"Snow, have your subordinates compile a report on Crimson Castle for me, especially the Guild towns under Crimson Castle's control. The more detailed, the better," Shifeng said.
"Detailed information on Guild towns?" Gentle Snow was slightly confused. However, she quickly thought of a possibility. Surprised, she asked, "Guild Leader, you don't want this information because … you want to raid Crimson Castle's towns, right?"
"Raid Crimson Castle's towns?" Shifeng shook his head. Chuckling, he said, "Wrong. I want to raid every Guild town under Crimson Castle's control!"
If Lake Heart City's situation had been in the past, Shifeng wouldn't have been able to do much against Crimson Castle. He would've been forced to fight a war of attrition.
However, the situation was different now.
Now, he was a rich man!
Not only had he made a fortune from the Ling Yi Auction, but Stone Forest Town's population had also skyrocketed. The Battle Arena and Auction House had also brought in a frightening amount of income. Players were joining the Battle Arena and Auction House almost every day.
Including the 10,000 Magic Crystals Yan Tianxing had just contributed, Shi Feng had over 190,000 Magic Crystals in total.
When he had fought the Sky Burial Society, he had only had around 50,000 Magic Crystals. He hadn't been able to exhibit the full power of war weapons. If he had had enough Magic Crystals, he could've easily won the war.
Now, he had over 190,000 Magic Crystals on hand. Moreover, this number was still increasing. After all, the Auction House earned 10 Magic Crystals for every new member it recruited. Currently, more than 15,000 members had joined the Ling Yi Auction House. As time passed, it would only be a matter of time before the Auction House exceeded 100,000 or even 200,000 members.
If Crimson Castle dared to provoke him now, it was simply suicidal.
Let alone a second-rate Guild like Crimson Castle, he could even take down a first-rate Guild's town.
"Raid every Crimson Castle's town?" Shifeng's words shocked everyone in the room.
Every Guild Town was an important location for a Guild. The defenses and players stationed in these towns were no laughing matter. Capturing a Guild Town would not be an easy task. Players would need to make plenty of preparations, yet Crimson Castle had declared war on Crimson Castle's Guild Towns …
This was simply insane!
"Snow, have all the main force members of the branch guilds get ready and spread the news. Let all the guilds in the Black Dragon Empire know about it. Once we've gathered all the information on Crimson Castle, we'll act immediately!" Shifeng ordered.
"We're not going to keep it a secret?" Gentle Snow was stunned for a moment.
When other players wanted to raid a Guild Town, they would hope that the other Guild Towns wouldn't have time to prepare. That way, their chances of success would be higher. On the other hand, Shifeng wanted to announce to the public that they were going to raid the Guild Towns, so they had better be prepared …
However, since the Guild Leader of Shifeng had given the order, Gentle Snow had no choice but to obey.
Although Crimson Castle had Nine Dragons Emperor's support, if the Ling YI Society got serious and mobilized all of the Guild's elite members, capturing one of Crimson Castle's towns wouldn't be a problem. After all, the number of experts and elite members on Crimson Castle's side was overwhelming. Only, doing so would drain the Ling YI Society's resources.
Just like that, before all the players in the venue had left, Gentle Snow had her subordinates spread the news that the Ling YI Society was planning to raid one of Crimson Castle's Guild Towns in Lake Heart City.
Suddenly, the news sent ripples throughout the Black Dragon Empire!
"What's going on? The Ling YI Society is actually attacking Crimson Castle?! "
"Didn't Crimson Castle just lose a bet to the Ling YI Society? Is the Ling YI Society trying to annihilate Crimson Castle? Isn't this a little too ruthless?! "
"That can't be right! I heard that Crimson Castle has secretly mobilized a few third-rate Guilds to cause trouble near Hidden Fog Town. It's obvious that they don't want the Ling YI Society to capture Hidden Fog Town. I'm guessing that's why the Ling YI Society is so angry. "
"That's not a wise move. How can a Guild Town be captured so easily? Not to mention, most of the Ling YI Society's forces are based in the Starmoon Kingdom. Capturing Crimson Castle's towns will be even more difficult. "
…
Players on the official forums were discussing this matter in full swing. None of them had high hopes for the Ling YI Society's attack on Crimson Castle.
Although the Ling YI Society had a Branch Guild in Lake Heart City, its strength was limited. Compared to the Starmoon Kingdom's Ling Yi Branch Guild, the Branch Guild was far weaker. Moreover, teleporting players from the Starmoon Kingdom to the Black Dragon Empire's Lake Heart City was not cheap. In addition, Crimson Castle had signed an alliance with four second-rate Guilds. If Crimson Castle was attacked, the other four Guilds would provide assistance.
Even the Black Dragon Empire's first-rate Guilds would have a difficult time capturing one of Crimson Castle's towns. Even if they succeeded, the first-rate Guilds would not be willing to pay such a price.
"Hahaha! The Ling YI Society must have lost its mind! Knowing that Hidden Fog Town is hopeless, they resorted to such a scheme. Does the Ling YI Society really think that Crimson Castle's towns are just decorations?" Crimson Fox, who had long since returned to the Guild Residence, could not help but laugh when he read the news.
Originally, he had been prepared to fight a war of attrition with the Ling YI Society. Now, however, it seemed that his preparations had been for nothing.
Although Crimson Castle's two Guild Towns were not particularly large, they were the closest to the ore and herb resource maps. They were the five second-rate Guilds' resource warehouses. Hence, Crimson Castle had spent a lot of Coins to construct these Guild Towns.
Crimson Fox had constructed eight Defense Turrets, magic barriers, and other war weapons. Even an army of 200,000 elite players would not be able to touch these Guild Towns. Furthermore, four second-rate Guilds had set up temporary Residences in each Guild Town. These Guilds' members could provide reinforcements at any time.
Even if the Ling YI Society mobilized all of its elite players, it would not be able to capture these Guild Towns.
"Guild Leader, Nine Dragons Emperor just sent word. He said that he will be sending two 100-man expert teams to defend the two Guild Towns. In addition, he has brought six Gnome Cannons with him," Lonely Town reported as he reported. "Nine Dragons Emperor has also said that if we can teach the Ling YI Society a lesson, he will not pursue our previous failures. He will also allow Crimson Castle to continue to be the leader of the five Guilds."
"Notify the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's members and have them tell Nine Dragons Emperor that Zero Wing is capable of capturing Crimson Castle's town. Unless the sun rises from the west, Zero Wing shouldn't even think of setting foot inside the town," Crimson Fox said, smiling confidently.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Residence in the Black Dragon Empire's capital, Feng Qianyu was shocked when he received this news. He had never thought that the Ling YI Society would actually make such a crazy move. Immediately, he contacted the Shifeng.
"President Hei Yan, are you really planning to attack Crimson Castle's Guild Towns?" Feng Qianyu asked for confirmation as he looked at the Shifeng's calm and collected face on the screen.
"That's right." The Shifeng nodded.
"Please give up on this operation immediately. Nine Dragons Emperor is Crimson Castle's backer. Moreover, the two Guild Towns are resource warehouses that Nine Dragons Emperor has prepared for his subordinate forces. For this reason, Nine Dragons Emperor has even stationed his Shadow Dragon Legion in the two towns," Feng Qianyu explained.
The Shadow Dragon Legion was one of Nine Dragons Emperor's three trump card legions. Among them, the War Dragon Legion was the strongest and was led by Martial Dragon. Meanwhile, the Shadow Dragon Legion's overall combat power was on par with the War Dragon Legion's. Moreover, it was more adept at large-scale battles. Hence, Nine Dragons Emperor had secretly stationed the Shadow Dragon Legion in the two Guild Towns.
Currently, the Ling YI Society had just made a name for itself in the Black Dragon Empire. Without sufficient strength, it would be unwise to attack these two towns.
"The Shadow Dragon Legion?" The Shifeng had also heard of this legion. However, he simply chuckled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Phoenix Pavilion Master. I'll be careful when the time comes. I'm very busy right now. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up."
After saying so, the Shifeng disconnected the call.
"This Hei Yan …" When Feng Qianyu saw the Shifeng's calm demeanor, he even wondered if the Shifeng knew how powerful the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's trump card legions were.
Any superpower's trump card legions could annihilate an elite army of tens of thousands of players, not to mention the Shadow Dragon Legion, which had been specially strengthened for Guild wars.
