Chapter 874 -874: A Dispute of Pride
“You’re worthless, no one asked for your opinion here.” Vereesa said icily, her face full of disgust, “I really don’t know if the mages of Dalaran are out of their minds to have sent you here.”
Ronin’s face turned beet red with anger as he glared at Vereesa, but he did not retort, instead, he seemed deflated as he continued to lower his head.
Disappointment flickered in Vereesa’s eyes as she muttered under her breath, “Such a useless man.”
The bowman, Taylor, seemed as if he was used to this sort of scene, indifferent and detached.
Li Yao was somewhat dumbfounded. Having been reincarnated, Li Yao knew very well that Ronin and Vereesa were a very loving couple.
They even retired for the sake of their children, which said a lot about their relationship.
In his previous life, Ronin and Vereesa were considered the most enviable couple.
You see, Ronin later became a Great Mage, even becoming the leader of the City of Mages. He was able to retire for Vereesa, who was also once a Ranger General—a formidable woman, highly revered even among the high elves.
She actually married a human; keep in mind that high elves have a lifespan of at least a thousand years, while humans, even if they are Great Mages, may not live beyond a century. Yet, Vereesa married Ronin and had two children with him, which says a lot about their relationship.
Compared to the tortured love between Princess Jaina and the Lich King, and compared to many touching yet bleak tales among the old gods, the two of them were really quite happy.
However, Li Yao had not expected their relationship to be so terrible when they had just met.
Of course, through the Titan’s Eye, although Li Yao couldn’t see their specific attributes, he could still gather a lot of useful information.
Currently, both Ronin and Vereesa were still faction-level chiefs; far from being World-level Chiefs, of course. But considering their age, their strength was already astonishing.
“I never thought my mentor had such a sister, what a pity.” Li Yao sighed.
“You’re asking for death…” Vereesa was furious, but her expression changed before she could explode.
Li Yao’s expression also changed, and simultaneously, they said, “Enemy attack!”
The two exchanged glances, Li Yao noticing a flicker of surprise in Vereesa’s eyes, but that emotion was fleeting.
The person in charge of the caravan became serious, “What’s the situation?”
Vereesa glanced at Li Yao, not saying a word.
Li Yao quickly said, “About a thousand hyena men will reach our camp in five minutes.”
The bowman, Taylor, doubted Li Yao’s abilities and was skeptical, turning to Vereesa for confirmation.
Ronin stood up and said, “I have sensed the hostility, though I’m not sure about the exact numbers.”
Taylor then blew a small horn, prompting countless people to run out of their tents.
Emergency actions were also taking place at other posts, but the caravan didn’t have many people; Li Yao noted that there was only one mage, Ronin, and about thirty high elves. The caravan consisted of merely fifty people, many of whom were merely drivers, with only about twenty combative personnel.
However, there were quite a few players, adding up to roughly a hundred people altogether.
In less than three minutes, they had all gathered around.
Taylor loudly announced, “About a thousand hyena men are about to attack us, they are all elite fighters, very tough to handle. I beg everyone here to lend us your strength.”
“Sure, sure”
“We received protection from the caravan along the way, so it’s only right,” he said.
The people of the caravan naturally had no objections, but the players, especially those from different factions, eagerly volunteered their assistance.
There was a reason for this. Just as their stay here was not for free, the caravan wouldn’t let them exert efforts for nothing. Aside from earning money, they could also increase their reputation with the caravan—a highly desired outcome.
By now, the players fully understood that reputation was a valuable asset, which could not only be traded for unique items but also secure them discounts.
Taylor sighed in relief and said, “Please, Great Mage and General, lend us your aid. A rich reward will surely follow this ordeal.”
Ronin stood up, the elements around him beginning to vibrate: “It’s a matter of duty.”
Vereesa also nodded, agreeing to the request.
“Brother, could you lend a hand? There will be rewards after this calamity,” said Taylor sincerely, not displaying any superiority despite his higher rank compared to that of Li Yao.
“No need for thanks. I was going to stay here anyway. I’ll give it my all, and we can call it even,” Li Yao said carelessly, before he blew a whistle and summoned his pets.
Taylor’s eyes instantly lit up, especially upon seeing the Spider Tank and the Hydra: “Brother, you’re straightforward. I’ll buy you a drink after the battle.”
Boom…
Ronin’s body emitted a burst of purple light, and as he slammed his gigantic magic wand onto the ground, a golden shockwave spread out, Li Yao saw numerous intricate runes appear on the ground, seemingly forming a mysterious array.
Gift of the Mage God: By connecting with the Magic Net, it forms a Magic Net Enhancement within the area, boosting the combat strength of allies.
In an instant, the array enveloped the camp, and everyone was shrouded in a layer of purple light.
“The battle is up to you guys; I’ll try to keep it up as long as I can,” Ronin said, now lacking his earlier shyness and sullenness, practically a completely different person.

Those of the sixth rank were boosted to a certain extent, and the players who were not yet at the sixth rank, but had reached level thirty, were suddenly enhanced to the sixth-rank level.
Li Yao realized that he had temporarily become a Junior Faction Chief.
This was the advantage of participating in plot quests: getting involved in historical events often temporarily granted matching combat strength. Of course, this was also Ronin’s special consideration for him; ordinary players were only enhanced to a heroic level.
“Thank you,” Li Yao performed a fist and palm salute.
“It’s your pets that are formidable, no need to thank me,” Ronin said honestly. It wasn’t that he had any special preference for Li Yao, it was just that Li Yao’s pets were so powerful that enhancing them allowed for an even greater combat effectiveness.
At that moment, Li Yao’s pets underwent a monumental transformation, each becoming a Faction-level Chief, tremendously potent, and many players recognized Li Yao, shouting his name aloud.
“Show-off,” Vereesa sneered. “Didn’t you say you could easily kill me at the sixth rank?”
Li Yao, now fearing nothing, replied, “If you want to spar, I’m ready after the battle.”
“I’m not one for playing little sparring games. If we compete, it’s going to be in killing,” Vereesa pointed to the hyena men charging from afar and said, “We’ll set a target each and then see who kills more in battle.”
“Sounds interesting. Let’s do it,” Li Yao immediately switched to the Blue Moon Bow.
“You’ve certainly mastered the pride of my beloved sister, but I wonder if you’ve learned even a fraction of her skill,” Vereesa also switched to a Long Bow, indicating she wouldn’t rely on weapons to win.
“Less than thirty percent, but that’s enough to beat you,” Li Yao responded, not showing any sign of weakness…
