Chapter 1869: Hosting Guests

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The two Infernals delayed Ruling Sword’s attack, but once Fat Monkey and Azure Sea Breeze returned to the fight with the Fel Reavers, the battle became quite one-sided .

Sorrowless’ eyebrows wrinkled as he sighed silently .

He just needed two more periods to integrate new defensive capabilities . By then, no one would dare to attack him like they were doing now .

Lu Li didn’t know what Sorrowless was thinking, and even if he knew, he would probably be taunting him .

When a guild owned six Strongholds and did not have good macro control, their general defence was bound to be weakened, which would make the outcome of these battles uncertain .

Stranglethorn Vale had changed hands as Ruling Sword became the new owners .

The Stronghold that Glory Capital had built there had been removed, and Ruling Sword could now place one of their existing Strongholds there or create a new one .

The pressure from Ruling Sword meant that the defences of the other Strongholds had been diluted by a lot . Blood Red War Flag also managed to recapture their Stronghold from Glory Capital . They had finally regained the Hillsbrad Hills, and the other one now remained in the hands of Gale Legion .

As a result, Glory Capital only had four of its six Strongholds left . They had lost two in this Stronghold War .

No one knew how Sorrowless was feeling .

Drizzle Court and Ruling Sword had many players attacking them, but these were weak small to medium guilds . They were entranced by the possibility of victory but ultimately defeated on the battlefield . In the end, they lost their money and their equipment .

Thousand Needles, which was co-owned by Majin Temple and Gods of Dusk for only two periods, had been captured by Azure Guard .

In any case, Azure Guard was definitely strong enough that there were few Strongholds that could defend against them . Everyone knew that they were bound to gain one eventually; it was just a matter of whether they were unlucky .

Azure Guard had held Arathi Highlands for only one period before it was taken by Stellar Union .

From Lu Li’s professional perspective, he could see and understand things that most players couldn’t . Azure Guard hadn’t bothered defending their Stronghold, and instead chose to pursue a new one .

In this Stronghold War, Ruling Sword and Blood Red War Flag were the biggest winners .

They had both pried a Stronghold from Glory Capital grasp . Blood Red War Flag was now a guild with multiple Strongholds, with one in Hillsbrad Hills and another in Desolace .

The question of who would face Glory Capital’s vengeance the next week was a hot topic of discussion .

The guilds that had been eager to use Ruling Sword as a stepping stone had also calmed down .

However, Lu Li was very disappointed about this . He had been looking forward to standing on a tower in Stormwind City and lamenting about how he had been bullied .

Someone did come, not to attack him, but to give him money . It was Wings of Dawn; they obviously had not yet calmed down from the previous excitement .

“Hey, why didn’t Elevenless come?” Lu Li asked as he sat crossed-legged on his seat . He was seated in a luxurious club while pretending to appear casual . However, he was actually quite distressed because he had booked this place for four hours and all the food and drinks had cost him tens of thousands in real money .

“He doesn’t want to see you . Isn’t this the first time you’re hosting?” Dream 13 asked . He was sitting across from Lu Li .

“Hey, what’s up with his attitude? He is acting like a child . This isn’t an ideal situation for having a conversation,” Lu Li said, trying to rile up the other person .

“Don’t waste my time with this talk . Just name your price – how much for Stranglethorn Vale!” Dream 13 questioned as he waved his hands . “We have to get this Stronghold . ”

Stranglethorn Vale was one of Dawn’s largest Strongholds . It had rich produce and beautiful surroundings . No matter what level you reached, this place would never be deserted . The large Instance Dungeons like Zul’gurub here also guaranteed that there would always be high traffic .

In a sense, it was a better than Grey Valley and the Black Sea Coast .

Unfortunately, Lu Li had other ambitions and hoped to one day occupy the Elf capital city .

The Fel Reavers would be nerfed sooner or later, which would affect either their strength or durability . At the very least, they would no longer be an overpowered force that could fight on their own . The rise of Ruling Sword actually broke the balance that Lu Li had in memory and the impact of the Fel Reavers was much more exaggerated .

The Infernals had been weakened, so why would the Fel Reavers be left unscathed?

The next update to the Stronghold Wars would also make defence a lot more difficult, so it was definitely not a good idea to retain too many Strongholds . Selling was definitely the better option for Lu Li .

As for who the buyer could be, Wings of Dawn was certainly not the only option .

However, they were the first option .

They were the first option because they currently didn’t have a Stronghold . As a guild that

could beat Ruling Sword, not having a Stronghold was just ridiculous .

The second reason was because Wings of Dawn had money to spend . Dream 13 and Elevenless were part of two separately rich families . They had also taken many capital injections . If you only measured by this metric, they were even better than Glory Capital .

The third reason was because Wings of Dawn wanted to go public . Or, perhaps it was more accurate to say that all of these old large guilds wanted to go public .

However, with no Strongholds to your name, how would you convince the investors to believe in your strength? After all, these investors were also playing the game .

As for any other potential candidates, Lu Li had also sent them a message .

“You can have it for 200 million and 20% of the Stronghold’s income for each period,” Lu Li offered with a smile .

“Who are you fooling? You’re asking for 200 million and you still want income from each period? Do you think you have a Stronghold that is filled with gold?”

“If you don’t want it…then leave,” Lu Li retorted without a change in his facial expression .

“Wow, you’re actually ruthless . ”

Of course, Dream 13 wouldn’t just lave . He sat back down and started talking more reasonably .

“But the price is too high . Please elaborate on this price . ”

“In three minutes, Jade Flower Lover will come in . Thirteen minutes after that, Unforgettable Maple will be here . Don’t think that you’re the only one I’m hosting,” Lu Li reminded .

“Okay, you have a of clients, but you want us to buy it, right?”

Dream 13 felt a headache coming on . He knew that Lu Li wasn’t kidding as there was a real chance that Jade Flower Lover would buy it .

“Yeah, why don’t you already have a Stronghold?” Lu Li shrugged .

“200 million is acceptable, but 20% of the profits is too much . How about we give you 250 million and you give up the second clause?” Dream 13 offered . He had to serious consider Lu Li’s price .

“300 million in one lump sum . Otherwise, I can’t accept it . ”

Lu Li had turned into an auntie at the markets . He had mentally rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Dream 13 for a hundred rounds .

Dream 13 thought about it before nodding decisively .

“Okay, we’ll take it then . ”
