Two system announcements suddenly ignited a frenzy across the server!
The Brotherhood Alliance declared war on Blood Night, which was relatively easy to understand. After all, on the surface, the Brotherhood Alliance appeared to be allied with Divine Silence, while Blood Night was allied with the Monarch, who in turn had an alliance with War God Hall. Ultimately, it all traced back to the competition among the second largest guild.
But what about Mist of Time?
Even just a second before the system announcement was made, Mist of Time had only given everyone the impression of being the largest chamber on the server. How could they have amassed over a thousand combat-class players in such a short time? And why declare war on Blood Night so swiftly?
...
Everyone had their own opinions on this matter!
Take Divine Silence Dust Fate, for example. Upon hearing such news, his first instinct was that he had been deceived by both Mist of Time and the Brotherhood Alliance.
It was clear that the Brotherhood Alliance had long harbored intentions to break free from Divine Silence's control. Reflecting on their actions during the auction, this could be best confirmed. Moreover, Infiltrate's so-called undercover presence within Mist of Time had evidently been known to them all along, and they had skillfully utilized this insider!
However, Divine Silence Dust Fate had to admit that their timing was impeccable!
Divine Silence had just established its guild Base of Operations and was in dire need of various investments. Meanwhile, Righteousness Above All and Supreme Alliance were already closing in at their doorstep. At this moment, Divine Silence could not afford to divert manpower or resources to manage the Brotherhood Alliance far away in Southern Wilderness City.
If the Brotherhood Alliance seized this opportunity to grow stronger, they would completely lose control!
Nevertheless, Divine Silence Dust Fate was not overly surprised by Mist of Time's sudden declaration of war. After all, through later interactions, he had come to understand Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan. With these two around, it was impossible for Mist of Time to exist merely as a single chamber.
This had already been hinted at during the competition following the First Auction!
At that moment on the outskirts of Xiliang City, Rebellious Blood Blade and his companions were fully armed, rallying their members against the sea of dark figures before them.
The news quickly spread throughout the realm.
In the main hall of the King's Guild Base of Operations, Zeng Jian frowned, his expression filled with conflict. He had just received a distress signal from the Blood Night Guild, and he was indeed willing to send troops to assist them. However, the news regarding the War God Hall extinguished the fire that had ignited within him.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed through the hall. Soon, King’s Eternal, Overlord Batyen, and Invincible King rushed into the Base of Operations.
"What is going on?" King’s Eternal asked incredulously. "Mist of Time declared war on Blood Night? Damn it, where did all these combat-oriented players from Mist of Time suddenly come from?"
"It’s clear that they have been secretly cultivating their forces for some time," Invincible King replied, furrowing his brow. "What surprises me is Brotherhood Alliance; that guy from Brotherhood of Loyalty actually got involved with Mist of Time. Isn’t he just slapping Divine Silence in the face? Could it be that Brotherhood Alliance is determined to break free from Divine Silence's control this time?"
"What about us? Should we help?" Overlord Batyen inquired.
Zeng Jian hesitated. "I called you here precisely to discuss this issue. Although Blood Night is not weak, they simply cannot withstand the alliance between Mist of Time and Brotherhood Alliance. Just now, Blood Night Poison Dragon sent a message stating that their number of participants has already reached 18,000."
"Just 18,000? As long as we send 20,000 troops along with Blood Night's 10,000, it should be an easy victory," King’s Eternal said confidently.
"You might underestimate those 18,000, but never underestimate Mist of Time..." Overlord Batyen analyzed. "Look at the current Level rankings and Equipment List! Mist of Time occupies seven out of the top ten spots on the Level leaderboard, and they all have mounts. The set of level 85 Spirit Equipment Set clearly belongs to Yi Tianchen; that's an 85-level spirit-grade set!"
"And let’s not forget that just yesterday, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan along with Seven People went to Dongli City to assist Divine Silence in slaying a dragon. It is said that Yi Tianchen faced the dragon alone without falling behind. I ask you, who in the current Server-wide can surpass Yi Tianchen in individual strength?"
"But this is the Guild War after all!"
King's Eternal said reluctantly, "I admit that Yi Tianchen is unmatched in personal strength, but in a Guild War with tens of thousands of participants, individual power will be greatly diminished."
Overlord Batyen snorted coldly, "In any case, I do not support sending troops!"
The usually quiet Invincible King stepped in to mediate, "We're all brothers here; let's talk it out. We're all doing this for our Guild!"
"I have some news that you might not know!"
The three were taken aback as Zeng Jian spoke with evident concern, "Not long ago, Rebellious Blood Blade gathered a force of over thirty thousand people!"
"War God Hall?"
King's Eternal asked in confusion, "What does War God Hall want with gathering troops at this time? Or could it be that War God Hall's actions are related to the current situation in Southern Wilderness City?"
Overlord Batyen replied, "If that's the case, then Yi Tianchen's visit to Xiliang City last night was indeed to meet with Rebellious Blood Blade!"
Invincible King exclaimed in surprise, "No way! Although Blood Night doesn't have a direct alliance with War God Hall, they wouldn't take action against Blood Night just for the sake of Mist of Time, would they?"
"Clearly, War God Hall's actions are not aimed at Blood Night but at us!"
Zeng Jian sighed, "The current King's Guild is growing stronger by the day; its power is no longer comparable to what it once was. Naturally, War God Hall will take that into account. The best strategy is to support a Guild strong enough to restrain the king and willing to do so."
"It’s obvious that this force is Mist of Time!"
Overlord Batyen reluctantly provided the answer. King's Eternal and Invincible King exchanged glances and had no objections. The king and Mist of Time could not coexist; from this perspective, War God Hall’s choice of Mist of Time was indeed understandable.
Soon, another piece of news arrived—
The War God Hall, with thirty thousand troops led personally by the Rebellious Blood Blade, was marching towards Southern Wilderness City!
Zeng Jian and his three companions were immediately filled with rage. It was clear that this fundamentally confirmed their suspicions; the War God Hall's move was indeed aimed at the King's Guild.
"President, should we still assist Blood Night?" Invincible King leaned slightly towards Overlord Batyen.
Zeng Jian rubbed his temples, his mind a tangled mess.
What would happen if they helped?
What would happen if they didn’t?
This was clearly a question that needed to be clarified, and the benefits and losses had to be meticulously calculated down to the smallest details.
