Chapter 951 – Xiao Alliance Internal Strife

Seeing that Di Chen was unable to understand, Juedai Fenghua changed the topic, “How are you going to deal with Swordsman City?”

Along with the fall of the Dali Alliance Army, the Handan Alliance plan of trapping the Dragon Legion Corps in the Shu Lands had failed. The situation of Swordsman City instantly became really nervous.

At such a time, Di Chen needed to have a clear attitude. Otherwise, Feng Qingyang was going to spew vulgarities once more.

“What do you think?” Di Chen did not directly reply.

“In my eyes, we should still assist them.”

“Reason?”

“From how the Great Xia arranged an ambush in Yongren City, Great Xia started this war to not only target Swordsman City. They might have other reasons.” Speaking about this, Juedai Fenghua suddenly said, “I heard that the old fox is planning a second voyage in the 10th month.”

Di Chen’s eyes focused, and he asked, “So you’re saying that the old fox is cleaning obstacles for the voyage squadron to set a trap?”

“There’s an 80% chance it’s like that. Great Xia has been established for not long, and there are many problems around it. With how careful the old fox is, he would not be able to go out at ease if he did not remove all these problems.” Juedai Fenghua analyzed.

In terms of understanding Ouyang Shuo, Juedai Fenghua was a level higher than Di Chen.

Di Chen’s facial muscles tensed up.

The four player territories in Dali were one of those problems. Who knew that their plan meant that they had actually fallen into the old fox’s scheme? Their move allowed him to clean out Dali Prefecture.

“Since you’re sure Great Xia has other motives, we should not do anything. Why are we helping Swordsman City?” Di Chen did not understand.

“Great Xia’s other targets are flexible; Swordsman City is the one that is a fixed target. If we do not assist them, and Great Xia is able to easily take it down, Great Xia will have enough available firepower to achieve its other strategic goals.”

This was a really terrifying woman, and she had basically guessed Ouyang Shuo’s plan.

“I understand!”

Di Chen nodded and agreed with Fenghua Juedai’s analysis.

************

In the next few days, this shockwaves broke through the entire wilderness as news after news spread across the various media, stunning everyone.

First, the Dali Alliance Army was ambushed outside Yongren City, astonishing the outside world. The China region players could not help but be amazed by the trap set up by Great Xia.

Next, there was news that Great Xia had taken the initiative to attack Dali Prefecture and even destroyed Yun City. Their cruel actions caused the territories surrounding Great Xia to feel a chill run down their spines.

No one could understand why Great Xia made such a decision. They had went all in against the Dali Imperial Court and left them in a terrible situation.

There was even news that spread that Great Xia had published a recruitment notice, openly poaching Dali people. The recruitment was not limited to NPCs but it also aimed at the players that lived there.

Anyone with foresight would be able to predict what kind of future was waiting for Dali; it was probably going to be much worse than Great Sui. Hence, if one had the chance, it was better to leave such a bitter place.

All of a sudden, numerous people applied for migration.

Some people said that this was Great Xia using money to poach away at the cornerstone of the Dali Imperial Court.

However, the Dali Imperial Court was helpless against them. There was nothing the Imperial Court could do without an emperor or a king.

The war was not over, and Great Xia had already obtained their first bucket of gold.

Apart from the 500 thousand population of Yun City, Great Xia had poached away a million people from the imperial city. This was the biggest fortune to Great Xia.

After Yun City was destroyed by Great Xia, there was news that the Dragon Legion Corps Commander Baiqi had finally entered the Shu Lands and was about to start the final battle against Swordsman City.

At the same time, Di Chen and the others openly announced that they would not let Shanhai City take down Swordsman City.

All of a sudden, the focus of the wilderness changed to Swordsman City once more.

Everyone was looking forward to this seismic clash. At this very moment, two unassuming things happened, but in truth, these events would have actual effects on the wilderness.

One happened in Dali, while one happened in Caiyun City.

10th month, 11th day, Xiao Nianying led his people back to the Satellite City.

The moment he entered, his sharp senses noticed that the players in the city were looking at him with mocking eyes.

This made Xiao Nianying, who cared a lot about his face, feel all the more uneasy.

“What happened?”

Thinking about this, Xiao Nianying could not help but quicken his pace toward the City Lord’s Manor.

What he did not know was that when the Dali Alliance Army lost, a huge storm had swept toward Xiao Alliance, toward the Xiao Family and Xiao Nianying.

The moment Xiao Nianying returned, this storm had just arrived.

When the Alliance Army was crushed, many glows of light shone in the reincarnation hall as one after another Xiao Alliance members revived.

In the second half of the 4th year, due to players cherishing their lives, less and less people died. Hence, the reincarnation hall became a really cold place, and there was rarely such a sight.

Players asked for information. Naturally, they soon understood what had happened.

“The Dali Alliance Army was attacked in Yongren City; the entire army was crushed”

This time, the player circle in Dali was in an uproar only because of the Xiao Alliance. After all, the Xiao Alliance was the top guild here, so they affected everyone with their actions.

A few days later, the number of Xiao Alliance members reviving continued.

The final battle at the border on the 9th day shocked everyone. In that day alone, there were 20 thousand Xiao Alliance members that revived, creating an all-time high.

Some people even calculated that less than 10% of the members survived.

Even if Xiao Alliance was a super guild, it was only a dark horse that rose up during the Guardian Guild battle. Its foundations could not be compared to old guilds like Snow-War Rose and the like.

Considering the branch guild members, Xiao Alliance had close to 600 thousand members. Amongst which, a large portion came from merging with small and medium-sized guilds after the Satellite City battle.

Out of the 600 thousand members, combat occupation players took up 2/3rd, which was 400 thousand. These players were moved into hundred men squads, thousand men squads, and elite squads.

The 100 thousand elites sent out this time were equal to half of the combat strength of the Xiao Alliance.

Now that only 10 thousand remained, it was the same as the Xiao Alliance losing half of their strength. Its position as the top guild in Dali was extremely shaky.

A weak tiger was one that the other animals in the forest targeted.

Within the Dali Imperial City, there were five guilds with over 200 thousand members, and there were two with more than 300 thousand.

Seeing the Xiao Alliance lose close to hundred thousand elites, these guilds could not help but be tempted.

The position of Guardian Guild was one that everyone craved for.

Just yesterday, these two large guilds had announced that they were going to merge to form the Purple Moon Alliance. Their guild leader was Purple Emperor and the deputy was Moon Emperor. They had a total of 500 thousand members, which was the same as Xiao Alliance.

Of course, this was just strength on the surface.

If they really compared the two, Purple Moon Alliance was a level weaker than the Xiao Alliance from before.

However, with Xiao Alliance losing 100 thousand elites, their strength was weaker than Purple Moon Alliance. Dali City was just one good opportunity away from changing its top guild.

Based on the settings of Gaia regarding Guardian Guild rights, at the start of every year, they would accept a challenge. If they could not succeed, they would naturally lose their position.

Seeing that it was already the 10th month, there were only two months till the 5th year. Without a doubt, the formation of the Purple Moon Alliance was targeting the position of Dali City Guardian Guild.

At that time, would the heavily hurt Xiao Alliance be able to beat the Purple Moon Alliance? The Dali players could all feel that a new overlord was about to be born.

This was also why the players were looking at Xiao Nianying and his group differently because many of them were from the Purple Moon Alliance.

These people were getting more and more arrogant and confident in the Satellite City. They were acting like it was just a matter of time before they took over.

Xiao Nianying and his group returned to the City Lord’s Manor, this new headquarters of the Xiao Alliance.

The atmosphere here was really solemn, which made it hard for one to breathe.

The uneasiness in his heart deepened. Just as he sat down, his right hand man called him, “Young master, master called you back.”

In name, Xiao Nianying was the guild leader. However, in truth, the one leader of the Xiao Alliance was the entire Xiao Family, and he was just a figure head.

The head of the Xiao Family was the true leader of the Xiao Alliance.

City Lord’s Manor, Main hall.

“Dad!”

Xiao Nianying bowed to his father, Xiao Yunyi, his heart palpitating.

Xiao Yunyi looked at his son, and his heart felt really complicated. Seeing his son’s armor torn and tattered and his son looking so exhausted, it was obvious that he had suffered a big defeat. He could not bring himself to scold Xiao Nianying.

In the end, sending men out was the family decision, and Xiao Nianying had just executed the plan.

The war commander was Wang Meng, so it was not his problem. The defeat was not solely Xiao Nianying’s to take.

‘But the other people do not think that way!’ Xiao Yunyi sighed.

Although Xiao Nianying was a person that cared about his face, he had sharp senses, “Father, did something happen?”

Xiao Yunyi nodded, and he gave a simple introduction of the Purple Moon Alliance.

“Those damn fellows!”

Xiao Nianying’s face was really ugly; he did not expect there to be challengers the moment the Xiao Alliance faced some problems.

“This is not the worst problem.” Xiao Yunyi was also really tense. After pausing, he said with difficulty, “A castle is often broken from the inside. There will be traitors from within the guild.”
