The Great Thief Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696: 1696
Moonlight’s fight was soon resolved . Gaze had already lost a lot of HP climbing up the walls, so he ultimately wasn’t able to defeat Moonlight .
The strength of these two players was almost the same . However, after entering Ruling Sword, the exquisite equipment and Enhanced Skill Books obtained by Moonlight made him slightly stronger .
In the end, the result still affected both sides of the battle .
“Hey, I just saw that Gaze fell . Breezy bro was right – he didn’t come back from climbing up that wall,” Fat Monkey said as he smiled widely .
Lu Li glanced at him but didn’t say anything .
Sorrowless didn’t expect Gaze to play a big role, but he did achieve something . Many of Ruling Sword’s players had turned to Gaze, which reduced the intensity of the attacks on the chariots . This meant that Glory Capital had a better chance of attacking as they unloaded more artillery fire onto the walls .
This battle was destined to be an extremely fierce one .
When Glory Capital kept on pressing on at all costs, Ruling Sword could no longer passively defend the wall . Lu Li directed a group of ‘death squads’ to rush in and attack . They were successful as they destroyed two more chariots .
Glory Capital’s responded by using even more ladders as more teams rushed to the walls .
Ruling Sword’s chariots were originally fewer in number than Glory Capital, but after losing two chariots, the gap that had been closed was once again recreated .
Lu Li didn’t hesitate to initiate another wave of attacks . He personally led one of the teams this time .
Sorrowless certainly had no intention of giving up the opportunity to kill Lu Li and Lu Li knew this . His goal was to attract enough firepower so that his teammates could destroy another chariot .
Equipment being littered all over the battlefield was now a normal occurrence .

If equipment was lost, the players would use their spares, pick up someone else’s or kill a player to get one .
According to some commentators, this was one of the most brutal and evenly matched battles in the history of the Stronghold battles . Both sides had very high-quality equipment and both sides were willing to fight to the bitter end .
E-sports had never been a modest activity .
Since victory could only be attained by one of the two parties, the sides had to want the win and had to keep fighting until they could attain it .
Meanwhile, the other Stronghold battles were also just as fierce .
On the one hand, the intensity was partly driven by economics and also partly driven by the desire to secure more Strongholds . When the fighting got intense, the players only saw other players as either enemies or comrades .
However, Lu Li and Sorrowless weren’t just commanders .
At this time, there was no need for any complicated orders . One party just wanted to break open the wall and the other wanted to stop them from doing that .
“Monkey, calm down . You’ve already died five times!” Lu Li yelled at Fat Monkey as he rushed forwards .
This guy had a violent temperament and the environment stoked his temper such that he was caught in a blinding cycle of killing and dying . There was probably no semblance of reason left in that guy’s mind .
Fire Mages were not suitable for charging and Lu Li really needed him to be within the walls .
In fact, Moonlight had also died several times, but he had more spare equipment that also had good attributes . You might think that Moonlight wasn’t someone that cared about equipment, but he cared about it more than anyone else . Lu Li knew this too because he knew that the equipment that Moonlight wore into these battles was not his best .

But because he had been in more Stronghold battles and was killing more people than anyone else, Lu Li turned a blind eye to him .
Lu Li finally experienced his first death .
Sorrowless personally chased down Lu Li and Blood Daggered appeared behind him . They finally killed Lu Li today .
Those who stood by the river should expect to get wet . Dawn wasn’t the kind of game where a single person could fight 100 people . Lu Li wasn’t too worried that he had died, but the fact that he had dropped his Nightslayer Cloak was a bit upsetting .
Nightslayer Cloak (Exquisite Epic): Armour 115, Agility +120, Strength +60, Special Effect 1: 20% bonus Movement Speed, Special Effect 2: Poison Master, increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 20% and increases the non-damage effects by 10% . Special Effect 3: Strengthen Cloak, whenever the user uses Shadow Cloak’s effect, the user will regenerate 3% HP for each effect that is nullified by it . Equipment Requirements: Level 60, Durability: 320/ 320 .
Now, he understood what it felt like to be killed and have his equipment taken away .
It was an Exquisite Epic, which was a little better than an ordinary Epic item . It was also an item that Lu Li had been reluctant to change out .
“Haha, you finally got what you deserved,” Azure Sea Breeze laughed loudly . His voice was filled with gloating . This made Lu Li, who had just revived, even more upset . It seemed like Lu Li was now going to be even more harsh to Azure Sea Breeze in the future so that he could forget this pain .
“Breezy, don’t just stand there smiling . You still have so much HP – charge in . ”
“Screw you, I have a legendary weapon . What if I lose it?”
Azure Sea Breeze didn’t think that Lu Li would enact his revenge so soon . Azure Sea Breeze thought Lu Li was quite childish .
“What, you actually brought the legendary weapon to the battle?”
Lu Li was shocked and his voice was high pitched . This was the non-private chat so it could be heard throughout the Stronghold Battlefield . Everyone heard it .
“Hey, shouldn’t you bring your strongest equipment in?” Azure Sea Breeze subconsciously shot back, unaware of what had just happened .
In his opinion, if everyone didn’t come in with their best equipment, then their defensive strength would be 20% less than what it could be . If that was the case, they should just surrender .
There were some people who saw right through Lu Li’s sinister intentions, and were already feeling sorry for Azure Sea Breeze .
Normally, Azure Sea Breeze couldn’t be killed by just a few players in PVP . The other players had four to five thousand HP while his total HP exceeded ten thousand . His defence was also two or three times that of most players and he had a lot of damage reduction skills .
With the firepower needed to kill him, you could kill three to five Lonesome Flowers .
Coupled with the healers constantly healing him, it was even harder to kill him .
As such, no one really wanted to fight him, especially since he moved slowly and had the same attack power as most people . He wasn’t much of a threat to the Glory Capital players .
But now, it was different…
The words ‘Legendary Equipment’ had attracted everyone’s attention . Sorrowless was no exception . Legendary weapons couldn’t even be bought right now .
According to Lu Li’s estimate, even a giant such as Sorrowless didn’t necessarily have a Legendary equipment .

In The Maw Of The Gods
Synopsis Lilly Harper was always the type to keep to herself. She struggled to make friendships and so, she simply opted not to. That was why moving to the coastal town of Wilham didn’t bother her. She wasn’t leaving anybody behind and she certainly didn’t expect to be making any friends any time soon. However, when she starts hearing about the school’s “Magic Club”—a group of weirdos who claim that magic is real, she can’t deny that she’s slightly intrigued. Then without warning, she suddenly finds herself wrapped up with them. And what if they aren’t crazy? What if magic is actually real? And what if it’s because of that magic that something more powerful than they could ever conceive of is drawn to Wilham? I plan to follow a release schedule of Tuesday/Friday. Average chapter length will be 4,000 to 6,000 words and I will be using multiple POV's quite often. Also to note, while I am flagging the story with content warnings, I am only doing so because there are specific moments where it will be needed. Overall, the story will be relatively tame and I plan to put extra warnings at the beginning of chapters that it applies to. Thank you to everybody who decides to give my story a chance and I hope you enjoy it!
