Chapter 357: Disbandment of the Qinglong Society and Settlement Time
Long travels around the world feeling proud and happy about his victory.
This battle seemed to be a fight for the right to kill a seriously injured and dying white dragon, but in fact, it was a turf war between the Azure Dragon Society and the Dragon Knights.
The Qinglong Society has been developing in Beiming Province. If it wants to further strengthen its strength, it must expand to other maps. Beiming Province is connected to Fengyin Province in the south and Longhua Province in the west, but Longhua Province is a big province and the former imperial capital. Therefore, the player forces are the most concentrated here. There are three guilds, the Aoao Niubi Empire, the First Dynasty, and the Former Alliance, which are fighting each other. Obviously, there is not much room for the Qinglong Society to get involved.
Therefore, the only option is to develop southwards, which will inevitably lead to a conflict of interest with the Dragon Knights.
Long Xiang also wanted to take over Beiming Province. On the one hand, he could expand his territory, and on the other hand, he could reduce future troubles. In the future, he could have his back to the north and the sea on his right, and concentrate on developing to the south and west to avoid being attacked from both sides.
It can be said that Bai Long was just an inducement. The real reason was that both sides wanted to further strengthen their strength and wanted to take over each other's territory.
Now that Qinglong will defeat Kuishu, Beiming Province will be within reach.
Just as he was thinking about how to establish branches in various towns in Beiming Province after the war, and who to arrange to be branch presidents, suddenly, a private message appeared in the chat bar.
Qingyunzhishang: President Longxingtianxia, it seems that you have won this battle after all.
(Hey, why is this guy contacting me?) Long Xingtianxia was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, he replied to the other party.
Dragon Walks the World: Thanks to the soldiers' sacrifice, do you know why you lost? Your men have no faith, your allies have no courage, and although you may seem to have a large number of people, you are nothing but a mob.
Qingyunzhishang: Haha, don't laugh at me, I know all this, and I had to do it because I had to. Maybe Yinyue Suifeng has told you that I was forced by the consortium behind me and had to fight. Now that you have won, I will lead the Qinglong Society to withdraw from Beiming Province. I think we can keep out of each other's way in the future, right?
Long Xing Tian Xia: Why do you think I won't kill them all? Long Xiang will expand his power on a large scale. With the victory of this battle, the players in Feng Yinzhou and Bei Mingzhou will all join my army. Why should I let you, a group of defeated generals, go and leave hidden dangers for myself?
Give me a reason not to destroy you.
Qingyunzhishang: Of course I know that the situation is in your favor now, but even though we lost and cannot defeat you, Long Xiang, we still have the ability to disgust you. If you are unwilling to negotiate peace, then I will break up our men into small groups and specialize in killing the small accounts that have joined Long Xiang. With the strength of my three brothers, it will be easy to avoid being caught. If you want to leave, you will definitely not be able to stop us. By that time, if we kill your small accounts every day, Long Xiang will not be able to develop.
Is this reason enough?
Long Xing Tianxia: You won't do that. If you kill too many small trumpets, won't you be unable to enter the city after becoming a red name? At that time, countless bounty hunters will come to hunt you down. You will never do that.
Qingyunzhishang: Of course I won’t do that, but I have the ability to do so, and that’s enough. Don’t push us too far, otherwise none of us will have an easy time.
Long Xing Tian Xia: Haha, okay, as long as the Qinglong Society withdraws from Beiming Province and does not become our Longxiang’s enemy in the future, this battle will be over, and we will keep out of each other’s way in the future.
Qingyunzhishang: That’s it.
Zhao Qingyun said as he exited the game and turned off the computer.
Looking at his depressed subordinates around him, he knew that his chance to dominate the world was completely gone. Although he was unwilling in his heart and wanted to take revenge, Zhao Qingyun knew that the real world was not a novel and he was not the protagonist. He did not have so many opportunities to change his fate, so he had to accept reality.
Now he must find a way to protect himself first.
He killed Liu Qiang, destroyed the Qinglong Society's foundation, and lost most of the mercenary troops. The board of directors will never let him go.
If we had won, everything would have been easy. We would have the people, the development, and the territory, and we could have negotiated with the board of directors with the resources at hand. But now, everything is over.
Fortunately, I prepared a plan B.
He stood up suddenly, walked up to the platform on the second floor, and looked down into the hall.
The players below also raised their heads and looked at Zhao Qingyun.
"Everyone, listen to me. Maybe you have already discovered it, or maybe you are still full of doubts about this game. Don't worry, today I will tell you the truth about this game!
This game..."
He told the truth about the game in detail.
The players below had different expressions. Some looked shocked, some were expressionless, and some were extremely indignant.
Zhao Qingyun didn't pause and started to distance himself from the matter.
"In the past, I had to force you to fight in the game. In fact, I had no choice. The board of directors behind me pushed us. I think you should also understand how much financial resources are needed to operate such a large base, and how powerful the forces behind it are.
Don't be fooled by my usual impressive appearance, I am actually just an employee. I must provide them with benefits to survive.
This war was forcibly launched by the board of directors in order to maximize the profits of the game. Otherwise, why would I have to fight on the battlefield? Even my two brothers died in the battle.
I'd had enough, so I killed Liu Qiang - he was the supervisor sent by the board of directors, and he was the one who forced me to start this war.
Those mercenaries are also dead. The board of directors will not let me go, let alone you—Ah Meow!”
I saw several staff members pushing in a cart filled with bundles of cash.
"Here is 100 million in cash. I promised you that you can get a huge reward as long as you play this game. I, Zhao Qingyun, always keep my words. Now come and collect your rewards!
Those of you who are still alive can take the money and leave. Each of you can get one million as compensation for your heroic battle.
Those who died in the battle can each get two million. You can choose to transfer the money to someone you know. I will arrange for someone to transfer the money for you. Sign up now while there is still time.
Afterwards I will leave this base. If anyone is willing to follow me, I welcome him/her. This time we will not have any bases, supervisors, or mercenaries. Anyone willing to fight with me is my good brother!
As long as you are still willing to believe in me, I will lead you to an unprecedented glorious future, and I will give you powerful strength!
Now, make your decision, everyone! "
Some players were really persuaded. Although Zhao Qingyun killed many people, he was still very caring towards the players on weekdays. After all, these players were the assets of the guild. The stronger the players were, the more powerful he would be as the president.
Therefore, he sincerely helps these players to improve their strength on weekdays, and he saves people every time he fights a BOSS.
When people heard Zhao Qingyun putting all the blame on Liu Qiang and the board of directors, some were really confused.
But more players were relieved and prepared to take the money and leave, but they looked at the mercenaries with some trepidation and did not dare to step forward.
The mercenaries were also at a loss. Their supervisor was dead, and most of their colleagues were killed by Liu Qiang. Now there were only a dozen of them left. They wanted to continue to maintain order in the base but they had no power.
But they can't escape blame for just watching the players being sent away.
Zhao Qingyun naturally also had arrangements for these mercenaries.
"Soldiers, you are just like me, doing your duty, so I won't make things difficult for you. You also have a share of the money here. Those who are willing to take the money can come forward, and those who are not willing can go back to your rooms and wait for the board of directors to take over the base. But I must warn you, the board of directors will not let me go, and they may not let you go either."
These words really worked. These mercenaries had all seen the dark side of the world and firmly believed in the evil of human nature. The board of directors might really kill them.
So they came forward to take the money. They didn't have so many concerns and just picked up a bundle of money and left.
Soon the mercenaries were gone, and the players no longer hesitated and came forward to get the money.
Some people also directly contact the staff to provide their family information and ask them to help transfer money. Even though the person is about to die, they at least want to transfer the money to their family.
Seeing the demobilization operation proceeding in an orderly manner, Zhao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
The mess was finally resolved smoothly.
As long as there is concern, these dead guys won't cause any trouble.
"Boss, are you really planning to leave?" Ah Gui asked with some sadness.
He still had some feelings for this base. He was originally a marginalized person in society, but accidentally became a member of this base and was chosen by Zhao Qingyun to work together. Thinking that he would die today, even the base would be abandoned.
"That's right, Ah Gui, Ah Kai, I miscalculated this time, but don't worry, as long as I can become an immortal, I can naturally find a way to revive you. Do you remember the immortal we met in the North Sea?
According to my research, he should be from Penglai Prefecture. Since we can't dominate the world, let's go to Penglai and try our luck. Just go there with peace of mind and wait for me to revive you." Ah Gui and Ah Kai looked at each other but didn't say anything. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, it was always good.
Zhao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two were his close friends whom he had promoted, no one could predict what people could do in desperate situations, so he had to give them hope.
Of course, he was not completely lying. He was indeed planning to go to Penglai Province. He couldn't stay in Beiming Province anymore, so he might as well try his luck on the sea.
At least when it comes to manipulating people's hearts, Zhao Qingyun is still quite capable.
In the end, seven people chose to follow Zhao Qingyun, including A Miao and A Fu, making exactly ten people.
Those players who chose to take the money and leave were sent out of the park, and each of them received one million.
Some sent money to their families and then chose to go back to their rooms and wait for death, while others left the base directly, determined to die outside.
There were even some people who were unwilling to believe what Zhao Qingyun said. They took the money and ran away, hoping that this was all just a scam.
Although he paid out more than 100 million yuan, Zhao Qingyun still kept a lot of money in his hands, and the activation codes of the dead players were also taken away by him.
Once these people die, these activation codes can be used again.
These activation codes are the real wealth.
It was certainly not Zhao Qingyun's kindness to send these living players away. On the one hand, it could resolve some potential threats. On the other hand, when these players returned to China, without these activation codes, it would be almost impossible for the board of directors to re-establish their power in the game.
At least I don't have to worry about being dealt with by the board of directors in the game.
As for the reality - Zhao Qingyun has already thought of a way out.
--------
Just as the Azure Dragon Society was disbanding, the Soaring Dragon Knights also cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew back to the city.
Long Xing Tian Xia asked everyone to disperse, and he himself, together with the guild leaders, began to calculate the contribution points of this battle within the guild.
The biggest contributor to this battle was undoubtedly Hongfu Qitian. It can almost be said that he single-handedly reversed the situation and saved the guild.
Especially using his magical powers to clear the clouds and reveal the sun to break the ice and snow storm was definitely the deciding factor in this battle.
So this one thing alone gave Hongfu Qitian an extra 200 points.
Destroying the altar single-handedly adds another 100 points, for a total of 300 points.
Although a lot of points were given, no one objected. After all, they risked their lives to come to the rescue. When the snowstorm came, everyone was almost in despair.
Xiao Jie led a group of seven people to destroy the first altar and the third altar, which was also considered a great achievement. However, since it was a group task, each of the seven people was rewarded 50 points.
Jiuxiao Huanpei and Qie Ting Longyin teamed up to kill Agui (Qie Ting Longyin counted as bait score), and each was rewarded 50 points. Qie Ting Longyin's thunder method destroyed the enemy's formation, killing a lot of casualties, and added another 50 points.
Although the person is dead, points still need to be given. You can arrange the inheritance issue while the person is still alive.
The same encounter also occurred with Tyrant Dragon, who, as the commander of the main phalanx, also scored 50 points.
In addition, I Want to Become an Immortal, Ba Tian Kuang Long, Zi Long Wushuang, and Yu Long Zai Tian worked together to kill the divine general Zhao Kai, and each of them was rewarded 50 points. Since I Want to Become an Immortal was the main contributor to keeping Zhao Kai alive, an additional 20 points were added.
Those mages all have their share of credit, and as long as the spells on the battlefield play an effective role, they will receive varying points rewards. After all, the mages are all in the back row and don't have many opportunities to kill the enemy, so the credit for casting the spells must be counted.
Moreover, the wizard himself must be a high-level talent and must be won over.
As for the players who killed the enemy players, they also had to calculate the points. Except for the core five-member team, the others were calculated according to their levels. 10 points were given to those below level 5, 10 points to those between levels 20 and 10, and 20 points to those between levels 30 and 20. 30 points were given to those above level 40, and there were extra points for magic professions...
Fortunately, there are battle records that can be checked to see how many people were killed and how much damage was caused. All you have to do is take a photo and send it to the data group.
Moreover, there are people recording the whole process, and the calculation of credit can also be supported by finding evidence in the video.
Xiao Jie looked at the score calculation and felt a little nervous. He had been traveling most of the day and missed the big team battle. He didn't know if he could keep his top spot.
Finally, the final scores are out.
Although Hongfu Qitian tried his best to turn the tide, he did not kill many people. In the end, his score was only 300 points for two merits, but he still got first place.
Xiao Jie didn't catch up with the battle and didn't kill many people. He only got 50 points for killing Liu Qiang and 50 points for destroying the altar. Fortunately, he saved 152 points from yesterday's reconnaissance operation, a total of 252 points, ranking second.
When Long Teng Si Hai attacked the enemy's main camp, he killed thirteen people in a row. Unfortunately, most of them were small-sized ones. Even with the 50 points of credit for breaking the enemy's formation, he only got 240 points, ranking third.
Xiao Jie directly skipped the people behind him and focused mainly on the people he knew.
Dragon Phantom scored 198 points, ranking sixth.
Enron scored 170 points, ranking ninth.
Both of them benefited from yesterday's action.
Ye Luo fared much worse, with only 110 points.
Haomie and Xiayi Wushuang killed many craftsmen and both received more than 100 points.
The Drunken Swordsman killed a bunch of small accounts, so even though he didn't have any special achievements, he still managed to get over 100 points.
Watching everyone's scores being gradually arranged, Xiao Jie was still able to accept it. Basically, everyone in his small circle had a lot of bonus points, and he still had a chance to get good things when he slayed the dragon tomorrow.
Although he only got second place, Dragon Balls are materials and their priority in demand should be lower than equipment, so he still has a high probability of getting them.
If it really doesn't work, I just need to inform Long Xing Tian Xia and Hong Fu Qi Tian, and it shouldn't be a problem.
Unlike him who was very nervous, other people didn't seem to care much about the score. Xiao Jie could understand this. No matter how good the things dropped by the dragon were, the quantity would be limited. It was estimated that only the top ten people would have a chance to get them, and the rest would just have to share some silver.
No matter how much money you have, it can never be as satisfying as the profits you get today.
The equipment dropped by killing people is much easier to get than defeating the BOSS.
Today's battle was a great pleasure for everyone. Even the small characters who came to make up the numbers were able to get a lot of blue and green equipment. The lucky ones could even pick up purple equipment in the chaos...
This is purple equipment, which is something you can’t even imagine getting on a normal day. It’s worth hundreds of millions.
Just like that, I got it.
There are even more other talismans, elixirs, silver and other things in huge quantities.
As a result, many people clamored that they would no longer fight BOSSes, and would just fight in guild wars when they had nothing to do, which was much more fun than fighting BOSSes.
This reaction made Long Xingtianxia very worried.
We still have to slay the dragon tomorrow. What will happen if everyone is full and don't want to continue fighting?
