Chapter 354 - Firm Decision (1/2)

However, without any definitive proof, thinking that a normal player in the game was a top-tier pro player exceeded their imagination, especially for the more experienced players of Glory.

Every single one of these spies were experienced veterans though, so in the end, they didn’t dare think to a.s.sume two players’ true ident.i.ties.

Everyone still carried one last line of hope. After all, this sort of precise control was very demanding for the player. A single error could cause the whole situation to go amiss.

And losing control over a monster’s aggro was the main reason for a team wipe, so if something like that really did happen, then pretending to be noobs and dying would be a lot easier.

Only Blue River and the others, who knew of these two’s true ident.i.ties, felt truly hopeless.

Who were these two? These were the two players that had consecutively won Best Duo in the pro scene. With that type of synergy between them, they wouldn’t deserve that t.i.tle if they slipped up while dealing with an NPC.

Blue River still received messages from other spies though, who were still patiently a.n.a.lyzing the situation.

Lord Grim’s true ident.i.ty was knowledge that only relatively high ranking members of Blue Brook Guild knew. When they faced him, they often had feelings of cowardice and fear.

These feelings had already overwhelmed Blue River. However, he couldn’t share his knowledge with them and could only watch as they patiently waited for an opportunity. He strengthened his resolve and decided that he too would hope that a miracle would occur. Correct! In Blue River’s eyes, hoping that this duo would make a mistake was the same as hoping for a miracle.

“Attack!”

“Retreat!”

“Attack!”

“Retreat!”

Those were pretty much the only words that came out of Lord Grim’s mouth. Their attacks were led by him and Cleansing Mist. Their retreats were led by Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion. The two didn’t make any mistakes. He goes, then she goes. Everyone had already gotten used to the routine. Making a mistake now would be extremely embarra.s.sing.

Miracle. A miracle is a highly improbable event.

Blue River was hoping for a miracle, but the majority of the spies held a normal att.i.tude. In their eyes, it would be a miracle if the two didn’t make a mistake.

And the result.

The Guardian’s health continued to drop. Those who were hoping for a miracle didn’t receive one. Those who were afraid of a miracle, watched as the miracle began to unfold.

The spies no longer had the time to continue waiting for the two to make mistakes and began to employ more active approaches. They would go all out in order to force the Guardian’s aggro to go out of control. The spies who tried to do this were initially afraid of arousing Lord Grim’s suspicions because of their unrestrained attacks, but in the end, none of them were called out for it. As a result, all of the spies began to think along the same line: don’t worry about aggro, just put out as much damage as possible.

However, Lord Grim’s and Cleansing Mist’s aggro control wasn’t disrupted. The two continued to pull the Guardian back and forth. The spies discovered that their unrestrained damage dealing only increased the speed at which the Guardian was dying.

Not one spy there wanted that to happen. Seeing that their method wasn’t working, they immediately abandoned it. Attacking resolutely wasn’t good. Attacking too slowly would arouse Lord Grim’s suspicions. The bunch of spies were having great difficulty figuring out what to do. With none of their schemes working, they attempted to do something again. Finally, after seeing that the battle was coming to a close and Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist didn’t look to be making any mistakes any time soon, the spies from the top guilds were now discussing in private and reporting their situation to their higher ups.

Blue River also noticed that their QQ group chat had gone into a huge commotion. With the battle s.h.i.+fting from one side to the other, he had the time to look over at the chat occasionally.

He hastily skimmed over it, but didn’t see anything substantial. Though in game, he received a message and the group chat quickly came to a conclusion.

The notification explained that there were already so many spies. Sacrificing one or two wouldn’t be a problem, but they had to break Guild Happy’s momentum and have the tenth server see that Lord Grim’s guild could also encounter problems.

As for the plan itself, they had to pick which spies to sacrifice, in order to intentionally mess up the situation and create a chance for a team to wipe.

In the end, because Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition had four spies inside the guild, the two guilds would sacrifice one spy each. After receiving the message, Blue River told the other three spies, but who would have thought that the three would fight over who would be sacrificed? As the guild leader, Blue River naturally had his own pride, so he didn’t join his subordinates in fighting for the spot. Plus, he knew that he was only temporarily using this account. Two people were not allowed to use the same account at once. He still had to take care of his main account. What guild leader would personally become a spy?

In the end, Blue Brook Guild rolled a die to see who would be the sacrifice. Tyrannical Ambition pretty much did the same to choose their sacrifice as well.They then communicated with their higher ups. The order came down to immediately begin!

There wasn’t much time left. Under the gazes of envy from the other spies, the two sacrifices began to wreak havoc. Even though being a spy in game wasn’t as thrilling as in real life, apart from a few abnormal people, most people didn’t like doing this type of thing. Being a spy meant becoming friends with someone and then selling them out. Whether it was for justice or not, doing it always felt bad.
