Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 35 Silent Support
How to do it specifically? I only have so little ability, what else can I do? On the one hand, I will work hard to practice and enhance my personal combat effectiveness. On the other hand, I will quickly pull Afeng, Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying and other backbones of the Tongxin League into the "Resistance Alliance". There is strength in numbers, and with more people to support the situation, I can sit more securely in my position as a director.
Long Xing Tianxia paused and continued, "Becoming a leader and becoming a speaker or director is very beneficial to the development of players . Whether it is for fame or profit, intentionally or unintentionally, you can use the power of the alliance to serve your own goals within a certain limit, thereby obtaining greater benefits. However, I don't know if you have noticed that this monthly 'competition for positions' is actually very disadvantageous to you. For example, you tend to be the kind of general who relies on his own bravery to charge into battle, and you are not good at interpersonal relationships, wisdom and strategy. According to the alliance assessment standards, if you just rely on your personal combat power and don't pay attention to making achievements in introducing new members and organizational planning, you will have to participate in as many professional or alliance tasks as possible to establish merits. I am afraid that you will have to make more efforts to sit firmly in the position of director."
I nodded. "So, I plan to bring some of my friends from the Tongxin League, such as Afeng, into the 'Resistance Alliance'. With their help, I can be more relaxed."
"That's exactly what I want to remind you..." Long Xingtianxia's face straightened, "I have always regarded you as a friend, and I don't want to hide my thoughts. Whether you are willing to listen or not, I will speak directly. Captain Xue and the others are all emotional people. To be honest, Ah Dai has made an indelible contribution to the Tongxin League. So if you propose to let them join the 'Resistance Alliance', I am sure no one will refuse your face. With their help, you can indeed consolidate your position, but for the Tongxin League, it may lead to a catastrophe."
I was stunned by what he said, and my mind was full of doubts. The conclusion was too scary, wasn't it? Just by bringing a few people into the alliance, would it affect the entire Tongxin League? But looking at Long Xingtian's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"The biggest advantage of our dark profession is that we are scattered. We don't have a fixed place of activity. If we don't give the Church of Light a target to attack, we will often only get a few sesame seeds after spending a lot of effort. But don't forget one thing, the mercenary group has a base. If there are too many players in the same mercenary group who join the " Resistance Alliance", or most of the core members join the alliance, it is very likely to attract the attention of the Church of Light. Once they judge that the entire mercenary group has a trend of "darkening", will they allow this mercenary group to continue to develop? Even if the participation rate does not exceed 50%, NPCs cannot directly intervene, and players of the light profession still control huge forces, either openly or secretly. Take Hua Mantian for example, he is the leader of the Huadu Mercenary Group. , has applied for a job transfer to the Knight of Light, and the Yamato spirit of the Sun Never Sets is closely related to him. Their two major mercenary groups have both received the "Thousand Man Order" and have been upgraded to "Medium Mercenary Groups", each of which can have a thousand formal members, plus the "High and Vigorous" mercenary group that the traitor formed in the middle of the night, the strength of these three parties alone has surpassed the combined strength of you and me. Usually, because launching a group battle is very expensive, it is difficult to bear the consequences of failure, but once we get the instructions of the Church of Light, with the help of NPCs searching for players who have joined the alliance on the periphery, and contacting several major forces to attack our base, the alliance is not yet able to compete head-on with the Church of Light, and I am afraid it will not be able to convince the Council to come forward to support them. They have great hope of success. "
This... I have always considered relying on the power of the "Resistance Alliance" to deal with Hua Mantian, but I have overlooked that the opponent can also rely on the power of the Church of Light to attack us. This is really a double-edged sword. The United Alliance was established with great effort, and it embodies the hard work of each member. We also hope to use it to defeat Hua Mantian's Huadu, and we must not lose it.
"Your Tongxin League already has two directors, you and Long Kong. Especially you, the 'world's number one wizard', with a great reputation, are the focus of the Church of Light. If you absorb the three leaders Xue Wuxia, Feng Yuzhe, Yun Wuying and several core members such as Nan Feiyan and Die Wu into the alliance, it will be too eye-catching. The current strength of the Tongxin League is still too weak. Even with our support, I am afraid it can't withstand the joint attack of several major forces." Long Xingtian smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, although the Desert Eagle is chasing me very closely and I urgently need help, I dare only introduce one of Bajiugaoge and Baiyunjian for the time being, for fear of causing trouble for Longteng and affecting the normal development of the mercenary group. The key is that the two of us are too famous, and a big tree attracts the wind."
"After all, you are a novice with limited gaming experience, and you have not considered many issues thoroughly. Xue Wuxia and Feng Yuzhe often choose to support you because of their relationship with you. They can only try their best to prevent or remedy the possible consequences. As an outsider, I can't say anything about these things, but now that I know about them, I always feel that I should remind you, because I can see that you are also a person who values friendship very much..." Long Xingtianxia took out a roll of paper and handed it over, "This is the map to the 'Dragon Valley' that Captain Xue asked Bai Yunjian to draw for her a few days ago. Please give it to her."
Dragon Valley! I couldn't help but be stunned. It was a very scary place in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. As the name suggests, there were dragons living in it. Of course, this dragon was not the golden dragon among the four sacred beasts, but the magic dragon, which was a high-level magic beast. I heard that the weakest type of ground dragon in the Dragon Valley was also the most powerful seventh-level magic beast. At least dozens or hundreds of expert players had to work closely together to be able to kill it. What were Xue Wuxia and the others doing there? Killing the magic dragon would get you good equipment, but with the current strength of the fifth-level profession, the sacrifice was too great and the gains were not worth the losses. With Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying's usual calmness, they would not make such a hasty mistake under normal circumstances. I have been busy with the dark camp recently, and I have really neglected the Tongxin League. I don't know what they are doing.
"Did she say what she wanted the map for?" I was stunned for a moment before I realized what I was doing and took the map.
Long Xingtianxia shook his head, "Not really, but Captain Xue's goal should be the 'Thousand Man Order'. In addition to doing mercenary missions, the 'Thousand Man Order' can also be obtained by killing monsters above level seven, but not every monster can drop it. Sometimes you pay a great price but end up with nothing, which poses a double risk. It is said that the magic dragons in the Dragon Valley are almost 100% likely to drop the 'Thousand Man Order'. Bai Yunjian once joined a treasure hunting team to help a friend get in once. They had organized two previous teams but were completely wiped out. It was not until this time that he succeeded by chance and killed a lowest-level speed dragon, which really dropped a 'Thousand Man Order'. Captain Xue knew that Bai Yunjian had been to the Dragon Valley, so he met him and asked him in detail, and even asked him to draw a map for reference."
I was a little confused. Although the Tongxin League has been developing well recently and has initially acquired the strength to upgrade to a medium-sized mercenary group, it seems a bit too hasty to rashly provoke a powerful dragon. If it was Afeng who was afraid of falling behind and Hua Mantian had too many flowers, it would be somewhat reasonable. Why is Xue Wuxia so impatient? Moreover, according to past practice, they should have informed me in advance when planning such a large operation. This time, there was no news at all. It was really abnormal.
In fact, I could see that Long Xing Tianxia had something else to say, but after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't say it. I was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, and I hurried back to Tongxin League to find Afeng to find out the situation, so I didn't stay for long and soon said goodbye and left.
When I returned to the base, Afeng was already waiting for me in the room as promised. "What happened? Why are you calling me back so urgently?"
I sat down heavily on the sofa. "Are you guys planning some big action without telling me?"
"No, it's just about repairing the base, forming a team to level up, hunting for treasures and so on. How can there be any big action?" Afeng pretended to be very convincing, with a nonchalant look, and there was no flaw on the surface.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so I took out the Dragon Valley map and threw it at him, "No? Look at what this is. Don't tell me that the reason we went there was for sightseeing."
A Feng opened the map and was stunned at first, then a smile immediately appeared on his face. "A Dai, don't blame me. This is a decision made unanimously after a meeting of the core members of the group. They also warned me, who lives with you, not to leak it. As the deputy leader, I should set an example and obey the collective decision."
"Why? Are you afraid that I will object, or are you already strong enough to leave me alone and become the 'Dragon Slayer'?"
A Feng put away his smile and was silent for a moment. "Forget it, since you already know, just tell the truth. According to your strength and reputation, you can definitely enter the leadership of the "Resistance Alliance", but no matter how your management structure is divided, if you want to gain a foothold in a huge organization, you must have support and help around you. In addition, Hua Mantian is going to change his job to become a Knight of Light, so I decided to openly join the alliance and fight alongside you. However, when I told Wuxia about this decision, she actually had the same idea. She was ready to join the alliance in her personal name with Wuying, Diewu and others when necessary and join your side. Of course, we also considered the risks of doing so, which might lead to attacks from the Church of Light or the player forces controlled by it. We can attack from far away, Hua Mantian and Ye Ban Wu Ren will not let us go if they have a chance, so we must speed up the development of Tong Xin Meng and strive to become one of the most powerful mercenary groups in Tian Xia. After continuous efforts, the construction of the base has taken shape, with sufficient funds, and some peripheral organizations have been developed. We have the conditions to upgrade to a medium-sized mercenary group, so we decided to go to Longgu to slay the dragon and obtain the "Thousand Man Order". Seeing that you have been busy fighting the Church of Light these days, it is estimated that the "Resistance Alliance" will be established soon. We don't want to distract you and waste your time, so we don't plan to ask you to participate in this operation. We have contacted more than a hundred masters, and asked Bai Yunjian, who has experience, to draw a map. It should be more promising."
I was speechless for a long time. After all this, it was all for me. Can I blame them for hiding this? Should I blame them? "Contact Sister Wuxia and the others and propose to hold a meeting of core members. I have something to say."
Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying and other core members who were online soon arrived. After several months of development, several new members who joined later also became core members, such as Xiaoyuan Tingfeng and Qingwa. Even Yue Linglong, who was a "rookie" at the beginning, was awarded the gold badge. No wonder she was often praised. It seemed that her performance had been recognized by everyone.
I kept Afeng under "strict surveillance" to prevent the news that he "put women before friendship" from leaking out, so Xue Wuxia and the others didn't know what had happened and looked at me curiously. After all, this was the first time that I, who was often missing, exercised my rights and demanded a meeting of core members.
I first stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you very much for your support!" Although I have indeed made significant contributions to the Tongxin League, to a large extent I also considered Afeng's development. I am not really so "selfless and righteous". Now that I am in need, everyone is ready to repay me before I even open my mouth. I can't help but be moved.
Such an abrupt action made them all a little confused. Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying looked at Afeng who was sitting next to me intentionally or unintentionally. Afeng hurriedly shook his head to deny it, "It's none of my business. I have always kept my mouth shut and not a single word of it leaked out. It was that brat Bai Yunjian who was unreliable and gave the Dragon Valley map to Adai and asked him to bring it back. That's how he found out."
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, I continued my speech. "I appreciate everyone's kindness. To be honest, I have already joined the leadership of the 'Resistance Alliance' and become a director. Right now, I really welcome someone to join and help me, but this is my personal matter. I don't want it to affect the development of our United Alliance. You must not only be worthy of me as a friend, but also be responsible for those players who have joined or are about to join the United Alliance. Moreover, the power of the Church of Light is dominant at present, and there is no need to confront them head-on. The base is dead, and too many members joining will increase the risk of becoming their target of venting anger. Therefore, I think it is still necessary to develop and build the United Alliance first. This is equivalent to my rear base. As long as it continues to exist, it can provide me with a certain degree of security when necessary, and deter some players with ulterior motives. The struggle with the Church of Light is long and arduous. It is still unknown who will win the final victory. If you are willing, you can gradually participate in the future, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, you must not endanger the safety of the United Alliance. It is the result of our hard work. I believe no one will want to see its destruction!"
