This wasn't the first time that The Capital of Glory had attacked Ruling Sword's Stronghold. It would be strange if they didn't attack Lu Li.
A club that had only been established for a year had two Strongholds, and the locations were particularly good. As the overlord of the gaming circle, The Capital of Glory couldn't let Ruling Sword continue to develop like this.
Sometimes, it was hard to understand why the villain always waited for the protagonist to grow stronger before attacking the protagonist.
Ruling Sword could unequivocally say that no one had allowed them to develop. They were able to get to where they were today because of their hard work.
Before they had established their guild, they were chased and targeted by the Imperial Secret Service. After they had established their guild, they immediately provoked the Gangnam Royals, a giant in the gaming circle. There had been several full-scale guild wars, and other clubs had also targeted and obstructed them.
"I don't think it's that simple!" Wander found Lu Li with a serious expression.
It was rare to see him so serious. Most of the time, he looked lazy, but this didn't change the fact that he was an extremely intelligent person. He didn't speak easily, but when he did, it was hard to ignore.
"Why do you say that? What did you find out?" Lu Li was a little puzzled.
"With Eternal Kingdom's strength, how much effort do they have to take down Ruling Sword's Stronghold? Or are they so rich that they can completely ignore the huge sum of money?" Wander didn't believe that Eternal Kingdom was putting up a last-ditch struggle.
"You mean there's a trap here?" Lu Li was also confused about this matter.
"There's definitely a trap. The question is what kind of trap it is," Wander was very sure. He had a very keen insight into people's minds.
"Then I'll gather everyone together to study it," Lu Li quickly gathered everyone together. This time, the scope of the discussion was a little wider. After all, they didn't have any information on hand. In addition to the club executives, there were also the core members of the First Clear team.
Of course, Lu Li couldn't bring this matter to the guild. Even if Ruling Sword was strong, it didn't mean that there weren't spies from other clubs in the guild.
"Does everyone think there's some kind of conspiracy here?" Lu Li explained the situation and began to ask for everyone's opinion.
"Could it be that Eternal Kingdom wants to bid for a Fortress as an explanation to their rich backer? As for why they chose us? I can't think of anything either, "Dad Cat said. The main point was that no one could figure out why they had chosen Ruling Sword.
Even the Capital of Glory couldn't conquer the Fortress. What did Eternal Kingdom have?
"We can't rule out the possibility of coincidence, but this matter can't be handled as a coincidence," Lu Li said. Many people liked to lie to themselves, thinking that there would be no bad consequences. However, when the tragedy happened, they had no way to stop it.
Everyone expressed their opinions. Some thought it was a coincidence, while others thought that Eternal Kingdom had recruited a new batch of experts and had sufficient strength to attack the Black Sea Coast Fortress.
Lu Li listened to everyone's opinions while recalling some of the things that happened in his previous life.
If he remembered correctly, Eternal Kingdom should have bowed to the Capital of Glory and joined the Glory Alliance with The Capital of Glory as the core. This further intensified the situation of the Capital of Glory in the Horde.
However, he couldn't remember when Eternal Kingdom joined …
Wait!
Lu Li was shocked. If the current Eternal Kingdom was already a henchman of the Capital of Glory, then …
"I suspect one thing," Lu Li said in a low voice.
Everyone quieted down and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Let's say that the Capital of Glory has already absorbed Eternal Kingdom, or that they have made some kind of deal. One is attacking the Black Sea Coast, and the other is attacking Grey Valley. What kind of tricks can they play?" Lu Li asked.
"That's too sinister," Sky Moon suddenly thought.
Wander also looked relieved. He clearly understood what Lu Li meant.
Under normal circumstances, Ruling Sword had to defend two Strongholds at the same time. It was impossible to put in the same amount of strength. After all, Eternal Kingdom's strength wasn't strong, and the Capital of Glory was their number one enemy. Last time, they had almost taken down the Stronghold. Now that the officials had further weakened the strength of the defending side, the Stronghold was even more difficult to defend. Ruling Sword would inevitably put in most of their strength in Grey Valley. In addition to the ones that were given to Grand Hegemony, there wasn't much that could be used on the Black Sea Coast.
If Lu Li was Xiao Mo, he only needed to put his main force into Eternal Kingdom's attack team, and the Black Sea Coast Fortress would be easily won.
"Damn, that's really sinister," everyone was shocked.
"We already know the other side's plot, so we'll be fine," some people began to be optimistic.
"Of course it's good that we know, but that doesn't mean we'll be fine," Lu Li said with a frown. "This is just our speculation. If this speculation is wrong and the Capital of Glory's main attack is still on the Grey Valley Stronghold, then we'll be in big trouble."
Then everyone fell silent again. Lu Li's worries weren't without reason.
Did they have to focus on defending both Strongholds at the same time? That was even more unrealistic. Ruling Sword didn't have that kind of strength. Lu Li deeply felt the various inconveniences brought about by the lack of information. He secretly decided that in the future, he had to build up an information system. At the very least, he didn't have to rely on guesswork to solve problems.
In the end, they still didn't have enough strength, and they didn't have enough resources. It was just two Strongholds, and they were already struggling to defend. If there were more Strongholds in the future, wouldn't it be even harder to defend?
"There's no time to discuss this problem," Wander said. "We have to figure out their main attack, otherwise we'll definitely lose a Stronghold. If we focus on both Strongholds at the same time, we might not be able to defend either."
"Ask for reinforcements. At this time, we need allies," Lu Li said helplessly.
He didn't want to do this. Drizzle Court wanted to help Peerless City take down a Stronghold this week, and Lu Li had just agreed to Grand Hegemony. If he were to go back on his word now, where would he put his face?
However, Lu Li was never a person who cared about his face. Face couldn't be eaten.
Drinking Alone had just sent the news back, and before everyone had time to be happy, they were told that the reinforcements they had agreed on were gone. Fortunately, he could understand Lu Li's current situation, but their chances of attacking the new map were even slimmer.
"How about this, you guys give up on attacking the new Stronghold this week. No matter what tricks Eternal Kingdom has up their sleeves, they'll show their fox's tail in this Stronghold battle. Next time, Ruling Sword will fully support you in attacking a Stronghold. This week, you guys come and help me …" When it came to shamelessness, Lu Li had never been afraid of anyone.
