Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City:
As the Dark Night Empire's imperial capital, a large number of players gathered here every day. No matter the time of day, Dark Night City was bustling with activity.
However, at this moment, silence reigned in Unyielding Soul's Residence's meeting room.
"What did you say? Starlink lost?! "Unyielding Heart, who wore black armor, was stunned when he heard his subordinate's report.
Even Unyielding Soul was confident of defending Moon Creek Town against 300,000 elite and expert players and over a hundred Large Ballistas, yet Starlink had lost.
No matter how he looked at it, this was a joke.
"Mhm. According to the latest reports from Moon Creek Town, Starlink has already retreated to the Silent Canyon. Based on our estimates, Starlink has lost over 7,000 players and over 50 Large Ballistas. It's a heavy loss." That's quite a heavy loss, "the Tier 2 Assassin reported, nodding." Here are the battle videos we've collected from Moon Creek Town.
Unyielding Soul had long since received news of Starlink's attack on Moon Creek Town. Hence, it had dispatched quite a few players to the town, which allowed it to collect a relatively comprehensive report on the battle.
Whether it was the Guardian Puppets destroying Moon Creek Town's defensive magic array or the Fire Spirit slaughtering Starlink Army's army, the Guild had seen everything.
"Amazing! With such combat power, it's no wonder why Starlink had no choice but to retreat. "
"The Ling YI Society really can't be underestimated. Haven't Unyielding Heart made plenty of deals with Ling Yi? Let's see if we can rope them in as an ally. We can trade 3% of our shares for 10% of Ling Yi's shares. "
"A share exchange?"
Unyielding Heart was a little surprised by the Guild's upper echelon's proposal. He had never thought that a Guild would be willing to trade its shares. This was the first time something like this had happened. However, when he thought about the four Guardian Puppets and the Fire Spirit, he agreed that such a deal was worth it.
Long Soul and Hunting Blade, who sat beside Unyielding Soul, inwardly sighed when they saw this.
Previously, Zero Wing had only been a Guild that could rival first-rate Guilds, yet in just a short time, it had developed into a Guild that Unyielding Soul was willing to trade its shares for.
"Starlink has suffered heavy losses this time. If it wants to attack us in the future, it'll have to rest for a while and accumulate strength. We can take advantage of this opportunity to take down the stronghold in the Mirage Maze as soon as possible."
"Yes! We've been at odds with Starlink in the Sea of Trees' Mirage Maze. As long as we secure one of the strongholds in the Mirage Maze, we'll be able to obtain a large number of Magic Crystals and combat techniques quickly. We won't have to worry about nurturing experts anymore. "
Inside the conference hall, Unyielding Soul's upper echelons looked at the report in their hands. Although they were surprised by the strength of the Ling YI Society, they were even more delighted by Starlink's defeat.
Elsewhere, the various major powers had also received news of Moon Creek Town's situation, and for a time, they were shocked.
He had never thought that the incomparably powerful Starlink would actually lose.
Moreover, they were defeated by a Ling YI Society that they were not familiar with.
"Ling YI Society?"
"Investigate it! Have someone investigate Ling Yi immediately! Find out what kind of Guild Ling Yi is! "
Suddenly, Ling Yi's name became the target of the Dark Night Empire's various major powers. Every one of them wanted to know more about the Ling YI Society.
After all, a Guild capable of defeating Starlink had suddenly appeared in the Dark Night Empire. This was a massive blow to the empire, and it was certain that the empire would undergo a major transformation in the future.
If they did not investigate the Ling YI Society, they might unwittingly be buried in this transformation.
Dark Night Empire, Silver Pine City:
After the battle at Moon Creek Town, the previously turbulent city had calmed down. A large number of players from other cities had flooded into Silverpine City. Among them, Shi Feng noticed that the majority of the players in the Teleportation Hall were members of the empire's various large Guilds. He even saw quite a few of these Guilds' upper echelons. For a time, it was as if Silverpine City had become the Dark Night Empire's imperial capital. The various major powers had gathered here.
"Big Sis Crimson, the Vice Guild Leaders of three second-rate Guilds and one first-rate Guild are here. They wish to discuss a partnership with our Guilds," a female Vice Guild Leader said as she entered the Teleportation Hall. "Do you wish to meet with them?" a Level 58 female Summoner asked as she entered the Vice Guild Leader's office.
"They're here again?" Crimson Heart smiled bitterly. "Alright, then. Have them wait in the reception room. I'll head over in a moment."
Since she had returned to Silver Pine City, more than 20 large Guilds had sought her out. Among them, the weakest was a third-rate Guild, while the strongest rivaled the Hundred Flowers Palace.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
This was all due to Ling Yi's alliance with the Hundred Flowers Palace. To get closer to the Ling YI Society, the various large Guilds had come to her. On the surface, they claimed to be working with their Guilds, but in reality, they wanted her to introduce them to Ling Yi. After all, compared to approaching the Ling YI Society themselves, having an ally's recommendation was far more reliable.
"Understood!" The female Summoner nodded. She then turned and left, her heart brimming with pride.
In the past, if a first-rate Guild's Vice Guild Leader had come to her office, Crimson Heart would've accepted the invitation without hesitation. However, things were different now. Even a first-rate Guild's Vice Guild Leader could only wait.
Following which, Crimson Heart shifted her gaze to the Shifeng seated beside her.
"Commander Ye Feng, are you sure you only want to choose these Shops?" Crimson Heart asked curiously as she looked at the Shifeng.
According to the contract between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Ling Yi, as long as Ling Yi defended Moon Creek Town, the Hundred Flowers Palace would form an alliance with Ling Yi. In return, Ling Yi would protect Starlink. At the same time, the Hundred Flowers Palace would give up 50% of its Shops' management rights.
Crimson Heart had assumed that the Shifeng would choose the Shops in the Hundred Flowers Palace's major NPC cities, but to her surprise, the Shifeng hadn't done so. Instead, he had chosen many NPC cities with low player populations. Some had even chosen NPC towns. In contrast, the Hundred Flowers Palace had chosen none of the five Shops in Dark Night City. Crimson Heart couldn't understand why the Hundred Flowers Palace had chosen such a decision.
"Mhm, these are enough," Shifeng said, nodding. He didn't bother to explain.
To the current Ling YI Society, NPC cities weren't important. After all, Ling Yi had already joined the Secret Chamber of Commerce as a member. The Guild didn't lack sales channels in major NPC cities. The Guild only needed to raise its status in the Secret Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, it lacked NPC cities and important NPC towns with low player populations.
Moreover, a large part of the reason he had chosen these NPC towns was to facilitate the transportation of non-space materials. In the future, materials that couldn't be stored in a bag would become increasingly important. Among these materials, there was no lack of Epic items and war weapons.
Currently, not a single power knew about this matter. Naturally, he had to make plans as soon as possible.
As Shifeng and Crimson Heart were about to transfer the management rights to the Shops, the sound of a series of system notifications entered their ears, echoing in their minds.
