Chapter 139 Brag
Xiaofeng curled his upper lip and checked the time. Then, he turned around and continued to clear the path.
It was already 10 o’clock and the defensive war for the encampment of the Midsummer Guild was about to start. He had to hurry up to arrive on time.
However, Xiaofeng believed that it would be difficult for Midsummer Rose to set up the Midsummer Guild. Many other major guilds were also eager to become the first guild of the Huaxia District after all.
Midsummer Rose snapped the first guild token from some of the biggest guilds in the Huaxia District, including the Dynasty and the Glory Guild.
At the moment, the vast plain outside the Tianlong City was bustling with noise.
A small town was built here. Although most of the buildings were bungalows, they were big and encircled by the fence like a small city. It was clear that Midsummer Rose was ambitious.
The system had improved the level of the Midsummer Guild as a reward, so they were at level two now. In fact, level-one guilds could only build wooden fences in their encampment.
Meanwhile, level-two guilds could have at most 2 million members, while level-one guilds could only recruit 1 million players. The Midsummer Guild had already stopped recruiting new members.
This new-built village was crammed with players. Xiaofeng believed that there were more than 2 million people there!
This was the strategy of Midsummer Rose. She allowed all the newcomers to join the guild while the core members, including the staff of the Group, would join the guild later, when it reached level 3 and could have 4 million members.
This way, they had 2 million newcomers and hundreds of thousands of core members, the latter being the mainstay of this organization.
The players who guarded the town center all had a prefix of Midsummer on their heads, and the players who were not members of the Midsummer Guild were easy to identify.
Although this plain used to be an excellent place for leveling up, it had become a transportation hub after the town had been built there. This town was well-placed and had a great surrounding environment.
However, at the same time, a problem had presented itself. There was no natural barrier, so monsters could break in from different directions when the siege war broke out. It would be difficult for them to defend themselves against the monsters.
Midsummer Rose was daring. Most guilds would have chosen to set up their towns beside one or two mountains or cliffs to reduce the difficulty of defending the town against enemies. However, she had chosen a plain where there were no natural barriers at all.
There were numerous players both inside and outside the town. All of them were walking on the plain and looking at the newly-built town in wonder. This was the embryo of the guild encampment.
There were not many buildings inside the town, because Midsummer Rose was busy preparing for the defensive war. There were only some basic buildings, such as the hall, the drug store, and the weapon store.
Midsummer Rose was standing on the platform at the entrance of the encampment, looking down at the plain. She stared at the players in the distance and frowned.
She knew very well that her sharp-edged policies and actions would surely awaken the hostility of many other major guilds. She had bought the first guild token aggressively, so many players would come to cause trouble.
The siege war would last 6 hours and monsters would attack them every ten minutes. There were 36 groups of monsters, while the players standing outside the town were also a serious threat to them!
“President Midsummer, please don’t worry. They are too stupid and weak to ever hurt you.”
A man was standing with Midsummer Rose on the platform. He was the only one in town who was not a member of the Midsummer Guild. However, he was eligible to stand with the president.
He was Brother Nine of Glory, the richest man in any online game and the president of the Glory, which was the biggest guild in the South!
“I hope so.”
Midsummer Rose murmured. She believed that the other guilds would dare not sabotage their action since all the major guilds formed an increasingly closer community of shared interests and a confrontation would produce no winners.
Unfortunately, they would definitely cause trouble, especially after they formed an organization. They were from different guilds so it was difficult for the Midsummer Guild to find all the troublemakers.
Midsummer Rose wasn’t sure whether the other guilds had decided to cause trouble or launch a large-scale attack. The latter would be a devastating blow for them.
“Don’t worry. I’ll come forward if they launch an attack. I believe that they will stop and give up for my sake.”
Brother Nine of Glory was handsome and confident. Of course, he was wealthy and influential. No guilds dared to challenge the Glory in the South, so even the major guilds would avoid offending him.
“Of course, you have to agree to my demands,” Brother Nine of Glory said with a big smile on his face.
Midsummer Rose looked at the plain without saying anything. His conditions were excessive and reasonable. The prerequisite for helping her was that Midsummer Rose would become his girlfriend. However, she was unwilling to agree to this.
Brother Nine of Glory smiled without saying anything else. He had nothing to say. He had also heard some secret information. It was said that Crown Prince, who was the president of the Dynasty Guild, was dissatisfied with the bidding of the guild token. The Midsummer Guild would definitely fail to win the defensive war without his help.
Therefore, Brother Nine of Glory didn’t need to threaten her. He believed that Midsummer Rose would be begging him for help after a few hours.
He looked away from Midsummer Rose’s excellent figure and looked at this emerging town.
What a fantastic place! Unlike the other virtual online games, he could feel everything as if he was there in person. In the near future, the Glory Guild would also set up a city and he would become the ruler of this game world. Brother Nine of Glory smiled at the thought of this future development. Then, he sent several secret messages to other players.
“Bro Xiao, where are you? The defensive war of the Midsummer is about to start!”
On the other side, Xiaofeng, who was standing in the Mist of War of the Dark Land, also received Qian Duoduo’s message.
Qian Duoduo knew that Xiaofeng would definitely create trouble to sabotage the defensive war of the Midsummer Guild. Thus, she arrived outside the plain with the Nicholas Brothers and found a good place. They were standing on a huge stone now. The monsters would pass them when they broke into the city, but their hatred was fixed on the encampment instead.
In addition to Qian Duoduo and the Nicholas Brothers, the teenage player and War Spirit Ziyi were also standing on the stone. War Spirit Ziyi climbed on the stone with the help of Shangguan.
There were many similar places to watch the battle. Lao Xu and several other players were standing on the top of a mountain. It seemed that they were about to provide live streaming.
Many senior players of major guilds also came to watch the war. This was the first monster siege war in Myth, so they could gain plenty of experience and become more skilled in battle. As the commander of the priest group of the War Spirit Hall, War Spirit Ziyi had also gone there and found Qian Duoduo with the teenage player.
“Buddy, please help me. There is a lot of space. Could you please let me join you?”
Although there was a lot of space on the huge stone, Qian Duoduo was standing there. She was famous and influential now. The Treasure Pavilion had already set up buildings in more than ten main cities in the South and earned its reputation. Besides, Qian Duoduo was also one of the top ten female players on the Goddess List. Therefore, she was a well-known influential player in the Huaxia District now. No one dared to go there, even though this was an excellent place to watch the war.
Suddenly, they heard a voice. They looked down and saw a nasty player with two red characters on his head. It was Han Feng.
“Why did you come here? Go away! I’m in a good mood so I don’t want to fight with you today.”
Nicholas Zhaosi stared at him. He didn’t want to talk with him. He was looking forward to Xiaofeng’s actions.
“Ah!”
Han Feng looked up in fear. He hadn’t expected that he would meet these players once again. However, he immediately relaxed after confirming that Xiaofeng was not present.
“We’ve come here for the same purpose. Why don’t we forget the previous conflict and stand together to watch the fight?”
Han Feng continued to speak shamelessly.
In fact, he dared not join any other advanced players of different guilds with his red name. There were only several players on the stone and none of them could pose a threat to him. Thus, he had gone there and asked to join them with the red name on his head.
“How dare you come here with the red name on your head? I’ll kill you and get all your equipment if you stay here any longer.”
The teenage player also spoke impatiently. The war was about to start, but Han Feng was still unwilling to leave.
“Buddy, why isn’t Master Healer here?”
Han Feng went on to ask.
“Bro Xiao will come here in a while. Besides, he will also fight with the Midsummer Guild! They are enemies!” the teenage player said.
“What? Are you sure?” Han Feng asked, his eyes glittering with curiosity.
“Of course. The Midsummer Guild was determined to kill Bro Xiao in the Novice Village. They also lay in wait for us at the entrance of the instance zone. Although that was a large-scale group attack, we formed a team of five and killed all 300 members of the Midsummer Guild! They dared not attack us anymore!”
Nicholas Zhaosi, who was excited, started to brag.
“Gee! I didn’t expect that all of you would have participated in the fight! No wonder you’re Master Healer’s good friends!” Han Feng immediately flattered him.
“Of course. Bro Xiao was still an innocent healer in the Novice Village and we helped him level up.” Nicholas Zhaosi bragged as Nicholas Tiezhu turned around and stared at him.
