The clock tower's peak was high and distant. From the streets, the only thing that could be seen was a vague, dark shape. Normally, the sudden flashes from lightning scared players. But right now, everyone looked forward to them. It allowed them see clearly, saving them some effort.
"They've gotten up!!" a player shouted. He saw a hazy figure leap onto the clock tower's peak.
"GO!!" Chen Yehui yelled.
He hadn't given up yet. He had also noticed a Christmas thief breaking in. He had plenty of players handy and immediately split them into two groups. Half of them were to disperse and look for the newly respawned Christmas thieves, while the other half were to prepare to scramble for the pile of Christmas thieves.
Hearing their guild leader's orders, Excellent Dynasty's players immediately rushed to the streets. With so many players flooding the streets, it was quite easy for others to take notice of them.
After all, all of the guilds were positioned in a circle, so everyone had a different viewing angle. When Excellent Dynasty saw the Christmas thief go up, the Blue Brook Guild's players hadn't seen it yet. However, once they saw the players on the opposite side of them rushing forward, even though they didn't know which guild they were from, they easily figure out why they had moved out.
"Go!" Blue River also shouted an order and Blue Brook Guild's players rushed forward as well.
And like this, they tipped off each other and, in a short moment, six different troops had rushed out from the surrounding six streets, forming a giant circle around the clock tower.
"Cough....." Someone gently coughed. This scene was a bit awkward!
But many of them didn't care about this at all and had their heads raised, watching the Christmas thieves' movements. The Christmas thieves were still climbing though, which meant that Lord Grim was still alive.
"F*ck!" Someone cursed on Excellent Dynasty's side. They watched as the blurry figure that had flipped onto the top of the clock tower made a distant shriek and then fell onto the ground.
"Were we too impulsive?" a player seized the moment to ask.
They had only seen a blurry, dark figure flip onto the clock tower and had rushed out simply because of that. It truly was somewhat impulsive. The players who had positioned themselves and prepared to press the buttons for their skills unhappily loosened up their hands.
Everyone waited a bit, but they didn't see any other Christmas thief reach the top.
"Should we go back?" The guilds whispered amongst themselves.
"What do you mean, 'go back'..." a player said, while looking left and right. Everyone was out in the open. In any case, they stayed. Everyone understood that there was no point in hiding things from each other.
As a result, everyone raised their heads in unison and watched.
"A!"
"C!"
"D!"
Su Mucheng was constantly calling out.
"I say, are your cooldowns really that long?" Ye Xiu figured out that there was a problem. Su Mucheng's Launcher didn't have as many skills as his unspecialized, so there was no way she could continuously shoot Christmas thieves down like Lord Grim could. A lot of her time was spent observing the thieves' positions. However, why did it seem like she was attacking less and less?
"Ha ha ha, they're not! I just thought that it'd be fun like this." Su Mucheng laughed.
"Are you trying to mess with me?"
