(PS: 3800-word chapter, rolling on the ground, asking for recommendation votes: -d)
The "eyes" that the Star Alliance had placed in [A Thread] didn't stay excited for long.
Love Thread then announced a piece of news in the guild channel.
"In view of the current situation of the guild, I have decided to allow members to freely leave the guild, become loners, or join other guilds. Everything is free, and the guild will no longer interfere."
As soon as Love Thread's voice fell, the guild channel was already in an uproar.
The 110,000 guild members were gradually divided into two factions.
One of them was the doer. After listening to Love Thread's words, they chose to leave the guild without saying a word. Since the leader had admitted defeat, what were they still doing in the guild? There was no future in staying.
Instead of that, it was better to part on good terms.
As skilled talents, the members of [A Thread] did not have to worry about not being able to find another guild.
Of course, there were also some members who were tired of the deceit of the guild and chose to be loners, running a shop in the Royal City, making money while improving their skills. It was also a good choice.
The other faction was the loyal faction. They spoke in the guild channel to persuade Love Thread to stay.
"Leader, don't, we can't leave [A Thread]."
"Yes, [A Thread] is our home, we don't want to leave!!!"
"Leader, [A Thread] was built by us with hard work, we can't disband!"
"Leader, leader, come out and say something!"
"[A Thread] disbanded, what should we do!"
Some members fell into a state of panic and helplessness, like wolf cubs abandoned by their mother.
Love Thread's mood at this moment was also unusually complicated.
On one hand, there was a burst of members proposing to leave the guild in her ears. In less than two minutes, thousands of people had left the guild, and it was getting more and more intense.
On the other hand, there was the bitter pleading of the members. The members' persuasion to stay let Love Thread know that there were still loyal people in the guild, and they still had feelings for the guild.
Even so, Love Thread had to harden her heart and continue this cruel test.
Love Thread spoke again in the guild channel, "[A Thread] will not disband, but will never be merged by any guild. Even so, if you still want to stay, I have nothing to say. "
As soon as he said that, some of the so-called "loyal members" began to waver.
After this upheaval, [A Thread]'s fall from the top ten guilds was basically a done deal. If they didn't accept the merger, it was easy to imagine the guild's future.
Because of this, the players who still had a glimmer of hope chose to leave the guild.
The wave of withdrawing from the guild was getting more and more intense.
It started from the outer members, to the elite members, and finally to the core members.
Seeing this, a trace of sorrow flashed through the Knot of Love's eyes. In particular, the withdrawal of the core members was the biggest blow to her. These people were her brothers and sisters who had fought alongside her for many years and had played several games together.
Who would have thought that they would still choose to leave at such a crucial moment?
The benefits involved in "Earth On Le" were too great. The purpose of players playing the game was no longer simple. There were too many entanglements of interests, and the loyalty of the players was naturally a huge test.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
The Love Thread Link suddenly felt a sense of relief. Hopefully, after this turmoil, "A Thread" could be reborn in Cliff State.
In just one afternoon, the number of "A Thread" members who had left the guild had reached more than 40,000, almost halved. Some of those who had not yet left the guild were not all loyal members. They were just exchanging for the guild's resources.
Before leaving the guild, the members would basically spend all of their guild points.
For a time, in the guild warehouse of "A Thread", all kinds of materials that had been piled up like a mountain began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the leader of the guild, the Knot of Love could prohibit members from exchanging, but she did not do so. After all, the points of the members were saved by them. Even if they wanted to leave the guild, they still had the right to exchange for them.
The next plot was completely beyond the expectations of the "Eyes". Their excited expressions suddenly froze. They could only smile bitterly while passing on the latest information to their superiors.
Learning that a large number of "A Thread" members had left the guild, the guilds in the capital were in an uproar.
Originally, with the joint intervention of "Sword Energy" and "Star Alliance," the other guilds had already given up on the idea. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?
Since "A Thread" refused to be merged, the members who had left the guild would no longer belong to any guild. How many people they could rope in depended on their own abilities.
The major guilds were dispatched one after another, working hard to rope in the members of "A Thread" who had left the guild.
In the beginning, they still went to contact them one by one.
Later on, the major guilds simply set up recruitment points at the entrance of the headquarters of "A Thread".
As soon as the members of "A Thread" left the guild, packed their luggage, and walked out of the guild station, they were stopped by a group of "personnel managers" of the guild and invited them to join the guild.
The scene was extremely lively.
Some guilds even fought each other on the streets, exchanging punches and kicks for the sake of competing for members.
PK was prohibited in the capital. Otherwise, once they were caught by the constables of Six Doors, they would be imprisoned. They were not [Bloodshed], who could run away by himself.
These guilds were all registered in the capital, and Six Doors could catch them easily.
Therefore, they could only fight a war of words. At most, they would fight with fists and feet. Even if the constables of Six Doors arrived, as long as it was not a fight, it could be explained as a "warm-up exercise".
Not only the headquarters of "A Thread", but the residences of the ten major branches were also the same. Surrounding the entrance of the headquarters were all big guilds. Surrounding the residences of the branches were a mix of large and medium-sized guilds.
As for the small guilds, their temples were too small, and the members of "A Thread" would never consider joining them.
Among them, there was even the figure of "Crisscrossing Sword Aura".
Since "Star Alliance" could not take down "A Thread", "One Sword from the West" naturally did not have to worry about anything. He quietly made a fortune and instructed the guild personnel manager to start recruiting a large number of "A Thread" members.
Such a lively scene even alarmed the other Royal Cities. "Baleful Blood Mercenary Corps", "Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud", "Flowing Light Pavilion", and other guilds heard the news and came one after another, sending people directly to the capital to recruit people.
Such a scene was really like a gluttonous banquet.
"A Thread", which was once one of the top ten guilds, was the only main dish at the banquet.
In the banquet, the most annoyed person was none other than Dust of Stars.
When he received the first piece of information, Dust of Stars was still proud of himself. He was proud that he had achieved a complete victory in his first battle. In this way, it was a strong counterattack to the opposition of his family.
When he received the information from the next day, Dust of Stars did not feel good in his heart.
Suddenly, he fell from the clouds to the abyss.
Dust of Stars was so angry that he cursed, "B * tch! You'd rather disband yourself than submit to me. "
Dust of Stars completely bore a grudge against the instigator of the "Love Thread".
Since when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!
Dust of Stars was so angry that he was about to lose his mind. He was about to arrange for people to take revenge on "A Thread".
Fortunately, there were still capable people in the "Star Alliance".
At the critical moment, the military advisor of the "Star Alliance" stood up and said, "Alliance Master, there will be opportunities in the future to concoct the" Love Thread ". The most important thing now is to try to rope in the members of" A Thread "."
When Dust of Stars heard this, his anger temporarily dissipated. He patted the shoulder of the military advisor and said approvingly, "Not bad, your reminder is right. I'll leave this matter to you. "
"Thank you, Alliance Master!"
The military advisor turned around and retreated, beginning to join the feast.
This gluttonous feast lasted until the afternoon of the next day before it came to an end.
As of 4: 00 p.m. on March 30th, "A Thread", which had 110,000 members, was left with less than 10,000 members who were willing to follow the "Love Thread" and continue to run the guild.
Faced with such a scene, the "Love Thread" was truly heartbroken.
When she promised Ouyang Shuo to conduct a test on the guild, the "Love Thread" could predict that a large number of members would leave the guild. However, she completely did not expect that more than 90% of the members would leave the guild.
The "Love Thread" could not help but wonder if she was a failure as a leader.
Up until now, those who could stay in "A Thread" were all die-hard members of the guild. Even those "eyes" had basically completely retreated.
Only the "Star Alliance" still had an eye in "A Thread". Needless to say, the reason was that Dust of Stars harbored hatred in his heart and was ready to take revenge on the "Love Thread" at any time.
During this feast, the "Star Alliance" recruited less than 3,000 members. On the contrary, the "Unstoppable Sword Aura" recruited nearly 10,000 members, which was enough to establish a pure professional guild branch.
All the guilds in the capital, big and small, had a share.
The top 10 guilds in the capital also reaped a lot of benefits. The "Baleful Blood Mercenary Group" alone recruited more than 5,000 members, which was more than the "Star Alliance", the local tyrant.
The influence of the "Star Alliance" was obviously not as great as Dust of Stars had imagined. How could Dust of Stars not be angry at the huge difference between 3,000 and 110,000?
He had already decided to take revenge on "A Thread" and make it impossible for him to establish a foothold in the capital.
The three guilds of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas also joined the feast.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he did not say anything. He was the leader of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas, but he would not easily interfere with the internal decisions of the members, which was a great taboo.
At 5: 00 p.m., the "Love Thread" did a rough calculation. Among the 10,000 members, there were about 3,000 left in the main guild, which was the lowest number of people who left the guild.
After receiving the calculation results, the "Love Thread" finally felt a little gratified.
At least the main guild that she had painstakingly built was basically trustworthy. Among the hundreds of core members, at least half of them stayed.
The top 10 branches were a little miserable. The largest one only had 1,000 members left, and most of them had dropped below 1,000. One or two newly established branches were almost all gone, and only a few people were left.
Helpless, the "Love Thread" could only gather all the members in the main guild. As for the top 10 branches, they were just empty shells.
The "Love Thread" sorted out her emotions and began to speak in the guild channel.
"Everyone, I'm the" Love Thread "!"
The same words sounded in the guild channel, but the meaning was very different.
The upheaval that the guild had experienced made the 10,000 diehard members panic.
This was "A Thread"'s weakest moment, and it was also "strongest" moment. The members who stayed became incomparably united. Only by being united could they get through this "cold winter".
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. At the critical moment, I saw everyone's loyalty, which moved me. Now, I want to announce that the headquarters of "A Thread" will be moved to Cliff Mountain City. "
"Cliff Mountain City?"
"Cliff Mountain City is a city built on Jingzhou Island by the number one Lord of China, Who Has No Clothes. That place will be the nirvana of "A Thread". If you don't want to leave the capital, you can still leave now. I won't force you. "
The "Love Thread" didn't explain too much about Cliff Mountain City. Even so, the golden signboard of "Who Has No Clothes" still let the members see a trace of sunshine in the cold winter.
Hearing this, only a few members, because they didn't want to leave the capital, chose to leave the guild. For these members, the "Love Thread" prepared a generous severance package for them.
After all, they had withstood the test and deserved to be rewarded.
The materials in the guild warehouse were only a small part of "A Thread"'s assets. After all, those materials were some ordinary materials, and the rare materials had long been put away by the "Love Thread".
The really valuable assets of "A Thread" were the various industries that the guild had purchased in the capital, including hundreds of workshops and 50 to 60 shops.
Some of the shops were even in the prosperous areas of the capital.
These properties were all accumulated by [A Thread] through hard work over the past year, living frugally and living frugally. The purpose was to provide a platform for the members to hone their skills, and it was also the guild's main source of income.
The finished products processed by the members were all sold through the shops.
These precious industries were sold out by the "Love Thread" in one day.
The only thing that was preserved was the headquarters' courtyard. First, the "Love Thread" wanted to keep it as a memento. Second, they left an industry in the capital, so that in the future, when the members of "A Thread" returned to the capital to work, they would also have a place to stay.
Even the empty shells of the ten branches were resold by the "Love Thread" to other guilds.
In total, the "Love Thread" had collected a total of 160,000 gold coins. This capital was the capital for "A Thread" to make a comeback in Cliff Mountain City. (To be continued.)
