Chapter 571: Chapter 5: If You Want to Fight, Then We’ll Fight

Xiao Jie watched Feng Buqi’s retreating figure and let out a sigh for some unknown reason.

Feng Buqi has his own answers to seek, and I have my own revenge to complete.

Everyone has their own obsessions...

At this moment, a private message suddenly flashed across the message bar.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: Brother Sui Feng, the intelligence team has returned, hurry up and join the meeting.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Received.

A few minutes later, Xiao Jie returned to the tavern and as he entered, he saw Long Xingtianxia briefing everyone on the intelligence gathered by the intelligence team.

Xiao Jie found a chair to sit down on and listened quietly.

"The main force of the Azure Dragon Association is currently gathered in Xuelan Town, roughly over a hundred people. In addition, the Xuelan Town sea has gathered six or seven small guilds, totaling over three hundred people."

Someone asked in surprise, "Guild leader? Where do these small guilds come from?"

"They are probably vassal forces of the Azure Dragon Association. Our informants noticed that their guild leaders are all following the Azure Dragon Association’s people."

Xiao Jie suddenly remembered a past event. When he had a falling out with the World Association, he heard rumors that the leader of the World Association seemed to have been associated with the Azure Dragon Association.

It seems that the Azure Dragon Association’s solicitation of small guilds had started a long time ago.

In such a case, when I eliminated Xiong Ba earlier, it was like removing an enemy force in advance.

Another person voiced their confusion, "So the Azure Dragon Association is playing a mercenary model? Recruiting many affiliated guilds besides their core forces? But that doesn’t make sense. Recruiting these vassal guilds must cost a substantial sum of money. With such financial resources, why don’t they just directly recruit everyone into their own guild? It’s much better to have direct subordinates."

"On this point, I have received some internal intelligence. It’s said that the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Association is located abroad, somewhat similar to the industrial park model in Northern Myanmar. The members are professional players who were lured there with high salaries. Because it is direct management, their execution is very strong, and they fight fiercely without fear of death. Ordinary guilds dare not engage with the Azure Dragon Association.

However, this approach has a problem – the number of people is limited by activation codes, so it cannot be too many. Therefore, they can only recruit some vassal guilds to serve as cannon fodder."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, "Damn, that’s so dark? Is there any hope of flipping those Azure Dragon Association players?"

"It’s impossible. They are all confined together. If anyone dares to rebel in the game, they’ll be taken care of in reality, they definitely won’t, and they will fight to the death, probably even more problematic than normal players."

Xiao Jie suddenly said, "Since our people are able to scout their situation, then tell me, do you think the Azure Dragon Association might also have arranged people to scout our situation?"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent. Beiming State is the Azure Dragon Association’s stomping ground. While it’s not like the Dragon Soaring Knights with a division established in every town, there definitely are more eyes around, and perhaps outside, there might indeed be Azure Dragon Association spies.

Long Xingtianxia laughed and said, "Heh, it’s not just possible, but a certainty. They probably knew we entered Beiming State’s map for such a long duration of time; spies must have already been in place."

"What should we do then, guild leader? Should we drive out all the players in town?"

"There’s no need. The whole Qiansong Town is so big, it’s difficult to find all the Azure Dragon Association spies if they want to hide. Besides, our target this time is Dragon Slayer, and it’s not necessarily a must to fight with the other side. It’s better to find the people and talk directly to them. If it can be peacefully resolved, that’s naturally for the best.

Si Hai, Dragon Roar, Hidden Dragon, Kuang Long, each of you take a team, follow our previous plan, and start."

Moments later, the generals of the Dragon Soaring Knights swiftly took action. Outside the four gates of Qiansong Town, a team of knights appeared at each, moving shoulder to shoulder, slowly advancing, driving the players on the street towards the town center’s square.

The players on the streets immediately became anxious, but surrounded by hundreds of players, they could only retreat slowly.

It didn’t take long for almost all to be driven onto the square.

Long Xingtianxia walked to the balcony of the tavern and looked down at the hundreds of uneasy local players on the square and spoke loudly, "I know there are spies from the Azure Dragon Association among you. I don’t mean anything else; I just want to talk to your boss, Zhao Qingyun. Since you are here, why not come out and chat?"

After his words, a few minutes passed, and sure enough, a Level 17 Ranger walked out from the crowd.

The voice was somewhat tense, saying, "Our boss said we can talk."

After a few seconds, another completely different voice came out from the microphone.

"I am Zhao Qingyun, guild leader of Long Xingtianxia. I wonder what would you like to discuss with me?"

"Let’s be frank, we are here for White Dragon, and I suppose you have also received the same intelligence. Clearly, someone behind the scenes is plotting to make our two sides hostile, so I think it’s natural not to let the manipulator behind succeed. So how about we resolve this peacefully?

We are determined to have this dragon. Why don’t you name a price, consider it as me compensating for your intelligence expense. After all, this world has plenty of dragons, as long as there is money, I’m not afraid I can’t buy related intelligence."

"Heh, that’s some big talk from the guild leader of Long Xingtianxia, to claim an exclusive buyout. Well then, I will name a price—one hundred million."

"One hundred million in cash... according to the current gold price, that would be six thousand taels. Brother Qingyun, you really do open your mouth wide like a lion."

"No, what I said was one hundred million taels of silver."
