Chapter 387: Rumors
In the end, the war did not happen.
After Liu Ming's apology, re-commitments, and compensation to several professionals who had been driven out by force, the conflict ended with a temporary concession from the He'an base.
Xiao Hongye, who was secretly ready for both, didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed when he saw this. However, thanks to this conflict, the situation of bandits is finally obvious.
Even if he knew that the He'an base would not give up, in a short period of time, Hongye Gang had no choice.
You can only sit firmly on this big ship of the Alliance!
Peng Mingzhe knows this kind of small action in secret. But he didn't say anything, just sneered in his heart.
In this conflict with the He'an base, he hesitated again and again, but he still did not use the excuse that the other party was a member of the alliance to force the other party to join the battle against the He'an reinforcements. But after this time, if there is another conflict in the future, Peng Mingzhe, who has already given the other party a chance, will not have any softness.
………
In the next two days, the surface calm of Bandit West City was temporarily restored.
When the overall situation was decided, Hongye Gang showed higher enthusiasm to entertain Peng Mingzhe and his party. And Peng Mingzhe and the members of the Rescuers Guild who came in for reinforcements, after thwarting the plot of the He'an base, also dutifully fulfilled the responsibility of stationing. Divided into three teams, together with the professionals of the Hongye Gang, they began to clean up the county seat of Gangxi.
Hundreds of demonic beasts were slain by the toughest professionals.
Although there were several dangers during the period and encountered powerful elite monsters, with good cooperation, sufficient potions and a little luck, no sacrifice was made!
In just a few days, the safety factor of the county seat of Gangxi has risen sharply.
This kind of combat power, in the eyes of the members of the Hongye Gang, made them can't help but admire a little more, and they are secretly glad of their previous choice.
On the other hand, as the alliance's support for the new members, Fang Jin also sent some of the low-level potions and equipment produced in the guild's territory at cost price, which greatly bought a wave of people's hearts - these things are no longer sold in the Salvation Guild, but they still have a considerable market for small forces like the Hongye Gang.
In this regard, Xiao Hongye obviously did not know, and he was quite grateful.
The affiliation between the Hongye Gang and the alliance has been completely determined.
However, the situation on the side of the Rescuers' Guild is very good, and the situation on the side of the He'an Base is completely different.
For Liu Ming not to fully implement the decision of the Executive Committee, but to bow his head to the Rescuers Guild, the Executive Committee of the He'an Base must be dissatisfied. In the report when I went back, there were also some executive committee members who attacked this. But it's also true that the Guild of the Redeemers intervened before they did.
What's more, Liu Ming also has the great god Commander Hong behind him.
In the end, after reviewing all the directives issued during Liu Ming's mission, the Executive Committee had to take a step back and choose not to pursue it, but only symbolically punished him for writing a review summary.
I thought that this matter would end here, but what no one expected was that the retreat of the He'an base in the west of the bandit unexpectedly caused an uproar in the base.
I don't know who stabbed the loss of the bandits, but in just two days, almost all the professionals in the base knew about it, and there were many rumors that were exaggerated again and again in the process of circulation.
"Did you hear that? The base has a big fight with the Rescuers Guild in the south in the west of the bandits! ”
"You know that, too? It is said that it was a heavy loss, and none of the dozens of bronze rank professionals in the past survived, and only Director Liu escaped back. ”
"Wouldn't it, be so miserable?"
"What's more! I don't know where you got the news, but what I heard in the Black Rose Bar is that after the defeat of the base, they chose to swallow their anger and make no bottom line concessions to the Savior's Guild. Not only did he sign a treaty to permanently cede the bandits, but he also lost a lot of money! ”
"It can't be!"
"We have at least 1,500 He'an Guang Bronze Rank professionals, and the Salvation Guild is said to only have a few hundred Bronze Ranks, which is not even half of our masters, how dare you go against us?"
"Your news is too outdated, isn't it? What would the Guild of the Saviors not dare? They are plotting to annex He'an and dominate Anhui Province, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, and for this reason, they also formed a force called the Baishanhe Alliance. The number of masters that people can mobilize is no less than ours. If the base doesn't do anything again, I'm afraid it ......"
"The Guild of the Saviors is so strong? It's horrible. ”
All kinds of false and real, mixed with deliberately exaggerated rumors, caused a huge shock in the professional circle of the He'an base.
For more than a year since the end of the world, the He'an base has been the well-deserved boss of Anhui Province, and no one dares to fight them. This is the first time that a professional has mixed in to spread rumors, but it is not completely groundless fabrication, and the effect is outstanding!
You must know that the key to the survival of the He'an base in the last days and the suppression of hundreds of thousands of survivors is the more than 1,000 bronze masters. One can imagine how heavy the pressure on the top management will be once they waver in their hearts, even believe the rumors to be true, and feel dissatisfied with the weak concession of the He'an base.
Finding that the signs were wrong, the Executive Committee immediately took action, strictly prohibiting the spread of rumors, and at the same time asking Liu Ming, the director of the first place, and Ma Yuliang, who was in charge of reinforcements, to come forward to refute the rumors.
This timely action has had some effect.
But there are also a few key issues that they can't explain.
Among them, Liu Ming really gave some compensation to the people of the Rescuers Guild - although there were only a few pieces of equipment and 3,000 gold coins in total, not even mosquito meat.
Moreover, it is true that the people of the He'an base cannot enter the bandit at will.
Wu Xing and others, who infiltrated the base and pretended to take refuge, seized these two points, wantonly attacked the official to avoid the important and light, and deliberately tried to fool the failure of weakness and retreat, and almost deducted the hat of "losing power and humiliating the base".
Of course, if we talk about the first wave of rumors before, the base didn't realize that someone was doing something. At that moment, public opinion on refuting rumors reappeared, and the military of the base immediately reacted, and some forces were deliberately guiding public opinion and trying to muddy the waters!
If the executive committee is united, it is completely possible to mobilize all the forces of the base and investigate one by one at the expense of turbulence. Even if you can't catch someone, you can force the people behind the scenes to lie dormant temporarily, so that the rumors will stop as quickly as a source of water.
But the big base inherited from the old era has never been able to have a completely unified internal front.
Even if the He'an base is already good, with the great god Commander Hong in charge, it is impossible to completely eliminate infighting.
Within the executive committee, there were already a group of people who were dissatisfied with Liu Ming's compromise and general knowledge. They were overconfident in the strength of the He'an base, and they also seriously underestimated the strength of the Survivors' Guild; Or they know that the Survivors' Guild is already very strong, but they are afraid that they will continue to develop and threaten the status of the He'an base, and they want to selfishly suppress it in advance.
The two sides hit it off, not only did they not do their best to stop the spread of rumors, but they were happy to see it happen, and even secretly indulged!
With the help of rumors and the dissatisfaction of the circle of Bronze Rank professionals, this part of the radical faction managed to seize the initiative and convened an emergency meeting again!
