Chapter 1786: 1786
“Sorrowless, Sorrowless are you there? Just give me the equipment back, and I will help you fight Ruling Sword,” Unforgettable Maple said angrily .
“Heh,” Lu Li didn’t even pay attention to him .
Sorrowless didn’t pay attention to him either . The player who was leading Glory Capital and directing his troops to rush into the Stronghold had to be really naive to believe Unforgettable Maple’s words .
The battle had now transitioned into the Stronghold and the two sides were desperately fighting .
“Push them back,” Lu Li looked at the time and felt that he had to push them out now . As the endless stream of Glory Capital players rushed into the Stronghold, Lu Li realised they might not be able to hold on until the time ran out .
Of course, the Glory Capital players didn’t want to get pushed out, but Lu Li had the Ancient of Lore . Once it started moving, there was little the players could do to stop it . As they cleared out Glory Capital’s players, Lu Li also had a chance to take some equipment . The ground was covered in equipment, and everyone was grabbing as many as they could .
They had already agreed that as long as the equipment didn’t belong to someone on their own side, they were allowed to keep any equipment that they picked up . This meant that the players aiding Ruling Sword were picking up equipment like crazy .
“Stop picking up equipment and get ready to meet the enemies . Make sure to meet them at the entrance,” Lu Li yelled as he continued to pick up equipment .
“They are blocking the gap,” Unforgettable Maple was also yelling at the same time . These two men were saying these things, but their true intentions were betrayed by the fact that they were still picking up equipment .
Although there were many drops, most of them were rubbish . Yet the players were still picking up the equipment as they were afraid that their peers would have more than them . But it was even more shameless for the leaders to be doing something like that as well .
Fortunately, the aiding players weren’t just good at picking up equipment, but also at defence . After all, it wasn’t in their interests to let Glory Capital take the stronghold as well . If the Stronghold fell, then all the discounts that Lu Li promised wouldn’t mean anything .
Despite their defensive strength, they were still bound to lose some equipment . But if they won the Stronghold war, the spoils should be enough to recover their losses .
If you were lucky, you could even earn some money . For someone like Unforgettable Maple who had lost some of his armour, the Legendary weapon that he picked up could pay for the equipment that he lost .
Of course, Sorrowless wasn’t willing to accept defeat either . So, the longer the fight was drawn out, the more vicious the fighting got .
If they didn’t have the Ancient of Lore, the Stronghold probably would have been taken . If Lu Li hadn’t asked for help, and just relied on Ruling Sword’s defensive strength, they probably wouldn’t have survived either .
Sorrowless had already overestimated Ruling Sword’s strength, but he had no idea that Lu Li would ask for help and invite over 20 professional players .
In the end, Glory Capital still couldn’t capture the Stronghold .

Glory Capital had come in with 80 players, half of whom were selected from a pool of 200 players . This greatly affected their offensive strength .
As this fight came to an end, the other Stronghold battles had naturally also ended .
Lu Li first looked to find out what happened to the new Grey Valley Stronghold . He wasn’t worried about the Black Sea Coast Stronghold at all, as he had put Wandering in charge with a strong defensive line up, so there was no doubt that they could have held it .
In the place where it listed the new owners of the new Grey Valley Stronghold, Grand Hegemony was written .
Lu Li couldn’t help but clap his hands in joy . Now that the new Stronghold was held by Grand Hegemony, the entire Grey Valley was under his sphere of influence .
Although Lu Li wasn’t too charismatic, as long as he and Ruling Sword stood strong, he had no reason to believe that Grand Hegemony would betray them . Even if Grand Hegemony backed out from the deal, Lu Li had the strength to teach them a lesson at any time .
The joint forces of Drizzle Court and Peerless City had defeated Gale Legion, so they won Gale Legion’s Stronghold on the Stonetalon Mountains .
Fortunately, Gale Legion had held onto their Desolace Stronghold . Otherwise, the feeling of losing both Strongholds would have been crushing . Right now, Glory Capital had Stranglethorn Vale, Drizzle Court had Western Wilderness, Seventh Heaven had Tanaris, Blood Red War Flag had Hillsbrad Hills and Wings of Dawn had Thousand Needles . None of those Strongholds had changed . The only other change was in the Un’Goro Crater, where Gangnam Royals were not strong enough to defend it, so it was taken over by Blood Red War Flag .

This meant that Blood Red War Flag had successfully become a club that owned two Strongholds . However, Blood Red War Flag didn’t manage the capture of the new Stronghold in Hillsbrad Hills . Instead, the new owners were Glory Capital .
Glory Capital had started with two Strongholds and got another one . But this result was far from what Sorrowless had intended when he deployed his troops . According to the intention of his deployment, they should have acquired all of Grey Valley, and half of Hillsbrad Hills . In addition to their original Strongholds, it would have left them with six total Strongholds . But since Gale Legion lost one of their Strongholds, the whole operation turned out to be a loss overall .
This was the nature of Stronghold Wars, there were bound to be some happy people and some who met a less desirable fate .
Two weeks later, there was another round of the Stronghold War . But this time, there were no new Strongholds, just another modification to the Stronghold Wars .
The changes affected the player selection process . For the attacking party, the 40 players were now selected from a pool of 100 players instead of 200 . This meant that the attacking side’s strength would be more pronounced as they had a higher concentration of stronger players . The other change removed the Stronghold from the land . The Stronghold could now be stored by the club, so even if the battle was lost the club’s Stronghold still existed . Once they successfully conquered a new piece of land, they could re-establish the same Stronghold in that new location .
This was good news for both the offensive and defensive parties . The offensive party now felt more confidence in their attacks, and the stakes were lower for the defending party .
In this week’s Stronghold War, Lu Li decided to purely focus on defence .
This time, they defended quite easily as Glory Capital’s energy had been spent on attacking Azure Guard instead of Ruling Sword .

Azure Guard had previously taken Stranglethorn Vale from them, but Sorrowless was busy dealing with Lu Li so he couldn’t deal with them . He didn’t even look in their direction until then because he felt like he could take back the Stronghold at any time .
This much was true . Azure Guard didn’t have the defensive strength of Ruling Sword . Although they had also hired some help, they were still defeated by Glory Capital’s strong attack .
The other Strongholds didn’t change that much .
There was one, if it could be considered a change, where Blood Red War Flag and Seventh Heaven privately exchanged the Un’Goro Crater and Tanaris .
Two weeks later, the last Stronghold War was about to begin . This was just before level 70 was unlocked and it also released two new maps – The Hinterlands and the Arathi Highlands . Additional Strongholds were also released on the existing maps of Western Wilderness and Tanaris .
With four Strongholds being released at once, the officials obviously thought that the players didn’t have enough to do .
