118: The terrifyingly powerful bull!

"White Emperor is here? Since when?"

Overlord Savage Bull immediately stood up and shouted in disbelief.

"Just half a minute ago. Our guards at the foot of the mountain were insta-killed, and he's already halfway up the mountain now."

The guild member delivering the message was drenched in sweat; as soon as he discovered it, he rushed to report to the summit.

Overlord Savage Bull opened the guild battle group panel to check the casualty information and found that of the 5,000-man battle group he led, several hundred avatars had already turned gray, indicating they were dead and waiting for resurrection.

"The killer's name is hidden. How can you be sure it's White Emperor?"

Because Lin Yue's name was obscured by the heavenly secret mirror, Overlord Savage Bull still harbored a sliver of hope. Could it be another guild? He couldn't be so unlucky as to run into White Emperor, could he?

"Legion Commander Savage Bull, vice commander Fire, although the other party's information is hidden, he came alone, and someone saw his weapon. It is indeed White Emperor beyond a doubt."

Alone, plus his signature weapon—once those words were spoken, Savage Bull and Fire had no choice but to believe it really was White Emperor.

"What do we do now?"

Overlord Savage Bull immediately lost his temper; the memory of being slaughtered by White Emperor during the last world boss battle was still fresh in his mind.

Thinking about it, he had already been killed twice by White Emperor: the first time in the Novice Village and the second time at the world boss battlefield.

Could there really be a third time?

"First, notify the battle groups in the other main cities. As for the Young Lord's side, I'll speak to him personally."

Tyrant Fire pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"Then what about us here?"

Watching Tyrant Fire constantly sending messages in the guild group, Overlord Savage Bull was now in a state where his Six Gods were without a master, unsure of how to respond.

"I think you've been scared witless by White Emperor. The last world boss battle was in the open, but this time we hold the high ground. What are you panicking for?"

Tyrant Fire's words jolted Overlord Savage Bull awake.

That's right! Last time there was nowhere to hide, but this time they had a stronghold, gates to hold him back, and arrow towers for defense.

With all sorts of defensive structures, there was really no need to be so flustered.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to the scene immediately."

Overlord Savage Bull seemed to gain some confidence. If he could kill White Emperor while holding the geographic advantage this time, he would not only get his revenge but also receive a reward from the Young Lord.

Tyrant Fire nodded and gathered all the elite players at the summit, heading down in a grand procession to reinforce the stronghold gate halfway down the mountain.

Since Overlord Invincible had poured a lot of money into it this time, the guild members' strength was twice what it had been during the world boss event.

Furthermore, their numbers were swelling rapidly; they now had four battle groups of five thousand people each. They were no longer the same as before.

Even if White Emperor came, he would likely have to pay a heavy price.

Xuanwu City, Dingjun Mountain Farming Spot.

The battle group personally commanded by Overlord Invincible was working hard to farm exploit points, but as Tyrant Fire's message about White Emperor's attack reached the guild, it caused quite a stir.

"Young Lord, White Emperor is already at Black Wind Mountain in Vermilion Bird City. Should we take some countermeasures?"

A player named Overlord Divine Light approached Overlord Invincible.

After Overlord Divine Bow left, Overlord Divine Light successfully succeeded him, and was now one of the guild's middle management.

"Don't panic. I'm fully prepared this time. First, I've stationed scouts on the mandatory paths to the Farming Spots in every main city. Even if the legion at Black Wind Mountain fails, if White Emperor tries to head to other Farming Spots, he will definitely be spotted."

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we reappear. The Farming Spots in each main city are dozens of kilometers apart. No matter how badass White Emperor is, he can't possibly use Instant Movement everywhere. He'll be led around in circles by us and won't even be able to touch the other legions."

Overlord Invincible was clearly much more confident. This kind of guerrilla tactic would be easy to use against a single person.

"But Young Lord, if we do that, the legion at Black Wind Mountain will be in trouble. White Emperor will surely fixate on Savage Bull and the others and won't let them off easily."

To farm exploit points quickly, they had bound their Resurrection Point at Black Wind Mountain. If White Emperor stayed there and refused to leave, Overlord Savage Bull and his men would be in a miserable state.

Overlord Divine Light's words made sense; it was indeed a possibility. After all, White Emperor rarely showed himself, and his style of doing things was still a mystery.

"If that really happens, then we'll just have to let Savage Bull and the others suffer. We'll sacrifice the pawns to save the king."

Overlord Invincible looked thoughtful as he analyzed calmly.

Compared to all four battle groups suffering losses, having only one group take the hit was more acceptable. At least the guild's main strength would be preserved and not collapse all at once.

Although Overlord Invincible didn't think White Emperor could currently crush the Overlord Guild, whose strength had increased significantly, it was always better to be cautious.

White Emperor could afford to lose; he couldn't.

Hearing the Young Lord's words, Overlord Divine Light could only look regretful. He was on good terms with Savage Bull, but this time, there was nothing he could do to help.

Halfway up Black Wind Mountain.

Savage Bull and Tyrant Fire arrived at the stronghold gate with two thousand elites. The carnage was even more intense than they had imagined.

"Reinforcements are here! Ranged players, open Fire with everything you've got! Tanks, hold the line!"

In the combat area above the stronghold gate, a captain was commanding the battle. All the captains ranked higher than him had already died in battle, so he was currently the highest-ranking officer at the mountainside.

Overlord Savage Bull and Tyrant Fire hurried up the gate to check. What they saw gave them a fright.

In the less than half a minute it took them to run from the summit to the mountainside, half of the three thousand Advanced players stationed at the stronghold gate had already been lost.

The ground was covered with corpses that hadn't despawned yet, and the bodies that had fallen below the gate were piled over three meters high. The dense sight of it made one's skin crawl.

About ten meters below the main stronghold gate, Savage Bull saw Lin Yue's figure.

He said nothing. The legendary staff in his hand glowed with brilliant light, and with every wave of his hand, he reaped the lives of Overlord Guild members like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Rumble!

A thunderclap exploded beside Overlord Savage Bull, and a class-Advanced Tank Warrior next to him was instantly blasted to smithereens.

Seeing the damage reaching over 60,000 points, Overlord Savage Bull's face turned pale.

"How is this possible? How can the damage be so high?!"

The familiar feeling of fear resurfaced, and the small amount of fighting spirit he had managed to muster was instantly crushed. Overlord Savage Bull looked in terror at White Emperor nearby, only to see White Emperor flash a meaningful smile and make a throat-slitting gesture.

This terrified Overlord Savage Bull so much that he quickly ducked down, not daring to expose himself to the other's line of sight.

"Commander Savage Bull, the warriors are almost all dead! Hurry and arrange for new warriors to move up!"

The squad leader shouted urgently, but Overlord Savage Bull was already scared witless.

Endless fear enveloped him, and a thought couldn't help but pop into his head.

Is there really any point in continuing to send warriors up?
