Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 48: First Squadron, First Five!

At this moment, Ye Ci was able to hold back the Elite Guard with her exceptional adaptability and her fantastic mechanical skill. She kited it to death in an extravagant fashion while the party just watched. At this point, those who were still filled with indignant were finally accepted Ye Ci. An Elite Guard that would usually take 25 players to take down was defeated by her alone. If this news got out, it would be an embarrassment for them.

The party members revived themselves and ate some supplies to recover their health. They no longer gossiped about Ye Ci. Her actions earlier were like a slap to their faces.

Ye Ci sat on a rock at the side, patting Ol' Three's head. She quietly scanned the crowd with an icy gaze.

The group of twenty four players were all scared witless by her stare. It was only after a while that some of the more courageous players finally asked, "Leader, do we still push onwards?"

Ye Ci's intimidating gaze immediately swept over the few who were still chattering. Those she stared at were all frightened and no longer dared to speak.

The world was just like that, if you wanted others to obey you, a few flowery words would not be enough. The most direct method would be to let the other party know of your valiance. Then they will automatically submit to you.

"I know that you might think that I do not have the capabilities to lead you guys. However, I'm only here to clear this dungeon. Your thoughts are none of my concern." Ye Ci said in an icy, unsympathetic tone.

The moment she said this, one of the players who were discontented with Ye Ci immediately spoke out, "Who do you think you are? You don't speak clearly, you don't give us many pointers, and you expect us to clear the dungeon? What do you think we are? Demigods?"

Ye Ci glanced sideways at the player, then she stood up with a gentle expression and spoke in an indifferent tone, "The elites of Steel-Blooded Battle Spear can't even do their job with a change in commander."

Although this sentence was as light as the feather of a goose, its impact however was as heavy as that of Mount Tai, causing all of the players to turn red with anger. In reality, Ye Ci had already clearly explained the method to clear the dungeon right at the start. In between, she had given relevant heads-up at the appropriate times. However, the real issue was that they were not used to being given such efficient commands. Additionally, they were not really willing to follow Ye Ci's orders therefore they weren't able to display the full extent of their abilities.

This was a matter that nobody wanted to admit. It was without doubt that they would rather push all the blame to Ye Ci, this 'outsider'.

Turning around, Ye Ci ignored the angry rants of those behind and said tranquilly, "Those who don't wish to fight can choose to retreat, those who wish to fight can just continue."

Instantly, she heard consecutive sounds from the system notifications.

"Random Dance of the Sakuras has left your party."

"Only One Meter Four has left your party."

"Strange Differences has left your party."

......

After the sound from the system notifications stopped, Ye Ci glanced around at the players left. There were roughly 10 players who left, not a lot but not very little either, there were only 15 players left. The remaining players who stayed back comprised of those that were completely convinced of her strength, those that were simply not resigned to giving up after such a long fight and those who wanted to earn DKP.

The MT and Secondary Tank had left the party, while the main healer stayed behind along with the third and fourth healer. Some of the DPS left as well. The party only had half its strength left.
