Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 462 Bloody Banquet

Do you know that, Awoo?

This is good news. At least we can determine whether it has any value. If it is useful, Li Xia wouldn't mind exchanging for another one to keep in hand.

"This invitation is quite famous in a specific small circle, but it's very difficult for solo players or lone wolves to get it."

Aowu thought back carefully and realized that this was something that everyone had mentioned when they were all drunk and chatting, and Aowu hadn't really listened.

Therefore, we must be careful and avoid saying anything wrong that could lead to a misjudgment by the boss.

"It seems that this thing can be used to participate in a bloody banquet. The specific format of the banquet was not mentioned, but the guy said that he could find what he craved at the bloody banquet."

The vast majority of invitations were distributed to other guilds, but some were still given to solo players and lone wolves through various channels.

It's said that it was a mandatory requirement from the guild hall, and that's all they could do, since that guy's owner was just a member with some status in the guild.

I only managed to get an invitation by accumulating KPIs.

However, he said that only mid-level apostles could participate in this bloody feast, and it was extremely dangerous.

Li Xia nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask:
"How many times can I attend this banquet?"

"Once! It's unique; everyone has only one chance!"

That makes things simple. Li Xia decisively removed this item from his exchange list.

As for whether or not to produce another copy for sale inside the hall.
Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well spend more time at the training ground.

The exchange panel was closed, the entire hall flashed with light, and the figures in the teleportation array suddenly solidified.

All the apostles from the Temple of Light who participated in this world war appeared.

Li Xia's gaze swept over the crowd, and he calculated the exact number of people.

532 apostles!
Li Xia didn't know how many apostles a normal world war would require, but the fact that there were more than five hundred people made him instinctively feel that the number might be a bit excessive.

The war maniac glanced around and was clearly shocked by the 'battle-damaged' tomb, but he quickly recovered.

While Li Xia was carrying out the preliminary tasks, he didn't just wait around. Instead, he took advantage of this time to gain command authority, and at least on the surface, everyone acknowledged his command authority.

Here and now, what Li Xia saw was a warmonger calmly and methodically directing the operation:

"Team A, you go to the outer perimeter and set up observation posts, layer by layer, leaving no blind spots, and expand the reconnaissance range to 5 kilometers."

"Team B, establish logistical support facilities on site, double return totem, emergency medical bay."

"Team C, clear out the surrounding monsters and make sure we're the only ones here!"

"Teams D and E, prepare yourselves and be ready to engage in battle at any time. Battle formation: Plan 1!"

"The remaining solo players and lone wolves are free to explore the surrounding area. Valuable clues can be sent to me for compilation. If they are indeed valuable, they can be counted as your battlefield contribution, and our guilds will jointly issue you a reward after the battle!"

After saying all this, the war maniac seemed to have just noticed Li Xia standing in front of the teleportation array and walked over enthusiastically:

"Brother, you've worked hard. Go and get some rest. We'll take care of the tough battles to come."

Li Xia narrowed her eyes, seemingly not having heard, and instead of answering directly, said:

"My entourage is still elsewhere, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation. Watching his figure gradually disappear, the war maniac's eyes flickered for a moment before he sneered twice.

Li Xia floated up through the hole she had made, which allowed her to see directly into the sky.

A message was sent in the team channel:

"Be prepared for us to fight the divine kingdom alone. These guys are unreliable!"

Without the mist, the Forbidden Forest didn't seem so strange anymore. Some of the twisted vegetation looked exceptionally lush in the sunlight, possessing a kind of pruned beauty. The paths trodden by adventurers were still there, winding across the land like plant roots, eventually converging on a main road.

Li Xia was not in a hurry; this was the most peaceful period in this global struggle.

"The guild is completely rotten. It looks well-organized, but it's actually useless."

The best thing to do is to have a proper conversation with me, the person who knows the situation best. I was originally planning to talk to him about the Kingdom of God.

After all, only by winning the global war can the rewards be maximized.

Without the slightest hesitation, Aowu immediately said:

"Boss, are they trying to squeeze you out? Because you're strong and you were the first to arrive, they're afraid you'll steal the credit and won't get the lion's share when the hall of responsibility is distributed!"

"Yes, that's why I find it ridiculous. They haven't even won yet, and they're already thinking about how to divide the credit at the end."

The team chat fell silent for a moment, as Aowu and Heitan were shocked by what could only be described as 'idiotic'.

Li Xia then recalled Ainz's words: "The weakest hall of magic."

He had a vague feeling that the reason why the Temple of Light was the weakest was largely due to its current distorted ecosystem.

Guilds are like parasites, living off the halls of power. Even with constant suppression, it can only slow down the rate at which guilds leech off others, but cannot cure the problem.

Why would the Temple of Light allow this situation to arise?

Li Xia didn't understand, but the golden-armored Ainz seemed to know, though he didn't say anything.

Most importantly, other halls certainly don't have this kind of distorted ecosystem, and the guilds are definitely not as powerful as those in the Hall of Light.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Li Xia snapped out of her deep thoughts and, after a moment's consideration, stated her plan:

"Let's meet up first. The Moon Silver Wolves and their gang haven't left, have they?"

"No--"

Awoo paused for a moment, his voice strained as he said dryly, "I can't hold back anymore."

"Aria spends all her time in those little taverns now, the kind of places where low-level adventurers like to gather, where you can get a big glass of wine for 4 copper coins."

She drinks heavily every day and brags to those adventurers, about daring to explore ancient tombs and delve into their deepest levels.

Awoo complained wildly: "And the other three Moon Silver Wolves seem quite composed, especially Yuna and that silent archer."

After downing two large glasses of wine, he joined in the boasting. When he sobered up, he felt ashamed and drank again that night, continuing to boast.

No wonder these four got together; they're all kindred spirits!

Li Xia paused for a moment:
"Let them be. As long as they haven't left, it's fine. The Moon Silver Wolf team is not bad. At least they can really help when there's a problem. They are people from the original world."

They know this place far better than we do.

My next plan is to hire them to go with me to Ace University.

Now that the battle for the world has begun, it means that the 'divine kingdom' has also occupied a place.

I'm very curious about what method they used.
