Green Fanatic was getting ready to take action, but he noticed that Yu weize suddenly stopped in his tracks.
With a puzzled expression, he asked, “Master, is there a problem somewhere?”
Right now, there might be a problem everywhere.
Yu Weize looked his green disciple up and down and suddenly had an idea. “I have something to attend to, so I’m temporarily leaving. I’ll leave today’s command task to you.”
Green Fanatic stared wide-eyed at the commander’s badge that had suddenly appeared on him and exclaimed, “Oh no, Master, why are you giving me the team? I’ve never commanded before!”
“It’s okay, just play around with it. Call ‘charge‘ when you think it’s time, and if you feel like you can’t win, shout ‘retreat.’ It’s really simple,” Yu Weize explained briefly and added, “Practice makes perfect; you can do it.”
Green Fanatic: “?”
Green Fanatic: “I can’t!”
However, Yu Weize left no room for refusal. Without waiting for a response, he quickly left the team.
Green Fanatic: “…”
The speed at which he left, it feels like he couldn’t wait to distance himself from them.
Green Fanatic watched as question marks flooded the team channel after Yu Weize left. He cleared his throat and said, “It’s alright, Master has his own plans and will be back soon. For now, listen to me, and everything will be fine!”
Recalling Yu Weize’s instructions before he left the team, he confidently said, “Let’s start by charging all of the Night Raider team members!”
On the other side, Yu Weize had already disappeared after leaving the team.
He was heading towards the coordinates of the Madman Tait’s location.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shi and seven others, each holding seven silver coins, were crouching in the reeds, observing.
From this angle, they could clearly see that Madman Tait’s health had dropped below 20%. In the third stage, under the Night Raider team’s continuous damage output, he was approaching the 10% red health line.
What Pen Carries Fragrance swallowed nervously and said, “If we wait any longer, the Night Raider team will take him down. Shouldn’t we act?”
Jiang Shi maintained his calm tone, “Not yet, be patient, wait.”
What Pen Carries Fragrance didn’t seem to understand, “We’ve been waiting for so long, what are we waiting for?”
Jiang Shi smiled quietly and repeated, “Our numbers are not in our favor; let’s wait a little longer.”
Indeed, the lack of numbers was a harsh reality.
According to the principle of free entry and exit, their team now only had seven members, including him and Deep Well Ice Player. They couldn’t compete with the Night Raider team, which had nearly a full team’s worth of members.
Because it was impossible to forcefully seize the boss, they had to be patient and wait.
As they watched Madman Tait’s health drop below 15%, the previously calm reed area suddenly became lively.
Two groups suddenly emerged from the reeds, having apparently been waiting for the right moment. Without hesitation, they charged and began fighting.
What Pen Carries Fragrance exclaimed, “Wow, there are other guilds waiting here too?!”
The island forest had apparently never been involved in boss fights like this before, and experiencing it for the first time was exciting. “Wow, this is thrilling!”
When Jiang Shi had previously gathered information, he had already noticed the movements of these two medium-sized guilds. Seeing the area around Madman Tait suddenly erupt in chaos, he asked in the team voice chat, “Deep Well Ice Player, are you ready over there?”
[[Team] Deep Well Ice Player: Wait a moment, 5 seconds.]
[[Team] Deep Well Ice Player: Ready, I’m good!]
“Alright, then,” Jiang Shi said, looking at the chaotic battle around the boss. He finally dashed out without hesitation. Before leaving, he reminded, “What Pen, lead everyone here and wait without moving. Pay attention to my signal.”
“Got it,” What Pen Carries Fragrance instinctively replied. However, he quickly realized something was wrong and went into a rage, “Carries Fragrance! I’ve said it so many times, call me Carries Fragrance!”
But Jiang Shi had already rushed into the battle and didn’t respond.
The battle between the three guilds became chaotic, and the more chaotic it got, the better it was for taking advantage of the situation.
The two medium-sized guilds, Fireworks Bureau and Watch Your Step, were clearly not a match for the Night Raider team, which, although not highly ranked, was still considered a large guild. The interference from the Crusaders at the respawn point had left the Night Raider team with only about half their members, and they were struggling to control the situation.
Jiang Shi, always one to take advantage of chaos, found himself in a favorable position in this environment.
Since everyone around was caught up in their own battles and indiscriminately attacking anyone who wasn’t from their guild, no one paid much attention to him. He quickly approached Madman Tait.
In the voice chat, What Pen Carries Fragrance exclaimed, “Oh my, look at the big guy’s positioning!”
Island Forest had a different focus: “Wow, is he planning to directly steal the boss?”
One sentence made What Pen Carries Fragrance feel frustrated, “Can a support class steal the boss alone?”
He leaned forward to get a better look at Jiang Shi’s situation. Due to the distance, he shouted instinctively, “Big guy, do you need my help?”
Jiang Shi directly shared a map coordinate location in the team chat: “What Pen, take your group to this location and be ready to take the boss.”
Then he directly copied Deep Well Ice Patient’s location and said, “When you receive the signal, run directly to this point, just keep running and don’t look back. Got it, press 1.”
“I’ve told you not to call me What Pen!” What Pen Carries Fragrance complained for the umpteenth time.
Jiang Shi: “So, do you understand, What Pen ?”
“…” What Pen Carries Fragrance, “1.”
Jiang Shi paid attention for a moment to make sure that the group of seven with seven silver coins were heading to the location he had assigned. Satisfied, he refocused his attention on the boss.
In fact, members of all three guilds had noticed the Light Elf who was wandering nearby like a harmless bystander. However, after several attacks failed to eliminate him, they stopped paying too much attention to this support player who posed no real threat.
After all, their top priority was to focus on guarding against the other two guilds.
Madman Tait’s health continued to decline, and as it approached 10%, it was nearing the critical moment of the boss fight.
Healers from all three sides were desperately trying to keep their main tanks’ health up, while the damage dealers were trying to eliminate the enemy’s main tank.
The central area had reached a state of intense combat, and nobody had the extra attention to spare for Jiang Shi, a returning support player who couldn’t be taken down for the moment.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when Madman Tait’s health dropped below 10%.
According to the boss’s mechanics, as soon as it entered the red health phase, all aggro would be reset, and the boss would enter a 30-second period of complete rampage. During this time, it would be immune to all damage and would periodically retarget its aggression, making it a critical period for determining the primary target.
Madman Tait had been a world boss in the first season, and Jiang Shi was well-versed in its mechanics.
If all went according to plan, during the 30 seconds when the boss entered its rampage phase, all three guilds’ leaders would order a temporary retreat to avoid dealing with the boss in the middle of the chaos. The key to victory in this boss battle usually came down to who could secure aggro after the rampage phase.
Jiang Shi naturally noticed the presence of another person.
At the same time that the rune formation caused Madman Tait to start bleeding, a swarm of mini-mechanical devices had already swarmed into the area.
Glancing sideways, he saw a familiar tall figure approaching.
In that instant, Jiang Shi seemed to understand something.
No wonder the Crusaders suddenly went mad and tried to kill him and Lao Bing as soon as they recognized him.
So, this person recognized him. It made sense now.
After all, Yu Weize had always settled personal vendettas.
He had deleted Yu Weize from his friend list because he had stood him up during their duel.
One had to admit, he couldn’t believe how persistent Yu Weize was.
Jiang Shi: “Old Player, guess who I ran into.”
[[Team] Deep Well Ice Player: Who?]
“I’ll tell you after we’ve secured the boss.”
If it were anyone else, Jiang Shi might not be concerned, but Yu Weize’s sudden appearance made him cautious.
Considering that the majority of the Crusaders had not arrived in time to provide support, it was very likely that this guy had the same idea as him.
Without hesitation, Jiang Shi turned a rune stone.
In an instant, the constructed rune field unleashed a mass of vines from the ground.
They intertwined and rapidly spread toward Yu Weize, who was not far behind.
Just as they were about to completely entangle him, Jiang Shi received a team request.
[[System] Yu Weize has requested to join the team. [Accept] or [Reject].]
Jiang Shi: “?”
Yu – not missing a chance – Weize
