Chapter 386: Chapter 255: The Era of Great Pirates! _2

It can be said that the Ghost Captain contributed at least 30% to the entire Arcane Tower server-wide quest, far surpassing others. It is reasonable in both sentiment and reason for him to set the assembly point for the City of Dawn.

The two sides began to quarrel in two forum threads. One side argued all the way from the historical establishment of the Divine Mandate to the impressive deeds of the Son of Heaven, citing his extraordinary leadership and suitability to be the City Lord of the first city.

The other side scoffed at this, dismissing it as if the Son of Heaven alone were responsible for the conquest of the two Arcane Towers, completely ignoring the efforts of other numerous players. This exposed the hypocrisy of the Son of Heaven and the Divine Mandate organization. Their proposal to assemble in Europe was nothing more than a wolfish ambition to seize the interests of other fragment owners without a sweat.

Among them, an ID named ’End of July’ was the most prominent.

’End of July’, who claimed to be an insider, leaked publicly in the Son of Heaven’s thread that the Divine Mandate had actually gathered three fragments, found the location of Dawn City’s entrance, and was using the summoning order to trick other fragment owners in order to seize the City Lord’s position unnoticed.

This statement immediately sparked considerable controversy.

Numerous European and American players challenged ’End of July’, questioning the source of the information and demanded evidence or else it was considered defamation.

The evidence was nowhere to be found. However, ’End of July’ was adamant that this matter was factual. The message behind his words was: believe it or not, it’s up to you!

Such a rowdy behavior naturally attracted vehement criticisms from European and American players. However, ’End of July’ was no ordinary person, quickly starting a flaming war in the forum thread.

This back and forth was not high-quality, but it was voluminous, exemplifying the essence of irrelevant argumentation where he would reply ten sentences for each one sentence of criticism he received.

In this way, ’End of July’ managed to hold his own on the international forum, stunning even the local players who were preparing to back him. What a talent!

Although the Son of Heaven himself later appeared in the thread, pleading his innocence, insisting that he only had two fragments, and that the summoning order was purely intended to bring forward Sky City as quickly as possible to provide a landing spot for those who failed in the tower, without any fraudulent intentions!

But no matter how plausible his words were, once the seed of doubt was planted, it could not be fully uprooted.

Whether it was true or not, all fragment owners would at least consider this possibility.

Given these considerations, the rules set by the Ghost Captain appear more fair: meeting in the Star Spirit World, specifically in the unique safe zone of Turtle Island.

Those who are reasonably familiar with the sea area would know that this place is the Octopus King’s territory, not beholden to any player’s home field, greatly decreasing the chance of being deceived and harmed by others.

The stance of the Ghost Captain is very clear, after the fragments are assembled, the City Lord’s position can be contested by strength. Regardless of what methods are employed, if you can’t win, it just means someone else was better. At least all these conditions are transparent, far more preferable than being stabbed in the back and even paying on top of it.

Given these considerations, the originally balanced debate between the two sides gradually started leaning towards the Ghost Captain.

At this moment, in a city in Europe, inside a resplendent hall.

Only three people sat in the grand meeting hall, communicating softly in English.

These three were the President of the Divine Mandate, King (Emperor), and two Vice Presidents, Demon and Smile. Any one of them was a famous top player in Europe.

"The Ghost Captain specifically pointed out that we should meet on Naxx Island... Could it be that he already knows that the entrance to Dawn City is in the Evil Spirit Sea Area?" Smile looked at the information on his phone, casting a suspicious glance at the two.

"Impossible!" Demon immediately shook his head, with conviction in his voice. "One and nine are in our hands, these are the only two fragments that can show the entrance. Others can’t possibly know!"

"Then why did the other party specifically choose Turtle Island?" Smile shrugged.

"You have to know, the other side has a Ghost Ship. It would naturally have the upper hand fighting at sea. And as for places in the sea area suitable for meeting with strangers, the Turtle Island under the Octopus King’s control is definitely one of the most suitable places. If I had to choose, I’d probably choose there too!" Demon said.

"So what you’re saying is, the opponent’s choice to designate Turtle Island is simply a coincidence?" Smile asked.

"This..." Demon was not quite sure himself.

The two of them eventually turned their gazes toward the blond youth sitting in the main seat.

"Whether it’s a coincidence or not the result is the same, let’s assume that the other side already knows this information." Son of Heaven said.

"What should we do now? Should we abandon Dawn City and change our target?" Demon frowned, looking at the posts showing on his cell phone. The number of supporters for the other side’s thread was slowly starting to outnumber theirs.

However, even if the opinions of the casual netizens were overwhelmingly one-sided, it didn’t matter. The final decision on how to proceed would be determined by the several fragment owners.
