Upon hearing the Shifeng's words, the lively meeting room fell silent.
Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at the Shifeng's calm expression.
It was as if this was a trivial matter that could be accomplished with a wave of his hand …
The Orc Empire occupied a very large map. It might not be as large as an actual empire, but it was at least the size of a dozen or so neutral maps. Even now, the Ling YI Society was only active near the Primordial Divine Ruin in the Orc Empire's eastern region. Meanwhile, the entire southeastern region was more than ten times the Orc Empire's current active area.
It wouldn't be a big deal if the Orc Empire didn't have any enemies, but now that Blackwater had declared war on the Orc Empire, the Guild would have to compete for territory in the scarce high-resource areas to ensure that the Guild members in those areas could level up normally. At the same time, the Guild would gain an advantage over the Orc Empire.
The Orc Empire's current active area was already very tight on manpower.
If the Guild lacked manpower, Blackwater and Beast Emperor could easily take advantage of the situation and deal an unimaginable blow to the Orc Empire.
Currently, not only did Blackwater have an overwhelming number of members in the Orc Empire, but it had also attracted a large number of experts from the Ling YI Society. Now that they had dealt with a portion of the Dark Player problem, they had the time to expand their active area to ensure that they could obtain various resources and improve their Guild members.
If they expanded their active area by more than ten times, the Guild members would receive more leveling resources on average, rapidly increasing their levels and wealth. However, the Orc Empire simply didn't have the strength or manpower to defend such a large area.
If they didn't have enough manpower to patrol and monitor the Orc Empire, Blackwater and Beast Emperor could easily form an army to surround and annihilate their team.
In God's Domain, Guild teams generally caused a huge commotion when they were leveling up or doing large-scale quests. This was especially true when they occupied high-resource areas. It was very easy for others to discover them. Hence, Guilds needed people to monitor their surroundings to prevent enemy ambushes and encirclement.
Moreover, even if they could resolve their manpower issue and mobilize more Guild members from the Starmoon Kingdom, they still needed to be strong enough to patrol and monitor the Orc Empire's members.
However, players also needed to possess sufficient strength to perform surveillance and patrol quests. Otherwise, if they were discovered and killed by enemy parties, it would be fine if it happened once or twice, but if it happened eight or ten times, they would be crippled.
Not to mention, they also had to organize an effective defense and stall for time. After all, compared to a large group of players fleeing for their lives, it was easier for a small number of players to escape. Therefore, players who were tasked with monitoring and patrolling had to provide time for a large group of players to retreat. Without a certain level of strength, it was impossible to assume such a role.
"Guild Leader, although we can occupy more high-resource areas by expanding our territory and increase the Guild's strength, with our current strength, we can't defend such a large area. If we do, we'll give Blackwater an opportunity to annihilate our elite players." Shiuse Qiangwei suggested, "My suggestion is to occupy two or three more high-resource areas first. This way, we will have enough manpower and strength to defend ourselves. After we stabilize our strength, we can occupy more high-resource areas."
When everyone heard what Shiuse Qiangwei said, they all agreed.
If they expanded their territory by more than ten times, they could increase the leveling speed and wealth accumulation speed of their Guild members. However, they also needed to be able to defend their territory. If they allowed Blackwater and Beast Emperor's armies to annihilate them, the losses would outweigh the gains.
"While it's good to take things one step at a time, we don't have the time for that right now." Shifeng shook his head. "If we consider the current number of Guild members in Silverwing Town, this plan is indeed a good one. However, I plan to mobilize at least 150,000 players from the Starmoon Kingdom. We won't have enough high-resource areas to go around."
"150,000 players?" Shiuse Qiangwei was stunned. "Why are you suddenly mobilizing so many players?"
Since Silverwing Town's development until now, it had only hosted 112,000 active members. Moreover, this was only because Silverwing Town had recently been promoted to an Intermediate Town, which greatly increased its player capacity.
Now, the number of Guild members in Silverwing Town had more than doubled. With the current resources in Silverwing Town, it was impossible to support so many Guild members so quickly. Not to mention, due to the appearance of the airport, Silverwing Town's leveling resources would decrease even further.
Everyone in the meeting room gasped when they heard Shi Feng's words.
They could not understand what Shifeng was thinking. This plan was simply insane.
While increasing the number of players in Silverwing Town would increase its strength, at the end of the day, God's Domain was a virtual reality game. Every virtual reality game had a fatal flaw: the total number of leveling resources in a location was limited. The more players there were in a location, the fewer resources each player would receive.
Silverwing Town might become a powerful force in the Orc Empire for a short time, but as time passed, the gap between the levels and combat power of players in Silverwing Town would gradually widen. This was also why the various Super Guilds never concentrated their forces on a single location, despite having an overwhelming advantage in both strength and numbers.
Even if they wanted to deal with a specific power, they would only dispatch a small number of elites and experts. This way, not only would they not affect the growth of their Guild members in that area, but they could also increase the strength of that area.
This was also why Blackwater had suddenly become so powerful in the Orc Empire. Due to the Crimson Flame Fortress, Blackwater could dispatch a large number of players to the Orc Empire. In addition, with Beast Emperor's cooperation, without the threat of Evil Beasts and Evil Demons, Blackwater could freely occupy the Orc Empire's various resources. As a result, the Crimson Flame Fortress's population had increased significantly.
"I believe you all should know about the Secret Stone Fortress that has recently appeared in the Orc Empire, right?" Shifeng asked.
"Mhm. The Secret Stone Fortress is currently the only NPC fortress in the Orc Empire. It is also very close to the Orc Empire's inner region. You could say that it is a rest stop for the outer and inner regions of the Orc Empire. Moreover, it is close to the Copper Mountain Fortress, a resource hub in the Orc Empire's inner region. So long as players teleport to the Copper Mountain Fortress, they can reach a location close to the Copper Mountain Fortress.
"Because of this, many Guilds have set their sights on the Secret Stone Fortress. They are trying their best to raise the fortress's status so that their Guilds can garrison it and build a foundation for capturing the Cave Fortress."
In response to Shifeng's sudden question, Shiuse Qiangwei provided a detailed explanation of the Secret Stone Fortress.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Secret Stone Fortress had already become a must-win location for the various large Guilds. This was especially true after seeing Blackwater earn a fortune from capturing the Crimson Flame Fortress. Now, the various superpowers, which greatly desired a fortress, wanted one of their own.
