Chapter 1787 1787: Setting a Fire

"Fearless, are you getting a bit carried away... right now, it's the other side that has the geographical advantage."

Upon hearing Fearless's words, everyone rolled their eyes.

Having a dozen people take on hundreds isn't something the Quan Zhen Sect hasn't done before, but that was only possible when they had the upper hand in terms of battlefield geography.

Now that the Spring River Warm Water faction has occupied the city ruins, the Quan Zhen Sect had lost that advantage. In this situation, expecting to eliminate the enemy without any casualties was just absurd.

"You guys don't understand anything!"

Fearless smiled and said, "Do you think just anyone can command a territorial battle? Those who can defend are called steadfast, while those who can't defend simply give way."

...

While speaking, Fearless drove the sled and brought the Quan Zhen members to the vicinity of the city ruins.

Though it was called a city, the ruins were actually more like a village, but it could still easily accommodate over three hundred people.

"Get off, get off!"

As everyone saw the outline of the city gate, Fearless suddenly made a swift maneuver, steering the sled into the bushes, then jumped out of the vehicle, urging the others to hurry down as well.

"What's going on? Aren't we going straight in?"

Seeing Fearless's actions, Wang Yu asked in surprise.

"We need to sneak in", Fearless pointed to the city gate and explained, "There must be an ambush at the gate. If we go in like this, we'll definitely be at a disadvantage."

On the battlefield, the side that strikes first is the one taking the initiative. If they recklessly enter the city without knowing the enemy's hiding spots, they would certainly face an ambush.

This area of ruins isn't large, and once the Quan Zhen Sect's members expose themselves as targets, the other players from the Spring River Warm Water faction could quickly come to their aid. Since flying equipment can't be used in this map, at that moment, a dozen people would be at a disadvantage against over three hundred; it was likely that no one, except for Wang Yu, would be able to escape.

Fearless was not one to suffer losses; no matter how disadvantaged, he needed to maintain control.

"Then I'll go see where they're hiding!"

The swordsman Frost Blade volunteered, brandishing a dagger and preparing to charge forward.

"Come back!" Fearless grabbed Frost Blade and said, "Do you think they're foolish? They definitely have scouts at the entrance. Let Old Fish go."

"Understood!"

Darknorth Fisher nodded and used an earth escape technique to sink underground.

Before long, Darknorth Fisher sent a message: "There are four entrances to the city ruins, each ambushed by a squad of about twenty people. The rest are on standby nearby and can reach any exit within thirty seconds."

"See that?" Upon receiving Darknorth Fisher's message, Fearless spread his hands and said, "These guys have already laid out their traps, just waiting for us to walk into them."

"What now?"

Seeing this situation, Spring Halo and the others couldn't help but furrow their brows.

There's no denying that the commander of Spring River Warm Water was quite capable; they had cleverly used the terrain to set up an ambush, planning to lure them in.

Fortunately, their opponent was the crafty Fearless; otherwise, once they entered the city, everyone would have fallen into their trap.

"Hehe! Simple!" Fearless replied nonchalantly. "This ambush is too complex; as long as we can sneak in quietly, we can take the initiative. At that point, who knows who the real trapped one will be."

Having said that, Fearless ordered, "Old Bull, you go to the north gate and 'set a fire'; the rest of you come with me to the south gate."

Setting a fire meant attracting attention. Once a target was exposed, it would inevitably draw the other players in for a chase, allowing the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect to take advantage of the chaos.

Of course, not everyone could escape unscathed when being chased by hundreds; the only one suitable for this important task was Wang Yu.

"Understood!"

Wang Yu nodded confidently and sprinted towards the north gate of the city ruins, while the others followed Fearless to the south gate.

...

At the north gate of the city ruins, Ya Si led a squad hiding behind the main gate. Fei Tian De had specifically instructed them not to expose themselves to the enemy's line of sight; otherwise, they wouldn't achieve a surprise victory.

Having lost so many companions, Ya Si knew the enemy they were facing was formidable, so he couldn't afford any slack. The group remained still behind the gate, focusing intently on the entrance, not daring to blink, weapons ready for an attack at any moment.

However, at that moment, a brawler swaggered through the gate; his imposing physique and aura made it clear that it was none other than Wang Yu.

With his keen perception, Wang Yu sensed dozens of murderous gazes lurking in the shadows as soon as he entered the gate. He casually walked toward the direction where Ya Si and the others were hiding.

"Boss, someone's coming! Should we attack?"

Seeing Wang Yu swaggering toward them, one of Ya Si's subordinates asked anxiously.

"Let's wait and see..." Ya Si replied cautiously. "This guy might be the vanguard; we'll strike once their people are all inside."

"Oh, okay..."

The subordinate nodded, half-understanding, and fell silent. At this point, Wang Yu was already less than five meters away from their hiding spot.

As Ya Si and the others remained patient in their ambush, Wang Yu suddenly looked toward their hiding place and said, "You all can come out now; I'll make your deaths quick."

"??!"

Hearing Wang Yu's words, everyone was taken aback. The anxious subordinate exclaimed, "Damn it, this guy found us!"

"Shut up!" Ya Si replied, exasperated. "He's trying to bait us."

But just as Ya Si finished speaking, he heard Wang Yu say, "I'm not baiting you; you must be their leader, right?"

The moment the word "leader" left Wang Yu's mouth, he suddenly shifted his body and extended his right arm forward, a beam of white light rushing toward them.

Ya Si hadn't even realized what was happening when he felt himself being pulled, and by the time he reacted, he was already lifted by Wang Yu.

"You..."

Looking at Wang Yu before him, Ya Si's eyes nearly popped out in fright, and he frantically struggled to break free from Wang Yu's grip.

"Haha!"

Ya Si was merely an assassin, and in terms of strength, he was no match for Wang Yu. Wang Yu didn't waste time chatting with Ya Si; he simply lifted him by the ankle and swung him forcefully.

"Bang!"

Ya Si's head was smashed against the wall, instantly turning into a beam of white light.

"Whoa..."

Seeing Ya Si get killed, his subordinates immediately fell into chaos, shouting in the guild channel: "Not good! Members of the Quan Zhen Sect are charging in through the north gate!"

At the same time, Wang Yu leaped into the crowd, delivering a thunderous stomp that crushed a circle of enemies beneath him. Upon landing, he twisted and unleashed a fiery blade, completing a second round of harvesting; before the twenty people even knew what had happened, they were annihilated in an instant.

"!!!"

Fei Tian De wasn't foolish either; he knew that the Quan Zhen Sect might be trying to pull a classic maneuver. Upon seeing the messages in the guild channel, he quickly replied, "How many are there?"

But at that moment, Fei Tian De received a system notification that twenty of his own members had been wiped out.
