"You can't agree?"
"President Hei Yan, what are you trying to say?"
Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard could not help their confusion as they stared at Shi Feng, who sat quietly in his seat.
The various major powers' members, who had yet to leave, were similarly stunned. Originally, they had thought that this would be a fierce battle and that Ling Yi would make the right choice. Yet, now, he had rejected the offer.
"Could Hei Yan have noticed that Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard are on the same boat and are trying to intimidate them?"
"That's very likely. After all, the situation in the Twin Towers Kingdom isn't good. There's no way they don't need a City Building Order."
"If I were in President Hei Yan's shoes, I might do the same. After all, half of the fourth underground floor's Resource Lands, including a fortress and a Tier 4 Legacy Land. Exchanging them for a City Building Order is truly a loss. Although the two Super Guilds have agreed to station their forces, without Hei Yan's deterrence and status on Dragonheart Island, no one would dare touch War Blood's Resource Lands and fortresses."
Everyone present could not help but understand the Shifeng's words. They all admired the Shifeng's brilliance. Now, the two Super Guilds were dumbfounded.
Currently, the two Super Guilds were frantically trying to get promoted to Tier 4.
This was because some superpowers had already produced Tier 4 players, yet the two Super Guilds had yet to produce a single Tier 4 player. One had to admit that the two Super Guilds were already lagging behind others in terms of combat power. Hence, the two Super Guilds were even more desperate to get their members promoted to Tier 4. Otherwise, with the two Super Guilds' status, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to seek cooperation.
While everyone was quietly discussing the matter, Shifeng looked at the two Super Guilds and said, "Please don't misunderstand. I understand your sincerity, but Ling Yi isn't that desperate for a City Building Order. In fact, he doesn't really need one."
"He doesn't really need a City Building Order?" Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard could not help but laugh when they heard Shifeng's words. "Then, may I know what President Hei Yan needs right now?"
At this moment, the two of them felt Shifeng. He was simply trying to deceive them, treating them like three-year-old children.
If these words had come from the person in charge of another power, they might've believed them. After all, a Guild City would only increase the Guild's foothold by a single point. However, in the current era where NPC forces ran amok, each additional foothold would require more people to protect it. This was a very troublesome matter.
However, to Zero Wing, this was nothing but nonsense!
However, the two of them did not want to embarrass the Shifeng, so they pretended to be curious.
"Manpower!" Shifeng looked at the two who were pretending to be indifferent and laughed involuntarily. "Perhaps the two of you don't believe me, but the only thing our Ling Yi lacks now is manpower. We don't lack anything else. If the two of you really want to cooperate and obtain the resource lands in the fourth underground floor of the World Tower, then show some sincerity."
When it came to the City Building Order, Shi Feng needed it, but he also didn't need it.
A Small Mobile Fortress was the equivalent of half a Guild City. A Guild City alone couldn't guarantee absolute control over a sacred leveling ground like the Secret Covenant Tower. Only a Small Mobile Fortress could do so.
After all, a Guild City did not have any offensive means. Instead, it was more focused on defense. Its only purpose was to serve as a place for players to rest and trade, as well as provide some convenience for players to travel to the Secret Covenant Tower. In the end, whether or not a Guild City could protect the Secret Covenant Tower from other powers would depend on its own strength.
Meanwhile, this was precisely what Ling Yi lacked the most right now.
However, a Small Mobile Fortress was a different story.
Not only did fortresses have extremely strong defenses, but they also had offensive and defensive functions. One could say that fortresses were top-tier war weapons. Otherwise, they wouldn't have become the overlords of the sky.
"Manpower?"
Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard nodded slightly in agreement with Shifeng's words. However, they still felt that Shifeng was putting on an act. Since Shifeng was putting on an act, Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard exchanged glances with each other, forming a tacit understanding. They wanted to see how long Shifeng could put on an act.
Smiling, Intoxicated Drunkard asked, "May I know how President Hei Yan intends to cooperate with our two Guilds?"
"It's simple. I only need your two Guilds to provide 300 Advanced Forgers, 200 Advanced Alchemists, 500 Advanced Architects, 100 Advanced Magicians, and two Master Magicians. In addition, each Guild will provide 10,000 Tier 3 players. These people will be under my command for half a month," Shifeng said, chuckling. "If both of you can agree to this, I'll let you have War Blood's two Small Fortresses."
Upon hearing Shifeng's words, Elder Wu and Intoxicated Drunkard were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand what Shifeng was trying to do.
Not only did the two Super Guilds not need a City Building Order, but they also wanted a large group of Lifestyle players. Although the two Super Guilds had requested 10,000 Tier 3 experts, the various superpowers had over 50,000 Tier 3 experts on average. Ten thousand Tier 3 experts would be nothing to the two Super Guilds.
On the other hand, Shifeng's offer was very generous.
A Small Fortress in the fourth underground floor. With this Small Fortress, their two Guilds would be able to stay on the fourth underground floor for a short time. At the same time, they would have the confidence to explore the fifth underground floor.
"May I know what you two have decided?" Shi Feng asked, smiling.
City Building Order?
A Small Fortress in the fourth underground floor?
A Tier 4 Legacy Land?
To the current Shi Feng, these things were nothing. As long as he had a Small Mobile Fortress, no one in God's Domain would be able to threaten Ling Yi. Not even Tier 4 players could do anything to him!
Only, constructing a Small Mobile Fortress required a lot of manpower. The project was also massive. It wasn't something Shi Feng could accomplish by himself. Originally, he had been worried that he didn't have enough manpower. He had even considered having Candlelight's Lifestyle players rest and focus on the construction of the Small Mobile Fortress.
He never thought that the two Super Guilds would deliver themselves to his doorstep. If he let these two Super Guilds escape, he would truly be depressed.
"President Hei Yan, are you serious?" Intoxicated Drunkard doubted Shi Feng's words.
"Please rest assured. We can sign a contract stating that Ling Yi will not take any action against the two Small Fortresses. Your two Guilds can attack and occupy them freely. We can even stop the Secret Hand Association's NPCs from interfering with your two Guilds," Shifeng said, nodding with a sincere smile.
"If President Hei Yan says so, then I will agree on behalf of Thirteen Thrones," Elder Wu said without hesitation.
To Super Guilds like them, manpower was the last thing they lacked. Even though Shifeng required a lot of manpower, it was still within an acceptable range for Super Guilds like Thirteen Thrones.
"The Four Saints Society has no problem with that, either!" Intoxicated Drunkard nodded, his face beaming with joy.
They didn't need to give up something as precious as a City Construction Order. Instead, they only had to pay a measly amount of manpower to capture War Blood's Small Stronghold. This was a bargain for them.
As for the Secret Hand Association, Shifeng only needed to say a word, and the Secret Hand Association's Tier 4 NPCs would most likely have a hard time entering the fourth underground floor. After all, the Holy Star Knight Legion was the World Tower's guardian and manager. Stopping NPCs from attacking players who didn't abide by the rules was child's play.
Without the Secret Hand Association, War Blood would only have one Tier 4 player, Autumn Plant. War Blood's NPCs were nothing in their eyes.
The various major powers were envious of Shifeng's offer. They had never thought that the Shifeng would offer them such easy conditions.
Even so, the various major powers still couldn't fulfill such conditions. Setting aside the fact that Zero Wing had so many Lifestyle players, just 10,000 Tier 3 experts wasn't an amount any of the major powers could afford. Only the various superpowers could afford such a large number of Tier 3 experts.
Very quickly, the three parties signed a contract, stipulating that the two Guilds' members would be under the Shifeng's command for half a month. At the same time, all of their actions during this time had to be kept secret.
After signing the contract, the two Guilds began frantically dispatching their members to Dragonheart Island. This was because the contract would only take effect after all of their members had arrived and were transferred to the Shifeng. In other words, without their members present, they could forget about capturing War Blood's Small Fortresses.
While the two Guilds frantically mobilized their members, the Shifeng finally had some free time.
Inside the quiet Wanderer's Shop's third-floor hall, the Shifeng took out the several items Sabrid had dropped and carefully inspected them.
Previously, as he had been too busy, he hadn't had the time to carefully inspect Sabrid's loot. Now that he was done with his business, he could finally take a good look at the items.
As the vice commander of Dragonheart City's City Defense Knight Legion, a Level 160, Tier 4 NPC, and an upper echelon of the Secret Hand Association, no one would believe that Sabrid only had one Fragmented Legendary item on him.
