"Then count me in as well," Longxing World said calmly.
Someone exclaimed, "Leader, how can we let you join the front line... "
"Hehe, what’s a can or can’t? Although I’m the guild leader, I’m also a member of the guild. If I, as the leader, don’t step up, how can I expect my brothers to give it their all? Now we have three, we need two more, anyone else?"
"I’ll join!" Hao Mie said in a deep voice.
He was already extremely confident in his own strength, and with a few pieces of Top-Grade Equipment he acquired yesterday, he was even more firm in his conviction. The stronger the more formidable, not only in strength but also as a mindset. He was really looking forward to the White Dragon’s loot this time.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t speak up.
He was confident in the power of his Swordsmanship, but facing the White Dragon’s Attack was not an easy task. Therefore, he decided to stick to the second row. After all, the gap was not huge, and as long as he could deal substantial damage, he could earn more points through his contributions.
"I’ll do it!" Dragon Control declared proudly.
"Count me in!" Zilong Unrivaled also said in a firm voice.
"You two forget it, a General without speed is a sitting duck, I have to be the one this time." The speaker was a 36-level Xuan Tie Guard named Bhahamut, who had barely been noticeable in the previous guild battles.
The reason was somewhat helpless, as Xuan Tie Guards, while extremely durable, did very limited damage. Their weapons were merely single soldiers with shields, more defensive than offensive, and they were also clad in Heavy Armor that slowed them.
So in a large-scale battle, they were basically tough to kill but also found it hard to take anyone out,
However, for this dragon slaying, having a traditional Tank Profession is quite useful.
"Alright, the front row is set. Next, let’s have the second row sign up."
This time, many more signed up, including Dragon Control, Zilong Unrivaled, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, Dragon’s Illusion, Xia Yi the Unrivaled, An Ran... even Jiu Jianxian and I Want to Be Immortal enlisted. In all, more than thirty people gathered, including the guild’s core melee fighters and high-end combatants from various branches.
Next were the sign-ups for the rear row, also known as the range group.
Even more people signed up for this group because compared to the front and second rows, this group was much safer. They were all ranged Professions, which meant direct engagement in the combat, so most who didn’t have assigned tasks aimed for this.
However, a Master Level requirement on remote weapons skills excluded most, and ultimately, just over forty people were selected.

Long Xingtianxia stressed certain instructions carefully to Hong Fu Qitian.
"Hong Fu Qitian, if everything goes smoothly today, all is well. But if things go awry, you know what to do, right?"
Hong Fu Qitian, with a wry smile, said, "I know, I know, it’s just summoning, right? Listen, boss, after we build the country, stop assigning me these stressful tasks. Look at me, I’m barely in my twenties and already look so haggard. If this keeps up, I fear I won’t live much longer."
Hearing this, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but glance sideways, "Crap, this guy is only in his twenties? He looks like he’s in his forties or fifties! I thought he was just mature, but now I realize, has he shortened his Life Span by summoning too much?..."
Being a Divine Descent Master is not something just anyone can handle.
Long Xingtianxia said, "Don’t worry, when the time comes to Divine Enthronement, you’ll be the first one I honor."
Although Hong Fu Qitian didn’t say much, Xiao Jie had a feeling that he probably rolled his eyes behind the screen.
Next were the sign-ups for the vigilance group, and this was a relatively relaxed group. As long as there was no trouble from other guilds, it was essentially risk-free.
Little Dragon Shrimp signed up again; after luring the monster, he’d directly run to the Outer Circle to be on guard. It was like having an additional part-time job, earning an extra wage. Xiao Jie also spotted Jiuxiao Huanpei, who had helped him with exorcism before, in this group.
The rest, a motley crew of over a hundred, were all placed in what’s called the Outer Circle, or the atmosphere group.
Of course, it’s not to say the Outer Circle was entirely useless. If an intruder harassed them, or if the BOSS almost finished off everyone else but was left with a sliver of health, this motley crew could still be somewhat handy.
Consider it a substitute, part-time reserve team.
"Everyone, take your positions!"
The vigilance group summoned their Mounts and began patrolling the cliffs around Luoxue Valley.
The first row, second row, rear row, and Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
Xiao Jie and the other four lined up and took their places around the entrance of the ravine, ready to welcome the first wave of the White Dragon’s assault.
Xiao Jie was still quite confident internally, for one because his teammates were all powerful.
Secondly, his Big Move was fully cooled down for the day, not only having the lifesaving Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow at its peak but also the Jiao Long Transformation.
Behind the five of them were over thirty powerful melee fighters.
Further back were the ranged Professions, spread out in their positions.

"Everyone—buff up!" Long Xingtianxia commanded, and the players started consuming the elixirs, talismans, and food provided by the logistical group.
Dragon Fire Heart Warmer Pill, Cold Resistance Charm, Burning Blade, Spicy Meat Soup...
Among them were many items dropped by the Azure Dragon,
Xiao Jie was also buffing up.
Cold Resistance Charm—Ice Resistance +10.
Dragon Fire Heart Warmer Pill—Ice Resistance +20.
Burning Blade—Gain buff state: Cozy Warmth. Duration of freezing effects reduced by 30%.
Spicy Meat Soup—Gain buff state: Scalding Heat. Damage received from freezing reduced by 10 points.
With all buffs applied, everything was ready.
Long Xingtianxia said solemnly, "Little Dragon Shrimp, it’s your turn!"
"At your command!" With a deep leap, Little Dragon Shrimp jumped into the rift.
The Dragon Slayer battle officially began.
