"Build a city?"
Adolf, Divine Tribe's Great Elder, was stunned when he heard the Shifeng's words. He couldn't help but glance at Shiuse Qiangwei and the others, who stood behind the Shifeng.
For a moment, he felt as if the Shifeng were joking with him.
If Yan Xiaoqian were present and heard the Shifeng's words, she'd think that the Shifeng was crazy.
Although players could construct their own Guild Towns or Guild Towns on the western and eastern continents, the number of Guild Towns and Cities on the western continent was far lower than on the eastern continent due to the large number of Demonic Creatures.
Most of the towns and cities in kingdoms and empires were managed by the Adventurer's Association, and the Adventurer's Association had tasked the various large Guilds with protecting these towns and cities. As a result, the western continent's various large Guilds had no choice but to dispatch a large number of manpower to manage these towns and cities.
As a result, the western continent's various powers were severely lacking in manpower. Very few had the ability to construct their own Guild Towns and Cities.
Moreover, aside from the lack of manpower, there was another important reason why the various powers were unwilling to construct their own Guild Towns and Cities.
The Demonic Creature army!
The Demonic Creature army didn't just attack the various border towns and cities. From time to time, they would also attack towns and cities in kingdoms and empires. Hence, regardless of whether the various powers constructed their own Guild Towns and Cities in kingdoms and empires, they had to deal with the Demonic Creature army on a regular basis.
The Demonic Creature army wasn't the same as monster sieges. The Demonic Creature army was like an NPC army, only it was composed of all kinds of Demonic Creatures.
The Demonic Creature army was no different from an NPC army sieging a city. In fact, the Demonic Creature army was even capable of using war weapons.
Unlike NPC towns and cities, Guild Towns and Cities didn't have a large number of NPCs to assist them in battle. Guild Towns and Cities, on the other hand, had to rely on hired NPC soldiers and the Guild's own strength to defend against the Demonic Creature army. It was easy to imagine how much manpower a Guild Town would have to expend.
Hence, very few powers had established their own Guild Towns on the western continent. Any power capable of establishing a Guild Town was an absolute powerhouse on the western continent. At the very least, they were at the standard of a first-rate Guild. Moreover, these first-rate Guilds only had one Guild Town. Only first-rate Guilds with two Guild Towns were considered pseudo-superpowers.
However, the Shifeng wanted to build a city in the Western Continent. If it were the higher-ups of other forces, they would probably chase the Shifeng out.
Because this wasn't cooperation, this was robbery!
"President Hei Yan, do you know the situation in the Western Mainland? Establishing a Guild Town on the western continent is far more difficult than you can imagine. Even Divine Tribe only has five Guild Towns on the western continent, "Adolf explained after calming himself down.
On the western continent, establishing a Guild City wasn't difficult. The difficult part was defending it.
Ordinary powers couldn't even begin to imagine the manpower and resources required to establish such a Guild.
Currently, the Shifeng only had 10 members. Even if the Shifeng were heaven-defying, Divine Tribe would still need to dispatch a large number of people to defend the Guild Town. The resources required to secure the Guild Town wouldn't be much lower than the profits Divine Tribe would earn if they cooperated with the Shifeng. After all, Ling Yi was only a pseudo-superpower on the eastern continent. Her sphere of influence wasn't very large, so the resources she could obtain were considerably limited.
Moreover, the resources Divine Tribe could earn weren't a problem. The problem was that they would have fewer people to rely on in the future.
"I know how difficult it is to establish a Guild Town on the western continent. That is why I need Divine Tribe's help," Adolf said, nodding. Shi Feng nodded. Chuckling, he continued, "So long as you succeed, I'll buy rare materials worth 3,000,000 Magic Crystals at market price!"
He had some understanding of the western continent's situation. Naturally, he knew how difficult it was to establish a Guild City on the western continent, not to mention a Guild like Zero Wing that didn't have any roots on the western continent. Establishing a Guild City on the western continent was simply a pipe dream.
However, this was necessary for Ling Yi's future development. Otherwise, without a foothold on the western continent, even if Ling Yi could travel between the two continents, she would still be restricted on the western continent.
This was also why the various superpowers that could travel between the two continents had established footholds on the western continent. Take Azure's Demonstone Town, which was located outside the Fire Dragon Empire, as an example.
Once Azure had its own economic and trade zone, countless powers and players would travel there to conduct business. Even if some powers grew jealous of Azure's economic and trade zone, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Moreover, aside from this problem, there was an even bigger one.
In the future, more powers would be able to travel between the two continents. At that time, the competition would grow. In fact, Divine Tribe might even move to the eastern continent in the future. At that time, he would have nothing to do with Divine Tribe.
Hence, if he didn't establish a city on the western continent as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to earn anything in the future.
"Three million Magic Crystals?" Adolf's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the Shifeng. Even his breathing grew heavy. He had never thought that Ling Yi would possess such frightening wealth. "President Hei Yan, are you serious?"
Magic Crystals were the western continent's absolute currency. Many rare materials couldn't be purchased with Coins, but they could be purchased with Magic Crystals. In fact, even if the seller begged for them, the buyer might not necessarily agree.
The western continent wasn't like the eastern continent. Not only did it lack Magic Crystals, but it also had a much higher demand for Magic Crystals. For example, the Combat Runes that the various major powers gave their Guild members required Magic Crystals as the main material. One could just imagine how much these powers needed Magic Crystals.
This was also why they had dispatched their trump card legions to compete with the Azure Chamber of Commerce for the Demonic Silver mine.
Three million Magic Crystals!
To any superpower on the western continent, this was an astronomical sum.
If Divine Tribe could obtain three million Magic Crystals, not only would it surpass the other superpowers in terms of exploring Level 100-plus maps, but it would also solve the Guild's Combat Rune research funding problem and upgrade its Combat Runes to the Tier 3 standard. At that time, Divine Tribe could truly stand on equal footing with the various Super Guilds. In fact, it might even surpass them.
"Of course. However, this will depend on Great Elder's sincerity," Shifeng said. He couldn't help but marvel at the Magic Crystals' effects when he saw Adolf's fiery gaze.
Although he had long since known that Magic Crystals were extraordinarily important to the western continent, seeing Adolf, an expert who was only second to peerless monsters, so excited proved that the western continent's Magic Crystals were extraordinarily scarce.
"Alright, I can agree to your request on behalf of Divine Tribe. However, Divine Tribe can only dispatch an 80,000-man elite army and 20,000 elite experts to help you. Whether or not you can defend the city with these people will depend on you," Adolf said, gritting his teeth.
"An army of 100,000 is more than enough, but I'll need to borrow your trump card legion while I occupy the city," Shifeng said, nodding.
An army of 80,000 elite and 20,000 experts was more or less the limit for a first-rate Guild on the western continent. After all, the western continent had far too many NPC towns and cities that required manpower to maintain.
"That won't be a problem. I'll have Macafre lead a team over. However, I have to say this in advance. If we lose more than 30% of our trump card legion, we'll withdraw our trump card legion."
Adolf wasn't surprised by Shifeng's request. After all, the fastest way to establish a city on the western continent was to capture another NPC force's city.
Following which, Shifeng signed a contract with Adolf. According to the contract, Divine Tribe would gather all the rare materials the Shifeng needed within seven days and dispatch an army of 100,000 to defend Ling Yi's city for three months. In exchange, Shifeng would pay three million Magic Crystals.
At the same time, Divine Tribe would be Ling Yi's only partner on the western continent. If Ling Yi wanted to purchase rare materials from the western continent, Divine Tribe would have priority over Ling Yi.
After signing the contract, Macafre led Divine Tribe's trump card legion back to Silver Lion City. Until the army captured a city, the Shifeng would command the army.
"President Hei Yan, what do you plan to do? With the combat power Divine Tribe has dispatched, we won't be able to capture many resource towns and cities in Level 90 maps. After considering the problem of defending the city, I suggest we focus on Level 80 resource towns and cities, "Macafre said as he took out a map.
Resource towns and cities in Level 90-plus maps were incredibly difficult to capture. Not only were the NPCs and monsters guarding the towns and cities Level 100-plus, but there were also several Level 100-plus Mythic monsters. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to capture a resource town and city in Level 80-plus maps.
Although the starting point was a little low, Guild Towns and Cities could be relocated. Moreover, Ling Yi's main goal was to establish a foothold on the western continent. Capturing a resource town and city in Level 80-plus maps was definitely a good choice.
"No, I'm not interested in those towns and cities. My goal is Star Valley's Starlight Fortress!"
Shifeng shook his head as he pointed to a small fortress located in Star Valley, a forbidden land in the western continent's southern region. This fortress was his main goal in coming to the western continent.
