Sorrowless was a macho sort of guy, and he didn’t know what it meant to give up .
He had previously played a game where there were no time limits . As soon as he entered the game, he didn’t sleep for three days in a row, going from knowing nothing at all to knowing everything there was to know . In a few short weeks, he was regularly in the top three on the rankings and the occupation circles took direct notice of him .
Afterwards, the leadership circles invited him to a few top-level clubs . He joined the Glory Capital club at West Mountain Sunset .
At the time, Glory Capital was almost already half disbanded . They didn’t even have a proper competitor and the guild couldn’t make ends meet . They had long since lost the ability to attract players or to turn a profit .
However, Sorrowless didn’t give up . He lobbied for some lower level players to join to start developing the guild again .
Like Ruling Sword, he did the impossible by leading this guild to become one of the best . It became a holy land that players competed with each other to join .
He wasn’t as lucky as Lu Li though . When Sorrowless first entered the leadership circles, he encountered difficulty after difficulty, but no matter how many failures he experienced, he never gave up .
Under his leadership, Glory Capital had walked up to the altar . Under his leadership, Glory Capital embodied the spirit of never giving up . The most basic requirement of leading a successful guild was keeping the style of the group consistent with the leader’s spirit . If you couldn’t keep it consistent, then you were simply a leader, not a spiritual leader .
Even so, Sorrowless knew he couldn’t knock down Ruling Sword’s wall .

Sorrowless had already given the command to attack . His pride and his principles didn’t let him give up straight away .
The chariots rumbled and fired . In a game set in a Western fantasy, you rarely saw this kind of thing .
Normal artillery, that is, the cheapest kind, would hit the stone walls and the result would be shattering, but now, it was completely different . When this type of artillery hit the walls covered with Bloodvine juice, it just made a dull sound .
Evidently, they couldn’t be too optimistic about the damage this would do .
There were also Fire Bombs and Ice Bombs .
This sort of combination of Ice Bombs and Fire Bombs was usually terrifying . However, apart from Acid, the Black Sea Coast’s Stronghold had nothing to be afraid of at the moment .
The damage of the Spike Bombs was mainly targeted towards the chariots on the top of the wall . The battle hadn’t been going on for long, but a few of Ruling Sword’s chariots had already fallen apart . Lu Li had no choice but to scatter the chariots around a bit .
This was all that Glory Capital could do .
As the battle commenced, Ruling Sword’s members continued to douse the wall in Bloodvine juice .
While it still appeared to be all in vain, Glory Capital upheld their fierce offense . It was as if they wouldn’t be satisfied until they used up all the artillery they had brought with them .

“This isn’t normal…” Lu Li muttered as he sat on a chair on top of the wall . With a frown on his face, he was lost in thought . Despite the atmosphere of the rumbling of chariots, all of this was still costing money . Normal artillery didn’t cost a lot, but artillery with special qualities that had gone through production was different .
For example, you had to do quests with the army camps to build up Reputation . Once you reached a certain amount of Reputation, only then would you have the right to buy Fire Bombs .
When you bought them, not only did they cost gold, but they also cost Reputation . Therefore, the number of Fire Bombs each person could buy every week was limited . It was only because Glory Capital had so many people that they could save up enough to use in a battle .
Under normal circumstances, after seeing that it would have no effect, Glory Capital shouldn’t have continued to waste their resources .
After all, they could only fight once a week, so they would still have chances in the future .
Sorrowless wouldn’t give up easily, but he also wasn’t stupid . He should have known which choice to make .
Since it was like this, they still had to keep flaunting their superiority . This only meant that they were stalling for time, or they had other methods .
“Left Hand, take some people and go protect our Stronghold’s crystal . Rice Ball, you go too . Open a door above the side of the crystal . I suspect they might try and launch a surprise attack on it,” Lu Li instructed as he looked down from the top of the wall . Because there were chariots acting as bunkers, he didn’t know how many people their opponent still had down there .
Lu Li could just fly into someone else’s Stronghold with Hachi Chan . Why couldn’t Glory Capital?
Now, it wasn’t just the two of them who could fly, and it wasn’t just Sesame Rice Ball who could operate the Warlock’s Summoning Portal . Just to be on the safe side, Lu Li couldn’t wait stupidly doing nothing .

“March, you keep watch here . If anything happens, call me and I’ll come have a look . ”
Lu Li quickly changed into a crow, flapping his wings as he took off into the air and flying a few circles around Glory Capital’s chariots . He didn’t need to come down to know that their opponent’s numbers spelled trouble for them .
“Left Hand, you guys have to be a bit careful; they’ve got 20 to 40 less people there,” Lu Li reported .
Perhaps Glory Capital was worried that they would be discovered, so their numbers didn’t decrease by that much . However, if Lu Li remained unaware of this, then 20 to 40 people would have been enough to launch a surprise attack on the Stronghold crystal .
“We’ve arrived at the crystal . Nothing’s happened,” Cain’s Left Hand quickly replied .
“Hehe, since they haven’t arrived yet, then we can set up an ambush . Rice Ball, open the portal and pull people through . Starting from team 7, call 50 people over to join the ambush . Make sure you destroy all of them,” Lu Li said with a treacherous smile . It was as though he had already seen the expressions of Glory Capital’s people who had come to take them by surprise, but were taken by surprise themselves .
With Sesame Rice Ball, this would naturally be arranged very quickly .
If they could successfully deal with these 20 or 40 people, then they would gain at least a dozen or so pieces of Epic equipment . In a Stronghold battle, it was the equipment that attracted Lu Li most .
Defending wasn’t hard; the difficult part was defending the Stronghold and also gaining some equipment .
Lu Li also flew over and landed on the top of the centre hall . If anyone came over, he would spot them .
They already had everything; they just needed to wait for Sorrowless to deliver some equipment!
Time slowly passed, and after a full 10 minutes, there was still no movement . Even if Lu Li was a really patient person, at that point, he was getting quite anxious .
Those 20 or 40 people couldn’t have left the Stronghold battlefield, so they must have had different targets . Apart from the Stronghold crystal, where else could they go…
They could only claim victory in a Stronghold battle if they destroyed the Stronghold crystal .
“Something’s not quite right . Are they messing with us…? Could it be that they knew they couldn’t win, so they did this to scare us…?” Cain’s Left Hand guessed .
“Do you think Sorrowless is that kind of person?” Lu Li said sourly .
He couldn’t not say anything, but Cain’s Left Hand preferred to believe his own boss wasn’t so tedious as to do this for no reason . Sorrowless was someone with status, but evidently, he wouldn’t do something like this .
