However, the Life Alliance was just a loose organization after all. The internal members didn't have much fighting power. Half-life Crystal's biggest wish was to be able to establish a foothold for her brothers and sisters in the game. It would be best if it was a Stronghold.
However, this was too difficult. Many super clubs didn't even have a Stronghold.
She and her Life Alliance spared no effort in helping Lu Li, hoping that Lu Li could fulfill his promise and help the Life Alliance build a Stronghold.
Half-life Crystal thought that it would take a year and a half, or even longer, for this wish to be fulfilled. She didn't think that Lu Li would inform her to prepare to take over the Stronghold. Moreover, from his tone, it sounded like he was very confident.
They didn't have too much ambition, or rather, the form of their ambition was different from ordinary clubs. So, defending the Grey Valley Stronghold for Ruling Sword wasn't bad for them. Instead, it made them feel more secure.
This Stronghold belonged to Ruling Sword. If they couldn't defend it, Ruling Sword wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. They would do their best to help them, and they wouldn't have to owe them any favours.
Half-life Crystal displayed an enthusiasm that bordered on fanaticism.
At the beginning of the game, she was just an ignorant little girl. After being saved by Lu Li, she began to have ambitions. Afterwards, things became smoother and smoother. Apart from Ruling Sword, she had a good relationship with the other clubs. In addition, she also won over a large number of solo experts.
They sold materials and equipment to these experts at a low price, providing logistical support that large guilds could provide.
For example, if these experts lost equipment in PVP, they just needed to say hello and the corresponding equipment would be immediately sent over. It didn't matter if they didn't have money at the moment. As long as you were an expert, you could buy as much as you wanted. The Life Alliance was rich and overbearing. They didn't even care if you paid them back.
Their usual efforts to win over these experts began to show its effects now. In a common saying, once a hero's invitation was sent out, people would immediately come to help.
Lu Li asked them to prepare 100 experts. This way, they could randomly choose 40 people out of 100. Then, Ruling Sword would send out another 40 people to help. He didn't think that Half-life Crystal would directly throw out a list of 200 people. Most of the people on it weren't unknown.
Lu Li discovered that they could completely take down the Stronghold by themselves.
After all, Grand Hegemony was only defending for show. The ownership of the Stronghold had already been decided in private.
Drinking Alone came two more times, the second time he even brought Northern Tang Dream and Northern Tang Kitty, hoping to salvage their relationship with the Alliance, but was rejected by Lu Li. There was no room for discussion.
He had only formed a team with these people when the game had just been released. They really didn't have a deep friendship.
If it wasn't for the conflict of principles, Lu Li wouldn't have minded developing a relationship with them. He wasn't someone who didn't care about old friendships, but once his bottom line was crossed, these people weren't enough.
Emperor Hegemony probably accepted his fate and quickly sent the money over.
In addition to the price they had to pay to recover the shares in Lu Li's hands, there was also the price of the land auction. When the time came, not only the Life Professional Alliance would participate in the auction, but the other clubs would also participate. In order to appease Lu Li, they would also pay this price.
To be honest, no matter how confident Emperor Hegemony was, they knew that their own club could not afford to offend Lu Li.
Ruling Sword had clashed with The Capital of Glory many times and had never suffered a loss. Lu Li was recognized by everyone as someone who was both ruthless and narrow-minded. He was a vengeful person, so if you offended him, you wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Only a silly girl like Water Fairy would think that her boyfriend was a typical inspirational legend.
Although The Capital of Glory would be very busy, Lu Li did not let his guard down.
If he was Xiao Mo, the boss of The Capital of Glory, he would definitely not follow the script in the face of such a situation. He would shake hands with Blood Red War Flag and unite with other clubs to divide up a few of Ruling Sword's Strongholds.
Unfortunately, in the end, Xiao Mo was still Xiao Mo.
His strong personality made it impossible for him to do such a cunning and shameless thing. Ever since he took control of The Capital of Glory, he had always knocked out his opponents one by one. Even when he was surrounded by a group of heroes, he never gave in. As such, Lu Li was very confident in him.
The twelfth Stronghold War had officially begun.
Ruling Sword continued to maintain a defensive stance. The Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley's first Stronghold had already been successfully defended by them more than ten times. As long as there were no accidents, there was basically no suspense.
Drizzle Court occupied the first Stronghold in Western Wilderness and planned to attack the second Stronghold on the map.
Gale Legion also adopted a defensive stance. They had extra manpower to participate in Drizzle Court's attack on the second Stronghold in Western Wilderness to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The Life Alliance was not a club group. The symbol of a club was that they had a team and were ranked in the top 100 in a large-scale competition. They spent a lot of money to buy the second Stronghold in Grey Valley, and their target was Grand Hegemony.
Anyone with a bit of insight could tell that there was a problem between Grand Hegemony and Ruling Sword.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much money to slap them in the face.
In order to prevent some clubs from shamelessly slapping themselves in the face, the officials would evaluate the process of the competition. There were a bunch of parameters involved. Once it was determined that one side was acting, that side would be disqualified. There would also be other relevant penalties, such as not being able to participate in the Stronghold War for three times. If it was determined that both sides were acting, then the Stronghold would be taken back and reopened in the next Stronghold.
No one dared to test how determined the officials were.
Grand Hegemony didn't dare, because they still had to fight other Strongholds.
The Life Alliance didn't dare either. It wasn't like they didn't have the strength to fight a Stronghold. At most, Grand Hegemony wouldn't put in so much effort and would just play normally.
Without the help of Ruling Sword and without any external help, Grand Hegemony humiliatingly lost to a loose group of Trade Profession players. They became a laughing stock for a long time. When people criticized them, they said that they couldn't even beat Trade Profession players.
This Stronghold War was very exciting and left its name in the history of the game.
The most exciting was, of course, the battle between The Capital of Glory and Blood Red War Flag. It was far more exciting than Ruling Sword's defensive battle.
The Capital of Glory didn't invite any allies, just as Lu Li had predicted.
They and their subordinate clubs faced off against the allied forces of Blood Red War Flag, Azure Guard, Seventh Heaven, Grand Hegemony, Wings of Dawn, Peacetime Dynasty, Purple Lunar Paradise, Brotherhood and Majin Temple.
