Chapter 167: Gateless Hell (7)
Far away from Eden Village, far away from the sand dunes of the Guild Camp area to be exact, there was a figure practicing. He wielded his shield in his left hand and swung his sword in his right, each stroke of which was smooth and vigorous.
Li Mengxi stood on the top of the sand dunes and quietly admired it for a while, then walked along the backbone of the sand dunes while applauding.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Hearing the voice, the person's movements stopped abruptly, he retracted himself and stood up straight, and then turned to face Li Mengxi, who was walking straight away, it was none other than Richard Alphons, the leader of one of the four major guilds, "Oberisque".
"Long time no see, mybrother!"
Calling happily, Richard also opened his arms, strode up to meet him, and then gave Li Mengxi a warm hug without saying a word.
In this regard, although Li Mengxi is not used to it, Richard is very kind, and he just needs to hug it back.
"Bang bang bang!"
After Richard patted Li Mengxi's back hard, he finally let go of him contentedly.
"I'm so happy to see you're safe and sound. Having said that, it only took less than two weeks to open up a group copy with four bosses, and one of the bosses is still a tricky combination, worthy of Mybrother!"
"There, there, it's all everyone's work. Li Mengxi said with some embarrassment.
"In my opinion, half of the credit for a successful strategy is to have the right tactics. So, mybrother, you're so humble!"
"Not modest, not modest!"
After the greetings, Li Mengxi put away his smile and became serious.
"Well, the other day, Naine wanted to talk to Miss Romania, but was blocked outside the camp by Fujido, saying that it was your order. ”
"That's right, it's my instructions. ”
"I'll forget it, is it necessary for Nayin?"
"It's not a question of necessity, it's a question of helplessness, mybrother. The guilds already suspect that I intend to help you get involved in this joint strategy, and I'm the de facto leader of the alliance. In this case, it's not just that you and I can meet in public, but that all of us in both families can't meet at will. By the way, I heard that you've started to woo the guild leaders of various guilds?"
"Not bad. It started before you came, and now I can only do my best. ”
Hearing this, Richard groaned for a moment.
"Honestly, how do you feel about them?"
"It's hard to say, but everyone has their own reasons for becoming guildmasters. I learned a lot from it. Moreover, many of them don't have a clear intention of fighting against the four guilds, do you have to go toe-to-toe with them?"
"As you should know, Mybrother, the guildmaster is the decision-maker, not the dictator. Some things are not something that the guildmaster can do just as he thinks. Like, I really want to have a face-to-face conversation with you and Miss Hinata as usual, but the position I am in and the atmosphere around me make me helpless to give that kind of instruction. The atmosphere of confrontation with the four guilds remains unchanged, and-for-tat confrontation is inevitable. ”
"But you and Duke have been delaying and letting the conflicts between the guilds ferment, and I don't think it's right to do so. You don't want them to be against you, can you just watch them against each other?"
"Divide them so that they cannot unite under a banner of their own, so that we can control the situation. ”
"I understand, but ......"
"Of course I know it's not right!" Richard became excited, "But what can I do! I have been doomed to this situation since the first level boss of the four guilds! To be honest, it's all because of you, my brother!"
"Me?"
"The first raid was actually initiated by you. Then, it was you who came up with the idea to let us make the then-exclusive copy public to divert the attention of others. ”
"But I'm ......"
"Of course I remember, you were there to benefit all the combat crews. But, in fact, they didn't see anything else than the 'diversion'. And it was this incident that planted the impression that the four major guilds suppressed others. Even so, if you stand with us from the beginning, and go and form a guild like you do now, find some companions, and become a part of the force, instead of being a crazy person and disappearing the day after the celebration to spend a year being a lone hero, and then only going to do odd jobs, you must have the right way to defuse the situation, I believe that! But what about you? You didn't do anything, and sometimes I even think you don't know what you want to do? So, now, don't tell me what is right or not!"
"You're saying I'm to blame for all this?"
"That's not what I meant!" Richard slammed his shield and then looked ashamed and helpless, "I mean, you've got to help my brother." ”
"If I hadn't wanted to help you, Richard, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing. But, as you said, how can a person who doesn't know what he wants to do decide the fate of others?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that to be your face, mybrother. Alas...... I know I shouldn't say that, but I want to give you one last chance to choose whether to be on our side or on theirs. If you choose the former, I will do whatever it takes to deliver on my previous promises. But if you choose the latter...... Truth be told, my brother, I don't want to conflict with you, for whatever reason. ”
"Thank you, Richard. Although Nayin always says that I don't have friends, you are my friend. Still, I'd go with the latter. ”
Hearing this, Richard breathed a long sigh of relief.
"In that case, there is one last question. ”
"What?"
"Mybrother, are you really, the strongest of all players. ”
......
The next morning, the members of the four guilds joined forces to set up an extraordinarily large tent at the southern end of the camp area, which was the venue for the meeting of the leaders of the Raiders Alliance, which was finally decided.
Without further ado, the meeting opened in the afternoon of the day the conference venue was set up. It's not abrupt at all, everyone has been preparing for this day for a long time.
In addition to the presidents of the fifteen guilds, there is also an "uninvited guest" Li Mengxi.
At least no one had any problem with his attendance, but rather that the main purpose of the meeting was to discuss their group. However, as a non-member of the alliance, he was not officially invited, so there was no chair for Li Mengxi in the venue.
He could only stand in the center of the semicircle of fifteen tables, bearing the gaze of the defendant as if he were a defendant.
In the quiet venue, only Li Mengxi's voice echoed calmly, explaining the reasons why he should join this alliance: first, they worked hard to find the key prop, ice crystal chalcedony, and second, the strategy had not yet begun, and in fact, there was no problem of "leaving home halfway" at all.
Immediately after his remarks, the presidents began to exchange ideas on their feet. However, at this moment, Richard, who was sitting in the chair, coughed loudly.
"Ahem!" Immediately, the venue returned to silence. "We don't need you like this, what he said has long been 'full of wind and rain', and I believe your opinions have been exchanged for many days. In that case, I'll first talk about the opinions of our four guilds......"
At this point, Richard and Li Mengxi stared at each other.
"I feel sorry, my friend. However, please leave the ice crystal chalcedony behind and leave here with your people. ”
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the venue was in an uproar. Because, everyone predicted in advance that Richard would support Li Mengxi to join, rather than rejecting it. So far, what is this reality?
And the key is, how should they choose? If the opinions of the four guilds are "strongly supporting" them, they only need to oppose them, but the four guilds are actually "opposing", then should they "oppose" according to the original plan, or should they "oppose" according to the situation?
According to the original plan, it was to go along with the four guilds on the surface, but if they oppose it in the current situation, who can guarantee that this is not the goal of the other party?
For a time, most of the eleven presidents were in confusion, but they gradually made up their minds.
"What Li Mengxi said makes sense, they should join. ”
"You're funny in the head! Leave things behind, they're gone!"
"When did you breathe out of one nostril with the four major guilds!
"Shut up! You're the one who was bought by this kid! Don't think I knew you met a few days ago!"
"You seem to have eaten with him, right? If he is bought, what are you? If you take the money and don't do anything, you might as well be bribed!"
......
"Smack!" a clapping voice interrupted everyone's words, and everyone's eyes naturally turned to Richard.
"Let's vote. However, it was Li Mengxi who spoke, which made Richard inevitably speechless for a while, "There are fifteen presidents participating in the alliance, and there are eleven more people from the four major guilds whose opinions have been determined. ”
Hearing this, the heads of the presidents nodded in their ears.
"What do you want to do, mybrother?"
"I'm just proposing a simple and clear solution. ”
"You ......"
"Do as he says. Duke Edlaide on the side suddenly interjected, and at the same time moved his eyes at Richard, who noticed that the other guildmasters had stopped communicating and looked at him as the alliance leader.
Seeing this, Richard gritted his teeth and said rather dejectedly: "Then you can vote, secret ballot." ”
Immediately, the eleven presidents simply voted on it. For the sake of fairness, the paper was provided by Richard, and the public vote was performed by Huang Helai, the president of the "Twilight Lin".
Eleven tickets, ten were read quickly, seven "stay", three "leave", counting the decisions of the four major guilds, it happened to be a seven-on-seven tie. The key is in the last ticket.
At this time, as Huang He slowly unfolded the last piece of paper, everyone became nervous.
Looking at the piece of paper in his hand, Huang He hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
"Blank. As he spoke, he tossed the paper in his hand and let it shatter into shreds. At this moment, Li Mengxi closed his eyes and sighed.
"Blank!"
"Who voted for this!"
"Isn't that a mess!"
"Re-pitch!"
"Don't re-invest. Richard let out a heavy voice, "Since this method doesn't work. Then let's change to a more immediate one. ”
"What?" Li Mengxi asked.
"Duel, win, you stay. Lose, something stays, you go. ”
"Win or lose, your four guilds won't suffer. I'm going to go up!"
"Add what?"
"Win, I'll stay, plus you will hand over the information on the dungeon strategy so far, including tactics, staffing, etc., to the Hatsuha Morning Post for publication. ”
Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar again. If the four guilds could really make all of this public, then they would be able to catch up with the big gap immediately. How could Richard not know this.
"Do you know the value of this information?"
"I don't know if I don't add that. ”
"In that case, let's add one too, otherwise it won't be an equivalent exchange. ”
"Add what?"
"The two swords on your waist, 'Ten Thousand Laws Will Be Broken-Haotian'. ”
"Hmph. Even if I wanted to give it to you, unfortunately this kind of equipment cannot be transferred, discarded, or destroyed. ”
"But it can be like this...... I'll prepare a container that belongs to me first, you put the gun in it, as soon as the lid is closed, you won't want to take it out again in your life without my permission. How, dare you?"
In this way, Li Mengxi hesitated somewhat, but finally raised his head and said loudly: "Dare!"
