Chapter 1784 1784: Divide and Conquer

"Illusion! It must be an illusion!"

On the other side, Donald was rubbing his eyes, staring at the score above his head, clearly in disbelief of this reality.

"Old Tang! Don't go to the mountains anymore, hurry to the city ruins!"

Just as Donald was at a loss, Feitian De sent a message.

As the guild leader, Feitian De was quite competent. Although he didn't know how the Quan Zhen Sect managed to wipe out three hundred people without taking any damage, the fact was undeniable.

From a numerical standpoint, it was indeed a bit exaggerated for eleven people to annihilate over three hundred, but it wasn't impossible.

The most likely scenario was that the Quan Zhen Sect had found some kind of strategic weapon on the battlefield or discovered some traps.

Regardless of how it happened, these guys indeed had the means to wipe out over three hundred people. The team Donald led was not stronger than Old Duck Mike's. Since Mike's team of over three hundred people had been obliterated in an instant, it was evident how powerful the enemy's output was. Even if they sent three hundred more, it would just add fuel to the fire.

Rather than sending Donald to his death, it would be better for everyone to gather together; more people mean greater power, and their chances of winning would be stronger as a group.

Moreover, the more powerful the weapon on the battlefield, the poorer its mobility, and traps were even less mobile. Weapons capable of killing three hundred people in an instant were likely fixed turrets or something similar, which could not be moved.

Thus, if the battlefield shrank, the Quan Zhen Sect would be forced to abandon their weapons. Without those terrifying weapons and traps, dealing with eleven people wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright! I'm on my way!"

Donald nodded, gave orders to his subordinates, turned around, and marched toward the city ruins, while Feitian De also ordered his men to return the same way.

On the battlefield, the forest, mountains, and city ruins were arranged in a triangular distribution, with the mountain location of the Quan Zhen Sect situated between the forest and the city ruins.

Feitian De's team had not left the city ruins for long. They hadn't gone far and would be back in no time, while Donald's group was still quite a distance away.

"Old Dog Fearless, don't betray me, or I'll kill you too."

On the side of the Quan Zhen Sect, Ming Du was still bantering with Fearless. The kid had finally managed to grab an MVP from Wang Yu, so he naturally didn't want to be taken down by Fearless just like that.

Fearless was getting truly impatient with Ming Du's teasing and waved his hand, saying, "Whoever drags him down, I'll give him ten thousand gold!"

"Smack!"

Wang Yu interjected from the side, slapping Ming Du aside.

Although Ming Du was bold enough to confront anyone, he had enough self-awareness in front of Wang Yu. The slap from Wang Yu silenced him, and he dared not speak further.

At this moment, Wang Yu continued from Ming Du's previous sentence, asking, "If we're not ambushing anymore, where are we going now?"

"Hehe!" Fearless chuckled, jumped onto the sled, and turned around, saying, "To the place we just landed! Everyone, get on the sled quickly! Otherwise, we'll miss the chance."

Seeing how urgent Fearless sounded, everyone didn't think too much and hurriedly jumped back onto the sled.

"Uh..."

As Wang Yu got on, he asked in confusion, "Why go back again?"

"Hehe." Fearless smiled and replied, "This question is simple. If we were inexplicably killed by someone, what would you do?"

"I'd go up and take revenge for you!" Wang Yu's answer was straightforward and blunt.

"Your grandpa..."

Hearing Wang Yu's response, Fearless spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Well, Fearless realized he shouldn't have asked Wang Yu this question. This guy was as straightforward as ever, painfully honest… not the kind of pain everyone could understand, but a deep pain that struck at the heart of ordinary people.

Of course, Fearless also knew that when others said such things, they were just bragging, but when Wang Yu said it, he had the confidence to back it up because he really had that strength.

"Let's hear a normal person's answer, Brother Spring!" Fearless, while "driving", turned to ask Spring Halo.

"Well!" Spring Halo pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone's strength is comparable. If you were killed, it's certain that the opponent is stronger than any of us alone. If it were me, I would definitely avoid confrontation and look for others to regroup. We'd all go and beat that guy together."

"See? This is normal thinking", Fearless said earnestly. "Old Bull, you need to care for the emotions of us normal people in the future."

Fearless continued, "They've divided into three groups. We've just taken out a third of them. Now, the other two groups that are still alive have definitely been frightened and will try to find their companions to regroup, just as Brother Spring said."

At this point, Fearless marked something on the large map, saying, "We landed by the roadside earlier. That road is the only way from the forest to the city ruins. So, we need to set up an ambush on that road and take out the other group."

The players' strength in the spring river was not weak, and both the city ruins and the forest were quite defensible maps. If the remaining players regrouped in any of these maps, it wouldn't be good for the Quan Zhen Sect.

If they could eliminate the other half halfway, things would become much easier afterward.

...

After receiving the orders, Donald's group immediately rushed toward the city ruins, moving at full speed. However, since they were many people, they had to accommodate the slower pace of the frontliners, making their mobility inferior to the smaller Quan Zhen Sect team.

Moreover, the Quan Zhen Sect had an accelerated 360% God-grade equipment mount sled, which was even faster. By the time the Quan Zhen Sect returned to their original landing point, Donald's team had only covered half the distance.

"Keep going, keep going!"

Upon reaching the landing point, Fearless signaled for everyone to continue with the same strategy. The Quan Zhen members jumped off the sled, left it by the roadside, and then dove into the grass.

Wang Yu, Frost Blade, and Darknorth Fisher stood by the roadside in confusion, unsure of what to think.

"What are you three doing? Hurry up and lure them!"

Seeing the three standing there like stunned geese, Fearless was also baffled.

"What the heck, can you even do this, Fearless?" Frost Blade said, shielding his eyes as he looked around, "We don't even know where the enemy is; how can you expect us to lure them anywhere?"

That was right. All along, the Quan Zhen members hadn't seen any sign of the opposing players, and they had no idea where they were. If they ran in the wrong direction, it would be quite embarrassing.

"Toward the forest!" Fearless pointed to the left and said, "It's so close to the city ruins, and they can't run faster than us. If they head that way, we're sure to encounter them."

Fearless's reasoning was something most people couldn't keep up with; he could deduce the enemy's movements from small details.

Indeed, Donald's group was moving slowly, and since they were coming from the forest toward the city ruins, they hadn't reached this point yet. The city ruins where Feitian De and the others were located were not far away. If they moved toward the forest, they would have already passed. Therefore, whether the enemy was regrouping in the forest or the city ruins, if they moved toward the forest, they would definitely run into someone.
