Volume 18, Chapter 200 A Bigger Problem
Chapter 200 A bigger problem
Coming out of the teleportation array in Starry Night City, the first thing I saw was the empty teleportation hall. This jointly built city is not big to begin with, and several other guilds in the city have gone to the front line to resist the Russians. Now, except for the people from the White Fox Alliance, there are only some NPCs left in the city. The teleportation array is a high-cost item, just like airplanes in reality. Although it cannot be said that it is absolutely unaffordable, NPCs generally will not use the teleportation array unless necessary, so now the entire teleportation hall is empty, like a ghost house.
After leaving the teleportation hall, the situation outside is similar to the teleportation array. Although there were NPCs walking back and forth on the street, the flow of people was sparse and it looked very depressed.
Following the route map provided by the God of War, I quickly found the headquarters of the White Fox Alliance. This is a Chinese-style building, but it is not a later dynasty building such as the Tang and Qing Dynasties, but something from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is the kind of multi-story fortress-style building that appeared in Japanese and Warring States cartoons. The entire first floor of the building is a high platform, which is one level higher than the nearby buildings. The second floor of the building is actually the real first floor. It is a hall that runs from front to back. Apart from the pillars, there is only one staircase leading to the second floor. The real functional buildings actually start from the third floor.
Because there were few people on the street and I was more conspicuous riding Ye Ying, the other party noticed me almost at the same time I saw the castle-like fortress building. When I arrived at the front of the building, all members of the other party were already standing at the railing at the edge of the second floor of the building, and the president and vice-president of the other party were standing at the entrance to the high platform stairs.
The castle-style building of the White Fox League actually existed as a family fortress in ancient times, so its defensive purpose was obvious. The high platform on the first floor is more like a city wall than a foundation, and the passage leading to the platform does not protrude outside the platform, but is recessed inside the platform. Looking up from the entrance to the first floor of the staircase, this staircase is basically a narrow passage like a line to the sky. There are arrow stands above the heads on both sides of the passage where people can stand, and the entire front of the castle tower from the second floor to the top, archers on any floor can attack this passage. In addition, the small holes reserved on the walls on both sides of the passage are probably not a good thing. Behind them are either hidden archers or spears. It can be said that if the opponent wants to attack this channel, if you can't fly and the difference in strength is not too big, you won't be able to rush up with ten times the number of people. Of course, a person with strong assault power like me would definitely not care.
I stood under the stage and looked at the circle of archers standing on the edge of the high platform and the president and vice president of the White Fox Alliance at the top of the long steps. I couldn't figure out what they meant for a while. This group of people are all standing at the gate, which can be said to be welcoming or blocking. After all, these women are all armed with weapons, especially the archers above. The bows are all equipped with arrows, and the bowstrings are already light. I opened it slightly, but didn't point the arrow at me.
"President Xueying. Are you lining up to welcome me...or do you want to kill me?" Since the other party has taken an ambiguous position, I will let them sort out the relationship by themselves, at least they will not let me fall behind in the future. People's words.
Among the two beauties standing at the top of the high platform, the president, Xueying, who was wearing a white traditional dress, said in a very sweet voice: "This is not our decision. It is up to you to welcome or reject. Purple Sun Club If the president is here to appease us, then we will naturally welcome him, but if the president is here to help those bitches bully us..." At this point, Xue Ying's sweet voice suddenly changed to an unusually cold voice: "We You should fight to the death to keep your integrity."
Hearing Xue Ying's words, I almost fell off Ye Ying's back. What does it mean to fight to the death? Those who knew knew that I was here to deal with alliance disputes, but those who didn't knew thought that this was a group of chaste and fierce women resisting the invasion of flower-picking thieves.
"What did President Xueying say? I'm not a flower picker. Where do you start talking about keeping a festival?"
"The president understands what I mean and doesn't need me to explain."
Well, this beautiful girl who looks very weak is actually a master who doesn't know how to deal with anything. It seems that if she is not good at literature, she has to use martial arts. No matter what, they have made it clear that they are not convinced by me, and they will not listen to anything I say until I convince them, so it is better to take action as soon as possible to avoid wasting time.
"In that case, let me speak frankly. It's okay for the White Fox Alliance to have grievances, but you should not openly leave the alliance and not say hello to us. Although the battle has not started yet, it is already a confrontation. Because You suddenly left, and a hole was directly penetrated in our defense line. What if the Russian army happened to launch a counterattack at that time, and used the area you were guarding as the focus of the attack? What would our defense line do? This time, although the Russians did not take advantage of the opportunity Launch a counterattack, but with your example here, if I don't punish you, you ask yourself, what should I do next time a similar incident happens? Watch the defense line collapse? Invest billions of crystal coins to give you nothing to lose? "
"President Ziri, we know that we did make a mistake in leaving suddenly this time. It's just that the Shannan Sisters started the matter, and it's not our fault. You don't punish them, but you find trouble for us. Do you think we are easy to bully? "
"Hmph!" I snorted coldly, and then asked: "Is it easy to bully? Is there any guild in front of me that is not easy to bully? The Shannan Sisters are at fault first. I have investigated this matter clearly. I will deal with you after I will go to them to settle the accounts here. But if they make mistakes, it is their fault in the first place. Can you just follow them when they make mistakes? Although the alliance system is not a law, for the integrity of the alliance, I must ensure that Its absolute authority. Wrong is wrong, no matter you have millions of reasons."
"Then there's no more talk?" Xueying's voice turned cold and said: "Then let us see how powerful President Ziri is. Anyway, you think it's honorable to bully girls like us."
I sneered, then put down my mask and said, "Playing tricks on me? You're making me easy!"
Xueying's intention was obvious. She wanted to make me afraid to do anything because she was afraid of the reputation of attacking women. But she didn't know that when I was in my position, there were actually many things that I didn't need to care about. This is like a murderer committing a heinous crime if he kills an ordinary citizen. Back then, Napoleon dared to set up cannons on the streets to bombard the civilian army, but he was still the object of admiration. There is also an allusion in China that says that killing one person is considered a thief, and killing millions is considered a hero. I don’t know if I have killed a million people, but even if it is not enough, it should be close, so I feel that I can definitely be included in the ranks of heroes. So now that you have entered the ranks of heroes, bullying others is no longer called bullying, but called righteousness. So Xueying is just dreaming if she wants to use this reputation to scare me.
As soon as Xueying heard what I said and saw that I even put down the helmet visor, he immediately knew that he couldn't escape today. She waved her hand, and all the archers in front of the attic let go almost at the same time, and a large dense mass of arrows covered them like a dark cloud.
Looking at the large number of arrows pressed down by the hooded face, I didn't even move at all. Jingjing suddenly appeared in front of me, and a huge shield was erected above my head to catch all the arrows that were 'shot'. Blocked. After one round of arrow rain, the opponent did not stop, and the second wave of arrow rain followed immediately. However, compared with the previous batch, the order of firing of this wave of arrow rain was obviously much more chaotic.
Jingjing stood there motionless with the shield on her head. The arrows shot from the sky kept hitting the light shield and then sliding away. Apart from consuming a little bit of Jingjing's magic power, it was almost useless. Make a difference.
Seeing that the arrow rain was completely ineffective, Xueying waved his hand again and stepped aside. A player carrying something like a rocket launcher flashed out from behind her, and then pressed it towards us. A missile with a long tail flame immediately flew out of the launch tube and hit Jingjing's head. On the shield. Just hearing a loud bang, accompanied by flames all over the sky, Jingjing was blown back several steps before she could stabilize her figure, and my expression also changed.
I put my hand on Jingjing's shoulder, and Jingjing immediately retracted her shield and disappeared into the space door. Then I crossed my legs, and Ye Ying immediately rushed up the steps, crossing the entire step and jumping to the top of the second floor platform in one step. Xueying didn't expect us to be so fast at all, so she hurriedly dodged back, but I didn't come for her at all. The eternal hook and sickle in my hand penetrated the shoulder of the player carrying the launcher, and then the hook and sickle turned, and the erect hook and sickle just hooked the launcher. Follow me back to the area, then The launcher flew directly off the player's shoulder and flew into my hand.
After bringing the launcher in front of me, I skillfully turned and pinched the handle under the launcher, and the handle of the launcher fell off with a click. Turning over the launch tube, I saw a big hole exposed where the launch tube and the handle were originally connected. Looking through the entrance of the cave, there are several relatively small but quite complex magic devices inside. I pulled out one of the small devices and found a row of codes on it.
After seeing that row of codes, I was so angry that I laughed. "Humph, it seems that some people are turning a deaf ear to what I say!"
Xueying didn't react much when she found out that I had snatched the launcher, but seeing my expression, she probably thought of what this thing might have reminded me of. "Why are you so excited about taking apart a broken part?"
"Because this broken part allowed me to find some moths that could destroy the entire levee." I took the launcher and shook it at Xue Ying and said, "Where did you get this thing?"
"Why should I tell you?"
I said in a cold voice: "I thought you were the victims before, and you rebelled against the alliance for a while. I planned to teach you a lesson. But things have been completely different since you just took out this thing. Now I will Give you one last chance. Actively cooperate with me to find out the whole story, return to the alliance and accept the punishment. I guarantee you will not suffer too much loss. Resist to the end, and I will make it impossible for you to stay in China in the future." After I finished speaking, I looked up again. He said loudly to the surrounding members of the White Fox Alliance: "You are the same. Choose to withdraw from the membership now, apologize to the alliance in a personal capacity, and then choose to join other guilds in the alliance or join the alliance as an individual. I will treat this matter as if nothing happened. will happen. However, if you want to stay in this guild and your guild leader chooses to resist, I guarantee that those who remain will never want to go beyond level 20."
What I said was actually very harsh. After all, it was tantamount to forcing people to delete their accounts. Although such a serious threat sounds uncomfortable, it is definitely shocking enough. Even some who had been very determined began to hesitate.
In fact, if it were an ordinary guild and I issued such a threat, most of the guilds would collapse in an instant. The reason why the White Fox Alliance has been able to survive until now is mainly due to the structure of this guild. Like most micro-guilds, the White Fox League is actually a small group guild, which means that most of the members of the White Fox League actually know each other. The members of the entire guild are all direct or indirect acquaintances outside the game. After entering the game, everyone can connect with each other and form a guild. Many micro-guilds are established with such a structure, and some of the basic components of this structure are based on a certain class or a certain school, and some are based on a certain company or a certain circle of enthusiasts. Of course some are based on an extended family. Micro-guilds like this are common in various countries, and although such guilds are difficult to grow, they are far superior to ordinary guilds in terms of unity. After all, the game identity is virtual, but the real identity is real. For the sake of real-life relationships, it is naturally impossible for everyone in the game to betray each other for the benefit of the game, so such guilds are usually monolithic. Of course, whether we can persist to the end depends on the intimacy of the group. For example, if a micro guild is formed as a family unit, all the people in the guild belong to cousins, uncles, and aunts. Such a guild will definitely be indivisible no matter what happens. But some micro-guilds, such as fan groups or school groups, are much worse than family guilds.
Although I have not investigated the specific composition of the White Fox Alliance, if I am not mistaken, it should be a college-type guild, because in terms of age, the members of the entire guild are basically college students, and the opponents are all women. Sex', and appearance are both above average. So I estimate that this is probably a campus group-type micro guild formed by some pretty girls based on a certain school. It can be said that such a guild is relatively united in general matters, but when it comes to threats like the one I just announced, that is not necessarily the case. After all, we are just classmates in the same school, not deskmates or particularly close friends. There is no need for me to bury you with you when you make a mistake, right?
really. After hesitating for a few seconds, someone immediately shouted: "I quit!"
The first person to call out was naturally despised by others, and the eyes of the whole audience were instantly focused on it. But with the leader taking the lead, the second and third people who quit the meeting soon appeared one after another, and in the end, more than half of the people were there. Everyone announced that they were quitting. However, they have only announced that they are quitting, and have no plans to actually quit. After all, if Xueying doesn't plan to fight me to the end, the guild will be forgiven and there will be no need for them to quit.
When no one shouted to quit and everyone's eyes turned back to him, Xueying finally realized that it was time to make his own decision. She looked around, then hesitated. After a while, her vice president suddenly put his hand on her shoulder and persuaded: "Xue, should we admit our mistake?"
Xueying glanced at the vice president next to her, and then hesitated for a long time. I couldn't keep waiting for her to think slowly, so I urged: "Give you one more minute. If you don't make a decision, then I will help you make a decision."
Probably knowing that there was no way to retreat now, Xueying did not think about it for another minute, but made a decision less than five seconds after I finished speaking. She suddenly raised her head and looked at me firmly and said, "No, I would rather be killed by you and go back to Novice Village than admit my mistake."
"Okay, very good." I said and looked at the vice president of the White Fox Alliance who persuaded her and said, "What's your decision? She plans to fight me to the end. What about you?" Seeing that she was about to speak, I hurriedly He said first: "Don't worry, I will say it first. Choosing to follow her means that you have no future in the game. If you feel that your White Fox Alliance should not suffer such a result... let me give you a suggestion." Seeing her expression of waiting for the next step, I understood that she actually didn't want to follow Xueying and confront me. "You want to help the White Fox League and other sisters in the guild, it's easy. My suggestion to you is to branch out. Split the White Fox League into two *** guilds, and you will be the president of the new White Fox League , form a new guild with the sisters who don’t want to go against me. How about it? My suggestion is acceptable, right?"
After hearing my words, the vice-president first looked at the snow shadow next to him, then at the sisters standing on the attic, and finally made up his mind and raised one hand and shouted: "Split the alliance. Those who don't want to stay Sister, follow me and meet on the street. We won’t get involved in this mess.” As she shouted, most of the people upstairs immediately left the attic and ran to the street outside. They are all people who don’t want to follow Xueying and confront me, and judging from the number of people, there are many more people than those who raised their hands before. The entire White Fox Alliance originally had a small number of people, but now the remaining members are less than twenty plus one. It can be said that their number is close to the bottom line of the guild. The latest regulations of the system are that a guild must have at least ten or more players before it can establish a guild. Currently, the White Fox Alliance only has sixteen people left including Xueying himself, four less. It will be automatically disbanded.
Seeing that most of his members stopped following him, Xueying's expression turned frosty. She looked at me and gritted her teeth and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Don't make it sound like you have been wronged a lot. To tell you the truth, the previous separation from the alliance was not a big deal at all. As long as you act a little more politely, lower your attitude, and talk to the other guilds in the alliance, Sorry, actually there will be no real punishment. But since you took out this launcher, you have violated not the interests of the alliance, but the interests of our Frost Rose Alliance, and this time you violated Our substantial interests have been violated. Therefore, unless you can give me an explanation, I will let you know the consequences of violating the bottom line of the Frost Rose Alliance's interests."
