Chapter 859 - Barbarian Raider (1/2)
Nie Yan returned to Okoron and immediately began preparations to deal with Half-Demon Angud.
Before long, a 1,000-man team assembled in the square in front of the guild headquarters. Clad in brilliant armour, they stood at attention, brimming with icy killing intent.
Each of these players were one out of 10,000 hand-picked elites!
A large crowd of curious passersby gathered too.
“What are they up to?”
“Surely, they aren’t going to attack Angel Corps with such a small force?”
“One of my friends in Asskickers United told me they’re preparing to face Angud.”
“Really? With only these guys?”
“You're joking, right? Angud is a Level 180 Demonified Lord!”
“Yeah! Super bosses like that can even wipe out entire guilds!”
“I don’t know guys, that’s what I heard.”
The crowd was awestruck by the domineering line-up. Sure enough, Asskickers United’s elites were on a completely different plane.
“Don’t underestimate those guys. I heard that on average their Warriors have over 13,000 defense, and their Mages over 17,000 magic power.”
“My god! How? That’s insane!”
For most Warriors it was impressive to reach about 8,000 defense by the time they hit Level 140. The same could be said for Mages with 10,000 magic power. Yet the average player in this 1,000-man expedition team almost doubled those stats. An insurmountable gap separated these top players from the rest.
The 1,000-man expedition team was split into different ranks.
Nie Yan and Guo Huai stood outside the entrance of the guild headquarters.
「So, how’s it going? Did you locate Angud yet?」Nie Yan asked. He had sent out Smoke Stub, Bladelight, and several others to track down Angud.
「Not yet. It’s like he vanished into thin air.」
「Be patient. He’ll show himself,」Nie Yan said. Worst comes to worst, he would step forth personally to act as bait.
「I don’t think our 1,000-man expedition team is strong enough to face him.」
「I have a plan.」Nie Yan explained the use of the Kelo Runestones.「Just follow my commands. When the time comes, I’ll summon War God Kelo.」He’d mobilized the 1,000-man expedition simply to reduce the workload on himself.
「War God Kelo? You mean the Level 360 Lord you rescued from Sinful Gorge?」
「Correct.」
「That’s great news!」
Learning there was a way to deal with Angud, everyone became excited. Angud had harassed them for long enough. It was about time they got their revenge!
「Smoke Stub, Bladelight, Monochrome, Edgeless, Lofty Shadow, Lei Su, you six come back first,」Nie Yan said.
「Why? Is something up?」
「You’ll find out when you get here,」Nie Yan replied.
Smoke Stub, Bladelight, and the other four teleported back to Okoron with Return Scrolls. A few minutes later, they arrived at the guild headquarters.
“Take this.” Nie Yan tossed a War God Insignia to Smoke Stub.
“What is this?” Smoke Stub asked skeptically. The War God Insignia looked like an ordinary medal with no real use.
“If you have this War God Insignia with you when you class swap to a Raider, you won’t need to restart from Level 0,” Nie Yan replied before distributing the remaining five War God Insignias.
Smoke Stub couldn’t help but become excited and asked, “War God Kelo gave these to you?”
“Yep. It was one of my quest rewards.” Nie Yan chuckled.
These six Warriors had been faced with a difficult choice. Stick to their current class and eventually be outclassed by other players. Or class swap to a barbarian Raider and start back at Level 0, becoming utterly useless to the guild for the foreseeable future. They’d be leaning towards sticking to their current class, simply because they couldn’t let their guildmates fight Angud, or Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group without them. Thankfully, the War God Insignia had resolved this issue.
Bladelight and the other five couldn’t help but wonder how much a War God Insignia would sell for in the marketplace. Its value was certainly immeasurable!
War God Kelo only gave Nie Yan six War God Insignias, which he was offering to them! They couldn’t feel prouder. Clearly, their boss viewed them as the pillars of Asskickers United!
