Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Two Great Alliances
But Zhou Ming also made a mistake at this time, because including himself, among all the people present, the only one who had experience in leading a large group of mercenaries to fight was the national treasure, and he had a glorious record of leading fifty mercenaries to stir up the opponent's backyard in the new and old competition, but everyone present knew that it was actually impossible for the national treasure to organize the mercenary group that led the World Tree, so in the end, this proposal had to be temporarily shelved.
All the next matches on the first day were individual battles, and in individual battles, people like Zhou Ming "advertised" for the hunting group There are a lot of people, at the same time, some hunters who want to join a better hunting group also take this opportunity to show their most powerful tricks and advertise for themselves, many hunting groups and mercenary groups that intend to expand often send special personnel to pay attention to the competition in each arena at all times, and select outstanding students from them to win over in advance, but Zhou Ming and their numbers are really limited, and they can't pay attention to every arena, so they can only try to find some good hunters to pull together, but not to mention, although the number of their exercises cannot be compared with those big guilds that have been famous for a long time, there are still a lot of hunters who want to join, after all, Zhou Ming and others are not to say that they are famous, but after creating a miracle of protecting the hunting group's station from the hands of the Demon Soul Mercenary Group, the World Tree Hunting Group is now one of the most famous hunting groups in the entire academy, and many hunter freshmen would rather give up some of the advantages of the exercises and are willing to join the World Tree, just to create miracles as a member of the hunting group.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ming was watching the game on the sidelines, and a second-year hunter found him: "Captain Zhou Ming, Lord Regang hopes that you can attend the meeting that starts at two o'clock, if you are willing to participate, please come with me." ”
"Oh, okay. Zhou Ming hurriedly got up, this meeting was not ordinary, every decision in this meeting might affect the pattern of the academy guild ranking in a few months, so Zhou Ming didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and walked outside the arena with the hunters who came to pick him up.
Zhou Ming followed the hunters of Rashomon all the way back to Rashomon's station, the main building in the middle of the station was closed at this time, and there were four Rashomon mercenaries guarding the door, two teams of mercenaries were patrolling outside the house, and when they saw Zhou Ming and the two approaching, a small group of mercenaries immediately surrounded them.
"Stop, the main hall of the guild does not accept visits from foreign guests for the time being. The leader of the mercenary squad held the saber at his waist with one hand, and raised his other hand to signal Zhou Ming and the others to stop.
"This is Lord Zhou Ming, the leader of the World Tree Hunting Troupe, and I have brought him to the Alliance Conference on the orders of Lord Regang. The hunter who brought Zhou Ming took out an identity tag symbolizing his status from his bosom, which was engraved with the emblem of the Rashomon Guild.
"Please wait a minute, let's go and confirm. A mercenary behind the leader of the mercenary squad ran in the direction of the main hall, ran to the door, and passed a message to the guard mercenary at the door, and another of the guard mercenaries at the door turned around and walked to the main hall and knocked on the door, before walking into the house.
"The vigilance is really strict......" Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming couldn't help but become solemn. After a while, the guard mercenary came out again, beckoned to Zhou Ming, and signaled that he could enter.
"Then, Lord Zhou Ming, I can only send you here, and I will retire below. The Rashomon hunter who picked him up arched his hand to him, and when he lowered his head, he stuffed a note to Zhou Ming in Zhou Ming's surprised gaze, and then quickly turned around and left.
Zhou Ming opened the note quietly, and when he saw the words written on it, his face suddenly became solemn, because what was written on the note turned out to be a temporary resume: "Huang Da, second grade, lower four-star hunter, apply to join the World Tree Hunting Group." ”
"Has Rashomon really declined to the point where everyone is in danger?" With worry, Zhou Ming walked into the main hall, as soon as he entered the door, Lei Gang was already waiting inside, under the leadership of Lei Gang, Zhou Ming came to the second floor of the main hall, here, there were already three guild leaders who began to discuss, Zhou Ming gestured to a few people, and then chose the most marginal position to sit down.
Not long after Zhou Ming sat down, two more presidents came to sit down at the long table, and after everyone had arrived, Lei Gang came to the main seat and sat down, looked around with satisfaction, and then said:
"Since everyone is not familiar with each other, I will introduce you to each other first, and in the future, we will all be comrades in the same trench, and it is not okay not to know each other. Lei Gang stretched out his right hand and pointed at the guild leader closest to him, "This one should be familiar to everyone, the leader of the Red Dragon Mercenary Regiment, the man who inherited the nickname of the previous Red Dragon Leader's 'Fire Dragon', Yan Mu. ”
"This is the president of the White Tower Guild, the 'White Fox' Venus. ”
"This is the leader of the Green Vine Hunting Group, 'Vine Tiger' Zhan Zichao. ”
"This is the leader of the Blue Ocean Guild, 'Swordfish' Runiya. ”
"These four guilds are all subordinate guilds of our Rashomon, and the four of them are very familiar with each other, mainly to introduce them to the two of you. Regang continued, "These two are the leaders of the Bronze Mercenary Regiment and the World Tree Hunter Regiment, respectively, and they are also quite famous. ”
Everyone arched their hands to each other, which was considered to have known each other, and Regang, as the leader of the alliance, naturally presided over the next meeting.
"We have news from the inner line of the Demon Soul, just before we have this meeting, the thirteen mercenary guilds such as the Demon Soul and the Demon Eye are also having a meeting, and the content of the meeting is not even different from us, that is, to promote an alliance between the guilds. As soon as he came up, Regang threw out a bombshell news, "So, this time we are likely to be at an absolute disadvantage at the beginning of the war, and the other side has many more people participating in the war than us." ”
"If it is a head-on battle, our mercenaries have a hundred ways to defeat the same number of Demon Soul mercenaries, but the absolute difference in the number of the two sides will make our victory difficult, so today, in addition to hoping that everyone can form an alliance with Rashomon and fight against the Demon Soul together, there is another point, that is, I hope everyone can come up with more ideas and find ways to close the gap in numbers between our two sides. Regang posted a map of the Star Pole Royal Academy on the bulletin board at the front of the conference room, circled the stations of one guild present with a blue pen, and circled the thirteen guilds allied with the demon soul with a red pen.
"This is the current situation map, and the first thing we should do is to win over these guilds that have not yet stood in line. Regang took out another yellow pen and circled out the guilds, hunting groups and mercenary groups that had not yet taken refuge in any party, "Everyone will go to the guild that is closer to them first, and I will arrange people to go to the rest of the guilds." ”
"Lord Reigan. "Zhou Ming raised his hand, and everyone looked at him, in the eyes of others, he was just an inexperienced rookie leader, and in this kind of important conference, he had no right to speak, but Zhou Ming had the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and still said to himself," You should have heard of my situation to some extent, Shi Ningsheng has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, so I have a certain understanding of this guy, my point of view is that with his character, he will not win over these guilds at all, but before starting a decisive battle with us, he will eat away at these small guilds, with the strength of these small guilds, it is impossible to form effective resistance at all, so during the period of cannibalization and annexation of these small guilds, the strength and financial resources of the demon soul will not only not decline, but will also rise rapidly, and when we negotiate with two or three guilds, they have already annexed all the remaining guilds, and so on, the gap between our two sides is only getting bigger. ”
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he looked around at everyone present, and found that everyone didn't speak, but they all put away their disdain for him. [End of Chapter]
