Cold Wind City, Hekati's Residence:
Due to the fact that Hekati had suddenly lowered its recruitment standards and equipment exchange rates, the Guild Hall was bustling with activity.
Among these players, the majority were independent players. Every one of them had used rare materials to exchange for Level 50 weapons and equipment.
"Vice Guild Leader, due to our lowering of the exchange rates, the number of players coming to exchange for equipment has more than doubled. Moreover, these players are all at the elite standard and above. After signing a contract with us, not only will they not support Asura, but they will also secretly ostracize Asura's members. As for the other Guilds, they have done the same. Currently, the majority of Cold Wind City's elite players have sided with Asura Adventurers.
"Even if the Asura Adventurers establish their Adventurer's Alliance, they won't be able to obtain any resources to increase the Asura Adventurers' strength."
"Good! Good job! Now, we just need to find out why the Asura Adventurers have become so strong. After that, we'll take down Cold Wind City. "
Carnage was very satisfied with his subordinate's report.
He had to admit that the Asura Adventurers were extremely competitive when it came to competing for Cold Wind City. They were even stronger than the Centurion Dynasty.
However, the Asura Adventurers were overestimating themselves if they thought they could compete with their Guilds for Cold Wind City. This was something that the various large Guilds would never allow. If news of this spread, they would most likely become the laughingstocks of other cities. Hence, they had to stop the Asura Adventurers, even if it meant sacrificing a portion of their Guilds' profits.
Originally, Hekati alone wouldn't be able to attract the majority of Cold Wind City's elite players.
However, due to the various large Guilds' efforts, the majority of Cold Wind City's elite players had sided with the various large Guilds. As for the remaining elite and expert players, they either had no interest in exchanging their rare materials or had their own channels. In other words, the various large Guilds now controlled Cold Wind City's main source of rare materials.
Although the Asura Adventurers had plenty of peak experts, taking control of Cold Wind City wasn't something that could be accomplished with just a few experts. They needed a large number of experts and top-tier equipment. Only then would they have a chance of completing the difficult city contribution requirement.
The Asura Adventurers were indeed capable of recruiting expert players. However, obtaining top-tier equipment wasn't easy. Doing so required a large number of rare materials. After all, the entire Ice Crystal World's equipment market was obtained through production. However, not only was the production difficulty, but the production success rate was also very low. Without a large amount of rare materials, it was impossible to equip a powerful team.
With the number of players, the Asura Adventurers, Asura Adventurers, and Adventurers, the Adventurers, and the Adventurers.
Moreover, adventurer teams were different from Guilds. Guilds would spend a lot of money to nurture a group of Lifestyle players. However, even if an adventurer team had Lifestyle players, it would be extremely difficult to nurture a group of Lifestyle players without a large sum of money.
Now that the various large Guilds had cut off the Asura Adventurers's access to rare materials, the Asura Adventurers had no chance of competing for Cold Wind City.
"Vice Guild Leader, after our investigation, the returning experts of the Asura Adventurers haven't said a word about their strength. As for the Asura Adventurers' original experts, they know nothing about this. They've sealed off all information," the Level 52 Assassin reported helplessly.
"It's fine. Continue investigating," Carnage said, chuckling. "Even if we can't find anything, it's fine. If they still refuse to talk after we take control of Cold Wind City, I'll make sure the Asura Adventurers vanishes from the city!"
The Assassin could not help but laugh when he heard Carnage's words.
Although the Asura Adventurers had made quite a name for themselves in Cold Wind City, at the end of the day, it was still an adventurer team. Opposing Hekati would be suicidal.
Once they took control of Cold Wind City, they'd gain a small portion of the city's control. With this small amount of authority, they'd be able to deal with an adventurer team easily. Even the experts of the Asura Adventurers wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Right, what happened to the experts I asked you to poach from the Asura Adventurers?" Carnage suddenly asked.
He had high hopes for Cleansing Whistle and the others, who had killed Xuan Cang. With such strength, if they joined Hekati, they'd undoubtedly be of great help to Hekati.
Hearing Carnage's question, the Assassin fell silent.
"What's wrong? Do they think we're asking for too little? "Carnage asked curiously.
"Mhm. They said they're not interested in the position of Guild Elder. If they want … the position of Guild Leader or Vice Guild Leader, they might consider it …" the Level 52 Assassin answered truthfully.
Boom!
Along with the sound of an explosion, the desk before Carnage shattered. The chilling killing intent radiating from Carnage caused the Guild upper echelons to shudder involuntarily.
"Ignorant fools! Since they want to die with the Asura Adventurers, I'll fulfill their wish! " A cold glint flashed through Xue Guang's eyes as he said coldly, "Give the order to place a bounty of 3,000 Gold Coins on each of these people. At the same time, send someone to keep an eye on them and notify the 12 Heavenly Demons to hurry over as soon as possible!"
"Understood!" Everyone in the Guild Leader's office nodded in agreement. They couldn't help but pity Cleansing Whistle and the others. Cleansing Whistle's actions were suicidal.
Very quickly, Hekati announced the bounty, causing a commotion throughout Cold Wind City.
"Crap! Hekati is trying to kill the Asura Adventurers! "
"Three thousand Gold?! We've made a fortune! Even members of the same adventurer team will try to kill Cleansing Whistle and the others. "
"However, these people are simply too strong. It's impossible to kill them."
"Who says so? While it's true that they're strong, there are so many tools in God's Domain. If you have a powerful tool, killing them won't be impossible. It's just a matter of whether you're willing to spend it. However, with 3,000 Gold, experts with powerful tools might try to kill them."
"I really don't understand what the Asura Adventurers are thinking. Not only did they make an enemy out of Hekati, but they've also made an enemy out of every Guild in Cold Wind City. Now that their resources have been cut off, and their peak experts have been targeted, the Asura Adventurers are doomed."
"I know, right? At the end of the day, an adventurer team is still an adventurer team. They're still too inexperienced to go up against a large Guild."
…
Everyone was envious of Hekati's new bounty, and they all wished they could charge into the Asura Adventurers' Residence. However, even more independent players felt pity for the Asura Adventurers.
If not for the fact that Asura Adventurers had targeted Cold Wind City, Hekati wouldn't have been able to do anything to the Asura Adventurers. In the end, the Asura Adventurers might have grown into an adventurer team that even the various large Guilds feared.
While everyone discussed the matter, the Asura Adventurers announced the official launch of the Adventurer Alliance and welcomed everyone to the Asura Adventurers' Residence to sign up. As long as one met the requirements to become an independent player, they could join the Adventurer Alliance and enjoy some of the benefits of the Asura Adventurers.
"The Asura Adventurers are really stupid. Who would still dare to join the alliance at this time?"
"That's right! Most of the Level 50 weapons and equipment are produced by Guilds. How much equipment can an adventurer team possibly have? Only those who don't want future weapons and equipment will join this boring Adventurer Alliance. "
…
Nobody was interested in the Asura Adventurers' announcement. In fact, they didn't even want to have anything to do with the Asura Adventurers. Meanwhile, the various large Guilds simply sneered at the Asura Adventurers' announcement.
"Commander, we've been promoting the Adventurer Alliance for half a day now, but not a single player is willing to join," Yan Ya said, exasperated as she sat in the adventurer team's Residence.
She had to admit that the various large Guilds had been quite effective recently. They had forcefully deterred most independent players from joining the Adventurer Alliance.
"Alright, then. I had intended to save some face for the various large Guilds, but since they don't want it, there's no need for us to hold back," Shifu said, unconcerned. He then continued, "Tell Solitary Nine to post the Adventurer Alliance's exchange list on the official forums."
