculous task, our entire guild is restless."
"Hua Shao?" Fearless tilted his head, revealing a puzzled expression.
Yang Nuo chid in, "He's called Hua Shao from the capital city; he's a hidden class Paladin, and he's a close buddy of this guy."
At this point, Yang Nuo couldn't help but shoot a fierce glare at Dawn's First Ray, leaving him looking confused.
Little did they know, many years ago, it was also because of Hua Shao's task that Dawn's First Ray and others chased Yang Nuo all over the city, and just monts ago, they had been mocking her about it. How could Yang Nuo have a good impression of Dawn's First Ray…
Won really hold grudges.
"Oh? What task?" Fearless asked curiously.
"Since you are friends of Old Bull, then you are my friends too, so I don't mind telling you", Dawn's First Ray said. "Wasn't a new expansion pack released today? A squad of angels from the Holy Church descended, and one of the archangels commandeered the church and issued a task to Hua Shao to ensure the safety of the Holy City within three days. As soon as we set up a blockade, you guys showed up."
"A blockade? You're locking down the city?" Wang Yu asked.
"Absolutely." Dawn's First Ray replied, "The archangel said no strangers are allowed in the city for three days, so the resurrection points, teleportation points, and city gates have all been sealed."
"I see!"
Wang Yu nodded lightly upon hearing this.
Fearless was indeed sharp; as soon as he saw Dawn's First Ray blocking the entrance, he guessed that this group was related to his task, and he didn't expect that his task was actually two-sided.
The old hermit had said that the Son of the Sacred Soul and the Lord of the Demonic Soul would both be in a weakened state upon their arrival and would need so ti to recover to their peak.
The archangel that Dawn's First Ray ntioned also tasked Hua Shao with protecting them for three days, which perfectly aligned.
Hua Shao, as a Paladin, was also a hidden class. It seed this two-sided task was actually a collision between two storyline quests.
There could only be one victor in the outco of a two-sided task, aning that in this storyline, only one person could advance.
The system was indeed quite ruthless; a storyline task could even have a collision like this, which was clearly a trap for hidden classes.
However, seeing that Hua Shao's storyline task was rely to guard for three days, Wang Yu felt quite frustrated.
Damn it! As a hidden class, why did he have to kill two god-level bosses in addition to colliding? This was so unfair…
As the saying goes, there are no filial sons beside a sickbed, and no brothers under a task; it essentially ans that friendship is irrelevant in the face of a task.
At the end of the day, a ga is just a ga; it's like playing mahjong. You can't let your friend win just because they are your friend, or if they are your boss, you can't just concede. What's the point of playing?
Wang Yu had been playing gas for so long and understood this principle. Even if Dawn's First Ray were in his position, he wouldn't voluntarily withdraw from this two-sided task, and Wang Yu naturally wouldn't give up the task just because they had t once.
"Uh..."
Thinking of this, Wang Yu was just about to lay his cards on the table with Dawn's First Ray.
But as he was about to speak, Fearless quickly interrupted, "Hey, you guys can't do that."
While saying this, Fearless spoke in the guild channel, "Old Bull, don't say anything!"
"Uh..." Seeing Fearless's ssage, Wang Yu had no choice but to close his mouth in resignation.
"Oh? Why does Boss Fearless say this?"
Seeing Fearless questioning his actions, Dawn's First Ray asked in confusion.
"Hehe!" Fearless replied lightly, "Your idea is good, but the way you guys are sealing the city won't actually stop people."
"No way!" Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure appeared on Dawn's First Ray's face.
This wealthy second-generation had no other flaws than being overly confident in his tactics; the idea of the lockdown was proposed by him. Fearless said it wouldn't stop people, and while Dawn's First Ray felt too embarrassed to confront Fearless directly, he was indeed quite unhappy inside.
He then said, "Our guild mbers may not be as strong as Old Bull, but they are all skilled players. Right now, our people are everywhere at the resurrection points and teleportation points in the Holy Light City. How can we not stop people?"
"Hmph!" Fearless scoffed, "You can only stop ordinary players. Do you think you can stop players who can climb walls?"
"This..."
As soon as Fearless said this, Dawn's First Ray was imdiately stunned.
Isn't that right? How did Wang Yu escape back then? Wasn't it because this guy could climb walls, leaving everyone helpless?
At this stage, most players with so skill would have a climbing skill for ergencies; while not many could climb walls, there were still quite a few.
"Could it really be that coincidental…" Dawn's First Ray still held onto a glimr of hope regarding his blockade.
"How could it not?" Fearless scoffed, "What kind of place is the Holy Light City? How could ordinary players co here to cause trouble? Climbing walls is just a small skill; it's not difficult at all."
"This..."
Fearless, being a master at deception, with just a few words, directly left Dawn's First Ray dumbfounded and unable to refute.
Seeing Dawn's First Ray at a loss for words, Fearless continued, "The longer the blockade, the more loopholes there will be; it's not just about sealing off a few checkpoints."
"As expected of Old Bull's friend!"
Although Fearless had no good intentions, what he said at this mont was not just empty talk; these were essential principles of strategy.
Dawn's First Ray, being soone who had studied tactics, could certainly hear the underlying logic. Seeing that Fearless could say such things, he imdiately recognized Fearless as a person with real skills, promptly putting away his arrogance and humbly asking, "So what should we do now?"
"Very simple!" Fearless waved his hand, pointing, "Close the blockade as much as possible, to a controllable range."
