Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 230 – Cat Dad VS Bird (1)

On the fourth day of the Guild War Event, a new change occurred. Before the start of the fifth round of the massive tournament, Pan Mei surprised the viewers and guild war participants by revealing the newly updated tournament rules in the live stream.

"From this round on out, guild leaders will not be the only starter members. ALL THEIR GUILD MEMBERS WILL BE DEPLOYED FROM THE START AS WELL!"

The rules were simple. Instead of waiting for the guild leaders to summon their guild members like in the previous rounds, all guild members would be dispatched to the battlefield right away.

In addition, there was no longer a restriction of 100 members. Every guild could dispatch every member right away even if they had 1,000 or 10,000 members!

Quest NPCs were removed and replaced with mineral veins and minable ores. Players could build a factory or a refinery on top of these natural resources to generate SP for their guilds.

These changes caused a stir among the participants as many teams came here with their fill-in players and hired replacement players. They lacked combatants in a real group fight.

Xiaomao's guild was also affected. As he hadn't upgraded his guild level yet, he could only bring 100 members to the fight while many big guilds had more than 1,000 members.

When Xiaomao heard about this update, he inspected the data of the Valkyrie Guild.

.

General Information

Guild Name: Valkyrie

Faction: Asgard

Guild Level: 5

Guild Members: 1,506/2,000

Guild Master: Joan

Home Base: Valhalla

Sponsor: (Hidden)

Blessings: (Hidden)

.

Xiaomao's expression turned dark as he didn't believe that Asgard would deploy weak players to fight in this tournament. There might be one or two mixing in, but most of the members might be high-leveled NPCs.

The mermen and Xiaomao might not be able to defeat 1500 elite NPCs from Asgard. Even if Xiaomao had a strong backer, Joan and her team might have one or two OP blessings from their gods, too.

Preparing for the worse case scenario, Xiaomao texted Wei Zhi.

"I'll fight with 100 men in the fifth round and go back. Tell Nymph and Undine that I need more soldiers."

"Okay!"

After telling Wei Zhi what to do, Xiaomao turned his attention to his men.

The mermen were excited that they could finally fight. Lucky and the boys, however, didn't look happy as they were weaker than these fish.

For now, they had no choice but to join the event and see how they could contribute to the battle.

But in a few minutes in the future, they would soon realize that they were too optimistic.

.

The fifth round took place on a plain. MUNYA Guild's opponent was another strong guild from World One.

Hwarang Guild was among the top 5 in that world. Their guild was sponsored by a Korean politician, and they bolstered a thousand members strong. In addition, they were competent enough to compete with Hiiro Narukami for dungeon monopoly and natural resources.

Hwarang Guild leader, Vermilion, was a level-317 summoner, and his primary familiar spirit was a fledging phoenix. A thousand members of his guild all wore a crimson enchanted cloak, crafted by their guild members.

They came prepared. Everyone wore fire-resistant equipment, expecting Xiaomao's fly-by tactic and his MU-NYA-NYA fireballs.

When Vermilion and his guild members arrived at the battlefield, he ordered his men right away.

"Hide behind your castle wall! We have the obelisks, and Xiaomao won't be able to snipe us from the sky! All snipers, get into your position! When Xiaomao appears, shoot him down!"

A thousand-man army moved. They formed ranks while the sniper teams entered the castle towers, securing their advantageous ground.

.

Meanwhile, Xiaomao and his 99 subordinates appeared in a blue castle. The mermen coughed and poured some water on their heads as they felt uncomfortable around Xiaomao, who wore a crimson cat hoodie and wielded a flame sword.

Xiaomao understood their pain and hopped on his new red flying sword.

After Xiaomao got on his sword and floated higher, the mermen got room to breathe and cool their bodies.

But before the team examine the castle and the battlefield, Xiaomao ordered them.

"Shepherd, James, John, and the merfolks! Your first job is to dig a moat around the castle and fill it with water, munya! Peter and Andrew, you two monitor the SP. Whenever it reaches 500, build a fountain and pour sacred water in there! And Lucky, use the skill that you learned from last night's skill book! Scout the battlefield and search for natural resources, munya!"

Everyone was surprised, but they quickly acted according to Xiaomao's order. Shepherd and his crew used their power to dig around the castle, creating a moat right away. Peter and Andrew, on the other hand, walked around the empty square behind the castle walls, choosing the best location to build the sacred water fountain. As for Lucky, she already rushed out of the castle.

After everybody got their jobs, Xiaomao flew out and charged toward the enemy's castle.

It didn't take long for Xiaomao to find a tall red castle with two large obelisk towers.

"MU-NYA-NYA!"

Five miniature suns manifested over Xiaomao's head. The catopus hurled the red kenki balls at the obelisk towers from a kilometer away!

WHOOM

As if the obelisk towers reacted to Xiaomao's fireballs, two laser beams were fired. In addition, they moved around and sliced the fireballs.

BOOM

BOOM

Five fireballs contacted the obelisk lasers and exploded in the sky. The attack failed.

'Figured. Pangu is at it again.'

Xiaomao confirmed his theory. Every day, Pangu and Pan Mei always ninja-updated the game to catch him off guard. Today as well, the obelisk towers now could destroy spells and projectiles.

He didn't flinch. Xiaomao scoffed at the towers and summoned five more fireballs.

WHOOM

The obelisk tower lit up, but they didn't fire their lasers.

"Go, munya!"

Five flame missiles flew toward the red castle this time.

BOOM

BOOM

Again, the towers shot down the fireballs before they could reach the castle.

"I see, munya."

Xiaomao paused to think. He couldn't use the same tactic to kill his enemies, so he needed to come up with a new trick. But first, he had to confirm the range of the towers.

The catopus flew closer to the tower. As soon as he got to 500 meters range, the towers lit up.

Xiaomao immediately turned his flying sword around and retreated. Then, the towers dimmed.

"This is nasty."

Again with the sneaky update, the tower's range increased from 200 meters to 500 meters, which completely thwarted Xiaomao's fly-by scheme.

But they forgot about one fact. Xiaomao excelled in violating Geneva Convention.

"You're not going to come out? Fine. Stay in there forever! LET IT GO, MUNYA!"
