Chapter 304: Calm Before the Storm

Chapter 304: Calm Before the Storm

Chau Yu heaved a long sigh of disappointment. He had no intention of hiding his emotion as he stared at Hibiscus; nothing came out of the negotiations that lasted for over half a day.

I might fall short of you in battle, but intellect-wise, Im ten times better than you are.

The prideful Hibiscus didnt rebut Chau Yu surprisingly. Indeed, Chau Yu had shown everyone how wise a tactician he was during The Siege.

Theres a simple reason behind why Im in such an urge to form the coalition. Player levels are reaching a bottleneck now. If Im not wrong, a new map will come out in half a year, or even a few months. New maps mean new resources, and that will overhaul the current equilibrium. Do you think our meagre forces that operate on our own accords will be able to resist the gigantic coalition of Dragon Alliance and Evergrand?

It takes time to build up chemistry even if we join hands, and this peaceful period is the perfect time to do so. Dragon Alliance and Evergrand must be doing the same. Once were a step behind, well always be a step behind. Well, nevermind, you haughty bastards wont understand a thing. Continue to blind yourself in your pointless ego.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

Chau Yu ended with a snicker, his previous fury nowhere to be found, then turned to leave the conference room. Hibiscus sat silently on his chair without replying.

Oh right, Chau Yu said as he came to a pause with his back towards Hibiscus. Your sister has told you about that quest, right? Your sister Florate, Tigeroar, Pulchriture, Wai Kiu, Godmage, and A Man Like Wind. Even the six of them together were defeated by Mask. I honestly do not understand how you can afford to be so confident as to underestimate the man whom even I am fearful of.

Chau Yu really left this time, leaving behind Hibiscus pondering in his seat. The guild master had a lot on his mind.

Just as Chau Yu had envisioned, Bloodless Bladester and Hexen were already discussing the details of their coalition. The final decision was that both alliances would keep their current structures and continue to operate independently. When matters that required the coalitions actions arose, the leaders of each party, namely Hades and Drako Yau, would meet and discuss them directly.

That said, both alliances needed time to get used to cooperating. Both forces rarely had any direct confrontations, but squabbles between players were unavoidable and happened once in a while. These seemingly minor issues could spiral into unmendable conflicts if left unattended and would give others a chance to drive a wedge between them.

Hexen and Bloodless Bladester both knew this so they were already working on it, starting with having squads from both alliances that had past disputes working together in dungeons or the wilderness. Hopefully, having them cooperate could help them reconcile.

Bloodless Bladester had recently made a name for himself, not to mention he wielded the legendary Crimson Bladed Curved Jade. However, he had no intention of dropping his title of friendly ambassador of Underworld; he was all the more enthusiastic about his work. He preferred handling miscellaneous tasks for Hades the Diabolos rather than slaying his foes.

Hmm Their master pondered his words. Theyre not an idiotic bunch. Theres also the Violet brothers, Daemon Violet the leader and Phantasma Violet the mastermind. Theyre not a force to be underestimated when the brothers work together. Now that the demon race still has a sliver of patience left, its time to open up the wastelands. If we delay this any further, they might go all-out and ignore the story quests. The master sounded a bit despondent at the end.

Understood, the two acknowledged their masters command.

A breeze blew through the closed-off space, signalling that their master had left. They both let out a sigh.

We have no choice but to do it.

Right.

The short dialogue in the unknown room had a huge impact on the games future path.
