"Who betrayed us?" Xiao Nianying asked.
Father Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the meeting hall. Everyone is waiting. You have to be mentally prepared." Without waiting for Xiao Nianying to ask, he got up and left.
The father and son arrived at the meeting hall. The core members of the [Xiao Alliance] were all present.
Xiao Nianying frowned and secretly said, "Are they trying to force us to abdicate?!"
Just as they sat down, someone started to make things difficult.
"Alliance Leader, 90,000 brothers lost their lives in this expedition. According to the compensation of 500 gold coins per person, the guild needs to come up with 45 million gold coins in a lump sum. Alliance Leader, please make a decision."
The person who spoke was the deputy alliance leader of the [Xiao Alliance], Luo Wuchen. He represented the interests of the small and medium-sized guilds that were merged into the [Xiao Alliance] after the guild qualification battle.
45 million gold coins was an astronomical figure. Even the rich Great Xia could not come up with such funds. However, the death compensation was signed in an agreement and could not be denied.
On the way back, Xiao Nianying had been thinking about how to solve this problem, but he still had no clue.
Faced with Luo Wuchen's questioning, Xiao Nianying was speechless. He said, "Take out the 5 million gold coins from the warehouse first. We can think of a way with the remaining funds."
Luo Wuchen asked, "5 million is only a fraction. It's less than 60 gold coins per person. I'm afraid the brothers who died in battle will not agree. Besides, if the funds are taken away, how can the guild operate? "
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xiao Nianying's face was gloomy. He already knew that Luo Wuchen did not come with good intentions.
Luo Wuchen said, "This matter is because Alliance Leader agreed to Di Chen and the rest's request. Now that the guild is in trouble, we should naturally seek compensation from Di Chen and the rest."
"That's right."
Luo Wuchen's words were unanimously supported by the other members.
Back when Xiao Nianying wanted to wade into these muddy waters, there were people in the [Xiao Alliance] who opposed it. Luo Wuchen was the most resolute one, but he was helpless.
After the previous guild crisis, the [Xiao Alliance] also underwent a shareholding reform. Xiao Nianying and the other Xiao family members held a total of 30% of the [Xiao Alliance]'s shares. Including the Xiao family's allies, the total shares exceeded 50%, so they had absolute say in the guild.
Now these allies were also beginning to be dissatisfied. If they could not come up with the compensation, the [Xiao Alliance] would only have bankruptcy. When the time came, [Gaia] would auction off the Xiao Alliance's assets to pay the compensation.
If they couldn't pay it off, the players who died could only blame their bad luck.
Xiao Nianying was forced into a corner, and could only say: "Then I'll communicate with [Yan Huang Alliance] first."
In this way, this forced abdication came to an end. However, Xiao Nianying was not relaxed at all. He was extremely clear that if he was unable to come up with a solution, it would be difficult for the Xiao family to gain a foothold in the guild.
The next day, Di Chen and the others replied that they were willing to pay a million gold coins as compensation.
When Luo Wuchen and the others heard this, they sneered and said, "Are you trying to get rid of beggars?"
A day passed, and the Xiao family was not indifferent. They thought of a few ways to remedy the situation, and Xiao Nianying told them.
The first option was to sell off the guild's inventory.
Besides the five million in cash, the Xiao Alliance had obtained many precious materials and equipment in the Underworld due to their Guild Guardian status.
If he sold it, he could earn at least seven million gold coins.
Secondly, lower the compensation standard appropriately.
In this expedition, the performance of the hundred thousand elites was really disappointing. There was not a trace of bravery, and they were the fastest to escape from the battlefield. They were not even as good as the Cloud City Territory's army.
With this kind of performance, even if they died, they were not worthy of the high compensation of five hundred gold coins. Xiao Nianying's idea was to lower the compensation standard to three hundred gold coins per person, saving eighteen million gold coins in one go.
The third option was to bring in a large guild.
With the Xiao Alliance's status as the Guardian Guild, there was no need to worry that no large guilds would be willing to join the Xiao Alliance. To join, they would naturally have to pay a joining fee, which would be at least five million gold coins.
This way, the Xiao Alliance's strength could be strengthened, and they could deal with the Purple Moon Alliance's provocations.
The fourth option was to collect donations internally.
This was the Xiao Alliance's moment of life and death, and the guild members should save themselves to avoid the fate of bankruptcy. It was recommended that every member donate at least ten gold coins, with no upper limit. With the Xiao Alliance's five hundred thousand members, even if the ninety thousand dead players were deducted, they would at least be able to raise five million gold coins.
In this way, there would only be a gap of four million gold coins left.
After listening to Xiao Nianying's solution, Luo Wuchen's eyes narrowed, and he said, "The Alliance Master's method is indeed good, but I have two questions, and I hope the Alliance Master can answer them."
"Speak!"
"First, according to the Alliance Master's plan, after this torment, not only will the guild's funds be depleted, even the guild's resources will be depleted, and the entire guild warehouse will be left with an empty shell. When that time comes, what will be used to equip the ninety thousand brothers who died in battle? The Alliance Master won't say that this is also their own fault, right? "
"This …"
Luo Wuchen continued, "Second, this expedition was the result of the Alliance Master's forceful promotion. Now that something has happened, and all the members have to bear the burden, do you think everyone will agree?"
Not to mention the forced donation, the guild's funds, warehouse, and resources were all public property, and if they were emptied, it would naturally harm the interests of all the members.
Bringing in a new guild would also dilute the shares of the members, so it was also a kind of interest violation.
"The Alliance Master has just returned, I'm afraid you don't know, with the establishment of the [Purple Moon Alliance], rumors have spread everywhere in the city, and the hearts of the people in the guild are not stable. Now that we are taking drastic measures, a big mess is in front of us, "Luo Wuchen added.
Hearing this, Xiao Nianying's face was extremely ugly.
The players were not fools, seeing that the guild might not even be able to protect the rights to guard the guild, why would they bear the burden together, and there were already people muttering that they wanted to disband.
Xiao Nianying said, "Since you don't think my plan is good, I want to hear your opinion."
Luo Wuchen was expressionless, and said, "As the saying goes, every debt has a debtor, and every person has to bear the responsibility. The Alliance Master can't escape the blame for the mess that the guild has made today, if we want to stabilize the hearts of the people in the guild, someone has to bear the responsibility, and not the ordinary members. "
Saying this, Luo Wuchen stood up, bowed to Xiao Nianying, and said, "I hope the Alliance Master will take the blame and resign, and lead the Xiao family members out of the [Xiao Alliance]."
Seeing this, the others stood up, bowed together, and said, "We hope the Alliance Master will take the blame and resign!"
This was the real way of forcing an abdication.
"You, all of you!" Xiao Nianying's face was pale, pointing at the people in the hall, he was extremely angry.
At this moment, a group of players appeared outside the yard, and said in unison, "We hope the Alliance Master will take the blame and resign!" The voice was like an avalanche, drowning Xiao Nianying.
Clearly, this was not a spur of the moment idea, but had been planned for a long time.
The guild members had been dissatisfied with the Xiao family for a long time!
Xiao Nianying's body trembled, and he tried his best to stabilize his body, and said coldly, "What if I don't agree?"
Luo Wuchen said, "Then we can only hold a shareholders' meeting, and dismiss the Alliance Master. At the same time, we have to apply to Gaia for arbitration, and let the Xiao family compensate us. I believe that God Gaia will definitely give us justice. "
When Xiao Nianying heard this, he looked at the Xiao family's allies, and seeing that they were all ignoring him, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the matter could not be continued, and if it continued, it would not be beneficial to him or the family.
"Forget it, I admit defeat!"
Xiao Nianying's expression was bleak, perhaps the moment he agreed to Di Chen's request, he was destined to suffer a tragic fate today. The Xiao family should return to seclusion, and be a reclusive family in peace!
After all, this wilderness was not their stage.
Soon, the Xiao family was "cleanly evicted" by Xiao Alliance, and even their shares were taken back to compensate for their losses. Luo Wuchen was not surprised, and was elected as the new Alliance Master.
With the Xiao family gone, the problem of Xiao Alliance was still unsolved. If the compensation problem could not be solved, Luo Wuchen's position as the Alliance Master would not be stable.
On the first day of his appointment, Luo Wuchen threw out a sensational news.
Facing the expectations of the guild members, Luo Wuchen smiled and said, "I have good news for everyone, Emperor Xia is willing to take over the shares left behind by the Xiao family, and help the guild to tide through this crisis."
"Emperor Xia, isn't he the enemy of our Xiao Alliance?"
Luo Wuchen shook his head and said, "The one who has a grudge with the Xia Kingdom is the Xiao family, the Yan Huang Alliance behind the Xiao family, and not us. Now that the Xiao family is gone, why would Emperor Xia care about us? "
Everyone heard this and looked at each other.
The smarter ones felt a chill in their hearts, and the way they looked at Luo Wuchen was different. They faintly felt that, from the beginning to the end, the drama within Xiao Alliance seemed to have the shadow of the Xia Kingdom.
What was the relationship between the new Alliance Master and the Xia Kingdom?!
They did not dare to think about it.
Luo Wuchen saw this, and continued, "Previously, why did Xiao Nianying urge us to attack the Xia Kingdom? Wasn't it because he was worried that the Xia Kingdom would make things difficult for us in the future? Once the Xia Kingdom takes over, all the hidden dangers will disappear. "
Everyone nodded, and this was true.
"Even if we agree with Emperor Xia's participation in the guild, how are we going to solve the current problem? Can Emperor Xia come up with the funds in one go?"
Currently, Xiao Alliance was at its weakest. With the departure of the Xiao family, the power gap left behind was naturally very coveted, and internal strife was inevitable.
Therefore, there were people who did not want to see Ouyang Shuo intervene in the matters of Xiao Alliance.
Luo Wuchen saw this, and secretly noted this person's name. He smiled and said, "What kind of person is Emperor Xia? Since he said that he is willing to take over, he naturally has a way to solve the current predicament."
"Of course, Emperor Xia is not a philanthropist, and it is impossible for him to come up with a huge amount of funds just for 30 shares. Fortunately, Emperor Xia said in advance that he is willing to return all the equipment dropped by the 90,000 fallen brothers."
When the Xia Kingdom's army cleaned up the battlefield, these equipment were basically kept. Those who died in the battle were all elite players, and naturally, their equipment was also of high quality. Each set was no less than one or two hundred gold coins, and some even more.
Therefore, this batch of equipment alone was worth tens of millions of gold coins.
When everyone heard this, they could not help but gasp. They were shocked by the generosity of the Xia Kingdom.
