"Okay, let's go," Wendelian sighed as she summoned her mount .
"Big sister, do you want to just transport back to the city?" one player asked . He had just witnessed a high-ranking player get killed with a dozen players around him . It wasn't just him, but the others were feeling dumbfounded too .
"There's no need . Ruling Sword won't be able to do that again," Wendelian said as she glanced at him coldly .
The fact that Torrent got killed was something they deserved; they shouldn't have come here to meddle in their affairs . However, if they killed a star player like Wendelian or Cloudy Leaf, they would have to bear the risk of an all-out war, especially after these two had already decided to leave .
They couldn't just use their Hearthstones to return to the city either, as that would be too embarrassing .
"It's a good item, do you want it?" Water Fairy asked as she leaned against a tree and looked at the Hunter's T1 Bracer .
"You can keep it," Lu Li refused as he shook his head . "If you weren't there, I wouldn't have been able to kill him alone . "
Water Fairy didn't insist on it, and just put the item in her backpack .
Lu Li raised his hand and just as Water Fairy thought he was going to touch her hair, he pulled his hand back . There was a small cyan snake on his finger . This wasn't a monster, but just a small animal in the forest . It wouldn't bite but it often scared the players .

It wasn't clear whether Water Fairy was nervous or disappointed, but she murmured a thank you .
"Boss, I saw Cloudy Leaf with a few other players . Do you want me to stop them? Our Paladin group is going to meet them," Drifting Rain messaged during this quiet time .
The few dozen players were part of a group that Lu Li and Water Fairy couldn't deal with on their own . However, the hundreds of Paladins that Drifting Rain was leading could easily clear the field . They were strong enough and could easily catch up to them with the Paladin aura and Darkness' effect .
Lu Li's next decision would determine the fate of these players .
"Let them go," Lu Li said, then paused and added, "And get someone to escort them, so no one will bother them . "
This so-called escort was actually a disguised display of force .
"You're so petty . "
If it was Water Fairy, she would have let them go, but she wouldn't have commanded an escort for them . With so many Paladins, Gale Legion's faces must have been priceless .
"If I had died today, they wouldn't be around for much longer," Lu Li snorted in response .
"There are so many weird items in Dawn; being more cautious helps you live longer . "

Water Fairy was worried about Lu Li at first . After all, he had just faced three professional players, which meant that any mistake could have resulted in his death .
"I have a lot of weird items myself," Lu Li said arrogantly, but he also knew that Water Fairy was just caring about him . When he called Water Fairy for help, the girl had responded without needing to be asked a second time .
"There are still other troubles in Grey Valley . These players can't afford to do anything too crazy," Water Fairy said, furrowing her brow .
"Their main objective is to be annoying . I have asked for all foreign players to be thoroughly cleared out . After all, at a time like this, they are all enemies . "
Lu Li understood what the clubs were trying to do . They were envious and hateful, and wanted to do something, but they didn't dare to launch a full-scale war .
Regardless of how messy it was, Ruling Sword's Stronghold would be built .
The other clubs had to be prepared to attack the Stronghold, or target the new territory that was being announced next week . These clubs would then become competitors and fight each other more than they would against Ruling Sword .
No one wanted to take the first shot . They all wanted someone else to attack first, so they could come in to scoop up the rewards .
If Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court could fight Glory Capital and Gale Legion, then clubs like Blood Red War Flag would be overjoyed .

"What are you going to do now?" Water Fairy asked .
"Get more materials and wait for the next players to come," Lu Li said as he pointed at the few stone cars that weren't far away .
"Ah . "
Water Fairy finally knew why Lu Li had become a target – he had done it to himself .
"It's a part of building the Stronghold," Lu Li said awkwardly . As a leader, he didn't actually need to do any of the work himself . He could have just given an instruction and put someone in charge . However, he was like an old farmer that was used to tending to his crops . He just wasn't used to doing nothing .
"Let's finish this up then," Water Fairy offered as she helped Lu Li lifted up a cart that had been overturned .
"You don't have to trouble yourself . I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I do it myself," Lu Li explained . He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing .
"I also feel a sense of accomplishment when I do it myself, but this will result in even more work for your guild, especially if something like what just happened happens again . If you don't believe me, look at where the defenses are on the map . The area you are in is fully secured by sentries," Water Fairy said .
It wasn't because Lu Li was stupid; he just wasn't used to the treatment of a leader .
Lu Li was almost killed, which was a very serious thing . It was just like when Lu Li assassinated Sorrowless . That assassination made Lu Li famous, and it also affected Glory Capital in a way that they still hadn't fully recovered from .
After knowing Lu Li's position, Drifting Rain immediately mobilized a large number of players in the area to ensure that no enemy could threaten Lu Li any longer .
What a mess!
Water Fairy reminded, and was confirmed by Drifting Rain, that Lu Li gathering these materials was not helping but creating more work .
"Alright then, I'll go offline . There's nothing else to do," Lu Li sighed . His interest in the work quickly waned .
"I'm going out soon to buy something . Do you want to come with?" Water Fairy asked . She couldn't bear to see Lu Li feeling down, so she invited him out .
"Of course . The thing I have the most of right now is energy," Lu Li agreed .
There was a large shopping mall nearby which had everything they needed . It wasn't a holiday or the weekend right now, so he couldn't spend time with his sister . Water Fairy pointed to a make-up brand and said, "This is very suitable for Lu Xin . It is a special product that doesn't damage the skin . "
"Buy buy buy! Get two of them!"
"I don't need this; I'm not a child . It is better for me to use another one," Water Fairy quickly stopped him . This guy's idea of shopping was absolutely dumbfounding .
