911 Chapter 525: The Focus of All Eyes [1/3]
“Eight legions… Richard didn’t even climb up the city wall.”
In the capital of Ell, the members of the Blazing Flame Guild who watched the battle through the live stream have strange expressions on their faces.
They knew that with Qingqiu’s support, the Lion City’s defense would be mighty.
...However, they did not expect it to be so overwhelming.
That was eight legions!
That was a death of a level 19 hero commander with a potential as high as A-rank and a level one step away from transcendence.
Such force of attacking alone could destroy cities before a war could start.
A strong sense of grievance rose in their hearts.
Although everyone knew that the Mountain Duke’s attack was just a test, the real troop had yet to arrive.
“But he couldn’t be so cowardly, right?”
“Leader, the discussion forums hyped about this war.
“Do we need to lower the temperature?”
The Blazing Flame Guild regarded this confrontation with Qingqiu as a paramount concern.
They had to win this war to step on this legendary figure and ascend to the throne.
The heated discussion at this moment had far exceeded their initial expectations.
It would be a heavy blow to the Blazing Flame Guild at a considerable disadvantage.
They wouldn’t have such thoughts if it were in the beginning, even if Qing Qiu had transcendents. What kind of existence was the Blazing Flame Guild? Thousands of high-level lords led a troop of a million.
Moreover, there was Raging Blood Duke, the ruler of the Ell Kingdom, who had a horde of top-tier soldiers to rely on.
How could such power lose to a player?
However, Qingqiu’s merciless slap sent their pride flying in the first battle.
Qingqiu’s display of his subordinate’s methods reminded them why the other party was a legend, a king recognized by all players.
Other emotions would naturally arise in the guild leader’s heart.
He was in his early forties, and his forum ID was Eternal Flame. He was the guild leader of the Blazing Flame Guild. He turned to look at his companions beside him.
His eyes were cold.
“We’ve already reached this level. There’s no room for regrets.
“Don’t cherish yourself if you want to do great things.”
He had to push out the chips he had bet without hesitation. That was his style of doing things.
The reason why the Blazing Flame Guild could grow to its current height was directly related to his methods.
“Continue to follow the plan. We couldn’t lose to Qingqiu, no matter how strong he was.
“So what if he’s Qingqiu? None of the enemies of our Blazing Flame Guild missed death in the fire!
“Send people to increase the momentum and make this battle even more popular!
“We must show our strongest side.”
The echelons couldn’t help but hesitate.
“But if our attack fails…”
“The other party was Qingqiu.”
The outcome of the first battle already showed that the top-tier mission was still far ahead of all the players.
Could they win if they bet all their chips on it?
“Even if we fail, we must let everyone know the strength of the Blazing Flame Guild!”
The guild leader’s expression was unquestionable.
“We have zero possibility of us losing this war… We still have that trump card!”
Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard this.
“That trump card… Are we going to use it here? Leader, that is the only connection to the Fire Elemental Plane!”
“That’s right, Leader. One can only summon Fire Elemental Lord once. Isn’t that too much investment if we used it here?”
The guild leader’s gaze was stern.
“We could deal with that transcendent sooner or later as long as we can collect more lava hearts.
“We are believers of the god of fire. We are naturally close to the fire. Connecting to the Fire Elemental Plane isn’t as difficult as you think.”
They immediately fell silent when the others heard this. The guild leader looked at the other party’s determined gaze. They looked at each other afterward and sighed.
The Fire Elemental Lord was someone the guild leader had only gotten to know after he completed a series of quests. He couldn’t make the decision.
The guild leader looked at their expressions. He said, “Our goal this time is to make the reputation of the Blazing Flame Guild known throughout the world. Only the strong can show off their abilities and attract more followers.
“Although the Fire Elemental Lord is powerful, he is not our foundation. We can grow stronger if more lord players join us. We have to be clear about our priorities. If we can grow the Blazing Flame Guild with just one summoning opportunity, then the value of this is hard to exchange for!”
He paused for a moment after he said that. Then he continued.
“This time, we’re going to show all our strength to attract more players to join.”
“Moreover, even if we fail, it’s not because we’re too weak, but because Qingqiu is too strong… Isn’t the other party strong to begin with?”
“For us, as long as the power we display is shocking enough, we won’t suffer too much loss even if we fail.”
“After all, Qingqiu had defeated us.”
These words immediately perked up the others.
That’s right, the other party. They were only advertising this time to attract more people to join the Blazing Flames Guild.
Defeating Qing Qiu was the best way. Displaying enough power would achieve the desired effect if failure was unavoidable. However, it would not be as shocking, and the loss would be enormous.
But overall, if this continued, whether the Blazing Flame Guild won or lost, it would be within an acceptable range.
“Leader, you have great foresight!”
The Blazing Flame Guild’s members were stunned after everyone had gone down to discuss the display of the Blazing Flame Guild’s strength in this war.
