Chapter 585: Chapter 13 Key Figures_2

The participants of the battle looked at the points they had earned and thought about the treasures in the Immortal Treasure Vault, their morale once again soaring.

Seeking wealth within danger, as long as they could obtain the final reward, the battle would not have been fought in vain.

"Tomorrow, we’ll launch straight into a guild battle; I want to see if the Azure Dragon Association dares to come and court death."

"Exactly, if they dare to come, let’s wipe them all out; it’s much more lucrative than fighting a BOSS."

"We should have started with a guild battle today; that way, we would’ve looted a bunch of good stuff from the enemies we killed."

The crowd discussed excitedly while retreating back to the city.

——————

In stark contrast to Dragon Soaring’s high spirits, the Azure Dragon Association was shrouded in gloomy clouds of despair.

"Sorry, President Zhao, I didn’t do well this battle." Zhao Kai led the remaining troops as they fled back to Xuelan Town and exited the game, speaking helplessly.

Yet Zhao Qingyun shook his head, "It’s not your fault; the main issue is that the enemy was too strong, especially that Hidden Moon Following Wind... without him, Ah Gui would have definitely been able to take out their assassin group, and then we could have used the assassins’ advantage in assassination to break the enemy one by one in the fog... Hidden Moon Following Wind, has anyone heard this name before? Where did such an expert appear from?"

As he spoke, his gaze casually landed on Liu Qiang, whose face noticeably changed color, yet he remained silent.

Liu Qiang knows Hidden Moon Following Wind! He thought to himself.

"President, I think I’ve heard the name Hidden Moon Following Wind." Ah Fu suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? Where did you hear it?" Zhao Qingyun initially only wanted to see Liu Qiang’s reaction, but did not expect to actually learn something.

"When we were recruiting vassal guilds, there was a World Association that almost joined; we had nearly settled on the price when the boss of World Association got killed, leading to its dissolution. At that time, the intelligence group mentioned that Xiong Ba seemed to be killed by someone named Hidden Moon Following Wind."

Zhao Qingyun did indeed remember this Xiong Ba; mainly because the name was quite prominent. Back then, due to a shortage of manpower, Azure Dragon Association had splurged money to woo many small guilds to become vassals, and this person was one who actively requested to join.

"Right, President, there was a video at that time, posted on an independent forum."

"Find it, let the game expert group take a good look at his abilities, especially that screen-freezing Big Move; we must find a way to counter it, otherwise, we’ll still be troubled if we encounter him again."

Ah Gui strongly agreed with this. The screen-freeze kill was just too much of a bug, and even now, he was still frightened.

After Zhao Qingyun arranged things for the Azure Dragon Association, he pulled together the presidents of several vassal guilds into a group chat for a meeting.

This time they had suffered heavy losses, and the vassal guilds had lost many elite players, so naturally there had to be some compensation. The initial agreement was that participation in the Azure Dragon Association’s activities would be paid, and death during combat would be compensated for with a pension.

These gamers were all in high-salary professions; after all, even grinding in the game wasn’t insufficiently lucrative, let alone following Azure Dragon Association through life and death scenarios – the pay couldn’t be too low.

Moreover, these small guild presidents were somewhat like contractors; not all the money they received was distributed to their subordinates, since they always took a cut, thus they were always very attentive when it came to financial matters.

As expected, once they entered the chat room, the guild presidents began complaining one after another.

"President Zhao, we can’t go on like this. There’s a lot of grumbling among the brothers in the guild. Dragon Soaring is not easy to provoke; fighting this kind of war is completely a losing deal."

"Yes, in this battle, our Money Gang lost a general, Ye Xiaoyao was my brother...not biologically, but we’ve faced life and death together, closer than real brothers. You’ve got to give me an explanation."

"Exactly, just as we had agreed! There’s a commission for fighting a war, and compensation for those killed. This time, three from our Wind Clan fell, the money must be paid in full, otherwise, the team morale will disperse."

Listening to everyone’s passionate speeches, Zhao Qingyun sneered inwardly - all this talk was just for the sake of money.

"Hehe, gentlemen, no need to be so agitated. What war has no casualties? Don’t worry, you won’t lose money. According to our agreement, we’ll provide compensation based on level, the higher the level, the more money. I will arrange the payment now.

As for the profit, you do not need to worry about that. Today was just a probe, the enemy is now self-satisfied from winning a round. Tomorrow’s battle, I will surely play my strongest card and will be able to win. Once the guild battle starts, the enemy’s equipment will be up for grabs, and we’ll earn back everything."

Zhao Qingyun spoke with confidence, but the guild presidents were not quite convinced.

They had all been following today’s battle as it happened, and the core members of the opponent were evidently beyond their level. The Azure Dragon Association had lost a lot due to the Dragon Slayer Team being wiped out a few months ago, leaving only about a dozen at level 30, far from the opponent’s caliber.

A small guild president suddenly uttered with a sigh: "President Zhao, share your plan with us, your empty promises require us to risk our lives; without knowing the details, we’re all uneasy."

"My plan will decide the key to victory in tomorrow’s battle. How can I reveal such crucial information so easily? If it were to leak to Dragon Soaring, that would be bad."

Liu Qiang suddenly spoke up: "President Zhao’s concerns make sense, but if you do not reveal even a hint of your plan, it’s indeed hard for us to be at ease. How about this, tell me your plan, if I feel assured, naturally it will set everybody else at ease too. Don’t you agree?"
