Seeing the Shifeng enter the meeting room, the anxious crowd immediately calmed down.
Meanwhile, aside from Shi Feng, a man and a woman also entered the meeting room. This situation surprised everyone present.
The man was unfamiliar to everyone. However, based on his attire, they could tell that he was a high-ranking Lifestyle player. As for the woman, they were very familiar with her. She was none other than A Melancholy Smile, who had been managing Candlelight all this time.
In the past, whenever Ling Yi held important meetings, she had never allowed Candlelight's members to participate. She had never thought that she would allow Candlelight's members to participate today.
However, with the current situation, no one was in the mood to welcome these two into the Ling YI Society's upper echelons. Instead, they all turned to look at the Shifeng seated in the Guild Leader's seat.
"Guild Leader, Stone Forest Town's situation is very bad right now …"
"According to the information we've received from our scouts, these monsters might number as many as 500,000. Many of them are Chieftains and Lords. Even with our Guild's full defenses, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. I suggest that we immediately issue a bounty and have Stone Forest Town's adventurer teams and independent players defend the town together. That way, we won't have too much of a difference in numbers.
Many of the people present nodded in agreement with Shiuse Qiangwei's suggestion.
Stone Forest Town's player population was well over 500,000. Moreover, these players' combat standards were all very high. They only needed to issue a bounty and offer these players a 20% discount when purchasing houses in Stone Forest Town. Many players would likely be tempted to defend the town together with them.
With so many players and Stone Forest Town's defenses, it was not impossible to stop these monsters. At most, they would have to pay a hefty price. After this battle, they might need a long time to recover.
However, this price was much better than losing Stone Forest Town. After all, the Ling YI Society had already invested a lot into Stone Forest Town. It was only now that the town was starting to turn a profit.
"Guild Leader, I discovered a hidden ruin in the Black Dragon Empire and obtained over 600 Intermediate Thunder Bombs. Although they are not as powerful as the Mana Pulse Bombs, their power is close to that of a Tier 3 Spell. They have an effective range of 20 yards, and they have a certain paralyzing effect. If you use the Defense Turrets to attack, the Thunder Bombs' power and AOE will increase slightly. In addition, I also obtained two Advanced Gnome Cannons. "Originally, we planned to use these items to capture a town. Now, however, we should prioritize protecting Stone Forest Town."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being secretly speechless.
War tools were extremely rare items in God's Domain. The various large Guilds desperately sought to obtain them. Unfortunately, very few Guilds were able to obtain them.
They had never imagined that Gentle Snow, the Vice Guild Leader of Zero Wing, had unknowingly gathered so many Guilds. Previously, they had assumed that Gentle Snow would struggle in Lake Heart City. After all, there were plenty of first- and second-rate Guilds there. She even had the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, a super-first-rate Guild.
Now, however, it would seem that they had all underestimated Gentle Snow's strength and ability.
Shifeng was also surprised by this development. He had never imagined that Gentle Snow had already planned to capture a town in the Black Dragon Empire. Moreover, by the looks of it, she was confident in her chances.
"Guild Leader, give the order! Our brothers and sisters have long since grown impatient. They've all said that even if we have to die, we won't let those monsters take even half a step into Stone Forest Town!" Everyone in the meeting room promptly conveyed their opinions to their subordinates.
Currently, in the Guild channel, even the ordinary members, who had no need to participate, wanted to participate in this defensive battle. Some had even begun to organize their own teams.
After defeating so many Guilds, the Ling YI Society had finally become the number one Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom. How could they possibly lose to a monster army and hand over Stone Forest Town?
"I understand what you're trying to say." When Shifeng heard everyone's suggestions, he could not help but shake his head and laugh. "However, our Ling YI Society has yet to reach such a stage. Meanwhile, I've called you all here to tell you that you still have to do what you did before. The 40,000 elite members and experts originally stationed in Stone Forest Town will be more than enough."
"But …" Just as everyone was about to say something, Shifeng stood up and said, "Let me make some introductions. This person here is A Melancholy Smile. I believe you all should know him. As for this person here, he is our Ling YI Society's Chief Engineer, Burning Abyss. Many of the Guild's precious engineering tools have passed through Burning Abyss's hands. In the future, both of them will be attending our meetings. This way, when I'm not around, you'll have an easier time negotiating."
Everyone was confused when they heard Shifeng's words. They could not understand what was going through his mind.
The monster army was about to arrive, yet, the main purpose of this meeting was to have them do their own things and introduce Candlelight's manager?
"Now, I'll let you talk about your recent results," Shifeng said. He then gestured for everyone to quiet down and let A Melancholy Smile do the talking.
"After Candlelight obtained the Miniature Ballista Design, we've spent a lot of time producing the Miniature Ballistas every day. So far, we've produced 73 Miniature Ballistas. We've also developed the Exploding Arrow, which is as powerful as a Tier 2 Spell. Any Engineer can produce the Exploding Arrow. Moreover, the Exploding Arrow has a high success rate and can be produced quickly.
"So far, we've already produced 200,000 Exploding Arrows. Meanwhile, these items have been secretly stored in the Candlelight Trading Firm's warehouse in Stone Forest Town. We can use them at any time. In addition, if we have the 200-plus engineers in the Candlelight Trading Firm who have learned how to produce Exploding Arrows, we can produce 4,000 Exploding Arrows in one hour.
After listening to A Melancholy Smile's brief explanation, everyone present was stunned.
Even Shiuse Qiangwei, who was very familiar with the Ling YI Society, was dumbfounded. It was obvious that he could not digest this information. The others were even more confused.
Seventy-three Miniature Ballistas!
Two hundred thousand Exploding Arrows with the power of a Tier 2 Spell!
At this moment, everyone began to wonder if the Ling YI Society they currently resided in was a fake. Even Super Guilds could only sigh at the sight of such war weapons.
Apocalypse Empire, imperial capital, Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Residence:
At this moment, over a hundred people had gathered in the Residence's top-floor reception hall. Every one of these people was a Level 43 or above expert. However, compared to these people's levels, these people were core upper echelons that the majority of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's members could only dream of reaching.
Some of these people were people that even Pavilion Masters like Feng Qianyu and Nine Dragons Emperor had to treat with respect. They had no authority to command these people.
Normally, these people were scattered throughout the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's various branches. However, due to the Great Pavilion Master's summons, these people had gathered here. One could say that this was a grand occasion for the entire Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
Although everyone was gathered here, Feng Qianyu, who sat in a corner of the room, frowned.
"Why are so many monsters attacking Stone Forest Town?" Feng Qianyu's expression darkened when he read the latest report he received.
Stone Forest Town had only just begun to develop. Many casual players had already begun to live in the town. The virtual shops had also begun to turn a profit. If Stone Forest Town was destroyed now, all of their previous efforts would have been for naught.
Meanwhile, Nine Dragons Emperor, who had also received the news, strode over. Looking at Feng Qianyu, he chuckled and said, "What a pity! I'm afraid that all the investments you've invested in the Ling YI Society will go down the drain. As for the Guild Elders, I'm sure they'll be very interested in this matter during their meeting. "
After Feng Qianyu left the room, he contacted Xiang Shifeng and said, "The final outcome isn't certain yet. It's too early to celebrate!"
