Lu Xingluo's words made Melancholy frown, but it only lasted for an instant.
"What do you mean, Guild Leader Xingluo?" Melancholy asked coldly.
Melancholy had long since known that Starlink and Ling Yi were enemies.
However, as a Guild Leader, the first thing he had to consider was profit and loss. There were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. This was why he had invited the Shifeng over for a discussion.
Not only could the Shifeng summon the powerful Thunder Eagle, but the Ling YI Society's Combat Puppets and war tanks were also very suitable for siege warfare.
The Gravity Mountain Range's fortress was of utmost importance. Although they were 70% or 80% confident of capturing the fortress, it was always good to have an additional force.
He had never thought that Lu Xingluo would still act like a hedonistic young master.
If it weren't for the person backing Lu Xingluo and Starlink's powerful foundation, which allowed them to deal with monsters in fortresses, and the fact that Starlink was far away from Thirteen Thrones' territory, there wouldn't be any conflicts of interest between them. Hence, he most likely wouldn't have agreed to work with Lu Xingluo.
"1,000 Ancient Gold should be enough. Many Guilds would fight to get 1,000 Ancient Gold just by watching from the sidelines," Lu Xingluo said, chuckling as he glanced at the Shifeng. "Don't you agree, President Hei Yan?"
"You …" Happy Art, who stood beside Lu Xingluo, bellowed.
After all, Melancholy was the one who had invited the Shifeng over. The Guild Leader hadn't said anything, yet Lu Xingluo had taken the initiative to make the decision. He was clearly looking down on Thirteen Thrones.
Happy Art had personally witnessed the Shifeng's strength. With the Thunder Eagle's combat power, it would definitely be of great help in this siege.
Moreover, Happy Art knew that Samsara had paid the Shifeng several dozen bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids, which couldn't be bought with money.
Although individual combat power would be of little use in a siege, if others found out that Thirteen Thrones had paid the Shifeng less than Samsara, they'd become a laughingstock.
However, just as Happy Art was about to say something, the Shifeng stepped forward.
"Guild Leader Star Luo is right. We'll be lucky if the spectating Guild gets 1,000 Ancient Gold. Only, I wonder how much the spectating Guild will get if it can't even defeat the spectating Guild?" Shifeng asked, smiling.
He knew Li Hen's way of doing things very well.
It was clear that Lu Xingluo had also grasped this point. He wasn't as ignorant as everyone thought him to be.
If Ling Yi cooperated with Thirteen Thrones, it would undoubtedly strengthen the relationship between the two Guilds.
Thirteen Thrones wasn't a super-first-rate Guild like Unyielding Soul or the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. It was a Guild that ranked above Super Guilds. If Starlink had Thirteen Thrones' support, it would have a much harder time dealing with Ling Yi.
Lu Xingluo understood this very well. Hence, even if Melancholy hated him, he had to make sure that Ling Yi wouldn't cooperate with Thirteen Thrones. After all, Melancholy only cared about benefits. He definitely wouldn't stop working with Starlink just because he hated Melancholy.
Of course, he couldn't let Lu Xingluo's plan succeed.
Moreover, he was very tempted by Dragonheart City's Shops. Although Shops in Dragonheart City weren't as profitable as fortresses, they were still an important way to earn Ancient Gold.
However, it would take a very long time to accumulate that much Ancient Gold in Dragonheart City. If he could get his hands on Thirteen Thrones' first bucket of Gold, he'd have a much easier time earning Ancient Gold in the future.
Happy Art inwardly chuckled when she heard Shifeng's words.
The various superpowers were no stranger to the war between Starlink and Ling Yi. Not only had Starlink failed several times, but it had also suffered significant losses.
"Hei Yan!" Lu Xingluo flew into a rage when he heard Shi Feng's words. "Don't think that you're amazing just because you've defended your turtle's nest! Capturing a fortress requires absolute strength! It's not something you can accomplish with your little tricks! Don't you think that Zero Wing is amazing? Why don't we have a real showdown? I won't take advantage of your numbers. We'll each send 10,000 players to the Divine Colosseum.
"If Zero Wing wins, I will no longer doubt Zero Wing's strength. I will also acknowledge that Zero Wing is worthy of the 10,000 Ancient Gold. However, if Zero Wing loses, you'll have to obediently collect your viewing fee!"
"Guild Leader Melancholy will be the witness for this match. May I know if Ling Yi dares to accept the challenge?"
When Happy Art heard Lu Xingluo's words, she inwardly cursed the man's shamelessness.
Just how powerful was Starlink's foundation?
Ling Yi had only recently gotten on the right track, and the number and quality of the Guild's experts couldn't compare to Starlink's. Moreover, the current expert players were much stronger than before. They had long since familiarized themselves with God's Domain's combat style. Their equipment was also getting better, and their physiques were also improving.
If this battle were only a 100-man competition, Ling Yi might have a chance of winning.
However, this was a 10,000-man competition. Ling Yi Society only had a few capable experts, while Starlink had plenty of old monsters, not to mention peak experts.
"In the end, he's still a little too young." Melancholy glanced at Shifeng, but he didn't say anything to Lu Xingluo.
After all, Lu Xingluo was right. Defending a city wasn't like attacking it. Defending a city was much easier, but attacking it was several times more costly.
Although Ling Yi was confident that he could withstand Starlink's assault, he was still far weaker than the Guild Leader.
It was unwise for Shifeng to challenge Lu Xingluo. Otherwise, Lu Xingluo wouldn't have seized the opportunity to attack him.
As for cooperating with Ling Yi, it was obvious that he couldn't do it this time.
If Ling Yi continued to fight with Starlink, he'd only humiliate himself. However, at the end of the day, Ling Yi was still a guest he had invited. He had no choice but to mediate the situation and have Ling Yi withdraw.
Just as Melancholy was about to speak, Shifeng looked at Lu Xingluo without hesitation and said calmly, "Guild Leader Xingluo, you don't have the right to decide whether Ling Yi is qualified or not. Moreover, you aren't qualified. Since you want to fight, we'll fight. Only, what will you do if you lose?"
"Has he lost his mind?" Melancholy stared at Shifeng in shock.
Starlink's strength rivaled that of a Super Guild. Not even Thirteen Thrones dared to underestimate the Guild's foundations.
Now that Ling Yi was in the limelight, he had recruited plenty of talents from the Dark Night Empire and the various kingdoms. If he lost to Starlink, the Reputation he had worked so hard to accumulate would go to waste. It was even possible that this battle would destroy Ling Yi. After all, the Guild had only been operating for a short period of time. It couldn't withstand any setbacks.
"I'm not qualified?" Lu Xingluo laughed, but his eyes were cold. "If I lose, I'll give you 10,000 Ancient Gold! Don't say I didn't give you enough time to gather your forces. We'll fight in Dark Night City in three days! "
"Alright! Dark Night City in three days! "Shifeng nodded.
After bidding farewell to Melancholy, Shifeng left the room and hurried back to the Guild's headquarters in White River City.
Before obtaining a Flying Mount, Shi Feng hadn't had the confidence to face Starlink in a direct confrontation, but now that he had a Flying Mount, the situation had changed. Now, he could travel to places that he couldn't before.
