"What's even weirder is that no matter how I look at it, it just feels weird."
Moon Illuminates the Great River was still puzzled. He continued, "Since Dust of Star is going to establish a guild, with his hidden class [Qi Refiner] and his amazing performance at the auction, there's no need to worry that he won't be able to recruit players, right? Why is he so low-key when establishing a guild? If Brother Black didn't tell us, we wouldn't know. "
"Could it be that this is a special hobby of the aristocratic families?"
Song Wen and Feng Qiuhuang were slightly embarrassed.
"Brother Mingyue, I don't have such a hobby!"
"Ah, haha! Wrong, wrong ~ ~ ~ "
Moon Illuminates the River was also stunned, only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.
Bai Hua was also speechless when he saw that his big brother couldn't control his big mouth.
Ouyang Shuo was silent. He guessed that perhaps Dust of Star's family had different opinions on whether or not he should appear. That was the only explanation for Dust of Star's strange and contradictory behavior.
"There's something more interesting!"
Although the Black Mamba didn't know the reason, it still had some information to reveal.
"What?"
"Guess what? On the day of the establishment of the Star Alliance, Di Chen personally came to congratulate them. "
There was another period of silence in the pavilion.
The information that the Black Mamba revealed was really thought-provoking.
Would Di Chen and the other prominent forces collude with the hidden aristocratic families? After the defeat in the Lianzhou battle, the Yan Huang Alliance had been silent for a while. They were probably going through some internal pain.
To the Yan Huang Alliance, if they could rope in the hidden aristocratic families, it would undoubtedly be a good move.
"Don't worry about them, just do our own things."
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile.
With the Mountain and Sea Alliance's current strength and influence, they had the confidence to deal with any challenges.
"Wuyi is right, in the end, we still have to rely on our strength."
Which of the people present had not been through great storms and waves? The Yan Huang Alliance's little tricks weren't enough to scare them. Not to mention Ouyang Shuo, even Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang had gained a lot from this round of territory battles.
To the Yan Huang Alliance, their greatest weakness was achievement points.
As long as Di Chen and the others didn't become Marquises, their territory would not have a chance to rise.
"Speaking of the Star Alliance, I have an idea."
Xie Siyun suddenly said, "Of the ten major guilds, the Alliance takes up three, plus the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group]. Could he follow the example of a territory alliance and form a guild alliance? This way, we can advance and retreat together in some guild operations. "
"That's a good idea. I agree!" Bright Moon Illuminates the River was the first to agree. "I won't hide it from you all. Actually, I've had this thought for a long time, but I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough. It would be best if Clan Leader Xie could come forward and take charge. "
"I agree too!" The Black Mamba Snake followed suit.
"Since that's the case, let's call Sword Qi Thunder over for discussion."
"I'll go get her!"
Feng Qiuhuang volunteered and left.
He was happy to see Ouyang Shuo not interfere with Xie Siyun's Guild Alliance.
Previously, Snow Sorrow, Rose, and the other guilds had said that they were part of the Mountain and Sea Alliance. However, due to the limitations of the system, guilds and territories could not truly form an alliance.
Their cooperation was not guaranteed by a contract.
As such, the relationship between guilds and the Alliance of Mountains and Seas was not close.
Apart from that, some of the cooperation within the alliance was limited to one-on-one cooperation between guilds and territories. For example, [Snow Rose] with Shanhai City, [Cool Breeze Pavilion] with Lingxi City, and [Tingyu Tower] with Fallen Phoenix City.
In reality, there was no cooperation between guilds.
If they could form a guild alliance under the framework of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas, the situation would naturally be different.
Xie Siyun's idea of forming a guild alliance had a big background.
As adventure-type players began to appear, there was constant friction between guilds, especially between guilds in the same Royal City. From time to time, small-scale guild wars would break out.
After the territory wars, the guild wars would also usher in a small peak.
Speaking of this, it was necessary to mention the setting of the Royal City.
The nine Royal Cities were not isolated cities, but a complete ecosystem.
The periphery of the Royal City could be roughly divided into three circles.
The circle closest to the Royal City was called the Village Circle, and was densely packed with NPC villages.
The main function of these villages was to provide food, vegetables, fruits, and other daily necessities for the people living in the Royal City and the tens of millions of adventure-type players.
For adventure-type players, the NPC villages were similar to beginner's villages.
In the villages, players could receive some daily quests, such as fighting monsters and exploring.
If the leisure players, who were mainly middle-aged and elderly, did not like the crowded life in the Royal City, they could also choose to settle in the NPC villages and live the life of a farmer and enjoy the countryside.
The second circle outside the Royal City was all kinds of resource points.
Large farms, royal pastures, orchards, tea plantations, fish ponds, forests, and mines.
There was no doubt that these resource points were used to transport raw materials for the industries and handicrafts of the Royal City.
The major resource points were also a paradise for life professional players. Players worked in the various resource points as hired workers, earning a meager salary while training their life skills.
The third circle outside the Royal City was the main battlefield for combat professional players.
Forests, grasslands, deserts, cemeteries, mountains, lakes.
There were all kinds of terrains and different high-level monsters for players to train in.
The deeper they went, the higher the level of the monsters.
At the same time, it was also a gathering point for all kinds of rare materials.
After the life professional players advanced to the intermediate level, they needed all kinds of rare materials to train their skills. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to make a name for themselves in the second circle.
Outside the third circle was the real wilderness, which was also the territory of the overlord players.
The focus of the major guilds was concentrated in the third circle.
Fighting for leveling up and rare material gathering points.
All the good places were basically controlled by the major guilds.
It was already extremely difficult for a lone ranger to survive in the third circle's periphery. Therefore, even the most unsociable adventure-type players would form an adventurer team with their friends.
In the past, adventure-type players were not high level and did not have good equipment, so most players could only move around in the first and second circles. Only the elite groups of the major guilds could establish a foothold in the third circle.
A year had passed, and the situation had changed.
A large number of players began to have the ability to explore the third circle.
What followed was naturally the competition and occupation of resources.
Therefore, the competition between the guilds began to become more and more intense.
[Snow Death Rose Mercenary Group] was the second largest guild in the China Server, and no other guild in Jianye could challenge their position as the overlord.
Even so, Xie Siyun had to prepare for a rainy day.
Many ants could even kill an elephant.
In the face of a group of tens of millions of players, the power of a guild was ultimately limited.
Just like the territory war, in the future, it would be possible to fight across the capital city in the guild war.
In the guild war, the ability of an elite group was very terrifying, and it was enough to change the direction of the war.
By forming a guild alliance, they could coordinate with each other.
Based on the common understanding, the formation of the guild alliance went very smoothly.
The Snow Rose Mercenary Group, the Breeze Pavilion, the Tower of the Rain, and the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group officially formed an alliance. As soon as the alliance was formed, it became a giant in the China server.
The alliance contract stipulated that the members should help each other and share information.
An alliance contract wasn't as simple as adding a few allies.
Take the Breeze Pavilion as an example. After joining the guild alliance, it had the support of the alliance, and its development and expansion in Dali would be even more confident.
If the local guilds in Dali wanted to unite against the Breeze Pavilion, they would have to consider the alliance's support.
Seeing that the guild alliance had been formed, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to mention the Cliff State.
For adventurous players, the Cliff State was definitely attractive.
Ouyang Shuo planned to invite the other guilds to send elite groups to explore the Five Finger Mountain.
After listening to Ouyang Shuo's description of the Cliff State, the eyes of the four guild leaders lit up. The mysterious Five Finger Mountain and the Secret Realm of Nanshan Grotto-Heaven were all tempting.
"Shuo, you did a good job in keeping it a secret!" Lin Jing began to grind her teeth.
This was the first time Ouyang Shuo exposed the Cliff State to his allies. Even during the battle of Lianzhou, Bai Hua and the others didn't know where Ouyang Shuo went.
Ouyang Shuo smiled without saying a word.
Only by forming the Tiger Army, the Cliff State would have the confidence to welcome guests from all over.
Ouyang Shuo didn't expect there to be no spies from other forces within the guilds. It was foreseeable that once the elite groups of the guilds were invited to the Cliff State, the Cliff State would definitely be exposed to the world.
If there was no army to guard the Cliff State, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't act rashly.
Ouyang Shuo also hoped to use the adventurous players to clear the wild beasts outside the territory. At the same time, the arrival of the players could also boost the territory's economy.
Therefore, this was a win-win cooperation, and everyone would take what they needed.
The 200,000 gold coins that Bing'er drew seemed to be a lot, but it wasn't a limit for a city to spend.
Not to mention other things, just the military food supply of the Cliff Mountain City for half a year was a large sum.
The price of food in the market was basically stable at 12 copper coins per unit.
The 27000 soldiers of the Tiger Army, plus the warhorses, consumed an average of 100,000 units of food every day.
Theoretically, the climate conditions of Jingzhou Island could allow them to grow rice three times a year. Unfortunately, with the agricultural technology of ancient times, it was temporarily impossible to achieve.
Therefore, there were still more than three months until the first rice harvest in June.
In other words, they needed to prepare at least 10 million units of food. Including other food consumption, they needed to prepare 15000 gold coins just to buy food.
The military food was only a small part of the expenses. The construction of the territory and the expenses of the army were the main expenses.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo was always thinking about how to make money. (To be continued.)
