Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 558: Orion Guild

Rock Solid!

The Tank quickly used a buff on himself, raising his defenses.

Bang! Bang!

"URAAAH!"

He hammered his shield with his hand axe and let out a bellowing cry!

The Alpha wanted to ignore this puny human and charged towards the human commander, but the bellowing of the human in front of it suddenly made it feel irritated, turning its attention away from its initial target towards the Tank.

Graaah!

Bang!

The Alphat let out a snarl and jumped towards the Tank, and the latter quickly raised his shield!

The paw and the shield collided, creating a loud bang. Annoyed, the Alpha suddenly stood on its hind legs and with its pair of front paws, it smashed towards the shield with almost all of its weight behind it!

"Urrgh!"

The Tank couldn't help but let out a groan as his knees almost buckled from the weight behind that attack.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a silhouette flashed past from behind him and dashed towards the Alpha.

Cross Slash!

It was Swordsman, and obviously judging from the name of the Skill she used. She first executed a downward slash, quickly followed by a diagonal slash coming from below.

Blade Dance!

It wasn't over as another player was actually following right behind the Swordsman, and immediately launched an attack towards the Elite monster.

He flickered and suddenly appeared beside the Alpha and slashed its side belly, before his figure once again faded in the nick of time as the Alpha took a swipe at him with its paw.

This time, the Assassin appeared above the wolf and pierced its back, before vanishing in a flash and reappearing near the Tank, before quickly retreating to the back line.

The onslaught of the Assassin was so fast that it only occurred in under two seconds, and due to that, the aggro had turned towards him.

Graarrr!

Shield Bash!

Snarling, the Alpha zoomed towards the Assassin, and as the Main Tank of the guild, the Tank was not only meticulous, but also quick on his feet as he charged from the side and smashed its shield on the wolf.

The Alpha was thrown to the side, stunned, its knees shaking as it tried to get up.

Some of its minions tried to help their Alpha when they saw its predicament, but the players immediately intercepted them and tied them down, and a few of the Swordsmen had even taken the task of being the meat shields as some of their Warriors and Tanks had already fallen under the jaws of the wolves.

Starfall!

Powershot!

Fireball!

Wind Cutter!

Frost Nova!

The Wizards and other long ranged classes didn't let go of this chance that the Tank had earned for them and presented it with a rain of arrows and magical attacks!

Awoo!

And the wolf could only let out a wail under this dense attack!

Grrrr!

As the onslaught of attacks ended, the Alpha growled, and with shaky feet, it slowly stood up. This time, its attention had turned towards the Wizard who had thrown the Frost Nova form earlier.

Graaah!

"C-crap! It's coming for me!"

Shaking off the snow from its body, the Alpha let out a sharp snarl and glared at the Wizard and made a mad dash towards him!

"My Taunt's on cooldown! Someone ta-"

"GOOD DAY FRIENDS!"

With his Taunt on cooldown, the guild's main tank became frantic, and just as the wolf was about to break past him, a sudden, thunderous bellow rang out in the distance!

It was the damn Lion's Roar, a more powerful version of the Taunt Skill.

It was so loud that the snow on the ground even shook, and every single one of the wolves all halted in their attacks as their attention was drawn towards the sound.

Awooo!

"Tighten the formation! First Squad, get back and return to the formation!"

The commander quickly issued the orders when she saw the new arrivals in the distance. Even the Wolf Pack had quietly retreated with a howl from their Alpha.

The newcomers were moving in a single file at first, but as they slowly got closer to where the players and wolf pack were, they slowly assembled into a typical infantry square formation where the players stood shoulder to shoulder depending on their Class.

She was wary since the other side has tripled their current numbers.

"State yourselves!" the commander of the unknown guild yelled at the newcomers. She sounded a little irritated since they suddenly butted in and caused their effort to go down the drain.

For that reason, the wolf pack had a brief respite and are leaking their wounds from the recent battle with them.

That familiar figure yelled back, "I'm Maverick, the Vice Guildmaster of Flame Rose Guild! Who are you friends and what is your group doing here?!"

When the opposite group of players heard him, everyone had a reaction, especially the guild executives of this small guild, everyone grimaced.

"Uggghh, one of the Baronet titles is for sure going to them"

"Indeed, the Revenant Guild and Flame Rose Guild are close allies"

Hearing the chatter around her, the guildmaster let out a sigh and finally introduced herself, "We're the Orion Guild, and I'm Haruka, the current Guildmaster!"

Maverick smiled and eyed the Wolf Pack in the distance, who was also watching them, and despite the contrasting numbers between two races, it remained arrogant as it still held its head high.

"It seems like you need a little hand. Are you guys heading to Snow Village because of the announcement that they released recently?"

Haruka shook her head and replied, "We're indeed heading there, and no, we don't need a hand, we got it covered as long as you don't interfere again"

Maverick shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself, then we'll camp here and wait for you guys to finish up, then our guilds can move together after since there's strength in numbers especially around these parts. What do you think, Guildmaster Haruka?"

She didn't immediately answer him and instead looked at her friends, they nodded at her to show their stance and only then did she give him a reply.

"Alright, we accept your proposal, Vice Leader Maverick"

With an understanding in place between the groups, the Orion Guild, suddenly feeling rejuvenated, took the initiative and clashed with the Wolf Pack while Flame Rose Guild moved back a hundred meters from the area and camped.
