    How could Lu Li let them run away!?


    Of course, he wasn’t going to personally stop them. It wasn’t that he was incapable, but he didn’t want to expose himself. In fact, a Thief actually had the advantage in a fight like this as no one would be able to catch him in such a chaotic environment.


    He quickly pulled together a group who were tasked with stopping yers who were trying to leave.


    Glory Capital was stuck in a bitter fight to the end. Whenever someone died, even a professional yer, they had no choice but to revive in the city. In these circumstances, there was no way they would be battle-resurrected.


    The worst part wasn’t the EXP loss. After the System Update, even if no one revived them, they would only lose 5% of their EXP, which could easily be re-farmed.


    The worst part was dropping their equipment. Most of these high-level yers had Epic equipment. Although the probability of dropping an Epic item was very low, Dark Gold items were still quite valuable. If they lost those items, not only would it cost them financially, but it would also cost them when fighting in professional matches.


    Lu Linded on the ground and transformed inconspicuously as he quietly lurked near Sorrowless and the others.


    He was nning was looting the bodies and grabbing the equipment. If he could, he would take Sorrowless’ weapon, but Lu Li knew that was almost impossible.


    Sorrowless furious and his whole body was almost trembling.


    However, this wasn’t something that he hadn’t faced before in all his years of leading. He quickly adjusted his strategy, ordering his yers to form a defence and quickly pull out the Boss from underground.


    The Ruins of Srsal had three Naga Bosses – a Mage, Priest and Warrior. This was a typical fightingposition, also arguably the most difficultbination of Bosses between level 55 and 60. They had attempted to defeat these three Bosses, but failed to take even 20% of their HP bars and lost many yers in the process. They decided to hold off on fighting them, but in the face of this attack, Sorrowless thought pull these Bosses into the fight.


    He was obviously trying to take down the attackers with him, and ensure that everyone else died too.


    Lu Li remotely directed the Blood Red War g yers to surround Sorrowless and warned them about his ns..


    The Glory Capital yers were luck because they had received advance notice about the Boss, but the Blood Red War g yers were not so lucky as arge wave of yers were pushed back. The nearly one-sided battle had now been dramatically turned around.


    Lu Li carefully picked an item that had been dropped by someone.


    The quality of that Dark Gold item made Lu Li quite satisfied. It was likely that the original owner would have been quite satisfied with item too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have Fortified a Dark Gold item three times. He had also inserted a very exquisite gem into it. The Enchanting likely would have cost a lot as well.


    Of course, this was possible for the Glory Capital’s yers as the guild was rich and a lot of money was spent on the core Elite yers.


    Just like Lu Li, there were other yers all over the field picking up items from both Glory Capital and Blood Red War g. Lu Li was a little worried that he would be a target, so he didn’t dare to take too many items too quickly.


    “Boss, these are Blood Red War g’s yers. I just saw Jade Flower Lover,” someone reported, having finally worked out who their enemy was.


    “We’ll settle this with them in the evening. Let’s get out of here. Thieves, go scout out the area and get some other yers to pick up the equipment with me,” Sorrowless ordered as he grit his teeth. There was nothing he could do about his anger right now.


    He had long suspected it would be Blood Red War g, but their club normally wasn’t this strong, nor were they this disciplined. He wondered how they managed to quietly sneak into the valley to ambush them.


    “I have sent you Sorrowless’ coordinates. Don’t let him escape,” Lu Li said to the Little Thief.


    Sorrowless, White Westhill and a number of other professional yers were running from the battlefield as quickly as they could with the protection of some other yers. There should have been arge number of their guild members heading towards them.


    The number of yers present yed a major role in this battle.


    Many of Glory Capital’s yers were already at level 55 and were wearing level 55 equipment, but they were still killed by yers who were lower levelled them than them. Even Thieves that tried to use Gale Steps couldn’t get away. Lu Li looked at the momentum of the fighting and moved towards the periphery of the area.


    Sorrowless was stopped near the exit as arge number of Blood Red War g yers came in and cut off thest hope that they had left.


    What followed was a terrible battle. The Glory Capital yers were eventually all killed, but Blood Red War g also paid the price. In addition to their opponent’s counterattack, sthey were also facing the wrath of the three Bosses. Blood Red War g had the most yers present, so they naturally lost the most yers to the Bosses.


    In fact, this was the ideal oue for Lu Li.


    Allowing one strong party to fight another strong party was ideal, as both would be weakened.


    Lu Li initially estimated that even if the Blood Red War g yers could kill all 3000 of the Glory Capital yers, they would lose at least 3000 of their own yers. Moreover, as the battle raged on, the reinforcements of both sides were desperately trying to enter the valley and get involved.


    In the end, the fate of Sorrowless and the others turned on one piece of information.


    The yers of Glory Capital had noticed that Blood Red War g’s yers were not reducing before discovering where they wereing from.


    Lu Li was rushing around grabbing pieces of equipment before sneaking back into the crowds.


    No one knew who this masked yer was, but it didn’t matter as they would just cast their skills at him. If he died, then they knew he was an enemy. If he didn’t, they knew he was an ally.


    Lu Li, who was lucky enough to escape, was sweating. He took a few breaths before taking out the equipment he had just grabbed, which belonged to White Westhill. He was focus-fired by several yers as he was protecting Sorrowless. When he finally ran out of mana, he died in the next chaotic exchange of skills.


    This was the equipment of a star yer, which Lu Li had been keeping an eye out for.


    What he ended up fidning did not disappoint. It was indeed an Epic item and it was level 60 too. This was a much better item than what March Rain had, which made Lu Li reconsider the standard of equipment of Glory Capital.


    If he had just dropped an Epic, how many Epics did White Westhill have?
