Chapter 572: Chapter 5: If You Want to Fight, Then We’ll Fight_2

As these words were spoken, Xiao Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He had genuinely feared that if both sides agreed to negotiate, his grudge with Liu Qiang would be postponed yet again.

Now it was clear that the other party had no interest in talking, and it seemed a fight was inevitable.

However, he couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. Were they really that arrogant?

The voice of the leader of Dragon Soaring Knights, Long Xingtianxia, took on a serious tone, "So there’s nothing to discuss?"

Zhao Qingyun’s voice sounded very calm, "Of course there’s nothing to discuss. Though the Nine States are vast, only one can unify them all, and that person is me, Zhao Qingyun. If President Long of the World Association wants to stand in my way, then I don’t mind giving you a lesson in self-awareness.

Of course, if President Long is willing to submit to my Azure Dragon Association, I would warmly welcome you. Once I’ve conquered the world, I could make you a State Governor, which wouldn’t be too bad."

Speaking the most arrogant words in the calmest tone, the people behind him suddenly burst into rage.

"Damn, this kid is way too arrogant."

"This guy must be crazy. Does he really think he’s Long Aotian?"

"I think it’s a provocation tactic, he’s trying to anger us... There must be a trick up his sleeve..."

The important figures behind Long Xingtianxia started to make a commotion.

Xiao Jie also found it strange. Logically speaking, everyone was in pursuit of their own interests, so negotiations were inevitable. Had Zhao Qingyun lost his mind?

Did he really believe that with just over a hundred people from the Azure Dragon Association plus a few vassal guilds, he could sweep across the world?

No, there had to be a reason for it.

"Heh, of course he’s not crazy," Long Xingtianxia suddenly said, seemingly picking up on something before falling silent again as if pondering something.

Suddenly, Xiao Jie had a realization. Instinctively, he thought of some theories from the Nameless Dao Scripture Human Dao Chapter - human hearts change, there is a path to everything, every cause has its effect.

All phenomena in human society are determined by human nature, and the level of perception determines the answers one can see.

Ordinary people might see Zhao Qingyun as brazen and extremely arrogant, but Xiao Jie didn’t see it that way.

If Zhao Qingyun wasn’t crazy, then he must have something to rely on, and if he had nothing to rely on, then he must have a plan—

"There are internal conflicts within the Azure Dragon Association!" Xiao Jie blurted out.

Long Xingtianxia looked at Xiao Jie with a bit of surprise, not expecting him to understand where the problem lay.

The others were completely in the dark, wondering how he came up with that connection.

However, Long Xingtianxia agreed, "Brother Sui Feng is right, when an organization cannot resolve its internal conflicts, it will try to transfer them externally. For example, if I were the President of the United States and both parties wanted to impeach me, what should I do at that time?"

Now the rest of them started to catch on.

"War?"

"Correct. Once war breaks out, I would be a wartime President, unable to be impeached. Moreover, if I win, I can naturally continue to hold office, and if I lose, it doesn’t matter, since I would have been removed anyhow, and I’d leave a mess for my successor.

Of course, this is just a possibility, and it doesn’t exclude that they could be so strong that they feel they can crush us, that’s why they are so arrogant."

"So what should we do?"

"Hmph, meet soldiers with generals and water with earth. If it comes to war, then let’s fight. When it comes to battle, are we, Dragon Soaring Knights, really afraid? We’re not just going to fight, we’re going to fight a large-scale battle. Tomorrow, let’s find a local guild administrator and launch a guild war against the Azure Dragon Association. I want to see if Zhao Qingyun dares to accept the challenge."

Once a guild war is launched, the two fighting parties are not subject to criminal punishment restrictions; killing will not result in a red name.

Moreover, killing members of the opposing guild is equivalent to killing red-name players; the equipment in their inventory and on their bodies will all drop.

If it comes to that, it will be a fight to the death.

Once one side gains the upper hand, they will surely annihilate the other.

The intensity of the battle will skyrocket.

Considering the unique nature of this game, no guild war has occurred so far. After all, everyone is here to pursue their interests; there’s no need for a deadly confrontation.

At this moment, hearing Zhao Qinglong mention initiating a guild war, everyone was shocked.

For a while, all fell silent in contemplation, except for one who was exceptionally excited.

Ba Tian Kuanglong laughed heartily: "That’s right, Boss. When the time comes, let’s blast all those losers from the Azure Dragon Association, the loot drop will be even more thrilling than fighting a BOSS."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was somewhat anxious: "But Boss, this will probably result in a lot of deaths."

"What kind of gaming is it if no one dies? The greater the benefit, the higher the risk, and vice versa. Besides, they’re about to stomp all over us. If we don’t show them our colors, how can we, the Dragon Soaring Knights, continue to mix in this world?"

Listen to Dragon Roar also spoke up: "This time I stand with Kuang Long. We can’t tolerate this. Besides, our Generals are unmatched in group wilderness combat. As long as we set up our formation properly, those ragtag foes don’t stand a chance."

The senior members all expressed their opinions, with the majority leaning towards starting the war, mainly because Zhao Qingyun’s words had indeed provoked too much animosity.

"Brother Sui Feng, what do you think?"

"I agree to go to war." Xiao Jie didn’t say much. He and Liu Qiang’s grudge was well known in Dragon-shaped World, so it wasn’t convenient for him to shout about killing. Right now, silent support would suffice.

"Good, but before we go to war, we have another task at hand. We need to deploy a reconnaissance team to investigate whether the White Dragon truly exists and whether its condition is as weakened as the intelligence suggests. Otherwise, if the intelligence is flawed, and we rashly go to war over false information, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Additionally, we must investigate the terrain and environment of Luoxue Valley. If both sides were to engage in battle, it would most likely take place there.

We must thoroughly understand the terrain.

Even though I also feel that we have the advantage in military strength and a greater chance of winning, remember—military affairs are of vital importance to the state; they are the ground of life and death, the path of survival or ruin. Therefore, they must not be neglected.

This guild war is almost like a real war; we must be absolutely certain before we bet everything on it. The lives of over three hundred brothers in the guild cannot be put at risk lightly.

The reconnaissance team need not be large, three to five top Qinggong experts will suffice. The other side will likely send scouts as well, so just in case, we must arrange a response team on the Outer Circle. The number in the response team can be larger...

This mission is extremely dangerous. The Azure Dragon Association is likely prepared for war as well. Should we encounter any of their members, conflict might erupt.

Thus, those involved in the reconnaissance mission will receive 30 points, those in the response team will get 10 points, and in case of conflict, each enemy killed will earn points according to their Level.

All points will be cumulative and count towards the final bidding on the White Dragon’s loot.

Who is willing to take on the reconnaissance mission? Or join the response team?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone immediately became eager.

Although the White Dragon’s loot was good, there was no way there could be too much of it. A BOSS’s drop was at least three items, and at most five or six. Even when combined with the treasures from the Immortal Treasure Vault, the probability of top-notch items would not exceed ten. Therefore, to become a major beneficiary and secure Top-Grade Equipment, one must be involved from the beginning and accumulate merit points.

However, Long Xingtianxia’s warning was also correct. Just as they had thought of sending scouts, the Azure Dragon Association would have considered the same.

Should they actually meet, it could very well lead to a fight. Although the overall strength of the Azure Dragon Association was ordinary, it was said that each core member was a top-level expert. Because it operated under a park mode, they could concentrate a large amount of resources on those experts.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, most people instantly dismissed the idea of mixing in just for points. In a conflict between top-level experts, one could easily lose their life.

"Count me in," Xiao Jie said without hesitation.
