Chapter 274: Ultimatum
Zhang Heng didn't expect that the light arc, one of the three major guilds, suddenly issued an ultimatum to Shen Xixi's newly established consortium at 0:00 last night without warning, demanding that Shen Xixi seriously apologize for a vicious conflict that occurred in Tongzhou at night, and hand over the four murderers to compensate for the losses, otherwise he would declare war on the consortium.
Since there was no third party present at the time of the incident, the people on the forum can't restore what happened that night, judging from the information given by the arc so far, it was a team of players in their guild who was tracking a monster on the way, and ran into another team of players belonging to the consortium, and the players of the arc issued a warning, and the opposite side wisely chose to give in.
No matter what reason the player joins the consortium, at least on the surface, it is under the banner of protecting ordinary people, so if the people of the light arc kill the monster, it should also be the players of the union who are happy to see it, but the people of the light arc didn't expect this team to play yin, and left on the surface, who knows that it turned around and came back from behind.
As a result, at that time, the team of the arc was at a critical moment of fighting with the monster, when it was suddenly attacked, and under the enemy's back, five of the six people died, and only one escaped in the end. The management of the arc was furious, and this was the rather harshly worded ultimatum of Zero.
However, the onlookers of the forum don't seem to buy it much, first of all, this matter has only been unilaterally stated by the arc so far, and Shen Xixi and her consortium have not responded for the time being, and secondly, although the three major guilds have been trying their best to restrain the players below, putting on the appearance that we are also reasonable, but after all, we are on the strong side, and it is impossible not to take advantage of our strong position at all, plus the member base is large, there are all kinds of guys in it, and it is inevitable that there will be some things that are not too inauthentic, Therefore, the evaluation in many small and medium-sized guilds and non-guild player teams has always been complicated.
So as soon as this announcement came out, there seemed to be more people gloating in the forum, and one of the hottest comments under the post was - the silly dogs of the arc bully others every day, and they didn't think they had today.
However, less than two minutes after he sent this message, he received a gag gift package for the reason: personal attack.
The so-called player forum was originally a product of the three major guilds, although many of the moderators in it were selected by the players themselves, to show fairness, but the three super moderators are all members of the three major guilds, and it's just a casual matter to get a ban or something.
But the banned guy is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, because the registration threshold of the forum is very low, and you can have a new account by knocking on two strings of characters casually, so the banned guy killed it again in less than ten seconds, and it was still the original ID, the original taste, but there was an extra 01 in the back.
- Come on, permission dog, ban your father again, you can block my account, but can you still block it right!
As soon as this reply was issued, there was another applause below.
The Internet is so real, if you let this group of people go against the arc head-on, of course they don't dare, but no one will admit the scolding war in the vest, everyone can be a hundred, the super moderator of the arc obviously realized this, and left it alone after sealing a bunch of worthless vests.
These cynical people don't actually care about who is right and who is wrong in the conflict between the arc and the consortium, the vast majority of people just take this opportunity to vent their previous dissatisfaction with the arc, as for the consortium, because it has just been established, there is no conflict of interest with the vast majority of players for the time being, and the consortium is different from the guild, its members are more complex, and a considerable part of them are independent teams that are not attached to a guild, plus they are in a weak position relative to the arc, so it is naturally easier to get the sympathy and support of the onlookers.
It's just that this sympathy and support doesn't do much to solve the problem.
The first time Zhang Heng saw the post, he realized that Shen Xixi was in trouble this time, right or wrong aside, the establishment of the consortium itself is not good news for the Grand Guild, although the current structure of the consortium is relatively loose, and there is no threat for the time being, and Shen Xixi himself has repeatedly stated that the purpose of the consortium is only to protect ordinary people.
But no one knows if this development will one day become a behemoth that can compete with the three major guilds, after all, cohesion can be slowly cultivated, and feelings can also be enhanced through cooperation between players, everyone is now just working together to fight monsters, and distribute the spoils according to the regulations, but next time if you meet in which dungeon, is it also possible to cooperate, and then simply unite completely.
Therefore, this incident may just be a fuse, and the rights and wrongs of themselves are no longer important, representing that the three major guilds that were in a wait-and-see state before are ready to take action against the consortium that Shen Xixi has just established, and the unanimous silence of the other two now seems to indicate that the situation is slipping towards the worst possibility.
The tricks they used were very ingenious, forcing Shen Xixi to hand over the responsible person, and the fight was the weakest link of the union, if Shen Xixi handed over people, then the cohesion that was not much in the early days of the establishment of the alliance would soon be left. And if Shen Xixi chooses to resist the pressure and refuses to hand over people, then the arc is likely to really take advantage of the situation and start a war with the consortium, not to mention the gap in strength between the two sides, with the current situation of the consortium, how many people will choose to live and die with this emerging force?
So now no matter which path Shen Xixi chooses, it seems that the union as a newborn has come to an end.
In fact, Shen Xixi has not expressed his position until now, because the consortium has completely exploded.
After receiving the ultimatum, Shen Xixi immediately contacted the management of the consortium, including the presidents of those small and medium-sized guilds, as well as representatives of the independent player team to discuss solutions.
Although he had already made some mental preparations, everyone's reaction still made Shen Xixi feel a little chilled.
Nearly ninety percent of the people are in favor of handing over the player team that caused this incident to the Arc of Light, these people don't even care what the truth is, just like what they have been talking about, the truth doesn't matter anymore, whether the Arc is lying or not, the top priority is to ensure the safety of the consortium first, and then slowly fight with the Arc.
Shen Xixi looked at the group of allies in front of her, and a deep sense of exhaustion arose in her heart, no matter what outsiders thought of it, the reason why she established the alliance was very simple, that is, to do the right thing.
The five words of doing the right thing may seem simple, but only those who have actually practiced it know how difficult it is to do it.
Because the world doesn't always make sense.
Shen Xixi had already met with the players who caused this conflict before coming to the venue, and she was at least eighty percent sure that it was the arc side that lied about this conflict, and even if the other party had not planned it for a long time, it was obviously ready to use this conflict to swear to the consortium, and everyone in the venue knew what kind of fate they would face if they handed over people, but it seemed that everyone had selectively ignored this matter, and personal sacrifices in the face of group interests were always described as understatement.
