The Great Thief - Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Lu Li snatched the flag while Moonlight and Fat Monkey were guarding him . In that moment, both the Alliance and the Horde had the flag of their opponents .

This was not an uncommon situation in the Warsong Canyon . Dawn stipulated that in such a situation, your own flag needed to be in place before you could place the stolen flag to score .

This meant that Lu Li had to take back their own flag .

Lu Li didn’t get to acquire the 100% speed buff this time as he wasn’t alone; it was safer to travel in a group anyway .

The moment the three of them rushed out, they were immediately intercepted .

When it came to players like Gaze, it was unrealistic to think that they could suppress them at the Cemetery .

Lu Li didn’t just run away this time . This wasn’t because he was afraid of being outnumbered, but because he saw Gaze sitting on a Headless Paladin Warhorse . He hadn’t dismounted and was waiting for Lu Li to run .

In Dawn, once you entered the battlefield, you could no longer summon your mount .

As long as a he never got off the mount, or he wasn’t knocked off the mount, Gaze could keep riding it for as long as he wanted .

Lu Li’s movement speed was faster than most players, but he wasn’t as fast as Gaze’s Warhorse .

It was better for him to fight properly than to hope to catch him sooner or later . As such, he was only going to consider escape after he had dismounted . You couldn’t fight from the top of the warhorse anyway, so Lu Li didn’t believe that he would stay mounted .

His target was Wendelian .

This female Priest’s PVP technique was quite good; she easily made Moonlight’s attacks futile .

Lu Li rushed towards the Priest, but before he could even attack, he was hit by an area-of-effect Fear . She was obviously expecting his attack .

"Aren’t you ashamed to bully a girl?" Wendelian was even in the mood to ridicule him .

She was quick, but so was Lu Li .

Shadow Cloak!

The Fear was lifted and for the next few seconds, Lu Li was immune to any other negative statuses .

However, Lu Li only got to hit her twice before he was intercepted by Gaze . Lu Li didn’t avoid his Charge, so he was stunned on the spot .

Badge!

The stun instantly disappeared and Lu Li slashed at Gaze with his Corrupted Fang, successfully applying a slow . He then turned towards Wendelian and continued to deal damage .

In a fight like this, Lu Li and the other two were at a disadvantage because their opponents had a healer .

Even so, it would be unrealistic for Gaze to beat Lu Li’s group quickly . These three were star players – Lu Li and Moonlight had even achieved countless First Clears which meant they had much stronger equipment .

Suddenly, the System announced something that broke the deadlock .

The Alliance Flag had been dropped, which meant that the Horde had lost the flag .

"Everyone attack Lu Li! Stop him!" Gaze Shouted .

Could they make it in time?

Of course not – Lu Li had already started sprinting and had left them in a cloud of dust .

Gaze charged a second time and stunned Moonlight in place . Fat Monkey then turned to the crowd and cast a Frost Nova . Tendrils of frost spread all around him, freezing anyone who touched them .

This area of effect crowd control skill had been useless until this moment .

The Horde players that were frozen in place could only watch as Lu Li got further away .

The first flag they stole was successful and the System told them they had gained a point . However, they were still a long way away from victory . The Goddess of Luck wasn’t only on their side either, as on their second attempt, they made a mistake which resulted in Lu Li being surrounded and killed .

The battle continued to be a stalemate .

1-1, 1-2, 2-2 .

Now, they were 15 minutes into fighting for the third flag .

"Moonlight and Breezy, you guys take the lead . March Rain, you follow them . Everyone else, keep up the pressure at the line . Cain’s Left Hand, you and I will steal the flag," Lu Li instructed as he began to lay out new tactics .

In the defeat that they had just experienced, both sides had suffered heavy losses, so they couldn’t grab the flag .

The opposing team was just too strong . Other than the three Gale Legion players, the others were part of the Peacetime Dynasty’s core group . They had clearly struck some agreement that gave the Gale Legion players authority .

"Do I still protect our base?" Xiao Xiang asked .

Lu Li hesitated before shaking his head and saying, "You don’t need to protect the base; follow Fat Monkey and the others . Fight with them for the first wave, then quickly head back to kill whoever is taking the flag . "

They had suffered a defeat in the last round, so there was probably going to be more than one or two players going for their flag . It was pointless for him to defend alone .

The most important thing was to anticipate unexpected results from certain tactics . If your midfield was strong enough to steamroll, they could just turn around and kill whoever was stealing the flag .

With two Thieves stealing the flag, Lu Li planned to do a relay .

They snuck into the Horde’s Flag room and explored the area carefully .

There was a Druid upstairs and Mage Cloudy Leaf downstairs – these were the two players protecting the flag . Their midfield players were probably not very strong, and they had likely sent more players to steal the flag .

"I’ll stun the Mage, you stun the Druid . On the count of three, Sap them, take the flag and run . Wait for me to catch up to you and then pass the flag to me," Lu Li decided .

In reality, as long as the Druid was Sapped, the two Thieves could easily kill the Cloth Armor Mage .

However, Cloudy Leaf wasn’t an ordinary player . He didn’t have weak equipment and definitely had damage reduction abilities .

If they took long for the kill, the midfield players would pull back and the outcome would be a tragedy .

"3, 2, 1…"

Sap!

Lu Li ignored the flag and immediately casted Gale Steps . He rushed towards the dead end where the ‘shoes’ were, while Cain’s Left Hand jumped from the second floor, pulled out the flag and sprinted out with it .

Their teamwork was quite coordinated .

By the time Cain’s Left Hand’s Sprint skill ended, Lu Li had already caught up to him .

Cain’s Left Hand stopped to put the flag on the ground, but Lu Li didn’t stop running . He had rushed out of the base and headed straight here, so the shoes’ effect wasn’t over…

The players that had tried to intercept them were lagging behind . As for Cain’s Left Hand, he could go into Stealth after dropping the flag, but he charged at the enemies like a moth attracted to fire .

He was going to buy a little bit of time .

The other players had also stolen the flag . Lu Li was aware of this as he had long since received the notification and could see the Thief that was holding it .

The other Thief also saw Lu Li .

The player was very self-aware and immediately tried to go past Lu Li when he saw him, but with Lu Li’s skills, his efforts were fruitless .

He had used Gale Steps to acquire the shoes, but he still had Sprint .

The other Thief also casted Sprint, but he didn’t have any other move speed buffs and could only helplessly watch as Lu Li closed in . Because of their speed difference, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to .

The two Thieves attacked each other, but no one was close enough to help .

Lu Li’s superiority was clear . The Shard of the Defiler he had could deal high damage, but his only regret was that the Supreme Ring didn’t have the vampirism effect . Otherwise, the other Thief would have had no hope at all .

The first supporter to arrive was Moonlight .

After some fighting, his HP wasn’t very high, but he had rushed over nonetheless .

"You go," Moonlight said, getting straight to the point .

Lu Li didn’t say anything and left Moonlight who was at critical HP to kill the Thief who was also at critical HP . He sprinted straight for his base and put his faith in Moonlight .
