“After all, our numbers are limited. It seems like stepping into a trap intentionally doesn’t provide any advantage. It still feels like we’re being passive,” the Guardian Angel said, deep in thought.
Sister Li disagreed, “You’re thinking about it the wrong way.”
“How so? Isn’t it true that we don’t know how many ambushers they have? What if several guilds gang up on us? No matter how elite our members are, it’s hard to win when outnumbered,” the Guardian Angel analyzed.
“You have a point, but don’t forget, our guild leader has managed to gain a lot of antagonists. We have more potential enemies than we can count. What we’re afraid of aren’t frontal assaults, but harassment and sneak attacks from the shadows. The unseen enemies are the most terrifying and unpredictable ones we can’t defend against,” Sister Li said.
“I’m not convinced by that,” the Guardian Knight shook his head.
Qin Feng Yi said, “There are many benefits, and now is the perfect time. Right now, all the guilds are busy raiding master-level instances and they would unlikely spare any extra efforts. Our enemies should not be many, nor would they assign their main forces who are raiding to deal with us.”
“The second point is, at this early stage of the game, the coordination among guilds is bound to have issues. Our guild, composed entirely of elite professionals, actually has an advantage.”
“Thirdly, our guild has been too eye-catching lately, both in its domination of the rankings and in keeping pace with everyone’s progress in raiding instances. Even guilds that didn’t see us as rivals will start to now. They perhaps wouldn’t care about the old guilds, but new guilds would generally be against us. No one wants to share their piece of the cake. Hence, our guild needs to demonstrate sufficient combat power. The major guilds will not resort to petty tricks if they realize that we are not easy to manipulate.”
“I still have reservations, but I trust your judgment,” Guardian Angel nodded and did not say anything more.
“The best-case scenario is actually to focus on development. Right now, we lack nothing and as long as we have sufficient time, we could grow steadily,” Qin Feng Yi sighed.
Seeing the others nodding, Li Yao, who had been silent all along, said, “I don’t agree with that. We need to force others out if we want to secure a bigger share of the cake. The cake is only so big after all. Therefore, I believe that a strong guild emerges from battles, not from peaceful development. Guilds developed peacefully often lack a sense of unity.”
“Yes, only through trials of blood and fire will the members develop emotional bonds towards the guild. Only then will they trust their comrades who fought with them. Only then will they become a strong, indivisible entity. Such guilds are the truly strong ones,” Sister Li nodded in agreement.
“If there is no path ahead, then let’s carve out one ourselves. I want to see which guild is foolish enough to plot against me. There will be a price to pay,” Li Yao’s eyes flashed with a glint of coldness, now he wasn’t in this fight alone.
“In that case, let’s fight,” the Fruit Knight said resolutely.
“Then let’s fight,” Qin Feng Yi and Dazed Eyes were infected by their passion.
Shadow Dance Insanity was as silent as ever, but he had already tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.
“I have a few things for you in case of emergencies,” Seeing everyone’s morale was high, Li Yao immediately revealed his plan.
Silent nods and voices suggesting their own opinions to supplement and improve the plan were seen and heard among the crowd. As Li Yao was explaining his plan, he couldn’t help but admire his newly built Mechanical Puppet again.

Li Yao knew that once he advanced, he would encounter the Death God 5000. However, he was already very satisfied with having the Death God 4000 now.
Although it hadn’t been used in real battles, the simulation results were extremely satisfactory to Li Yao and it shouldn’t perform badly in actual combat.
This puppet is powerful in two ways, first, it can carry people.
When in the ride mode, Li Yao would be protected by outer armor and would not be hurt, acting as a half-land mount. In the future, it would be quite comfortable to travel. Even though it’s not as fast as a mount, in an era without mounts, having a substitute is certainly a joy.
After all, the Death God 4000 also possesses Wisdom Blessing and has Advanced Wisdom.
The second advantage is that it has two forms. The first form excels in agility and offense, leaning towards harvest mode. The second form tilts towards defense.
The Spider, on the other hand, is more inclined towards single combat. Its usefulness is reduced in mixed battles.
The Gazing Sea Coast, once an important port city in the Human Kingdom, was once quite prosperous.
But after the outbreak of the Undead and the fall of the entire city, it became occupied by the Murloc and Naga following the collapse of the Human Kingdom.
After the establishment of the Forsaken Kingdom, coupled with the emergence of aerial transportation, the Forsaken Undead still haven’t freed up any resources to solve the problem with the port.
As a result, this place has now become a monster paradise, occupied by a powerful Naga tribe that forbids any race from stepping on their territory.
Li Yao, of course, was not audacious enough to attack this port with his party, but rather, they attack the transport team that came out of the port.
They weren’t sure where the goods were headed, but the Nagas, who rarely ventured off the coast, intruded the mainland this time.
“Chief, the transport team is currently crossing this forest,” newcomer Mu Zi reported to Li Yao.
Li Yao nodded, “Are you sure about the route?”
“They’ll definitely come out of the forest from our side, because we have a big road here. The transport team can’t pass through any other directions,” Mu Zi confidently replied.
“Good, how much longer until the transport team appears?”
“They’re very close, probably about 15-20 minutes away.”
“I see, you can return to the squad,” Li Yao said, adding Mu Zi to the squad.
“I think this spot is pretty good, suitable for battle,” Sister Li suggested.
“Alright, let’s set up here,” Li Yao said before calling out on the guild channel, “All tanks from group one to six, move to the front. Melee warriors, fall in behind the tanks. Healers, stay close behind. Seventh squad’s tank and melee, guard the left flank. Eighth squad’s melee, guard the right flank, Tanks and melee from ninth and tenth squads, guard the rear. Temporary squad leaders from each group, form up quickly. We only have ten minutes, move fast.”
Li Yao had divided the guild into ten squads, each containing a hundred members. The tenth squad, however, only had forty to fifty members – not a full squad.
The slightly chaotic formation quickly began to take shape…
