168: Ready? Guild Wars Begin!
White Jade Capital easily dealt with the Overlord Guild's ambush, and not another soul from the Overlord Guild was seen until the start of the Guild War.
Overlord Invincible sat in his chair, fuming with impotent rage; it would have been one thing if his actions had achieved something.
Now, he had lost the bait along with the fish; the Overlord Guild's losses this time were simply too great.
On average, even including those they had picked off earlier, the casualty ratio was five to one.
If this continued, the Overlord Guild might as well close its doors for good!
This matter didn't receive much attention, as everyone was busy preparing for the daytime Guild War.
"Hello everyone, I'm the streamer Xiao Jing, and today we've arrived at the scene of the Guild War."
"Next up is the first guild match in the Land of the Final End, a full live broadcast of the World's Number One Club, White Jade Capital, challenging the Overlord Guild!"
The screen shifted, and the perspective switched to an open clearing.
Thousands of people had already gathered here, forming a dense, dark mass.
The Overlord Guild, led by Overlord Invincible, and White Jade Capital, led by Yun Ruoqing, stood on opposite sides of the clearing.
"Five thousand against twenty thousand. Yun Ruoqing, do you want to admit defeat? Surrender now and lose half, and we'll call this Guild War a draw?"
Overlord Invincible said mockingly.
He was extremely confident in the Overlord Guild this time, more so than ever before.
"With this bunch of misfits of yours, you don't actually think you can beat us, do you?"
"If you're afraid of losing, we can leave a blanket for you so you can hide under the covers and cry tonight—just don't let anyone hear you!"
Yun Ruoqing maintained her cold expression, not taking Overlord Invincible seriously at all.
"Where's the White Emperor? Isn't he coming?"
Overlord Invincible looked around but saw no sign of the White Emperor.
"Our Guild Leader is busy with a myriad of affairs; why would he waste time on a small fry like you?"
"You'd better think carefully about how you're going to pay the Guild Leader those two billion. Don't even think about welshing on the debt when the time comes!"
Overlord Invincible's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly composed himself.
"The White Emperor sure is carefree. Then again, dragging along a bunch of dead weight, how could he possibly develop as fast as going solo?"
Overlord Invincible gave a light chuckle and walked toward his team.
Yun Ruoqing didn't care and simply sent the Guild War invitation.
After Overlord Invincible accepted the invitation, ripples spread across the sky.
Within the Void Realm, a battlefield was being constructed; both guilds were replicated directly into the battlefield in a one-to-one ratio.
Overlord Invincible led his twenty thousand men into the space first, with White Jade Capital following closely behind.
The rest were the spectating crowd and media streamers.
They sat in the spectator stands, following the progress of the Guild War in real-time.
Suddenly, among the participants from White Jade Capital, one person's ID caught the attention of some people.
Annihilator Divine Bow!
This couldn't help but remind people of the Overlord Divine Bow, who had been vanished for quite some time but was once quite the prominent figure.
But now, it was likely that not many people remembered him.
"The other guy was the Overlord Divine Bow, but he wants to annihilate the Overlord—the Annihilator Divine Bow."
"The Overlord Guild has a lot of unfamiliar IDs over here. Which great experts are they? Does anyone recognize them?"
"Holy crap, is this a Guild War? With a map this big, it really is like two cities going to war."
...Overlord Invincible was the first to strike, and as soon as he moved, he became the center of attention.
"Oh my god, is that gold legendary equipment they're wearing? Almost everyone has it; I haven't even seen a piece until now."
"Twenty thousand people, so that must be at least forty thousand pieces of gold legendary equipment. How much money would that cost?"
"They can't all be Level 40 gold legends; they're likely of various levels. After all, gold legendary equipment has high attribute bonuses."
"True, but even so, this is no small sum. At the very least, it must be worth several 'small goals'!"
If they relied solely on the pittance provided by the group, they naturally wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
Therefore, the Overlord Guild owed a lot of debt externally, all of which was charged to the Ba Tian Group.
Previously, just giving every member of the Elite Team a piece had already drained the Overlord Guild dry.
Overlord Invincible had sold a lot of stock just to barely fill this gap.
So, this was not just a Guild War for the Overlord Guild, but a war for the survival of the Ba Tian Group and a life-and-death struggle for Overlord Invincible.
Once they failed, they would lose everything.
"They're out! The people from White Jade Capital are coming out too!"
White Jade Capital deployed three thousand people, leaving two thousand to guard their city.
They didn't have any dazzling golden light on them; they were entirely decked out in Purple Rare Equipment.
"What's going on? Isn't this gap a bit too huge!"
Although they knew that equipment didn't represent everything, this double disadvantage in numbers and gear caused many people to lose faith in White Jade Capital.
Some who had originally supported White Jade Capital now began to back down.
"Damn, what's the deal? Is the White Emperor being stingy with money? You can still buy gold legendary equipment if you spend the cash!"
"I didn't expect the White Emperor Boss to be so cheap; I haven't seen a single piece of gold legendary equipment."
"Aren't there still two thousand people who haven't come out? Maybe they're in the back!"
This last sentence held no persuasive power at all in the face of the Overlord Guild's tens of thousands of pieces of gold legendary equipment. Even if those two thousand had some, it probably wouldn't be many... On the battlefield, Ink Feather was leading his team to the area they were assigned to defend.
Annihilator Divine Bow volunteered to take the lead.
Ink Feather naturally agreed; he also wanted to see just how strong the current Annihilator Divine Bow was.
This was a mountainous area, most suitable for setting an ambush.
The guild members scouting ahead reported that a troop was currently heading this way.
On the small mountain path, Overlord Savage Bull was leisurely strolling along.
His task this time wasn't heavy, and he had few men; while there wouldn't be much credit to be earned, there was also no burden.
They were just here to scout the way; the real main force was still behind them.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind came, striking him directly on the top of his head.
-77555
As this single arrow fell, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows flew from the sky.
"Enemy attack!"
Overlord Savage Bull shouted, hurriedly dodging and parrying the arrow attacks.
The originally loose formation instantly tightened as they all huddled together.
This was exactly what Annihilator Divine Bow wanted, and a flaming arrow shot toward them.
Overlord Savage Bull suddenly had an extremely familiar feeling and looked toward the direction the arrow had come from.
"You are... Overlord Divine Bow!"
Overlord Savage Bull recognized this old acquaintance at a glance; he hadn't expected the two of them to meet here.
"You actually joined White Jade Capital!"
Annihilator Divine Bow shook his head helplessly.
"It has come to this, and I don't want to say much more."
"Now that we serve different masters, it's only natural we meet as enemies."
"I've just joined White Jade Capital, so I'll have to let you be my first contribution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Annihilator Divine Bow shot Overlord Savage Bull right in the head.
