162: Each side employs its own methods in a battle of combat readiness!

While Lin Yue was clearing the Instance, the Overlord Guild also launched its operations.

They held a press conference, preparing to showcase the Overlord Guild's strength to everyone.

"White Emperor, no matter how strong you are, I'm afraid you'll be powerless to change the outcome this time!"

Overlord Invincible's eyes were bloodshot; it was clear he had put a lot of effort into this.

"Everything I've lost, I will surely reclaim twofold!"

At the Overlord Guild's offline press conference, Overlord Invincible straightened his appearance and walked into the venue with Tyrant Fire.

His appearance immediately caught the attention of the reporters.

But just as the reporters were about to move, Overlord Invincible stopped them.

"I know you all have many questions, but first, let me show you something!"

Overlord Invincible stepped onto the podium, and the staff quickly displayed the Overlord Guild's achievements from the past few days.

A ten-thousand-man Elite Team, every single one of whom had reached Rank 40.

And they were all wearing equipment that radiated a golden light.

Anyone who knew their stuff would know that these were currently the top-tier equipment in the game—gold legendary equipment.

Legendary Equipment that ordinary players dreamed of, the Overlord Guild's Elite Team actually had one piece per person!

This was terrifying; even among the other top ten guilds, there was no such formidable lineup.

This was not just a display of wealth, but also a demonstration of connections and channels.

The price the Ba Tian Group and the Overlord Guild had paid for this Guild War could well be imagined.

Not only that, but Overlord Invincible had also selected the elite of the elites from these ten thousand people.

They formed a High Combat Group, where each person had at least half of their gear as Legendary Equipment.

And this High Combat Group actually consisted of a full hundred people.

Many of them were well-known figures within the game.

Many people saw familiar names among them, names that also appeared on the leaderboard.

Furthermore, among these hundred people, ten were particularly eye-catching.

They were shimmering in gold from head to toe, with all twelve pieces of their equipment being gold legendary equipment.

With great equipment and high Ranks, they were all top-tier players.

These players' talents wouldn't be lacking either; each one had been meticulously handpicked by Overlord Invincible.

"Everyone, do you think White Jade Capital still has a chance of winning?"

The entire venue was silent; the reporters' hearts were in their throats.

As expected, the gap between ordinary players and the big shots was just that immense.

Who could usually see such a lineup? Purple Rare Equipment should be the norm.

"Since White Jade Capital has overestimated themselves and wants to challenge our Overlord Guild..."

"...then our Overlord Guild naturally won't be polite to them either!"

"Tomorrow's Guild War will have only one outcome, and that is our Overlord Guild..."

"...razing White Jade Capital to the ground within three hours!"

These words caused a massive stir, and the reporters below the stage immediately began to discuss fervently.

What did it mean to raze White Jade Capital in three hours!

A Guild War was not a typical team battle; there was a significant distance between the two camps.

It would take an ordinary player about ten minutes just to walk that distance, and that was in a straight line.

Once the battle began, there would certainly be clashes.

Combined with the guild's perimeter defenses, entering the opponent's guild was extremely difficult.

And even if you killed everyone on the enemy side, they would immediately respawn at their guild headquarters.

To achieve victory, one must destroy the enemy guild's Guild Token.

Attacking an enemy guild usually meant being intercepted by constantly respawning enemies.

Once you died near the opponent's guild, you would be sent directly back to your own guild.

Furthermore, any dropped equipment would remain on the spot, making it almost impossible to retrieve.

This period would be the opponent's best chance for a counterattack.

Even if White Jade Capital only had five thousand people, breaking through directly would not be a simple matter.

Overlord Invincible actually said he would raze White Jade Capital within three hours.

That meant the situation would be completely one-sided.

"Forget about White Jade Capital's five thousand people; even if it were everyone in White Jade Capital plus the White Emperor, they still wouldn't be a match for the current Overlord Guild!"

Overlord Invincible added.

Afterward, reporters continued to ask questions, and Overlord Invincible answered them one by one.

Currently, the Overlord Guild was ranked tenth on the guild rankings, but the strength they displayed far exceeded that Rank.

No guild could claim they could definitely defeat the current Overlord Guild.

Some even speculated that the Overlord Guild's true strength was already that of the number one guild in the game.

As soon as the press conference ended, it sparked heated discussions online.

Someone even started a poll, and currently, the majority of people supported the Overlord Guild.

At the entrance of the Land of Forging Instance, Lin Yue had already emerged from the ruins.

The Relic Guardian looked at Lin Yue in disbelief; the young man before him was actually so terrifying.

Not only had he defeated every monster in the Instance, but he had also obtained the hidden reward!

"What reward do you want to exchange for?"

The Relic Guardian unfolded a list, and various rewards appeared on it.

Lin Yue immediately found the Rank 40 gold legendary equipment sets; one set required twenty thousand heart of forging.

This number was enormous for ordinary players, but for Lin Yue, it was only a small fraction.

Lin Yue directly submitted 1.8 million heart of forging to exchange for Rank 40 Legendary Equipment sets.

The Relic Guardian frowned, clearly not expecting Lin Yue to do this.

Normally, players would submit twenty thousand heart of forging to exchange for one set of Rank 40 gold legendary equipment.

This could only be exchanged once, and it required a lot of heart of forging, so usually, one could only get one.

In his previous life, someone entered the Instance much later and obtained a large amount of heart of forging.

He directly submitted five portions and ended up obtaining five sets of Rank 40 gold legendary equipment.

This time, Lin Yue wanted to exchange for forty sets, so he directly submitted 1.8 million.

The Relic Guardian was displeased, but still gave Lin Yue the reward.

However, he only gave Lin Yue eighty sets.

"One person can only exchange for this many at most!"

The Relic Guardian said in a heavy voice.

Eighty sets, that's about enough.

Thinking this, Lin Yue used the 200,000 heart of forging returned by the Relic Guardian along with the rest to exchange for gold legend individual pieces.

Lin Yue left the ruins and placed the equipment directly into the guild warehouse.

Fatty and Old Bai had been sent by Lin Yue to purchase equipment and weapons and had not yet returned.

Lin Yue had spent a fortune this time as well, estimating they could get about ten sets.

Lin Yue contacted Yun Ruoqing directly; such matters were always left to her.

"Guild Leader, what is it?"

"I just put some equipment into the guild warehouse. Distribute them properly!"

"Alright, Guild Leader!"

Yun Ruoqing opened the guild warehouse and was instantly stunned.

Inside were many pieces of gold legendary equipment, including quite a few sets. Yun Ruoqing quickly did a count.

How many?

Eighty sets!
