Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441: Battling Until They Dare Not Battle

Li Yao’s words caused a change in expression among all the leaders present.

The leading Dwarf’s eyes turned red as he roared, “Nonsense, it wasn’t us who betrayed the Titans, it was the Titans who betrayed us.”

“Once, in a distant era, our ancestors fought bloody battles for them, countless ancestors died on the cruel battlefield. Even though they created us, even though they taught us the sparks of civilization. But haven’t we repaid enough? For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors have guarded this place. But one day, the Curse of Flesh took its toll, our ancestors aged and died, and we are still trapped here.”

“Thousands of years ago, we sent a group of our people with all our might, they promised to rescue us one day, but thousands of years have passed, what have we waited for? Nothing but endless solitude, forever and ever, living in this dark and dreary hell. Our people, even in their entire lives, do not know what green plants are, they do not know what warm sunlight is, nor do they know what the bright moon is. We hate! Hate! Hate!”

Li Yao sighed, not just them, any creature trapped in a Titan city eventually becomes corrupted by the ancient gods, isn’t it all because of this?

“Even so, this is not a reason for you to become the minions of the ancient gods. The ancient gods want to destroy the world, the world that your ancestors gave their lives to protect.”

The leading Dwarf laughed loudly, “So what? Rather than letting unrelated people enjoy the prosperity of this world, rather than letting those treacherous traitors wander freely outside, rather than letting my people continue to languish in this dark, hellish place forever, it’s better to destroy this pitiful world that we can never have.”

Li Yao shook his head slightly, knowing that this Dwarf could no longer be recruited, as he had completely degenerated, turned into an utter madman by the whispers of the ancient gods, thinking only of world destruction, which left Li Yao unable to retort. Originally, seeing that it was a Dwarf, he wanted to try recruiting, but now it seemed impossible.

Compared to Li Yao’s plan, the members of Starfire were gleaming with excitement, having barely seen any bosses until now, and suddenly encountering five or six, what a thrill.

More importantly, in real mode, the bosses’ health points are fixed, they do not change according to the player team’s situation.

Finally, they can fight bosses for equipment drops, how could they not be excited.

Having ascertained the reality of their opponents, Li Yao had no interest in discussing life with them anymore, but instead said, “You few appearing outside the battle formation wouldn’t just want to spout this nonsense, speak, what do you want, lay out your terms.”

The leading Dwarf controlled his crazed expression and nodded, “I’ve heard that this batch of new recruits is very capable and battle-hardy, so my brothers and I would like to learn a thing or two, to see the prowess of outsiders. I wonder if you dare to compete, of course, if you don’t dare, there’s nothing to it, we will immediately return to the battle formation, and if you want to enter the real city, then you must first break through our line of defense.”

Everyone suddenly realized, this was a choice. If they accept the challenge, then under reasonable rules, killing bosses will drop adventure equipment, if they do not want to challenge, then the opponents will return to the battle formation, and killing them will probably drop war equipment.

However, whether to accept the challenge or not, both had its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of not accepting the challenge is that there is no risk, as long as properly protected, the team members would not suffer losses. Keep in mind, if the challenge leads to destruction, there wouldn’t even be a chance to revive.

Even though one can be revived in battle, each player can only be revived once, dying more than once means elimination.

While accepting the challenge also had its benefits, these bosses were heroes, if they returned to the battle formation, it would greatly enhance the enemy Legion’s combat strength. Killing them in battle would reduce the enemy’s Hero Aura bonus.

Of course, the disadvantages were also clear, players’ deaths not only result in elimination but also affect the number of reserve Legions that could be summoned.

The enchantress looked at Li Yao and asked, “What do you think, shall we fight?”

Li Yao nodded, “Of course we will fight, how do you want to battle?”

Li Yao was very confident in the skills of the Starfire Team members; the opponents had a few bosses, with the weakest being mid-level leaders and the strongest only mid-level Race leaders. All members of the Starfire Core Group were already leader-level, and many had reinforced their essence through competitions and special contributions to the guild, naturally fearless.

“That’s exhilarating,” the Dwarf laughed. “As for the rules, it’s a battle of Heroes, we fight until one side dares not to enter the battle anymore. What do you think?”

“That sounds excellent. I am Li Yuan, the President of Starfire Guild, General of Dark Camp, and Commander of High Elf Legion, waiting for your guidance.” Li Yao bowed.

The ancient Dwarf also bowed and said, “I am Sotour, General 165 from Earth Spirit Kingdom. Please, General Li Yuan, honor me with your guidance.”

Both men bowed politely and then laughed together.

Sotour roared, “General Li Yuan is also a straightforward man. Naturally, we cannot be vague. Who will fight first and learn from General Li Yuan’s tactics?”

“My Goblin Engineer Lala’er, who dares to battle me?”

As soon as Sotour finished speaking, a Goblin driving a rune motorcycle charged forward.

This Goblin wasn’t the ordinary Goblin with green skin but had black skin and blood-red eyes, not skinny and frail like the surface Goblins, but muscular. If not for his ears, he could easily be mistaken for an ancient Dwarf.

“I, I, I will go, big brother,” Tongtong rushed to speak.

The other members, who were eager to try, suddenly refrained from volunteering. No one wanted to compete with a child, especially since Tongtong’s fighting capability was widely recognized.

Although young, her true combat strength ranked among the top in the guild, not just because of her relationship with Sister Li or because she knew Li Yao and others and joined the core team early.

Li Yao nodded, “Give Tongtong buffs.”

Immediately, all team members with support skills unleashed them onto Tongtong, and in an instant, over a dozen enhancement buffs landed on Tongtong, lighting her up.

“Starfire Elder, Camp Major, the naive Tongtong, please enlighten me,” Tongtong summoned a Cave dweller and walked to the center of the field.

“Hehe, so it’s a surface race member. Good, let me see how strong the surface Goblins are. But you’re so frail; I’m really afraid that I might accidentally smash you into a meat pie,” black Goblin Lala’er chuckled strangely.

“Hmph, if you want to know my tactics, then come at me,” Tongtong tapped the Cave dweller with her toe, and the Cave dweller roared and madly charged towards black Goblin Lala’er.

Lala’er also suddenly twisted the throttle, and the rune motorcycle spewed a plume of black smoke, charging forward with the black Goblin like a sharp arrow…
