Chapter 374 - Operation Sparrow (II)
"Holy crap, it was Bladeheart again?! He is at it again! A solo guild war mode for him again!"
"Solo guild war? That\'s possible?! Is he insane or what? He is just looking to die right? He is not just challenging a small guild but one of the first guilds ever made!"
"Oy, you don\'t know who Bladeheart is don\'t you? He is famous for performing the first solo guild war and won. Perhaps you are new to the game huh?"
"Are you joking at me? Because if you do, you are hilarious indeed."
"This guy has a screw loose, go and log out if you don\'t know who this guy is. "
I can hear their voices below but I didn\'t care. With the flag cut in half, it is time for me to go.
"There he is!"
But the Blue Sky Guild will not just let me go that easily. They immediately spotted me before I can even leave the vicinity of the guild. I can easily dispose of them but I will not bother to do that as it is a bit of a hassle and the actual fight is going to happen 24 hours later. Besides, they are on protection mode and they can easily hunt the challenger without any kind of penalties like getting a red name.
I tear up a teleport scroll allowing me to escape before they can even catch me. Even if they are hasty to kill me, it is still not the right time. I will let them prepare for the upcoming war. And let Harmless Sparrow prepare her own ammunition to exact the plan she was planning. I left the chasing players, leaving them baffled and confused by my sudden disappearance.
...
I returned to my base and looked around. Seeing that my parents and my friends are yet to return means they are still not done with their farming. Knowing the chaos I caused by issuing a guild war challenge to the Blue Sky Guild, it was clear that the players are already doing some broadcast news to the forums and community about it. After all, my first solo guild war is something that many players cannot forget and I still see a few discussions on how I managed to win without asking for any other player\'s help and only using the powers of my companions and pets in the battle.
Since no one from the community bravely did the same thing as me, it was still a marvelous topic to some players out there and I can still see a few discussions on how to also be able to do that.
"Master, are you going to employ our help in this upcoming battle too?" Atlas asked who is still inside the summon\'s area.
"Not this time Atlas. The last Solo guild war I did was successful thanks to your help guys but I still don\'t feel like calling it a solo guild war especially since you guys helped me This time, I am going to do an actual solo guild war and do this battle alone."
"If that is what you wish, Master. However, it seems Cotton seems eager to join the battle," this time, it is Lucia who started speaking.
"Cotton? But I don\'t have much control over Cotton compared to how Lucia and Tina can ask for help from her. How can I even command Cotton in battle?"
"Don\'t worry master, although Cotton is dormant for a while during the last battle we have in the insect kingdom, Cotton has matured and should be capable of understanding your words too, Master," Tina explained.
"Yep. We can guarantee that, Master. Even if Cotton can\'t directly fight, she can at least help you in some ways!" Lucia enthusiastically added.
Cotton\'s help would help a bit but would not tremendously allow me to sweep through the battle. But it is going to be enough for my battles to be much easier with her. And since Cotton could be considered as a pet, then she can just stay in my shoulder, in my head, or anywhere she can perch on, it is much easier and I can still call that a complete solo.
"Alright, now I should go and rest for a while until the right time for the guild war will begin, I will be out until then."
"Rest well, Master."
After everyone said those words, I press logout and left the game, returning to the real world. I will have to personally see how chaotic the forums are now after I issued the challenge earlier. It\'s time to grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Blue Sky Guild: Main Guildhouse
The executives of the Blue Sky Guild are gathered except for Harmless Sparrow who didn\'t attend to the guild meeting. Still, since Harmless Sparrow was the "President" in public, her presence wasn\'t even needed in the meeting.
"Didn\'t expect the famous Solo Guild War winner to target us next as his next target. Did we offend him in some way?" Diena, the female chronomancer and leader of the Squad B looked at her other executives.
"I doubt it. I personally meet him during the Battle For Blood but I doubt he even knows me. We didn\'t even crossed swords before, so it is definitely not something of my fault he attacked," Gapopo, the muscular berserker and leader of Squad C shrug his shoulders.
"Huh, so no one from us then? Then what is his purpose? For the kicks and thrills? I doubt it, he didn\'t even have a streaming channel so I doubt it was for the views," Jekyll, the Assassin eyed everyone around, trying to discern who is lying.
"I can think of one thing."
Everyone turned to look on the guy wearing a glasses. Due to his recent class up after hitting level 100, he is now a different class and he looks like a hero of light with his armor, clad in bright yellow light.
"You know why he attacked us, Vice Leader?" Diena looked at the person who seemed like he is the servant of goodness and light.
"If my suspicion is correct, he is one of the players that Rika calls as one of her friends."
When everyone heard it, their eyebrows furrowed and some even showed anger and frustration.
"That b*tch. She was the cause of this? Now look at what she did, the people are now focused on our guild despite our efforts on keeping ourselves silent and inconspicuous!" Gapopo is writhing in anger.
"Calm down Gapopo, even if you get angry at her, you cannot do anything if she is currently not her. Perhaps once she is back online, you should use her as a punching bag or training dummy," Karpat the Brawler who is the leader of the Squad D grinned.
"That\'s a good idea, Karpat. As expected of someone who regularly does that to other players."
The vice president tap his finger on the table and commanded with authority.
"ENOUGH."
Everyone stopped talking and the Vice President looked at everyone, one by one.
"You guys can think on how to torment her later, we should focus on our job right here. Are our guild defenses are sufficient enough to handle him? He might just be alone but with his followers and pets, if we underestimate him, we will be defeated instead. So please answer me if our guild is prepared enough to defeat him sufficiently."
"Ha, sure he is strong but is he that strong enough? From the videos that I have seen about the last Solo Guild War, he was not that strong and most of the work done is being performed by his followers instead. It\'s either he is very confident with his followers\' strength or he is just that naive," Ririka, the Archer of the group and the leader of Squad A confidently mocked Bladeheart.
"Oh, if Ririka said so, then that means he is very weak right? Also, he is a Versatile so that means he must be very low leveled. He only got strong because of his familiars and followers," Diena nodded as if she seemed to have thought of something.
"Versatile class is slowly level players so that means he is very weak right now. He only relies on his followers to be strong, then we can easily pummel him if we can stop his followers right?" Gapopo grinned.
The Vice President continues to observe everyone as they underestimate Bladeheart. He closed his eyes, and grinned.
"This might just be interesting. You have brought me a one good toy to play, Rika.. I can\'t wait to see you in despair after seeing his defeat in our hands."
