Chapter 677: The Trap

(A couple hours later, StrongHaven City)

Extensive preparations were set in motion to brace for the imminent arrival of ‘TheBoss’ in StrongHaven City, transforming every square inch of the metropolis into a heavily fortified battleground under the careful watch of the righteous faction rankers and their guilds.

By this point, the righteous faction guilds had come to recognize the ingenious methods that ‘TheBoss’ had been employing to evade their detection so far, and although, each humiliating defeat that they suffered at his hands up till now was like painful a painful pill to swallow, it had also become a hard-earned lesson that taught them how to confront ‘TheBoss’ going forward.

“Quick, quick, send Devon to the neighboring square….. we already have Gmoney here, we don’t need another mage that can cast [Thermal Vision], send him over–” A knight class player, who served as a captain in a major guild said, as he transferred a member of his team to the neighboring guild, as they lacked a mage who could use the [Thermal Vision] spell.

[Thermal Vision] was a (Rare) skill scroll which had little to no practical applications except granting the user the ability to see in the night and via walls.

However, with the righteous faction guilds struggling to deal with ‘TheBoss’ and his invisibility, it suddenly emerged as one of the most useful spells in the game.

Every single copy of the spell available at the skill-scroll store was purchased by major guilds and their member mages were forced to learn it immediately.

This was done so that there remained at least some members in every party that could spot ‘TheBoss’, even when he was in his invisible form, so that he couldn’t run past them undetected.

Regardless of which guild was patrolling what city square or corner, a mage capable of using [Thermal Vision] was deployed down every street and block, to ensure that ‘TheBoss’ was spotted and stopped as soon as he entered the city.

The second lesson that the righteous faction players had learned was to not use social media for their communications too much.

So far, every strategy that they made was discussed on the open forums, which was easily accessible by ‘TheBoss’, in-case he was paying attention.

To counter this problem, inter guild communication lines were opened, with one member from every guild being present in the central town square, from where they could all type individual messages within their guild chats, spreading the same commands to all guilds without having to use the official forum channels.

This ensured the sanctity of their communication, and protected them against any leaks made to ‘TheBoss’ or his rebel aides.

The third step that they took to counter ‘TheBoss’, was to post a guild member on every rooftop and dark alley, to ensure that he did not slip-by the city undetected.

Millions upon millions of players were mobilized for this job and soon every single square inch of StrongHaven City was completely covered by righteous faction players.

Finally, and most importantly, the top rankers who had gathered to take down ‘TheBoss’, spread evenly amongst the cityscape, with each ranker being on their toes and ready to rush to any corner of the city, as soon as TheBoss’s location was confirmed.

The plan was to overwhelm and pin ‘TheBoss’ down as soon as he was detected, in what seemed to be a full proof plan to take him down.

2700 of the top 10,000 rankers had gathered inside StrongHaven City to help take ‘TheBoss’ down, in what had to be the largest co-operative quest undertaken by players within the game.

Today, as they waited for the first signs of the boss to show up, not a single player slouched or dared be lax, as everyone remained sharp and on their toes, suspicious of even the wind whistling past them. РаΝỌꞖЕṤ

The entire righteous faction wanted to take ‘TheBoss’ down, at any cost necessary, and hence when the system message came that the last known coordinates of ‘TheBoss’, was just 45 kilometers away from StrongHaven City, everyone immediately became fully prepared.

[Global Notification :- Last known coordinates of player ‘TheBoss’.

“This is it guys…. TheBoss is barely two to three hours away from getting here…. Finally, our time to take him down has arrived”

“As long as he steps in this city. He’s going to be dead meat. There are literally over 3-4 million players here, just waiting to take him down.

If he dares arrive here, there is absolutely no way he would survive–”

“Guys do you really think ‘TheBoss’ will dare walk into StrongHaven? I mean, no matter how powerful he thinks he is, doing so would just be plain suicide no? Who the hell can survive this set-up?”

“If ‘TheBoss’ walks into StrongHaven and somehow walks out of it alive, then I don’t care about this factional division anymore, I will join him and worship him as my god. But let’s be realistic here…. He’s not going to arrive, and if he does he’s not going to survive….”

The righteous faction players began to chat in their free-time on the guilds internal chats, and the discussion seemed to be extremely optimistic.

Everyone believed that it was impossible for ‘TheBoss’ to survive coming to StrongHaven and hence there were many who thought that he just wouldn’t show-up.

Even ChaosBringer who was on the end of his nerves because of Leo entering Empire lands, sent a personal message to him in all capital letters, warning him to not enter StrongHaven, as the few assets that he still had within the righteous faction, warned him seriously about the trap that they had set-up for him.

“NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, DON’T GO TO STRONGHAVEN, I REPEAT, DONT GO TO STRONGHAVEN…. THERE’S AN AMBUSH FOR YOU THERE THAT YOU CAN’T SURVIVE” ChaosBringer wrote, however, when Leo read the message, he only chuckled out loud.

He was going to enter StrongHaven no matter what, and even though the world was against him, Leo had the balls to enter the city regardless.
