Chapter 309 Chaos
"Our employers come from three guilds. One of them you should know is the guild formed by the rebels."
I shook my head and said, "I know very little information about the Tianji League, so it would be better for you to make it clearer."
After hearing what I said, he started to introduce it seriously. "This guild is actually part of the former Tianji League. Most of the people in it are original members of the Tianji League, and the resources and cities they occupy are also the property of the past Tianji League, so they basically started from A splintered part of the Tianji Alliance."
I nodded and asked, "I know the general situation, but do you have the specific information?"
"We don't have anything too specific, but we know that this guild is called the Tiandihui."
"Tiandihui?" When I suddenly heard this name, I immediately thought of the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is obvious that this Tiandihui and that Tiandihui are not the same thing at all. The two should be completely unrelated, they are just the same name. .
The old man probably knew that I would be surprised, so he didn't react to my surprise. Instead, he continued to introduce: "Because this guild was split from the Tianji League, it is currently in a relatively chaotic state internally. Their The guild headquarters is located in Tiandu City, the previous guild main city of Tianji League. However, the city seems to have been downgraded to a medium-sized city due to the rebellion, and the damage is very serious, and it is likely that it will continue in the future. Downgraded to a small or medium-sized city.”
"Do they have any other cities besides this one?"
"There are also three cities, one of which is a medium-sized city, a small city and a commercial city. But that commercial city is a system city, and Tianji League only became a guardian guild at the beginning, not the city owner. Now Because of the rebellion, the specific ownership of this city is not yet clear. There seem to be different voices on the NPC side. Some people think that the other party's guardian guild status should be terminated, while others think it should be handed over to the newly formed Tiandi Guild. , and some think that the city should be handed over to Tianji League again. Now the three aspects cannot convince each other. So for the time being, how the city will be divided has not been decided. However, the other two are Tianji League and have already implemented it. controlled city."
"I remember that the Tianji Alliance had more than just these cities, right?"
"Of course. The Tianji League before the rebellion was still very large. At that time, in addition to the super city of Tiandu City, they had three large cities and more than ten medium-sized cities, and there were even more small cities. But there were countless small cities. During the rebellion, in addition to the independence of the Tiandihui, many small forces also dispersed. The current Tiandihui is actually only the most powerful group among the rebels. Many people who participated in the rebellion at that time did not survive after the rebellion was successful. Instead of joining the Tiandi Association, he set up his own business and created many small guilds. The cities you mentioned are basically scattered in the hands of these small guilds. Of course, some were occupied by the former enemies of the Tianji League. Anyway, now The Tiandihui actually didn’t get much.”
"Will the hozen scatter when the tree falls?" I couldn't help but sigh.
The old man obviously has a lot of knowledge about ancient Chinese literature. After hearing what I said, he actually said: "If it wasn't for a group of hozens, how could that tree fall?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at the old man twice. To be honest, many of this old man's opinions and ways of doing things are quite good, but it's a pity that this guy is Korean. Considering the self-esteem of Koreans, it is unlikely that he will truly join our guild, so I have no intention of recruiting him. If he were a player from a certain European country or an African, I would definitely not let this guy go.
"Okay, now tell me the current situation of this guild. Their personnel size and combat effectiveness, as well as the location of those cities."
The old man said in embarrassment: "We have ready-made city locations here. But if you want me to tell you about the other party's guild personnel configuration, I can't help it! That Tiandihui has just completed its separation, and they are also in chaos internally. Even they themselves may not know how much their current combat power can be preserved, let alone us. However, we do know their approximate number. It seems that the current number of players is probably more than 2,000."
"More than two thousand players? Isn't that a lot!"
"This is actually very few. You must know that the number of guild members before the disintegration of Tianji League has exceeded 100,000. Now I estimate that the remaining members of Tianji League are only two thousand until they die. There can be so many people in that Tianji League. It’s not easy.”
"Ignore this for now. Please tell me the information about the remaining two guilds."
"Okay. The remaining two guilds are two very strange guilds." The old man said while thinking: "One of the guilds is the famous Co-Prosperity Society. And the other one is a company called The Guild of the Northwest Wind.”
"What a strange name."
"Not only is the name strange, but the situation of the guild is also strange." The old man began to introduce to me in detail the information he knew. According to him, this Co-Prosperity Society seemed to have problems, but because of the old man's The guild is not a large guild, and what is known about it is only superficial. So the useful information is actually very limited. In addition, the guild called Northwest Wind is even stranger than these two guilds. It is said that the number of personnel in this northwest wind is very small, and their work is very low-key, but their combat effectiveness is very strong, the equipment is very good, and there are a lot of auxiliary equipment, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.
Honestly. The old man's description of the northwest wind made me think of the first thing not as a player's guild, but as a small group of special forces. Only the special forces squads that are supported by a certain superpower and are responsible for performing overseas missions will show the characteristics of the Northwest Wind Guild. First of all, they act in a low-key manner, which is inconsistent with the behavior of ordinary guilds. After all, the guild wants to develop and move forward smoothly, so there is no need to deliberately keep a low profile. Recruiting people into a guild requires reputation. Even if you have good players in a little-known guild, you won't be able to join. Therefore, a normal guild may not cause trouble, but it is unlikely that it will keep a low profile.
This second point. According to the old man, the equipment of this guild is very good and there are a lot of auxiliary equipment. This is obviously wrong. One or two people with good equipment can be said to be lucky or bought with money, but the equipment of the entire guild is very good, which shows that there are people behind this guild. You must know that even in our guild, there are still some players who can only wear the standard equipment of the guild, although the properties of the standard equipment of our guild are actually quite good. But after all, it is just the best among ordinary equipment, not something that is awesome. But according to the old man, the equipment used by the players in this guild is not standard equipment, but all of them are very high-end products. Except for the main teams in large guilds, it is difficult for me to imagine that a small guild might have such a configuration.
This third point is the biggest doubt. The old man said that this business has auxiliary equipment, which are magical technological products built by players themselves, and there are many such things. This is obviously an abnormal situation. If the other party's guild has tens of thousands of people. There are some talented researchers among them, and I can understand why they have come up with some auxiliary equipment. But according to the information the old man knew, there seemed to be only four to five hundred people in this guild, and they were all combat players. With this configuration ratio, it is obviously impossible to have enough manpower to engage in scientific research, so their equipment can only come from other places.
All these signs point to the fact that Northwest Wind is probably an infiltration force supported by foreign guilds, and if nothing else, they should be minions of the Russians.
Russia is very close to South Korea, and the situation we encountered in Japan before shows that Russia has not actually given up its invasion of these Asian countries. It's just that their goals were too high before. The first target was our country. However, they hit a snag and all subsequent plans were suspended. However, as the saying goes, one learns from each experience. The Russians suffered a big loss in our country and lost a tooth. Now they are smart. Shift the strategic focus and attack South Korea and Japan first. Then deal with our country. However, this is all superficial. Judging from the intelligence we have, the Russians' goal is still to occupy China, but they just thought of using South Korea and Japan to contain our effective forces.
Of course I would not explain these big strategic things to the old man. After listening to the information provided by the other party, I left the place directly. Although the other party's information is very incomplete, at least it has constructed a guild chart for me that is directly related to Tianji League. I just need to search according to this chart to solve Tianji League's current predicament.
Although the information I received from the old man showed that the Heaven and Earth Society seemed to be the largest force among the three guilds, I actually knew that this Heaven and Earth Society was the weakest.
This Tiandi Club is an out-and-out Korean local force, and its internal personnel have just been classified from the Tianji League, so it is certain that people's hearts will be unstable. And after driving away Park Yin and the others, the original leaders of the Tianji League, the people of this Tiandi League will soon discover that managing a guild is not as simple as it seems.
There is a saying in China that "watching someone eat tofu makes your teeth faster". The moral is that many things seem easy when you watch others do them, but you will find them difficult when you do them yourself. These guys who overthrew the original Tianji League leadership will inevitably need to form their own guild management after establishing their own business, and then they will find that all kinds of trivial matters are coming, and those things will definitely make you busy.
In fact, many guilds are not large in scale at present. This is not because of the lack of qualified players willing to join, nor because of the guild funds, but because the management cannot afford it. There are as many people as there are to take care of. Even though many things in the game have been simplified and only a few people can manage a large group of people, there still needs to be someone to take care of it, right? Therefore, large guilds basically lack management talents, and the larger the guild, the more severe the shortage.
Of course, our guild is an exception because we have Rose and War God. Rose is an economics major, and Military God is a standard battlefield logistics management system. The two of them can basically handle the affairs of the guild. With a few auxiliary managers, our guild basically has no management pressure at all. .
If nothing unexpected happens, the people of this Tiandihui should be troubled by various trivial matters that are messy within the guild. Of course, these things are not difficult to deal with, and they will get used to them soon. But at least in the short term, their guild will hardly produce any combat effectiveness. After all, the management itself is in chaos, so how can it have time to organize members to fight?
As for the other two guilds... I won’t talk about the Co-Prosperity Society. Northwest Wind is completely a special forces group that goes deep behind enemy lines. The combat effectiveness of this kind of guild cannot be estimated according to ordinary guilds. Their entire guild should be calculated as an army. In this case, it is more reliable. However, my current information on these two guilds is very limited, so I cannot estimate their combat effectiveness for the time being.
Since the information on those two guilds is incomplete, I will first find trouble with the Tiandi Guild. This guild is the weakest among the three guilds. I don't have any helpers around me now. If I go alone, I might have trouble meeting a guild backed by foreign forces. This Tiandi Guild seems to be easier to bully.
After thinking about my goal, I no longer hesitated, but quickly flew towards the headquarters city of the Tiandihui.
The current headquarters city used by Tiandihui is where the original guild headquarters of Tianji League was located. This city called Tiandu was formed by the expansion and merger of two system cities. This kind of construction method is actually not uncommon in games, but usually a player's self-built city and a system city are integrated with each other, and this usually happens when the player deliberately builds a city close to the system city. Then rely on the advantage of the two cities being close together to launch a siege war. Therefore, in the early stages of construction of that kind of city, it has already been determined that the system city will become a part of the city.
but. The structure of Tiandu City is not like this. This Tiandu City was originally two system cities, but the distance between them was very small. After the Tianji League occupied these two cities, they upgraded and expanded them. In the end, both cities were upgraded into large cities, and between them The originally small distance between them was now only two kilometers away.
Although two thousand meters is quite long for a person, for the two cities, such a small distance is basically equivalent to being next to each other. Therefore, after some consideration, the Tianji Alliance simply demolished the walls of the two cities facing each other, and then started to build the walls from the gap opened towards the other side's wall. When the walls of the two cities come together. The two cities will automatically combine into one city.
This kind of merger of large cities has many benefits. First, it can save a management system. After all, there were originally two cities and now they are one. Even though the scale has expanded, the total number of managers has actually dropped a lot. In addition, merging two cities into one can also superimpose the war value and other city attributes of the other city onto the other. This Tiandu City was upgraded to a super city because of the merger of the two original large cities. But now it seems. The future of this super city is really in danger!
Although I had heard before I came that Tiandu City had been severely damaged and was currently in danger of being downgraded, when I got here I realized that my previous guesses were still too conservative. Where is the serious damage here? This is obviously completely destroyed!
If you look down at the original Tianducheng from the air, you will find that it was shaped like a dumbbell, with two large ends and a relatively thinner middle. However, now I look down from the sky and can clearly see that one end of the huge dumbbell in Tianducheng has completely turned into a sea of fire. What's even more shocking is that the other half of the city is not undergoing restoration and construction, but there seems to be a...fight?
I don't know how to describe the situation of those below. Judging from their appearance, it was obviously not a guild battle, because I didn't see any siege equipment, and there was no distinction between the enemy and ourselves. Below are large groups of players mingling together, and then constantly attacking each other. Sometimes they even demolish houses, and they don't know what they are doing. Look at the signs on those people. These people fighting each other are actually from the same guild, that is, people from the Heaven and Earth Association. Such a large group of members gathered together to fight, and all of them were members of their own guild. The other party's leadership actually didn't come out to take care of it. The level of chaos in this Tiandi Association can be seen.
Looking at the chaotic crowd below, I thought about it and guarded the flying bird directly, then directly rode on Yeying and parachuted to an area inside the city with relatively few people.
Although there are relatively few people, there is no one here. In addition, I came down from the sky, and many people around me saw me landing, so I just landed here, and there were many people around me immediately. Come over.
The players of the Tiandihui are basically members of the original Tianji League. It is true that they have defected to establish their own faction now, but after all, they are all from the Tianji League. In the past, our Frost Rose Alliance and Tianji Alliance were cooperative guilds, so as a member of Tianji Alliance, almost all of these people know me. Just now I saw a black stream of light falling from the sky. When they got closer, they realized it was me. Those people were all stunned on the spot.
"Where is your president?" I asked directly without paying attention to the Korean players who were in a daze around me.
Those who were asked were stunned for a moment, and then they didn't know where they got the courage. One of the guys suddenly stood up and turned his back to me and pointed a finger in my direction, shouting to the people behind him: "This Ziri is not a good thing, they capitalists will exploit us. Our hard-earned money Most of them were squeezed dry by these foreign capitalists and that bitch Park Eun. All of us..."
The guy could no longer continue what he said, because a black and shiny gun tip came out of his mouth, and if you look back along the gun tip, you can see that it passed through the back of his head and connected The long handle of the gun in my hand. That's right, I used the ever-changing hook and sickle gun to make a hole in this guy's head directly from the back of his head to his mouth.
I rode on the back of Yeying and held the eternal hook sickle in one hand and said: "Although I have a good temper, it doesn't mean that others can scold me casually. I don't know what purpose you have to arrange me. I don't want to know. But , if you offend me, you must be prepared to be killed at any time." I said and drew back the eternal hook sickle, and the guy immediately fell to the ground softly, and his body shook twice and stopped moving.
The crowd surrounding me became silent for a moment. Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground with half-open mouths in surprise. They really didn't expect that I would come up and kill people indiscriminately.
Seeing the dull crowd around me, I had no intention of saying anything to them, so I pinched Ye Ying's belly to signal him to move forward. Ye Ying followed my instructions and started to move forward. Those who were blocking the road immediately woke up when they felt Ye Ying's huge figure pressing over them and hurried to the side, while we walked through the crowd as if nothing had happened. .
I just walked out of the crowd here. Someone in the crowd behind suddenly started shouting again. Although I didn't pay attention to the other person's words, I understood the general meaning. It's nothing more than saying that I despise them or something. Anyway, it just stirs up hostility between me and these players.
To be honest, I originally thought that the situation on the Tiandihui side was the best to solve, but now it seems that things are much more complicated than imagined. It seems that this Tiandihui has also been used as a gunman. Including the guy I just killed. And the one who is shouting from behind now. These people are obviously inciting the emotions of the players within the Tiandihui and putting them in a state of frenzy. To put it simply, they are causing riots.
Human beings are social creatures, so humans have the habit of following the crowd. When a group of people exhibits a certain uniform behavior, even if you are not originally a member of the group, you will be affected unconsciously. If your own concentration is slightly weaker, you will immediately be affected by the crowd and become one of them, and this is how most incidents such as riots are triggered. Maybe what started out was just a small group of a few people deliberately causing damage. But as these people behave, more and more people will be mobilized, and eventually it will become a collective behavior of a large group of people.
The guy I killed just now and the person who is now instigating ordinary Tiandihui players to fight me, their methods are terrible, their purpose is too strong, and they are in great contrast with the people around them. It can be seen that this is the first time for these people to do such a thing. The technique is very amateurish, but the effect is not very bad. After all, the intelligence of a crowd is actually not as good as that of a single person, because once a person enters a group, his thinking will become part of the group. At this time, many things that are usually noticed will be ignored, and once the mood is affected by the group, people will enter a state of madness. In this state, there is actually not much difference between an individual and a beast.
Although I heard the instigation of the person behind me, I mainly wanted to find the president of the Tiandihui to completely solve the trouble here, so I didn't care about the people behind me and just let Ye Ying walk forward. However, we had only walked a few steps when the crowd behind suddenly let out a relatively uniform shout, and then when I turned back, the crowd began to rush towards me collectively.
I was a little stunned when I saw all the players over there rushing forward. I wasn't surprised that I was being chased by so many people, but I was surprised that these people could be so stupid and still charge forward even though they knew my strength. It has to be said that the crowd in the riot has almost no intelligence. Before they calmed down, these people were actually worse than ordinary beasts. At least ordinary beasts knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and would never take the initiative to attack beings who were n levels stronger than themselves. But people in riots can do it. If you think about the mobs in the real world who attack machine gun positions with wooden sticks, you won't find these people in front of you strange.
I was stunned for a moment and then immediately regained my composure. But there was a sudden flash of cold light from behind the opponent's crowd, and an arrow flew out from behind the crowd with a little starlight, and the target was of course me.
To be honest, I didn't expect someone to fire a cold arrow, but judging from the opponent's position, this person was probably one of the people who incited the riot, because his position was not in the crowd, nor was he in the original position of the crowd. It was on the roof of a building further back. Given his position, it was impossible to be instigated because there was no one around him. So that guy must be one of the people responsible for causing the riot, and if the arrow shot at me was not to anger me, it should be because the other party was lucky and wanted to see if they could do something with the help of the mob's cover.
Of course I won't let go of this kind of person. The Korean players in the front can be said to have been instigated, but the guy in the back is a complete terrorist.
"thunder."
Snapped. A golden lightning suddenly flashed beside me, and a humanoid figure flashed away, and the next second it flashed out from the guy's side. The archer on the opposite side was already ready to turn around and run away when he noticed that my eyes were on him, but unfortunately Lei's speed was too fast. Before he could turn around, he heard an arc burst beside him. Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind pressure hit his head.
Although the archer did not have any melee capabilities like the mage, he was not a warrior after all. In desperation, he could only fall back and block it with the long bow in his hand. As a result, there was only a snap sound, and the long bow in his hand flew out directly, but at least he escaped the thunder's claw.
The guy who managed to dodge the blow was smart enough not to get up immediately. Instead, it rolled directly down along the slope of the roof. But he didn't expect that Lei's attack method was so special. Lei, who missed the hit, suddenly opened his arms back, raised his head and roared, a golden thunder suddenly cut through the sky and hit Lei's head directly, but Lei himself was not harmed at all, but radiated to the surroundings. Circles of golden arcs appeared. Although that guy rolled very quickly along the slope of the roof, the speed of lightning was even faster. As soon as he rolled out less than two meters away, he was overtaken by arcs of lightning. Following the arcs, they all gathered together like sharks smelling the smell of blood and wrapped around this guy's body.
He originally planned to roll to the edge of the eaves and use the height difference of the eaves to swing to the opposite roof or escape from the ground, but now that he was caught by lightning, the muscles in the guy's body had completely lost control, and he rolled down from the eaves while twitching. Then he fell heavily to the ground below.
The house only had two floors, and the eaves were only six meters above the ground. Such a height is basically nothing for players in the game. Even a mage can easily jump down from this height without suffering any damage. But that premise is that you have to have both feet on the ground. This guy rolled out while lying on his back, and his muscles all over his body were in spasm, so he was flat on the ground. This uncushioned posture was so lethal that the guy fainted without even grunting after landing. It is still impossible for someone to fall to death from such a height. Of course, it would be a different matter if he fell head first and broke his neck.
The archers over there were taken care of in two seconds, and at this time the crowd on my side had already rushed to my side. Not to mention, a large number of people can indeed embolden each other. Those Korean players who would never dare to show any hostility towards me under normal circumstances actually immediately raised their weapons to attack after rushing to my side. This kind of courage is really exaggerated. Of course, just because they are brave doesn't mean I have to stand there and get beaten.
"Underworld flames." Following my simple command, Ye Ying and I erupted with a blast of blue-purple hell flames that were several feet high. The people rushing around us suddenly threw them away before they could touch us. The weapons began to roll all over the ground, and their bodies seemed to have been doused with gasoline. They were almost on fire. In an instant, all the people around them turned into burning people and rolled all over the ground, and the people behind them also They were ignited one after another, and the fire spread to less than half of the crowd in an instant.
In fact, the hell flame is a flame that can burn any energy, so it is different from ordinary flames. For it, the entire body of a normal creature is fuel, and it is very flammable, so those people He was completely ignited as soon as he got close. It only took more than ten seconds for the terrifying flames to make the person who came into contact with them completely fall to the ground. Looking at their companions who were huddled up in the flames, the Korean players behind them suddenly woke up.
Yes, people in riots are basically irrational. But the instinct of fear of death is still higher than all external emotions. When they see someone dying in front of them, they will immediately wake up. Of course, if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to break away, they will soon be infected by the emotions of other people around them and become thugs again. But at least now these people are completely frightened.
The person who was in the crowd before encouraging everyone to come and kill me was also frightened by the flames in front of him. Although he encouraged the crowd to attack me, he did not rush to the front, but hid at the back. The flames just ignited the people in the front rows, and the people in the back were basically fine. This guy was now on the edge of the flames. Looking at the burnt corpses in front of him, he was also frightened.
This guy was still glad that he didn't rush to the front, but suddenly he noticed that I turned around and came towards him. For people like them, it is business to let others go to the front to die, and of course they have to hide in a safe place. So, when he saw me coming, he turned around and started running without even thinking, obviously not intending to contact me.
In fact, running at this time is useless. As long as they are within my sight, few of the targets I identify can escape. Maybe it is possible for the Protoss. Unless ordinary players have any special skills or props, they will definitely not be able to get rid of me by relying on speed alone.
The guy had just taken two steps when he noticed that a large black smoke suddenly appeared in the space in front of him. The smoke gathered at a very fast speed into a line of more than three meters high and two meters wide in less than one second. The wall of fog, and the moment the wall of fog appeared, I heard the sound of a horse neighing. In the horrified look of that guy, Ye Ying and I walked directly through the wall of fog, and then Ye Ying walked directly in He suddenly stopped in front of him and stood up, his two front hooves aimed exactly at the guy's head.
Although the guy's eloquence was good, his strength was not very good. He was knocked to the ground in an instant. He lay there crawling backwards on his hands and feet, but he forgot that he should stand up first.
"Hey, don't retreat anymore, there will be hellfire behind you!" I reminded him kindly.
The guy was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the direction behind him was indeed my hellfire, but what he couldn't understand was how I could suddenly emerge from the wall of fog in front of him when I was clearly behind him just now.
Although he was very scared, this guy finally stopped in front of the flames and did not retreat any further. After all, he did not want to be burned to death. However, even if this guy didn't dare to move, he didn't intend to sit still and wait for death. His eyes glanced left and right before speaking. As soon as I saw his movements, I knew that he must be trying to incite the surrounding players to attack me again so that he could escape in the chaos, but unfortunately, his little calculation did not work as it should in front of me. As soon as his mouth moved, a cold and hard spear head was inserted directly into his mouth, and his uvula could even feel the cold air on the tip of the spear.
"Well, that's good." Looking at the player who was completely frozen with the gun in his mouth, I smiled deliberately evilly. "Okay, now put away those little tricks of yours. Any efforts you make are unlikely to be useful in front of me, so it's better for you to cooperate with me obediently."
"What do you want me to do?" The guy asked immediately when he saw me pulling out the gun.
I deliberately tapped his face with the tip of the gun, and then said: "Don't worry, it's not that difficult." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine. The biggest motivation...)
