Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Joy Turns Into Sorrow
The crisis was that if they failed, there was no way to cover this up. Prosperous Age would not only lose face massively, but they would also lose their investments and reputation. No one would be willing to invest in a guild with no sense of security.
What was even more worrisome was that if Prosperous Age suffered heavy losses this time, their enemies would not hesitate to sink their teeth in deeper, kicking them while they’re down. No one would be courteous.
But what if they succeeded? If they did, their achievement would be grand. If they could win against such a frightening wave of Warcraft, it would place Prosperous Age’s prestige on an even higher pedestal, which would be beneficial for their investments.
“We must win.”
Firm determination shone in Beast Speaker’s eyes. This second wave of monsters was far more intense than the one Starfire faced.
The problem was that last time, the four major guilds had exhausted too much of the monsters’ power.
Plus, with the people they found, Starfire had managed to win.
But that was their perspective. From others’ perspectives, Starfire’s battle had been very impressive.
If Prosperous Age does not perform well…
“Prosperous Age is now issuing a task entrustment order. All idle players at the base and nearby can join the task of fighting the monsters. The rewards for this time are absolutely generous, guaranteeing at least 50 silver coins. Depending on performance, the final reward will increase. For players above level 23, the guarantee is at least 1 Gold Coin.”
Since the matter cannot be concealed anymore, Beast Speaker didn’t care anymore and while commanding resistance, he spoke on the area channel.
Wealth was indeed enticing. Even though they knew the danger, many idle players still joined in the defensive formation. Especially those players in the cities, they had nowhere to run.
“Charge!”
After securing the cemetery’s situation, Beast Speaker immediately led a large number of players towards the plaza.
“Although all of you have accepted the entrustment, you still lack confidence in our guild. Now, let me show you our strength and depth,” Beast Speaker continued to incite them.
Just as he said, their seemingly stable form was, in fact, not optimistic.
The number of horned eagle beast they had killed was sparse, but the bubbling Soul White Light was still visible everywhere.
The situation with the main tanks was a bit better. They were generally not instantly killed, and added with the healing, it felt relatively stable.
But the situation with other players was different. Whether it was the magical assaults from the horned eagle beast or their rending swoops, they were not something fragile-bodied players could withstand.
“The blood is enough, we can open the altar now,” a shaman player loudly declared.
Beast Speaker took out a blood-filled test tube and carefully poured the blood onto the blood-colored statue on the altar, which was already emitting a red glow.
“That blood glowing with a crystalline light is the blood of a fourth-tier or higher boss-level Warcraft. How did they get it?” Tanuki exclaimed in surprise.
“Is this blood valuable?”
“Isn’t it just blood? When we reach that level, we can also get it.”
Tanuki shook his head, “This is not ordinary blood, but blood near the Demon Crystal, which is extremely precious. Moreover, it can’t always be collected, especially considering our current low levels. Getting such high-level things is not simple. They are really wealthy and domineering. I’ve seen a hidden shop selling this blood, a small test tube of blood costs 500 Gold Coins. This looks like a medium-sized test tube, at least 800 Gold Coins.”
The audience took a deep breath, this was just too extravagant.
“What is this thing that requires such precious items?” Many viewers were puzzled.
Tanuki explained, “This is the guild altar, you’ll see its effects soon.”
As the precious blood was poured onto the statue, streams of blood flowed out from the bodies of all the city players.
With the flickering of the blood light, their aura also became stronger.
It was as if a layer of Bloody Armor was attached to everyone.
A horned eagle beast spewed out a whirlwind, and a player with cloth armor was hit. He would have been instantly killed, but now he still had a third of his health left, and his health was recovering quickly.
“Such a big investment.” Tanuki muttered to herself, and the audience was also stunned. This effect was too powerful.
Despite the huge cost, the effect was extremely good. It could practically reverse the situation.
“My god, even this fountain is an altar.” Tanuki’s eyes nearly popped out: “Two altars, Prosperous Age is really worthy of its reputation. This time they actually used more than a dozen Crystal Cores as an offering, this is just too insane.”
Tanuki’s words were followed by a golden light covering their weapons, reflecting brilliantly with the red light.
What amazed the players even more was that the weapons of Hunters, Magicians, summoners, Necromancers, and other professions were shining with golden light, followed by golden eagles flying up into the sky.
Each of the summoning professionals had a golden eagle flying around them, made entirely of gold, fighting the horned eagles in the sky.
Each of these golden eagles was of boss-level, enough to fight against the horned eagles.
The situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed, leaving everyone dumbfounded, yet their blood boiling.
“With such a precious offering, I estimate it can last more than two or three hours. There’s no suspense anymore.” Tanuki shook her head. As the horned eagles could not instantly kill the players and were constrained, there’s no danger to the Prosperous Age Base.
Especially those guild players who haven’t gotten an altar yet, their eyes lit up, realizing the power of the altar could be this absurd.
“Prosperous Age, victory is assured!”
“Prosperous Age, victory is assured!”
The morale of Prosperous Age players was greatly bolstered. Even though they had suffered heavy losses, the glorious victory was in sight. Once they annihilate these Warcraft, Prosperous Age’s morale will skyrocket.
However, the two supposed boss-level creatures in the sky were automatically ignored.
Those guilds prepared to enjoy the spectacle were suddenly disappointed, but they desired the altar even more.
“Even if you have altars, you can’t beat two bosses. However, we cannot let you kill too many horned eagles to boost your morale,”
Li Yao casually stood up, jumped down, and walked to a corner, where he directly pressed the controller.
Boom, boom…
The huge explosion and flashes illuminated the night sky where the altar stood, causing a massive explosion.
After the flames dissipated, all the players near the altar had disappeared with it. The players slightly further away were blown away by the blast wave.
The golden eagles battling with the horned eagles in the sky disappeared into specks of light, and the Bloody Armor and golden War Blades on the Prosperous Age players shattered like reflections in the mirror.
The audience was stunned by the scene. Whether it was the base or the livestream room, both fell into silence.
Beast Speaker and the elite groups he was protecting had their souls appear in the cemetery, all of them still puzzled about what had happened.
“From joy to sorrow,” Tanuki muttered. With the explosion, everyone understood. The attack on Prosperous Age Base by the Warcraft was a setup by someone who clearly knew about their several altars.
Especially the fountain statue, who could have thought it was an altar. But somehow, they knew it was and had even managed to inconspicuously install explosives. So, who was this person?
