166: On the eve of the battle, the Overlord Guild made its move!
In the Fengyun Club office, Leng Wuyou received a text from Lin Yue.
"Overlord Invincible, oh, Overlord Invincible!"
"Of all the people you could provoke, you just had to provoke the White Emperor."
"Well, look at you now. Your entire group is going down!"
Leng Wuyou sighed with emotion and quickly called his secretary over.
"The moment the stock market opens tomorrow, dump all our shares immediately."
"Don't keep a single cent!"
"Oh, and all that dirt I had you investigate? Release all of it as well."
"This time, I want to ensure the Ba Tian Group never sees the light of day again!"
The secretary hesitated for a moment before voicing her concerns.
"Young Master Leng, Overlord Guild is so well-prepared this time. Could there be any accidents?"
"I've looked at the content they posted. If the White Emperor doesn't participate, even our Feng Yun Guild wouldn't be a match for the current Overlord Guild!"
Leng Wuyou waved his hand dismissively.
"You don't need to worry about those things. Since the White Emperor is doing this, he must be fully prepared."
"Besides, this is already a guaranteed profit. Just complete the quest I gave you and wait to help me count the money!"
The secretary took her orders and hurried out.
"To dare to make a move against such a lineup, just how strong has White Jade Capital become?"
Leng Wuyou was clear about White Jade Capital's strength; even without the White Emperor, they were a top-tier guild in the game.
Although they could only be considered a second-rate guild, their overall strength was not inferior to the Top Ten Guilds.
This time, the Overlord Guild had gone to great lengths to bring their strength to an unprecedented height.
He knew that if the Feng Yun Guild went up against the Overlord Guild, the outcome would surely be tragic.
Unconsciously, Leng Wuyou's back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Fortunately, I met the White Emperor early and became an ally of White Jade Capital."
"If I had stood on the opposite side of the White Emperor, I probably wouldn't even know how I died."
Although he was the heir to a hundred-billion-dollar conglomerate that the Ba Tian Group couldn't compare to,
An heir was still just an heir. If he had offended the White Emperor, he estimated he would have been abandoned by the group by now.
After all, there had always been more than one candidate for the position of heir.
"Overlord Invincible, I have you to thank for being able to secure my position as heir now."
...Inside the game, at the White Jade Capital headquarters.
In a few hours, the Guild War would begin. Currently, many people in White Jade Capital were resting and building up their strength.
Their goal was to defeat the Overlord Guild in one fell swoop during the Guild War.
There were also some people in the game who were either grinding levels at Farming Spots or training their combat skills.
At one of White Jade Capital's Farming Spots, quite a few people were leveling up.
"Sigh, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the Guild War is here!"
"Yeah, just thinking about fighting the Overlord Guild tomorrow makes my hands itch."
"Right, I've been annoyed with the Overlord Guild for a long time. I have to give them a good beating tomorrow!"
Just as they were chatting while killing monsters, a voice suddenly interrupted them.
"However, you won't have that chance anymore!"
Hearing the voice, the several people immediately became alert and looked toward the source of the sound.
"Who's there? Get the hell out here!"
Instantly, they realized something was wrong.
Before they could react, a sharp blade had already approached and struck one of them.
Simultaneously, fireballs, lightning, arcane orbs, and arrows all flew toward them.
They were killed before they could even see what the attackers looked like.
-46,875
-17,954
-17,512
-89,455
...A series of damage numbers appeared above their heads, and the equipment they were wearing was also dropped.
At the White Jade Capital headquarters, a group of guild members who had been killed in the wilderness were gathering.
"Damn it, who has the balls to dare kill people from our White Jade Capital!"
Everyone checked the people who had killed them and found they all had things in common.
First, they had no guild; they were all solo players.
Second, their names were very random, and no relevant information could be found.
Third, every time they struck, they specifically targeted White Jade Capital's war participants, choosing mid-tier combatants and those who were alone.
Fourth, every time they made a move, it was always a group focusing fire for an instant kill, without a hint of hesitation.
"This is clearly targeting our White Jade Capital on purpose!"
Anyone who wasn't an idiot knew these people were hired specifically to act against White Jade Capital.
White Jade Capital's combat power wasn't weak, especially their high-end combat power, which was top-tier.
Since that was the case, the attackers used numbers to make up for damage.
As long as they didn't seek out White Jade Capital's top experts, this tactic was extremely effective.
Losing levels and dropping gear—the damage to a player was not small.
With so many people affected, it completely impacted the overall level of the entire team.
Especially during this critical period, if one dropped from Rank 40 to Rank 39, the gap would be even larger.
"Dammit! It must be those bastards from the Overlord Guild!"
So far, among White Jade Capital's opponents, the only one capable of doing this was the Overlord Guild.
Yun Ruoqing received the news and rushed over immediately.
"Before the Guild War, no one is to go out alone. We don't have evidence right now, so even if we know it's the Overlord Guild, there's nothing we can do."
"If we move against the Overlord Guild now, it'll instead become leverage for others, making them think we're afraid of the Overlord Guild."
"Dragon City Overlord, Ink Feather, you two lead teams to help those members who lost levels pull their Rank back up. Don't give them any more chances!"
"Understood!"
Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather saw the message and immediately came to lead the teams.
With more people grouped together, it would be harder for the opponent to act, especially with such top players present.
Unless the Overlord Guild made a move themselves, they likely wouldn't have any more opportunities.
At the Overlord Guild, Overlord Invincible had also received the news.
"You're saying they've grouped up?"
"Yes!"
In front of him, Tyrant Fire was reporting on White Jade Capital's movements.
Excellent, that saves us the trouble of looking for them one by one!
"Have those members who aren't participating in the Guild War go and steal their Farming Spots. It's best if White Jade Capital strikes first."
"Don't forget, our greatest advantage is our numbers!"
Overlord Invincible revealed a wicked smile. At this juncture, regardless of whether the action succeeded or failed, it was a blow to White Jade Capital.
"Yes, Young Lord!"
Inside a Farming Spot, Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather were leading the White Jade Capital members in grinding monsters.
Suddenly, Ink Feather keenly sensed danger and fired an arrow straight into the bushes.
-130,000
The fellow hiding in the bushes was also startled; he hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly, and the damage was so high!
But since they had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.
"Brothers, charge!"
In the blink of an eye, thousands of people appeared in the Farming Spot, quickly surrounding the White Jade Capital group.
"This time, you won't escape even if you had wings!"
Just as the leader was gloating, a mage riding on thunder suddenly appeared on the field.
"Oh? Really?"
