Luo Sen exchanged pleasantries for a bit, nodded greetings to so Guild leaders he often interacted with, and then found a seat towards the back to sit down. Luo Sen was naturally cautious and didn't seek the lilight like Lei Zhengang. As one of the three major powers, he actually chose a seat even further back than so minor Guild leaders. However, he preferred this position, where he could get a feel for the entire situation. Glancing around, he silently matched up the attendees with their respective Guilds. Hmm, aside from the Qingyang and the Ancestral Dragon, it looked like all the other powers had already arrived. Considering the recent situation in the ga, even though the eting's the wasn't specified, it wasn't hard to imagine. Looking at the people present, there was indeed a sense of the coalition of the eighteen warlords against Dong Zhuo.
However, if they really were to struggle against these two great powers, they had to consider security issues. With this in mind, Luo Sen asked, "Old Liu, is this place safe?"
Before Xuan Zhenzi could reply, Lei Zhengang hastily took the opportunity to say, "Old Luo, speaking of safety, you're probably the safest one here. Look at the large group of people you've brought with you. I'd wager they could take down a city with you right now, and you're worried about safety?"
It was a joke. The individuals Luo Sen brought along seed to be the heads from Qilin Hall; their dazzling equipnt was enough to blind the attendees. So Guild leaders present, whose strength was slightly inferior, didn't even have gear as fancy as theirs.
Luo Sen heard this and didn't show any displeasure; instead, he had an expression of 'I'm the local tyrant, so what'.
After Lei Zhengang finished speaking, Xuan Zhenzi then said, "Rest assured, this place is absolutely secure. I've cast a magical barrier here several days ago. The only way to enter the eting room is through the entrance you all ca in. There are experts guarding the door, and no transportation spells, including the Invisibility Technique and other spells, will work within this room, so there's no need for worry."
Upon hearing Xuan Zhenzi's assurance, everyone visibly relaxed and Luo Sen nodded in satisfaction.
However, the attendees didn't know that on Xuan Zhenzi's attendance list, there was still one person who hadn't arrived. Xuan Zhenzi noticed this but did not ntion it, fearing it would cause panic. So, after waiting for a while and assuming the person decided not to co, Xuan Zhenzi announced, "Let's officially start then."
"I believe you all know why I've gathered you here today," Xuan Zhenzi's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the room could hear him clearly, "Recently the ga hasn't been very peaceful. Ancestral Dragon has been abusing its strength to attack small nations everywhere. I presu many of you have already clashed with Ancestral Dragon, yes? Moreover, to my knowledge, several small nations established by Solo Players have been defeated and absorbed. If we let this go on, before long, the power of the Ancestral Dragon will beco sothing none of us can handle. Instead of fostering a potential threat, it is better to eliminate it as soon as possible. That's why I've called everyone here today, to discuss a plan to deal with Ancestral Dragon."
"Not just Ancestral Dragon, right?" A Guild leader from a small nation suddenly said aloud, interrupting Xuan Zhen's speech.
Xuan Zhenzi turned to look at the speaker, who stood up from his chair: "The Qingyang Empire, too, has been excessive. They've already conquered a few small nations. My own city was taken by them two days ago, and now I only have two cities left. They'll probably make their move soon. Instead of worrying about sothing so far in the future, it's better if you could worry about right now." His words also resonated with a few Guild leaders seated nearby, who were closer to Qingyang's expansion and faced a more imdiate threat from Ancestral Dragon.
"I'm already aware of Qingyang's issue and have thought of a solution. We'll discuss it later," Xuan Zhenzi didn't let the speaker sway the topic and cald him first. In fact, he had invited Xiao Buli to the eting for this reason. If everyone could reach a consensus on an alliance during the eting, then Qingyang would naturally beco an ally, and the issue of attacking or not attacking would beco moot. But as Xiao Buli was not yet present, Xuan Zhenzi did not want to raise any more complaints, so he refrained from speaking openly.
Lei Zhengang nodded in agreent, "Right, we have to address the biggest problem we face first. Ancestral Dragon is not only nurous and powerful, but those folks have also got hold of a bunch of guns and artillery. Getting hit with a shell can cause thousands of points of damage, sothing you can't block. I had a fight with Ancestral Dragon a few days ago and lost dozens of n. Old Luo, you must have suffered so losses too."
When Lei Zhengang brought this topic up again, it refocused everyone's attention back on Ancestral Dragon.
Luo Sen rely gave a faint smile when he heard Lei Zhengang's question but said nothing.
Continuing, Xuan Zhenzi said, "Given Ancestral Dragon's rate and scale of expansion, it's clear they want to conquer both big and small territories. If we don't co together, there won't be any hope for us. Only by uniting do we stand a chance."
Unexpectedly, Luo Sen shook his head and said, "I think that even if we join forces, our chances are slim. Ancestral Dragon has imnse real-world strength, and gentlen, did you know they now have Demon Clan soldiers in the ga?"
As soon as Luo Sen spoke, those sitting down were imdiately taken aback.
"Demon Clan?"
"How could that be possible."
Although players could join the Demon Clan, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to control the Demon Clan in this ga.
"Old Luo, who told you that?" Lei Zhengang asked.
"Who told ? My spy saw it with his own eyes." Luo Sen, unlike Lei Zhengang who ca from a bandit background, was more of a perfectionist in his approach. As a result, the various functional departnts within Qilin Hall had clear-cut responsibilities and executed their tasks with great efficiency.
"I suspect that the Ancestral Dragon might have made so kind of agreent with the Demon Clan in the ga, which ans that we would be unable to fight it... either in reality or in the ga..." Luo Sen continued, but was suddenly interrupted by Lei Zhengang.
"Old Luo, that doesn't sound like you at all. With so many of us working together, we surely have the strength for a fight. We haven't even fought yet, and you're already undermining our own morale. That doesn't seem right."
Luo Sen didn't get angry when he heard this, but instead asked seriously, "Oh? You think we can defeat the Ancestral Dragon if we work together?"
"Of course!" Lei Zhengang almost blurted out without thinking.
"Alright then, since even you, the brute, think it's possible, then I will reluctantly lead everyone through this crisis," Luo Sen said.
"That's not too bad—pah, who said you get to be the boss?" Lei Zhengang suddenly realized he had been outmaneuvered by soone even more brazen than himself.
Upon hearing this, Luo Sen sneered and retorted, "If I don't beco the Alliance Hierarch, should soone like you do it? Trusting our fate to a brute like you is not my style."
"Oh? I'm a brute? Well, I think you're an old fox. Do you think we'd feel safe following an old fox like you?"
"Alright, alright." Seeing the situation heading in the wrong direction, Xuan Zhenzi imdiately intervened to calm things down.
The heads of the smaller guilds naturally had no chance to contend against these two powers. With the dispute only having started, they couldn't tell if these two old n had a grudge from a past life, as they watched the back-and-forth, feeling quite speechless.
Although neither man was quite willing to concede to the other, they seed to have no particular prejudice against Xuan Zhenzi. Thus, when Xuan Zhenzi spoke up, they stopped their verbal onslaught.
Xuan Zhenzi sighed helplessly, "You're both in your forties. Can you two stop arguing? It doesn't matter who becos the Alliance Hierarch. What's important is that we must stand united."
"Actually, why do we have to go to war with the Ancestral Dragon at all," a chairman of a small guild timidly said. (To be continued.
