Chapter 39: Undercurrent

"Zi Ri. Where are you?"

"Sumi? When did you go online?"

"Just just now, I heard you have recruited some people to do intelligence work?"

"Yeah. I just asked. Do you have any plans?"

"I heard that you have joined them all in the guild, and I don't think this is great."

"Why?"

"Because once you join the guild it's easy to be recognized by others, and it may be inconvenient for them to sneak into guilds that are hostile to us."

"I know this is inconvenient, but I can't command it if I don't join the guild! And it's not easy to do with our equipment or something?"

"You guys come back first, I know a way. I used this method before when I was in Baihua League."

"Okay then!" Switch the voice to the secret channel: "All attention, now return to Aisinger."

Everyone immediately unfolded the scroll back to the city when they heard the order. When we returned to Aisinger, Sumi was already waiting for us. "You are finally back, are the new people behind?"

"Yeah." I nodded: "Didn't you say there is a good way, right?"

Su Mei nodded immediately and said, "Open the guild function interface and set the options so that people around you can see."

I immediately opened the settings list and set it to visible mode. People around me were shocked to see the list. The huge interface was full of dense selections, and each option had a lower-level directory. Su Mei was immediately stunned when she saw this interface. "Why are there so many things in our guild interface?"

"What's wrong? Isn't the interface of Baihua League like this?"

"Of course this is not the case. When I saw it, there was not much on it. Did you get this later revision and upgrade?"

"No, it has been like this since the city was established, probably because our guild has too many things!"

"Forget it, I'll look for it!" I used this interface alone. Except for Rose, no one knew what this interface looked like. The guild operations of Eagle and Red Moon are based on the position of Vice President. They don't have many of the functions on me, so my this is the most complicated operation interface in the guild.

Su Mei looked at it for a long time and then pointed to the control button on the interface: "That guild force."

I tapped the operation button and a new interface appeared and stacked in front of the original interface. Su Mei said in surprise: "Why are there so many lower-level directories?"

"It is normal for our guild to operate so big, and it is very complicated. Without Aisinger, our guild had 7 keys in total, and one of them was to exit!"

"Or won't use many guild functions. It turns out that you can't find them! It seems that you were wronged before!"

"Long live understanding!"

"Don't feel it here."

Follow Sumi's requirements, I quickly found the function to use. Although the operation interface of our guild is relatively complicated, the location of the specific function is the same as that of other guilds, but there are too many keys to find it.

Su Mei pointed to the interface and said, "Did you see this? It's most suitable to use this, so it's convenient to command and will not be discovered."

I looked carefully at the function Sumi said. "Affiliated Guild? What is this?"

"It is considered an alliance, but there are many differences with alliances in the guild relationship setting. Alliances are a kind of cooperation based on balance of strength. Although affiliated guilds are also cooperation, there is often a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Just organize these intelligence personnel into a new guild and then set it up as affiliated guilds of our guild."

"Then how can I command?"

Su Mei explained: "The protection guild, that is, the president of our Frost Rose Alliance, can hear the guild channel of the affiliated guild at any time, and can also speak in it. Isn't it possible to command?"

"What about other aspects? For example, funding or something?"

"Affiliated guilds have many benefits. First, affiliated guilds are politically independent, that is, we are hostile to a certain guild, and our affiliated guilds are not affected by this, and even if they enter the other party's territory, they will not be attacked. If the other party wants our affiliated guilds to be unable to enter their territory, they must also set our affiliated guilds to be hostile. Second, affiliated guilds receive a 7% bonus within the sphere of influence of the guilds they depend on. Third, affiliated guilds can obtain a special residence in the city of the attached guilds and receive the same protection."

“What about the disadvantages?”

"The disadvantages basically have no impact on us. For example, affiliated guilds are not allowed to build their own cities. Anyway, we don't need them to expand their territory. If they don't build them, they don't build them. There are also affiliated guilds who have to take care of their own funds. They are our departments anyway. Would you not give money? There are also affiliated guilds that pay protection fees to the dominant guilds. Isn't this equal to none of us? You just need to set the protection fee to zero? Others are similar restrictions, but they have no practical significance, because this is what our guilds are divided, not guilds established by outsiders. Originally, this affiliated guild function is equivalent to a ruling relationship, which is very unfair to small guilds and is oppressive, but the department you established yourself has a sign of affiliated guilds, and you don't write any rules casually?"

I thought about it and said, "This thing is good, but I seem to think this function has more uses besides this spy department."

“Big bigger use?”

"Yes. In the future, we can collect a large number of other guilds as our affiliated guilds. We only need to collect protection fees. In the future, if we want to expand the scale, we can directly merge the affiliated guilds into our guilds. How convenient is it?"

"Is it a little dark?"

"This is called fair trade. There is nothing wrong with it. Tell Rose about my plan and let her design it. I also need to quickly establish this affiliated guild."

Sumi's suggestion is really good. I didn't know that I could also establish an affiliated guild before. It's all because our guild interface is too messy and I can't find many practical functions! I told Granite about this matter and asked them to collectively apply for withdrawal. I asked them to request one by one. If I had known it, I wouldn't have to add them one by one! After all, Granite was the president of the guild to establish a new guild, which was called the Eye of Hell. Anyway, we Aisinger originally had an Eye of Hell. However, I did not let these 860 people join the Eye of Hell, but only 600 of them formed the Eye of Hell. The remaining 260 people were reorganized and a guild named "Volute Fang", which was responsible for a captain named Saber. Later, the Eye of Hell was responsible for intelligence work, and the part that needed force was completed by the Eye of Hell.

Set the Eye of Hell and the Orange of the Vengeance to our Guild, and set all the places where certain conditions are required to be set to zero. The affiliated Guild cannot use our standard equipment, and even the Guild Guardians cannot be used. This is probably the biggest trouble. In terms of equipment, I plan to collect it from the people in the Guild by purchasing it. If there is no suitable one, I will buy it from outside, but the Guardians may not be able to handle it. After all, it is not so easy to find a guardian beast.

After the makeover, we returned to Goddess City. The last time we came here to collect information, Su Mei called back and started again. After changing the guild signs and outfits, we would not be recognized even when we walked on the road. The target of this inquiry was the Temple of Light in Goddess City. Ren Jiu would definitely come here with a token to cash in. I want to see if I can investigate what I can prevent the Temple of Light from sending troops.

After scattering everyone out, I waited in a restaurant diagonally opposite the temple. As long as Ren Jiu wanted to enter the temple, he would be discovered immediately. The people of Hell Eyes were scattered, some were scattered in the Goddess City, some went to the Elf City of the Qingcao League to continue collecting intelligence, and some were sent by me to track down the mysterious man. This time, there was no identity restriction, and their reconnaissance mission could be completed more smoothly.

I received a report after sitting in the restaurant less than ten minutes. A member of the Hell Eyes found the mysterious man in Yaori City. What made me feel bad was that Yaori City is the main city of the Shadow Dancer, the Light Alliance. Speaking of which, there are more cities in the Light Alliance than our guild. According to Feng Yinpiaomiao, there will be thirteen cities of all sizes in this guild, but the 13 cities together have only two Aisinger's area. However, this shows that these cities are not small, because Aisinger is too huge. The area of ​​the two Aisinger is divided into 13 cities, and these 13 are definitely large cities.

Yaori City is about one-third the size of Aisinger, and it is also considered a super city. Unlike Aisinger, although the development direction of Yaori City is a war fortress, it is not closed. This city allows outsiders to enter and exit. Our people discovered a mysterious person when collecting intelligence here.

The scout followed the guild hall in the center of the city. After the mysterious man entered, the guard outside immediately stood attentively to salute. It seemed that this guy was the leader of the guild. Our people walked around and slipped into the conference hall from behind, and then found the mysterious man in a room. Through the video private chat, I could see the situation in the room, but because our spy was hanging upside down on the eaves with tools, the pictures were all reversed!

The guy was still facing the camera. He took off his helmet and started taking off his armor. There were two people opposite him. One of them said: "President, I think Zi Ri is not a good person. Can we not get into such a thing?"

The other one immediately said: "Xiaofeng is right, I don't agree. This purple sun is a disaster star, so it's better for us to touch it less."

The mysterious man who took off his armor turned around and picked up another set of equipment from the table and started wearing it. I recognized this guy at a glance. "Shadow Dancer! This is the boss of the Light League of Light. I took out a set of magical artifacts by me during the last guild competition. He threatened to take revenge at that time, but he didn't expect that he was looking for opportunities to take revenge on me!"

The shadow dancer who had put on his armor turned to the two people and said, "Don't say it anymore, I have decided on this matter. You might as well think more about how to defeat the Frost Rose Alliance when you have time. Okay, I have something to do, let's talk about it later!" As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the room, the remaining two people looked at each other and sighed.

Our spy returned to the roof and climbed to the window behind. He turned around and entered the corridor on the second floor of the guild headquarters when people were not paying attention. I could see it clearly through the video, but the professionals were different.

The spy walked forward along the corridor, and suddenly he heard the sound of the door opening. A room in the corridor opened and a player came out of it. I thought it was going to be exposed this time, but I didn't know that he just walked over indifferently. When he was wrong with the man, he nodded indifferently. The other party also nodded to say hello, and walked over without asking anything. He is really a master!

After the corridor was gone, our spy turned into the room. It seemed like a document room. The spy quickly opened the document block on the table, and then went to find the files on the cabinet. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door, and quickly put the documents on the cabinet, turned around and stepped on the cabinet and put them on the roof. He supported the corner of the wall with his hands and stuck it on the roof like a gecko. The guy who had just left came in, took a document from the cabinet next to him and ran out. The spy jumped and landed lightly, flipped over the cabinet, and was all worthless. He opened the door a small gap and confirmed that there was no one outside and then returned to the corridor.

I wandered around for a long time and searched several rooms in a row. The information was not found, but I picked up a technical information. The Light Alliance has a large siege weapon code-named Qunxing. It seems that it is still in the research stage, but it is almost completed. Since I saw it, I can't stay. I asked the spy to bring it out. Even if they have backups, at least we have the same weapon.

After confirming that there was nothing to collect, I asked the spy to leave there first. From beginning to end, more than twenty people saw the spy, but no one found out that he was not from their guild. After all, the general guild does not have the uniform clothing of our guild, and the guild badges are so small. Besides, no one can remember that it would be a spy when encountering people in this kind of place, so our spy was so easy to follow this secret, and no one knew about it.

After successfully leaving the station of the Alliance of Light, I asked the spy to send the information back to Aisinger first, and mobilized more than a hundred spies from the surrounding area to focus on this side. I believe that Ren Jiu's revenge plan must be related to them this time.

Although the intelligence work in Yaori City has gained a lot, we have not gained anything at all in the garrison of Goddess City. Instead, we went to the Elf City to collect intelligence to inform me first that we didn’t have to squat here. That damn token was not to borrow soldiers from the Central Temple, but to take them directly to any Temple of Light to borrow soldiers. When I was squatting here, the 200,000 army had already headed to the Elf City, and we were still waiting here!

The granite just finished reporting, and on the other hand, I arranged for the Eye of Hell in Yaori City, also reported that 200,000 troops were opened from the Temple of Light in Yaori City. Our guild built the chaos in the Temple of Order, and the Alliance of Light is a guild supporting the Temple of Light, and there is a Temple of Light in their city. Compared to Renjiu who had to borrow soldiers from nearby cities, the shadow dancer could just call out the troops in his own city.

I quickly issued an order to the spy who was guarding Yaori City: "Look at all those who entered and left Yaori City, and pay special attention to whether there are any Japanese inside. This guild can get along with Renjiu, probably because it is because it is known to know Japanese people. I don't believe that this good opportunity is not going to take the opportunity to intervene."

"I understand, we will stare at every suspicious person coming in and out."

There were spies in both cities staring at me, so I could get out and go back to Aisinger first. But as soon as I arrived at Aisinger, I received another message. Our spies found that not only these two guilds were participating in the battle. Our spies found that the Shadow Dancer left Yaori City and followed him. As a result, they found that he had contacted several guild people, and the content of the discussion was related to us. He used various methods, including bribery, to let these guilds declare war on us with them, and strive to bring us down at once.

The opinions of the shadow dancers and the reactions of these guilds are different. We refuse some guilds who don’t want to offend us, and some guilds are more moved by the wealth of our guilds. As a result, many guilds are pulled into this team. According to this result, what we have to face is definitely not a simple thing.

According to the collected intelligence statistics, there were about 400 guilds that participated in this operation, and we didn’t know what we hadn’t collected. After roughly calculating, the total number of people in these guilds was about 1.5 million, and the players’ combat power was generally greater than that of NPCs at the same level. Including those people’s magic pets, this force is probably comparable to the last battle of the Temple of Light. During the last battle, there was support from the Temple of Darkness and the Dragon Clan. Now we have completely fallen out with the Temple of Darkness and the Dragon Clan are back to Dragon Island. We have to deal with it ourselves!

The shadow dancer seemed to have no intention of stopping. Since leaving Yaori City, he has been constantly lobbying the guilds between cities to participate in this action. Many guilds were still hesitating at the beginning, but as more and more guilds joined, those guilds that were originally afraid of failure gradually became bolder.

"Zero" was developed and operated by Longyuan, and it is definitely the most popular in its country. There are currently nearly 600 million players in China, and there are 400 million people in addition to non-combat professions. Even if one percent of these 400 million people participate in this battle, there are 4 million people. Even if these people are at level 500, they can make us lose our skin!

After I got the news, I quickly consulted Rose and the others and told everyone about the matter first, and everyone was shocked.

Hongyue suggested: "They asked for help, why can't we do it? I'll go and invite my brother to help. How come the Reed Blood Alliance is still the largest guild in China."

Ying grabbed Hongyue and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's definitely necessary to ask someone for help, but you have to discuss it first."

Su Mei also said: "I agree with Brother Eagle. The condition for the shadow dancer to pull people is to divide the fixed assets of our guild after victory. What should we ask for help?"

Ziyue asked: "Can't we divide the Light Alliance?"

Eagle shook his head: "At least, there are so many big cities and thousands of fleets that can be divided up in our guild. What do they have? People will not be willing to send troops for that little thing. They will not be willing to bet on big profits. No one will be willing to participate."

Rose said: "It is definitely necessary to recruit people, but not everyone needs it. Soldiers are more expensive than elites. The Hot Blood Alliance and the Iron Crusader are both good choices. We have a good relationship, so it should be enough to give some benefits and compensate others for their consumption afterwards. Other guilds need to be carefully considered. If you don't pull a traitor in, you will be unlucky!"

"When it comes to traitors, don't you think we can use it?" Sumei said.

"You said we also arranged for people to pretend to participate in the Shadow Dancer's plan and then caught them off guard from behind?"

Sumi shook her head: "I mean the Japanese side."

"In the Japanese side?" I suddenly realized. "You said Ling Yuan Chuan?"

Sumi nodded: "Although they were asked to develop Leichuan City in Japan to support our economic development, it would be good to get some benefits this time. You said that the shadow dancers may attack our city with the Japanese, so there will be no one in the local guilds in Japan. Wouldn't it be great to take the opportunity to purge a few cities?"

"No." Mei Gui shook her head: "Leichuan does not have this combat power, and they will play the role of front-line businessmen in the future. The credibility is very important. It is better for them to enter this plan too early. At present, it is better for them to perform more detachedly. On the contrary, Zi Ri's opinion is relatively good, but it is not a siege and counterattack with them, but a direct way to get rid of the firewood and eternal troubles."

"Maybe you've all made things complicated." Womah suddenly spoke, which scared us. She rarely spoke every time she discussed tactical affairs. Chinese people are better at planning and strategy. Germans are not very suitable for planning, but because of their personality, Womah thought of a plan that no one expected. "We can do this." Womah was stunned by this. "What do you think?"

The general paused for a long time before speaking: "Different ethnic groups have different ideas. Although this plan is a little direct, I believe that Chinese players will not think of this plan. A strategy is a good plan only if others cannot think of it. I think that's what I do."

Since the experts have spoken, we are not good at opposing anything. None of the people here have participated in formal military command training, and the general is a famous general of the generation. Since he is optimistic, it should be good, and we think it is really good.

Although the plan is special, the basic preparation work is still the same. The first task is to try to find some partners to help. No matter how good the plan is, someone must participate! Of course, Hongyue is going to contact him. Ying also said that he knew the presidents of several major guilds and wanted to contact him as a traitor. Shura Ziyi said that she wanted to go to the Northern Alliance to see if she had any hope to help them. We just gained a foothold in the United States and it is not suitable for asking for help. I will go to Germany by myself, but Womao said that there were some partners in the Women's Alliance before, and now I want to see if I can get some help.

After the plan was completed, everyone dispersed to complete their own tasks. After Woma and I arrived in Tianyu City together, we acted separately. Woma went to contact the guild I knew before, and I went to find Ashufude. What surprised me was that Ashufude actually came to Tianyu City. I was about to enter the teleportation array, but he came out first.

"Well? Zi Ri? Such a coincidence? Where are you going?"

"It's a coincidence. I was about to go find you, but you ran over by yourself."

"I'm here to find you too."

"Then let's find a place to sit down and talk."
To be continued...
