Chapter 233: Public Opinion Sentinel Battle
In retrospect, many players of "Redemption" felt that on the day when the Storm Inland Sea plot entered the final climactic battle, various plots unfolded on the game forum, perhaps even more exciting than the main drama battle afterward.
It all started with a recruitment order from Yekal, the prince of the Hydra royal family, the ruler of the Storm Inland Sea.
As players learn more about the ecological and cultural exploration of the Storm Inland Sea and the sea beasts that live here, the Hydra royal family that has ruled here for generations, as well as some of the important NPC characters with real power, are gradually becoming familiar to players. Because of this, when Yekal publicly declared in the recruitment order that the second heir to the throne, Duke Jeshia, mainly colluded with the forces of the House of Elders to launch a usurper rebellion, and even colluded with the chaotic forces of the Northern Continent, this bloody drama suspected of the dispute between the crown princes within the Hydra royal family instantly attracted the attention of all players who paid attention to the storm in the inner sea during this time.
However, to the player's somewhat strange thing, it is clear that the recruitment order and the official declaration of war on Prince Yekal's side have been written in black and white and spread throughout the port towns and cities along the Inland Sea, but the parties on the other side of the incident, Jeshia, who is accused of usurping the throne and rebelling, and the forces of the Elders' House have not spoken out at all, let alone recruiting the player's army among the players to fight against Prince Yekal and the forces of the Hydra royal family.
This was a big disappointment to many good players at first, and finally this time, the plot of the storm inland sea, which had been brewing for so long, seemed to be finally approaching its climax, but it turned out to make everyone wait for an old routine where everyone was in the same camp to fight against the NPC army. Although there is a precedent for the Battle of the Holy City, this kind of large-scale campaign event where all players gather on the same side to face the enemy is not as interesting as the orthodox national war, where players are divided into two or even multiple factions and compete directly with each other based on their strength in the game.
Because of these reasons, this time Prince Yekal's recruitment order to players, although a considerable number of people immediately responded to participate, compared to the previous first Holy City Guardian War, and even earlier when the Imperial side swept the border beasts and Lancarus Undead Tide, the enthusiasm of players to participate in this major event of the storm inland sea has obviously declined.
However, not everyone prioritizes the fun and novelty of the game. For some professional gaming groups in the game, especially large professional gamer guilds, no matter what type of super-large events in the game are, they are a great opportunity to use the number and team advantages of professional guilds to accumulate more in-game capital for themselves. Especially for those large guilds that have recently fallen into a disadvantage in competition with their opponents, this kind of large-scale event that can reap huge benefits once organized and arranged properly is an excellent opportunity for them to turn the tables.
This is the case with the Dark Domain Guild, which was originally the overlord of the Free Federation player power in the early stage of the game, although it also pulled a good financial owner when the game opened up for foreign capital injection, but in the end, I don't know if it was because of the natural unfavorable years or because of the fact that the past was too domineering and made too many enemies, under the pressure of the old opponents of all parties and the emerging forces led by the Star Palace, the Dark Domain has now long since retreated from the position of the absolute only overlord of the Free Federation, It was caught up by the newly rising Star Hall and was in a comparable or even slightly weak situation.
In this case, the Dark Domain Guild naturally attaches great importance to every plot trend of this Storm Inland Sea plot, after Yekal's player recruitment order was issued and spread among the players, the high-level leaders of the Dark Domain Guild made a decision after a short period of deliberation, and decided to take advantage of the fact that the other big guilds, especially the competitors led by the Star Hall on the side of the Free Federation, were still waiting and waiting to gather the core elite members in the guild to collectively respond to Yekal's recruitment. Then he took all the men and ships of the guild in the inland sea and headed towards the vicinity of Neptune Island, where the Hydra royal clan is located.
I have to say that although the starting point of the Dark Domain Guild's move is to consider the development of its own guild, after all, the reputation and authority of the old big guild of the former overlord are still there, and many ordinary players and small and medium-sized guilds immediately followed suit after seeing the Dark Domain Guild so decisive, and even some big guilds began to sit still, and they more or less sent people to start responding to Yekal's call.
But then, a series of unexpected twists began.
In the wave of joining the power of the Hydra royal clan that gradually gained momentum because of the actions of the Dark Domain Guild, many players found that as the main opponent of the Dark Domain Guild today, the Star Hall Guild did not seem to be worried about being seized by the Dark Region and other guilds from top to bottom, and not only that, but even from the top management of the Star Hall Guild issued an order to the guild, whether it is a core member or a peripheral member, not to follow the trend and respond to Prince Yekar's recruitment order.
If there is eccentricity, there will be curiosity, and if there is curiosity, there will be exploration, and soon, one after another, "top secret news" was "leaked" from the mouths of some middle and high-level people in the Star Palace.
- In fact, Prince Yekal is the one who really colludes with the Chaos side in the Storm Inland Sea today, and the rebel Princess Jeshia and the Elder's House forces in his mouth are the most representative order camp forces in the Storm Inland Sea today.
- The recruitment of players for Princess Jessia's forces will begin soon, and this time the Storm Inland Sea plot is not actually all players in the same camp, but will be divided into two factions.
- The identity of Princess Jeshia's side of the order camp is confirmed, and the elves and reinforcements from the Goddess of Creation Sect will be on Princess Jeshia's side.
- It is said that in fact, there is a team of great god players who are extremely close to the Hall of Stars Guild who have completed the main chain of tasks on Princess Jeshia, and the inside truth about Prince Yekal and Princess Jehya is what they told the senior management of the Hall of Stars Guild, and it is precisely because they know the truth that the Hall of Stars will not be afraid of being preempted by those guilds in the dark region and even hope that they will all go to Prince Yekal, after all, Prince Yekal's true identity belongs to Chaos, and the players are the forces of order that are set to die, maybe in the end, the people in Yekal's camp will be brutally pitted by Yekal, who has already fallen into chaos.
At first, it could only be regarded as a rumor, and even the president of the Hall of Stars, Xinghe, quickly came forward in person to officially announce that they did not have any friends from the Great God Player Team to leak secrets to them, and announced that they had sent a group of players to join the Yekal camp to test the waters. But soon, as the group of Star Hall players were revealed to be cannon fodder in the periphery of the group that had just joined the Star Hall and their equipment level was extremely poor, such a move was instantly explained by the players as the Star Hall This is to cover up.
A voice began to appear on the forum, in fact, the news from the Star Palace is true, but the Star Palace can monopolize more benefits by the way in order to trap competitors (in the minds of the vast majority of players who don't know the truth of this world, once there is a duel between order and chaos, then the order side can almost be said to be a predetermined victory, after all, the purpose of this "game" is not to promote the protection of order and expel chaos), so it has been concealing this news and trying to cover it up, That hypocrite of Xinghe just wants them to eat alone in the Star Palace!
The one-sided public opinion on the forum began to change, and many players who originally wanted to join the Yekal camp without careful consideration decided to temporarily stop and wait and see, and even some players who had recently joined the Yekal camp began to doubt and hesitate, and had the intention of repenting and quitting. However, at this moment, the public opinion counterattack from the guilds that suspected to be from the Dark Domain and others who had decided to join Yekal's camp early in the morning began.
- In the final analysis, it is just a dispute between the prince and the princess, and the division of order and chaos is just two sides throwing dirty water on each other for the sake of righteousness, and a fool will take these statements seriously!
- Actually, the guys in the Hall of Stars are worried that the player recruitment order of Princess Jeshia's camp they bet on was released too late, causing all the players to concentrate on the Yekal camp and make them have no chance of winning the final battle, so they deliberately used this kind of serial rumor to trick everyone into following them, right?
- Having said so much, where is the most critical player recruitment order for the so-called Princess Jeshia's camp?
Indeed, many calm players think about it, the public opinion on the side of the Yekal camp is not unreasonable, such as the player camp war, if the number of players on the two sides is too different, it will indeed show a one-sided situation, so the Hall of Stars is actually as the analysis emperor on the forum said that there are too many people in the Yekal camp so they panicked, so they used this kind of confusing means to reserve potential combat power for the Jeshia camp that has not yet started recruiting manpower?
In any case, the plot war of the Ming Zheng drama has not yet begun, and the forum has started a public opinion war led by the two guild giants of the Dark Domain and the Hall of Stars because of the addition of the two plot camps, which is really a novelty in the game...... The Dark Realm and the Hall of Stars are like the agent of the two forces of Prince Yekal and Princess Jeshia, and before the start of the war, all kinds of wits are used to snatch the manpower of the battle, and this kind of development has made many players who were originally disappointed in the plot of the Inland Sea regain their sense of excitement, and this immersive feeling as if they are actually participating in the historical event of two groups of people fighting for a throne is really addictive and unable to stay out of the matter.
Things continued to ferment like this, and the forum was completely divided into two factions arguing with each other to pull people, and in this way, the growth rate of players in Prince Yekal's camp was finally successfully slowed down, and the potential combat power of Princess Jeshia's camp also grew little by little with the Star Hall as the core. However, since Yekal's summoning order finally seized the opportunity, a discerning person can still see that if the summoning order of the Jeshia camp is issued now, the number of people recruited is estimated to be much less than that of Yekal's camp. In future faction battles, the victory rate of the Jeshia faction is still quite unoptimistic.
However, just when the balance of power in this public opinion war was almost settled, a bombshell detonated the topic again on the afternoon of game time.
The emerging guild of imperial power, Mu Tianxia, who had been maintaining a low-key participation in the storm inland sea incident, suddenly joined the battle. Self-made with a group of scattered player brothers laid the foundation of the Shepherd World Guild, and President Mu Yun, the imperial thief god who has not tasted defeat since his debut, rarely issued a captain's order in the Shepherd World Guild, asking the brothers of Mu Tianxia to fully withdraw from Prince Yekal's camp, and as soon as possible, along with the middle and high-level of the guild and the elite group, they will go to the stronghold of Princess Jeshia and the Hydra Elder's Mansion, Ruivaze Island, in an organized manner, and prepare to respond to the recruitment order of Princess Jeshia's camp!
