Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 55: Guild Base

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The first guild base was spawned!

Together with the spawning of the guild base, a mob of monsters guarding the base also appeared. Their tiers varied from Normal to Rare Elite. If one was lucky, they could meet rare types of monsters.

When the number of monsters that died within the guild base reached a certain amount, a random enhanced monster would become the Guild Base Boss, which would definitely drop the Overlord Token. Upon receiving the Overlord Token and safely holding on to it for six hours, then one could receive the base.

So far, the only people eligible to apply for the establishment of a guild base and develop it into a village was The Heavenly Shield’s Ironwall Empire only. The effects of the Overlord Token obtained by others would be temporarily stored until the guild received the Guild Base Token and completed the Construction Missions.

As one could predict, the competition for the guild base would be terrible!

With the appearance of the system announcements, even if many people didn’t know what was hidden among them, they all packed up and prepared to take to the road.

The system had released announcements. Wasn’t it a pity not to go reap some benefits there?

“Fu Sheng, that piece of land is…” The Heavenly Shield asked in excitement.

“Guild base,” confirmed Lin Jie.

“That’s great, I will immediately gather manpower from other towns…”

“We are in no rush, let them stand by within the Forest City.”

If the time for the fight was too long, it would most certainly attract attention from major guilds. With only Lin Jie and the Ironwall Empire, it would inevitably be hard for them to take action. Unable to snatch it by force, they could only take it through strategic means.

Just as Lin Jie finished, he immediately rushed to Forest City but suddenly, he missed his Portable Guardian Crossbow. With a siege artillery-type heavy weapon, would it not be a simple matter to obtain the guild base?

Dense fog shrouded Forest City, and some ruined buildings were looming. Lin Jie estimated the size of the guild base, and his heart was even more determined. ‘This is a second-tiered base!’

That base was not better than the main city. It was divided into four tiers: village, town, city, and country. Each tier had 3 levels, a total of 12 levels. The cost of resources and materials were simply unimaginable. In the past seven years of Lin Jie’s previous life, the most powerful guild base had only been a low-level city, and its status was equivalent to a first-tiered main city.

With a second-tiered guild base, how much work could be saved? If it could be upgraded to a city earlier, that base would be able to attract a lot of rare NPCs that would release all kinds of high-level missions. One would even be able to get sets, mounts, skills…

Lin Jie sensitively smelled the scent of war. ‘No matter what, it can not fall into the hands of the three alliances!’

At the base gate, there were several harmless Dragonhawks. These red snakes that grew wings were the inferior races of The New Age. Only Dragonhawks with excellent growth attributes could be used as flying mounts.

Wandering Dragonhawk: Level 12 Wild Beast, Health Points: 900

The Dragonhawk’s movement speed was extremely fast, its sharp teeth could ignore 20% defense, and its dive could enhance greater numbers of critical hits. Its weakness was also very obvious, they were very fragile!

“Screech—”

An orange-red Dragonhawks discovered Lin Jie. Twisting its body that was like those of water snakes, it instantly turned into a reddish-orange thunder in the air and attacked! Its speed was so fast that even the air was turned into blades.

Lin Jie swung his sword across and gushes of Blade Aura turned into the edges of the sword at the top of the Broken Blade. He looked around, searching for the almost indistinguishable weak point – the small eyeballs.

When he found the correct angle, Army Obliteration was released!

-200! (Critical Hit)

-198! (Critical Hit)

-204! (Critical Hit)

Whoosh!

The Dragonhawk flew past Lin Jie’s ear violently, and fresh blood oozed out. Its fearful speed also had a negative effect, that was at the same time as it increased its own attack power and critical strike chance, it would allow the opponent to receive the same buff.

Lin Jie accurately hit its fragile parts, reducing the Dragonhawks’ health bar by half and making it stay in the air, unwilling to come down.

This was also the annoying part of the Dragonhawks, they would especially bully the ones who did not know ranged attacks. It would wait till its Health Points recovered before slowly coming down to fight with its enemy.

However, this did not apply to Lin Jie!

Feather Drop Spell!

The Feather Drop Gem shone slightly, and Lin Jie jumped up high. The Broken Blade slashed the Dragonhawk’s body fiercely and instantly cut it into three portions before dropping onto the ground unsteadily.

Dragonhawks’ experience points were very high, it was the highest among all the other monsters in the same level. However, it was a pity it only lived in the Tribe of Darkness’s Land of Hidden Demons. It was hard for players of Guild of Light to bump into them.

After cutting the Dragonhawk’s wings off, Lin Jie draped them over his body and ran inside the base.

Dragonhawk Wing: Special Item. Draping it over your body can emit a wonderful stink.

Most special items’ descriptions were very vague, so players needed to find their uses on their own. That was also the reason Lin Jie had bought the special items without constraint.

Lin Jie successfully entered the base.

At the same time, a huge batch of players arrived and amongst them was Lin Jie’s old acquaintance—Mighty Wings! He took advantage of his past experience as Ironwall Empire’s team leader to join a small guild and was currently the team leader. He rushed into the base while bringing over 70 underlings. He waved his greatsword. “Go, Snatch everything in this map!”

“KILL!”

“Charge!”

The underlings rushed up together, but the five Dragonhawks guarding the gate unleashed their power. Their poisonous teeth slid pass their faces, causing critical hits to pop up one by one.

-141!

-163!

-158!

Those underlings’ equipment was average, so they were killed by the Dragonhawks in one shot.

“WTF!” Mighty Wings was furious. He carried his Silver Greatsword and rushed in. He was then bitten many times by a Dragonhawk from front to rear and fell to the ground with hatred.

Not only so, but the Silver Greatsword in his hand was also dropped.

Silver Greatsword was also a sword! All of the players behind swallowed their saliva and intended to go up front to pick it up. Unfortunately, they were instantly killed by the Dragonhawks, which resulted in dropping another item.

10 minutes passed, and many pieces of equipment were already stacked there.

At that time, Mighty Wings revived and stored all the equipment into his backpack, laughing heartily. “A bunch of idiots, wanting to take advantage of me?”

The Dragonhawk flung its tail and instantly killed Mighty Wings who was still in a weak state while he was throwing his head back and roaring with laughter. All the equipment that was picked up actually dropped. Not only so, but a skill book was also dropped too… This made everyone’s eyes shine!

——

“Level 15 Frost Rock, Level 14 Flame Biteweed, Level 16 Vampire…” Lin Jie looked at the monsters wandering in front of him, and he could not help but shrink closer into the corner.

It was impossible for a person to clear it!

There were few hundreds of monsters around level 15 guarding the base. Even if a few teams started clearing, it would perhaps take a few days at the earliest. Not to mention that Lin Jie was all by himself now.

There was movement at the door. A Bandit in stealth looked at the monster in front of him with horror. His head was marked with the symbol of the Kingdom of Glory. He was there to scout the path!

Lin Jie blinked and took out his rifle, giving a shot to the back of his head. The sound attracted the surrounding monsters and instantly tore him into pieces.

A transparent wave floated here, and a number instantly appeared on Lin Jie’s mission list: 1.

Lin Jie blinked. ‘Ah! A good start!’

The speed at which major guilds gathered their manpower was not so fast. That being the case, it was better to take advantage of this time to earn extra income!

Monster Repellent Powder: Special item. Sprinkle the Monster Repellent Powder as a circle with a 5×5 yards radius. This can prevent wild monsters from intruding or harassing. Lasts for 1 hour, only effective to wild monsters below level 20.

Monster Repellent Powder was a light purple powder and had a very strong pungent odor. Not to mention monsters, even humans were unwilling to smell it.

Monster Repellent Powder’s largest effect was to repel monsters when one bumped into a treasure chest in the open.

Now, it had an extra use!

The Monster Repellent Powder that had a bad smell, befouling the atmosphere, was sprinkled everywhere. All monsters with a strong sense of smell were chased towards the gate until all the Monster Repellent Powder was finished sprinkling. At that time, the guild base gate was already flooded by players that were tightly packed together.

At the Guild Base Gate…

The Kingdom of Glory’s players were standing with discipline, but one person was missing Eighteen Massacres. The person standing in the leader’s position was instead a Bandit. He looked towards people like Cigarette Butt and Shallow Smile in contempt.

It was Demon Robe, the Dark-Robed Knights’ honorary commander! There had been a rumor in Lin Jie’s previous life that the Dark-Robed Knights’ president was someone else, but the only person exposed to the public was Demon Robe. In addition, he had shown extraordinary talents in The Rule of Liches, leaving a deep impression.

His idea of commanding was totally different from Eighteen Massacres, overbearing and arrogant!

There were many new faces in the team too. They were not from the Kingdom of Glory, nor were they from the Dark-Robed Knights, but they were people from… Brotherhood! The Dark-robed Knights had the highest position of “legendary” in Brotherhood, so releasing missions to recruit lone wolves was extremely easy.

Those lone wolves all had their faces covered. They were using the worst “Mask” that could conceal their names, but if the equipment’s durability dropped or was removed by people, their names would be revealed. Those were far less practical than the Hermit Helmet.

As it was their first time on a mission, that group of people was already eagerly hoping they could transform into tools with “Codename.”

“You guys, attack!”

Demon Robe pointed at the mercenaries of Brotherhood and shouted.

“Attack?” A player that concealed his name and had many layers of clothes covering his face laughed. “Attack what? Do you want us to die?”

Cigarette Butt laughed coldly. “Hiring you guys, isn’t it just to be cannon fodders? You really considered yourselves as high-level mercenaries?”

“I’m sorry, but according to Brotherhood’s rules, we are not allowed to participate in cannon fodder type missions.” This player shrugged his shoulders, and disdain could be seen from his eyes. “Brotherhood players are all lone wolves. We follow our own desires and value our levels and life. This employment is canceled!”

“Chey, I thought we could receive some good work by following a legendary.”

“Be cannon fodder? To hell with him!”

“Hehe, I can actually slap the face of major guilds so arrogantly. OMG, I love this organization. Oh right, in the case that we get surrounded, we have the rights to issue the Brotherhood Order, right?”

A group of people was discussing with each other and the more they said, the more they felt this organization was suited to their taste! It was not the same as the cold words of the Mercenary Association. Brotherhood had very strong protective measures towards solo players. When one was in need, aid would come from everywhere.

“Kill them!” Shallow Smile raised her beautiful brows.

Demon Robe stretched out his hand to stop them and looked at the back view of the people leaving deeply. There was an inexplicable feeling in his eyes.

‘Brotherhood?’ He never thought that those solo players would be so united.
