Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1261 Chapter 1261 Rules

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Rules Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Rules No one else made an offer; eight thousand was already quite a lot. Everyone had investigated the map’s resources, and although there were many, there were also three other camps from different factions. Competing with them for resources would make the actual profits uncertain.

This was all unclear. Eight thousand was definitely a high price, and for a guild, it wasn’t a small amount either.

Soon, Li Yao was led into a small lounge where he finally met the guild ranked second.

“Yo, isn’t that Chairman Liaoyuan? No wonder such a generous bid.”

“The man’s got money, why are you concerned? Straight up added a thousand Gold Coins, if you’ve got the guts, you do the same.”

Just as Li Yao and his party entered the lounge, they heard a sarcastic voice. When Li Yao entered, he saw a male and a female, both Trolls–one, a clear-cut Dark Spear Hunter and the other a Shaman Priest.

Li Yao and the Enchantress slightly frowned, not bothering to engage in conversation. The Enchantress whispered to Li Yao, “The Troll Tribe is also a large guild; they only recruit Troll players.”

Li Yao and the Enchantress didn’t stoop to their level, but Starfire wouldn’t tolerate their attitude. She said coldly, “Right, you recognize our boldness and might as well just give up. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry’s guild dares to battle us, Starfire. Losing too badly wouldn’t look good on you.”

The Trolls’ expressions changed. Just as they were about to retort, an official walked in, “Any disputes can be settled in the duel. If there’s any trouble here, you will be disqualified directly.”

Although the words were addressed to everyone, the Beastman General clearly glared at the two Trolls, then turned to Li Yao with a grin and gave a military salute, “Morikan, captain of the Kor’kron Third Team, greets General Liaoyuan.”

Li Yao also saluted, “Captain, you flatter me. I’m no longer a general but the president of Starfire.”

The Trolls’ faces turned sour, their gaze filled with resentment as they looked at the trio, but they dared not continue. After all, getting disqualified over an excuse would really be problematic.

They had also paid seven thousand Gold Coins, which certainly wouldn’t be refunded.

Morikan nodded and said, “A general of course shouldn’t have to queue like the rest. Arena Three’s match is about to finish. Please, General, follow me to board the airship and head to the arena to participate in the match.”

“Much appreciated, Captain.” Li Yao glanced at Starfire, who immediately understood.

“Uncle Captain, we at Starfire engage in maritime trade. We brought a lot of Bloodjuice Wine that we didn’t manage to sell. Please accept it as a gift to mark our meeting; I hope you won’t find it too modest.” Starfire directly passed two bottles of neatly packaged wine over.

The Captain’s eyes immediately lit up. Bloodjuice Wine is a favorite among soldiers, as it gives them the sensation of blood boiling and burning.

However, it’s a high-end drink, not readily available even to ordinary generals, and despite being close guards of the Great Chieftain, they didn’t have many privileges.

A bottle could sell for over a hundred Gold Coins on the West Continent.

Morikan wanted to accept but felt embarrassed and looked at Li Yao.

Li Yao smiled and said, “It’s just a child’s gift, not worth much. It’s unsold stock–we wouldn’t want the Captain to let us take a loss, right?”

“Then I would be rude not to accept.” The Captain happily took it and then brought out a shining amulet, “Ahem, this is something the Great Chieftain gave me. Miss, hunting can be dangerous; this can save your life in a critical moment.”

Chieftain Amulet

Quality: Rare Blue

Upon death, allows for revival with 6/10 life remaining.

“This is too precious.” Players can be resurrected, but NPCs can’t, and this was something that could save your life. Tong Tong felt embarrassed to accept it.

“No problem, new ones will be reissued this month. As long as you don’t look down on it, that’s fine.” The captain casually waved his hand and led everyone away.

Seeing this, two Trolls hurriedly passed over a bag of Gold Coins. The captain’s expression changed, and he rebuked, “Are you trying to get me killed? When the General gives us something, it’s out of concern for us soldiers. You’re offering a bribe. Do it again, and I’ll disqualify you on the spot.”

The two Trolls’ faces immediately turned awkward, and Li Yao and his companions walked out, chuckling.

Tong Tong gloated, “Idiots, not everyone is qualified to give gifts.”

Orc management is extremely strict, especially since they are the Chieftain’s personal guards, and even more brutal.

After all, Li Yao was a general with actual power. He was the queen’s heir, from an esteemed background, and he had his own camp, managing a part of the queen’s personal guards. He didn’t give money; giving items was mutual care. Even if the Great Chieftain found out, he wouldn’t say anything–in fact, he’d encourage a closer relationship between the guards of the two leaders.

But the Trolls directly offering money was a different story. If the captain had accepted it, the least that would’ve happened would be getting kicked out of the personal guard.

“Damn it, they’re too arrogant.” The male Troll gripped his spear, trembling with anger.

The female Troll’s eyes were filled with resentment, but she still grabbed his hand, “If we act now, we’ll only fall into their trap. Hold back for now; we’ll make them pay during the competition.”

“I’d like to, but you’ve seen Prairie Fire’s skills. Even the Aliens are no match, let alone others in the game like Starfire. If we knew Starfire would be here, we wouldn’t have chosen this damned place. Damn these rules.”

“I have my own secret methods too. There might still be a chance. Let’s go.” The female Troll took the lead in walking out.

Soon after, everyone boarded an airship and quickly arrived at a venue.

The competition was simple: it comprised a large battlefield where each guild could deploy up to five thousand people to fight from two fortresses. The victorious side would qualify. Out of the five thousand, a maximum of five hundred players could participate, and the rest were NPC armies.

The captain handed Li Yao a form on the airship and said, “Here are the detailed rules. Study them carefully, General.”

Li Yao nodded. In truth, he had already known the rules.

The two fortresses were three thousand yards apart and consisted of two layers: the main walls of the Outer City, the walls of the Inner City, and the Chieftain Hall.

All five hundred players, regardless of whether they were leaders or not, would be elevated to leader level, and of the five hundred players or NPCs, twenty could be selected as High Colonels. High Colonels would continuously enjoy the transformation state of a High Colonel, with very strong attributes and health, and random Legion auras.

There could also be three Generals, each defending the Outer City, Inner City, and Chieftain Hall, benefiting from the General transformation’s attribute boosts.

One Chieftain, who would oversee the hall and enjoy the Marshal transformation’s increased power.

The winning condition was also simple: whichever side could capture the enemy’s Chieftain Hall would claim final victory.

Soon the group arrived at the site and found that many players were watching the match as spectators from the outside.

“General, you can now arrange your forces. We will be responsible for the transportation,” said the captain.

Li Yao nodded and pulled out a roster he had prepared well in advance. The captain also requested the list from the Trolls and began summoning Magicians to fetch people.

“I didn’t expect it, but it turns out we’re competing against the Qionghua Guild. Look, isn’t that Sister Jia Jia?” Tong Tong pointed to a female Magician…
