The first thing that caught their eyes was the glow of skills and the unique sound emitted by magic crystal weapons firing.
At this moment, everyone knew that the camp was under attack.
However, neither Ye Zhongming, Xiao Min, nor Xia Bai moved. Since there was no signal for support from the lookout, it indicated that there was no real threat. Currently, Cloud Summit had a mature marching system in place.
Ruan Xiao and Wu Xiu came out with several guards after hearing the noise and happened to see Ye Zhongming standing there. They greeted him and then looked towards the direction of the battle together.
"It seems someone thinks we are in the way and wants to eliminate us before the roulette space opens," Ruan Xiao said coldly, implying that they were standing with Cloud Summit Villa.
This wasn’t surprising; the Ogre Chain had a good relationship with Cloud Summit, and both sides complemented each other through their cooperation, gaining many benefits that neither could achieve alone.
For instance, the materials that Ye Zhongming needed and the potions or equipment that the Ogre Chain required.
Of course, there was also the stability that Ye Zhongming, a major client, brought to Ruan Xiao's position.
Now, arriving at the Mountain King Plateau and waiting to compete for this Dominion Equipment was originally meant to be a rivalry. However, as people from the same national area, there was an unspoken bond that they all understood, and when not vying for the Mountain King Crown, they were on the same front.
Now that someone had attacked Cloud Summit's camp, it was obvious they were trying to exclude these outsiders from the national area. Ruan Xiao's anger and empathy were understandable.
Wu Xiu shook her head, saying nothing. But in her heart, she knew these people had made a mistake. Although Cloud Summit’s team was the smallest, they were not the weakest; they were among the strongest. Just a single red dress guard could crush countless so-called major powers or organizations.
The facts quickly validated Wu Xiu’s thoughts. The battle ended within minutes, with the attacking team leaving behind dozens of corpses as they retreated, while no one from Cloud Summit was even injured.
The battle report was soon issued, stating that an organization called the Z-type Vendetta Squad had attacked, thinking Cloud Summit was easy prey and sending over a thousand people to assault them.
There was no other option; Yangos had gone off somewhere, the earth yellow pill was sleeping in the tent, the nine treasures were over at the Bering Strait providing support, the ice bird was resting in the Demon Servicing Beehive, and the undead fish dragon was busy growing…
Without these glaring signs that made Cloud Summit hard to mess with, outsiders saw it as just a group of women and half-grown children—who else would they bully if not you?
The reason these major powers hadn’t acted in the past few days was that they didn’t take Cloud Summit seriously. They were afraid that attacking Cloud Summit would alert other forces, leading to a counterattack.
Only organizations like the Z-type Vendetta Squad, which were somewhat sizable and well-informed but didn’t qualify as superpowers, would recklessly target people from the national area, hoping to gain an easy advantage.
Unfortunately, they ran into a stone wall.
The Z-type Vendetta Squad was self-aware; upon realizing they were gnawing on a dagger instead of a bone, they immediately retreated without hesitation.
Cloud Summit didn’t pursue them. For forces like this, not to mention Ye Zhongming, even the ordinary soldiers of the red dress guard looked down on them. A small team could probably sweep through the thousand attackers from moments ago.
However, even if they didn’t care, Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai didn’t say anything. If they encountered members of this organization in the future, the female warriors of the red dress guard would definitely go all out.
After all, to outsiders, they were each seen as 'freaks' and 'killers.'
