Chapter 433: Declaration of War
The Phoenix Fortress stands on the lonely peak of the plain, like a white cloud that blends into the blue sky. Above the fortress, a huge fiery phoenix fluttered, and its falling tail feathers enveloped the entire fortress.
As a must for every player to step into the jungle for the first time. The status of the Phoenix Fortress in people's minds is not the same. Even though many players have grown up and gone to higher-level areas and rarely come back here, this is still the place that comes to mind when they recall their journey to the Skywalker Wild after many years.
They will vividly remember the huge fiery phoenix in the sky, and remember the faint red light that fell on the walls, floors, and walls of buildings under the tail feathers of the phoenix. It was the color of the setting sun, making the fortress seem like it was in the setting sun forever.
There is a tavern in the Phoenix Fortress called the Redstone Tavern. This is a system tavern, so no matter how many people pour in, there will always be drinks and empty seats.
The owner of the tavern, Joe, is a cold middle-aged man who doesn't smile. But it's a good wine.
Over the years, generations of first-level guild leaders who have been in this small river and lake have liked to come here to drink and chat. For them, it's a place for their daily pastime, as well as a place to get information and negotiate deals.
The Redstone Tavern is also lively today. In the real world, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the tavern was still full of people and bustling. Players chatted while drinking and gossip about gossip belonging to the district. Look around from time to time to see which female player with a hot body and beautiful looks has come, or which famous master has come.
At a long table near the bar, several guild leaders were enthusiastically discussing the news they had just received.
"I knew that Luo Shaofei and Jin Gang were going to fight, hey, I didn't expect it to be Jin Gang who made the first move. ”
"Not surprising. These guys from the Great King Guild are in trouble all day long, and when they don't fight? To say that they have much more experience in this area than the people of Demon Flame. Jin Gang is ruthless again, and it is normal to be the first to do it. ”
"I heard that Chu Dong of Tianhuo came forward?"
"Well, it was said that he and several other guilds stood up for Jin Gang and threatened Luo Shaofei to make him withdraw from the competition of the resident guild of that guild. ”
"Heh, this Chu Dong has to stir up any, really when he Tianhuo will be the leader of our district?"
The presidents were talking enthusiastically.
Zheng Zhigang held a glass of beer and sat on the side and listened quietly.
The guild presidents who were discussing it didn't know that this middle-aged player sitting next to them was the manager of the Tianxing Hall where the Great King and Demon Flame were fighting. Everyone only knows him as Lao Zheng, who appeared at the Red Stone Tavern about a month ago. Because of his hearty personality, humble and funny conversation, and generous shots, he became one of the people here after drinking a few wines.
At this moment, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and no one noticed that the expression on Zheng Zhigang's face was slightly cold.
Zheng Zhigang drank wine and swept his gaze over everyone one by one.
This is a closed small circle, and among these people here, there are Xie Rao of the second-ranked Little Black Flag Guild, Shan Xiaohu of the sixth-ranked Stinger Guild, and Tong Fei of the seventh-ranked Liuyun Pavilion. The rest of the people are also the presidents or senior leaders of the major guilds. They are well-informed, even if it is gossip, it is mostly some secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to know.
That's why he went out of his way to join here.
Zheng Zhigang is a candidate for the guild to observe.
He is Chinese New Year's Eve and has been in Tianan City for nearly half a year as a professional manager.
Recalling that when he first accepted the offer for this position, Adrian Cheng did not realize what kind of turmoil he would be involved in. In his opinion, this was just a turning point in his career.
Zheng Zhigang used to be the manager of a small Tianxing guild, and the boss behind it was a comprehensive mining group.
The qualification of the Tianxing Hall was obtained by the mining group in the early years. But for a long time, there were few knowledgeable people within the group, and the business situation was very average, and there were only seven branches in total. It is completely self-entertaining within the group.
However, after Zheng Zhigang became the manager, the performance of the branch library he was in charge soared, and it gradually became famous in the local area, not only gathering many folk masters and powerful guilds, but also helping the group to broaden the resource channels that had not grown in the temple for decades, and even cooperated with a local B-level professional club.
With such a performance, getting any Tianxing Hall is enough for a promotion and a salary increase.
However, instead of bringing any benefit to Zheng Zhigang, this made him ostracized. In the end, the son of a CEO of the mining group took over the operation of the chain hall, and casually found an excuse to dismiss Zheng Zhigang.
In the current recession, unemployment is undoubtedly the most terrible disaster. After staying at home for two months, Zheng Zhigang looked at his wife and daughter, and his hair turned white. Unexpectedly, at this time, a headhunting company took the initiative to find him and recommended him to the club under construction as a manager.
Zheng Zhigang agreed without hesitation.
When he signed the contract, Zheng Zhigang signed with a company called Magic Box. He had thought that this company was the owner of the Edgeworth Celestial Clan. But as time passed, he slowly learned that the level at which the magic box company was located was only a management level.
And above the magic box company, there is a real owner.
Edgeworth Club of the A-Tier!
This made Zheng Zhigang very surprised. You know, it's an A-level professional club. Neither the channels nor the resources are comparable to the average person.
And before he could come back to his senses, he learned an even more shocking news - the Edgeworth Club had already been sold by the original owner, and the force that took over the club was the military of the Republic.
These sources of information come from military representatives, that is, Zheng Zhigang's partner, Wan Long.
Wan Lung's job is to assist in the operation of the association, liaise with superiors, deal with some problems outside of the operation, and carry out supervision. At the same time, he is also an inspector. It was through Wan Long's investigation that Zheng Zhi was allowed to know some information just now.
From Wan Long's mouth, Zheng Zhigang learned that the magic box company was a company established by the military to operate the Tianxing Hall. Within half a year, the Magic Box Company had selected hundreds of cities among the more than forty immigrant planets in the galaxy to open the Skywalk Hall. To date, more than 60 halls have been opened, and the number is growing at a rapid rate.
Moreover, the military did not try to run the Tianxing Hall, but recruited a lot of professional managers like themselves to run it. Leave professional things to professional people.
According to Wanlong's information, the military has drawn up an assessment and promotion plan for this purpose.
As long as these professional managers operate well and can win in the competition, then they will get unlimited upside in the magic box company in the future. He even sat in the position of the chief operator of hundreds of Edgeworth Heavenly Clans.
Adrian Cheng has always been ambitious, so when he found himself facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he did not hesitate to put his future on this table.
In the past few months, from the preparation and decoration of the Tianxing Hall, to the admission of equipment, personnel training, to commissioning, and the opening of the ...... He spares no effort and puts his heart and soul into it.
After the opening of the hall, Zheng Zhigang adjusted his focus at the first time.
Adrian Cheng knows that the most important thing about the success of a guild hall is the attraction and cohesion of the guild to players.
In a way, the guild hall is a folk Tianxing club. The purpose of the player's visit to the guild hall is not only a teleportation, but also a deeper spiritual need and satisfaction.
Some need advice and help, some need friends and communication, some need access to resources, and some need a strong backer...... Whoever can provide these things will have a strong attraction and bring together the best players.
This is the experience that Adrian Cheng summed up when he ran the club in the past. Therefore, after freeing up his hands, he now gave himself only one task - that is, to choose an excellent resident guild.
How well this task is accomplished will have a direct bearing on one's own future.
And at this moment, hearing the news about the Great King Guild and the Demon Flame Guild, Zheng Zhigang felt a little tired in his heart.
So far, none of the guilds registered in the guild hall have been eye-catching.
The Red Fox Guild seems to be powerful, but in fact they are nothing more than fox fake tiger power, relying on the deterrence of the second-level guild demon behind them. In the real first-level guild, they have not yet entered the top thirty.
And what made Zheng Zhigang even more unhappy was that the demon was still the resident guild of another Tianxing Guild [Lanshi Guild]. The relationship between the two is very deep, and basically when it comes to Lanshi, people will think of demon behavior. And when it comes to demons, people will think of Lanshi. In the case of such a deep binding, what is the matter with one of their chapters coming to their side to take the chief guild?
Could it be that Edgeworth is a branch of Lanshi?
As for the notorious Prince's Guild, Zheng Zhigang is even more disdainful.
However, although he is the manager of the guild, he can't be too obvious in the matter of the choice of the resident guild. You must know that it is the tradition of Galaxy Tianxing to decide the resident guild by the competition competition.
This is an unspoken rule that has gradually formed over the years in cooperation and confrontation between the guild and the guild hall. Whoever dares to violate the Tianxing Guild will face the collective resistance and attack of all the Tianxing Guilds. Even other guilds will gloat and fall into the trap.
The so-called improper name is not good. Since you play this game, you have to follow this rule.
If your Resident Guild seat can't be determined by an open and fair competitive competition, then don't blame everyone for not recognizing it and targeting you in the Celestial Sanctuary and in reality. When the time comes, if someone attacks this resident guild in the temple every day or queues up to kick the hall in reality, it will be you.
Therefore, even if he had to exclude the two guilds of Demon Xing and the Great King in the end, at least on the surface, he would have to comply with the rules.
In the past few days, Zheng Zhigang has been thinking of a way.
He is also trying to find some new contenders. Even the reason why the conflict broke out between the Great King Guild and the Demon Flame Guild was spread by him. It's a pity that although some guilds heard the news, most of them are ranked below the Demon Flame and the Great King.
And the little black rider, Stinger, and Liuyun Pavilion around him are powerful, but they are either branches of the big guilds and have no interest in the resident hall, or they are already resident guilds of a certain guild.
"I don't know how the Demon Flame responds. Zheng Zhigang thought, a little worried.
Among the guilds that signed up for the competition, although the Demon Flame did not meet the standard in his mind, it was still one of the ones he could see. If the Demon Flame retreats because of this......
Zheng Zhigang felt that he really didn't know where to find a guild to fight Red Fox and the King in just one week.
Just thinking about it, suddenly, I saw Xie Rao, the leader of the Little Black Riding Guild, suddenly speak: "War has been declared!"
"What?" everyone was stunned.
"The Heavenly Fire Guild, the Great King Guild, the Fierce Tribe, the Blood Ghost Battalion, the Eagle Flying Tower...... Seven guilds, at the same time declared war on the Demon Flame Guild!" Xie Rao said, "It is said that Chu Dong threatened Luo Shaofei, but Luo Shaofei didn't give face, and scolded him directly. Then these families joined forces to declare war. Chu Dong had already released his words to prevent a single Demon Flame member from entering the wild area, and to kill the Demon Flame until the guild was disbanded. ”
Tong Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, whistled and praised: "Luo Shaofei, irritable!"
Zheng Zhigang's heart sank.
