As the saying goes, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes." ”

When there was a problem with the giant ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty, naturally some people had other thoughts and wanted to find another way out, and it was Wu Hou Xiongba of the Great Zhou Dynasty who sent a secret letter to Ouyang Shuo.

Xiongba revealed in the letter that this time the national war Moon Emperor Chen was ready to respond passively, and at that time it might only symbolically send a little troops, reminding Ouyang Shuo to be mentally prepared.

Di Chen was about to break the jar and break it, and he didn't want to care about the reaction of the players in Huaxia District, and he didn't want to be like last year's National War Month, half-covering and half-covering, and finally made a wedding dress for Daxia.

Probably in Di Chen's opinion, no matter which national war target Ouyang Shuo chooses, Da Zhou will not be able to reap the benefits. Even so, it is indeed a pragmatic approach to give up voluntarily.

As for the player's opinion, in the words of Emperor Chen, "It's already like this, what am I afraid of?!" ”

Ouyang Shuo looked at the secret letter and thought thoughtfully.

Emperor Chen's plan did not surprise Ouyang Shuo much, what surprised him was the deep meaning behind Xiongba's move. Xiongba is not a stupid person, and he quietly revealed the matter, and the intention of showing favor was very obvious.

Perhaps, another split within the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to be ushered in.

"It's time to wrap up." Ouyang Shuo's eyes were long.

…………

In view of Emperor Chen's "non-cooperation", on May 20, Ouyang Shuo announced on the forum in advance that the target of the national war would be Tianzhu District, and players who wanted to participate in the war could assemble in the Daxia Hetao Province or the Tubo Dynasty from now on, so as to save time on the march.

Unexpectedly, there were very few responders.

In this national war, not only did the Great Zhou have no enthusiasm to participate in the war, but even the Great Jin Dynasty was not very interested.

Last year, Dajin fought Dongying, in order to lay a sea base and open ocean trade; This attack on Tianzhu, even if you take a little land in Tianzhu District, it is still an enclave, and it is useless.

Moreover, Da Jin is not as strong as Da Xia's family background, and the NPC cannot be resurrected, so the phoenix prisoner naturally becomes cautious. No one is interested in doing something that does not match the risks and benefits at all.

As the king of Jin, the phoenix prisoner has to be responsible for thousands of people, and he can't do what he wants.

Ouyang Shuo can understand.

It's just that in this way, this national war has become a one-man show in Great Xia.

"It's not good to sing a one-man show."

Once the Tianzhu District is provoked and they are united to take the initiative to attack Huaxia, then the Hetao Province will bear the brunt. It's still unknown who will attack whom.

Ouyang Shuo is the Peacock King, and he will not miss such a good opportunity, just with the help of Tianzhu District, take advantage of the opportunity of the national war, take the Hetao Province in one fell swoop, and find a way to recover for the defeat in the last war.

If the Java region and the Russian region also declare war on the Huaxia region, then the days of Daxia will be even more difficult, not to mention gnawing the bones of Tianzhu, it would be good to be able to hold the territory.

Thinking about the key clearly, Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile.

The drawbacks of Bactria's external expansion were highlighted at this time, but all the game areas bordering the Huaxia District were bordering the Bacttria Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty were located inland, but there was no pressure.

The fire at the city gate also affected the pond fish, not to mention that Great Xia had countless enemies, thinking that whether it was the silver hand or the blue badge, he would not let go of such a good opportunity to hit Great Xia.

What makes Ouyang Shuo even more upset is still to come.

On May 21, I don't know where the news came from, saying that the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty have no intention of fighting a national war this year. Players who are a little smarter, immediately smell danger from it.

After thinking about it a little, you can imagine that this national war will never be as smooth sailing as last year, and the player's desire to take the opportunity to pick up a bargain will naturally fade.

Some players who were originally going to respond to Ouyang Shuo's call and prepare to get up and go to Hetao Province to assemble also stopped under the influence of the people around them.

The entire Huaxia District fell into a strange atmosphere.

…………

May 22, Shanhai City.

In the summer palace, Ouyang Shuo's brows were tightly locked, the "gossip" that came out yesterday was 100% released by Emperor Chen, the purpose was to add chaos to Great Xia, and his intentions were not sinister.

"There's really no lower limit." Ouyang Shuo was completely disappointed in Emperor Chen.

What disappointed him was the players in the Huaxia region.

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that a round of game updates and an achievement value competition would make adventurers lose their lives to this point, and they no longer had the blood of their previous home and country.

Full of enthusiasm, all turned into cold calculations of gains and losses.

This is human nature, but Ouyang Shuo faintly felt that something was wrong, he always felt that such a "self-preservation" behavior of adventure players was afraid that it was inconsistent with Gaia's original intention.

If the players in the game world are not enthusiastic, how can they be expected to conquer their own strength in the Hope Planet, in a more difficult and harsh environment, for the living space of human beings?!

The sword is cold, and the blood should be hot.

It was in such a situation that Ouyang Shuo invited the leaders of the Guild such as Scarlet Romance to the Summer Palace as guests.

Imperial Garden, West Lawn.

Because it was not a relationship between monarchs and ministers, the meeting occasion arranged by Ouyang Shuo was less serious, and everyone sat on the lawn, chatting while eating afternoon tea.

After chatting for a few words, Ouyang Shuo asked, "What do you think of the rumors in the past two days?" ”

Scarlet Romance and the others glanced at each other, they didn't know how to answer, they were all extremely smart people, and they had already guessed why Ouyang Shuo summoned them before they came.

Even if you are mentally prepared, you can't answer.

After all, this is not a glorious thing, and it is still very embarrassing to be asked by Ouyang Shuo hotly.

When Ouyang Shuo saw it, he sighed quietly in his heart, he looked around, and every guild leader who was staring at him unconsciously avoided his eyes and didn't dare to look directly.

Even Xie Siyun had a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.

"I can understand your intentions. There's nothing wrong with empathy. Ouyang Shuo gave them a step down and eased the atmosphere a little.

"It's mainly the people below who are making a lot of noise." Mingyue Zhao Dajiang reluctantly explained.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "I can understand everyone's approach, but I don't agree." ”

Seeing this, the blood-colored romance said solemnly: "Brother Ouyang, if you have any high opinions, please make it clear!" ”

For Ouyang Shuo, the blood romance is very respectful. This lord, who was his age, could always see things that others couldn't. Therefore, there is no irony in saying this.

Ouyang Shuo also understands the bloody romantic temperament, "The relationship between the individual and the collective is constantly changing, for the guild, the player is the individual, and the guild is the collective; For the Great Xia collective, the guild has become an individual again. If you look at the Huaxia District, the Chinese civilization, and the Great Xia are not individuals. ”

"The ancients had clouds, but the skin did not exist, and the hair would be attached to ......"

When Ouyang Shuo said this, the faces of the bloody romance and others were a little weird, in their minds, Ouyang Shuo was moving the "patriotic truth" alive, which was really funny and out of standard.

If you want to convince them like this, you can't do it.

Ouyang Shuo's expression remained unchanged, "Gaia's real-time update of achievement points seems to emphasize the individual, but its real purpose is to enhance the overall strength of the human race, so that we have the capital to survive on the planet of hope." ”

"If this time, in the face of the national war, the guild will follow the player's call and choose to retreat. Once the hearts of the people are scattered, the future is in the planet of hope, once there is a conflict of interests, can the guild still exist as a collective? ”

“……”

The bloody romance and the others looked at each other, and for the first time there was a solemnity in their eyes.

Ouyang Shuo continued: "Perhaps you have also noticed that since the player walked out of that small world in the royal city and entered the Great Xia Dynasty, the cohesion of the guild has been challenged. ”

Great Xia has a perfect system, and in Great Xia, most players can live a very nourishing life without guilds; Some of the mixed ones even felt that the guild had become a drag.

At the same time, the laws of Great Xia are strict, and players who commit crimes need to be judged by the government, and it is not their turn to fight privately between guilds. In this way, the guild's function of protecting its members was greatly weakened.

All in all, some of the functions of the guild have been imperceptibly replaced by the Great Xia government, and the guild's sense of existence has naturally been decreasing.

Correspondingly, the binding force of guilds on players is reduced. Just like this, as soon as the members make a fuss, Scarlet Romance and others have to compromise.

This is not a normal phenomenon.

Therefore, hearing Ouyang Shuo say this, Mingyue Zhao Dajiang nodded unconsciously.

"Have you ever considered what form the future guild will take on the planet of hope? Or is it that as soon as the game is over, the guild will disperse? Ouyang Shuo's words were very heart-wrenching.

Indeed, in the face of interest considerations, players can even ignore the feelings of their family and country, so how can they care about the friendship of the guild. Once it returns to reality and social relations are reconstructed, there is no soil for the guild to exist.

Falling apart is almost inevitable.

Once the guild is dissolved, it will be the guild leaders who will lose the most, and they will return to normality, and they will no longer be able to call the wind and rain as they did in the game world.

If it's still on Earth, it's nothing. Their original intention in forming the guild was to make money, as long as they could make money, who would expect to be able to point fingers at the guild members in reality.

But Earth Online is not a regular game, the game world is becoming more and more entangled with the planet of hope, and the bond with reality is no longer limited to money.

In such a situation, no one believes that the guild leaders have no greater ambitions.

And to realize their ambitions, a major premise is that the guild can continue to exist on the planet of hope, but according to Ouyang Shuo's analysis, this is almost impossible.

In terms of organization, the guilds can't catch up with the territory.

Since the development of the game, the operation mode of the guild is no different from other games, and it is still the same. The territory is different, since its birth, it has taken the organization as the core, and constantly strengthened and improved the organizational system.

Today, it is no different from reality.

The difference between the two models has created the current situation, otherwise how can it be said that Gaia prefers the lord.

“……”

Silence, an embarrassing silence permeated the Imperial Garden.

The expressions of the bloody romance and others were extremely exciting, such a crisis, they may have vaguely thought about it, but it was by no means as thorough as Ouyang Shuo thought.

It's not that they are not smart, but Ouyang Shuo has long been accustomed to thinking from the perspective of the Hope Planet, and if he stands at a different height, he will naturally see different things.

They can plan for next year, but Ouyang Shuo has already thought about five years later.

Still Mingyue Zhao Dajiang broke the silence and said helplessly: "We don't want to do this either, but the people below are unwilling to go on the expedition, so we can't force them to go, right?" ”

"In the past, when the members died, the guild had a whole set of compensation mechanisms, and everyone had no scruples. Now even if you want to make up for it, you are powerless, and you can't compensate for the achievement points. ”

Between the words, there was a little grievance.

Ouyang Shuo was unmoved, turned his head to look at Scarlet Romance and the others, and asked, "Your guild is the same?" ”

Scarlet Romance shook his head, "It's not all, there are still some people who are willing to go on the expedition, but these people are influenced by the people around them, and their will is not so strong." ”

Ouyang Shuo knew that the [Bloody Mercenary Group] really didn't disappoint him.

At this point, Ouyang Shuo finally subdued Scarlet Romance and the others again, and let the conversation return to his control, only then did he throw out his calculations and said with a smile: "I have a proposal." ”

"Please!"

Scarlet Romance and the others became more and more respectful, they were like drowning people, in urgent need of help.

"If, I mean, if the Great Xia Army is willing to open up to the guild, are you willing to join the army?"

The blood-colored romantic eyes froze, and his expression faded suddenly, "Brother Ouyang meant, is he ready to take us in?" "Acceptance of the territory is a taboo subject for the guild.

Even if Ouyang Shuo has a lot of foreshadowing, it still causes a backlash. If it weren't for Ouyang Shuo's long-term accumulated credibility and prestige, I am afraid that someone would immediately get up and leave.

Ouyang Shuo was also unintimidated, he had such confidence, nodded and said, "Sort of!" ”

"This ......"

Ouyang Shuo's attitude made Scarlet Romance and the others calm down. At first, they were just instinctively disgusted, and after they calmed down, they really began to think about the pros and cons and the great relationship.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

At this point, the guild really has no capital to negotiate with the territory, especially a giant like Great Xia. As mentioned earlier, the moment the guild broke away from the royal city, it could no longer stand tall.

Living in the territory of Great Xia, how could they really do what they wanted.

In between, the territory occupies an absolutely strong position.

With the pattern of the Huaxia District, players will only beg to settle in Great Xia, and once they leave Great Xia, it may be an exaggeration to say that "there is no place to live", and it is inevitable that they will not live so well.

Thinking of this, the bloody romance and others smiled bitterly, and their expressions suddenly became gloomy, a bit of a heroic twilight feeling, in the words of the martial arts people, "The rivers and lakes have changed!" ”

After waiting for a full ten minutes, Ouyang Shuo said: "Accepting the incorporation is definitely not a flood beast, maybe you think too much. In the future, you will never regret making such a decision now. ”

“……”

Scarlet Romance and the others were silent, but they still couldn't twist it.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Xie Siyun relieved Ouyang Shuo, with Lin Jing's relationship, [Xue Xue Rose] is afraid that it is the guild with the least resistance.

Even so, Xie Siyun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Does this mean that an era is over?!" Xie Siyun sighed in her heart.

Ouyang Shuo said: "We can discuss the specific plan." In principle, each guild could be retained up to the battalion level, which was five hundred people. On the premise of following the military regulations of Great Xia, it can also retain appropriate autonomy, and officers, including the battalion chief, can be elected by the guild itself. ”

As mentioned earlier, Ouyang Shuo strives to increase the player's sense of identity with Great Xia. Previously, players were encouraged to build farms, mainly for life players and casual players, and the army was reorganized, which was aimed at combat players.

Ouyang Shuo's choice to reorganize the guild was not just to deal with the national war.

In the future on Planet Hope, the battle player must be a major force against monsters, but in the game world, this force is too uncontrollable and still scattered.

Relying solely on the operation of the Guild Elite Group will not be able to temper players into qualified warriors.

Warriors can only be produced in the army, on the battlefield.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo never thought that he would reorganize the guild in one go, and he aimed at those elite players who had both enthusiasm and combat talent.

Putting them in the Great Xia Army to temper and identify with the Great Xia collective is Ouyang Shuo's purpose.

Ouyang Shuo continued: "In addition to combat players, the Great Xia Army is also very welcome to the life professional players who match the military camp. As for all of you here, if you wish, you can start with the division commander. ”

"As long as you have the ability, it is not impossible to be promoted to the commander of the corps in the future, or even the commander of the group army, and to be on a par with the famous generals of history. The amount of employment in Great Xia, you must all know it. ”

After Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, the scene was still a little dull.
