Chapter 673 What can we do in 48 hours?
“How is everyone doing?”
The moment the single message came through the guild channel, the mood in the guild hall changed. The previously drab and morose faces suddenly brightened up as if a gust of fresh air had been blown into the room.
“Guild Leader!”
“Boss Liam!”
“Big Boss!”
All the players immediately started greeting Liam, one after the other. Seeing this, Alex quickly raised her hand. “That’s enough. We don’t know how much time he has, so let’s not waste it. Anyone typing in any unnecessary bullshit will be kicked out of their rank without exception.”
The red-haired beauty had menacing eyes, which meant that she was serious, so even Mei Mei did not dare type in the guild channel. Only Alex sent a message explaining the main problem they were facing currently.
On the opposite end, Liam also wore a thoughtful expression. “Hitting the maximum limit, huh? That is indeed worrisome.” He mumbled to himself as this was not a situation he was also familiar with.
Something like this had never happened in his last life as two behemoths never clashed, but now it was different. This was a fight between an S-Rank guild and an S-Rank guild, so this situation was very much possible.
“Am I overthinking this?” Alex asked, to which Liam responded with a big ‘No.’
She was indeed correct in identifying this loophole. He could also see it. In fact, it was plainly obvious if one looked at it from a different point of view.
The guild had suddenly upgraded to an S-Rank guild, the secret of which shouldn’t be out just yet unless one of the previous existing S-Rank guilds decided to share it. In this case, it almost seemed as if two S-Rank guilds were putting their resources together to take down Crimson Abyss.
Not to mention the recent Gu family guild, Jade Mountain’s dissolution. Several players would have been freed up from this, and chances were that ‘Dragons of Justice’ could have secretly put some effort into recruiting these players.
When he went against the currents and took out a huge post-apocalyptic player overnight, Liam had already expected that there would be some consequences. Maybe this was it?
Since he bulldozed the Gu family to the ground, now fate wants to return that favor?
Liam chuckled. This was indeed a troublesome situation that could have crippled any other guild, but it would not be so easy to bring his guild down.
After all, he had something that the other guilds did not have, knowledge about the future and also a lot of knowledge about this game.
And unfortunately for them, the other party had issued the challenge a little too quickly. The appearance of three S-Rank guilds finally triggered the guild war feature of the game, but they should not have challenged them immediately afterward.
They should have made themselves well aware of the different war zones first and studied a few strategies. This one slip-up was going to be quite expensive.
Two S-Rank guilds might not have clashed with each other in his previous life but several A-Rank guilds have clashed with each other. After this can of worms was opened, this was very common.
And one particular war that was very famous was the one between Assasin’s guild and a guild from the Empire, the Solar Flares.
Solar Flares was an established guild that was almost close to becoming an S-Rank guild while the Assasin’s guild was still struggling to maintain its A-Rank. Their member numbers were also likewise, the entire battle extremely one-sided.
However, in the war that ensued between the two guilds, the Assasin’s guild was the inevitable winner and this was not because of any secret weapons or special loopholes. It was because of the war zone they had selected.
And for this battle, Liam was planning on using the same war zone.
“Everyone, we will be using the Flag capture war zone for this guild battle. Keep this a secret and, of course, take your time to properly study the war zone. I will inform you of the final strategy soon.” Liam sent the message in the guild chat.
At the same time, he also privately messaged Alex, outlining the full strategy. The redhead’s eyes widened as she noticed how brilliant the plan was. With this, even if the opposition hit the maximum limit in the number of players, they still won’t be able to do anything.
“Our victory this time should be so overpowering that no other guild should ever challenge us again. I am counting on you.”
With Liam here, everyone’s spirits were roused again, but surprisingly, Alex dismissed the meeting very fast.
“Everyone just do your best and continue leveling and improving your skills. Some of you will get direct messages from me, so keep an eye out for that.”
After that, she finally sat down and started taking notes, listing out all the questions she had for him one after the other.
“Liam, is there any way we can obtain more followers? What about the ones in the nether realm?”
This was the first question because she had heard about a demon who had helped the group escape once in the nether realm. If they could somehow bring them here, they could surely win this war.
However, once again there was only a big ‘No’.
“I cannot bring those guys here. It is not possible for them to use my portal, and they won’t be considered part of the guild if they are not here.”
“That’s too bad. What else can we do in 48 hours?” Alex sighed, but quickly another reply came in.
“A lot. For example, I do know of a way you can get a follower,” Liam answered.
Alex was immediately all ears. Other than a kickass mount, this was also something that she wanted.
“Did you increase your reputation with the divine temple like I asked you to?”
“Yes! Yes!”
“Then get moving. You have some work to do.”
