“Stellar Union has appeared.”

This message came from the frontline, but Lu Li wasn’t surprised by it at all.

Compared to Glory Capital, Stellar Union was much more competitive and always showed up in faction wars.

“Find someone to write on world channel; say to come kill Hordes in East Plaguelands.”

Lu Li directed his team members to scatter and save those who had fallen. He also commanded some guild members to help with the situation through world channel. The most effective method at the moment was to drag other Alliance guilds into the situation.

Square Root 3 quickly had some players complete this task. They were all random players from the outside and were all good at talking.

Some even broadcasted the entire situation and specified which guilds had joined the battle.

Those Alliance guilds who stood around to watch couldn’t sit still anymore. They had no reason to clean up the mess that Ruling Sword had made.

However, as the situation worsened, they had to stand up.

Many were questioning why Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court and Peerless City were the only ones standing up for everyone, while the other Alliance guilds remained passive.

Some major guilds explained that Ruling Sword were the ones who had caused trouble because they fought a Horde NPC. Why should people sort out their own problem? However, this kind of talk was quickly shot down, because everyone thought it was a glorious thing for Alliance members to kill a Horde NPC.

The battle spread far and wide. Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court had successfully blocked the Horde forces out of their defense line.

Nathanos Blightcaller’s health dropped quickly, but his few skills also continuously killed members of Lu Li’s team. In order to prevent everyone from dying too often, Lu Li had players take turns to sacrifice themselves. There were so many in the team anyway.

He himself had died once too and had to stand far away, somewhere where he wouldn’t be impacted by the battle.

“We’re the forgotten ones. We’ve been casted out by our Alliance, hated by the living, but our enemy is the Scourge,” Nathanos Blighcaller sighed.

“In the days without the holy light and the church, only the Queen remains true. May all Scourge return to peace.”

After uttering his line, Nathanos Blightcaller fell helplessly.

He was strong, but he couldn’t do much with all the reinforcements that Ruling Sword had.

“Dreamy, take the loot. Mages, douse the area with spells.”

The moment Nathanos Blightcaller fell, Lu Li was quick to take action. He believed that there would be Horde Thieves hiding, considering they were fighting a Wild Boss with forty men.

Surely, three Thieves made their appearance as the Mages blanketed the area with their AoE spells.

“That way?” Azure Sea Breeze asked.

He wasn’t good with PVP, but he liked these kinds of situations, so he was quick to rush out.

“We can’t leave now; we’ll have to run through them,” Lu Li said as he shook his head.

“Alright, I’ll go over now.”

Azure Sea Breeze was happy and posed as if he was ready to charge in bravely. Unfortunately, he had been stopped by Lu Li before he could take any action.

“If you want to go in, change your equipment first. If you lose any of the Legendary items on you, you’ll be really upset for sure.”

“That’d be so boring,” Azure Sea Breeze whined.

“I wouldn’t even charge in myself in these kinds of battles. Stop trying to be a hero; do you really think you can’t die?” Lu Li tried his best to convince him.

“Moonlight already charged in. Why didn’t you stop him?” Azure Sea Breeze asked defensively, feeling sorry for himself.

Lu Li couldn’t deny that it was dangerous for Moonlight to charge in too. However, he was much better at surviving in these battles than Azure Sea Breeze and rarely died on record.

Lu Li didn’t join in the battle alone either. He was now an executive of Ruling Sword and had to take responsibility for his position.

In terms of directing a large-scale battle, Lu Li wasn’t as skilled as Sorrowless, but he didn’t fear the situation. Thing always had to be learnt gradually; he believed Sorrowless probably wasn’t even as competent as he was on the first time.

Remnant Dream had already finished looting and none of the Thieves managed to lay their hands on anything.

Besides the level 55 Legendary cape, there were another two Dark Gold equips. The cape was given to Remnant Dream, while the two equips were passed to Water Fairy.

There was also a special item for changing classes to Dark Ranger. Hunter classes could use the item to change to a Dark Ranger when talking to Nathanos Blightcaller. The downside was that after this item was used, the player would instantly become one of the Forgotten Ones, which was an Undead race of the Horde.

Besides the usual description, Nathanos Blightcaller also left behind a few words of his own:

“That beautiful figure glowed under the sunlight of Silvermoon city, like an untouched Goddess.

I cannot see clearly through the bright sunlight, but I felt something quickly grow in my chest, a tingling feeling with the slightest hint of pain, as if something erupted from my heart and flowed into every single one of my veins.”

He secretly admired his Ranger teacher, Queen Sylvanas, but this seemed normal. Back in the days, Nathanos represented the Human race to visit the High Elves. He gained the favor of the Windrunner and successfully became the only Human ranger. Sylvanas was already beautiful back when she was a High Elf. It was only normal for Nathanos to fall in love somewhere during the process.

Under the control of the Scourge, he seemed as if he had no choice, but he was thrilled to be able to join his Queen.

Queen Sylvanas seemed to be happy with her follower and called him the most loyal warrior.

It seemed like this could only be sold for money. Lu Li wasn’t keen to see his own Hunters run to the opposing faction.

Dark Rangers seemed appealing, but they were still part of the Hunter class. At the very most, they could learn a few Dark Ranger skills from Nathanos Blightcaller, but the other skills would all be from the Hunter tree and they would still wear Hunter equipment. Dawn didn’t truly have a Dark Ranger class.

The faction war lasted for hours, and even though both sides fought, they still held back. If someone died once from Ruling Sword, they would leave the war. The situation would probably be the same for Sorrowless’ side.
