Chapter 316 The Situation
Xiao Feng took off the game helmet and found a bump in his quilt beside his leg. Ling’s flawless face was hidden inside with a half of it exposed to the air. She looked like a Persian cat with her fabulous golden hair. Now she was crawling in the quilt, staring at the closed door of Xiao Feng’s room alertly.
“What are you doing?”
Xiao Feng got off his bed. While putting on his coat, he asked.
“I am catching the two shameless cheating cats!”
Ling mumbled in an unfriendly tone with her eyes fixed on the door of the room.
Speechless, Xiao Feng wondered who looked more like a cat now.
He didn’t want to respond to her. Xiao Feng washed himself quickly and went downstairs for having breakfast. Yet, Ling harvested nothing after ambushing for the whole morning. She didn’t get to see Liu Qiangwei and Si Yejing in Xiao Feng’s room. Neither did she see them during breakfast.
“Keke, aren’t they in the villa?”
Even Xiao Feng felt confused. He said to Ning Keke after breakfast.
“Master... They are still in their rooms...”
Ning Keke also made breakfast for them. Of course, she knew whether they were in their rooms so she answered shyly.
“Then they must have something to do in the game.”
Xiao Feng slightly frowned and said. Not only Liu Qiangwei and Si Yejing but also Qian Duoduo didn’t log off and come to have breakfast.
Hence, Xiao Feng thought for a while and then without further ado, he also returned to his room and put on his game helmet to log on. He also logged on the game forum and looked through.
Instantly, within a few minutes, Xiao Feng learnt that the Huaxia District was going through a huge upheaval. The turbulent situation threw Xiao Feng into a daze.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Feng didn’t have the mood to creep in the grand underground grave. He asked Liu Qiangwei where she was and then returned via the Town Portal Scroll to the City of Gloom.
This was the valuable consumable produced after a series of systematic stores were founded in the City of Gloom–Specially Designated Portal Scroll, which was rather expensive. Its price was even higher than the fee of the Transmission Formation, because it was much more effective than ordinary Town Portal Scrolls or Transmission Formation. Generally, it could always be used within the Huaxia District even in the status of combat and anyone who used it could directly go back to the City of Gloom.
The current sales price was 20 golden coins, aka, 2,000 dollars in real money. It was extremely expensive indeed. Yet, Qian Duoduo said that the price was not high at all and that the demand would definitely exceed supply after the City of Gloom was officially launched. Xiao Feng never doubted what Qian Duoduo said.
As castellan of the City of Gloom, Xiao Feng could surely get a lot of Town Portal Scrolls to the City of Gloom for free, so he also tried this kind of luxurious consumable out. After all, the space ring could be used for limited times. The more he saved, the better it would be.
He learnt that Liu Qiangwei was in the hall of castellan. There were also the players of War Spirit Hall besides her. Qian Duoduo didn’t return from the imperial city.
“How is it going now?”
When Xiao Feng arrived, he saw Liu Qiangwei with a stern face, Si Yejing, Midsummer Leaf and other seniors as well as War Spirit Sky with a long face, War Spirit Knife and War Spirit Ziyi discussing about something.
“It’s not good.”
Upon seeing Xiao Feng, Liu Qiangwei raised her head and said, “This time it is a war for hegemony. Although we knew this day would come anyway and have been prepared for it all the time, the day comes too suddenly. We are not well prepared.”
Liu Qiangwei was very ambitious, which Xiao Feng always knew. Huaxia District had the most players with different sizes of forces. The forces would surely contend for hegemony one day. Due to the guild list, giants in different areas, status, position, honors, resources, etc., the unrest was bound to happen sooner or later.
However, Liu Qiangwei didn’t expect it to come so soon that she made no adequate preparation. All the guilds just got through the growth stage, without even a period for buffering, a wild war just started to happen!
And by preparation, Liu Qiangwei meant her current greatest ace card–the City of Gloom! It was not completely built up!
The scale and defense of the guild encampment decided the foundation of a guild. And the City of Gloom, this middle-sized main city, exceeded all the guilds substantially in terms of defense. It was fair enough to say that as long as the city’s construction was completed, the City of Gloom would have an innate advantage in the war.
However, it would take some more time before the construction was finished. Surprisingly, the war for hegemony broke out now.
“The blasting fuse happens very suddenly but it still successfully brings the whole Huaxia District into trouble. All the guilds within the District were caught in the unrest. And the melees spread so fast that many grand guilds are dragged into them. By far, only the south and the north are slightly peaceful, but the situation is temporary. As many giant guilds join the melees and even the Dynasty is forced to attend the war to maintain its status.” Liu Qiangwei shook her head and said in a serious voice.
After the melees over one night, by now, only the north and the south were not completely in a mess. Because in the north there was Dynasty Guild and, in the north, the dominant position of the Midsummer Guild had appeared, no guild dared to challenge them so far.
However, the peaceful situation was temporary. In the great turmoil a new giant would be born. Driven by the ambition, the new giant must challenge the original giant!
“Look at the guild list.” Liu Qiangwei said to Xiao Feng.
There were less than 10 players in the hall of castellan but whoever could enter this place were trustable people on their own side. They also knew that the City of Gloom belonged to Xiao Feng and what the city meant.
Xiao Feng heard that and checked the guild list. His attention was caught then.
On the guild list, the Dynasty was ranked No. 1, Midsummer No. 2 and No. 3 became Antiquity! Previously the Antiquity couldn’t even make it into the top 100 of the guild list. Now, it increased its ranking so fast!
“The Antiquity Guild is currently the greatest threat to the south and it is too strongly aggressive. Beginning from the southeast of the Huaxia District, it nibbles the whole south gradually, just like a radiator. Regardless of the guild size, they won’t let go of any guild. The guilds either choose to become a vassal of Antiquity or be destroyed. And the Antiquity Guild is incomparably strong. No guild can stop it. Under its potent manner, more and more guilds have become their vassals in a vaguely snowball trend. In this case, it is only a matter of time for them to encroach on Tianlong City and even the City of Gloom.”
Liu Qiangwei looked stern and said in an ethereal voice with a bit of worry and tiredness.
“The Antiquity...” Xiao Feng muttered and pondered while touching his chin.
“Master Healer, President Rose, now the War Spirit Hall is a close ally of the Midsummer Guild. You must help us think of a solution. The Antiquity Guild is about to reach the Shengshui City soon. In terms of its scale, the War Spirit Hall cannot resist the attack anyway.”
War Spirit Sky, wearing a long face, also said at the moment, trying to see the attitude of Xiao Feng.
Shengshui City was also a main city in the south, but unlike the Tianlong City, which was situated in the center, it was more close to the southeast. Judging from the snow mountain outside the city, there was a big gap between the Shengshui City and the Tianlong City in terms of geographical position.
Unfortunately, the Antiquity started to enlarge its territory from the southeast and in this case, it would arrive at the Shengshui City in one or two days.
As a grand guild, War Spirit Hall was also confident and capable but the problem was that the imposing manner of the Antiquity was too scaring.
War Spirit Sky paid close attention to the expansion of the Antiquity. The most horrifying battle was that it arrived with irresistible force at the entrances of the encampment hall in a battle against three guilds and then shouted–“Dependency or Death”.
Although the Antiquity couldn’t declare war on several guilds at the same time, it had more and more affiliated guilds and it could send the allied guilds to declare war on others. They could declare war too. For several times, the affiliated guilds just defeated some small ones without the help of the Antiquity.
The defeated guilds either became the affiliated members and joined the force of the Antiquity Guild or got challenged constantly until being dismissed.
It was fair enough to say that in the turmoil of the whole Huaxia District, the southeast area was the cruelest and bloodiest, which even made the guilds in the other areas terribly scared. It was because the Antiquity Guild’s manner was too ruthless!
Many guilds that were not afraid to die for what was right formed a team to fight back and take vengeance on Antiquity Guild. However, due to the great gap in strength, their effort failed anyway.
Without doubt, in the south of the Huaxia District, the increasingly growing Antiquity Guild could only be stopped by Midsummer Guild that used to show its ability.
Therefore, War Spirit Sky knew himself well and hastened to ask for help at the crucial juncture. He believed that if War Spirit Hall and Midsummer Guild worked together, the Shengshui City could be defended.
Moreover, even if the south chaos broke out on a full scale, War Spirit Sky also believed that in light of the Midsummer’s appeal and the Antiquity Guild’s bad deeds, the Midsummer Guild could make a great team to compete with the Antiquity! This was the real aim of War Spirit Sky!
“Please rest assured. The Midsummer is on good terms with War Spirit Hall. Of course we won’t look on and leave you alone.” Liu Qiangwei rubbed her white temples and said. Obviously, she had thought ahead.
“Miss, a few more guild presidents have come to our encampment for you.”
Midsummer Lily retreated aside and picked up a call. Then she came over and said to Liu Qiangwei.
“Go ahead then. Just let me know if there is anything I can do.”
Xiao Feng noticed that she was extremely busy so he had to say that and left.
Under the critical circumstances, there was not much that Xiao Feng could do. The only thing that he could do was to turn over one of the battles with his strong fighting capacity.
